                                    ---------


                  Each of  Occidental  and  TALIAC is an  insurance  company  as
defined in Section 3(a)(19) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934. TALIAC is a
wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  Occidental,  and  Occidental  is a  wholly  owned

                  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  Advisers Act of 1940. Both TICC and TIS are

Transamerica,  including decisions respecting  dispositions and/or 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 TICC and  Occidental  is not  intended  as,  and  should  not be  deemed,  an
acknowledgment of beneficial  ownership or shared voting or dispositive power by
them of the shares of the Common Stock beneficially owned by their subsidiaries,
and such  beneficial  ownership or  attribution  or shared voting or dispositive
power is expressly disclaimed.
