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-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).
