This information is intended to be a qualified notice under
Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b). Under rules applicable to
publicly-traded partnerships, our distributions to non-U.S.
unitholders are subject to withholding tax at the highest effective
applicable rate to the extent attributable to income that is
effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business.
Given the uncertainty at the time of making distributions regarding
the amount of any distribution that is attributable to income that
is so effectively connected, we intend to treat all of our
distributions as attributable to our U.S. operations, and as a
result, the entire distribution will be subject to withholding.
