INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE 13G
Instructions for Cover Page
(l)Names and I.R.S. Identification Numbers of Reporting
Persons-Furnish the full legal name of each person for whom the
report is filed-i.e., each person required to sign the schedule
itself-including each member of a group. Do not include the name of
a person required to be identified in the report but who is not a
reporting person. Reporting persons that are entities are also
requested to furnish their I.R.S. identification numbers, although
disclosure of such numbers is voluntary, not mandatory
(see "SPECIAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLYING WITH SCHEDULE 13G" below).
(2)If any of the shares beneficially owned by a reporting person are
held as a member of a group and that membership is expressly
affirmed, please check row 2(a). If the reporting person disclaims
membership in a group or describes a relationship with other
persons
but does not affirm the existence of a group, please check row 2(b)
[unless it is a joint filing pursuant to Rule 13d1(k)(1) in which
case it may not be necessary to check row 2(b)].
(3)The third row is for SEC internal use; please leave blank.
(4)Citizenship or Place of Organization-Furnish citizenship if the
named reporting person is a natural person. Otherwise, furnish
place
of organization.
(5)-(9), (11)Aggregate Amount Beneficially Owned By Each Reporting
Person, Etc.-Rows (5) through (9) inclusive, and (11) are to be
completed in accordance with the provisions of Item 4 of Schedule
13G. All percentages are to be rounded off to the nearest tenth
(one
place after decimal point).
(10)Check if the aggregate amount reported as beneficially owned in
row (9) does not include shares as to which beneficial ownership is
disclaimed pursuant to Rule 13d-4 (17 CFR 240.13d-4] under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
(12)Type of Reporting Person-Please classify each "reporting person"
according to the following breakdown (see Item 3 of Schedule 13G)
and place the appropriate symbol on the form:
CategorySymbol
Broker Dealer BD
Bank BK
Insurance Company IC
Investment Company IV
Investment Adviser IA
Employee Benefit Plan, Pension Fund, or Endowment Fund
EP
Parent Holding Company/Control Person HC
Savings Association SA
Church Plan CP
Corporation CO
Partnership PN
Individual IN
Other OO
Notes:Attach as many copies of the second part of the cover page as
are needed, one reporting person per page.
Filing persons may, in order to avoid unnecessary duplication,
answer items on the schedules (Schedule 13D, 13G or 14D1) by
appropriate cross references to an item or items on the cover
page(s). This approach may only be used where the cover page
item or
items provide all the disclosure required by the schedule item.
Moreover, such a use of a cover page item will result in the item
becoming a part of the schedule and accordingly being considered as
"filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act
or
otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act.
Reporting persons may comply with their cover page filing
requirements by filing either completed copies of the blank forms
available from the Commission, printed or typed facsimiles, or
computer printed facsimiles, provided the documents filed have
identical formats to the forms prescribed in the Commission's
regulations and meet existing Securities Exchange Act rules as to
such matters as clarity and size (Securities Exchange Act Rule
12b-12).
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLYING WITH SCHEDULE 13G
Under Sections 13(d), 13(g), and 23 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
the rules and regulations thereunder, the Commission is authorized to solicit
the information required to be supplied by this schedule by certain security
holders of certain issuers.
Disclosure of the information specified in this schedule is mandatory, except
for I.R.S. identification numbers, disclosure of which is voluntary. The
information will be used for the primary purpose of determining and disclosing
the holdings of certain beneficial owners of certain equity securities. This
statement will be made a matter of public record. Therefore, any information
given will be available for inspection by any member of the public.
Because of the public nature of the information, the Commission can use it
for a
variety of purposes, including referral to other governmental authorities or
securities self-regulatory organizations for investigatory purposes or in
connection with litigation involving the Federal securities laws or other
civil,
criminal or regulatory statutes or provisions. I.R.S. identification numbers,
if
furnished, will assist the Commission in identifying security holders and,
therefore, in promptly processing statements of beneficial ownership of
securities.
Failure to disclose the information requested by this schedule, except for
I.R.S. identification numbers, may result in civil or criminal action against
the persons involved for violation of the Federal securities laws and rules
promulgated thereunder.
