If a number of Old Notes registered in different names are tendered, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate copies of this Letter of Transmittal as there are different registrations of such Old Notes.
If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder or holders of the Old Notes (which term, for the purposes described herein, shall include a participant in DTC whose name appears on a security listing as the owner of the Old Notes) listed and tendered hereby, then no endorsements of the tendered Old Notes or separate written instruments of transfer or exchange are required. In any other case, if tendering Old Notes, the registered holder (or acting holder) must either validly endorse the Old Notes or transmit validly completed bond powers with this Letter of Transmittal (in either case executed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear(s) on the Old Notes, and, with respect to a participant in DTC whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of Old Notes, exactly as the name of such participant appears on such security position listing), with the signature on the Old Notes or bond power guaranteed by a Medallion Signature Guarantor (except where the Old Notes are tendered for the account of an eligible institution).
If Old Notes are to be tendered by any person other than the person in whose name the Old Notes are registered, then the Old Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by an appropriate written instrument(s) of transfer executed exactly as the name(s) of the holder(s) appear on the Old Notes, with the signature(s) on the Old Notes or instrument(s) of transfer guaranteed by a Medallion Signature Guarantor, and this Letter of Transmittal must be executed and delivered either by the holder(s), or by the tendering person pursuant to a valid proxy signed by the holder(s), which signature must, in either case, be guaranteed by a Medallion Signature Guarantor.
CSC will not accept any alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders. By executing this Letter of Transmittal (or a facsimile thereof) or directing DTC to transmit an agent’s message, you waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of your Old Notes for exchange.
If this Letter of Transmittal or instruments of transfer are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians or attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing and, unless waived by CSC, submit evidence satisfactory to CSC of their authority so to act along with this Letter of Transmittal.
Beneficial owners whose tendered Old Notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee must contact such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and instruct it to tender on the owners’ behalf, if such beneficial owners wish to participate in the exchange offers.
5. Special Payment Instructions. If cash consideration for the Old Notes tendered hereby is to be credited to a DTC account other than as indicated in the table entitled “Description of Old Notes Tendered and in Respect of Which Consents are Delivered,” the undersigned should complete the “Special Payment Instructions” box on this Letter of Transmittal. All Old Notes tendered by book-entry transfer and not accepted for exchange will otherwise be returned by crediting the account at DTC designated above for which Old Notes were delivered.
6. Canadian Residents. Holders of Old Notes that are Canadian residents and broker-dealers holding tendered Old Notes on behalf of beneficial owners that are Canadian residents must also complete the related Canadian Certification Form for each such holder or beneficial owner and return same to the exchange agent.
7. Transfer Taxes. CSC will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the transfer and sale of Old Notes to CSC in the exchange offers. If transfer taxes are imposed for any other reason, the amount of those transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holders or any other persons, will be payable by the tendering holder.
If satisfactory evidence of payment of or exemption from those transfer taxes is not submitted with this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of those transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering holder and/or withheld from any payments due with respect to the Old Notes tendered by such holder.
