INSTRUCTIONS
Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Offer
1. Tender, Signature Requirements; Delivery. After carefully reading
and completing this Letter of Transmittal, in order to tender Units
a Unit holder must sign at the "X" on the bottom of the first page
of this Letter of Transmittal and insert the Unit holder's correct
Taxpayer Identification Number or Social Security Number ("TIN") in
the space provided below the signature. The signature must
correspond exactly with the name printed (or corrected) on the front
of this Letter of Transmittal without any change whatsoever. If this
Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered Unit holder of the
Units, a Medallion signature guarantee on this Letter of Transmittal
will be obtained for you by MPF. If Units are tendered for the
account of a member firm of a registered national security exchange,
a member firm of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. or a commercial bank, savings bank, credit union, savings and
loan association, or trust company having an office, branch or
agency in the United States (each an "Eligible Institution"), a
Medallion signature guarantee is also required. In all other cases,
signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be Medallion
guaranteed by an eligible institution, by completing the signature
guarantee set forth in BOX A of this Letter of Transmittal, but MPF
will do this for you. If any tendered Units are registered in the
names of two or more joint holders, all such holders must sign this
Letter of Transmittal. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by
trustees, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of
corporations, or others acting in a fiduciary or representative
capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing and must
submit proper evidence satisfactory to the Purchasers of their
authority to so act. For Units to be validly tendered, a properly
completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, together with any
required signature guarantees in BOX A, and any other documents
required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the
Depositary prior to or on the Expiration Date at its address or
facsimile number set forth on the front of this Letter of
Transmittal. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will
be accepted. All tendering Unit holders by execution of this Letter
of Transmittal waive any right to receive any notice of the
acceptance of their tender.
2. Transfer Taxes. The Purchasers will pay or cause to be paid all
transfer taxes, if any, payable in respect of Units accepted for
payment pursuant to the Offer.
3. U.S. Persons. A Unit holder who or which is a United States
citizen or resident alien individual, a domestic corporation, a
domestic partnership, a domestic trust, or a domestic estate
(collectively "United States persons") as those terms are defined in
the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations, should
complete the following:
Box B - Substitute Form W-9. In order to avoid 31% federal
income tax backup withholding, the Unit holder must provide
to the Purchasers the Unit holder's correct Taxpayer
Identification Number or Social Security Number ("TIN") in
the space provided below the signature line and certify,
under penalties of perjury, that such Unit holder is not
subject to such backup withholding. The TIN that must be
provided is that of the registered Unit holder indicated on
the front of this Letter of Transmittal. If a correct TIN is
not provided, penalties may be imposed by the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS"), in addition to the Unit holder
being subject to backup withholding. Certain Unit holders
(including, among others, all corporations) are not subject
to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an
additional tax. If withholding results in an overpayment of
taxes, a refund may be obtained from the IRS.
Box C - FIRPTA Affidavit. To avoid potential withholding of
tax pursuant to Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code,
each Unit holder who or which is a United States Person (as
defined Instruction 3 above) must certify, under penalties
of perjury, the Unit holder's TIN and address, and that the
Unit holder is not a foreign person. Tax withheld under
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code is not an
additional tax. If withholding results in an overpayment of
tax, a refund may be obtained from the IRS.
4. Foreign Persons. In order for a Unit holder who is a foreign
person (i.e., not a United States Person as defined in 3 above) to
qualify as exempt from 31% backup withholding, such foreign Unit
holder must certify, under penalties of perjury, the statement in
BOX D of this Letter of Transmittal attesting to that foreign
person's status by checking the box preceding such statement.
However, such person will be subject to withholding of tax under
Section 1445 of the Code.
5. Additional Copies of Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal.
Requests for assistance or additional copies of the Offer to
Purchase and this Letter of Transmittal may be obtained from the
