DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH ABOVE WILL NOT CONSTITUTE A VALID DELIVERY. THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL NEED NOT BE COMPLETED BY HOLDERS TENDERING NOTES BY ATOP (AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED).

The instructions contained herein should be read carefully before this Letter of Transmittal is completed. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 7, 2014 (as it may be amended or supplemented, the “Offer to Purchase”).

Questions and requests for assistance relating to the procedures for tendering Notes and requests for additional copies of the Offer to Purchase and this Letter of Transmittal may be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation, as the information agent for the Offer (the “Information Agent”), at its address and telephone numbers listed on the back cover of this Letter of Transmittal. Questions regarding the Offer may also be directed to Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”) at its address and telephone number listed on the back cover of this Letter of Transmittal.

This Letter of Transmittal and the instructions hereto (as it may be amended or supplemented, this “Letter of Transmittal”), the Offer to Purchase (together with this Letter of Transmittal, as they may be amended or supplemented , the “Offer Documents”) constitute an offer (the “Offer”) by Group 1 Automotive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to purchase any and all outstanding Notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer Documents. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, holders of Notes who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the Expiration Date, and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of such Notes, a cash purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to the sum of:

be given that this dividend will be declared or paid or that the amount of any such dividend will equal the amount used for the purposes of making the estimated antidilution adjustment. As a result, the Purchase Price will not be further adjusted at any time during the Offer for any dividends declared and/or paid on our common stock during the Offer. In addition to the Purchase Price, holders will receive in respect of their Notes that are accepted for purchase accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding, the settlement date of the Offer. All amounts payable pursuant to the Offer will be rounded to the nearest cent. For further information regarding the calculation of the Purchase Price, see “The Offer—Principal Amount of Notes; Price” in the Offer to Purchase.

The Company will announce the final Purchase Price no later than 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, and the final Purchase Price will also be available by that time at http://www.gbsc-usa.com/GPI and from the Information Agent. If the Purchase Price will equal the maximum Purchase Price of $2,545.19, then the Offer will be automatically extended until 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on the second trading day following the Expiration Date to permit holders of Notes to tender or withdraw their Notes during those days.

Only Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the Expiration Date will be purchased in the Offer. The Company’s obligation to purchase Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer is not subject to any minimum tender condition. However, the Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the Financing Condition and the General Conditions described under “The Offer—Conditions of the Offer” in the Offer to Purchase.

Notes may be tendered only in denominations of $1,000 principal amount or integral multiples thereof. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted.

All of the Notes are held in book-entry form, and are currently represented by one or more global certificates held for the account of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

This Letter of Transmittal may be used by a DTC participant whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of the Notes (each, a “Holder” and, collectively, the “Holders”) who desires to tender such Notes pursuant to the Offer. Pursuant to authority granted by DTC, if you are a DTC participant who has Notes credited to your DTC account, you may directly tender your Notes in the Offer as though you were a registered holder of the Notes. DTC participants that wish to accept the Offer may tender their Notes by (i) validly transmitting their acceptance to DTC through DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) or (ii) completing, signing and dating this Letter of Transmittal according to the instructions set forth in the Offer Documents, delivering this Letter of Transmittal, together with any signature guarantees and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, to the Depositary at its address listed on the first page of this Letter of Transmittal, and ensuring that the Depositary receives, prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the Expiration Date, a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of Notes into the Depositary’s account at DTC according to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below.

To tender Notes effectively, DTC participants may until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, in lieu of physically completing and signing this Letter of Transmittal and delivering it to the Depositary, electronically transmit their acceptance through ATOP, and DTC will then verify the acceptance, execute a book-entry delivery to the Depositary’s account at DTC and send an Agent’s Message to the Depositary for its acceptance. The confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the Depositary’s account at DTC as described above is referred to herein as a “Book-Entry Confirmation.” Delivery of documents to DTC does not constitute delivery to the Depositary. The term “Agent’s Message” means a message transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the Depositary and forming a part of the Book-Entry Confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the DTC participant described in such Agent’s Message, stating that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Offer as set forth in the Offer Documents, and that the Company may enforce such agreement against such participant.

To tender Notes effectively after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, but prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the Expiration Date, DTC participants may complete and sign a Voluntary Offering Instructions form and deliver it via facsimile to the Depositary at the number shown on the

back cover of this Letter of Transmittal. The Voluntary Offering Instructions form is available at http://www.gbsc-usa.com/GPI and is filed as an exhibit to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Immediately after delivering the Voluntary Offering Instructions form, a DTC participant should telephone the Depositary at the telephone number shown on the back cover of this Letter of Transmittal to confirm receipt and determine if any further action is required.

If your Notes are held of record through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender your Notes after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, you must make arrangements with your nominee for such nominee to fax a Voluntary Offering Instructions form to the Depositary at its number on the first page of this Letter of Transmittal on your behalf prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the Expiration Date, in accordance with the procedures described under “The Offer—Procedures for Tendering the Notes” in the Offer to Purchase.

If any validly tendered Notes are not purchased because the Offer is not completed, such Notes will be returned without cost to the tendering holder promptly after the earlier of the termination or expiration of the Offer by book-entry delivery through DTC to the accounts of the Holders.

The Offer is made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer Documents. Holders should carefully review such information.

If you hold your Notes through a broker dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you should contact such nominee promptly and instruct it to tender Notes on your behalf. The instructions included with this Letter of Transmittal must be followed.

Holders who wish to tender their Notes using this Letter of Transmittal must complete the box below entitled “Method of Delivery” and complete the box below entitled “Description of Notes Tendered” and sign in the appropriate box below.

NONE OF THE COMPANY’S MANAGEMENT, ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE DEALER MANAGER, THE DEPOSITARY OR THE INFORMATION AGENT MAKES ANY RECOMMENDATION TO ANY HOLDER OF NOTES AS TO WHETHER TO TENDER ANY NOTES. NONE OF THE COMPANY’S MANAGEMENT, ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE DEALER MANAGER, THE DEPOSITARY OR THE INFORMATION AGENT HAS AUTHORIZED ANY PERSON TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION OR TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFER OTHER THAN THE INFORMATION AND REPRESENTATIONS CONTAINED IN THE OFFER TO PURCHASE OR IN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. IF ANYONE MAKES ANY RECOMMENDATION OR REPRESENTATION OR GIVES ANY SUCH INFORMATION, YOU SHOULD NOT RELY UPON THAT RECOMMENDATION, REPRESENTATION OR INFORMATION AS HAVING BEEN AUTHORIZED BY THE COMPANY’S MANAGEMENT, ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE DEALER MANAGER, THE DEPOSITARY OR THE INFORMATION AGENT.

THE COMPANY IS NOT PROVIDING FOR PROCEDURES FOR TENDERS OF NOTES TO BE MADE BY GUARANTEED DELIVERY. ACCORDINGLY, HOLDERS MUST ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR THE NECESSARY TENDER PROCEDURES TO BE COMPLETED DURING THE NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS OF DTC ON OR PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE. IF YOU HOLD YOUR NOTES THROUGH A BROKER, DEALER, COMMERCIAL BANK, TRUST COMPANY OR OTHER NOMINEE, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THAT SUCH ENTITY MAY REQUIRE YOU TO TAKE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE OFFER A NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE IN ORDER FOR SUCH ENTITY TO TENDER NOTES ON YOUR BEHALF ON OR PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE. TENDERS NOT COMPLETED PRIOR TO 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY TIME, AT THE END OF THE EXPIRATION DATE WILL BE DISREGARDED AND OF NO EFFECT.

