      The Exchange Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum number of Old Notes
being tendered.

      We are the holder of record and/or participant in the book-entry transfer
facility of Old Notes held by us for your account. A tender of such Old Notes
can be made only by us as the record holder and/or participant in the book-entry
transfer facility and pursuant to your instructions. The Letter(s) of
Transmittal is furnished to you for your information only and cannot be used by
you to tender Old Notes held by us for your account.

      We request instructions as to whether you wish to tender any or all of the
Old Notes held by us for your account pursuant to the terms and conditions of
the Exchange Offer. We also request that you confirm that we may on your behalf
make the representations contained in the Letter(s) of Transmittal. You should
forward your instructions and confirmation by completing and executing the
Instruction and returning it to us.

      Pursuant to such Letter(s) of Transmittal, each holder of Old Notes will
represent to the Company as to its principal residence and that: (i) the holder
and the beneficial owner is acquiring the New Notes in the ordinary course of
its business, (ii) neither the holder nor the beneficial owner is an
"affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, (iv) neither the
holder nor the beneficial owner is participating, nor intends to participate, or
has any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, the
distribution of the New Notes, and (v) the holder and the beneficial owner

the purpose of distributing the New Notes or who is an affiliate must and will
comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act, in connection with any resale


                                        1

of the New Notes (to the extent applicable) acquired by such person. If the
tendering holder is a broker-dealer that will receive New Notes for its own
account in exchange for Old Notes, we will represent on behalf of such
broker-dealer that the Old Notes to be exchanged for the New Notes were acquired
by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, and
acknowledge on behalf of such broker-dealer that it will deliver a prospectus
meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of
such New Notes. By acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a
prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any
resale of such New Notes, such broker-dealer is not deemed to admit that it is
an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

                                             Very truly yours,



                                        2
