STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">M/I Homes, Inc. is one of the nation&#146;s leading builders of single-family homes. We commenced homebuilding activities in 1976 and, since that time, we have delivered over 78,000 homes. We construct
and sell single-family homes, attached townhomes and condominiums to first-time, move-up, empty-nester and luxury buyers, with a particular focus on first-time and value-focused buyers, under the M/I Homes trade name. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We have homebuilding operations in the following geographic markets: Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana; Chicago,
Illinois; Tampa and Orlando, Florida; Houston, Texas; Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina; and the Virginia and Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. We are the leading homebuilder in the Columbus, Ohio market, and we believe we are one of the top
ten builders in each of our other markets, based on the number of homes delivered in 2010, except for Houston, which we entered into in 2010. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our financial reporting segments consist of the following: Midwest homebuilding; Southern homebuilding; Mid-Atlantic homebuilding; and financial services. Our homebuilding operations comprise the most
substantial part of our business, representing 98% of our consolidated revenue for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2010. We support our homebuilding operations by providing mortgage banking services to our homebuyers through our wholly-owned
subsidiary, M/I Financial Corp. (&#147;M/I Financial&#148;), and title services through subsidiaries that are either wholly- or majority-owned by us. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We currently offer homes for sale in 110 communities within ten markets located in nine states. We offer a variety of home styles at base prices ranging from approximately $85,000 to $1,300,000, with an
average sales price in 2010, including options, of $247,000. Offering homes at a variety of price points allows us to attract a wide range of buyers. We believe that we distinguish ourselves from competitors by offering homes in select areas with a
high level of design and construction quality within a given price range, and by providing customers with the confidence they can only get from superior customer service. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

documents governing our other indebtedness, if there is an amount outstanding and we are not able to repay such amount from other sources. If this happens and we are unable to obtain waivers from the required lenders, the lenders could exercise
their rights under such documents, including forcing us into bankruptcy or liquidation. Also, while the aggregate commitment of the Credit Facility is $140 million, we can only borrow up to the amount we have secured by real estate and/or cash in

subsidiary guarantor is declared bankrupt, becomes insolvent or is liquidated or reorganized, creditors whose debt is secured by assets of the Company or the subsidiary guarantors will be entitled to the remedies available to secured holders under
applicable laws, including the foreclosure of the collateral securing such debt, before any payment may be made with respect to the notes or the affected guarantees. As a result, there may be insufficient assets to pay amounts due on the notes, and
holders of the notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of our secured indebtedness. As of December&nbsp;31, 2010, we had approximately $5.9 million of secured indebtedness outstanding and approximately $23.5 million of available borrowings
with respect to secured indebtedness, in each case excluding issuances of letters of credit and excluding the MIF Credit Agreement and the MIF Mortgage Repurchase Agreement. We can create additional borrowing availability under the Credit Facility
to the extent we pledge additional assets. Borrowing availability under the Credit Facility can also be increased by increasing investments in assets currently pledged, but this is offset by the collateral value of homes delivered that are within

years leading up to and including 2006 reduced housing affordability relative to consumer incomes and tempered buyer demand. Also since the downturn began, investors and speculators reduced their purchasing activity and instead accelerated their
efforts to sell residential property they had previously acquired. These trends, which have been more pronounced in markets that had experienced the greatest levels of price appreciation, have resulted in fewer overall home sales, greater
cancellations of home purchase agreements by buyers, higher inventories of unsold homes and the increased use by homebuilders, speculators, investors and others of discounts, incentives, price concessions and other marketing efforts to close home
sales in the years following 2006. These negative supply and demand trends have been exacerbated since 2008 by increasing sales of lender-owned homes, a severe downturn in general economic conditions, unemployment, turmoil in credit and consumer

