         We are requesting that you contact your clients for whom you hold Old

         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

business days following commencement of the Exchange Offer), unless extended by
the Company. The Old Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be

Date.

         To participate in the Exchange Offer, a duly executed and properly

signature guarantees and any other required documents, should be sent to the
Exchange Agent and certificates representing the Old Notes should be delivered

Letter of Transmittal and the Prospectus. If holders of Old Notes wish to
tender, but it is impracticable for them to forward their certificates for Old
Notes prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer or to comply with the
book-entry transfer procedures on a timely basis, a tender may be effected by
following guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Prospectus under "The
Exchange Offer--Guaranteed Delivery Procedures."

         The Company will, upon request, reimburse brokers, dealers, commercial
banks and trust companies for reasonable and necessary costs and expenses
incurred by them in forwarding the Prospectus and the related documents to the
beneficial owners of Old Notes held by them as nominee or in a fiduciary
capacity. The Company will pay or cause to be paid all stock transfer taxes
applicable to the exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, except
as set forth in Instruction 6 of the Letter of Transmittal.
