<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">As of February 12, 2021, the aggregate principal amounts of Pool 1 Notes and Pool 2 Notes outstanding were $17,898.6&nbsp;million and
$3,958.9&nbsp;million, respectively. The aggregate principal amount of New Notes to be issued pursuant to the Exchange Offers will be subject to the applicable New Issue Cap (as described below). We may in our sole discretion, subject to applicable
law, increase either or both of the New 2052 Notes Issue Caps or the New 2062 Notes Issue Cap. The principal amount of each series of Existing Notes to be accepted pursuant to the Exchange Offers will be subject to the &#147;acceptance priority
level&#148; (in numerical priority order) of such series as set forth in the applicable table on the front cover of this prospectus. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">With respect
to Existing Notes tendered in an Exchange Offer, and not validly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Time, such Existing Notes of a series having a higher acceptance priority level for such Exchange Offer will be accepted for exchange before any such
Existing Notes of a series having a lower acceptance priority level. If acceptance of all validly tendered Existing Notes of a series would not result in us issuing New Notes having an aggregate principal amount in excess of the applicable New Issue
Cap, we will accept all validly tendered Existing Notes of such series. If acceptance of all validly tendered Existing Notes of a series would result in us issuing New Notes having an aggregate principal amount in excess of the applicable New Issue
Cap, the tendered Existing Notes of such series will be accepted subject to proration as described more fully in this prospectus. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The completion of
the Exchange Offers for each series of Existing Notes is subject to, and conditional upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including, among other things, (i)&nbsp;the registration statement on Form
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-4</FONT> of which this prospectus forms a part having been declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the Expiration Time and remaining effective on the Settlement Date; (ii)&nbsp;the condition that, as of the
Pricing Time, the combination of the yield of the New Notes and the Total Exchange Consideration for the applicable series of Existing Notes would result in the New Notes and such Existing Notes not being treated as &#147;substantially
different&#148; under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (&#147;ASC&#148;) <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">470-50</FONT> (the &#147;Accounting Treatment Condition&#148;); (iii) the requirement, with respect to the Exchange Offers of New Notes
for Existing Notes, that we issue at least (a) $3,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of New 2052 Notes and (b) $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of New 2062 Notes; (iv)&nbsp;the Yield Condition (as defined below) (for any applicable series
of Existing Notes); and (v)&nbsp;that nothing has occurred or may occur that would or might, in our reasonable judgment, be expected to prohibit, prevent, restrict or delay an Exchange Offer or delay the scheduled Pricing Time or impair us from
realizing the anticipated benefits of an Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer for any particular series of Existing Notes is further subject to the condition that the acceptance of validly tendered series of Existing Notes with a higher acceptance
priority level would not result in the issuance of New 2052 Notes or New 2062 Notes in excess of the New 2052 Notes Issue Cap or the New 2062 Notes Issue Cap, as applicable. We may, at our option, waive any such conditions at or by the Expiration
Time, except the condition that the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part has been declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the Expiration Time and remains effective on the Settlement Date. The &#147;Settlement Date&#148;
will promptly follow the Expiration Time and is expected to be March 17, 2021, which is the second business day following the Expiration Time. Tendering holders of Existing Notes must tender Existing Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. New Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">In our sole discretion and subject to applicable law, we reserve the right to remove one or more series of Existing Notes from the Exchange Offers if we
determine that the Accounting Treatment Condition or the Yield Condition for such series of Existing Notes will not be achieved. Any such decision will be determined as of the Pricing Time and would be announced with the pricing terms. In the event
we remove a particular series of Existing Notes from an Exchange Offer, the acceptance priority level for any series of Existing Notes below such series of notes removed will be adjusted accordingly. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><I>Before participating in the Exchange Offers, you should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information set forth or
incorporated by reference in this prospectus together with the registration statement and the exhibits thereto, including the risks and uncertainties described under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148; included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual
Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for the fiscal year ended June&nbsp;30, 2020 and Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Reports on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q</FONT> for the quarterly periods ended
September&nbsp;30, 2020 and December&nbsp;31, 2020. See &#147;Where You Can Find More Information&#148; in this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks facing us and your investment in the New Notes. Additional
risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or those we currently deem less significant, also may become important factors that affect us. The following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations or liquidity. The value of the New Notes could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>Risks Related
to the Exchange Offers </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B><I>The liquidity of the Existing Notes that are not exchanged will be reduced. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">We expect that the trading market for unexchanged Existing Notes will become more limited than the existing trading market and could cease to exist
altogether due to the reduction in the amount of the Existing Notes outstanding upon consummation of the Exchange Offers. Because of the acceptance priority levels, it is more likely that a reduction in the principal amount outstanding could occur
with respect to a series of Existing Notes having a higher priority acceptance level. A more limited trading market for a particular series of Existing Notes might adversely affect the liquidity, market price and price volatility of such series of
Existing Notes. If a market for unexchanged Existing Notes exists or develops, those securities may trade at a discount to the price at which the securities would trade if the amount outstanding were not reduced, depending on prevailing interest
rates, the market for similar securities and other factors. However, we cannot assure you that an active market in the unexchanged Existing Notes will exist, develop or be maintained or as to the prices at which the unexchanged Existing Notes may be
traded. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B><I>We have not made a recommendation as to whether you should tender your Existing Notes in exchange for the New Notes in the Exchange Offers, and we