The names and addresses of the Holders should be printed exactly as they appear on a security position listing showing such participant as the owner of the Notes. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. If you do not wish to tender your Notes, you do not need to return this Letter of Transmittal or take any other action

By execution hereof, the undersigned acknowledges receipt of this Letter of Transmittal (this “Letter of Transmittal”) and the Offer to Purchase, dated May 7, 2014 (as amended or supplemented, the “Offer to Purchase” and together with this Letter of Transmittal, as amended or supplemented, the “Offer Documents”), constituting an offer (the “Offer”) by Group 1 Automotive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to purchase any and all outstanding Notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer Documents. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, holders of Notes who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the Expiration Date, will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of such Notes, a cash purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to the sum of:

provided that in no event will the Purchase Price be less than $1,621.12 or more than $2,545.19 per $1,000 principal amount of such Notes. The calculation of the Purchase Price gives effect to an estimated antidilution adjustment in respect of a dividend the Company expects to pay during the period of the Offer. No assurance can be given that this dividend will be declared or paid or that the amount of any such dividend will equal the amount used for the purposes of making the estimated antidilution adjustment. As a result, the Purchase Price will not be further adjusted at any time during the Offer for any dividends declared and/or paid on our common stock during the Offer. In addition to the Purchase Price, holders will receive in respect of their Notes that are accepted for purchase accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding, the settlement date of the Offer. All amounts payable pursuant to the Offer will be rounded to the nearest cent.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the undersigned hereby tenders to the Company the principal amount of Notes indicated above in the box captioned “Description of Notes Tendered.”

Subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for purchase of, and payment for, the principal amount of Notes tendered with this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns, transfers and delivers to, or upon the order of, the Company, all right, title and interest in and to such Notes that are being tendered hereby, waives any and all other rights with respect to such Notes, and releases and discharges the Company from any and all claims such Holder may now have, or may have in the future, arising out of, or related to, such Notes, including, without limitation, any claims arising from any existing or past defaults, or any claims that such Holder is entitled to receive additional principal, interest or other payments or distributions of any kind with respect to such Notes (other than any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the settlement date of the Offer (the “Accrued Interest”)) or to participate in any redemption, repurchase or conversion of such Notes, in each case other than pursuant to the undersigned’s rights under the express terms of the Offer.

The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Depositary as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned (with full knowledge that the Depositary also acts as the agent of the Company) with respect to the Notes tendered hereby, with full powers of substitution and revocation (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), to (i) present such Notes and all evidences of transfer and authenticity to, or transfer ownership of such Notes on the account books maintained by DTC and the registrar to, or upon the order of, the Company, (ii) present such Notes for transfer of ownership on the books of the Company and the trustee for the Notes, (iii) to receive payment for such Notes accepted for purchase in the Offer and (iv) receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Notes, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer as described in the Offer Documents.

The undersigned understands and acknowledges that the Offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of Tuesday, June 24, 2014, unless the Offer is extended or earlier terminated by the

Company (such date, as it may be extended, the “Expiration Date”) . The undersigned understands and acknowledges that, in order to receive the Purchase Price offered for the Notes, the undersigned must have validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) Notes at or prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the Expiration Date. The undersigned understands and acknowledges that the undersigned may withdraw any Notes tendered at any time prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the Expiration Date and, if such Notes have not been previously accepted for purchase, following 40 business days after the commencement of the Offer.

Unless otherwise indicated herein under “Special Payment Instructions,” the undersigned hereby requests that checks for payment of the Purchase Price for validly tendered and accepted Notes and any Accrued Interest to be issued in connection with the Offer be issued to the order of the undersigned. Similarly, unless otherwise indicated herein under “Special Delivery Instructions,” the undersigned hereby requests that any Notes representing principal amounts not accepted for purchase be credited to such DTC participant’s account. In the event that the “Special Payment Instructions” box or the “Special Delivery Instructions” box is, or both are, completed, the undersigned hereby requests that any Notes representing principal amounts not accepted for purchase be credited to the account of, and checks for payment of the Purchase Price for validly tendered and accepted Notes and any Accrued Interest be issued in the name(s) of and be delivered to, the person(s) at the addresses so indicated, as applicable.

The undersigned recognizes that the Company has no obligation pursuant to the “Special Payment Instructions” box or “Special Delivery Instructions” box to transfer any Notes from the name of the Holder(s) thereof if the Company does not accept for purchase any of the principal amount of such Notes so tendered.

