to distribute such Exchange Notes following the completion of the Exchange Offer, and to the best of the Company&#146;s information and belief, each entity participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of
business and the Company is not aware of any person that will participate in the Exchange Offer with a view to distribute the Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer. In this regard, the Company will make each person participating in the
Exchange Offer aware (through the Exchange Offer prospectus or otherwise) that if such person is participating in the Exchange Offer for the purpose of distributing Exchange Notes, such person (i)&nbsp;could not rely on the Staff position enunciated
in the Exxon Capital Letter, the Morgan Stanley Letter or interpretive letters of similar intent, and (ii)&nbsp;must comply with registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale
transaction and be identified as an underwriter in the prospectus. The Company acknowledges that such a secondary resale transaction by a person participating in the Exchange Offer should be covered by an effective registration statement containing
the selling securityholder information required by Item 507 and 508, as applicable, of Regulation <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-K.</FONT> </P>

meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of Exchange Notes received in respect of such Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. The Transmittal Letter will also include a statement to the effect that by
