* In accordance  with  Securities Exchange Act Release No. 39538 (January 12,
1998), this filing reflects the securities  beneficially owned by the Corporate
and Investment  Banking  business group and the Corporate Investments business
group (collectively, "CIB") of Deutsche  Bank  AG and its  subsidiaries and
affiliates  (collectively,  "DBAG"). This filing does not reflect securities, if
any,  beneficially  owned by any other business group of DBAG.  Consistent with
Rule 13d-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act"), this filing shall
not be  construed as an admission  that CIB is, for  purposes of Section  13(d)
under the Act, the  beneficial owner of any  securities  covered by the filing.
Furthermore, CIB disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities  beneficially
owned by (i) any client accounts with respect to which CIB or its employees have
voting or investment discretion, or both, and (ii) certain investment entities,
of which CIB is the general partner, managing general partner, or other manager,
to the extent interests in such entities are held by persons other than CIB.

**Under the terms of a no-action letter issued by the SEC staff to Deutsche Bank
AG on February 14, 2002, Deutsche Bank AG may report beneficial ownership for
certain non-US subsidiaries on Schedule 13G pursuant to Rule 13d-1(b). The
reporting person symbols provided in the Instructions to Schedule 13G have been
used herein (see Question 12, "Type of Reporting Person") to classify the non-
US subsidiaries eligible for 13G reporting under the SEC's no-action letter.
In addition, the eligible non-US subsidiaries have been categorized herein
(see Item 3) consistent with the business generally conducted by each such
subsidiary.
