2. | Neither of the Issuers nor any of the Guarantors has entered into any arrangement or understanding with any person to distribute the New Securities to be received in the Exchange Offers and, to the best of the Issuers’ information and belief, each person participating in the Exchange Offers is acquiring the New Securities in the ordinary course of its business and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the New Securities to be received in the Exchange Offers. In this regard, the Issuers and the Guarantors will make each person participating in the Exchange Offers aware (through the prospectus relating to the Exchange Offers or otherwise) that any securityholder using the Exchange Offers to participate in a distribution of the New Securities (a) may not rely on the staff position in the Exxon Capital Letters or similar letters and (b) must comply with registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction. The Issuers and the Guarantors acknowledge that such a secondary resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling securityholder information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act. |
The Issuers and the Guarantors will also include in the letter of transmittal (or similar documentation to be executed by each person participating in the Exchange Offers) disclosure that by accepting an Exchange Offer each holder (including any broker-dealer) of the Old Securities represents to the Company that it is not an affiliate of the Company, that the New Securities will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, and that such holder is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the New Securities to be received in the Exchange Offers. If a broker-dealer holds Old Securities for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, such broker-dealer will acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of securities to be received in the Exchange Offers.
