option of the holder.

shares of common stock outstanding as of May 3, 2002. In calculating this
amount for each holder, we treated as outstanding the number of
shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of all of that holder's
LYONs, but we did not assume conversion of any other holder's LYONs. Does
