<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes are our senior unsecured obligations. Holders of our secured indebtedness will have claims that are prior to your claims as holders
of the notes, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The indenture permits us and our subsidiaries to incur additional secured indebtedness. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or
similar proceeding, our pledged assets would be available to satisfy obligations of our secured indebtedness before any payment could be made on the notes. To the extent that these assets could not satisfy in full our secured indebtedness, the
holders of the indebtedness would have a claim for any shortfall that would rank equally in right of payment with the notes. In any of the foregoing events, we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the notes.
As a result, holders of the notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of our secured indebtedness. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, we currently conduct
a substantial portion of our operations through our subsidiaries, and our subsidiaries have significant liabilities. We may, and in some cases we have plans to, conduct additional operations through our subsidiaries in the future and, accordingly,
the obligations of our subsidiaries could increase. Our cash flow and our ability to service our debt, including the notes, therefore partially depends upon the earnings of our subsidiaries, and we depend on the distribution of earnings, loans or
other payments by those subsidiaries to us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our subsidiaries are separate legal entities. Our subsidiaries will not guarantee the notes.
Accordingly, our subsidiaries have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the notes or, subject to existing or future contractual obligations between us and our subsidiaries, to provide us with funds to meet our payment obligations, whether by
dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. In addition, any payment of dividends, distributions, loans or advances by our subsidiaries to us could be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions and taxes. Payments to us by our
subsidiaries would also be contingent upon our subsidiaries&#146; earnings and other business considerations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of September&nbsp;28,

&#128;&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;&#8195;million of senior notes as described under &#147;Use of Proceeds,&#148; we had indebtedness and finance lease obligations of approximately $&#8195; billion and no outstanding secured indebtedness. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our right to receive any assets of any of our subsidiaries upon liquidation or reorganization, and, as a result, the right of the holders of
the notes to participate in those assets, will be effectively subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary&#146;s creditors, including trade creditors and preferred stockholders, if any. The notes do not restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to
incur additional liabilities. In addition, even if we were a creditor of any of our subsidiaries, our rights as a creditor would be subordinate to any security interest of other creditors in the assets of our subsidiaries and any indebtedness of our
subsidiaries senior to indebtedness held by us. </P>

recommendation to buy, sell or hold any security. Each agency&#146;s rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency&#146;s rating. Actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in our credit ratings, including any announcement that our

notes, which could adversely impact the trading prices for, or the liquidity of, the notes. Any such downgrade could also adversely affect our cost of borrowing, limit our access to the capital markets or result in more restrictive covenants in

to the notes. It is possible that the market for the notes will be subject to disruptions. Any disruptions may have a negative effect on holders of the notes, regardless of our financial condition and performance and our prospects. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In general, as market interest rates rise, notes bearing interest at a fixed rate generally decline in value because the premium, if any, over
market interest rates declines. Consequently, if you purchase fixed rate notes and market interest rates increase, the market value of your fixed rate notes may decline. We cannot predict the future level of market interest rates. </P>

date, as described under &#147;Description of the Notes&#151;Optional Redemption&#148; in this prospectus supplement, including at times when prevailing interest rates are relatively low. In the event that we redeem the notes prior to maturity, you
may not be able to reinvest the proceeds you receive from the redemption in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on your notes being redeemed. </P>

whose home currency is not the euro entails significant risks. These risks include the possibility of significant changes in the rates of exchange between the holder&#146;s home currency and the
euro and the possibility of the imposition or subsequent modification of foreign exchange controls with respect to the holder&#146;s home currency or the euro. These risks generally depend on factors affecting the notes and foreign exchange rates
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 the euro and certain currencies have been highly volatile, and each
holder should be aware that volatility may occur in the future. The exchange rates of a holder&#146;s home currency for the euro and the fluctuations in those exchange rates that have occurred in the past are not necessarily indicative of
fluctuations in the rate that may occur during the term of the notes. Depreciation of the euro against the holder&#146;s home currency would result in a decrease in the effective yield of a note below its coupon rate and, in certain circumstances,
could result in a loss to the holder. 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. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; 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:4%; 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 euros into U.S. dollars would depend upon various factors, including which court renders the judgment and when the judgment is rendered. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The terms of the notes provide that notes will be issued with a minimum denomination of &#128;100,000 and multiples of &#128;1,000 in excess
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

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

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 firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship

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 participants, and has no record of or relationship with persons holding

disposition. In the case of a note that is traded on an established securities market, a cash basis U.S. Holder and, if it so elects, an accrual basis U.S. Holder, will determine the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized on the settlement date of
the disposition. The special election available to accrual basis U.S. Holders in regard to the sale or other disposition of notes traded on an established securities market must be applied consistently to all debt instruments held by the U.S. Holder
from year to year and cannot be changed without the consent of the IRS. If a note is traded on an established securities market, but the relevant U.S. Holder is an accrual basis taxpayer that has not made the special election, the U.S. Holder will
recognize exchange gain or loss (generally taxable as U.S. source ordinary income or loss) to the extent that there are exchange rate fluctuations between the trade date and the settlement date. In the event the note is not traded on an established
securities market, U.S. Holders who are cash basis taxpayers should consult their tax advisors regarding the foreign currency tax consequences of a disposition (including whether the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized should be determined on
the trade date or the settlement date). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A U.S. Holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in a note will, in general, be the cost of such note to
such U.S. Holder. If a U.S. Holder uses foreign currency to purchase a note, the cost of the note generally will be the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency purchase price determined at the spot rate of exchange on the date of purchase. The
conversion of U.S. dollars to a foreign currency and the immediate use of that currency to purchase a note generally will not result in taxable gain or loss for a U.S. Holder. </P>
