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, 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 advisor 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".
