3.

The Registrants will make each participant in the Exchange Offer aware (through the Exchange Offer prospectus or otherwise) that (a) by executing the letter of transmittal or similar documentation, any such broker-dealer represents that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of Exchange Notes received in respect of such existing securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer and (b) any such broker-dealer must confirm that it has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with the Registrants or an affiliate of the Registrants to distribute Exchange Notes. The Registrants will include in the letter of transmittal or similar documentation a statement to the effect that by so acknowledging 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 Registrants will include, in the transmittal letter or similar documentation to be executed by the exchange offeree in order to participate in the Exchange Offer, representations to the effect that (a) the exchange offeree is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business; (b) by accepting the Exchange Offer, the exchange offeree represents that it is not engaged in, does not intend to engage in and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes; and (c) the offeree is not an “affiliate” of the Registrants within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act.
