are referring to both parts combined. If information varies between this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. </P>

as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectus. Please read &#147;Where You Can Find More Information&#148; and &#147;Incorporation by Reference&#148; in this prospectus

give any information or to make any representation other than those contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus or in any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us or to
which we have referred you. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities other than the registered securities to which they relate, nor do
this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectus constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation in such

prospectus supplement, which will be the third business day following the date of pricing (such settlement being referred to as &#147;T+3&#148;). Pursuant to Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">15c6-1</FONT> under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;), trades in the secondary market are generally required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes
on the day of pricing will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes will initially settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. </B></P>

sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA or the UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i)&nbsp;a retail client as
defined in point (11)&nbsp;of Article 4 (1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, &#147;MiFID II&#148;); or (ii)&nbsp;a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the &#147;IDD&#148;), where that customer would not qualify as
a professional client as defined in point (10)&nbsp;of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii)&nbsp;not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as
amended, the &#147;PRIIPs Regulation&#148;) for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them
available to any retail investor in the EEA or the UK may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. </P>

counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii)&nbsp;all channels for distribution of the notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or
recommending the notes (a &#147;distributor&#148;) should take into consideration the manufacturer&#146;s target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect
of the notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer&#146;s target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels. </P>

borrowings under our $1.5 billion term loan facility or our $2.5 billion revolving credit agreement. Because more than 5% of the proceeds of this offering, not including underwriting discounts and commissions, may be received by affiliates of the
underwriters, this offering is being conducted in compliance with the requirements of FINRA Rule 5121, as administered by FINRA. Accordingly, the underwriters will not confirm any sales to any account over which it exercises discretionary authority
without the specific written approval of the account holder. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5121, the appointment of a qualified independent underwriter is not necessary in connection with this offering. </TD></TR></TABLE>

<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>As a result of our holding company structure, the notes will be structurally subordinated to liabilities and indebtedness of our subsidiaries other than
ONEOK Partners and the Intermediate Partnership, which will guarantee the notes, and effectively subordinated to any of our and the guarantors&#146; secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A substantial portion of our operating assets are owned by our subsidiaries or our affiliates. The notes will not be guaranteed by our
subsidiaries or other affiliates, other than ONEOK Partners and the Intermediate Partnership, and our subsidiaries and such affiliates are not prohibited under the indenture that will govern the notes from incurring additional indebtedness. As a
result, holders of the notes will be structurally subordinated to claims of third-party creditors, including holders of indebtedness, of these <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-guarantor</FONT> subsidiaries and such affiliates. Claims of those
other creditors, including trade creditors, secured creditors, governmental authorities, and holders of indebtedness or guarantees issued by our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-guarantor</FONT> subsidiaries, will generally have priority as to
the assets of our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-guarantor</FONT> subsidiaries over claims by the holders of the notes. As a result, rights of payment of holders of our indebtedness, including the holders of the notes, will be structurally
subordinated to all those claims of creditors of our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-guarantor</FONT> subsidiaries. Assuming we had completed this offering on December&nbsp;31, 2019, after giving effect to the application of the net proceeds as
described in &#147;Use of Proceeds&#148; in this prospectus supplement, the notes and the guarantees would have been structurally subordinated to approximately $21.3&nbsp;million of outstanding indebtedness of our
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-guarantor</FONT> subsidiaries. In addition, if either of ONEOK Partners or the Intermediate Partnership is no longer our subsidiary or no longer has any capital markets debt securities outstanding or guarantees
any capital markets debt securities issued by us or the other guarantor, in each case other than the notes, so long as no default or event of default under the indenture has occurred or is continuing, they will be released from their obligations
under the indenture, and its guarantees will no longer be in effect. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, holders of our and the guarantors&#146; secured
indebtedness would have claims with respect to the assets constituting collateral for such indebtedness that are prior to your claims under the notes or the guarantees. We do not currently have any secured indebtedness, but may have secured
indebtedness in the future. In the event of a default on such secured indebtedness or our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, our assets would be available to satisfy obligations with respect to the indebtedness secured thereby before any
payment could be made on the notes or the guarantees. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">While the indenture governing the notes places some limitations on our ability to
create liens, there are significant exceptions to these limitations, including with respect to sale and leaseback transactions, which will allow us to secure some kinds of indebtedness without equally and ratably securing the notes. To the extent
the value of the collateral is not sufficient to satisfy the secured indebtedness, the holders of that indebtedness would be entitled to share with the holders of the notes and the holders of other claims against us with respect to our other assets.