Tenders of Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the Expiration Date and, if such Notes have not been previously accepted for purchase, following 40 business days after the commencement of the Offer.

For a withdrawal of a tender of Notes to be effective, a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be received by the Depositary prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the Expiration Date and, if such Notes have not been previously accepted for purchase, following 40 business days after the commencement of the Offer, by mail, fax or hand delivery at its address or facsimile number listed on the back cover of this Letter of Transmittal or by a properly transmitted “Request Message” through ATOP. Any such notice of withdrawal must (a) specify the name of the person who tendered the Notes to be withdrawn and the name of the DTC participant whose name appears on the security position listing as the owner of such Notes, if different from that of the person who deposited the Notes, (b) contain the aggregate principal amount represented by the Notes to be withdrawn and the number of the DTC account to be credited with the withdrawn Notes, (c) unless transmitted through ATOP, be signed by the Holder thereof in the same manner as the original signature on this Letter of Transmittal, including any required signature guarantee(s), and (d) if this Letter of Transmittal was executed by a person other than the DTC participant whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of Notes, be accompanied by a properly completed irrevocable proxy that authorizes such person to effect such withdrawal on behalf of such Holder.

The undersigned understands that tenders of Notes pursuant to any of the procedures described in the Offer Documents and acceptance thereof by the Company will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, which agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants the following:

The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Depositary or the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the tender, sale, assignment, transfer and delivery of the Notes tendered thereby.

For purposes of the Offer, the undersigned understands that the Company will be deemed to have accepted for purchase validly tendered Notes, or defectively tendered Notes with respect to which the Company has waived all defects, if, as and when the Company gives notice thereof to the Depositary.

The undersigned understands that, except as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, the Company will not be required to accept for purchase any of the Notes tendered.

All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by this Letter of Transmittal shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and every obligation of the undersigned under this Letter of Transmittal shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, personal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, assigns, trustees in bankruptcy and other legal representatives.

The undersigned understands that the delivery and surrender of the Notes is not effective, and the risk of loss of the Notes does not pass to the Depositary, until receipt by the Depositary of (1) timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer of such Notes into the Depositary’s account at DTC pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Offer to Purchase, (2) a properly transmitted Agent’s Message through ATOP or a properly completed, signed and dated Letter of Transmittal and (3) all accompanying evidences of authority and any other required documents in form satisfactory to the Company.

1. Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal and Book-Entry Confirmations; Withdrawal of Tenders. This Letter of Transmittal is to be used by each Holder to tender Notes through book-entry transfer to the Depositary’s account at DTC, if instructions are not being transferred through ATOP. The method of delivery of this Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents to the Depositary is at the election and risk of Holders, and delivery will be deemed made when actually received or confirmed by the Depositary. If such delivery is by mail, it is suggested that Holders use properly insured registered mail with return receipt requested, and that the mailing be made sufficiently in advance of the Expiration Date to permit delivery to the Depositary at or prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the Expiration Date. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders of the Notes will be accepted. This Letter of Transmittal should be sent only to the Depositary. Delivery of documents to DTC, the Dealer Manager or the Company does not constitute delivery to the Depositary.

All of the Notes were issued in book-entry form, and all of the Notes are currently represented by one or more global certificates held for the account of DTC. The Depositary and DTC have confirmed that Notes held in book-entry form through DTC that are to be tendered in the Offer are eligible for ATOP. To effectively tender Notes, DTC participants may until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, in lieu of physically completing and signing this Letter of Transmittal and delivering it to the Depositary, electronically transmit their acceptance through ATOP, and DTC will then verify the acceptance, execute a book-entry delivery to the Depositary’s account at DTC and send an Agent’s Message to the Depositary for its acceptance. The confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the Depositary’s account at DTC as described above is referred to herein as a “Book-Entry Confirmation”. Delivery of documents to DTC does not constitute delivery to the Depositary. The term “Agent’s Message” means a message transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the Depositary and forming a part of the Book-Entry Confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the DTC participant described in such Agent’s Message, stating that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Offer as set forth in the Offer Documents, and that the Company may enforce such agreement against such participant.

