indenture, respectively. This description is not complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the indenture under which the debt securities are issued and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the &#147;Trust
Indenture Act&#148;). The specific terms of any series of debt securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, and may differ from the general description of the terms presented below. The senior debt security indenture and the
form of subordinated debt security indenture have been filed as exhibits to our SEC registration statement relating to this prospectus. Whenever particular defined terms of the indentures, as supplemented or amended from time to time, are referred
to in this prospectus or a prospectus supplement, those defined terms are incorporated in this prospectus or such prospectus supplement by reference.</I> </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue senior or subordinated debt securities. Neither the senior debt securities nor the subordinated debt securities will be secured
by any property or assets of ours or of our subsidiaries. Thus, by owning a debt security, you are one of our unsecured creditors. Neither of the indentures limits our ability to incur additional senior or subordinated indebtedness. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When we use the terms &#147;debt security&#148; or &#147;debt securities&#148; in this description, we mean either the senior debt securities
or the subordinated debt securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>The Indentures </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The senior debt securities are governed and the subordinated debt securities will be governed by a document called an indenture, which is a
contract between us and Union Bank, N.A., acting as trustee. The indentures may be supplemented by supplemental indentures in order to issue new debt securities, change the provisions of the indentures or alter previously issued debt securities.
Below is a summary of certain provisions of the indentures. This summary does not contain all the information that may be important to you. You should read all provisions of the indentures carefully, including the definitions of certain terms,
before you decide to invest in the debt securities. If we refer to particular sections or defined terms of an indenture, we mean to incorporate by reference those sections or defined terms of such indenture. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may issue as many distinct series of debt securities under either the indenture relating to senior debt securities, or the indenture
relating to subordinated debt securities, as we wish. This section summarizes terms of the debt securities that apply generally to all series. The provisions of the indentures allow us not only to issue debt securities with terms different from
those of debt securities previously issued under that indenture, but also to &#147;reopen&#148; a previous issue of a series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that series. Most of the financial and other specific terms of
the series to which your debt securities belong, whether it be a series of the senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities, are described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Those terms may vary from the terms described here. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>As you read this section, please remember that the specific terms of your debt security as described in the applicable prospectus
supplement will supplement and, if applicable, may modify or replace the general terms described in this section. Accordingly, the statements we make in this section may not apply to your debt security. </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When we refer to a series of debt securities, we mean a series issued under the applicable indenture or supplemental indenture. When we refer
to the applicable prospectus supplement, we mean the prospectus supplement describing the specific terms of the debt security you purchase. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Amounts That We May Issue </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indentures do not limit the aggregate amount of debt securities that we may issue or the number of series or the aggregate amount of any
particular series. We may issue debt securities, as well as increase the total authorized amount, at any time without your consent and without notifying you. Any debt securities owned by us or any of our affiliates are not deemed to be outstanding.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Principal Amount, Stated Maturity and Maturity </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The principal amount of a debt security means the principal amount payable at its stated maturity, unless that amount is not determinable, in
which case the principal amount of a debt security is its face amount. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The term &#147;stated maturity&#148; with respect to any debt
security means the day on which the principal amount of such debt security is scheduled to become due. The principal may become due sooner, by reason of redemption or acceleration after an event of default or otherwise in accordance with the terms
of the debt security. The day on which the principal actually becomes due, whether at the stated maturity or earlier, is called the &#147;maturity&#148; of the principal. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We also use the terms &#147;stated maturity&#148; and &#147;maturity&#148; to refer to the days when other payments become due. For example,
we may refer to a regular interest payment date when an installment of interest is scheduled to become due as the &#147;stated maturity&#148; of that installment. When we refer to the &#147;stated maturity&#148; or the &#147;maturity&#148; of a debt
security without specifying a particular payment, we mean the stated maturity or maturity, as the case may be, of the principal. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, amounts that become due and payable on your debt security will be payable
in U.S. dollars. You will have to pay for your debt securities by delivering the requisite purchase price for the principal to the underwriter or dealer that we name in the applicable prospectus supplement, unless other arrangements have been made
between you and us or you and that underwriter or dealer. </P>

