                            EXHIBIT A


This Exhibit lists the entities affiliated with State Farm Mutual
Automobile Insurance Company ("Auto Company") which might be deemed to
constitute a "group" with regard to the ownership of shares reported
herein.

Auto Company, an Illinois-domiciled insurance company, is the parent
company of multiple wholly owned insurance company subsidiaries,
including State Farm Life Insurance Company, and State Farm Fire and
Casualty Company.  Auto Company is also the parent company of State
Farm Investment Management Corp. ("SFIMC"), which is a registered
investment advisor under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940.
SFIMC serves as investment advisor to Advisers Investment Trust, a
Delaware Statutory Trust that is a registered investment company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  Auto Company also sponsors
a qualified retirement plan for the benefit of its employees, which
plan is named the State Farm Insurance Companies Employee Retirement
Trust.

As part of its corporate structure, Auto Company has established an
Investment Department.  Except for assets managed by SFIMC, the
Investment Department is directly or indirectly responsible for
managing or overseeing the management of the investment and
reinvestment of assets owned by each person that has joined in
filing this Schedule 13G.  Moreover, except for assets managed by
SFIMC, the Investment Department is responsible for voting proxies

managing or overseeing the management of assets for which SFIMC is
responsible.  Another division of Auto Company also is responsible for
voting proxies or overseeing the voting of proxies related to issuers the
shares of which SFIMC has investment discretion.  Each insurance
company included in this report has established an Investment Committee

firm's assets.  The Trustees of the Qualified Plans perform a similar role
in overseeing the investment of each plan's assets.

expressly disclaims "beneficial ownership" as to all shares as to
which such person has no right to receive the proceeds of sale of the
security and disclaims that it is part of a "group".
