(identifying those shares which there is a right to acquire) by each
person named in Item 2. The above mentioned information should also be
furnished with respect to persons who, together with any of the persons
named in Item 2, comprise a group within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) of the Act:
(b) For each person named in response to paragraph (a), indicate the number
of shares as to which there is sole power to vote or to direct the
vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose
or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct
the disposition. Provide the applicable information required by Item 2
with respect to each person with whom the power to vote or to direct
the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition is shared;
(c) Describe any transactions in the class of securities reported on that
were effected during the past sixty days or since the most recent
filing of Schedule 13D (Sec. 240, 13d-191), whichever is less, by the
persons named in response to paragraph (a).
Instruction. The description of a transaction required by Item 5(c)
shall include, but not necessarily be limited to: (1) the identity of
the person covered by Item 5(c) who effected the transaction; (2) the
date of the transaction; (3) the amount of securities involved; (4) the
price per share or unit; and (5) where and how the transaction was

(d) If any other person is known to have the right to receive or the power
to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale
of, such securities, a statement to that effect should be included in
response to this item and, if such interest relates to more than five
percent of the class, such person should be identified. A listing of