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Since 2008, the residential consumer mortgage lending and mortgage finance industries have experienced significant instability due to,
among other things, relatively high rates of delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures on residential consumer mortgage loans and a resulting decline in their market value and the market value of securities backed by such loans. The delinquencies,
defaults and foreclosures have been driven in part by persistent poor economic and employment conditions, which have negatively affected borrowers&#146; incomes, and by a decline in the values of many existing homes in various markets below the
principal balance of the residential consumer mortgage loans secured by such homes. A number of providers, purchasers and insurers of residential consumer mortgage loans and residential consumer mortgage-backed securities have gone out of business
or exited the market, and lenders, investors, regulators and others have questioned the oversight and the adequacy of lending standards for several residential consumer mortgage loan programs made available to borrowers in recent years, including
programs offered or supported by the Federal Housing Administration (the &#147;FHA&#148;), the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (the &#147;VA&#148;) and the federal government sponsored enterprises, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Compared to prior
periods, this has led to reduced investor demand for residential consumer mortgage loans and residential consumer mortgage-backed securities, tightened credit requirements, reduced liquidity and availability of residential consumer mortgage loan
products (particularly subprime and nonconforming loans), and increased down payment requirements and credit risk premiums related to home purchases. It has also led to enhanced regulatory and legislative actions, and government programs focused on
modifying the principal balances, interest rates and/or payment terms of existing residential consumer mortgage loans and preventing residential consumer mortgage loan foreclosures, which have achieved somewhat mixed results. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The reduction in the availability of residential consumer mortgage loan products and providers and tighter residential consumer mortgage
loan qualifications and down payment requirements have made it more difficult for some categories of borrowers to finance the purchase of our homes or the purchase of existing homes from potential move-up buyers who wish to purchase one of our
homes. Overall, these factors have slowed any general improvement in the housing market, and they have resulted in volatile home purchase cancellation rates and reduced demand for our homes and for residential consumer mortgage loans originated
through our M/I Financial subsidiary. These reductions in demand have had a materially adverse effect on our business and results of operations in 2010 that may continue in 2011. </FONT></P>

requirements (including risk retention obligations) relating to the origination, securitizing and servicing of, and consumer disclosures for, residential consumer mortgage loans. These new
standards and requirements are expected to further reduce the availability of and/or increase the costs to borrowers to obtain such loans. Federal regulators and legislators are also discussing steps that may significantly reduce the ability or
authority of the FHA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to purchase or insure residential consumer mortgage loans. In the last few years, the FHA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have purchased or insured substantially all new residential consumer mortgage
loans originated by lenders. Also in 2010, and as noted above, investors in residential consumer mortgage-backed securities, as well as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, increasingly demanded that lenders, brokers and other institutions, or their agents,
repurchase the loans underlying the securities based on alleged breaches of underwriting standards or of representations and warranties made in connection with transferring the loans. These &#147;put-back&#148; demands are expected to continue into
2011 and, to the extent successful, could cause lenders and brokers to further curtail their residential consumer mortgage loan origination activities due to reduced liquidity. Concerns about the soundness of the residential consumer mortgage
lending and mortgage finance industries have also been heightened recently due to allegedly widespread errors by lenders or brokers, or their agents, in the processing of residential consumer mortgage loan foreclosures and sales of foreclosed homes,
leading to voluntary or involuntary delays and higher costs to finalize foreclosures and foreclosed home sales, and greater court and regulatory scrutiny. In addition to having a potential negative impact on the origination of new residential
consumer mortgage loans, these disruptions in residential consumer mortgage loan foreclosures and lender-owned home sales may make it more difficult for us to accurately assess the supply of and prevailing prices for unsold homes and/or the overall
stability of particular housing markets. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Many of our homebuyers obtain financing for their home purchases from our M/I

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Actions taken to execute our business strategy have helped to narrow our pre-tax loss from
operations and net losses and improve our operating margins in 2010 compared to the corresponding year-earlier periods. However, there can be no assurance that these trends will continue in 2011 or at all, that we will successfully increase our
average active community count and inventory base with desirable land assets at a reasonable cost, or that we will achieve or maintain profitability in the near future. In addition, notwithstanding our sales strategies, we have experienced
volatility in our new contracts and in cancellations of home purchase contracts by buyers throughout the present housing downturn, including in 2010. We believe that our volatile new contract and cancellation levels have largely reflected weak
homebuyer confidence due to sustained home sales price declines, increased offerings of sales incentives in the marketplace for both new and existing homes, tightened residential consumer mortgage lending standards, and generally poor economic and
employment conditions, all of which have prompted homebuyers to forgo or delay home purchases. Additional volatility arose in 2010 with the April&nbsp;30, 2010 expiration of the federal homebuyer tax credit, which likely pulled demand forward into
the first two quarters of the year and led to a drop in new contracts and customer traffic in the periods that followed. The relatively tight consumer mortgage lending environment and the inability of some homebuyers to sell their existing homes
have also led to lower demand for new homes and to volatility in home purchase contract cancellations for us and the homebuilding industry. Many of these factors affecting our new contracts and cancellation rates, and the related market dynamics
that put downward pressure on our average selling prices, are beyond our control. It is uncertain how long and to what degree these factors, and the volatility in new contracts and home cancellations we have experienced, will continue. To the extent
that these factors continue, and to the extent that they depress our average selling prices, we expect that they will have a negative effect on our business and our results of operations. </FONT></P>

