limited exceptions, dividends we pay generally are not eligible for taxation at the preferential rates applicable to &#147;qualified dividend income&#148; as described in &#147;Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations &#150; Taxation of Our

types of payments to (i)&nbsp;foreign financial institutions that do not agree to comply with certain diligence reporting and withholding obligations with respect to their U.S. accounts and (ii)&nbsp;non-financial foreign entities that do not
identify (or confirm the absence of) substantial U.S. owners. The withholding tax of 30% would apply to dividends and the gross proceeds of a disposition of our common stock paid to certain foreign entities (including payments made to a foreign
financial institution on behalf of a U.S. stockholder) unless various information reporting requirements are satisfied. For these purposes, a foreign financial institution generally is defined as any non-U.S. entity that (i)&nbsp;accepts deposits in
the ordinary course of a banking or similar business, (ii)&nbsp;is engaged in the business of holding financial assets for the account of others, or (iii)&nbsp;is engaged or holds itself out as being engaged primarily in the business of investing,
reinvesting, or trading in securities, partnership interests, commodities, or any interest in such assets. Withholding under this legislation on withholdable payments to foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign entities will apply
after December&nbsp;31, 2016 with respect to gross proceeds of a disposition of property that can produce U.S. source interest or dividends and after December&nbsp;31, 2013 with respect to other withholdable payments. </FONT></P>
