                    company in accordance with Reg. 240.13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(G);

ITEM 4:      OWNERSHIP

             The securities reported on herein are beneficially owned by one or
more open-end investment companies or other managed accounts which are advised
or sub-advised by Waddell & Reed Investment Management Company ("WRIMCO"), an
investment advisory subsidiary of



Waddell & Reed, Inc. ("WRI"). WRI is a broker-dealer and underwriting subsidiary
of Waddell & Reed Financial Services, Inc., a parent holding company ("WRFSI").
In turn, WRFSI is a subsidiary of Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc., a publicly
traded company ("WDR"). The investment advisory contracts grant WRIMCO all
investment and/or voting power over securities owned by such advisory clients.
The investment sub-advisory contracts grant WRIMCO investment power over
securities owned by such sub-advisory clients and, in most cases, voting power.
Any investment restriction of a sub-advisory contract does not restrict
investment discretion or power in a material manner. Therefore, WRIMCO may be
deemed the beneficial owner of the securities covered by this statement under
Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act").

             WRIMCO, WRI, WRFSI and WDR are of the view that they are not
acting as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the 1934 Act. Indirect
"beneficial ownership" is attributed to the respective parent companies solely
because of the parent companies' control relationship to WRIMCO.

            (a) Amount beneficially owned: 1,000,000

            (b) Percent of class: 2.8%

            (c) Number of shares as to which the person has:

                (i) Sole voting power to vote or to direct the vote:

                      WDR:  1,000,000 (indirect)
                      WRFSI:  1,000,000 (indirect)
                      WRI:  1,000,000 (indirect)
                      WRIMCO:  1,000,000 (direct)

               (ii)  Shared power to vote or to direct the vote: 0

               (iii) Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:

                      WDR:  1,000,000 (indirect)
                      WRFSI:  1,000,000 (indirect)
                      WRI:  1,000,000 (indirect)
                      WRIMCO:  1,000,000 (direct)

                (iv)  Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 0



ITEM 5:      OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS:

             If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of
the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of
more than 5 percent of the class of securities, check the following: /X/

ITEM 6:      OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON:

             The clients of WRIMCO, including investment companies registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and other managed accounts, have the
right to receive dividends from as well as the proceeds from the sale of such
securities.

ITEM 7:      IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF THE SUBSIDIARY WHICH
             ACQUIRED THE SECURITY BEING REPORTED ON BY THE PARENT HOLDING
             COMPANY:

             See Attached Exhibit 2.

ITEM 8:      IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF MEMBERS OF THE GROUP:

             Not Applicable.

ITEM 9:      NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION OF GROUP:

             Not Applicable.



Item 10:     Certification:

             By signing below I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and
belief, the securities referred to above were acquired and are held in the
ordinary course of business and were not acquired and are not held for the
purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the
