The terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects (including principal amount, interest rate and maturity) to the terms of the Outstanding Notes for which they may be exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offers, except that the Exchange Notes are freely transferable by holders thereof, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the enclosed Prospectus and enclosed Letter of Transmittal. The Outstanding Notes are unconditionally guaranteed (the “Old Guarantees”) by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (each, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), and the Exchange Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed (the “New Guarantees”) by the Guarantors. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal, the Guarantors offer to issue the New Guarantees with respect to all Exchange Notes issued in the Exchange Offers in exchange for the Old Guarantees of the Outstanding Notes for which such Exchange Notes are issued in the Exchange Offers. Throughout this letter, unless the context otherwise requires and whether so expressed or not, references to the “Exchange Offers” include the Guarantors’ offer to exchange the New Guarantees for the Old Guarantees, references to the “Exchange Notes” include the related New Guarantees and references to the “Outstanding Notes” include the related Old Guarantees. The Company will accept for exchange any and all Outstanding Notes properly tendered according to the terms of the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal. Consummation of the Exchange Offers is subject to certain conditions described in the Prospectus.
