Purchaser.

assignment, transfer and purchase of such Units.

exempt from backup withholding, has not been notified by the Internal Revenue
Service (the "IRS") that Seller is subject to backup withholding as a result of
a failure to report all interest or dividends, or the IRS has notified Seller
that Seller is no longer subject to backup withholding. Seller hereby also
certifies, under penalties of perjury, that Seller, if an individual, is not a
nonresident alien for purposes of U.S. income taxation, and if not an
individual, is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or
foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and
Income Tax Regulations). Seller understands that this certification may be
disclosed to the IRS by the Purchaser and that any false statements contained
herein could be punished by fine or imprisonment.
Upon completion and recording of the Transfer, the Purchaser accepts all of
the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement, as amended. The Seller
requests that the Purchaser become a substitute limited partner of the
Partnership. The Seller also hereby separately instructs the Partnership and its
General Partner to immediately change the address of Seller's account to the
Purchaser's address. Seller agrees that the Partnership and its General Partner
shall have no liability to Seller for immediately making the address change or
for transferring the Units under this Letter of Transmittal.
All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of
receipt) and acceptance of a Letter of Transmittal will be determined by the
Purchaser, and such determinations will be final and binding. The Purchaser's
interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer (including this Letter
of Transmittal) will also be final and binding. The Purchaser will have the
right to waive any defects or conditions as to the manner of tendering. Any
defects in connection with tenders, unless waived, must be cured within such
time as the Purchaser will determine. This Letter of Transmittal will not be
valid until all defects have been cured or waived.
