now in effect, all of which are subject to change or different interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion is for general information only and does not purport to address all of the possible federal income tax consequences,
including any U.S. federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax considerations, or any state, local or foreign tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the notes. It is limited to investors who purchase the notes in this
offering at the offering price, and who will hold the notes as capital assets for federal income tax purposes. It does not address all of the federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular investors in light of their unique
circumstances or to certain types of investors that may be subject to special rules (such as dealers in securities or other persons that generally mark their securities to market for U.S. federal income tax purposes, insurance companies, financial
institutions, banks, tax-exempt entities, U.S. expatriates and entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or to investors that will hold the notes as a part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale or synthetic security
transaction for federal income tax purposes, or investors who are subject to the alternative minimum tax or whose &#147;functional currency&#148; is not the U.S. dollar, all of whom may be subject to special treatment under federal income tax laws.
Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the federal income tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of the notes, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any state, local, foreign

time such payments are accrued or received in accordance with such holder&#146;s method of accounting for federal income tax purposes. The notes are not expected to be issued with more than a <I>de minimis</I> amount of original issue discount.
However, if the notes&#146; principal amount exceeds their issue price by at least a prescribed <I>de minimis</I> amount then, in addition to including stated interest in income, each U.S. holder generally will be required to include such excess in
its income as it accrues, regardless of its regular method of accounting, using a constant yield method, possibly before such U.S. holder receives any payment attributable to such income. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:8px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:ARIAL" SIZE="2"><I>Disposition of Notes.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of a note generally will be a taxable event.
A U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (a)&nbsp;the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received upon such sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of the note (except
to the extent attributable to accrued interest which, if not already included in such U.S. holder&#146;s income, will be taxable as interest income) and (b)&nbsp;the U.S. holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the note. A U.S. holder&#146;s adjusted
tax basis in a note will generally equal the holder&#146;s cost of purchasing the note. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss, and will be long term capital gain or loss if the holder has held the notes for more than one year at the time of
the sale or other disposition. Net long-term capital gain of certain non-corporate U.S. holders is generally subject to preferential rates of tax. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. </FONT></P>

credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the accounts of the participants with the respective principal amounts of the book-entry debt securities represented by the global debt security beneficially owned by such participants. The
accounts to be credited will be designated by any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the book-entry debt securities. Ownership of book-entry debt securities will be shown on, and the transfer of the ownership
interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary for the related global debt security (with respect to interests of participants) and on the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons holding through

herein, beneficial owners of book-entry debt securities will not be entitled to have securities registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of a certificate in definitive form representing securities and
will not be considered the owners or holders of those securities under the indenture. Accordingly, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture, each person beneficially owning book-entry debt securities must rely on the procedures of the
Depositary for the related global debt security and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which that person owns its interest. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
