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:

Insurance Company IC
Investment Company IV
Investment Adviser IA

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.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This website contains forward-looking statements that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business, and can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such forward-looking statements may include words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "plan," "target," "strategy," "continue," "may," "will," "should," variations of such words, or other words and terms of similar meaning. All forward-looking statements reflect our best judgment and are based on several factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the risks as identified in the "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business" sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our most recent fiscal year, and other risks as identified from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports. Forward-looking statements are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we do not have, and expressly disclaim, any obligation to publicly release any updates or any changes in our expectations, or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions, or other business combinations that had not been completed as of the date of this filing.
