Instructions for Cover Page

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 13d(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. -

Act of 1934.

Schedule 13G Page 4 of 8
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 s '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 mattes as clarity and six
(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.
