                            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
transfer agent under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a
registered investment advisor under the Invest Advisors Act of 1940.
SFIMC serves as transfer agent and investment advisor to State Farm
Associates' Fund Trust, a Delaware Business 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.  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, the Investment
Department is responsible for voting proxies or overseeing the voting
of proxies related to issuers the shares of which are held by one or
more entities that have joined in the filing of this report.  Each
insurance company included in this report and SFIMC have established
an Investment Committee that oversees the activities of the Investment
Department in managing the firm's assets.  The Trustees of the
Qualified Plans perform a similar role in overseeing the investment of
each plan's assets.

which such person has no right to receive the proceeds of sale of the
security and disclaims that it is part of a "group".
