6. | The Offer is not subject to any financing condition. The Offer is subject to the conditions described in Section 15 of the Offer to Purchase (the “Offer Conditions”). Among the Offer Conditions are the Merger Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms and the Minimum Condition, the Antitrust Law Condition and the Governmental Authority Condition (each as defined in the Offer to Purchase).

An envelope to return your instructions to us is enclosed. If you authorize tender of your Shares, then all such Shares will be tendered unless otherwise specified on the Instruction Form.
Your prompt action is requested. Your Instruction Form should be forwarded to us in ample time to permit us to submit the tender on your behalf before the Expiration Time.
The Offer is not being made to (nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of) holders of Shares in any jurisdiction in which the making of the Offer or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, “blue sky” or other laws of such jurisdiction.