Holders desiring to tender Notes on the Expiration Date through ATOP should note that such Holders must allow sufficient time for completion of the ATOP procedures during the normal business hours of DTC. To effectively tender Notes after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, but at or before 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the Expiration Date, DTC participants may complete and sign a Voluntary Offering Instructions form and deliver it via facsimile to the Depositary at the number shown on the back cover of this Letter of Transmittal. The Voluntary Offering Instructions form is available at http://www.gbsc-usa.com/GPI and is filed as an exhibit to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Immediately after delivering the Voluntary Offering Instructions form, a DTC participant should telephone the Depositary at the telephone number shown on the back cover of this Letter of Transmittal to confirm receipt and determine if any further action is required.

If your Notes are held of record through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender your Notes after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, you must make arrangements with your nominee for such nominee to fax a Voluntary Offering Instructions form to the Depositary at its number on the back cover of this Letter of Transmittal on your behalf prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the Expiration Date, in accordance with the procedures described under “The Offer— Procedures for Tendering the Notes” in the Offer to Purchase.

All tendering Holders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal or a Voluntary Offering Instructions form or a facsimile hereof or thereof, or transmission of an Agent’s Message through ATOP, waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance for purchase of their Notes.

For a withdrawal of a tender of Notes to be effective, a written or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be received by the Depositary prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on the Expiration Date and, if such Notes have not been previously accepted for purchase, following 40 business days after the commencement of the Offer, by mail, fax or hand delivery at its address or facsimile number listed on the back cover of this Letter of Transmittal or by a properly transmitted “Request Message” through ATOP. Any such notice of withdrawal must (a) specify the name of the person who tendered the Notes to be withdrawn and the name of the DTC participant whose name appears on the security position listing as the owner of such Notes, if different from that of the person who deposited the Notes, (b) contain the aggregate principal amount represented by the Notes to be withdrawn and the number of the DTC account to be credited with the withdrawn Notes, (c) unless transmitted through ATOP, be signed by the Holder thereof in the same manner as the original signature on this Letter of Transmittal, including any required signature guarantee(s), and (d) if this Letter of Transmittal was executed by a person other than the DTC participant whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of Notes, be accompanied by a properly completed irrevocable proxy that authorizes such person to effect such withdrawal on behalf of such Holder.

2. Denominations of Tenders; Alternative, Conditional or Contingent Tenders. Notes may be tendered only in denominations of $1,000 principal amount or integral multiples thereof. Alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will not be considered valid.

3. Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal; Guarantee of Signatures. This Letter of Transmittal must be signed by the DTC participant whose name is shown as the owner of the Notes tendered hereby and the signature must correspond with the name shown on the security position listing as the owner of the Notes.

If any of the Notes tendered hereby are registered in the name of two or more Holders, all such Holders must sign this Letter of Transmittal. If any Notes tendered hereby are registered in different names, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate copies of this Letter of Transmittal and any necessary accompanying documents as there are different names.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Depositary of such person’s authority so to act must be submitted with this Letter of Transmittal.

All signatures on this Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by a recognized participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the NYSE Medallion Signature Program or the Stock Exchange Medallion Program (each, a “Medallion Signature Guarantor”) unless the Notes tendered or withdrawn, as the case may be, pursuant thereto are tendered (1) by the DTC participant whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of the Notes who has not completed the box entitled Special Payment Instructions or Special Delivery Instructions on this Letter of Transmittal or (2) for the account of a member firm of a registered national securities exchange, a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank, trust company or other nominee having an office or correspondent in the United States. If Notes are registered in the name of a person other than the signatory of this Letter of Transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, or if delivery of the Purchase Price is to be made or tendered, or Notes that are not accepted are to be returned, to a person other than the holder, then the signature on this Letter of Transmittal accompanying the tendered Notes must be guaranteed by a Medallion Signature Guarantor as described above.

