receive a credit for the notes on the records of DTC. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of the notes, which we refer to as the &#147;beneficial owner,&#148; is in turn to be recorded on the DTC Participants&#146; records. Beneficial
owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings from the DTC Direct
or DTC Indirect Participant through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the global notes will be effected only through entries made on the books of DTC Participants acting on behalf of
beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the global notes, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the notes is discontinued. </FONT></P>

Participants&#146; accounts with the respective principal or face amounts of the relevant series of notes beneficially owned by the DTC Participants. Any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the notes will designate
the accounts to be credited. Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global note will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC, with respect to interests of DTC

nominee effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the notes; DTC&#146;s records reflect only the identity of the DTC Direct Participants to whose accounts such notes are credited, which may or
may not be the beneficial owners. The DTC Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

represented by the global note for all purposes under the indenture. Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in a global note will not be entitled to have the book-entry notes represented by the notes registered in their names,
will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of notes in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the notes under the indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a global note must
rely on the procedures of DTC for that global note and, if that person is not a DTC Participant, on the procedures of the DTC Participant through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture. The laws of
some jurisdictions may require that some purchasers of notes take physical delivery of these notes in definitive form. Such laws may impair the ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in a global note. </FONT></P>

Mizuho Securities USA Inc. and Morgan Stanley &amp; Co. LLC or their respective affiliates may purchase and sell each series of notes in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover
positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the stabilizing underwriters of a greater number of notes than they are required to purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for
the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the notes while the offering is in progress. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The
