Certification Instructions - You must cross out item (2) in the paragraph above
if you have been notified by the IRS that you are subject to back-up withholding

Section 1445(e)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treas. Reg.1.1445-11T(d)
provide that a transferee of the U.S. real property interest must withhold tax
equal to 10% of the amount realized if the transferor is a foreign person. To
inform the Purchaser that withholding of tax is not required upon this
disposition of a U.S. real property interest, the undersigned hereby certifies
the following under penalties of perjury: (i) the unitholder, if an individual,
is a U.S. citizen or a resident alien for purposes of U.S. income taxation, and
if other than an individual, is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership,
foreign estate or foreign trust (as those terms are defined in the Internal
Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations); (ii) the unitholder's U.S. social
security number (for individuals) or employer identification number (for
non-individuals) is correct as furnished in the blank provided for that purpose
on the front of this Acknowledgment and Agreement; and (iii) the unitholder's
home address (for individuals), or office address (for non-individuals), is
correctly printed (or corrected) on the front of this Acknowledgment and
Agreement. The person signing this Acknowledgment and Agreement 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, imprisonment, or
both.
[ ] Please check this box if the withholding of tax is required because the
unitholder does not satisfy all of the above conditions.
================================================================================

In addition to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Signatory hereby irrevocably (i) requests and authorizes (subject to and
effective upon acceptance for payment of any Unit tendered hereby) the
Partnership and its general partners to take any and all actions as may be
required to effect the transfer of the Units to the Purchaser (or its designee)
and to admit the Purchaser as a substitute limited partner in the Partnership
under the terms of the certificate and agreement of partnership of the
Partnership; (ii) empowers the Purchaser and its agent to execute and deliver to
each general partner a change of address form instructing the general partner to
send any and all future distributions to the address specified in the form, and

representing a distribution to which the Purchaser is entitled pursuant to the
terms of the Offer, in each case in the name and on behalf of the tendering
unitholder; (iii) agrees not to exercise any rights pertaining to the Units
without the prior consent of the Purchaser; and (iv) requests and consents to
the transfer of the Units, to be effective on the books and records of the

In addition, the Signatory irrevocably constitutes and appoints the
Purchaser and any designees of the Purchaser as the true and lawful agent and
attorney-in-fact of the Signatory with respect to such Units, with full power of
substitution (such power of

withdraw any or all of such Units that have been previously tendered in response
to any tender or exchange offer provided that the price per unit being offered
by the Purchaser is equal to or higher than the price per unit being offered in
the other tender or exchange offer. This appointment is effective immediately
and shall continue to be effective unless and until such Units are withdrawn
from the offer by the Signatory prior to the expiration date (as defined in the
Offer to Purchase).
All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the