Existing Notes in exchange for the New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offers. Furthermore, neither we nor our board of directors has made any determination that the consideration to be received represents a fair valuation of the Existing Notes, and
we also have not retained, and do not intend to retain, any unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of the holders of Existing Notes for purposes of negotiating the terms of the Exchange Offers, or preparing a report or making any
recommendation concerning the fairness of the Exchange Offers. Holders of Existing Notes must make their own independent decisions regarding their participation in the applicable Exchange Offer. </P>

have adverse consequences to holders of Existing Notes that are subject to such Exchange Offer who elect not to tender their Existing Notes in such Exchange Offer. In particular, the trading market for such Existing Notes that are not exchanged
could become more limited than the existing trading market for such Existing Notes and could cease to exist altogether due to the reduction in the amount of such Existing Notes outstanding upon consummation of such Exchange Offer. Because of the
acceptance priority levels, it is more likely that a reduction in the principal amount outstanding could occur with respect to a series of Existing Notes having a higher priority acceptance level. A more limited trading market for a particular
series of Existing Notes might adversely affect the liquidity, market price and price volatility of such series of Existing Notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><I>Treatment of Existing Notes

The following is a summary of the material provisions of our Indenture. Because this is a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you. You should read the Indenture in its entirety. See &#147;Where You Can Find More
Information.&#148; Capitalized terms used but not defined in this prospectus have the meanings assigned in the Indenture. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><B>General </B></P>

Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, as supplemented by a supplemental indenture between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee for the New Notes offered hereby (the &#147;Indenture&#148;). The New Notes will be our
senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt from time to time outstanding. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The New 2052
Notes initially will be limited to up to $6,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount and the New 2062 Notes initially will be limited to up to $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount. The maturity date of the New 2052 Notes will be March&nbsp;17,
2052 and the maturity date of the New 2062 Notes will be March&nbsp;17, 2062. We may, at any time or from time to time, issue additional New Notes of each series of New Notes offered hereby without the consent of the holders of that series of New
Notes, but we will not issue such additional New Notes unless they are fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the relevant series of New Notes offered hereby. </P>

corporation&#148; within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a &#147;clearing agency&#148; registered pursuant to the provisions of Section&nbsp;17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities of institutions that
have accounts with DTC (&#147;participants&#148;) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thereby
eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC&#146;s participants include both U.S. and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and
certain other organizations. Access to DTC&#146;s book-entry system is also available to others such as both U.S. and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations

