To prevent backup withholding, each exchanging Holder must provide his, her or its correct TIN by completing the Substitute Form W-9 enclosed herewith, 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 IRS that he, she or it is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends dividends; or (iii) the IRS has notified the Holder that he, she or it is no longer subject to backup withholding. In order to satisfy the Exchange Agent that a foreign individual qualifies as an exempt recipient, such Xxxxxx must submit a statement signed under penalty of perjury attesting to such exempt status. Such statements may be obtained from the Exchange Agent. If the Old Notes Series A Debentures are in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the Substitute Form W-9 for information on which TIN to report. If you do not provide your TIN to the Company within 60 days, backup withholding will begin and continue until you furnish your TIN to the Company.
