    J. Husic ("Shareholder") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons").

    clients.  Corporate G.P.'s beneficial ownership of Common Stock
    is indirect as a result of its control of IA.  Shareholder's
    beneficial ownership of Common Stock is indirect as a result of
    Shareholder's stock ownership in Corporate G.P.  The beneficial
    ownership of the Corporate G.P. and Shareholder is reported
    solely because Rule 13d-1(a) and (b) under the Securities
    Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires any person who is
    "directly or indirectly" the beneficial owner of more than five
    percent of any equity security of a specified class to file a
    Schedule 13G within the specified time period.  The answers in
    blocks 6, 8, 9 and 11 on pages 3 and 4 above and in responses to

                            EXHIBIT B

               IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF
             SUBSIDIARY WHICH ACQUIRED SECURITY BEING
            REPORTED ON BY THE PARENT HOLDING COMPANIES


  IA, a registered investment adviser, acquired "beneficial
ownership" of the securities being reported on as a result of its
discretionary authority to acquire, dispose and (with respect to
certain of such securities) vote the securities being reported
on.  Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(b)(ii)(G) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, a parent holding company may file a
statement on Schedule 13G.  Under a series of SEC no-action
letters, including the letter issued to WARREN BUFFET AND
BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY, INC. (available December 5, 1986), the SEC
allowed individuals to file Schedule 13G, if such individuals
controlled corporations that either were eligible to file
Schedule 13G or directly or indirectly controlled entities
eligible to file Schedule 13G reports.  As an individual and an
entity, respectively, ultimately controlling an entity qualified
to file Schedule 13G, Shareholder and Corporate G.P. should be
treated as "parent holding companies" and given the benefit of
the Schedule 13G reporting regime to report their indirect
beneficial ownership in such shares.