the quotation of the notes in any automated dealer quotation system. In addition, although the underwriters have informed us that they intend to make a market in each series of notes, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations, they are not
obligated to do so, and they may discontinue their market making activities at any time without notice. An active market for the notes may not develop or, if developed, may not continue. In the absence of an active trading market, you may not be

waived or rescinded, the default could result in acceleration of the debt outstanding under that agreement and a default with respect to, and an acceleration of, the debt outstanding under other debt agreements, including the indenture that will
govern the notes. The accelerated debt would become immediately due and payable. If that occurs, we may not be able to make all of the required payments or borrow sufficient funds to refinance such debt. Even if new financing were available at that
time, it may not be on terms that are acceptable to us. If our debt is in default for any reason, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>The following description is a summary of the material terms of our notes. The descriptions in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying base prospectus contain a description of certain terms of the notes and the indenture under which the notes will be issued but do not purport to be complete, and reference is hereby made to the indenture that is an exhibit to the
registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus are a part and to the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. This summary supplements the description of debt securities in the accompanying base
prospectus and, to the extent it is inconsistent, replaces the description in the accompanying base prospectus. We urge you to read the indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as a holder of the notes. The following
description of the notes and the description of the debt securities contained in the accompanying base prospectus are not complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the indenture. You may
request a copy of the indenture from us as set forth under &#147;Where You Can Find More Information&#148; below. Whenever particular defined terms of the indenture are referred to, those defined terms are incorporated herein by reference. In this
&#147;Description of Notes,&#148; references to &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us&#148; and &#147;our&#148; refer to ONEOK, Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries. </I></P>

issued under a senior indenture (as amended and supplemented from time to time, including supplements setting forth the terms of the notes) among us, ONEOK Partners, the Intermediate Partnership and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the
indenture, as supplemented, is referred to as the &#147;indenture&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes will be senior debt securities that will be our
direct, unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. The notes will be guaranteed by ONEOK Partners and the Intermediate Partnership, two of our subsidiaries, however, such guarantors
will not otherwise be subject to the covenants, obligations and duties provided for in the indenture solely in their capacity as guarantors. Each guarantee will rank equally in right of payment with all of such guarantor&#146;s existing and future
unsecured senior debt and their other unsecured guarantees of senior debt. The notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other obligations of our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-guarantor</FONT> subsidiaries
and will be effectively subordinated to all of our and the guarantors&#146; future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt. Assuming we had completed this offering on December&nbsp;31, 2019, after giving effect
to the application of the net proceeds as described in &#147;Use of Proceeds&#148; in this prospectus supplement, the notes and the guarantees would have been structurally subordinated to approximately $21.3&nbsp;million of outstanding indebtedness
of our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-guarantor</FONT> subsidiaries. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will issue the 2025 notes in an initial aggregate principal
amount of $400,000,000. We will issue the 2030 notes in an initial aggregate principal amount of $850,000,000. We will issue the 2050 notes in an initial aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because we conduct our operations through our subsidiaries, our ability to service our debt, including our obligations under the notes, and
other obligations are dependent on the earnings of our subsidiaries and the payment of those earnings to us in the form of distributions, dividends, loans or advances from our subsidiaries or the repayment of loans or advances from us by our
subsidiaries. Any payment of distributions, dividends, loans or advances by our subsidiaries could be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions. Our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-guarantor</FONT> subsidiaries and affiliates have no
obligation to pay any amounts due on the notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes will not be subject to a sinking fund provision. </P>

physical movement of securities certificates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Direct participants of DTC include securities brokers and dealers (including the
underwriters), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its direct participants. Indirect participants of DTC, such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies, can

will administer its book-entry system in accordance with its rules and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">by-laws</FONT> and requirements of law. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) has on file a set of the rules

confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct participants or indirect
participants through which such beneficial owners entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the notes are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial
owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in notes, except as provided below in &#147;&#151;Certificated Notes.&#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 notes deposited with DTC are registered in the name of DTC&#146;s nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. The
deposit of notes with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. 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
direct participants to whose accounts such notes are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </P>

owner, or (3)&nbsp;the foreign financial institution or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-financial</FONT> foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the
diligence and reporting requirements in (1)&nbsp;above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain &#147;specified United States
persons&#148; or &#147;United States owned foreign entities&#148; (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-compliant</FONT>
foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA applies currently to payments of interest on a
note. While withholding under FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of a note on or after January&nbsp;1, 2019, recently proposed Treasury Regulations would eliminate FATCA withholding on
payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued. </P>

