The type of documentation required by the Investor is a function of whether the Investor is a
Foreign Person or a United States person. "Foreign Persons" include nonresident aliens, foreign
corporations, foreign partnerships, foreign trusts or foreign estates (as each of those terms is
defined in the Code and Treasury Regulations). "United States person" has the meaning set forth
in EXHIBIT A. In the case of entities that are disregarded for purposes of U.S. tax law (e.g.,
fiscally transparent entities with a single owner that have not elected to be taxed as a corporation
for U.S. tax purposes), such entities are treated as United States persons or Foreign Persons
depending on the residence and status of their owners, rather than on where the disregarded
entities are organized. Thus, an investor that is a U.S. disregarded entity with a foreign owner
will generally be treated as a Foreign Person and should complete and submit the appropriate
Form W-8 (as discussed below) based on the owner's status. An investor that is a foreign
disregarded entity with a U.S. owner will generally be treated as a United States person and
should complete and submit Form W-9 (as discussed below).
If the Investor is a United States person, please complete IRS Form W-9 (provided with
instructions as EXHIBIT B hereto). Such Investor agrees to notify the General Partner within sixty
(60) days if the Investor ceases to be a United States person.
If the Investor is a Foreign Person, please complete either Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, Form W-
8ECI, Form W-8EXP or Form W-8IMY (along with any accompanying withholding certificates,
if appropriate), in accordance with the instructions provided below and the printed instructions
included with the appropriate form. Each of these forms and their instructions is included as part
of EXHIBIT C hereto. These forms must be updated and provided again to the General Partner in
certain circumstances, as described in the printed instructions provided with each form.
The following summary guidelines are provided for the benefit of those Foreign Persons required
to provide Form W-8. In addition to the information provided herein, please refer to the printed
instructions included in EXHIBIT C hereto for more detailed guidelines.
(a) The following Foreign Persons should complete and provide Form W-8EXP:
