INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE 13G
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), (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:
Category Symbol
Broker Dealer BD
Bank BK
Insurance Company IC
Investment Company IV
Investment Adviser IA

Parent Holding Company/Control Person HC
Savings Association SA

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.
