Preliminary Instructions

The undersigned hereby acknowledges receipt of the prospectus dated October ___, 2007 (the “Prospectus”) of Equity One, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and the co-registrants listed on Annex A of the Prospectus (the “Co-Registrants”) and this Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which together constitute the Company’s offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange its outstanding original 6.00% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Outstanding Notes”) for new 6.00% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Exchange Notes”), that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal. For each Outstanding Note accepted for exchange, the holder of such Outstanding Note will receive an Exchange Note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered Outstanding Note. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Prospectus.

The form and terms of the Exchange Notes will be identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the Outstanding Notes, except that (i) the Exchange Notes will bear a different CUSIP Number from the Outstanding Notes, (ii) the issuance of the Exchange Notes has been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, the Exchange Notes will not bear legends restricting the transfer thereof and (iii) holders of the Exchange Notes will not be entitled to certain rights under a registration rights agreement among the Company, certain guarantors named therein and the initial purchasers of the Outstanding Notes, including the right to receive additional interest on the Outstanding Notes if the Company fails to satisfy certain obligations under the registration rights agreement.

This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by a holder of Outstanding Notes either if certificates for such Outstanding Notes are to be forwarded herewith or if a tender is to be made by book-entry transfer to the account maintained by the Exchange Agent at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) pursuant to the procedures set forth in “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering ” section of the Prospectus and an Agent’s Message is not delivered, or if guaranteed delivery procedures are being used. Notwithstanding the foregoing, valid acceptance of the terms of the Exchange Offer may be effectuated by a participant in DTC tendering notes through DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) where the Exchange Agent receives an Agent’s Message prior to the Expiration Date. Accordingly, such participant must electronically transmit its acceptance to DTC through ATOP, and then DTC will edit and verify the acceptance, execute a book-entry delivery to the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC and send an Agent’s Message to the Exchange Agent for its acceptance. By tendering through ATOP, participants in DTC will expressly acknowledge receipt of this Letter of Transmittal and agree to be bound by its terms and the Company will be able to enforce such agreement against DTC participants.

The Outstanding Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date, unless otherwise provided in the Prospectus. See the section of the Prospectus entitled “The Exchange Offer—Terms of the Exchange Offer, “—Procedures for Tendering” and “—Withdrawal of Tenders” for a more complete description of the tender and withdrawal provisions.

If a holder of Outstanding Notes desires to tender Outstanding Notes in the Exchange Offer, but such Outstanding Notes are not immediately available or time will not permit the holder’s Outstanding Notes, the Letter of Transmittal or any other required documents to reach the Exchange Agent (or such holder is unable to complete the procedure for book-entry transfer on a timely basis) prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, a tender may be effected in accordance with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “The Exchange Offer—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.”

The Exchange Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on ___, 2007. The Exchange Offer may be extended, delayed, terminated or amended as provided in the Prospectus. During any extension of the Expiration Date, all Outstanding Notes previously tendered and not withdrawn will remain subject to the Exchange Offer and may be accepted for exchange by the Company. The Exchange Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes being tendered or accepted for exchange. However, the Exchange Offer is subject to certain conditions. See “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” in the Prospectus.

The method of delivery of the Outstanding Notes, the Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents to the Exchange Agent is at the election and risk of the holder. The Company recommends holders use an overnight or courier service or, if such delivery is by mail, that registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested, be used. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure timely delivery. No Letters of Transmittal or Outstanding Notes should be sent to the Company.

Holders of Outstanding Notes should complete the appropriate boxes below and sign this Letter of Transmittal to indicate the action the holders desire to take with respect to the Exchange Offer.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the undersigned hereby tenders to the Company the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes indicated below. Subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for exchange of the Outstanding Notes tendered hereby, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Company all right, title and interest in and to such Outstanding Notes.

The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange Agent its agent and attorney-in-fact (with full knowledge that the Exchange Agent also acts as the agent of the Company) with respect to the Outstanding Notes with the full power of substitution to (i) deliver certificates for the Outstanding Notes to the Company and deliver all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity to, or upon the order of, the Company, (ii) present the Outstanding Notes for transfer on the books of the Company or any transfer agent therefor and (iii) receive for the account of the Company all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of the Outstanding Notes all in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer. The power of attorney granted in this paragraph shall be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Outstanding Notes and that the Company will acquire good and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim when the same are accepted by the Company. The undersigned further represents and warrants to the Company that (i) the information set forth below is correct, (ii) any Exchange Notes to be received by the undersigned and any beneficial owner in exchange for the Outstanding Notes will be acquired in the ordinary course of business of the undersigned and such beneficial owner, (iii) neither the undersigned nor any beneficial owner has any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes in violation of the Securities Act; and (iv) neither the undersigned nor any beneficial owner is an “affiliate” of the Company or the Co-Registrants within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

The undersigned agrees that acceptance of any Outstanding Notes by the Company and the issuance of Exchange Notes in exchange therefore will constitute performance in full by the Company of its obligations under the registration rights agreement and that the Company will have no further obligations or liabilities thereunder (except as expressly provided therein).

