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, State Farm Life and Accident Assurance
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 adviser under the Investment Advisers Act
of 1940. SFIMC serves as transfer agent and investment adviser to State
Farm Associates' Funds Trust, State Farm Variable Product Trust and State
Farm Mutual Fund Trust, three Delaware Business Trusts that are registered
investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Auto
Company also sponsors two qualified retirement plans for the benefit of
its employees, which plans are named the State Farm Insurance Companies
Employee Retirement Trust and the State Farm Insurance Companies Savings
and Thrift Plan for U.S. Employees (collectively the "Qualified Plans").
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 filing 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.
Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 each person listed in the table below expressly
disclaims "beneficial ownership" as to all shares as to which such
person has no right to receive the proceeds of sale of the security
and disclaims that it is part of a "group".
