December&nbsp;31, 2016, which is available from the SEC. You should consider the limitations on, and risks associated with, forward-looking statements and not unduly rely on the accuracy of predictions contained in such forward-looking statements.

political events that are important in determining the existence, magnitude and longevity of these risks and their effects. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates between two currencies result from the interaction over time of many factors
directly or indirectly affecting economic and political conditions in the countries issuing such currencies, and economic and political developments globally and in other relevant countries. Foreign currency exchange rates may be affected by, among
other factors, existing and expected rates of inflation, existing and expected interest rate levels, the balance of payments between countries, and the extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in various countries. All of these factors are, in
turn, sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of various countries important to international trade and finance. Moreover, the recent global economic crisis and the actions taken or to be taken by various
national governments in response to the crisis could significantly affect the exchange rates between the euro and the investor&#146;s home currency. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The exchange rates of an investor&#146;s home currency for euros and the fluctuations in those exchange rates that have occurred in the past
are not necessarily indicative of the exchange rates or the fluctuations therein that may occur in the future. Depreciation of the euro against the investor&#146;s home currency would result in a decrease in the investor&#146;s home currency
equivalent yield on a note, in the investor&#146;s home currency equivalent of the principal payable at the maturity of that note and generally in the investor&#146;s home currency equivalent market value of that note. Appreciation of the euro in
relation to the investor&#146;s home currency would have the opposite effects. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The European Union or one or more of its member states may, in the future, impose exchange
controls and modify any exchange controls imposed, which controls could affect exchange rates, as well as the availability of euros at the time of payment of principal of, interest on, or any redemption payment or additional amounts with respect to,
the notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This description of foreign exchange risks does not describe all the risks of an investment in securities, including, in
particular, the notes, that are denominated or payable in a currency other than an investor&#146;s home currency. You should consult your own financial and legal advisors as to the risks involved in an investment in the notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The notes permit us to make payments in U.S. dollars if we are unable to obtain euros and market perceptions concerning the instability of the euro could
materially adversely affect the value of the notes. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the euro is unavailable to us due to the imposition of exchange controls or
other circumstances beyond our control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or
within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the euro is again available to us or so used. In such circumstances, the amount payable on any date in euros will be converted
into U.S. dollars on the basis of the then most recently available market exchange rate for euros, as determined by us in our sole discretion. Any payment in respect of the notes so made in U.S. dollars will not constitute an event of default under
the notes or the indenture governing the notes. This exchange rate may be materially less favorable than the rate in effect at the time the notes were issued or as would be determined by applicable law. Such developments, or market perceptions
concerning these and related issues, could materially adversely affect the value of the notes and you may lose a significant amount of your investment in the notes. See &#147;Exchange Rates.&#148; </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indenture is, and the notes will be, governed by the laws of the State of New York. Under New York law, a New York state court rendering a
judgment on the notes would be required to render the judgment in euros. However, the judgment would be converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment. Consequently, in a lawsuit for payment on the
notes, investors would bear currency exchange risk until a New York state court judgment is entered, which could be a significant amount of time. A federal court sitting in New York with diversity jurisdiction over a dispute arising in connection
with the notes would apply New York law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In courts outside of New York, investors may not be able to obtain a judgment in a currency
other than U.S. dollars. For example, a judgment for money in an action based on the notes in many other U.S. federal or state courts ordinarily would be enforced in the United States only in U.S. dollars. The date used to determine the rate of
conversion of euro into U.S. dollars would depend upon various factors, including which court renders the judgment and when the judgment is rendered. </P>

thereof. It is possible that the clearing systems may process trades that could result in amounts being held in denominations smaller than the minimum denominations. If definitive notes are required to be issued in relation to such notes in
accordance with the provisions of the relevant global notes, a holder who does not have the minimum denomination or any integral multiple of &#128;1,000 in excess thereof in its account with the relevant clearing system at the relevant time may not

