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)(l) 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:

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 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.
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
Page 4 of 8 pages
<PAGE> 5
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.
