Consent Solicitation - Seite 2

We have not registered the Consent Solicitation or the Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities law in the United States. The Consents may not be solicited and the Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

The Consent Solicitation has not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor has the SEC passed upon the fairness or merits of the Consent Solicitation. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.

Beeson (the "Regular Trustees"), The Bank of New York Mellon, as property trustee (the "Property Trustee"), and BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware, as Delaware trustee (the "Delaware Trustee" and, together with the Regular Trustees and the Property Trustee, the "Trustees"), the Information and Tabulation Agent or any of their respective directors, employees, affiliates, agents or representatives, if applicable, makes any recommendation as to whether holders should deliver consents to the Proposed Amendment pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, and no one has been authorized by any of them to make such a recommendation.