securities will be made only through, records maintained by DTC and its participants. When you purchase notes through the DTC system, the purchases must be made by or through a direct
participant, which will receive credit for the notes on DTC&#146;s records. When you actually purchase the New Notes, you will become its beneficial owner. Your ownership interest will be recorded only on the direct or indirect participants&#146;
records. DTC will have no knowledge of your individual ownership of the notes. DTC&#146;s records will show only the identity of the direct participants and the amount of the notes held by or through them. You will not receive a written confirmation
of your purchase or sale or any periodic account statement directly from DTC. You should instead receive these from your direct or indirect participant. As a result, the direct or indirect participants are responsible for keeping accurate account of
the holdings of their customers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered holder and owner of a global security, DTC or such nominee, as the
case may be, will be considered the sole legal owner of the New Notes represented by the global security for all purposes under the Indenture, the New Notes and applicable law. Except as set forth below, owners of beneficial interests in a global
security will not be entitled to receive certificated New Notes and will not be considered to be the owners or holders of any New Notes represented by the global security. We understand that under existing industry practice, in the event an owner of
a beneficial interest in a global security desires to take any actions that DTC, as the holder of the global security, is entitled to take, DTC would authorize the participants to take such action, and that participants would authorize beneficial
owners owning through such participants to take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them. No beneficial owner of an interest in a global security will be able to transfer such interest except
in accordance with DTC&#146;s applicable procedures, in addition to those provided for under the Indenture. Because DTC can only act on behalf of participants, who in turn act on behalf of others, the ability of a person having a beneficial interest
in a global security to pledge that interest to persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise to take actions in respect of that interest, may be impaired by the lack of a physical certificate representing that interest. </P>

DTC&#146;s nominee. The trustee and we will treat DTC&#146;s nominee as the owner of each global security for all purposes. Accordingly, the trustee, any paying agent and we will have no direct responsibility or liability to pay amounts due on a
global security to you or any other beneficial owners in that global security. Any redemption notices will be sent by us directly to DTC, which will, in turn, inform the direct participants (or the indirect participants), which will then contact you
as a beneficial holder. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">It is DTC&#146;s current practice, upon receipt of any payment of principal, interest, redemption prices, distributions or
liquidation amounts, to credit direct participants&#146; accounts proportionately on the payment date based on their holdings. In addition, it is DTC&#146;s current practice to pass through any consenting or voting rights to such participants by
using an omnibus proxy. Those participants will, in turn, make payments to and solicit votes from you, the beneficial owner of notes, based on their customary practices. Payments to you will be the responsibility of the participants and not of DTC,

New Notes against payment for them. The payment will then be reflected in the account of the Clearstream or Euroclear participant the following day, with the proceeds back-valued to the value date, which would be the preceding day, when settlement
occurs in New York. If settlement is not completed on the intended value date, that is, the trade fails, proceeds credited to the Clearstream or Euroclear participant&#146;s account will instead be valued as of the actual settlement date. </P>

