INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE 13G
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 describes 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 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

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-I) 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 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 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.
Page 3 of 8 pages
<PAGE> 4
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.
