from among those Units tendered prior to or on the Expiration Date 9,838 Units
on a pro rata basis, with adjustments to avoid purchases of certain fractional

to, Purchasers all right, title, and interest in and to such Units which are

claim. Upon request, the undersigned will execute and deliver any additional
documents deemed by the Purchasers to be necessary or desirable to complete the

Transmittal for Units not accepted for payment will be destroyed by the
Purchasers. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall
survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and any obligations of the
undersigned shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives,
successors and assigns of the undersigned. Except as stated in the Offer to

submission to binding arbitration in Oakland, California before a retired judge,
and all parties agree to be subject to jurisdiction in California. If one party
suggests arbitrators, and the other party fails to respond within 20 days of
notice by the proposing party, the proposing party may select the arbitrator

arbitrator, the parties shall select an arbitrator pursuant to the rules of
JAMS. The arbitrator selected must follow applicable Federal securities laws and
California law and the rules of JAMS consistent herewith. The arbitrator must

decision as to each of the principal controverted issues. The arbitrator's
decision will be final and binding upon the parties. A judgment upon any award
may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall be
responsible for advancing one-half of the costs of arbitration; provided that
the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover expenses including but not
limited to attorney fees, arbitrator fees, and filing fees. Neither party is
waiving any rights under the federal securities laws, rules, or regulations. All

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 Purchasers by calling 800-854-8357.