Under those policies, we will pay directly to the depositary, or its nominee, and not to any indirect owners who own beneficial interests in the global debt security. An indirect owner&#146;s right to receive those payments will be governed by the
rules and practices of the depositary and its participants, as described in the section entitled &#147;Legal Ownership and Book-Entry Issuance&#151;What Is a Global Security?&#148; </P>

date by check mailed on the interest payment date to the holder at his or her address shown on the trustee&#146;s records as of the close of business on the regular record date. We will make all other payments by check at the paying agent described
below, against surrender of the debt security. All payments by check will be made in next-day funds&#151;i.e., funds that become available on the day after the check is cashed. </P>

that becomes due on the debt security by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account at a bank in New York City, on the due date. To request wire payment, the holder must give the paying agent appropriate wire transfer instructions at
least five business days before the requested wire payment is due. In the case of any interest payment due on an interest payment date, the instructions must be given by the person or entity who is the holder on the relevant regular record date. In
the case of any other payment, payment will be made only after the debt security is surrendered to the paying agent. Any wire instructions, once properly given, will remain in effect unless and until new instructions are given in the manner
described above. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Book-entry and other indirect owners should consult their banks or brokers for information on how they will receive

Payments postponed to the next business day in this situation will be treated under the applicable indenture as if they were made on the original due date. Postponement of this kind will not result in a default under any debt indenture, and no
interest will accrue on the postponed amount from the original due date to the next day that is a business day. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Paying Agent </I></B></P>

form may be surrendered for payment at their maturity. We call each of those offices a paying agent. We may add, replace or terminate paying agents from time to time. We may also choose to act as our own paying agent. Initially, we have appointed
the trustee, at its corporate trust office in Los Angeles, California, as the paying agent for the debt securities. </P>

You should read all the provisions of the agreements and the certificates once they are available. Warrants or rights in book-entry form will be represented by a global security registered in the name of a depositary, which will be the holder of all
the securities represented by the global security. Those who own beneficial interests in a global security will do so through participants in the depositary&#146;s system, and the rights of these indirect owners will be governed solely by the

the applicable prospectus supplement, we may issue stock purchase contracts, including contracts obligating holders to purchase from us and us to sell to the holders, a specified number of shares of common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares
or other security or property at a future date or dates. Alternatively, the stock purchase contracts may obligate us to purchase from holders, and obligate holders to sell to us, a specified or varying number of shares of common stock, preferred
stock, depositary shares or other security or property. The consideration per share of common stock or preferred stock or per depositary share or other security or property may be fixed at the time the stock purchase contracts are issued or may be
determined by a specific reference to a formula set forth in the stock purchase contracts. The stock purchase contracts may provide for settlement by delivery by or on behalf of Mattel of shares of the underlying security or property or, they may
provide for settlement by reference or linkage to the value, performance or trading price of the underlying security or property. The stock purchase contracts may be issued separately or as part of stock purchase units consisting of a stock purchase
contract and debt securities, preferred stock or debt obligations of third parties, including U.S. treasury securities, other stock purchase contracts or common stock, or other securities or property, securing the holders&#146; obligations to
purchase or sell, as the case may be, the common stock or the preferred stock under the stock purchase contracts. The stock purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders of the stock purchase units or vice versa, and
such payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis and may be paid on a current or on a deferred basis. The stock purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations thereunder in a specified manner and may provide for the
prepayment of all or part of the consideration payable by holders in connection with the purchase of the underlying security or other property pursuant to the stock purchase contracts. </P>

agreement to secure the obligations of holders of stock purchase contracts to purchase the underlying security or property under the related stock purchase contracts. The rights of holders of stock purchase contracts to the related pledged
securities will be subject to Mattel&#146;s security interest therein created by the pledge agreement. No holder of stock purchase contracts will be permitted to withdraw the pledged securities related to such stock purchase contracts from the
pledge arrangement except upon the termination or early settlement of the related stock purchase contracts or in the event other securities, cash or property is made subject to the pledge agreement in lieu of the pledged securities, if permitted by
the pledge agreement, or as otherwise provided in the pledge agreement. Subject to such security interest and the terms of the stock purchase contract agreement and the pledge agreement, each holder of a stock purchase contract will retain full
beneficial ownership of the related pledged securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the collateral agent