entitled to receive physical delivery of notes in definitive form. Except as provided below, beneficial owners will not be considered the owners or holders of the notes under the indenture, including for purposes of receiving any reports delivered
by us or the trustee pursuant to the indenture. Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of the clearing systems and, if such person is not a participant of the clearing systems, on the procedures of the participant through
which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture. Under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders or a beneficial owner desires to give or take any action which a holder is entitled
to give or take under the indenture, the clearing systems would authorize their participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take action and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through the participants to
give or take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners. Conveyance of notices and other communications by the clearing systems to their participants, by the participants to indirect participants and by the
participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain
purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in certificated form. These limits and laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in global notes. </P>

transactions between Euroclear participants and between Euroclear participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of
simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear provides various other services, including securities lending and borrowing, and interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. All operations are conducted by Euroclear Bank,
S.A./N.V. and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with Euroclear Bank, not the cooperative. The cooperative establishes policy for Euroclear on behalf of Euroclear participants. Euroclear participants
include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the underwriters (&#147;Euroclear participants&#148;). Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other

clearance accounts and cash accounts with the Euroclear Bank are governed by the Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System, and applicable Belgian law (collectively, the
&#147;Euroclear terms and conditions&#148;). The Euroclear terms and conditions govern transfers of securities and cash within Euroclear, withdrawals of securities and cash from Euroclear, and receipts of payment with respect to securities in
Euroclear. All securities in Euroclear are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts. The Euroclear Bank acts under the Euroclear terms and conditions only on behalf of Euroclear

Clearstream also deals with domestic securities markets in several countries. As a professional depositary, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Monetary Institute. Clearstream participants are financial institutions around the

None of us, the trustee, any underwriter and any affiliate of any of the above or any person by whom any of the above is controlled (as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933) will have any responsibility or liability for any records

for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, payments or accruals of stated interest on a note will be taxable to you as ordinary interest income at the time that you receive or accrue such amounts (in accordance with your regular method of
tax accounting). If you use the cash method of tax accounting, the amount of interest income you will realize will be the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency payment based on the exchange rate in effect on the date you receive the payment,
regardless of whether you convert the payment into U.S. dollars. However, you will realize foreign currency gain or loss upon conversion of the payment into U.S. dollars if the exchange rate changes between the date you receive the payment and the
date you convert it into U.S. dollars. This foreign currency gain or loss will be treated as ordinary income or loss, but generally will not be treated as an adjustment to interest income received on the note. If you are an accrual-basis U.S. holder
of a note, the amount of interest income you will realize will be based on the average exchange rate in effect during the interest accrual period (or with respect to an interest accrual period that spans two taxable years, at the average exchange
rate for the partial period within the taxable year). Alternatively, as an accrual-basis U.S. holder, you may elect to translate all interest income on foreign currency-denominated notes at the spot rate on the last day of the accrual period (or the
last day of the taxable year, in the case of an accrual period that spans more than one taxable year) or on the date that you receive the interest payment if that date is within five business days of the end of the accrual period. If you make this
election, you must apply it consistently to all debt instruments from year to year and you cannot change the election without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;). If you use the accrual method of accounting for tax
purposes, you will recognize foreign currency gain or loss on the receipt of a foreign currency interest payment if the exchange rate in effect on the date the payment is received differs from the rate applicable to the previous accrual of that
interest income. This foreign currency gain or loss will be treated as ordinary income or loss, but generally will not be treated as an adjustment to interest income received on the note. If you receive a payment of interest in U.S. dollars (as
described above under &#147;The Offering&#148;), then the U.S. dollar amount received may not be equal to the U.S. dollar amount required to be recognized as interest income under the rules discussed above. Any difference between such amounts will
give rise to foreign currency gain or loss and be taxed as described above. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When you sell or exchange a note, or if a note that you hold is retired or otherwise disposed of in a taxable transaction, you generally will
recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount you realize on the transaction (less any accrued interest, which will be subject to tax in the manner described above under &#147;Payments or Accruals of Interest&#148;) and your
adjusted tax basis in the note. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you sell or exchange a note for foreign currency, or receive foreign currency on the retirement or
other taxable disposition of a note, the amount you will realize for U.S. tax purposes generally will be the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency that you receive calculated at the exchange rate in effect on the date the note is disposed of or
retired. If you dispose of a note, the notes are traded on an established securities market, and you are a cash-basis U.S. holder (or if you are an accrual-basis holder that makes a special election), you will determine the U.S. dollar value of the
amount realized by translating the amount received at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Your adjusted tax basis in a note generally will equal the cost of the note to you, reduced by any principal payments you previously received
in respect of the note. If you purchase a note using foreign currency, the cost to you (and therefore generally your initial tax basis) will be the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency amount paid on the date of purchase calculated at the
exchange rate in effect on that date. If the notes are traded on an established securities market and you are a cash-basis taxpayer (or if you are an accrual-basis taxpayer that makes a special election), you will determine the U.S. dollar value of
the cost of the note by translating the amount of the foreign currency that you paid for the note at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of your purchase. If you convert U.S. dollars into a foreign currency and then immediately use that
foreign currency to purchase a note, you generally will not have any taxable foreign currency gain or loss as a result of the conversion or purchase. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The special election available to you if you are an accrual-basis taxpayer in respect of the purchase and sale of foreign currency-denominated
notes traded on an established securities market, which is discussed in the two preceding paragraphs, must be applied consistently to all debt instruments from year to year and cannot be changed without the consent of the IRS. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as discussed below with respect to foreign currency gain or loss, the gain or loss that you recognize on the sale, exchange, retirement
or other disposition of a note generally will be capital gain or loss. The gain or loss on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of a note will be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the note for more than one year on the
date of disposition. Net long-term capital gain recognized by an individual U.S. holder currently is eligible to be taxed at a lower rate than net short-term capital gain or ordinary income. The ability of U.S. holders to offset capital losses
against ordinary income is limited. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Despite the foregoing, the gain or loss that you recognize on the sale, exchange, retirement or other