The undersigned and each beneficial owner also acknowledge as follows: The Exchange Offer is being made in reliance on existing interpretations of the Securities Act by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) set forth in several “no-action” letters. The Company has not, however, sought its own no-action letter. Based upon interpretations by the staff of the SEC, as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that the exchange notes issued in the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, so long as (i) the Exchange Notes are being acquired in the ordinary course of the holders’ business; (ii) such holders are not participating, do not intend to participate and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in a distribution of exchange notes; (iii) the holders are not an affiliate of the Company or the Co-Registrants; and (iv) the holders are not a broker or dealer that purchased original notes from the Company to resell them in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act or any other available exemption under the Securities Act. The undersigned and each beneficial owner acknowledge that the Company has not sought or received its own “no-action” letter with respect to the Exchange Offer and the related transactions and that there can be no assurance that the staff of the Commission will make a determination in the case of the Exchange Offer that is similar to its determinations in the above-mentioned “no-action” letters.

The undersigned understands and agrees that the Company reserves the right not to accept tendered Outstanding Notes from any tendering holder if the Company determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such acceptance could result in a violation of applicable securities laws.

The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees (i) that any person participating in the Exchange Offer for the purpose of distributing the Exchange Notes must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction of the Exchange Notes acquired by such person and cannot rely on the position of the staff of the Commission set forth in no-action letters and (ii) that a secondary resale transaction described in the preceding clause (i) should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security-holder information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act.

In addition, if the undersigned is not a broker-dealer, the undersigned represents that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of Exchange Notes, as defined in the Securities Act. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Outstanding Notes, it represents that the Outstanding Notes to be exchanged for Exchange Notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledges that it may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Further, if the undersigned is a broker-dealer, the undersigned represents that it did not purchase the Outstanding Notes to be exchanged for the Exchange Notes from the Company.

The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents and give any further assurances deemed by the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer to the Company of the Outstanding Notes tendered hereby. Except as provided in the Prospectus, all authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal and every obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned. This tender may be withdrawn only in accordance with the procedures set forth in the section of the Prospectus entitled “The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal of Tenders.”

For purposes of the Exchange Offer, the Company shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Outstanding Notes when, as and if the Company has given oral or written notice thereof to the Exchange Agent.

The undersigned understands that tenders of the Outstanding Notes pursuant to the procedures and instructions described in the Prospectus under “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering” and in this Letter of Transmittal will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Company in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Prospectus.

The undersigned recognizes that (i) under certain circumstances set forth in the Prospectus under “The Exchange Offer — Conditions to the Exchange Offer,” the Company will not be required to accept Outstanding Notes for exchange and (ii) the undersigned may withdraw its tender of Outstanding Notes only as set forth in the Prospectus under “The Exchange Offer — Withdrawal of Tenders.” Outstanding Notes not accepted for exchange or that have been withdrawn will be returned, without expense, to the undersigned as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Date.

The acknowledgments, representations, warranties and agreements of a holder tendering Outstanding Notes will be deemed to be repeated and reconfirmed on and as of the Expiration Date and the settlement date. For purposes of this Letter of Transmittal, the “beneficial owner” of any Outstanding Notes means any holder that exercises investment discretion with respect to those Outstanding Notes.

Unless otherwise indicated in the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” below, please issue certificates for the Exchange Notes (and, if applicable, substitute certificates representing Outstanding Notes not exchanged) in the name of the undersigned or, in the case of a book-entry delivery of Outstanding Notes, credit the account indicated below maintained at DTC. Similarly, unless otherwise indicated in the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” below, please send the certificates for the Exchange Notes (and, if applicable, substitute certificates representing Outstanding Notes for any Outstanding Notes not exchanged) to the undersigned at the address shown below in the box entitled “Description of Outstanding Notes.”

