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 14D-l) 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 ofthe 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).
