         This statement, which is being filed by Paul G. Allen, constitutes
Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read as
follows:

                           (a) As of the date of this Amendment, Mr. Allen
         beneficially owns 166,199 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock,
         including options to purchase an aggregate of 69,999 shares of
         Common Stock. Mr. Allen's stockholdings represent less than 0.1% of the
         Issuer's Common Stock outstanding (based on 340,633,475 shares of
         Common Stock outstanding on February 15, 2002 as reported by the Issuer
         in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
         2001).

                           (b) Mr. Allen has sole voting and dispositive power
         with respect to all of the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock
         beneficially owned by him.

                           (c) Mr. Allen effected the following private sales of
         shares of Common Stock during the sixty days prior to and through the
         date of this Amendment:

                           On May 7, 2002 and May 8, 2002, Mr. Allen consummated
         the sale of 19,512,966 shares and 344,862 shares of Common Stock,
         respectively, for $28.50 per share pursuant to the Stock Purchase
         Agreement.

                           (d) Mr. Allen does not know of any other person who
         has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of
         dividends from or the proceeds from the sale of any Common Stock
         beneficially owned by him.

                           (e) As a result of the sale of shares of Common Stock
         pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Mr. Allen ceased to be the
         beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Common Stock of the
         Issuer on May 7, 2002.

Item 6.           Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With
