erroneous backup withholding. CHECK THE BOX ON THE FACE OF THE FORM IN PART 2,
SIGN AND DATE THE FORM, AND RETURN IT TO THE PAYER.
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 regulations under Sections 6041, 6041A(a),
6042, 6044, 6045, 6049, 6050A, AND 6050N.
PRIVACY ACT NOTICE -- Section 6109 requires most recipients of dividend,
interest, or other payments to give their correct 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
returns. Payers must be given the numbers whether or not recipients are required
to file tax returns. Payers must generally withhold a certain percentage
(currently 30%) 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 taxpayer identification number 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.
(2) Civil 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. Wilfully falsifying
certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including
fines and/or imprisonment.
(4) Misuse of Taxpayer Identification Numbers. If the requester discloses or
uses taxpayer identification numbers in violation of federal law, the requester
may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

SERVICE.
