Selling holders, including their transferees, pledgees, donees or successors, may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the Notes and common stock into which the Notes are convertible. We agree to use reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement effective until July 26, 2002. Our registration of the Notes and the shares of common stock into which the Notes are convertible does not necessarily mean that the selling holders will sell any or all of the Notes or the shares of the common stock into which the Notes are convertible. The following table sets forth information, as of February 22, 2002, with respect to the selling holders and the principal amounts of Notes beneficially owned by each selling holder that may be offered under this prospectus. The information is based on information provided by or on behalf of the selling holders. The selling holders may offer all, some or none of the Notes or common stock into which the Notes are convertible. Because the selling holders may offer all or some portion of the Notes or the common stock, no estimate can be given as to the amount of the Notes or the common stock that will be held by the selling holders upon termination of any sales. In addition, the selling holders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their Notes since the date on which they provided the information regarding their Notes in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Accordingly, the aggregate principal amount of Notes and the number of shares of common stock into which the Notes are convertible may increase or decrease.
