   The undersigned acknowledges that he or she has received and reviewed the
prospectus, dated              , 2002 (the "Prospectus"), of Entravision
Communications Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), and this
Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"), which together constitute
the Issuer's offer (the "Exchange Offer"), to exchange an aggregate principal
amount of up to $225,000,000 of the Issuer's 8 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2009 which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (individually an "Exchange Note" and collectively, the "Exchange
Notes"), for a like principal amount of the Issuer's issued and outstanding
8 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (individually an "Outstanding Note"
and collectively, the "Outstanding Notes") from the registered holders thereof.

   For each Outstanding Note accepted for exchange, the holder of such
Outstanding Note will receive an Exchange Note having a principal amount equal

<PAGE>

interest from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the
Outstanding Notes, or if no interest has been paid on the Outstanding Notes,
from March 18, 2002. Accordingly, registered holders of Exchange Notes on the
relevant record date for the first interest payment date following the
consummation of the Exchange Offer will receive interest accruing from the most
recent date to which interest has been paid on the Outstanding Notes, or if no
interest has been paid on the Outstanding Notes, from March 18, 2002. Holders
of Exchange Notes will not receive any payment in respect of accrued interest
on Outstanding Notes otherwise payable on any interest payment date, the record
date for which occurs on or after the consummation of the Exchange Offer.

   This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by a holder of Outstanding
Notes either if certificates for such Outstanding Notes are to be forwarded
herewith or if a tender is to be made by book-entry transfer to the account
maintained by the Exchange Agent at The Depository Trust Company ("DTC")
pursuant to the procedures described in the Prospectus under the heading "The
Exchange Offer-Outstanding Notes Held in Book-Entry Form" and an Agent's
Message is not delivered. HOLDERS OF OUTSTANDING NOTES WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY
VALIDLY DELIVERED A LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL IN CONJUNCTION WITH A VALID TENDER OF
OUTSTANDING NOTES FOR EXCHANGE PURSUANT TO THE PROCEDURES DESCRIBED IN THE
PROSPECTUS UNDER THE HEADING "THE EXCHANGE OFFER" ARE NOT REQUIRED TO TAKE ANY
FURTHER ACTION TO RECEIVE EXCHANGE NOTES. HOLDERS OF OUTSTANDING NOTES WHO HAVE
PREVIOUSLY VALIDLY TENDERED OUTSTANDING NOTES FOR EXCHANGE OR WHO VALIDLY
TENDER OUTSTANDING NOTES FOR EXCHANGE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS LETTER OF
TRANSMITTAL MAY WITHDRAW ANY OUTSTANDING NOTES SO TENDERED AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO
5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON THE EXPIRATION DATE. SEE THE PROSPECTUS UNDER
THE HEADING "THE EXCHANGE OFFER" FOR A MORE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THE TENDER
AND WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS. Tenders by book-entry transfer also may be made by
delivering an Agent's Message in lieu of this Letter of Transmittal. The term
"Agent's Message" means a message, transmitted by DTC to and received by the
Exchange Agent and forming a part of a Book-Entry Confirmation (as defined
below), which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the
tendering participant, which acknowledgment states that such participant has
received and agrees to be bound by this Letter of Transmittal and that the
Issuer may enforce this Letter of Transmittal against such participant. Holders
of Outstanding Notes whose certificates are not immediately available, or who
are unable to deliver their certificates or confirmation of the book-entry
tender of their Outstanding Notes into the Exchange Agent's account at DTC (a
"Book-Entry Confirmation") and all other documents required by this Letter of
Transmittal to the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date, must
tender their Outstanding Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures
described in the Prospectus under the heading "The Exchange Offer-Guaranteed
Delivery Procedures". See Instruction 1. Delivery of documents to DTC does not
constitute delivery to the Exchange Agent.

   The method of delivery of Outstanding Notes, Letters of Transmittal and all
other required documents is at the election and risk of the holders. If such
delivery is by mail it is recommended that registered mail properly insured,
with return receipt requested, be used. In all cases, sufficient time should be
allowed to assure timely delivery. No Letters of Transmittal or Outstanding
Notes should be sent to the Issuer.