to you or any non-U.S. person or entity that receives such income (a &#147;non-U.S. payee&#148;) on your behalf, unless you and each non-U.S. payee in the payment chain comply with the applicable information reporting, account identification,
withholding, certification and other FATCA-related requirements (including any intergovernmental agreement entered into by the United States and another applicable jurisdiction to facilitate the application and implementation of FATCA (an
&#147;IGA&#148;)). In the case of a payee that is a non-U.S. financial institution (for example, a clearing system, custodian, nominee or broker), withholding generally will not be imposed if the financial institution complies with the requirements
imposed by FATCA to collect and report (to the U.S. or another relevant taxing authority) substantial information regarding such institution&#146;s U.S. account holders (which would include some account holders that are non-U.S. entities but have
U.S. owners). Other payees, including individuals, may be required to provide proof of tax residence or waivers of confidentiality laws and/or, in the case of non-U.S. entities, certification or information relating to their U.S. ownership. </P>

A payment chain may consist of a number of parties, including a paying agent, a clearing system, each of the clearing system&#146;s participants and a non-U.S. bank or broker through which you hold the notes. Accordingly, if you receive payments
through a payment chain that includes one or more non-U.S. payees the payment could be subject to FATCA Withholding if any non-U.S. payee in the payment chain fails to comply with the FATCA requirements and is subject to withholding. This would be

thereby reducing the likelihood that FATCA Withholding will occur for investors in (or investors that indirectly hold notes through financial institutions in) those countries. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">FATCA Withholding could apply to all interest (including original issue discount, if any) and other periodic payments made on the notes. In

additional amounts in respect of FATCA Withholding, so if FATCA Withholding applies, you will receive less than the amount that you would have otherwise received. </P>

participating Member States and the legality of the proposal is uncertain.&nbsp;It may therefore be altered prior to any implementation, and/or certain of the participating Member States may decide to withdraw. Additional EU Member States may decide

