As set forth in the Prospectus, the terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the Old Notes, except that the Exchange Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and therefore will not bear legends restricting their transfer and will not contain certain provisions providing for the payment of liquidated damages to the holders of the Old Notes under certain circumstances relating to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of November 13, 2003, among the Issuers, the initial purchasers of the old notes and the guarantors of the old notes set forth on Annex I thereto and The Bank of New York (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).
The enclosed material is being forwarded to you as the beneficial owner of Old Notes carried by us for your account or benefit but not registered in your name.
