         Information concerning the selling securityholders is based upon
information provided to us by the securityholders. This information may change
from time to time and any changed information of which we are apprised will be
set forth in future prospectus supplements if and when necessary. In addition,
the per share conversion price and therefore the number of shares of common
stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of the notes, are subject to
adjustment. See "Description of the Notes" on page 17 of the prospectus. As a
result, the aggregate principal amount of notes and the number of shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion or redemption may increase or decrease.

                 The date of this Supplement is October 10, 2001