   The undersigned has completed the appropriate boxes below and signed this
Letter of Transmittal to indicate the action the undersigned desires to take
with respect to the Exchange Offer.

   List below the Outstanding Notes to which this Letter of Transmittal
relates. If the space provided below is inadequate, the certificate numbers and

                    NOTE: SIGNATURES MUST BE PROVIDED BELOW
              PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

Ladies and Gentlemen:

   Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the
undersigned hereby tenders to the Issuer the aggregate principal amount of
Outstanding Notes indicated above. Subject to, and effective upon, the
acceptance for exchange of the Outstanding Notes tendered hereby, the
undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the
Issuer all right, title and interest in and to such Outstanding Notes as are
being tendered hereby.

   The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange
Agent as the undersigned's true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with
respect to such tendered Outstanding Notes, with full power of substitution,
among other things, to cause the Outstanding Notes to be assigned, transferred
and exchanged. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the
undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer
the Outstanding Notes, and to acquire Exchange Notes issuable upon the exchange
of such tendered Outstanding Notes, and that, when the same are accepted for
exchange, the Issuer will acquire good and unencumbered title thereto, free and
clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to
any adverse claim when the same are accepted by the Issuer. The undersigned
hereby further represents that any Exchange Notes acquired in exchange for
Outstanding Notes tendered hereby will have been acquired in the ordinary
course of business of the person receiving such Exchange Notes, whether or not
such person is the undersigned, that neither the holder of such Outstanding
Notes nor any such other person is participating in, intends to participate in
or has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the
distribution of such Exchange Notes and that neither the holder of such
Outstanding Notes nor any such other person is an "affiliate," as defined in
Rule 405 under the Securities Act, of the Issuer.

   The undersigned acknowledges that this Exchange Offer is being made in
reliance on interpretations by the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission"), as set forth in no-action letters issued to
third parties, that the Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in
exchange for the Outstanding Notes may be offered for resale, resold and
otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than any such holder that is an
"affiliate" of the Issuer within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities
Act), without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery
provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such Exchange Notes are
acquired in the ordinary course of such holders' business and such holders have
no arrangement with any person to participate in the distribution of such
Exchange Notes. However, the Commission has not considered the Exchange Offer
in the context of a no-action letter and there can be no assurance that the
staff of the Commission would make a similar determination with respect to the
Exchange Offer as in other circumstances. If the undersigned is not a
broker-dealer, the undersigned represents that it is not engaged in, and does
not intend to engage in, a distribution of Exchange Notes and has no
arrangement or understanding to participate in a distribution of Exchange
Notes. If any holder is an affiliate of the Issuer, is engaged in or intends to
engage in or has any arrangement or understanding with respect to the
distribution of the Exchange Notes to be acquired pursuant to the Exchange
Offer, such holder (i) could not rely on the applicable interpretations of the
staff of the Commission and (ii) must comply with the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any
resale transaction. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive
Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Outstanding Notes, it
represents that the Outstanding Notes to be exchanged for the Exchange Notes
were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities and acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such
Exchange Notes; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus
meeting the requirements of the Securities Act, the undersigned will not be
deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the
Securities Act.

   The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional
documents deemed by the Issuer to be necessary or desirable to complete the
sale, assignment and transfer of the Outstanding Notes tendered hereby. All
authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal and
every obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the
successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy
and legal representatives of the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and
shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned. This tender may be
withdrawn only in accordance with the procedures described in the Prospectus
under the heading "The Exchange Offer-Withdrawal of Tenders."

1. DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND NOTES; GUARANTEED DELIVERY
   PROCEDURES.

   This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by holders of Outstanding
Notes either if certificates are to be forwarded herewith or if tenders are to
be made pursuant to the procedures for delivery by book-entry transfer
described in the Prospectus under the heading "The Exchange Offer-Outstanding
Notes Held in Book-Entry Form" and an Agent's Message is not delivered. Tenders
by book-entry transfer also may be made by delivering an Agent's Message in
lieu of this Letter of Transmittal. The term "Agent's Message" means a message,
transmitted by DTC to and received by the Exchange Agent and forming a part of
a Book-Entry Confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express
acknowledgment from the tendering participant, which acknowledgment states that
such participant has received and agrees to be bound by, and makes the
representations and warranties contained in, this Letter of Transmittal and
that the Issuer may enforce this Letter of Transmittal against such
participant. Certificates for all physically tendered Outstanding Notes, or
Book-Entry Confirmation, as the case may be, as well as a properly completed
and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or manually signed facsimile hereof or
Agent's Message in lieu thereof) and any other documents required by this
Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Exchange Agent at the address
set forth herein prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration
Date, or the tendering holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery
procedures set forth below. Outstanding Notes tendered hereby must be in
denominations of principal amount of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