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Number and Election of Directors </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Mattel Bylaws provide that the Mattel Board will consist of one or more members as the Mattel Board will designate, with each director
serving a one-year term. The number of directors of Mattel currently designated is 11. The Mattel Bylaws provide that whenever the number of directors of Mattel is increased between annual meetings of Mattel stockholders, a majority of the directors
then in office have the power to elect the new directors for the balance of the term and until their successors are elected and qualified. Any decrease in the authorized number of directors will not become effective until the expiration of the term
of the directors then in office unless at the time of the decrease there will be vacancies on the Mattel Board which are being eliminated by the decrease. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Voting </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Mattel Bylaws provide
that at any meeting of stockholders each stockholder will have one vote for every share of stock entitled to vote which is registered in the name of the stockholder. In any uncontested election of directors (i.e., an election where the number of
nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected), each nominee will be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to that director&#146;s election. In cases where, as of the tenth day preceding the date we
first mail notice for such meeting, the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, each nominee to be elected must be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In accordance with the Mattel Bylaws, any director nominee who fails to receive a majority of the votes cast for his or her election in an
uncontested election will not be elected. Under Delaware law, however, each director holds office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. For this reason, any nominee serving on the Mattel Board who fails to receive a majority of
the votes cast for his or her election in an uncontested election will not automatically cease to be a director, but instead will continue to serve on the Mattel Board as a &#147;holdover director&#148; until his or her successor is elected and
qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. To address this situation, the Mattel Bylaws provide that if any incumbent nominee is not elected at a meeting of stockholders at which directors are elected by a majority of the votes
cast and no successor has been elected at the meeting, that director must tender his or her resignation to the Mattel Board promptly following the certification of the election results. The Governance and Social Responsibility Committee will make a
recommendation to the Mattel Board as to whether or not to accept the tendered resignation. If the Mattel Board declines to accept a director&#146;s resignation, that director will continue to serve on the Mattel Board until his or her successor is
elected and qualified, or until the director&#146;s earlier resignation or removal. If the Mattel Board accepts a director&#146;s resignation, then the Mattel Board may fill any resulting vacancy or decrease the size of the Mattel Board by majority
vote of the remaining directors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Special Meeting of Stockholders </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Mattel Bylaws provide that special meetings of the stockholders of Mattel for any purposes prescribed in the notice of meeting may be
called by the Mattel Board or the Chief Executive Officer of Mattel or, upon the written request, subject to compliance with the information requirements contained in the Mattel Bylaws, of one or more stockholders that together have continuously
held beneficial ownership of at least a 15% aggregate net long position (as defined in the Mattel Bylaws) in Mattel&#146;s issued and outstanding common stock for at least one year prior to the date of such request. </P>

notice and without a vote if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken will be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize the taking of such action at
a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Mattel Bylaws provide that no proposals or nominations for director of Mattel by any person other than the Mattel Board or any committee
thereof may be presented to any meeting of stockholders unless the person making the proposal or nomination is a record stockholder and has timely delivered a written notice to the Secretary of Mattel which complies with the information requirements
contained in the Mattel Bylaws. In general, to be timely notice must be received by our Secretary during the period beginning 120 days and ending 90 days before the anniversary of the last annual meeting. However, if the date of the upcoming annual
meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the anniversary of the last annual meeting, notice must be received by our Secretary during the period beginning 120 days before the upcoming annual meeting and ending on the later of 90
days before the upcoming annual meeting or 10 days after the first public announcement of such meeting date. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Blank Check Preferred Stock

existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred and preference stock may enable the Mattel Board to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise.
For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the board determines that a takeover proposal is not in the best interests of Mattel, the Mattel Board could cause shares of preferred stock and/or preference stock to be issued
without stockholder approval in one or more private offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquiror or insurgent stockholder or stockholder group. In this regard, the Certificate of Incorporation
grants the Mattel Board broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock and preference stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock and/or preference stock could decrease the amount of
earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of common stock. The issuance may also adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of such holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change
in control of Mattel. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Listing; Exchange, Transfer Agent and Registrar </B></P>

&#147;we,&#148; &#147;our&#148; and &#147;us&#148; refer only to Mattel, Inc. and not to its consolidated subsidiaries. Also, in this section, references to &#147;holders&#148; mean those who own depositary shares registered in their own names, on
the books that the registrar or we maintain for this purpose, and not those who own beneficial interests in shares registered in street name or in shares issued in book-entry form through one or more depositaries. Owners of beneficial interests in