confidence, consumer income, the availability of financing and interest rate levels. The mortgage lending industry has experienced and may continue to experience significant challenges. As a result of increased default rates, particularly (but not
entirely) with regard to sub-prime and other non-conforming loans, many lenders have reduced their willingness to make, and tightened their credit requirements with regard to, residential mortgage loans. Fewer loan products and stricter loan
qualification standards have made it more difficult for some borrowers to finance the purchase of our homes. Although our financial services subsidiary offers mortgage loans to potential buyers of most of the homes we build, we may no longer be able
to offer financing terms that are attractive to our potential buyers. Unavailability of mortgage financing at acceptable rates reduces demand for the homes we build, including, in some instances, causing potential buyers to cancel contracts they

the homebuilding industry prior to 2006, many homebuyers financed their purchases using non-traditional adjustable rate or interest only mortgages or other mortgages, including sub-prime mortgages, that involved, at least during initial years,
monthly payments that were significantly lower than those required by conventional fixed rate mortgages. As a result, new homes became more affordable. However, as monthly payments for these homes increased, either as a result of increasing
adjustable interest rates or as a result of principal payments coming due, some of these homebuyers defaulted on their payments and had their homes foreclosed, which increased the inventory of homes available for resale. Foreclosure sales and other
distress sales resulted in further declines in market prices for homes. In an environment of declining prices, many homebuyers may delay purchases of homes in anticipation of lower prices in the future. In addition, as lenders perceive deterioration
in credit quality among homebuyers, lenders have eliminated most of the non-traditional and sub-prime financing products previously available and increased the qualifications needed for mortgages or adjusting their terms to address increased credit

those homes being sold to homeowners. There are significant risks inherent in controlling or purchasing land, especially as the demand for new homes decreases. There is often a significant lag time between when we acquire land for development and
when we sell homes in neighborhoods we have planned, developed and constructed. The value of undeveloped land, building lots and housing inventories can fluctuate significantly as a result of changing market conditions. In addition, inventory
carrying costs can be significant, and fluctuations in value can result in reduced profits. Economic conditions could result in the necessity to sell homes or land at a loss, or hold land in inventory longer than planned, which could significantly
impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and stock performance. As a result of softened market conditions in all of our markets, since 2006, we have recorded an aggregate loss of $500.2 million for impairment of inventory
and investments in unconsolidated limited liability companies (including $63.5 million related to discontinued operation), and have written-off $18.2 million relating to abandoned land transactions (including $1.5 million related to discontinued
operation). It is possible that the estimated cash flows from these inventory positions may change and could result in a future need to record additional valuation adjustments. Additionally, if conditions in the homebuilding industry worsen in the
future, we may be required to evaluate additional inventory for potential impairment, which may result in additional valuation adjustments, which could be significant and could negatively impact our financial results and condition. We cannot make

consumer mortgage lending and mortgage finance industries since 2008, the federal government has taken on a significant role in supporting residential consumer mortgage lending through its conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, both of which
purchase or insure residential consumer mortgage loans and residential consumer mortgage-backed securities, and its insurance of residential consumer mortgage loans through the FHA and the VA. FHA-backing of residential consumer mortgage loans has
been particularly important to the residential consumer mortgage finance industry and to our business. In 2010, approximately 58% of our homebuyers (compared to approximately 62% in 2009)&nbsp;that chose to finance with our M/I Financial subsidiary
purchased a home using an FHA- or VA-backed loan. The availability and affordability of residential consumer mortgage loans, including interest rates for such loans, could be adversely affected by a scaling back or termination of the federal
government&#146;s mortgage-related programs or policies. For example, in October 2010, the FHA instituted higher mortgage insurance premiums to help address its low cash reserves and imposed new minimum credit scores and higher down payment
requirements for borrowers with lower credit scores for the residential consumer mortgage loans it insures. In addition, due to growing federal budget deficits, the U.S.&nbsp;Treasury may not be able to continue supporting the residential consumer
mortgage-related activities of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the FHA and the VA at present levels. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because Fannie Mae-, Freddie
Mac-, FHA- and VA-backed residential consumer mortgage loan financing is an important factor in marketing and selling many of our homes, any limitations or restrictions in the availability of such government-backed financing could reduce our home