4. Special Payment and Special Delivery Instructions. Tendering Holders should indicate in the applicable box or boxes the name, address and account to which Notes not accepted for purchase or checks for payment of the Purchase Price for validly tendered and accepted Notes and any Accrued Interest that are to be issued in connection with the Offer are to be credited, issued or delivered, as applicable, if different from the name, address or account of the Holder signing this Letter of Transmittal. In the case checks are issued to a

different name, the taxpayer identification number or social security number (“TIN”) of the person named must also be indicated and satisfactory evidence of the payment of transfer taxes or exemption therefrom must be submitted. If no instructions are given (a) checks for payment of the Purchase Price and any Accrued Interest to be issued in connection with the Offer will be issued to and (b) Notes not tendered or not accepted for purchase will be credited back to, such DTC participant’s account. The Company has no obligation pursuant to the “Special Payment Instructions” box or “Special Delivery Instructions” box to transfer any Notes from the name of the Holder(s) thereof if the Company does not accept for purchase any of such Notes or if the Holder(s) does not present satisfactory evidence of payment of any taxes that may be payable as a consequence of the payment or delivery requested by the Holder(s) completing the “Special Payment Instructions” and/or “Special Delivery Instructions” boxes.

5. IRS Form W-9; Form W-8. Each tendering Holder must either (i) provide the applicable withholding agent with a correct TIN, generally the Holder’s social security or employer identification number, and with certain other information, on IRS Form W-9, which is provided herein, and certify, under penalties of perjury, that such TIN is correct, such Holder is not subject to backup withholding and such Holder is a United States person or (ii) establish another basis for exemption from backup withholding. Certain Holders (including, among others, certain foreign persons) are not subject to backup withholding and reporting requirements. See the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for additional instructions. A foreign person (including a foreign corporation) may qualify as an exempt recipient by submitting to the applicable withholding agent a properly completed applicable IRS Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that Holder’s exempt status. An applicable Form W-8 can be obtained from the IRS’s website (http://www.irs.gov) or requested from the Information Agent.

6 Transfer Taxes. The Company will pay all transfer taxes applicable to the purchase of Notes pursuant to the Offer, except if payment of the Purchase Price and Accrued Interest is being made to, or if Notes not accepted for payment are registered in the name of, any person other than the holder of Notes tendered thereby or Notes are credited in the name of any person other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal or electronically transmitting acceptance through ATOP, as applicable; then, in such event, delivery and payment shall not be made unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is submitted.

7. Irregularities. All questions as to the form of all documents and the validity (including time of receipt) and acceptance of all tenders and withdrawals of tenders of Notes will be determined by the Company. In the event of a dispute, a court of competent jurisdiction has the power to review and make binding determinations with respect to the Company’s determinations of these matters. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders or withdrawals of Notes that are not in proper form or the acceptance of which would, in the Company’s opinion, be unlawful. The Company also reserves the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender or withdrawal as to particular Notes. A waiver of any defect or irregularity with respect to the tender or withdrawal of any Note shall not constitute a waiver of the same or any other defect or irregularity with respect to the tender or withdrawal of any other Notes except to the extent the Company may otherwise so provide. Tenders of Notes shall not be deemed to have been made until all defects or irregularities have been waived by the Company or cured. None of the Company, the Dealer Manager, the Depositary, the Information Agent or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity in any tender or withdrawal of Notes, or will incur any liability to any Holder for failure to give any such notification.

8. Waiver of Conditions. The Company expressly reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to amend or waive any of the conditions to the Offer in the case of any Notes tendered, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time.

9. Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies. Questions and requests for assistance relating to the procedures for tendering Notes and requests for additional copies of the Offer to Purchase and this Letter of Transmittal may be directed to the Information Agent at the address and telephone numbers listed on the back cover of this Letter of Transmittal. Questions regarding the Offer may also be directed to the Dealer Manager at the address and telephone number listed on the back cover of this Letter of Transmittal.

