As set forth in the Prospectus, the terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the Initial Notes, except that the Exchange Notes have been registered under the Securities Act and therefore (1) will not be subject to certain restrictions on their transfer, (2) will not be entitled to registration rights and (3) will not contain provisions providing for an increase in the interest rate thereon under the circumstances set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement as described in the Prospectus.
The Exchange Offer is not conditioned on any minimum aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes being tendered, except that the Initial Notes may be tendered only in a principal amount of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.
The Exchange Offer is subject to the conditions described in the section entitled "The Exchange OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer" of the Prospectus. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Exchange Offer, or any extension of the Exchange Offer, the Company will not be required to accept for exchange, or to exchange any Exchange Notes for, any Initial Notes and may terminate the Exchange Offer (whether or not any Initial Notes have been accepted for exchange) or may waive any conditions to or amend the Exchange Offer, if any of the conditions described in the Prospectus under "The Exchange OfferConditions of the Exchange Offer" have occurred or exist or have not been satisfied.
We are requesting that you contact your clients for whom you hold Initial Notes regarding the Exchange Offer. Enclosed herewith for your information and forwarding to your clients for whom you hold Initial Notes registered in your name or in the name of your nominee, or who hold Initial Notes registered in their own names, are copies of the following documents:

3. Guidelines of the Internal Revenue Service for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9.
Your prompt action is requested. Please note the Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2006, unless extended. Please furnish copies of the enclosed materials
to those of your clients for whom you hold Initial Notes registered in your name or in the name of your nominee as quickly as possible.

We are not making the Exchange Offer to, nor will we accept tenders from or on behalf of, holders of Initial Notes residing in any jurisdiction in which the making of the Exchange Offer or the acceptance of tenders would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction.
We will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or other persons for soliciting acceptances of the Exchange Offer. We will, however, upon request, reimburse you for customary clerical and mailing expenses incurred by you in forwarding any of the enclosed materials to your clients. We will pay or cause to be paid any transfer taxes payable on the transfer of Initial Notes to us, except as otherwise provided in the Prospectus.