   Holders whose certificates for Outstanding Notes are not immediately
available or who cannot deliver their certificates and all other required
documents to the Exchange Agent before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
Expiration Date, or who cannot complete the procedure for book-entry transfer
on a timely basis, may tender their Outstanding Notes pursuant to the
guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Prospectus under the heading
"The Exchange Offer-Guaranteed Delivery Procedures". Pursuant to such
procedures, (i) such tender must be made through an Eligible Institution, (ii)
prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the Exchange
Agent must receive from such Eligible Institution a properly completed and duly
executed Letter of Transmittal (or a facsimile thereof) and Notice of
Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form provided by the Issuer (by
facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery), setting forth the name and
address of the holder of Outstanding Notes and the amount of Outstanding Notes
tendered, stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that
within three New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") trading days after the date of
execution of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, the certificates for all
physically tendered Outstanding Notes, in proper form for transfer, or a
Book-Entry Confirmation, as the case may be, together with a properly completed
and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof or Agent's
Message in lieu thereof) with any required signature guarantees and any other
documents required by this Letter of Transmittal will be deposited by the
Eligible Institution with the Exchange Agent, and (iii) the certificates for
all physically tendered Outstanding Notes, in proper form for transfer, or a
Book-Entry Confirmation, as the case may be, together with a properly completed
and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof or Agent's
Message in lieu thereof) with any required signature guarantees and all other
documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, are received by the Exchange
Agent within three NYSE trading days after the Expiration Date.

   The method of delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, the Outstanding Notes
and all other required documents is at the election and risk of the tendering
holders, but the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received or
confirmed by the Exchange Agent. If Outstanding Notes are sent by mail, it is
suggested that the mailing be registered mail, properly insured, with return
receipt requested, made sufficiently in advance of the Expiration Date to
permit delivery to the Exchange Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the Expiration Date. See the Prospectus under the heading "The Exchange
Offer".

2. PARTIAL TENDERS (NOT APPLICABLE TO NOTE HOLDERS WHO TENDER BY BOOK-ENTRY
   TRANSFER).

   If less than all of the Outstanding Notes evidenced by a submitted
certificate are to be tendered, the tendering holder(s) should fill in the
aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes to be tendered in the box above
entitled "Description of 8 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009--Principal
Amount Tendered." A reissued certificate representing the balance of
nontendered Outstanding Notes will be sent to such tendering holder, unless
otherwise provided in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal,
promptly after the Expiration Date. ALL OF THE OUTSTANDING NOTES DELIVERED TO
THE EXCHANGE AGENT WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN TENDERED UNLESS OTHERWISE
INDICATED.

3. SIGNATURES ON THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL; BOND POWERS AND ENDORSEMENTS;
   GUARANTEE OF SIGNATURES.

   If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the holder of the Outstanding
Notes tendered hereby, the signature must correspond exactly with the name as
written on the face of the certificates or on DTC's security position listing
as the holder of such Outstanding Notes without any change whatsoever.

   If any tendered Outstanding Notes are owned of record by two or more joint
owners, all of such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

   If any tendered Outstanding Notes are registered in different names on
several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many
separate copies of this Letter of Transmittal as there are different
registrations of certificates.

   When this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder or
holders of the Outstanding Notes specified herein and tendered hereby, no
endorsements of certificates or separate bond powers are required. If, however,
the Exchange Notes are to be issued, or any untendered Outstanding Notes are to
be reissued, to a person other than the registered holder, then endorsements of
any certificates transmitted hereby or separate bond powers are required.
Signatures on such certificate(s) must be guaranteed by a participant in a
securities transfer association recognized signature program.

