The terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects (including principal amount, interest rate and maturity) to the terms of the Old Notes for which they may be exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer, except that the issuance of the Exchange Notes is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Exchange Notes are freely transferrable by the holders thereof, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the enclosed Prospectus and the related Letter of Transmittal, are not entitled to registration rights and do have the right to earn additional interest under circumstances relating to the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ registration obligations. The Old Notes are unconditionally guaranteed (the “Old Guarantees”) by the Guarantors, and the Exchange Notes are 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 Offer in exchange for the Old Guarantees of the Old Notes for which such Exchange Notes are issued in the Exchange Offer. Throughout this letter, unless the context otherwise requires and whether so expressed or not, references to the “Exchange Offer” 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 “Old Notes” include the related Old Guarantees. The Issuer will accept for exchange any and all Old Notes properly tendered according to the terms of the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal. Consummation of the Exchange Offer is subject to certain conditions described in the Prospectus.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EXCHANGE OFFER WILL EXPIRE AT 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON [●], 2019 (THE “EXPIRATION DATE”), UNLESS THE ISSUER EXTENDS THE EXCHANGE OFFER.

A tender of such Old Notes may only be made by us as the registered holder and pursuant to your instructions. Therefore, the Issuer urges beneficial owners of Old Notes registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to contact such registered holder promptly if such beneficial owners wish to tender their Old Notes in the Exchange Offer.
Accordingly, we request instructions as to whether you wish to tender any or all such Old Notes held by us for your account, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the enclosed Prospectus and Letter of Transmittal. If you wish to have us tender any or all of your Old Notes, please so instruct us by completing,
