(the "Companies") hereby agree to the joint filing of Statements on Schedule 13G, including amendments thereto ("Statements"), with respect to the equity securities of all issuers acquired by one or more of the Companies provided that each Company on whose behalf a Statement is filed remains at the time of filing individually eligible to use Schedule 13G with respect to the securities to be reported therein. Notwithstanding the fact that the Companies may make joint filings pursuant to this agreement, each shall remain individually responsible for the timely filing of Statements and for the completeness and accuracy of the information concerning such Company contained therein; provided, however, that such Company is not responsible for the completeness or accuracy of the information concerning the other Companies making the filing, unless such Company knows or has reason to believe that such information is inaccurate. Each statement filed pursuant to this agreement shall identify the Companies on whose behalf it is filed, shall contain the information required by Schedule 13G with regard to each such Company, and shall indicate that such Statement is filed on behalf of such Companies. This agreement shall be filed as an exhibit to each Statement filed in reliance thereon or, to the extent permissible under applicable rules, incorporated by reference as part of said Statement. The Companies represent that, although Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. and Dean Witter InterCapital Inc. are under control of Dean Witter, Discover & Co., these Companies do not act in concert for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the equity securities of issuers, and make all such determinations in accordance with their own respective best interests or the best interests of their clients, as the case may be.

Each of Dean Witter, Discover & Co., Dean Witter InterCapital Inc., and Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., hereby expressly declare that the filing of any Statement permitted hereby shall not be construed as an admission that any of said Companies is, for the purpose of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Act of 1934, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by such Statement, unless otherwise expressly noted in such Statements. This agreement shall remain in full force and effect until one or more of the Companies notifies the other Companies that it no longer desires to make joint filings as permitted hereunder or until such time as the Companies agree to terminate this agreement. In evidence thereof, the undersigned, being duly authorized, hereby execute this agreement this 11th day of February 1994. DEAN WITTER REYNOLDS INC. By: /S/ MICHAEL T.
