     3. A Notice of Guaranteed Delivery to be used to accept the Exchange
  Offer if certificates for Old Notes are not immediately available or time
  will not permit all required documents to reach the Exchange Agent prior to
  the Expiration Date (as defined below) or if the procedure for book-entry
  transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis;

     4. A form of letter which may be sent to your clients for whose account
  you hold Old Notes registered in your name or the name of your nominee,
  with space provided for obtaining such clients' instructions with regard to
