(1) Also includes any sale of the notes and the underlying common
stock by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in
interest that receive such securities by pledge, gift,
distribution or other non-sale related transfer from the named
selling securityholders. Information about other selling
securityholders will be set forth in future prospectus supplements
or in other documents that we file from time to time with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that are incorporated by
reference in the prospectus, if required. See "Where You Can Find
More Information" in the prospectus.
(2) Excludes common stock issuable upon conversion of the selling
securityholder's notes.
(3) Assumes conversion of all of the selling securityholder's notes
at a conversion rate of 12.9783 per note and a cash payment in
lieu of the issuance of any fractional share interest. However,
this conversion rate is subject to adjustment as described under
"Description of the Notes -- Conversion Rights" in the prospectus.
As a result, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the notes may increase or decrease in the future.
(4) Reflects rounding down of fractional common stock issuable to
each selling securityholder upon conversion of the notes.
(5) Calculated based on Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 using 27,152,579 shares of common stock outstanding as of
September 30, 2003. In calculating this amount, we did not treat
as outstanding the common stock issuable upon conversion of notes.
(6) Consists of 9,000 shares held by Allstate Insurance Company,
3,100 shares held by Allstate Retirement Plan and 1,100 shares
held by Agents Pension Plan.
(7) The figures in these columns are based on information supplied
to us, as of October 8, 2003, by the respective selling security
holders named in the table. As of that date, these selling
securityholders had supplied us with information indicating that,
collectively, they owned more than $305,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of notes (which would be convertible into more
than 3,958,382 shares of common stock), reflecting, we believe,
that one or more selling securityholders supplied us with
information for inclusion in the table and then sold their notes
in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act to persons who also supplied us with information
with respect to the same notes. However, since this prospectus
supplement would not be applicable to any sale of notes after
they have been publicly sold utilizing this prospectus supplement
or a prior prospectus supplement or prospectus, no more than
$305,000,000 principal amount of notes, nor more than 3,958,382
shares of common stock, could be sold utilizing this prospectus
supplement. Accordingly, the $305,000,000 and the 3,958,382
share totals in these columns have been retained and represent
the maximum principal amount of notes and maximum number of
shares of common stock that could be sold hereunder.
The above table sets forth information as of October 8, 2003,
based on information supplied to us by the selling securityholders named in the
table. The selling securityholders listed in the above table may have sold or
transferred, in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, some or all of their notes since the date on which the
information was supplied to us and presented in the above table. Information
about the selling securityholders may change over time. Any changed information
supplied to us will be set forth in future prospectus supplements.

Investing in the notes involves risks that are described in
the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 9 of the prospectus.
