NAME AND TAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (TIN)

PART I

INDIVIDUALS: Enter First and Last name EXACTLY as it appears on your Social Security Card. However, if you have changed your last
name, for instance, due to marriage, without informing the Social Security Administration of the name change, please enter your first name
and both the last name shown on your social security card and your new last name (IN THAT ORDER). For your TIN, enter your Social
Security Number (SSN).

SOLE PROPRIETORSHIPS: Enter the owner’s name on the first line; on the second name line you may enter the business name. YOU
MAY NOT ENTER ONLY THE BUSINESS NAME. For the TIN, enter both the owner’s Social Security Number and the Federal Employer Tax
Identification Number (EIN) if you are required to have one.

ALL OTHER ENTITIES: Enter the name of the owner of the EIN or SSN exactly as originally registered with the IRS. The correct TIN is
the Employer Identification Number (EIN).

DO NOT ENTER AN SSN OR EIN THAT WAS NOT ASSIGNED TO THE
LEGAL NAME OF THIS FORM

HOW TO OBTAIN A TIN

If you do not have a TIN, you should apply for one immediately. To apply for the number, obtain Form SS-05, Application for a Social Security Number
Card (for individuals), or Form SS-4, Application of Employer Identification number (for businesses and all other entities), at your local office of the Social
Security Administration or the Internal Revenue Service. Complete and file the appropriate form according to its instructions.
To complete Form W-9 if you do not have a TIN, check “Applied For” box in the space indicated on the front, sign and date the form, and give it to the
requester. For payments that could be subject to backup withholding, you will then have 60 days to obtain a TIN and furnish it to the requester. During the
60-day period, the payments you receive will not be subject to the 31% backup withholding, unless you make a withdrawal. However, if the requester does
not receive your TIN from you within 60 days, backup withholding, if applicable, will begin and continue until you furnish your TIN to the requester.
NOTE: Writing “Applied For” on the form means that you have already applied for a TIN OR that you intend to apply for one in the near future.
As soon as you receive your TIN, complete another Form W-9, include your new TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester.

PART II

FOR PAYEES EXEMPT FROM BACKUP WITHHOLDING
Individuals (including sole proprietors) are not exempt from backup withholding. Corporations are exempt from backup withholding for
certain payments, such as interest and dividends.
If you are exempt from backup withholding, you should still complete this form to avoid possible erroneous backup withholding. Enter your
correct TIN in Part I, write ‘Exempt’ in Part II and sign and date the form.
If you are a nonresident alien or foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, give the requester a completed Form W-8, Certificate of
Foreign Status.

information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, and certain other income paid to you, mortgage interest you paid, the

not furnish a TIN to a payer. Certain other penalties may also apply.
