The following sections provide detailed information on the use of these websites for filing online

submissions.

8.1 EDGAR OnlineForms Management Website – Online Filing Preparation

It is easy to create and submit your filings through the EDGAR OnlineForms Management

website. Submission form types 3, 3/A, 4, 4/A, 5, 5/A, 144, 144/A, D, D/A, Schedule 13D, and

Schedule 13G are available for online preparation. The EDGAR OnlineForms Management

website software uses filer-provided information to prepare an XML tagged primary document

that can be verified and printed by the filer and then transmitted to EDGAR for processing. Once

EDGAR has accepted the submission it will disseminate the header in tagged SGML and the

primary document in tagged XML.

Note: Ownership Forms Only: You may create and submit only one form submission at a time.

If you are filing on behalf of a company's officers and directors you must create a

separate form for EACH officer and director.

8.1.1

Online Forms Data Gathering Model

Online submissions follow a basic model, with some distinctions dependent upon the submission

form type being filed.