Exchange </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Under general principles of U.S. federal income tax law, the modification of a debt instrument can give rise to an exchange under
Section&nbsp;1001 of the Code upon which gain or loss is realized if the modified debt instrument differs materially either in kind or in extent from the original debt instrument. In this regard, governing Treasury regulations (the
&#147;Modification Regulations&#148;) provide that, as a general rule, an exchange occurs when, based on all the facts and circumstances and taking into account all changes in the terms of the debt instrument collectively (other than certain
specified changes), the legal rights or obligations that are altered, and the degree to which they are altered, are economically significant (a &#147;significant modification&#148;). The Modification Regulations can apply to any modification of a
debt instrument, regardless of the form of the modification, including an exchange of a new debt instrument for an existing debt instrument. Therefore, the Modification Regulations are relevant in determining the consequences of an exchange of
Existing Notes for New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Under the Modification Regulations, a change in yield of a debt instrument is a
significant modification if the yield of the modified debt instrument varies from the yield on the unmodified instrument (determined as of the date of the modification) by more than the greater of (i) 25 basis points and (ii) 5&nbsp;percent of the
annual yield of the unmodified instrument. For this purpose, the yield of the modified debt instrument is the annual yield of a debt instrument with (i)&nbsp;an issue price equal to the adjusted issue price of the unmodified debt instrument on the
date of the modification (increased by accrued but unpaid interest and decreased by payments made to the holder as consideration for the modification) and (ii)&nbsp;payments equal to the payments on the modified debt instrument from the date of the
modification. The Modification Regulations also provide that, in general, a modification of a debt instrument that results in a material deferral of scheduled payments, including an extension of the final maturity date, is a significant
modification. However, the Modification Regulations provide that a deferral is not a material deferral if the deferred payments are unconditionally payable no later than at the end of a safe harbor period which begins on the original due date of the
first scheduled payment that is deferred and extends for a period equal to the lesser of (i)&nbsp;five years or (ii) 50% of the original term of the debt instrument. </P>

will, in each case, constitute a significant modification under the Modification Regulations. Therefore, you will generally recognize gain or loss in full upon the exchange of Existing Notes for New Notes unless the exchange qualifies as a
recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">In order for the exchange to qualify as a recapitalization, the Existing Notes surrendered
and the New Notes received must be treated as &#147;securities&#148; under the relevant provisions of the Code. Neither the Code nor the Treasury regulations define the term security. Whether a debt instrument is a security is based on all of the
facts and circumstances, but most authorities have held that the term to maturity </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">
of the debt instrument is one of the most significant factors. In this regard, debt instruments with a term of ten years or more generally have qualified as securities, whereas debt instruments
with a term of less than five years generally have not qualified as securities. Each series of Existing Notes had an initial term of more than ten years and the New Notes will have a term of more than ten years.<I> </I>Thus, although the matter is
not free from doubt, we believe, and the following discussion assumes, that the Existing Notes and the New Notes would both be treated as securities and that the exchange of Existing Notes for New Notes will be treated as a recapitalization for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurance, however, that the IRS will not challenge the treatment of the exchange of Existing Notes for New Notes as a recapitalization, and any such challenge, if successful, would generally result in
consequences different than those described below. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the qualification of the exchange as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Upon the exchange of Existing Notes for New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offers, you will, subject to the discussions under &#147;&#151;Early Exchange
Premium&#148; and &#147;&#151;Cash in Lieu of Fractional New Notes,&#148; generally recognize gain (but not loss) equal to the lesser of (i)&nbsp;the amount of any gain realized on the exchange, computed in the manner described below, and
(ii)&nbsp;cash received in the exchange (other than cash paid in respect of accrued and unpaid interest on the Existing Notes, the treatment of which is described below under &#147;&#151;Accrued and Unpaid Interest&#148;). The gain, if any, realized
on the exchange will equal the difference between (i)&nbsp;the sum of the &#147;issue price&#148; of the New Notes received (as described below under &#147;&#151;Issue Price of the New Notes&#148;) and the cash received (other than cash paid in
respect of accrued and unpaid interest on the Existing Notes), and (ii)&nbsp;your adjusted tax basis in the Existing Notes surrendered. Your adjusted tax basis in the Existing Notes will generally equal the amount paid therefor, increased by market
discount, if any, previously included in income and reduced by any bond premium previously amortized. Subject to the discussions under &#147;&#151;Market Discount&#148; and &#147;&#151;Early Exchange Premium,&#148; any gain recognized in the
exchange will be capital gain and will be long-term capital gain if you held the Existing Notes for more than one year prior to the date of the exchange. Long-term capital gains of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> U.S. Holders
(including individuals) are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. You will have an initial tax basis in the New Notes equal to your adjusted tax basis in the Existing Notes surrendered in the exchange, increased by any gain that you recognize in
the exchange, and decreased by any cash received in the exchange (other than cash paid in respect of accrued and unpaid interest on the Existing Notes). In addition, your holding period for the New Notes will include your holding period for the
Existing Notes surrendered in the Exchange Offers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">If you hold Existing Notes with differing tax bases and/or holding periods, the preceding rules

