             SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLYING WITH SCHEDULE 13D

Under Sections 13(d) 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 Social Security or l.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 utilize 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 statements or provisions. Social Security or 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
Social Security or 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.
