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 OR 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:

Partnership PN

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 schedule (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.