of the New Notes will depend on whether the New Notes and/or the Existing Notes exchanged therefor are &#147;publicly traded&#148; for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the New Notes are publicly traded, they generally will have an issue price
equal to their fair market value on the date of issuance. We expect that the New Notes will be publicly traded, and, thus, that each series of New Notes will have an issue price equal to their fair market value on the date of issuance. If we
determine that the New Notes are publicly traded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we will make that determination as well as our determination of the fair market value of the New Notes available to holders in a commercially reasonable fashion,
including by electronic publication, within 90 days of the date that the New Notes are issued. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL"><I>Market Discount.</I> You will be considered to

discount described above) if their stated principal amount (or their issue price if the New Notes are issued with original issue discount as described below) exceeds your initial tax basis in such New Notes by more than a <I>de minimis</I> amount.

before the Early Exchange Time, you will be eligible to receive the Early Exchange Premium. Although the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the receipt of the Early Exchange Premium is unclear, we intend to take the position, and this discussion
assumes, that the Early Exchange Premium should be treated as additional consideration received in exchange for the Existing Notes. However, the IRS could take the position that the Early Exchange Premium instead should be treated as a separate fee

received fractional New Notes corresponding to such fractional amounts pursuant to the Exchange Offers and then as having had those fractional New Notes sold for cash. As a result, you will generally recognize gain or loss on the receipt of cash in
lieu of fractional New Notes, which gain or loss will generally be determined as described below under &#147;&#151;Tax Consequences of the Ownership of the New Notes&#151;Sale, Exchange or Retirement of the New Notes.&#148; </P>

the New Notes of a series (as described above under &#147;&#151;Tax Consequences of the Exchange&#151;Issue Price of the New Notes&#148;) is less than their stated principal amount by more than a specified <I>de minimis </I>amount, such New Notes
will be treated as issued with original issue discount (&#147;OID&#148;) in an amount equal to such difference. For these purposes, the discount will be considered to exceed the <I>de minimis </I>threshold if it is at least equal to 0.25% of the
stated principal amount of the New Notes multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity from the issue date of the New Notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">You must

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The amount of OID, if any, that you must include in income with respect to a New Note will generally
equal the sum of the &#147;daily portions&#148; of OID with respect to the New Note for each day during the taxable year or portion of the taxable year in which you held such New Note (&#147;accrued OID&#148;). The daily portion is determined by
allocating to each day in each &#147;accrual period&#148; a pro rata portion of the OID allocable to that accrual period. The &#147;accrual period&#148; for a New Note may be of any length and may vary in length over the term of the New Note,
provided that each accrual period is no longer than one year and each scheduled payment of principal or interest occurs on the first day or the final day of an accrual period. The amount of OID allocable to any accrual period other than the final
accrual period is an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i)&nbsp;the product of the New Note&#146;s adjusted issue price at the beginning of such accrual period and its yield to maturity (determined on the basis of compounding at the close of
each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period) over (ii)&nbsp;the aggregate of all stated interest allocable to the accrual period. OID allocable to a final accrual period is the difference between the amount payable
at maturity (other than a payment of stated interest) and the adjusted issue price of the New Note at the beginning of the final accrual period. The adjusted issue price of a New Note at the beginning of any accrual period is equal to its issue
price, increased by the accrued OID, if any, for each prior accrual period (determined without regard to the amortization of any acquisition premium or amortizable bond premium, as discussed below). Under these rules, you generally will have to
include in income increasingly greater amounts of OID in successive accrual periods. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">If your initial tax basis in a New Note is greater than its
issue price and less than or equal to its stated principal amount, the New Note will be considered to have been issued to you at an &#147;acquisition premium.&#148; Under the acquisition premium rules, the amount of OID that you must include in
gross income with respect to the New Note for any taxable year will be reduced by the portion of the acquisition premium properly allocable to that year. </P>

