(1)      Assumes conversion of all of the holder's debentures at a
         conversion rate of 41.58 shares of CD common stock per $1,000
         principal amount of the debentures. This conversion rate is
         subject to adjustment, however, as described under "Description of
         Debentures--Conversion Rights". As a result, the number of shares
         of CD common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures may
         increase or decrease in the future. Does not include shares of CD
         common stock that may be issued by us upon purchase of the
         debentures by us at the option of the holder.

(2)      Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act, using
         982,020,341 shares of CD common stock outstanding as of March 15,
         2002. In calculating this amount for each holder, we treated as
         outstanding the number of shares of CD common stock issuable upon
         conversion of all of that holder's debentures, but we did not
         assume conversion of any other holder's debentures. Does not
         include shares of CD common stock that may be issued by us upon
         purchase of the debentures by us at the option of the holder.

         Investing in the debentures or shares of CD common stock involves
risks that are described in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 14
of the prospectus.

         Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state
securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or
determined if this prospectus supplement is truthful or complete. Any
representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

           The date of this prospectus supplement is May 7, 2002.
