I never would have suspected this extensive a list of note holders...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

We originally issued the notes in a private placement to the initial
purchasers, UBS Securities LLC and CIBC World Markets, on August 15, 2003. The
initial purchasers resold the notes to the purchasers, including the selling
securityholders listed below, in transfers exempt from registration pursuant to
Rule 144A of the Securities Act. Selling securityholders may offer and sell the
notes and the underlying common shares pursuant to this prospectus.

This prospectus has not been filed in respect of, and will not qualify,
any distribution of the notes, or underlying common shares, in any province or
territory of Canada.

The following table sets forth certain information concerning the
principal amount of notes beneficially owned and the number of common shares
issuable upon conversion of those notes that may be offered from time to time
under this prospectus by the selling securityholders named in the table. We
prepared this table based on the information supplied to us by the selling
securityholders named in the table and we have not sought to verify such
information. This table only reflects information regarding selling
securityholders who have provided us with such information. We expect that we
will update this table as we receive more information from holders of the notes
who have not yet provided us with their information. We will amend this
prospectus to include selling securityholders not named as of the date hereof or
supplement this prospectus to include information regarding certain transferees
of named selling securityholders in each case upon request and upon provision of
all required information to us. Information concerning the selling
securityholders may change from time to time and any changed information will be
set forth in supplements to this prospectus if and when necessary.

The number of common shares issuable on conversion of the notes shown in
the table below assumes conversion of the full amount of notes held by each
selling securityholder at an initial conversion rate of 56.1892 common shares
per $1,000 principal amount of notes. This conversion rate is subject to
adjustment in certain events. Accordingly, the number of conversion shares may
increase or decrease from time to time.

The percentages of common shares beneficially owned and being offered are
based on the number of our common shares that was outstanding as of December 31,
2003. Because the selling securityholders may offer all or some portion of the
notes or the common shares issuable on conversion of the notes pursuant to this
prospectus, we have assumed for purposes of the table below that the selling
securityholders will sell all of the notes and all of the common shares offered
by this prospectus pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, the selling
securityholders

identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a
portion of their notes in transactions exempt from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act since the date on which they provided the information to
us regarding their holdings. As of December 31, 2003, we had $172,500,000 in
principal amount of the notes and 68,892,027 common shares outstanding.

Except for UBS Securities LLC, which acted as one of the placement
agents in the private placement of the notes, none of the selling
securityholders has, or within the past three years has had, any position,
office or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or
affiliates.
