THIS FORM IS REQUIRED BY LAW and must be filed separately by each person
which, by reason of a merger, consolidation or acquisition, is subject to §7A of the
Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. §18a, as added by Section 201 of the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, Pub. L. No. 94-435, 90 Stat. 1390, and rules
promulgated thereunder (hereinafter referred to as "the rules" or by section number).
The statute and rules are set forth in the Federal Register at 43 FR 33450; the rules
may also be found at 16 CFR Parts 801-03. Failure to file this Notification and
Report Form, and to observe the required waiting period before consummating the
acquisition in accordance with the applicable provisions of 15 U.S.C. §18a and the
rules, subjects any "person," as defined in the rules, or any individuals responsible for
noncompliance, to liability for a penalty of not more than $11,000 for each day during
which such person is in violation of 15 U.S.C. §18a.

Pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, information and documentary material filed in
or with this Form is confidential. It is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of
Information Act, and may be made public only in an administrative or judicial
proceeding, or disclosed to Congress or to a duly authorized committee or
subcommittee of Congress.

DISCLOSURE NOTICE - Public reporting burden for this report is estimated to vary
from 8 to 160 hours per response, with an average of 39 hours per response,
including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering
and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of
information. Send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of
this report, including suggestions for reducing this burden to:
Premerger Notification Office, H-303, Federal Trade Commission,
Washington, DC 20503 and
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget,
Washington, DC 20580

Privacy Act Statement--Section 18a(a) of Title 15 of the U.S. Code authorizes
the collection of this information. Our authority to collect Social Security
numbers is 31 U.S.C. 7701. The primary use of information submitted on this
Form is to determine whether the reported merger or acquisition may violate
the antitrust laws. Taxpayer information is collected, used, and may be shared
with other agencies and contractors for payment processing, debt collection
and reporting purposes. Furnishing the information on the Form is voluntary.
Consummation of an acquisition required to be reported by the statute cited
above without having provided this information may, however, render a person
liable to civil penalties up to $11,000 per day. We also may be unable to
process the Form unless you provide all of the requested information.

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, as amended, an agency may not conduct
or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. That
number is 3084-0005, which also appears in the upper right-hand corner of the
first page of this form.

FTC FORM C4 (rev. 06/06/06)
