Your attention is directed to the following:
1. The Exchange Offer is for the entire aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes.
2. Consummation of the Exchange Offer is conditioned upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus under the captions “Exchange Offer—Terms of the Exchange Offer” and “Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.”
3. Tendering Holders may withdraw their tender at any time until one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.
4. Any transfer taxes incident to the transfer of Outstanding Notes from the tendering Holder to the Issuer will be paid by the Issuer, except as provided in the Prospectus and the instructions to the Letter of Transmittal.
5. The Exchange Offer is not being made to, nor will the surrender of Outstanding Notes for exchange be accepted from or on behalf of, Holders of Outstanding Notes in any jurisdiction in which the Exchange Offer or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdiction.
6. The acceptance for exchange of Outstanding Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn and the issuance of Exchange Notes will be made as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date.
7. The Issuer expressly reserves the right, in its reasonable discretion and in accordance with applicable law, (i) to delay accepting any Outstanding Notes, (ii) to terminate the Exchange Offer and not accept any Outstanding Notes for exchange if it determines that any of the conditions to the Exchange Offer, as set forth in the Prospectus, have not occurred or been satisfied, (iii) to extend the Expiration Date of the Exchange Offer and retain all Outstanding Notes tendered in the Exchange Offer other than those Outstanding Notes properly withdrawn, or (iv) to waive any condition or to amend the terms of the Exchange Offer in any manner. In the event of any extension, delay, non-acceptance, termination, waiver or amendment, the Issuer will as promptly as practicable give written notice of the action to the Exchange Agent and make a public announcement of such action. In the case of an extension, such announcement will be made no later than 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled Expiration Date.
8. Consummation of the Exchange Offer may have adverse consequences to Holders of Outstanding Notes not tendering such Outstanding Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, including that the reduced amount of Outstanding Notes as a result of the Exchange Offer may adversely affect the trading market, liquidity and market price of the Outstanding Notes.
