            Occidental is an insurance company as defined in
Section 3(a)(19) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Occidental

            TICC is an insurance company as defined in Section
3(a)(19) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  TIS is an
investment adviser registered under Section 203 of the Investment

subsidiaries of Transamerica.

            Management of the affairs of subsidiaries of

voting of the shares of the Common Stock beneficially owned by such
subsidiaries, resides in respective officers and directors of the
subsidiaries and is not directed by Transamerica or other
subsidiaries.  Accordingly, the filing of this Schedule 13G by
Transamerica and TICC is not intended as, and should not be deemed,
an acknowledgement of beneficial ownership or shared voting or
dispositive power by Transamerica or TICC of the shares of the
Common Stock beneficially owned by their respective subsidiaries,
such beneficial ownership or attribution or shared voting or
dispositive power being disclaimed.
