(1)  The securities to which this report relates are held for the benefit of
     S.A.C. Capital Associates, LLC, an Anguillan limited liability company
     ("SAC Associates"), in an account managed by a third-party investment
     manager which effected the transactions reported herein. S.A.C. Capital
     Advisors, LLC, ("SAC Advisors") and S.A.C. Capital Management, LLC ("SAC
     Management") are investment managers to SAC Associates, but do not maintain
     investment discretion over the securities to which this report relates.
     Steven A. Cohen controls each of SAC Advisors and SAC Management. Each of
     SAC Advisors, SAC Management and Steven A. Cohen disclaim any beneficial
     ownership of any of the Issuer's securities to which this report relates
     for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
     amended, except to the extent of its indirect pecuniary interest therein,
     and this report shall not be deemed an admission that SAC Advisors, SAC
     Management or Steven A. Cohen is the beneficial owner of such securities
     for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purposes.