Under U.S. federal income tax law, a Holder whose tendered Notes are accepted for payment is generally required to provide the applicable withholding agent with such Holder’s correct TIN on IRS Form W-9 below or otherwise establish a basis for exemption from backup withholding. A TIN is generally an individual Holder’s social security number or a Holder’s employer identification number. If the applicable withholding agent is not provided with the correct TIN, the Holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS. More serious penalties may be imposed for providing false information, which, if willfully done, may result in fines and/or imprisonment. In addition, any payment made to a Holder with respect to Notes purchased pursuant to the Offer may be subject to U.S. backup withholding tax. If a Holder is required to provide a TIN but does not have the TIN, the Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding how to obtain a TIN. If the applicable withholding agent is not provided with a required TIN by such Holder by the time of the payment the U.S. backup withholding tax may apply.

The Holder may be required to give the applicable withholding agent the TIN of the record owner of the Notes. If the Notes are registered in more than one name or are not registered in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for additional guidance on which number to report.

U.S. backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Certain Holders (including, among others, certain foreign persons) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. Foreign Holders must establish their status as exempt recipients from backup withholding and can do so by submitting to the applicable withholding agent a properly completed applicable IRS Form W-8 (available from the Information Agent), signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to such Holder’s exempt foreign status.

The amount received by a Non-U.S. Holder pursuant to the Offer that is attributable to accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes is subject to 30% U.S. federal withholding tax unless the Non-U.S. Holder has provided a properly certified applicable IRS Form W-8.

Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine whether they are exempt from backup withholding or other withholding taxes.

For a discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Offer, see “Purpose, Effects and Plans—Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the Offer to Purchase.

Certification instructions. You must cross out item 2 above if you have been notified by the IRS that you are currently subject to backup withholding because you have failed to report all interest and dividends on your tax return. For real estate transactions, item 2 does not apply. For mortgage interest paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, contributions to an individual retirement arrangement (IRA), and generally, payments other than interest and dividends, you are not required to sign the certification, but you must provide your correct TIN. See the instructions on page 3.

A person who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) to report, for example, income paid to you, payments made to you in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, real estate transactions, mortgage interest you paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA.

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN to the person requesting it (the requester) and, when applicable, to:

1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income, and

4. Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct.

Note. If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

— An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,

— A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States,

— An estate (other than a foreign estate), or

— A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section 1446 on any foreign partners’ share of effectively connected taxable income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the section 1446 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 Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income.

In the cases below, the following person must give Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States:

— In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the entity,

— In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the trust, and

— In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items:

1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income.

3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233.

What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS a percentage of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,

2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the Part II instructions on page 3 for details),

3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,

4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See Exempt payee code on page 3 and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

Also see Special rules for partnerships on page 1.

What is FATCA reporting? The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all United States account holders that are specified United States persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code on page 3 and the Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

Updating Your Information

You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account, for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.

Penalties

Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

Specific Instructions

Name

If you are an individual, you must generally enter the name shown on your income tax return. However, if you have changed your last name, for instance, due to marriage without informing the Social Security Administration of the name change, enter your first name, the last name shown on your social security card, and your new last name.

If the account is in joint names, list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of the form.

Sole proprietor. Enter your individual name as shown on your income tax return on the “Name” line. You may enter your business, trade, or “doing business as (DBA)” name on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line.

Partnership, C Corporation, or S Corporation. Enter the entity’s name on the “Name” line and any business, trade, or “doing business as (DBA) name” on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line.

Disregarded entity. For U.S. federal tax purposes, an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner is treated as a “disregarded entity.” See Regulation section 301.7701-2(c)(2)(iii). Enter the owner’s name on the “Name” line. The name of the entity entered on the “Name” line should never be a disregarded entity. The name on the “Name” line must be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income should be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a single owner that is a U.S. person, the U.S. owner’s name is required to be provided on the “Name” line. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity’s name on the

“Business name/disregarded entity name” line. If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9. This is the case even if the foreign person has a U.S. TIN.

