The method of delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, the Old Notes and all other required documents is at the election and risk of the tendering holders, but the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received or confirmed by the Exchange Agent. If Old Notes are sent by mail, it is suggested that the mailing be registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested, made sufficiently in advance of the Expiration Time to permit delivery to the Exchange Agent at or prior to the Expiration Time. No Letters of Transmittal or Old Notes should be sent directly to the Issuer.
See “The Exchange Offer” in the Prospectus.
