nonresident alien for purposes of U.S. income taxation, and if not an

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.
