one hyphen: i.e. 00-0000000. The table below will help determine the number to
give the payer.

If you are a foreign person not subject to backup withholding, file with payer a
completed IRS Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for
United States Tax Withholding).

Certain payments other than interest, dividends, and patronage dividends that
are not subject to information reporting are also not subject to backup
withholding. For details, see the sections 6041, 6041A(a), 6042, 6044, 6045,
6049, 6050A and 6050N and the regulations thereunder.

PRIVACY ACT NOTICE

Section 6109 requires most recipients of dividend, interest, or other payments
to give taxpayer identification numbers to payers who must report the payments
to the IRS. The IRS uses the numbers for identification purposes and to help
verify the accuracy of tax reforms. Payers must be given the numbers whether or
not recipients are required to file tax returns. Payers must generally withhold
31% of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who
does not furnish a taxpayer identification number to a payer. Certain penalties
may also apply.

PENALTIES

(1) Penalty for Failure to Furnish Taxpayer Identification Number. If you fail
to furnish your correct taxpayer identification number to a payer, 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.
(2) Penalty  for  False  Information  With Respect to Withholding. If you make a
false  statement  with  no  reasonable  basis  which results in no imposition of
backup withholding, you are subject to a penalty of $500.
(3) Criminal   Penalty   for   Falsifying   Information.   Willfully  falsifying
certifications  or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties, including
fines and/or imprisonment.

SERVICE.
