Securities Act (as described in Shearman & Sterling (available July 2, 1993)) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes.
5. The Registrants will include in the transmittal letter or similar documentation to be executed by an exchange offeree in order to participate in the Exchange Offer the following additional provisions:
(a) An acknowledgement that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes.
(b) If the exchange offeree is a broker-dealer holding old notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, an acknowledgment that it will deliver a prospectus 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; and a statement to the effect that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, such broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.
