Signature of Reporting Person Date
Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )On March 4, 2003, Southeastern Asset Management, Inc., investment adviser to Longleaf Partners Fund, a series of Longleaf Partners Funds Trust, converted its Schedule 13G to a filing on Schedule 13D. As a result, Longleaf Partners Fund filed a Form 3 on March 4, 2003, because it could be deemed a beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Issuer's common stock for Section 16 purposes. On July 23, 2003, Southeastern converted its Schedule 13D back to a Schedule 13G. Accordingly, Longleaf Partners Fund qualifies as an institution not subject to Section 16, under Rule 16a-1(a)(1). The increase in shares owned from 2,900,000 on March 4, 2003 to 4,350,000 on July 23, 2003, is a result of the Issuer's 3 for 2 stock split in June 2003.
( 2 )There has been no purchase or sale transaction which has prompted the filing of this Form 4. Please see footnote #1 for a description of the events giving rise to this filing. It has been submitted for the purpose of indicating that Longleaf Partners Fund is no longer subject to Section 16.
( 3 )The increase in shares owned from 2,900,000 on March 4, 2003 to 4,350,000 on July 23, 2003 is a result of the Issuer's 3 for 2 stock split in June 2003.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