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standards update that changes the disclosure requirement for
reporting investments at fair value. This update removes the requirement to categorize investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value (&#147;NAV&#148;) per share practical expedient within the fair value hierarchy. These
disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure fair value using the practical expedient. Substantially all of our Level 3 pension and postretirement benefit plan assets were measured using NAV as a practical
expedient. This guidance became effective for us in the first quarter of 2016 and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. </P>

as trustee. We have summarized the material provisions of the indenture below. The indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-108272), filed with the SEC on August&nbsp;27, 2003, and you should read the
indenture for provisions that may be important to you. In the summary below, we have included references to section numbers of the indenture so that you can easily locate these provisions. Capitalized terms used in the summary have the meaning

aggregate principal amount of debt securities that we may issue and provides that we may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series, in each case with the same or various maturities, at par or at a discount. We may issue
additional debt securities of a particular series without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of such series outstanding at the time of the issuance. Any such additional debt securities, together with all other outstanding debt
securities of that series, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the indenture. The indenture also generally does not limit our ability to incur additional debt and does not contain financial or similar restrictive covenants. The
debt securities will be unsecured and will rank equally with all of our other senior debt and senior to our subordinated debt, if any. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the indenture does not contain any debt covenants or other provisions that would

name of DTC&#146;s partnership nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of debt securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. or such
other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the debt securities; DTC&#146;s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the debt
securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The direct and indirect participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Delivery of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants, and by direct and
indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Redemption notices, if any, will be sent to DTC. If less than all of
the debt securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC&#146;s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in such issue to be redeemed. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither DTC nor Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to debt securities unless authorized by a
direct participant in accordance with DTC&#146;s procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to the issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co.&#146;s consenting or voting
rights to those direct participants to whose accounts debt securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depositary with respect to the debt securities at any time by giving reasonable
notice to the issuer or its agent. Under these circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depositary is not obtained, certificates for the debt securities are required to be printed and delivered. We may decide to discontinue the use of
the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depositary). In that event, certificates for the debt securities will be printed and delivered to DTC. If an event of default with respect to the debt securities has
occurred and is continuing, a holder may request that certificates for the debt securities be registered in such holder&#146;s names. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As

issuer or any of their agents, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payments to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) are the

through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee, with respect to participants&#146; interests, or any participant, with respect to interests of persons held by the participant on their behalf. Payments, transfers, deliveries, exchanges, and other
matters relating to beneficial interests in global security certificates may be subject to various policies and procedures adopted by DTC from time to time. Neither we nor any agent for us will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of
DTC&#146;s or any direct or indirect participant&#146;s records relating to, or for payments made on account of, beneficial interests in global security certificates, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC&#146;s records or any
direct or indirect participant&#146;s records relating to these beneficial ownership interests. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because DTC can act only on behalf of direct participants, who in turn act only on behalf of direct or indirect participants, and certain
banks, trust companies and other persons approved by it, the ability of a beneficial owner of debt securities to pledge the debt securities to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system may be limited due to the unavailability of

is DTC, you may hold interests in the global debt securities through Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (&#147;Euroclear&#148;) or Clearstream Banking, soci&eacute;t&eacute; anonyme (&#147;Clearstream&#148;), in each case,
as a participant in DTC. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests on behalf of their participants through customers&#146; securities accounts in Clearstream&#146;s and Euroclear&#146;s names on the books of their respective depositaries, which
in turn will hold interests in customers&#146; securities accounts in the depositaries&#146; names on the books of DTC. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Payments,
deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices and other matters relating to the debt securities made through Euroclear or Clearstream must comply with the rules and procedures of those systems. Those systems could change their rules and procedures at
any time. The Company has no control over those systems or their participants, and the Company takes no responsibility for their activities. Transactions between participants in Euroclear or Clearstream, on the one hand, and other participants in
DTC, on the other hand, would also be subject to DTC&#146;s rules and procedures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Investors will be able to make and receive through
Euroclear and Clearstream payments, deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices and other transactions involving any securities held through those systems only on days when those systems are open for business. Those systems may not be open for

differences, U.S.&nbsp;investors who hold their interests in the debt securities through Euroclear or Clearstream and wish, on a particular day, to transfer their interests, or to receive or make a payment or delivery or exercise any other right
with respect to their interests, may find that the transaction will not be effected until the next business day in Brussels or Luxembourg, as applicable. Thus, investors who wish to exercise rights that expire on a particular day may need to act
before such date. In addition, investors who hold their interests through both DTC and Euroclear or Clearstream may need to make special arrangements to finance any purchase or sales of their interests between the U.S.&nbsp;and European clearing
systems, and those transactions may settle later than transactions within one clearing system. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:7%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The information in this section concerning