acquire the New Note, and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. You should consult your tax advisor about this election. This discussion assumes this election is not made. </P>

acquired the New Note with &#147;amortizable bond premium&#148; and, in the case of any New Notes issued with OID, you will not be required to include any OID in income. You generally may elect to amortize the premium over the remaining term of the
New Note on a constant yield method as an offset to interest when includible in income under your regular accounting method. However, because the New Notes may be redeemed by us prior to maturity at a premium, special rules apply that may reduce,
eliminate or defer the amount of premium that you may amortize with respect to a New Note. You should consult your tax advisor about these special rules. If you do not elect to amortize the premium, that premium will decrease the gain or increase
the loss you would otherwise recognize on maturity or disposition of the New Note. An election to amortize premium on a constant yield method will also apply to all other taxable debt instruments held or subsequently acquired by you on or after the
first day of the first taxable year for which the election is made. Such an election may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. You should consult your tax advisor about this election. </P>

Indemnification of Directors and Officers. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">Sections 23B.08.510 and 23B.08.570 of the Washington Business Corporation Act (&#147;WBCA&#148;)
authorizes Washington corporations to indemnify their officers and directors under certain circumstances against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings involving them as a result of their service as an officer or director.
Section&nbsp;23B.08.560 of the WBCA authorizes a corporation by provision in its articles of incorporation to indemnify or agree to indemnify a director made a party to a proceeding, or obligate itself to advance or reimburse expenses incurred in a
proceeding, without regard to the limitations imposed by Sections 23B.08.510 through .550 of the WBCA; provided, however, that no such indemnity shall be made for or on account of (a)&nbsp;acts or omissions of the director finally adjudged to be
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (b)&nbsp;conduct of the director finally adjudged to be in violation of Section&nbsp;23B.08.310 of the WBCA (relating to unlawful distributions) or (c)&nbsp;any transaction with respect to which
it was finally adjudged that the director personally received a benefit in money, property, or services to which the director is not legally entitled. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation require indemnification of the Registrant&#146;s officers and directors and
advancement of expenses to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law. The Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide for procedures for those seeking indemnification and/or advancement of expenses. In
addition, as authorized by Section&nbsp;23B.08.320 of the WBCA, the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation contain a provision eliminating the personal liability of directors to the Registrant or its shareholders for
monetary damages for conduct as a director, except for (a)&nbsp;omissions involving intentional misconduct by the director or a knowing violation of law by the director, (b)&nbsp;conduct violating Section&nbsp;23B.08.310 of the WBCA or (c)&nbsp;any
transaction from which the director will personally receive a benefit in money, property or services to which the director is not legally entitled. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL">The Registrant has established an indemnification trust (&#147;2016 Directors&#146; Trust&#148;) to fund the Registrant&#146;s obligations to indemnify
and/or advance expenses to directors arising from their board service in the event the Registrant does not or is financially unable to provide the indemnification and/or advancement. As required by the 2016 Directors&#146; Trust agreement, the
Registrant has funded a minimum balance of principal assets of no less than $50&nbsp;million in the trust. The Registrant also has an indemnification trust (&#147;2016 Officers&#146; Trust&#148;) that funds the Registrant&#146;s indemnification
obligations to certain past and present officers arising from their activities as such. As required by the 2016 Officers&#146; Trust agreement, the Registrant has funded a minimum balance of principal assets of no less than $50&nbsp;million in the
trust. The 2016 Directors&#146; Trust and 2016 Officers&#146; Trust are successors to certain trusts originally established in 1993, and amended from time to time, to fund Registrant&#146;s indemnification obligations to directors and officers. The
Registrant has also entered into separate indemnification agreements with certain of its directors and executive officers. </P>

interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting
Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its
