Instructions for Cover Page
(l) Names and I.R.S. Identification 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 that are entities are also requested to furnish their
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 that membership is expressly affirmed,
please check row 2(a). If the reporting person disclaims membership in
a group or describes a relationship with other persons but does not
affirm the existence of a group, please check row 2(b) [unless it is a
joint filing pursuant to Rule 13d1(k)(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), 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:

Parent Holding Company/Control Person HC
Savings Association SA
Church Plan CP
Corporation CO
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 schedules (Schedule
13D, 13G or 14D1) 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 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 use 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. 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 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.
