INSTRUCTIONS FOR COVER PAGE

(1)                Names and Social Security 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
                   are also requested to furnish their Social Security or 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 such membership is
                   expressly affirmed, please check row 2(a). If the membership
                   in a group is disclaimed or the reporting person described a
                   relationship with other persons but does not affirm the
                   existence of a group, please check row 2(b) [unless a joint
                   filing pursuant to Rule 13d-1(e)(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 Persons--Please classify each "reporting
                   person" according to the following breakdown (see Item 3 of

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 14D-1) 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 coverage 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 Social Security or I.R.S. identification numbers, disclosure of which
is voluntary. The information will be used for the primary purpose of
determining and disclosing the


                                Page 3 of 8 pages

<PAGE>   4
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
utilize 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. Social Security
or 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 Social Security or 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.