expenses of the offering, not including the underwriting discounts, are estimated at $3.0 million and are payable by us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Price Stabilization, Short
Positions </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In order to facilitate the offering of the notes, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or
otherwise affect the price of the notes. Specifically, the underwriters may over allot notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the notes during the stabilization period at a level higher than that which might
otherwise prevail. However, stabilization may not necessarily occur. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date of adequate public disclosure of the terms of the notes, and if begun may cease at any time, but must end no later than 30
calendar days after the date on which the issuer has received the proceeds of the issue, or no later than 60 calendar days after the date of allotment of the notes, whichever is earlier. Any stabilization action or over-allotment must be conducted
by the relevant underwriter (or persons acting on their behalf) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Indemnification </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. </P>

will be made against payment therefor on or about the date specified in the last paragraph of the cover page of this prospectus supplement, which will be the third business day following the date of pricing (such settlement being referred to as
&#147;T+3&#148;). Pursuant to Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">15c6-1</FONT> under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are generally required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree
otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the day of pricing will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes will initially settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to
prevent a failed settlement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Conflicts of Interest </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Affiliates of the underwriters are lenders under our $1.5 billion term loan facility, lenders under our $2.5&nbsp;billion revolving credit
agreement and holders under our $2.5 billion commercial paper program. As described in &#147;Use of Proceeds,&#148; we anticipate that some of the net proceeds of this offering will be used to repay all amounts outstanding under our $2.5 billion
commercial paper program, and some may be used to repay other existing indebtedness, including borrowings under our $1.5 billion term loan facility or our $2.5 billion revolving credit agreement. Because more than 5% of the proceeds of this
offering, not including underwriting discounts and commissions, may be received by affiliates of the underwriters, this offering is being conducted in compliance with the requirements of FINRA Rule 5121, as administered by FINRA. Accordingly, the
underwriters will not confirm any sales to any account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the specific written approval of the account holder. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5121, the appointment of a qualified independent underwriter
is not necessary in connection with this offering. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus have been prepared on the basis that any offer of the notes in any Member State of
the EEA or the UK will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of notes. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make an offer in that Member State or the UK of
notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may only do so to legal entities which are qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Regulation, provided that no such
offer of notes shall require the issuer or any of the underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation, in each case, in relation
to such offer. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither the issuer nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of notes to any
legal entity which is not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Neither the issuer nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of notes through any financial intermediary, other than
offers made by the underwriters, which constitute the final placement of the notes contemplated in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. </P>

any retail investor in the EEA or the UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i)&nbsp;a retail client as defined in point (11)&nbsp;of Article 4 (1) of MiFID II; or (ii)&nbsp;a customer within the meaning
of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the &#147;IDD&#148;), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10)&nbsp;of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii)&nbsp;not a qualified investor as defined in the
Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or the UK has been prepared and therefore offering
or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or the UK may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. </P>

issuer that it and any person on whose behalf it acquires notes is: (1)&nbsp;a &#147;qualified investor&#148; within the meaning of Article 2(e) of the Prospectus Regulation; and (2)&nbsp;not a &#147;retail investor&#148; as defined above. </P>

the conclusion that: (i)&nbsp;the target market for the notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii)&nbsp;all channels for distribution of the notes to eligible counterparties and professional
clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the notes (a &#147;distributor&#148;) should take into consideration the manufacturer&#146;s target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is
responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer&#146;s target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels. </P>

under a senior indenture and subordinated debt will be issued under a subordinated indenture. The senior indenture and the subordinated indenture are sometimes referred to in this prospectus individually as an &#147;Indenture&#148; and collectively
as the &#147;Indentures.&#148; Each prospectus supplement that we provide when we offer debt securities will describe the specific terms of the debt securities offered through that prospectus supplement and any general terms outlined in this section
that will not apply to those debt securities. Unless otherwise specified in this prospectus, the term &#147;debt securities&#148; includes senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities and the descriptions of the debt securities describe
both the senior debt securities and the subordinated debt securities unless otherwise specified in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement. </P>

qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. You should refer to the Trust Indenture Act for provisions that apply to the debt securities. This summary also is subject to and qualified by reference to the description of the particular terms of the debt
securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement or supplements and pricing supplement or supplements. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this summary have the meanings specified in the applicable Indenture. In this section,

shares out of assets legally available for distribution when, as and if authorized and declared by our board of directors and to share ratably in our assets legally available for distribution to our shareholders in the event of liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up. Subject to various exceptions, we will not be able to pay any dividend or make any distribution of assets on shares of our common stock until we pay dividends on any shares of preferred stock then outstanding with dividend

