We assign the CIK at the time you make an initial application. You may not change this code. The CIK is a public number. • CIK Confirmation Code (CCC)—You will use the CCC in the header of your filings in conjunction with your CIK to ensure that you authorized the filing. • Password (PW)—The PW allows you to log onto the EDGAR system, submit filings, and change your CCC. • Password Modification Authorization Code (PMAC)—The PMAC allows you to change your password. An applicant must file this Form in electronic format via the Commission’s EDGAR Filer Management website. Please see Regulation S-T (17 CFR Part 232) and the EDGAR Filer Manual for instructions on how to file electronically, including how to use the access codes. The applicant must complete the Form ID electronic filing by also submitting to the Commission a copy of a notarized paper “authenticating” document. The authenticating document must include the information required to be included in the Form ID filing, be manually signed by the applicant over the applicant’s typed signature, and confirm the authenticity of the Form ID filing. Applicants may fulfill the authenticating document requirement by making a copy of the applicant’s electronic Form ID filing, adding the necessary confirming language, signing it, and having the signature notarized. If the applicant has prepared the authenticating document before making its electronic Form ID filing, it may submit the document as an uploaded Portable Document Format (PDF) attachment to the electronic filing. An applicant also may submit the authenticating document by faxing it to the Commission at (202) 504-2474 or (703) 914-4240 within two business days before or after its electronic Form ID filing. If submitted by fax after the electronic Form ID filing, the authenticating document must contain the accession number assigned to the electronic Form ID filing. If the fax is not received timely, the Form ID filing and application for access codes will not be processed, and the applicant will receive an e-mail message at the contact e-mail address included in the Form ID filing informing the applicant of the failure to process and providing further guidance. The message will state why the application was not processed. For assistance with technical questions about electronic filing, call Filer Support at (202) 551-8900. For assistance with questions about the EDGAR rules, Division of Corporation Finance filers may call the Office of Information Technology at (202) 551-3600; and Division of Investment Management filers may call the IM EDGAR Inquiry Line at (202) 551-6989. You must complete all items in any parts that apply to you. If any item in any part does not apply to you, please leave it blank. 3 American LegalNet, Inc. www.FormsWorkFlow.com PART I—APPLICANT INFORMATION (To be completed by all applicants) Provide the applicant’s name in English.

PART II—FILER INFORMATION (To be completed only by filers that are not individuals) The filer’s tax or federal identification number is the number issued by the Internal Revenue Service. This section does not apply to individuals. Accordingly, do not enter a Social Security number. If an investment company filer is organized as a series company, the investment company may use the tax or federal identification number of any one of its constituent series. Issuers that have applied for but not yet received their tax or federal identification number and foreign issuers that do not have a tax or federal identification number must include all zeroes. A “foreign issuer” is an entity so defined by Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) Rule 405 (17 CFR 230.405) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) Rule 3b-4(b) (17 CFR 240.3b-4(b)). Foreign issuers should include their country of organization. A foreign issuer filer must provide its “doing business as” name in the language of the name under which it does business and must provide its foreign language name, if any, in the space so marked. If the filer’s fiscal year does not end on the same date each year (e.g., falls on the last Saturday in December), the filer must enter the date the current fiscal year will end. PART III—CONTACT INFORMATION (To be completed by all applicants) In this section, identify the individual who should receive the access codes and other EDGAR-related information. Please include an e-mail address that will become your default notification address for EDGAR filings; it will be stored in the Company Contact Information on the EDGAR Database.

For information on including additional e-mail addresses on a per filing basis, refer to Volume 1, Section 3.2.2 of the EDGAR Filer Manual. PART IV—ACCOUNT INFORMATION (To be completed by filers and filing agents only) Identify in this section the individual who should receive account information and/or billing invoices from us.

PART V—SIGNATURE (To be completed by all applicants) If the applicant is a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, state the capacity in which the representative individual, who must be duly authorized, signs the Form on behalf of the applicant. If the applicant is an individual, the applicant must sign the Form. If another person signs on behalf of the representative individual or the individual applicant, confirm the authority of the other person to sign in writing in an electronic attachment to the Form. The confirming statement need only indicate that the representative individual or individual applicant authorizes and designates the named person or persons to file the Form on behalf of the applicant and state the duration of the authorization. 5 American LegalNet, Inc. www.FormsWorkFlow.com