INSTRUCTIONS
Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Exchange Offer

1. Delivery of This Letter of Transmittal and Notes.

This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by holders of Outstanding Notes either if certificates are to be forwarded herewith or if tenders are to be made pursuant to the procedures for delivery by book-entry transfer set forth in the section of the Prospectus entitled “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering ” and an Agent’s Message is not delivered, or if guaranteed delivery procedures are being used. Notwithstanding the foregoing, valid acceptance of the terms of the Exchange Offer may be effectuated by a participant in DTC tendering notes through DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) where the Exchange Agent receives an Agent’s Message prior to the Expiration Date. Accordingly, such participant must electronically transmit its acceptance to DTC through ATOP, and then DTC will edit and verify the acceptance, execute a book-entry delivery to the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC and send an Agent’s Message to the Exchange Agent for its acceptance. The term “Agent’s Message” means a message, transmitted by DTC to and received by the Exchange Agent and forming a part of a Book-Entry Confirmation, that states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the tendering participant, which acknowledges that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by, and makes the representations and warranties contained in, this Letter of Transmittal and that the Company may enforce this Letter of Transmittal against such participant.

Certificates for all physically tendered Outstanding Notes, or Book-Entry Confirmation, as the case may be, as well as a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or manually signed facsimile hereof or Agent’s Message in lieu thereof) and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Exchange Agent at the address set forth herein prior to the Expiration Date. Outstanding Notes tendered hereby must be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of that minimum.

The method of delivery of the Outstanding Notes, the Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents to the Exchange Agent is at the election and risk of the holder, and the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received or confirmed by the Exchange Agent. The Company recommends that holders use an overnight or courier service or, if such delivery is by mail, that registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested, be used. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure timely delivery to the Exchange Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. See the section of the Prospectus entitled “The Exchange Offer.” No Letters of Transmittal or Outstanding Notes should be sent to the Company.

2. Partial Tenders (not applicable to holders who tender by book-entry transfer).

If less than all of the Outstanding Notes evidenced by a submitted certificate are to be tendered, the tendering holder(s) should fill in the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes to be tendered in the box above entitled “Description of Outstanding Notes—Principal Amount Tendered.” A reissued certificate representing the balance of non-tendered Outstanding Notes will be sent to such tendering holder, unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal, promptly after the Expiration Date. ALL OF THE OUTSTANDING NOTES DELIVERED TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN TENDERED UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED.

3. Signatures on This Letter of Transmittal; Bond Powers and Endorsements; Guarantee of Signatures.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the holder of the Outstanding Notes tendered hereby, the signature must correspond exactly with the name as written on the face of the certificates or on DTC’s security position listing as the holder of such Outstanding Notes without any change whatsoever. If any tendered Outstanding Notes are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all of such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal. If any tendered Outstanding Notes are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate copies of this Letter of Transmittal as there are different registrations of certificates.

When this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder or holders of the Outstanding Notes specified herein and tendered hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate bond powers are required if the boxes above entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” and “Special Delivery Instructions” do not apply. If, however, the Exchange Notes are to be

issued, or any untendered Outstanding Notes are to be reissued, to a person other than the registered holder, then endorsements of any certificates transmitted hereby or separate bond powers are required. Signatures on such certificate(s) must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (as defined below).

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder or holders of any certificate(s) specified herein, such certificate(s) must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate bond powers, in either case signed exactly as the name or names of the registered holder or holders appear(s) on the certificate(s) and signatures on such certificate(s) must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificates or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by the Company, proper evidence satisfactory to the Company of their authority to so act must be submitted.

ENDORSEMENTS ON CERTIFICATES FOR OUTSTANDING NOTES OR SIGNATURES ON BOND POWERS REQUIRED BY THIS INSTRUCTION 3 MUST BE GUARANTEED BY AN “ELIGIBLE INSTITUTION,” WHICH IS A MEMBER FIRM OF A REGISTERED NATIONAL SECURITIES EXCHANGE OR OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SECURITIES DEALERS, INC., A COMMERCIAL BANK OR TRUST COMPANY HAVING AN OFFICE OR CORRESPONDENT IN THE UNITED STATES, OR AN “ELIGIBLE GUARANTOR INSTITUTION” WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 17Ad-15 UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT, IN EACH CASE THAT IS A PARTICIPANT IN THE SECURITIES TRANSFER AGENTS MEDALLION PROGRAM, THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE MEDALLION SIGNATURE PROGRAM OR THE STOCK EXCHANGES MEDALLION PROGRAM.

SIGNATURES ON THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL NEED NOT BE GUARANTEED BY AN ELIGIBLE INSTITUTION, PROVIDED THE OUTSTANDING NOTES ARE TENDERED: (I) BY A REGISTERED HOLDER OF OUTSTANDING NOTES (WHICH TERM, FOR PURPOSES OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER, INCLUDES ANY PARTICIPANT IN DTC’S SYSTEM WHOSE NAME APPEARS ON A SECURITY POSITION LISTING AS THE HOLDER OF SUCH OUTSTANDING NOTES) WHO HAS NOT COMPLETED THE BOX ENTITLED “SPECIAL ISSUANCE INSTRUCTIONS” OR “SPECIAL DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS” ON THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, OR (II) FOR THE ACCOUNT OF AN ELIGIBLE INSTITUTION.

