    (1)
        Price Associates does not serve as custodian of the
    assets of any of its clients; accordingly, in each
    instance only the client or the client's custodian or
    trustee bank has the right to receive dividends paid
    with respect to, and proceeds from the sale of, such
    securities.

            The ultimate power to direct the receipt of
      dividends paid with respect to, and the proceeds
      from the sale of, such securities, is vested in the
      individual and institutional clients which Price
      Associates serves as investment adviser.  Any and
      all discretionary authority which has been
      delegated to Price Associates may be revoked in
      whole or in part at any time.

            Except as may be indicated if this is a joint
      filing with one of the registered investment
      companies sponsored by Price Associates which it
      also serves as investment adviser ("T. Rowe Price
      Funds"), not more than 5% of the class of such
      securities is owned by any one client subject to
      the investment advice of Price Associates.

        With respect to securities owned by any one of the T.
    Rowe Price Funds, only State Street Bank and Trust
    Company, as custodian for each of such Funds, has the
    right to receive dividends paid with respect to, and
    proceeds from the sale of, such securities.  No other
    person is known to have such right, except that the
    shareholders of each such Fund participate
    proportionately in any dividends and distributions so
    paid.

    my (our) knowledge and belief, the securities
    referred to above were acquired in the ordinary