   If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the
registered holder or holders of any certificate(s) specified herein, such
certificate(s) must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate bond powers, in
either case signed exactly as the name or names of the registered holder or
holders appear(s) on the certificate(s) and signatures on such certificate(s)
must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

   If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificates or bond powers are signed
by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers
of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity,
such persons should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by the Issuer,
proper evidence satisfactory to the Issuer of their authority to so act must be
submitted.

   Endorsements on certificates for the Outstanding Notes or signatures on bond
powers required by this Instruction 3 must be guaranteed by a firm which is a
financial institution (including most banks, savings and loan associations and
brokerage houses) that is a participant in the Securities Transfer Agents
Medallion Program, the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program or
the Stock Exchanges Medallion Program (each an "Eligible Institution").

   Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal need not be guaranteed by an
Eligible Institution, provided the Outstanding Notes are tendered: (i) by a
registered holder of Outstanding Notes (which term, for purposes of the
Exchange Offer, includes any participant in DTC's system whose name appears on
a security position listing as the holder of such Outstanding Notes) who has
not completed the box entitled "Special Issuance Instructions" or "Special
Delivery Instructions" on this Letter of Transmittal, or (ii) for the account
of an Eligible Institution.

                                      10

4. SPECIAL ISSUANCE AND DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS.

   Tendering holders of Outstanding Notes should indicate in the applicable box
the name and address to which Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange
Offer and/or substitute certificates evidencing Outstanding Notes not exchanged
are to be issued or sent, if different from the name or address of the person
signing this Letter of Transmittal. In the case of issuance in a different
name, the employer identification or social security number of the person named
also must be indicated. Note holders tendering Outstanding Notes by book-entry
transfer may request that Outstanding Notes not exchanged be credited to such
account maintained at DTC as such note holder may designate hereon. If no such
instructions are given, such Outstanding Notes not exchanged will be returned
to the name and address of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal.

5. TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING.

   Federal income tax law generally requires that a tendering holder whose
Outstanding Notes are accepted for exchange must provide the Exchange Agent (as
payor) with such holder's correct Taxpayer Identification Number (a "TIN"),
which, in the case of a holder who is an individual, is such holder's social
security number. If the Exchange Agent is not provided with the correct TIN or
an adequate basis for an exemption, such holder may be subject to a $50 penalty
imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and backup withholding in an amount
equal to 30% of the amount of any reportable payments made after the exchange
to such tendering holder. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a
refund may be obtained.

   To prevent backup withholding, each tendering holder must provide such
holder's correct TIN by completing the "Substitute Form W-9" set forth herein,
certifying that the TIN provided is correct (or that such holder is awaiting a
TIN) and that (i) the holder is exempt from backup withholding, (ii) the holder
has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that such holder is
subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest
or dividends or (iii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the holder that
such holder is no longer subject to backup withholding.

   If the holder does not have a TIN, such holder should consult the enclosed
Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute
Form W-9 (the "W-9 Guidelines") for instructions on applying for a TIN, write
"Applied For" in the space for the TIN in Part 1 of the Substitute Form W-9,
and sign and date the Substitute Form W-9 and the Certificate of Awaiting
Taxpayer Identification Number set forth herein. If the holder does not provide
such holder's TIN to the Exchange Agent within 60 days, backup withholding will
begin and continue until such holder furnishes such holder's TIN to the
Exchange Agent. NOTE: WRITING "APPLIED FOR" ON THE FORM MEANS THAT THE HOLDER
HAS ALREADY APPLIED FOR A TIN OR THAT SUCH HOLDER INTENDS TO APPLY FOR ONE IN
THE NEAR FUTURE.

   If the Outstanding Notes are held in more than one name or are not in the
name of the actual owner, consult the W-9 Guidelines for information on which
TIN to report.

   Exempt holders (including, among others, all corporations and certain
foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting
requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt
holder should write "Exempt" in Part 2 of Substitute Form W-9. See the W-9
Guidelines for additional instructions. In order for a nonresident alien or
foreign entity to qualify as exempt, such person must submit an appropriate and
properly completed Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY, as the case may be,
signed under penalty of perjury attesting to such exempt status. Such form may
be obtained from the Exchange Agent.

