                             SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

         The senior convertible debentures were originally purchased from First
American on April 24, 2001. The initial purchasers of the senior convertible
debentures have advised First American that the senior convertible debentures
were resold in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act to "qualified institutional buyers," defined in Rule 144A of the
Securities Act and to buyers outside the United States in accordance with
Regulation S under the Securities Act. These subsequent purchasers, or their
transferees, pledgees, donees or successors, may from time to time offer and
sell any or all of the senior convertible debentures and/or First American
common shares issuable upon conversion of the senior convertible debentures
pursuant to this prospectus.

         The selling securityholders may choose to sell senior convertible
debentures and/or common shares issuable upon conversion of the senior
convertible debentures from time to time. See "Plan of Distribution."

         The following table sets forth:

         o    the name of each selling securityholder who has provided First
              American with notice as of the date of this prospectus pursuant to
              the registration rights agreement of its intent to sell or
              otherwise dispose of senior convertible debentures and/or common
              shares issuable upon conversion of the senior convertible
              debentures pursuant to the registration statement;

         o    the principal amount of senior convertible debentures and the
              number of common shares issuable upon conversion of the senior
              convertible debentures which it may sell from time to time
              pursuant to the registration statement; and

         o    the amount of outstanding senior convertible debentures and common
              shares beneficially owned by the selling securityholder prior to
              the offering (assuming no conversion of the senior convertible
              debentures).

         Except as indicated below, no selling securityholder, and no affiliate
of a selling securityholder, has held any position or office with, been employed
by or otherwise has had any material relationship with First American or First
American's affiliates, during the three years prior to the date of this
prospectus.

         A selling securityholder may offer all or some portion of the senior
convertible debentures and common shares issuable upon conversion of the senior
convertible debentures. Accordingly, no estimate can be given as to the amount
or percentage of senior convertible debentures or common shares that will be
held by the selling securityholders upon termination of sales pursuant to this
prospectus. In addition, the selling securityholders identified below may have
sold, transferred or disposed of all or a portion of their senior convertible
debentures since the date on which they provided the information regarding their
holdings in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.
