except in limited circumstances. An investment in the notes by a purchaser whose home currency is not yen entails significant risks. These risks include the possibility of significant changes in rates of exchange between the holder&#146;s home
currency and yen and the possibility of the imposition or subsequent modification of foreign exchange controls. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">These risks
generally depend on factors over which we have no control, such as economic, financial and political events and the supply of and demand for the relevant currencies. In the past, rates of exchange between yen and certain currencies have been highly
volatile, and each holder should be aware that volatility may occur in the future. Fluctuations in any particular exchange rate that have occurred in the past, however, are not necessarily indicative of fluctuations in the rate that may occur during
the term of the notes. Depreciation of yen against the holder&#146;s home currency would result in a decrease in the effective yield of the notes below its coupon rate and, in certain circumstances, could result in a loss to the holder. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The indenture is, and the notes will be, governed by the laws of the State of New York. Under New&nbsp;York law, a New York state court
rendering a judgment on the notes would be required to render the judgment in yen. 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 substantial period of time. A Federal court sitting in New York with diversity jurisdiction over a dispute arising
in connection with the notes would apply the foregoing New York law. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">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 yen into U.S. dollars would depend upon various factors, including which court renders the judgment and when the judgment is rendered. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If you use the cash method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes and receive a payment of stated interest on the notes in yen, you will recognize interest income equal to the U.S. dollar
value of the interest payment, based on the spot rate on the date of receipt, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. A cash method U.S. holder will not realize foreign currency exchange gain or loss with respect to

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">If you use the accrual method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes and receive a payment of stated interest on the notes in yen, you may determine the amount recognized with respect to such

dollars at the average rate in effect during the interest accrual period (or, with respect to an accrual period that spans two taxable years, at the average rate for the partial period within the taxable year). Alternatively, you may make an
election (which must be applied consistently to all debt instruments held by you at the beginning of the first taxable year to which the election applies or thereafter acquired by you, and cannot be changed without the consent of the IRS) to
translate accrued interest income at the spot rate of exchange on the last day of the accrual period (or the last day of the taxable year in the case of a partial accrual period), or at the spot rate on the date of receipt, if that date is within
five business days of the last day of the accrual period. If you are a U.S. holder that uses the accrual method of accounting for tax purposes, you will recognize foreign currency gain or loss, on the date interest is received, equal to the
difference between the U.S. dollar value of such payment, determined at the spot rate on the date the payment is received, and the U.S. dollar value of the interest income previously included in respect of such payment. This exchange gain or loss

&#147;holders&#148; of those debt securities. These persons are the legal holders of the debt securities. We refer to those who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in debt securities that are not registered in their own names as
indirect holders of those debt securities. As we discuss below, indirect holders are not legal holders, and investors in debt securities issued as global securities or in street name will be indirect holders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our obligations, as well as the obligations of the trustee and those of any third parties employed by us or the trustee, run only to the
legal, or registered, holders of the debt securities. We do not have obligations to investors who hold beneficial interests in global securities, or hold the debt securities in street name or by any other indirect means. This will be the case
whether an investor chooses to be an indirect holder of a debt security or has no choice because we are issuing the debt securities only in global form. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For example, once we make a payment or give a notice to the holder, we have no further responsibility for the delivery of the payment or
notice even if that registered holder is required, under agreements with depositary participants or customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect holders but does not do so. Similarly, if we want to obtain the approval of the holders of a
series of debt securities for any purpose&#151;for example, to amend the indenture or to relieve us of the consequences of a default or of our obligation to comply with a particular provision of the indenture&#151;we would seek the approval only
from the holders, and not the indirect holders, of the debt securities. Whether and how the holders contact the indirect holders is up to the holders. </P>

each debt security as a global security in book-entry form only, unless we specify otherwise in a prospectus supplement.&nbsp;A global security represents one or any other number of individual debt securities. Generally, all debt securities
represented by the same global securities will have the same terms. We may, however, issue a global security that represents multiple debt securities that have different terms and are issued at different times. We call this kind of global security a
master global security. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each debt security issued in book-entry form will be represented by a global security that we deposit with and
register in the name of a financial institution or its nominee that we select. The financial institution that we select for this purpose is called the depositary. Unless we specify otherwise in a prospectus supplement, The Depository Trust Company,
New York, New York, known as DTC, will be the depositary for all debt securities issued in book-entry form. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A global security may not be
transferred to or registered in the name of anyone other than the depositary or its nominee, unless special termination situations arise. We describe those situations below under &#147;&#151;Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be
Terminated.&#148;&nbsp;As a result of these arrangements, the depositary, or its nominee, will be the sole registered owner and holder of all debt securities represented by a global security, and investors will be permitted to own only beneficial
interests in a global security.&nbsp;Beneficial interests must be held by means of an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution that in turn has an account with the depositary or with another institution that does. Thus, an investor
whose security is represented by a global security will not be a holder of the debt security, but only an indirect holder of a beneficial interest in the global security. </P>

a result, investors will not own debt securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the depositary&#146;s book-entry system or holds

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Considerations Relating to DTC </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC has informed us that it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a &#147;banking organization&#148;
within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a &#147;clearing 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 holds securities that DTC participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among DTC participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges in deposited
securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in DTC participants&#146; accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. DTC participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies,
and clearing corporations, and may include other organizations. Indirect access to the DTC system also is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers, and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a
participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and DTC participants are on file with the SEC. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Purchases of
securities within the DTC system must be made by or through DTC participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of the debt securities, 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 direct or indirect DTC participant through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the global
securities 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
specific situations described above under &#147;Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated&#148;. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To facilitate
subsequent transfers, all global securities deposited by direct participants with DTC will be registered in the 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 nominee will not change the beneficial ownership of the debt securities. 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 participants are responsible for keeping account of their
holdings on behalf of their customers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the debt securities of a particular
series are being redeemed, DTC&#146;s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the debt securities of such series to be redeemed. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In instances in which a vote is required, neither DTC nor Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. will itself consent or vote with respect to the debt securities.
Under its usual procedures DTC would mail an omnibus proxy to us 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 such 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:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Distribution payments on the debt
securities will be made by the trustee to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., as nominee of DTC. DTC&#146;s practice is to credit direct participants&#146; accounts upon DTC&#146;s receipt of funds in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC records.
Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of such participants and not of DTC, the trustee, or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of distributions to DTC is the responsibility of the trustee, and disbursements of such payment to the beneficial owners are the responsibility of direct and indirect participants. </P>
