Capital Growth Management Limited Partnership ("CGM") disclaims any beneficial
interest in the shares reported in this Schedule 13G. Moreover, CGM is of the
view that the client accounts it manages are not acting as a "group" for
purposes of Section 13(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934
Act") and it and such clients are not otherwise required to attribute to each
other the "beneficial ownership" of securities "beneficially owned" under Rule
13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act. Therefore, CGM is of the view the shares
held in such accounts should not be aggregated for purposes of Section 13(d).
However, CGM is making this filing on a voluntary basis as if all of the shares
are beneficially owned by CGM on a joint basis.
