Fayez Sarofim is Chairman of the Board and President, a director and owner of a majority of the outstanding capital stock of Fayez Sarofim & Co. and may be considered a parent holding company of Fayez Sarofim & Co. within the meaning of Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(G). Item 4 Ownership as of December 31, 2006: (a) Amount Beneficially Owned: (i) 1,411,168 shares are held in investment advisory accounts managed by Fayez Sarofim & Co. for numerous clients. Pursuant to its investment advisory contract with its clients, Fayez Sarofim & Co. has full investment discretion with respect to such investment advisory accounts.

The clients are entitled to the economic benefits (dividend payments and sales proceeds) of ownership of such shares. Each client also has the right to terminate its investment advisory relationship with Fayez Sarofim & Co. at any time. Because Fayez Sarofim & Co. has power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, such shares, it may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of these shares for the purposes of the Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Because Fayez Sarofim is Chairman of the Board and President, a director and owner of a majority of the outstanding capital stock of Fayez Sarofim & Co., he may also be deemed to be an indirect beneficial owner of these shares for the purposes of Rule 13d-3.

Because Sarofim Trust Co. has power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, such shares, it may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of these shares for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Fayez Sarofim & Co. and Mr. Sarofim as controlling persons of Sarofim Trust Co., may be deemed to be indirect beneficial owners of these shares for such purposes. 4 (iii) 13,900 shares are held in investment advisory accounts managed by Sarofim International Management Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fayez Sarofim & Co., which is also an Investment Advisor registered under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Pursuant to its investment advisory contracts with its clients, Sarofim International Management Company has full investment discretion with respect to such investment advisory accounts. However, Sarofim International Management Company is not the record owner of any such shares as such shares are held of record by the respective clients or by trustees or custodians for such clients. The clients are entitled to the economic benefits of ownership of such shares. Each client also has the right to terminate its investment advisory relationship with Sarofim International Management Company at any time. Because Sarofim International Management Company has power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, such shares, it may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of these shares for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Fayez Sarofim & Co. and Mr. Sarofim as controlling persons of Sarofim International Management Company, may be deemed to be indirect beneficial owners of these shares for such purposes. (iv) 725,020 shares are owned directly by Sarofim International Management Company for its own account. Because Fayez Sarofim is a controlling person of Fayez Sarofim & Co., he may be deemed to be an indirect beneficial owner of these shares for the purposes of Rule 13d-3. (v) 2,024,670 shares are owned of record and beneficially by Fayez Sarofim. Fayez Sarofim & Co. has no beneficial ownership of these shares. (vi) 6,066 shares are held in trusts with respect to which Mr. Sarofim is a trustee. Fayez Sarofim & Co. has no beneficial ownership of these shares. Also, Mr. Sarofim has no beneficial interest in any of these trusts. Mr. Sarofim shares with the other trustees of such trusts the power to vote and to dispose of these shares. (b) Percent of Class: (i) 2.1% -- as to shares held in accounts managed by Fayez Sarofim & Co. with power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of such shares. (ii) 0.6% -- as to shares held in accounts managed by Sarofim Trust Co. with power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, such shares. (iii) 0.0% -- as to shares held in accounts managed by Sarofim International Management Company with power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, such shares. (iv) 1.1% -- as to shares owned directly by Sarofim International Management Company for its own account. (v) 3.0% -- as to shares owned of record and beneficially by Fayez S. Sarofim. (vi) 0.0% -- as to shares held in trusts of which Mr. Sarofim is a trustee. (c) Number of shares as to which Fayez Sarofim & Co. has: (i) sole power to vote or direct the vote: 0 shares. 