Pae 8 of 9 Pages
JOINT FILING AGREEMENT
As permitted by Rule 13d-1(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., Dean Witter InterCapital Inc., and Dean
Witter, Discover & Co. (the "Companies") hereby agree to the joint filing of
Statements on Schedule 13G, including amendments thereto ("Statements"), with
respect to the equity securities of all issuers acquired by one or more of
the Companies provided that each Company on whose behalf a Statement is filed
remains at the time of filing individually eligible to use Schedule 13G with
respect to the securities to be reported therein. Notwithstanding the fact
that the Companies may make joint filings pursuant to this agreement, each
shall remain individually responsible for the timely filing of Statements and
for the completeness and accuracy of the information concerning such Company
contained therein; provided, however, that such Company is not responsible
for the completeness or accuracy of the information concerning the other
Companies making the filing, unless such Company knows or has reason to
believe that such information is inaccurate. Each statement filed pursuant to
this agreement shall identify the Companies on whose behalf it is filed,
shall contain the information required by Schedule 13G with regard to each
such Company, and shall indicate that such Statement is filed on behalf of
such Companies. This agreement shall be filed as an exhibit to each Statement
filed in reliance thereon or, to the extent permissible under applicable
rules, incorporated by reference as part of said Statement.
The Companies represent that, although Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. and
Dean Witter InterCapital Inc. are under control of Dean Witter, Discover &
Co., these Companies do not act in concert for the purpose of acquiring,
holding, voting or disposing of the equity securities of issuers, and make
all such determinations in accordance with their own respective best
interests or the best interests of their clients, as the case may be.
Accordingly, the Companies do not believe that they constitute a group within
the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1).
Each of Dean Witter, Discover & Co., Dean Witter InterCapital Inc., and
Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., hereby expressly declare that the filing of any
Statement permitted hereby shall not be construed as an admission that any of
said Companies is, for the purpose of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the
Securities Act of 1934, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by
such Statement, unless otherwise expressly noted in such Statements.
This agreement shall remain in full force and effect until one or more
of the Companies notifies the other Companies that it no longer desires to
make joint filings as permitted hereunder or until such time as the Companies
agree to terminate this agreement.
In evidence thereof, the undersigned, being duly authorized, hereby
execute this agreement this 11th day of February 1994.
