Alliance Capital Management LP ("Alliance Capital") is an investment advisor
registered under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940.

Alliance Capital provides investment advisory services to corporate employee
benefit plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
("ERISA"), public employee retirement systems, investment companies and separate
accounts registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, foundations,
endowment funds, tax-exempt organizations, and other institutional investors and
individuals.  Alliance Capital manages investment assets on behalf of its
clients which confers upon it, among other things, the right to vote on behalf
of its clients.  Under the federal securities laws, the right to vote or make
investment decisions with respect to a security (even if such right is
constrained by fiduciary duties and does not carry with it any pecuniary
interest in the securities) is enough to confer beneficial ownership on the
security on a person.  Any shares deemed beneficially owned by Alliance Capital
were acquired solely for investment purposes in the ordinary course and not for
the purpose or intent of influencing control over the issuer.
