Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal. This Letter of Transmittal is to be read by the beneficial owners of Old Notes who wish to exchange their Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. For a Tendering Holder to properly tender Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, a properly completed electronic tender message sent to Euroclear or Clearsteam, as the case may be, must be received prior to 9:00 a.m., central European time, on the Expiration Date.

Transfer Taxes. The Issuer will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. If, however, a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the transfer and exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer including if a transfer tax is imposed because a beneficial owner requests that Exchange Notes, or the Old Notes not tendered or not accepted in the Exchange Offer, be transferred to another person, then the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or on any other person) will be payable by the Tendering Holder.

In accordance with interpretations of the staff of the SEC, as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, the Issuer also reserves the right to waive any conditions of the Exchange Offer to amend or modify those conditions or to waive defects or irregularities in tenders of Old Notes or as to any ineligibility of any holder who seeks to tender Old Notes in the Exchange Offer. The interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including this Letter of Transmittal and the instructions hereto) within the Issuer's reasonable judgement shall be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Old Notes must be cured within such time as the Issuer shall determine. Neither the Issuer, the Exchange Agent nor any other person shall be under any duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Old Notes, nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of Old Notes will not be deemed to have been made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived.