Note. Check the appropriate box for the U.S. federal tax classification of the person whose name is entered on the “Name” line (Individual/sole proprietor, Partnership, C Corporation, S Corporation, Trust/estate).

Limited Liability Company (LLC). If the person identified on the “Name” line is an LLC, check the “Limited liability company” box only and enter the appropriate code for the U.S. federal tax classification in the space provided. If you are an LLC that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes, enter “P” for partnership. If you are an LLC that has filed a Form 8832 or a Form 2553 to be taxed as a corporation, enter “C” for C corporation or “S” for S corporation, as appropriate. If you are an LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner under Regulation section 301.7701-3 (except for employment and excise tax), do not check the LLC box unless the owner of the LLC (required to be identified on the “Name” line) is another LLC that is not disregarded for U.S. federal tax purposes. If the LLC is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the appropriate tax classification of the owner identified on the “Name” line.

Other entities. Enter your business name as shown on required U.S. federal tax documents on the “Name” line. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line.

Exemptions

If you are exempt from backup withholding and/or FATCA reporting, enter in the Exemptions box, any code(s) that may apply to you. See Exempt payee code and Exemption from FATCA reporting code on page 3.

Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN. However, the IRS prefers that you use your SSN.

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner (see Limited Liability Company (LLC) on page 2), enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.

Note. See the chart on page 4 for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local Social Security Administration office or get this form online at www.ssa.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. You can get Forms W-7 and SS-4 from the IRS by visiting IRS.gov or by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676).

If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, apply for a TIN and write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

Note. Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

Caution: A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

Part II. Certification

To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9. You may be requested to sign by the withholding agent even if items 1, 4, or 5 below indicate otherwise.

For a joint account, only the person whose TIN is shown in Part I should sign (when required). In the case of a disregarded entity, the person identified on the “Name” line must sign. Exempt payees, see Exempt payee code earlier.

Signature requirements. Complete the certification as indicated in items 1 through 5 below.

1. Interest, dividend, and barter exchange accounts opened before 1984 and broker accounts considered active during 1983. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification.

2. Interest, dividend, broker, and barter exchange accounts opened after 1983 and broker accounts considered inactive during 1983. You must sign the certification or backup withholding will apply. If you are subject to backup withholding and you are merely providing your correct TIN to the requester, you must cross out item 2 in the certification before signing the form.

3. Real estate transactions. You must sign the certification. You may cross out item 2 of the certification.

4. Other payments. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification unless you have been notified that you have previously given an incorrect TIN. “Other payments” include payments made in the course of the requester’s trade or business for rents, royalties, goods (other than bills for merchandise), medical and health care services (including payments to corporations), payments to a nonemployee for services, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, payments to certain fishing boat crew members and fishermen, and gross proceeds paid to attorneys (including payments to corporations).

5. Mortgage interest paid by you, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, qualified tuition program payments (under section 529), IRA, Coverdell ESA, Archer MSA or HSA contributions or distributions, and pension distributions. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification.

Secure Your Tax Records from Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, social security number (SSN), or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

To reduce your risk:

— Protect your SSN,

— Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and

— Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.

If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter.

If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.

For more information, see Publication 4535, Identity Theft Prevention and Victim Assistance.

Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a system problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059.

Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes. Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.

The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts.

If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to phishing@irs.gov. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1-800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at: spam@uce.gov or contact them at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338).

Visit IRS.gov to learn more about identity theft and how to reduce your risk.

Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code requires you to provide your correct TIN to persons (including federal agencies) who are required to file information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, or certain other income paid to you; mortgage interest you paid; the acquisition or abandonment of secured property; the cancellation of debt; or contributions you made to an IRA, Archer MSA, or HSA. The person collecting this form uses the information on the form to file information returns with the IRS, reporting the above information. Routine uses of this information include giving it to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation and to cities, states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths and possessions for use in administering their laws. The information also may be disclosed to other countries under a treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce civil and criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism. You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Under section 3406, payers must generally withhold a percentage of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to the payer. Certain penalties may also apply for providing false or fraudulent information.
