Item 6.          Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another:


Neuberger Berman, LLC is deemed to be a beneficial owner for purpose of 
Rule 13(d) since it has shared power to make decisions whether to retain 
or dispose of, and in some cases the sole power to vote the securities of 
many unrelated clients.  Neuberger Berman, LLC does not, however, have any 
economic interest in the securities of those clients.  The clients are the 
actual owners of the securities and have the sole right to receive and the 
power to direct the receipt of dividends from or proceeds from the sale of 
such securities.


With regard to the shares set forth under Item 4.(c)(II), 2,807,849 shares 
or 9.3% of the outstanding are beneficially owned by Neuberger Berman 
Genesis Fund Portfolio, a series of Equity Managers Trust.  Neuberger 
Berman, LLC and Neuberger Berman Management Inc. are deemed to be 
beneficial owners of these shares for purposes of Rule 13(d) since they 
both have shared power to make decisions whether to retain or dispose of 
the securities.  Neuberger Berman, LLC and Neuberger Berman Management 
Inc. serve as sub-adviser and investment manager, respectively, of 
Neuberger Berman Genesis Fund Portfolio, which holds such shares in the 
ordinary course of its business and not with the purpose nor with the 
effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer.

With regard to the balance of the shares set forth under Item 4.(c)(II), 
Neuberger Berman, LLC and Neuberger Berman Management Inc. are deemed to 
be the beneficial owners for the purposes of Rule 13(d), since they have 
power to make decisions whether to retain or dispose of securities held by 
Neuberger Berman's various other Funds.  Neuberger Berman, LLC is the sub-
advisor to the aforementioned Funds. 

No other Neuberger Berman, LLC advisory client has an interest of more than 
5% of the issuer.

It should be further noted that the share calculation under item 4.(c)(IV) 
is derived from a total combination of the shares set forth under Item 
4.(c)(I and II). The remaining balance of shares, if any, are for individual 
client accounts over which Neuberger Berman, LLC has shared power to 
dispose.