basket of such securities or any combination of the above as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Each stock purchase contract will entitle the holder thereof to purchase, and obligate us to sell, on specified dates, such securities,
at a specified purchase price, all as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will also specify the methods by which the holders may purchase such securities, any acceleration, cancellation or
termination provisions or other provisions relating to the settlement of a stock purchase contract and, if applicable, the identity of any of our subsidiaries guaranteeing our obligations with respect to such stock purchase contracts. Stock purchase
contracts may require holders to satisfy their obligations thereunder when the stock purchase contracts are issued. Our obligation to settle such prepaid stock purchase contracts on the relevant settlement date may constitute indebtedness.
Accordingly, the prepaid stock purchase contracts will be issued under one of the Indentures. The stock purchase contracts may be issued separately or as part of a stock purchase contract unit that consists of (a)&nbsp;a stock purchase contract and
(b)&nbsp;senior or subordinated debt securities, or preferred stock, U.S. Treasury securities or other debt obligations of third parties, that may be used to secure the holders&#146; obligations under a stock purchase contract. The stock purchase
contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders of the stock purchase contract units, and such payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis. The stock purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations in a
specified manner and, in certain circumstances, we may deliver newly issued prepaid stock purchase contracts upon release to a holder of any collateral securing such holder&#146;s obligations under the original stock purchase contract. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the general terms of any stock purchase contracts or stock purchase contract units and, if

arrangements and depository arrangements, if applicable, relating to such stock purchase contracts or stock purchase contract units and (c)&nbsp;if applicable, the prepaid stock purchase contracts and the documents pursuant to which such prepaid

option, elect to offer fractional shares of preferred stock, rather than full shares of preferred stock. If we exercise this option, we will issue to the public receipts for depositary shares, and each of these depositary shares will represent a
fraction (to be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement) of a share of a particular series of preferred stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The shares of
any series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares will be deposited under a deposit agreement between us and a bank or trust company selected by us. The depositary will have its principal office in the United States and a combined
capital of at least $50,000,000. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion, to the applicable fraction of a share of preferred stock underlying that depositary share, to all the
rights and preferences of the preferred stock underlying that depositary share. Those rights (to be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement) include dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the deposit agreement. Depositary receipts will be
distributed to those persons purchasing the fractional shares of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares, in accordance with the terms of the offering. Copies of the forms of deposit agreement and depositary receipt will be filed as
exhibits to the registration statement. The following summary of the deposit agreement, the depositary shares and the depositary receipts is not complete. You should refer to the forms of the deposit agreement and depositary receipts that will be
filed with the SEC in connection with the offering of the specific depositary shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pending the preparation of definitive engraved
depositary receipts, the depositary may, upon our written order, issue temporary depositary receipts substantially identical to the definitive depositary receipts but not in definitive form. These temporary depositary receipts entitle their holders
to all the rights of definitive depositary receipts which are to be prepared without unreasonable delay. Temporary depositary receipts will then be exchangeable for definitive depositary receipts at our expense. </P>

there is a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property received by it to the record holders of depositary shares that are entitled to receive the distribution, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to
make the distribution. If this occurs, the depositary may, with our approval, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to the applicable holders. </P>

proceeds received by the depositary resulting from the redemption, in whole or in part, of that series of preferred stock held by the depositary. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable redemption fraction of the
redemption price per share payable with respect to that series of the preferred stock. Whenever we redeem shares of preferred stock that are held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem, as of the same redemption date, the number of depositary
shares representing the shares of preferred stock so redeemed. If fewer than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or pro rata as may be determined by the depositary. </P>

stock, will be entitled to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount of the preferred stock represented by the holder&#146;s depositary shares. The depositary will then try, as far as practicable, to
vote the number of shares of preferred stock underlying those depositary shares in accordance with such instructions. We will agree to take all actions which may be deemed necessary by the depositary to enable the depositary to do so. The depositary

agreement between us and the depositary. However, any amendment which materially and adversely alters the rights of the holders of depositary shares will not be effective unless the amendment has been approved by the holders of at least a majority
of the depositary shares then outstanding. The deposit agreement may be terminated by us or by the depositary only if (a)&nbsp;all outstanding depositary shares have been redeemed or (b)&nbsp;there has been a final distribution of the underlying

redemption of the preferred stock. Holders of depositary receipts will pay other transfer and other taxes and governmental charges and those other charges, including a fee for the withdrawal of shares of preferred stock upon surrender of depositary
receipts, as are expressly provided in the deposit agreement to be for their accounts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Miscellaneous </B></P>

duties under the deposit agreement. Neither we nor the depositary will be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding in respect of any depositary shares or preferred stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. We and the depositary
may rely upon written advice of counsel or accountants, or upon information provided by persons presenting preferred stock for deposit, holders of depositary receipts or other persons believed to be competent and on documents believed to be genuine.
