and

· have not engaged in, do not intend to engage in, and have no
arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a
distribution of the New Notes.

Each participating broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its
own account pursuant to the Exchange Offers in exchange for Old
Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making or other
trading activity must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus
in connection with any resale of the New Notes. See "Plan of
Distribution."

own account in exchange for Old Notes that were acquired as a
result of market-making activities, that you will deliver a
prospectus, as required by law, in connection with any resale of
such New Notes; and

· you are not our "affiliate" as defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act.

Shelf Registration Statement
In certain circumstances, we are obligated to file and cause the SEC
to declare effective a shelf registration statement with respect to the
resale of the Old Notes and to keep the shelf registration statement
effective for up to two years after the effective date of the shelf
registration statement (or shorter period that will terminate when all
Old Notes covered by such shelf registration statement have been
sold). These circumstances include:

· if the Exchange Offers are not permitted by applicable law or
SEC policy;

· if the Exchange Offers are not consummated within 360 days of
the applicable issue date of the Notes; and

· upon the request of any holder of Old Notes that (A) is prohibited
by applicable law or SEC policy from participating in the
Exchange Offers, or (B) may not resell the New Notes acquired
in the Exchange Offers without delivering a prospectus, and this
prospectus is not appropriate or available for such resales by
such holder, or (C) is a broker-dealer that holds Old Notes
acquired directly from us or one of our affiliates.

Effect on Holders of Old Notes
As a result of the making of, and upon acceptance for exchange of
all validly tendered Old Notes pursuant to the terms of, the
Exchange Offers, we will have fulfilled a covenant contained in the
registration rights agreements and, accordingly, additional interest
on the Old Notes, if any, shall no longer accrue and we will no
longer be obligated to pay additional interest as described in the
applicable registration rights agreement. If you are a holder of Old
Notes and do not tender your Old Notes in the Exchange Offers, you
will continue to hold such Old Notes and you will be entitled to all
the rights and limitations applicable to the Old Notes in the
applicable indenture governing the Old Notes except for any rights
under the applicable registration rights agreement that by their terms
terminate upon the consummation of the Exchange Offers.