6. TRANSFER TAXES.

   The Issuer will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the transfer
of Outstanding Notes to the Issuer or its order pursuant to the Exchange Offer.
If, however, Exchange Notes and/or substitute Outstanding Notes not exchanged
are to be delivered to, or are to be registered or issued in the name of, any
person other than the registered holder of the Outstanding Notes tendered
hereby, or if tendered Outstanding Notes are registered in the name of any
person other than the person signing this Letter of Transmittal, or if a
transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the transfer of Outstanding
Notes

                                      11

<PAGE>

to the Issuer or its order pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the amount of any
such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other
persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of
payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted herewith, the
amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS INSTRUCTION 6, IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR TRANSFER
TAX STAMPS TO BE AFFIXED TO THE OUTSTANDING NOTES SPECIFIED IN THIS LETTER OF
TRANSMITTAL.

7. WAIVER OF CONDITIONS.

   The Issuer reserves the right (in its reasonable discretion) to waive
satisfaction of any or all conditions enumerated in the Prospectus.

8. NO CONDITIONAL TENDERS; DEFECTS.

   No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tenders will be
accepted. All tendering holders of Outstanding Notes, by execution of this
Letter of Transmittal or an Agent's Message in lieu thereof, shall waive any
right to receive notice of the acceptance of their Outstanding Notes for
exchange.

   Neither the Issuer, the Exchange Agent nor any other person is obligated to
give notice of any defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of
Outstanding Notes nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give
any such notice.

9. MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED OUTSTANDING NOTES.

   Any holder whose Outstanding Notes have been mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed should contact the Exchange Agent at the address indicated above for
further instructions.

10. WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS.

   Tenders of Outstanding Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

   For a withdrawal of a tender of Outstanding Notes to be effective, a written
notice of withdrawal must be received by the Exchange Agent at the address set
forth above prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Any
such notice of withdrawal must (i) specify the name of the person having
tendered the Outstanding Notes to be withdrawn (the "Depositor"), (ii) identify
the Outstanding Notes to be withdrawn (including certificate number or numbers
and the principal amount of such Outstanding Notes), (iii) contain a statement
that such holder is withdrawing such holder's election to have such Outstanding
Notes exchanged, (iv) be signed by the holder in the same manner as the
original signature on the Letter of Transmittal by which such Outstanding Notes
were tendered (including any required signature guarantees) or be accompanied
by documents of transfer to have the Trustee with respect to the Outstanding
Notes register the transfer of such Outstanding Notes in the name of the person
withdrawing the tender and (v) specify the name in which such Outstanding Notes
are registered, if different from that of the Depositor. If Outstanding Notes
have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described
in the Prospectus under the heading "The Exchange Offer--Outstanding Notes Held
in Book-Entry Form", any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number
of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Outstanding Notes and
otherwise comply with the procedures of such facility.

   All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of
receipt) of such notices will be determined by the Issuer (which power may be
delegated to the Exchange Agent), whose determination shall be final and
binding on all parties. Any Outstanding Notes so withdrawn will be deemed not
to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the Exchange Offer
and no Exchange Notes will be issued with respect thereto unless the
Outstanding Notes so withdrawn are validly retendered. Any Outstanding Notes
that have been tendered for exchange but which are not exchanged for any reason
will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to such holder (or, in the
case of Outstanding Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the Exchange
Agent's account at DTC pursuant to the book-entry transfer procedures described
in the Prospectus under the heading "The Exchange Offer--Outstanding Notes Held
in Book-Entry Form", such Outstanding Notes

                                      12

<PAGE>

will be credited to an account maintained with DTC for the Outstanding Notes)
as soon as practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of
the Exchange Offer. Properly withdrawn Outstanding Notes may be retendered by
following the procedures described above at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on the Expiration Date.

11. REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE OR ADDITIONAL COPIES.

   Questions relating to the procedure for tendering, as well as requests for
additional copies of the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal, and
requests for Notices of Guaranteed Delivery and other related documents may be
directed to the Exchange Agent, at the address and telephone number indicated
above.