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Under current U.S. tax law and policy, significant expenses of owning a home, including residential consumer mortgage loan interest costs and real estate taxes, generally are deductible expenses for the
purpose of calculating an individual&#146;s federal, and in some cases state, taxable income, subject to various limitations. If the federal government or a state government changes income tax laws, as some policy makers and a presidential
commission have proposed, by eliminating or substantially reducing these income tax benefits, the after-tax cost of owning a home could increase substantially. This could adversely impact demand for and/or sales prices of new homes. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Moreover, in early 2010, our home sales increased in part because of a federal homebuyer tax credit made available to certain qualifying

weak consumer confidence and unfavorable economic and employment conditions caused many potential homebuyers to delay or forgo the purchase of a home. It is uncertain whether and to what degree the higher demand driven by the federal homebuyer tax

was made available to qualifying homebuyers until April&nbsp;30, 2010. The increased demand driven by the federal homebuyer tax credit in early 2010 resulted in our delivering more homes in the third quarter of 2010 and experiencing lower new
contracts and higher cancellations in our third and fourth quarters, in each case compared to a more typical seasonal pattern. With the current difficult market conditions expected to continue into 2011, and the expiration of the federal homebuyer
tax credit, we can make no assurances that our historical seasonal patterns will return in the near future if at all. </FONT></P>

claims incurred but not yet reported. Because of the uncertainties inherent to these matters, we cannot provide assurance that our insurance coverage, our subcontractors&#146; arrangements and our reserves will be adequate to address all of our

constructed with defective imported drywall. Since the discovery of defective imported drywall, we implemented procedures in every division to investigate homes for signs of the presence of defective imported drywall. As of
December&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2010, we have identified approximately 90 homes that have been confirmed as having defective imported drywall installed by our subcontractors. All of these homes are located in Florida. We accrued $12.8 million for the repair
of these homes, of which $1.3 million remained at December&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2010. If we identify additional homes with defective imported drywall, we may increase the accrual for costs of repair attributable to defective imported drywall. During the
third quarter of 2010, we received a $2.4 million settlement for claims attributed to the defective imported drywall. We have made demand for additional reimbursement from manufacturers, suppliers, insurers and others for costs we have incurred and
may in the future incur in connection with the defective imported drywall; however, no additional recovery has been reflected in our financial statements. See the risk factor above captioned &#147;Our results of operations, financial condition and

administrative agent for the lenders. We have not included the definitions of certain defined terms contained in the Credit Agreement, and we urge you to refer to the Credit Agreement for the definitions of capitalized terms used in the following

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company entered into the Credit Facility on June&nbsp;9, 2010. The Credit Facility matures on June&nbsp;9, 2013. The Credit Facility provides revolving credit financing for the Company in the
aggregate commitment amount of up to $140 million (as determined by a borrowing base), including a $25 million sub-facility for letters of credit. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are at the Alternate Base Rate plus a margin of 350 basis points
or at the Eurodollar Rate plus a margin of 450 basis points, as described in the Credit Agreement. As of December&nbsp;31, 2010, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $0.2 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility,
and the Company had pledged $82.0 million in aggregate book value of inventory to secure those outstanding letters of credit and any borrowings that the Company may make in the future under the Credit Facility. </FONT></P>

the equity interests in the Guarantors owned by the Company and the Guarantors, and by certain real property in Ohio and North Carolina. The security documents impose certain restrictions on the transfer of the property that is subject to the lien
created thereby. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Availability under the Credit Facility is based on a borrowing base equal to 100% of cash, if any, pledged
as security plus 45% of the aggregate appraised value of the mortgaged real property. The borrowing base also includes certain limits on the percentage of real property in a single geographic market and on the percentage of real property consisting
of lots under development and unimproved land. As of December&nbsp;31, 2010, there was $23.5 million of availability under the Credit Facility in accordance with the borrowing base calculation. The Company can create additional borrowing
availability under the Credit Facility to the extent it pledges additional assets. The borrowing availability can also be increased by increasing investments in assets currently pledged, offset by decreases equal to the collateral value of homes
delivered that are within the pledged asset pool. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by

registration requirements of the Securities Act. In connection with the private placement, we entered into the registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers, pursuant to which we agreed to exchange the original notes for exchange notes
which we agreed to register under the Securities Act, and we also granted holders of the original notes rights under limited circumstances to have resales of their original notes registered under the Securities Act. </FONT></P>

