 The ultimate power to direct the receipt of dividends
 paid with respect to, and the proceeds from the sale
 of, such securities, is vested in the individual and
 institutional clients which Price Associates serves as
 investment adviser. Any and all discretionary
 authority which has been delegated to Price Associates
 may be revoked in whole or in part at any time.

 Except as may be indicated if this is a joint filing
 with one of the registered investment companies
 sponsored by Price Associates which it also serves as
 investment adviser ("T. Rowe Price Funds"), not more
 than 5% of the class of such securities is owned by
 any one client subject to the investment advice of
 Price Associates.

 (2) With respect to securities owned by any one of the T.
 Rowe Price Funds, only State Street Bank and Trust
 Company, as custodian for each of such Funds, has the
 right to receive dividends paid with respect to, and
 proceeds from the sale of, such securities. No other
 person is known to have such right, except that the
 shareholders of each such Fund participate