5 (ii) shared power to vote or to direct the vote: 2,303,274 shares. The voting arrangements with respect to the securities held in the various investment advisory accounts managed by Fayez Sarofim & Co., Sarofim Trust Co., or Sarofim International Management Company vary. The contracts relating to certain of the investment advisory accounts do not grant any power to Fayez Sarofim & Co., Sarofim Trust Co., or Sarofim International Management Company to vote securities held in such accounts. The contracts relating to other investment advisory accounts provide that the securities held in such investment advisory accounts will be voted in accordance with the directions given by the investment adviser. All securities held in investment advisory accounts are held of record by clients or by trustees or custodians for clients of Fayez Sarofim & Co., Sarofim Trust Co., or Sarofim International Management Company. Proxies voting the shares are signed by the client, the trustee or the custodian. Accordingly, it is difficult to determine the extent of voting power possessed by Fayez Sarofim & Co. It is believed, however, that of the 2,544,828 shares which Fayez Sarofim & Co., Sarofim Trust Co., or Sarofim International Management Company may be deemed to own beneficially for purposes of Rule 13d-3, it may be deemed to share voting power with respect to not more than 2,303,274 of such shares. Such voting power may be deemed to be shared with Mr. Sarofim who may be deemed to share such power by virtue of his control relationship with Fayez Sarofim & Co., Sarofim Trust Co., and Sarofim International Management Company. Such voting power may also be deemed to be shared with trustees, other fiduciaries, clients or others in many cases. (iii) sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of: 0 shares. (iv) shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of: 2,544,828 shares. Such power may be deemed to be shared with Mr. Sarofim, and also with Sarofim Trust Co. with respect to securities held in accounts managed by Sarofim Trust Co. and with Sarofim International Management Company with respect to securities held in investment advisory accounts of Sarofim International Management Company. (d) Number of shares as to which Fayez Sarofim has: (i) sole power to vote or direct the vote: 2,024,670 shares. (ii) shared power to vote or direct the vote: 2,309,340 shares. As discussed above, the voting arrangements with respect to the shares held in the various investment advisory accounts managed by Fayez Sarofim & Co., Sarofim Trust Co., or Sarofim International Management Company, vary. Fayez Sarofim may be deemed to share the voting power possessed by Fayez Sarofim & Co., Sarofim Trust Co., or Sarofim International Management Company, with respect to the securities held in such accounts by virtue of his control relationship to such investment advisers. Accordingly, it is believed that of the 2,550,894 shares which Mr. Sarofim may be deemed to own beneficially for purposes of Rule 13d-3 (excluding the 2,024,670 shares which he holds for his own account and has the sole power to vote but including the 6,066 shares held by trusts of which he is a trustee), he may be deemed to share voting power with respect to not more than 2,309,340 of such shares. Such voting power may be deemed to be shared with Fayez Sarofim & Co. with respect to securities held in investment advisory accounts managed by Fayez Sarofim & Co., with Fayez Sarofim & Co. and Sarofim Trust Co. with respect to securities held in investment advisory accounts managed by Sarofim Trust Co. and with Fayez Sarofim & Co. and Sarofim International Management Company with respect to securities held in investment advisory accounts of Sarofim International Management Company. In many cases where securities are held in accounts managed by Fayez Sarofim & Co., Sarofim Trust Co., or Sarofim International Management Company, voting power may also be deemed to be shared with trustees, other fiduciaries, clients of Fayez Sarofim & Co. or Sarofim Trust Co., or Sarofim International Management Company, or others. (iii) sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of: 2,024,670 shares. (iv) shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of: 2,550,894 shares. Such power may be deemed to be shared with Fayez Sarofim & Co. with respect to securities held in accounts managed by Fayez Sarofim & Co., with Fayez Sarofim & Co. and Sarofim Trust Co. with respect to the securities held in accounts managed by Sarofim Trust Co. and with Fayez Sarofim & Co. and Sarofim International Management Company with respect to securities held in investment advisory accounts of Sarofim International Management Company and with other trustees of trusts of which Mr. Sarofim is a trustee with respect to the securities held in such trusts. 6 Item 5 Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class. Not Applicable. Item 6 Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person. With respect to securities held in accounts managed by Fayez Sarofim & Co. or held in accounts managed by Sarofim Trust Co., or held in accounts managed by Sarofim International Management Company clients have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such securities. No one client has such right with respect to more than five percent of the Class.