does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to such holders in light of their personal circumstances. This discussion also does not address tax consequences to holders that may be subject to special tax rules,
including, without limitation, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, grantor trusts, tax-exempt organizations, partnerships and other pass-through entities, persons holding original notes or exchange
notes as part of a hedging, integrated, conversion or constructive sale transaction or a straddle, financial institutions, brokers, dealers in securities or currencies, traders that elect to mark-to-market their securities, persons that acquired
original notes in connection with employment or other performance of services, U.S. Holders (as defined below) that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, U.S. expatriates, controlled foreign corporations and passive foreign
investment companies. In addition, the discussion does not describe any tax consequences arising out of the tax laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction, or any U.S. federal tax considerations other than income taxation (such as estate or
gift taxation). Furthermore, the discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code, and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions thereunder, as of the date hereof, and such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified, perhaps
retroactively. The Company has not sought, and will not seek, any rulings from the Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;) regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take positions
concerning the tax consequences of the exchange of the original notes for the exchange notes and the ownership or disposition of the exchange notes that are different from those discussed below. </FONT></P>

exchange notes to some or all holders of the exchange notes that are in excess of the interest and principal of the exchange notes. Certain debt instruments that provide for one or more contingent payments are subject to U.S. Treasury regulations
governing contingent payment debt instruments. A payment is not treated as a contingent payment under these U.S. Treasury regulations if, as of the issue date of the debt instrument, the likelihood that such payment will be made is
&#147;remote&#148; or such contingency is considered &#147;incidental.&#148; The Company intends to take the position that the possibility that any such excess payment will be made is remote and/or incidental so that such possibility will not cause
the exchange notes to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments. The Company&#146;s determination that these contingencies are remote and/or incidental is binding on holders of exchange notes unless a holder discloses its contrary position
to the IRS in the manner that is required by applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. The Company&#146;s determination is not, however, binding on the IRS. It is possible that the IRS might take a different position from that described above, in which

with a U.S. trade or business conducted by the Non-U.S. Holder, then the income or gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis generally in the same manner as a U.S. Holder. If the Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for the

applicable. If the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, that portion of its earnings and profits, subject to adjustments, that is effectively connected with its U.S. trade or business may be subject to a &#147;branch profits tax.&#148; The branch
profits tax rate is generally 30%, although an applicable tax treaty might provide for a lower rate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:2%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Backup Withholding

exchange notes or proceeds from the sale or other disposition (including retirement or redemption) of the exchange notes received by a Non-U.S. Holder if the Non-U.S Holder has provided the Company, or the Company&#146;s paying agent, with an IRS
Form W-8BEN (or a suitable substitute form) directly or through an intermediary or otherwise establishes an exemption and the Company does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the holder is a U.S. person. However, interest paid to a
Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to information reporting requirements, even if no tax is required to be withheld from such payment. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. A Non-U.S. Holder subject to backup withholding may be allowed a credit
in the amount withheld against such Non-U.S. Holder&#146;s U.S. federal income tax liability and, if withholding results in an overpayment of tax, such Non-U.S. Holder may be entitled to a refund, provided that the requisite information is furnished

are or were serving at the request of the corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of another corporation or entity in circumstances where indemnification is not mandated by the statute if certain statutory
standards are satisfied. A corporation may grant indemnification in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, investigative or administrative, other than derivative actions, if the indemnitee acted in
good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Such indemnification is permitted against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) as well as judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection with the action, suit or proceeding.

transactions, mortgage interest you paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt or contributions you made to an individual retirement account. If you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), use Substitute Form
W-9 to give your correct TIN to the requester (the person requesting your TIN) and, when applicable, (1)&nbsp;to certify the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued), (2)&nbsp;to certify you are not subject to

to pay a withholding tax on any foreign partner&#146;s share of income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Substitute Form W-9 has not been received, a partnership is required to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay
the withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide a Substitute Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid withholding on
your share of partnership income. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The person who gives Substitute Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status

obtain Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, at the local office of the Social Security Administration or get this form on-line at <I><U>www.ssa.gov/online/ss-5.pdf</U></I>. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. You can
apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at <I><U>www.irs.gov/businesses</U></I> and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. Use IRS Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification
Number, to apply for an ITIN, or IRS Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can get IRS Forms W-7 and SS-4 from the IRS by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676) or from the IRS website at
<I><U>www.irs.gov</U></I>. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If you do not have a TIN, write &#147;Applied For&#148; in Part 1 of Substitute Form W-9, sign and date both the
form and the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number set forth therein, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, you will generally have
60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester. If the requester does not receive your TIN within 60 days, backup withholding, if applicable, will begin and continue until you furnish your TIN. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Note: Writing &#147;Applied For&#148; on the Substitute W-9 means that you have already applied for a TIN OR that you intend to apply for one soon. As
soon as you receive your TIN, complete another Substitute Form W-9, include your TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. </FONT></P>
