of registering or qualifying the Units under the Act or any such
Blue Sky

pursuant to 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101. For example, a plan which is maintained by a
foreign corporation, governmental entity or church, a Xxxxx plan covering no
common-law employees and an individual retirement account are employee benefit
plans within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA but generally are not subject
to ERISA (collectively, “Non-ERISA

pension or welfare plans (including an entity which is deemed to hold the assets
of any such plan), would be deemed to hold the assets of one or more employee
benefit plans pursuant to 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101. However, if only Non-ERISA
Plans were invested in such an entity, the entity generally would not be subject
to ERISA. For purposes of determining whether this 25% threshold has been met
or
exceeded, the value of any equity interest held by a person (other than such
a
plan or entity) who has discretionary authority or control with respect to
the
assets of the entity, or any person who provides investment advice for a fee
(direct or indirect) with respect to such assets, or any affiliate of such
a
person, is disregarded.
