            2.     Letter of Transmittal;

        Pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal, each holder of Old Notes will represent and warrant to the Company that:

                (i)  the holder has full power and authority to tender, exchange, assign and transfer the Old Notes being tendered, and, that when the Old Notes are accepted for exchange as contemplated in the Letter of Transmittal, the Company will acquire good and unencumbered title to the Old Notes being tendered, free and clear of all security interests, liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, conditional sale agreements or other obligations relating to their sale or transfer, and not subject to any adverse claim;

               (ii)  the New Notes being acquired pursuant to the Exchange Offer are being acquired in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving the New Notes, whether or not that person is the holder of Old Notes;

              (iii)  neither the holder of the Old Notes nor any other person acquiring the New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer through such holder, whether or not that person is the holder of Old Notes, is participating in or has an intent to participate in a distribution of the New Notes;

              (iv)  neither the holder of the Old Notes nor any other person acquiring the New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer through such holder, whether or not that person is the holder of Old Notes, has an arrangement or understanding with any other person, including the Company or any of its affiliates, to participate in a distribution of the New Notes;

               (v)  neither the holder of the Old Notes nor any other person acquiring the New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer through such holder, whether or not that person is the holder of Old Notes, is an “affiliate,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, of the Company; and

              (vi)  if the holder is a broker-dealer, the holder acquired the Old Notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and not directly from the Company for its own account in the initial offering of the Old Notes.

        If any of the foregoing representations and warranties are not true, then such holder of Old Notes is not eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer, cannot rely in connection with the Exchange Offer on the position of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission enunciated in a series of no-action letters issued to third parties and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with the resale of the holder’s New Notes.

        If the holder of Old Notes or any other person acquiring the New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer through such holder, whether or not that person is the holder of Old Notes, is a broker-dealer that will receive New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, it will (i) confirm that it has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with the Company or an affiliate of the Company to distribute the New Notes and (ii) acknowledge to the Company pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of New Notes. By acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

        The enclosed Instructions to Registered Holders from Beneficial Owner contains an authorization by the beneficial owners of the Old Notes for you to make the foregoing representations and acknowledgments.

        The Company will not pay any fee or commission to any broker or dealer or to any other persons (other than the exchange agent for the Exchange Offer) in connection with the solicitation of tenders of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. The Company will pay or cause to be paid any transfer

taxes payable on the transfer of Old Notes to it, except as otherwise provided in Instruction 6 of the enclosed Letter of Transmittal.

        Additional copies of the enclosed material may be obtained from the undersigned.

    Very truly yours,
