        For withdrawals of Shares delivered through The Depository Trust Company (the "Book-Entry Transfer Facility"), this notice of withdrawal (this "Notice of Withdrawal") should only be used for such withdrawals if the undersigned needs to withdraw Shares after the Book-Entry Transfer Facility closes, which is expected to occur at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Otherwise, the Book-Entry Transfer Facility's form of notice of withdrawal should be used for such Shares.

        Once the Book-Entry Transfer Facility has closed, if you beneficially own Shares that were previously delivered through the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, then in order to properly withdraw your Shares, the institution through which your Shares are held must deliver via email this Notice of Withdrawal to Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the Offer (the "Depositary"), at canoticeofguarantee@computershare.com prior to one (1) minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time,

You should consult with such institution on the procedures that must be complied with and the time by which such procedures must be completed to ensure that the institution has ample time to submit this Notice of Withdrawal on your behalf prior to one minute after 11:59 p.m. on the Expiration Date.

        This form must be signed below by the applicable Book-Entry Transfer Facility participant as its name appears on a security position listing showing such participant as the owner of the Shares being tendered. If signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, please set forth the full title of such persons.

        We will determine all questions as to the form and validity, including the time of receipt, of any notice of withdrawal, in our sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding on all parties absent a finding to the contrary by a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither we nor the Dealer Managers, the Depositary, the Information Agent or any other person will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal, nor will any of the foregoing incur liability for failure to give any such notification.

        Withdrawals may not be rescinded, and any Shares properly withdrawn will be deemed not properly tendered for purposes of the Offer.
