         The undersigned acknowledges receipt of the Prospectus, dated ____,

"Company"), and this Letter of Transmittal and the instructions hereto (the

"Letter of Transmittal"), which together constitute the Company's offer (the

"Exchange Offer") to exchange $1,000 principal amount of each of its 8 3/4%

Series B Senior Notes due 2009 (the "Exchange Notes") that have been registered

under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to

a Registration Statement of which the Prospectus is a part, for each $1,000

principal amount of each of its outstanding 8 3/4% Senior Notes due 2009 (the

"Old Notes"), of which $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount is outstanding,

upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus. The

term "Expiration Date" shall mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on _______,

2001, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, extends the Exchange Offer,

in which case the term shall mean the latest date and time to which the Exchange

Offer is extended by the Company. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein

have the meaning given to them in the Prospectus.



         This Letter of Transmittal is to be used if (i) certificates

representing Old Notes are to be physically delivered to the Exchange Agent

herewith by Holders, (ii) tender of Old Notes is to be made by book-entry

transfer to an account maintained by the Exchange Agent at The Depository Trust

Company ("DTC"), pursuant to the procedures set forth in "The Exchange

according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the Prospectus

under "The Exchange Offer--Guaranteed Delivery Procedures." Delivery of this

Letter of Transmittal and any other required documents must be made to the

Exchange Agent. Delivery of documents to DTC does not constitute delivery to the

Exchange Agent.



         The term "Holder" as used herein means any person in whose name Old

Notes are registered on the books of the Company or any other person who has

obtained a properly completed bond power from the registered holder or any

person whose Old Notes are held of record by DTC who wishes to deliver such Old

Notes by book-entry transfer through DTC.



         All Holders who wish to tender their Old Notes must, prior to the

Expiration Date: (1) complete, sign, and deliver this Letter of Transmittal, or

a facsimile thereof, to the Exchange Agent, in person or by mail or otherwise to

the address set forth above; and (2) tender (and not withdraw) his or her Old

Notes or, if a tender of Old Notes is to be made by book-entry transfer to the

account maintained by the Exchange Agent at DTC, confirm such book-entry

transfer (a "Book-Entry Confirmation"), in each case in accordance with the

procedures for tendering described in the Instructions to this Letter of

Transmittal. Holders whose certificates are not immediately available, or who

are unable to deliver their certificates or Book-Entry Confirmation and all

other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal to be delivered to the

Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date, must tender their Old Notes

according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth under the caption "The

Exchange Offer--Guaranteed Delivery Procedures" in the Prospectus. (See

Instruction 2.)



       Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the

acceptance for exchange of the Old Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn and

the issuance of the Exchange Notes will be made promptly following the

Expiration Date. For the purposes of the Exchange Offer, the Company shall be

deemed to have accepted for exchange, validly tendered Old Notes when, as, and

if the Company has given oral or written notice thereof to the Exchange Agent.



         The undersigned has completed, executed and delivered this Letter of

Transmittal to indicate the action the undersigned desires to take with respect

to the Exchange Offer.