4. Special Issuance Instructions and Special Delivery Instructions.

Tendering holders of Outstanding Notes should indicate in the applicable box the name and address to which Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer and/or substitute certificates evidencing Outstanding Notes not exchanged are to be issued or sent, if different from the name or address of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal. In the case of issuance in a different name, the employer identification or social security number of the person named also must be indicated. Note holders tendering Outstanding Notes by book-entry transfer may request that Outstanding Notes not exchanged be credited to such account maintained at DTC as such note holder may designate hereon. If no such instructions are given, such Outstanding Notes not exchanged will be returned to the name and address of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal.

5. Taxpayer Identification Number and Backup Withholding.

Federal income tax law generally requires that a tendering holder whose Outstanding Notes are accepted for exchange provide the Exchange Agent (as payer) with such holder’s correct taxpayer identification number (a “TIN”), which, in the case of a holder who is an individual, is such holder’s Social Security number. If the Exchange Agent is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, such holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and backup withholding in an amount equal to 28% of the amount of any reportable payments made to such tendering holder. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained upon filing a timely income tax return.

To prevent backup withholding, each tendering holder that is a United States person (including a resident alien) must, unless an exemption applies, provide such holder’s correct TIN by completing the Form W-9 provided herewith,

certifying that the TIN provided is correct (or that such holder is awaiting a TIN) and that (i) the holder is exempt from backup withholding, (ii) the holder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that such holder is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends or (iii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the holder that such holder is no longer subject to backup withholding.

If the holder does not have a TIN, such holder should consult the enclosed instructions to Form W-9 (the “W-9 Instructions”) for instructions on applying for a TIN, write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN in Part 1 of the Form W-9 in accordance with the W-9 Instructions. If the holder does not provide such holder’s TIN to the Exchange Agent within 60 days, backup withholding will begin and continue until such holder furnishes such holder’s TIN to the Exchange Agent. NOTE: WRITING “APPLIED FOR” ON THE FORM MEANS THAT THE HOLDER HAS ALREADY APPLIED FOR A TIN OR THAT SUCH HOLDER INTENDS TO APPLY FOR ONE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

If the Outstanding Notes are held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the W-9 Instructions for information on which TIN to report.

Exempt holders (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt holder should check the appropriate box on Form W-9. See the W-9 Instructions for additional information. In order for a nonresident alien or foreign entity to qualify as exempt, such person must submit an appropriate Form W-8 signed under penalties of perjury attesting to such exempt status. Such form may be obtained from the Exchange Agent.

6. Transfer Taxes.

The Company will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of the Outstanding Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. If, however, Exchange Notes and/or certificates for Outstanding Notes not exchanged are to be delivered to, or are to be registered or issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of the Outstanding Notes tendered hereby, or if tendered Outstanding Notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this Letter of Transmittal, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Outstanding Notes in the Exchange Offer, the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted herewith, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder. The Exchange Agent will retain possession of Exchange Notes with a face amount at least equal to the amount of the transfer taxes due until it receives payment of the taxes. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS INSTRUCTION 6, IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR TRANSFER TAX STAMPS TO BE AFFIXED TO THE OUTSTANDING NOTES SPECIFIED IN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

7. Waiver of Conditions.

The Company reserves the right (subject to the limitations described in the Prospectus) to waive satisfaction of any or all conditions enumerated in the Prospectus prior to the Expiration Date.

8. No Conditional Tenders.

No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering holders of Outstanding Notes, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal or an Agent’s Message in lieu thereof, shall waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of their Outstanding Notes for exchange.

9. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Outstanding Notes.

Any holder whose Outstanding Notes have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed should contact the Exchange Agent at the address indicated above for further instructions.

10. Validity of Tenders; Defects.

All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Outstanding Notes will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any and all Outstanding Notes not properly tendered or any Outstanding Notes the Company’s acceptance of which would, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be unlawful. The Company also reserves the right in its sole discretion to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to any Outstanding Notes. The Company’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including the instructions in this Letter of Transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties.

Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Outstanding Notes must be cured within such time as the Company shall determine. Although the Company intends to notify holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Outstanding Notes, neither the Company, the Exchange Agent nor any other person is obligated to give notice of any defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of Outstanding Notes nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of Outstanding Notes will not be deemed to have been made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Outstanding Notes received by the Exchange Agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the Exchange Agent to the tendering holders, unless otherwise provided in this Letter of Transmittal, as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Date.

11. Acceptance of Outstanding Notes and Issuance of Notes; Return of Notes

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, the Company will accept for exchange all validly tendered Outstanding Notes as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Date and will issue Exchange Notes therefore as promptly as practicable thereafter.
