WITHHOLDING INFORMATION (Substitute Form W-9)
Under the Interest and Dividend Tax Compliance Act of 1983, we are required to
have the following certification: Under the penalties of perjury, I certify
that:
     (1)  The number shown above is my correct Taxpayer Identification Number
          (or I am waiting for a number to be issued to me), AND
     (2)  I am not subject to backup withholding because (a) I am exempt from
          backup withholding, or (b) I have not been notified by the Internal
          Revenue Service that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of
          a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS has
          notified me that I am no longer subject to backup withholding.
You must cross out item 2 above if you have been notified by the IRS that you

property, contributions to an individual retirement arrangement (IRA), and

Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code.

PURPOSE OF FORM. -- A person who is required to file an information return with
the IRS must get your correct TIN to report income paid to you, real estate
transactions, mortgage interest you paid, the acquisition or abandonment of
secured property, cancellation of debt or contributions you made to an IRA. Use
Form W-9 to give your correct TIN to the requester (the person requesting your
TIN) and when applicable, (1) to certify the TIN you are giving is correct (or
you are waiting for a number to be issued), (2) to certify you are not subject
to backup withholding, or (3) to claim exemption from backup withholding if you
are an exempt payee. Giving your correct TIN and making the appropriate
certifications will prevent certain payments from being subject to backup
withholding.

Note: If a requester gives you a form other than a W-9 to request your TIN, you
must use the requester's form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

WHAT IS BACKUP WITHHOLDING? - Persons making certain payments to you must
withhold and pay to the IRS 31% of such payments under certain conditions. This
is called "backup withholding." Payments that could be subject to backup
withholding include interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange
transactions, rents royalties, nonemployee pay, and certain payments from
fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup
withholding.

If you give the requester the correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and
report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return, your payments
will not be subject to backup withholding. Payments you receive will be subject
to backup withholding if:

     1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester, or

     2. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN, or

     3. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you
did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for
reportable interest and dividends only), or

     4. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup
withholding under 3 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened
after 1983 only), or

     5. You do not certify your TIN. See the Part III instructions for
exceptions.

     Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding and
information reporting. See the Part II instructions and the separate
instructions for the Requester of Form W-9.

HOW TO GET A TIN. -- If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To
apply, get FORM SS-5, Application for a Social Security Number Card (for
individuals), from your local office of the Social Security Administration, or
FORM SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number (for business and all
other entities), from your local IRS office.

     If you do not have a TIN, write "Applied For" in the space for the TIN in
Part I, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. Generally, you
will then have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester. If the
requester does not receive your TIN within 60 days, backup withholding, if
applicable, will begin and continue until you furnish your TIN.

NOTE: Writing "Applied For" on the form means that you have already applied for
a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

As soon as you receive your TIN, complete another Form W-9, include your TIN,
sign and date the form, and give it to the requester.

PENALTIES

FAILURE TO FURNISH TIN. -- If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a
requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your
failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

CIVIL PENALTY FOR FALSE INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO WITHHOLDING. -- If you make
a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup
withholding, you are subject to $500 penalty.

CRIMINAL PENALTY FOR FALSIFYING INFORMATION. -- Willfully falsifying
certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including
fines and/or imprisonment.

MISUSE OF TINs. -- If the requesters discloses or uses TINs in violation of
Federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

NAME. -- If you are individual, you must generally enter the name shown on your
social security card. However, if you have changed your last name, for instance,
due to marriage, without informing the Social Security Administration of the
name change, please enter your first name, the last name shown on your social
security card, and your new last name.

SOLE PROPRIETOR. -- You must enter your individual name. (Enter either your SSN
or EIN in Part 1.) You may enter your business name or "doing business as" name
on the business name line. Enter your name as shown on your social security card
and business name as it was used to apply for your EIN on Form SS-4.

PART I -- TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (TIN)

You must enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a sole proprietor,
you may enter your SSN or EIN. Also see the chart on this page for further
clarification of name and TIN combinations. If you do not have a TIN, follow the
instructions under How to Get a TIN on page 1.

PART II -- FOR PAYEES EXEMPT FROM BACKUP WITHHOLDING

Individuals (including sole proprietors) are not exempt from backup withholding.
Corporations are exempt from backup withholding for certain payments, such as
interest and dividends. For a complete list of exempt payees, see the separate
instructions for the Requester of Form W-9.

If you are exempt from backup withholding, you should still complete this form
to avoid possible erroneous backup withholding. Enter your correct TIN in Part
I, write "Exempt" in Part II, and sign and date the form. If you are a
nonresident alien or a foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, give
the requester a completed Form W-8, Certificate of Foreign Status.

PART III -- CERTIFICATION

For a joint account, only the person whose TIN is shown in Part I should sign.

     1. INTEREST, DIVIDEND, AND BARTER EXCHANGE ACCOUNTS OPENED BEFORE 1984 AND
BROKER ACCOUNTS CONSIDERED ACTIVE DURING 1983. You must give your correct TIN,
but you do not have to sign the certification.

     2. INTEREST, DIVIDEND, BROKER, AND BARTER EXCHANGE ACCOUNTS OPENED AFTER
1983 AND BROKER ACCOUNTS CONSIDERED INACTIVE DURING 1983. You must sign the
certification or backup withholding will apply. If you are subject to backup
withholding and you are merely providing your correct TIN to the requester, you
must cross out item 2 in the certification before signing the form.

     3. REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS. You must sign the certification. You may cross
out item 2 of the certification.

     4. OTHER PAYMENTS. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to
sign the certification unless you have been notified of an incorrect TIN. Other
payments include payments made in the course of the requester's payments made in
the course of the requester's trade or business for rents, royalties, goods
(other than bills for merchandise), medical and health care services, payments
to a nonemployee for services (including attorney and accounting fees), and
payments to certain fishing boat crew members.

     5. MORTGAGE INTEREST PAID BY YOU, ACQUISITION OR ABANDONMENT OF SECURED
PROPERTY, CANCELLATION OF DEBT, OR IRA CONTRIBUTIONS. You must give your correct
TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification.

PRIVACY ACT NOTICE

Section 6109 requires you to give your correct TIN to persons who must file
information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, and certain
other income paid to you, mortgage interest you paid, the acquisition or
abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made
to an IRA. The IRS uses the numbers for identification purposes and to help
verify the accuracy of your tax return. You must provide your TIN whether or not
you are required to file a tax return. Payers must generally withhold 31% of
taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not
give a TIN to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.
