The information in this prospectus supplement concerning the selling

Securityholders" in the prospectus. Capitalized items used and not defined

supplemented as follows:

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

We originally sold the convertible notes on June 20, 2000 to Donaldson,
Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated,
Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and Thomas Weisel Partners LLC. The initial purchasers
of the convertible notes have advised us that the convertible notes were resold
in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
to (1) "qualified institutional buyers," as defined in Rule 144A of the
Securities Act, and (2) a limited number of accredited investors in transactions
exempt from registration under the Securities Act. These subsequent purchasers,
or their transferees, pledgees, donees or successors, may from time to time
offer and sell any or all of the convertible notes and/or shares of the common
stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes pursuant to this
prospectus.

The convertible notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the convertible notes are being registered in accordance with the
registration rights agreement. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we
are required to file a registration statement with regard to the convertible
notes and the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the
convertible notes and to keep the registration statement effective until the
earlier of:

(1) the sale of all the securities registered pursuant to the registration
rights agreement and

(2) the expiration of the holding period applicable to these securities
under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any successor provision.

The selling securityholders may choose to sell convertible notes and/or the
shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes from
time to time. See "Plan of Distribution."

The following table sets forth:

(1) the name of each selling securityholder who has provided us with notice
as of the date of this prospectus pursuant to the registration rights
agreement that they may intend to sell or otherwise dispose of
convertible notes and/or shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the convertible notes pursuant to the registration
statement,

(2) the principal amount of convertible notes and the number of shares of
our common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes
which they may sell from time to time pursuant to the registration
statement, and

(3) the amount of outstanding convertible notes and our common stock

beneficially owned by the selling securityholder prior to the offering,
assuming no conversion of the convertible notes.

To our knowledge, no selling securityholder nor any of its affiliates has
held any position or office with, been employed by or otherwise has had any
material relationship with us or our affiliates, during the three years prior to
the date of this prospectus.

A selling securityholder may offer all or some portion of the convertible
notes and shares of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible
notes. Accordingly, no estimate can be given as to the amount or percentage of
convertible notes or our common stock that will be held by the selling
securityholders upon termination of sales pursuant to this prospectus. In
addition, the selling securityholders identified below may have sold,
transferred or disposed of all or a portion of their convertible notes since the
date on which they provided the information regarding their holdings in
transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

The information contained under the column heading "Shares That May be
Sold" represents shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of
convertible notes listed and assumes conversion of the full amount of the
convertible notes at the initial rate of $115.47 in principal amount of the
convertible notes per share of the common stock.
