<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the indentures, only the person in whose name a security is registered is recognized as the holder of that security. Consequently, for
book-entry securities, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities, and we will make all payments on the securities to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives to its participants, which in turn
pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants make these payments under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the
terms of the securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result, investors in global securities will not own debt securities directly. Instead, they will own

form, investors will be indirect owners, and not holders, of the securities. More information regarding the depositary, participants and indirect owners is described below under &#147;&#151; Special Considerations for Global Debt Securities &#151;

issue each debt security only in book-entry form. Each debt security issued in book-entry form will be represented by a global debt security that we will 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 say otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, The Depository Trust&nbsp;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 debt security may represent one or any other number of individual debt

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 Considerations for Global Debt Securities &#151; Special
Situations When a Global Debt Security Will Be Terminated.&#148; 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 debt security, and
investors will be permitted to own only beneficial interests in a global debt security. 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 debt security is represented by a global debt security will not be a legal holder of the debt security, but only an indirect owner of a beneficial interest in the global debt security. </P>

each issue of book-entry securities, each in the aggregate principal amount of that issue, and will be deposited with DTC. If, however, the aggregate principal amount of any issue exceeds $500&nbsp;million, one global debt security will be issued

owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing Corporation (&#147;DTCC&#148;). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income
Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC 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 under 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 acquirer of each security is in turn to be recorded on the direct and indirect participants&#146; records. Beneficial
owners of securities will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. They are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the DTC
participant through which they entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the securities 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 securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the securities is discontinued. </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 securities deposited with DTC are registered in the name of the DTC&#146;s partnership nominee,
Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co, or such other name as may be requested by DTC. The deposit of securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. or such other nominee of DTC do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no
knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities; DTC&#146;s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. DTC&#146;s
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:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Conveyance of notices and other

regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. </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, as the registered holder of the
securities. If less than all of the 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:4%; 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 the securities unless authorized by a
direct participant in accordance with DTC&#146;s procedures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to the relevant agent

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 securities will be made by the issuer, or the issuer&#146;s relevant
payment agent or the depositary for depositary shares, to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other nominee as requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC&#146;s practice is to credit direct participants&#146; accounts upon DTC&#146;s receipt of
funds and corresponding information from the issuer or the relevant payment agent or depositary, on the relevant payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC&#146;s records. Payments by DTC participants to beneficial owners
will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities registered in &#147;street name,&#148; and will be the responsibility of such participants and not of DTC, the relevant payment agent or depositary for
depository shares or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of distributions to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (or such other nominee as requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the

securities to payment from any distribution of an issuer&#146;s assets resulting from any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, bankruptcy or reorganization of the issuer are subordinated to the prior right to payment in full of all of that

default on any senior indebtedness of the issuer. Because the subordinated debt securities are subordinated in right of payment to any senior indebtedness of the issuer, in the event of a distribution of assets upon insolvency, some of the

of cash, property or securities available after satisfaction of the rights to payment of senior indebtedness will be applied first to pay for the full payment of the issuer&#146;s other financial obligations (as defined below) before any payment
will be made to holders of the subordinated debt securities. If the maturity of any subordinated debt securities is accelerated, all senior indebtedness of the issuer would have to be repaid before any payment could be made to holders of the
issuer&#146;s subordinated debt securities. Because of this subordination, if an issuer becomes insolvent, its creditors who are holders of subordinated debt securities may recover ratably less than holders of its senior indebtedness. </P>