relevant deposit agreement and depositary receipts with respect to the depositary shares related to any particular series of preferred stock. The specific terms of any series of depositary shares will be described in the applicable prospectus
supplement. If so described in the prospectus supplement, the terms of that series of depositary shares may differ from the general description of terms presented below. </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Interest in a Fractional Share, or Multiple Shares, of Preferred Stock </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may, at our option, elect to offer depositary shares, each of which would represent an interest in a fractional share, or multiple shares,
of our preferred stock instead of whole shares of preferred stock. If so, we will allow a depositary to issue to the public depositary shares, each of which will represent an interest in a fractional share, or multiple shares, of preferred stock as
described in the prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Deposit Agreement </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The shares of the preferred stock underlying any depositary shares will be deposited under a separate deposit agreement between us and a bank
or other entity acting as depositary with respect to those shares of preferred stock. The prospectus supplement relating to a series of depositary shares will specify the name and address of the depositary. Under the deposit agreement, each owner of
a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion of its interest in a fractional share, or multiple shares, of the preferred stock underlying that depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of that preferred stock, including dividend,
voting, redemption, conversion, exchange and liquidation rights. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Depositary shares will be evidenced by one or more depositary receipts
issued under the deposit agreement. We will distribute depositary receipts to those persons purchasing such depositary shares in accordance with the terms of the offering made by the related prospectus supplement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Dividends and Other Distributions </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions in respect of the preferred stock underlying the depositary
shares to each record depositary shareholder based on the number of the depositary shares owned by that holder on the relevant record date. The depositary will distribute only that amount which can be distributed without attributing to any
depositary shareholders a fraction of one cent, and any balance not so distributed will be added to and treated as part of the next sum received by the depositary for distribution to record depositary shareholders. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If there is a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property to the
entitled record depositary shareholders, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make that distribution. In that case the depositary may, with our approval, adopt the method it deems equitable and practicable for making that
distribution, including any sale of property and the distribution of the net proceeds from this sale to the concerned holders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each
deposit agreement will also contain provisions relating to the manner in which any subscription or similar rights we offer to holders of the relevant series of preferred stock will be made available to depositary shareholders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The amount distributed in all of the foregoing cases will be reduced by any amounts required to be withheld by us or the depositary on account
of taxes and governmental charges. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Withdrawal of Stock </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon surrender of depositary receipts at the office of the depositary and upon payment of the charges provided in the deposit agreement and
subject to the terms thereof, a holder of depositary receipts is entitled to have the depositary deliver to such holder the applicable number of shares of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares evidenced by the surrendered depositary
receipts. There may be no market, however, for the underlying preferred stock, and once the underlying preferred stock is withdrawn from the depositary, it may not be redeposited. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Redemption and Liquidation </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The terms on which the depositary shares relating to the preferred stock of any series may be redeemed, and any amounts distributable upon our
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Voting </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon receiving notice of any meeting at which preferred stockholders of any series are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the
information contained in that notice to the record depositary shareholders relating to those series of preferred stock. Each depositary shareholder on the record date will be entitled to instruct the depositary on how to vote the shares of preferred
stock underlying that holder&#146;s depositary shares. The depositary will vote the shares of preferred stock underlying those depositary shares according to those instructions, and we will take reasonably necessary actions to enable the depositary
to do so. If the depositary does not receive specific instructions from the depositary shareholders relating to that preferred stock, it will abstain from voting those shares of preferred stock, unless otherwise discussed in the prospectus
supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Amendment and Termination of Deposit Agreement </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We and the depositary may amend the depositary receipt form evidencing the depositary shares and the related deposit agreement. However, any
amendment that significantly affects the rights of the depositary shareholders will not be effective unless holders of a majority of the outstanding depositary shares approve that amendment. No amendment, however, may impair the right of any
depositary shareholder to receive any money or other property to which he may be entitled under the terms of the deposit agreement at the times and in the manner and amount provided for therein. We or the depositary may terminate a deposit agreement

obligations under any deposit agreement, or subject to any liability under the deposit agreement to holders of depositary receipts other than for the relevant party&#146;s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of Mattel and each
depositary under any deposit agreement will be limited to performance in good faith of their duties under that agreement, and they will not be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding in respect of any depositary shares or preferred
stock unless they are provided with satisfactory indemnity. They may rely upon written advice of counsel or accountants, or information provided by persons presenting preferred stock for deposit, depositary shareholders or other persons believed to

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In this section, we describe special considerations that will apply to registered securities issued in global&#151;i.e., book-entry&#151;form.
First, we describe the difference between legal ownership and indirect ownership of registered securities. Then, we describe special provisions that apply to global securities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Who is the Legal Owner of a Registered Security? </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each security in registered form will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or
more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. We refer to those who have securities registered in their own names, on the books that we or the trustee, warrant agent or other agent maintain for this purpose, as the
&#147;holders&#148; of those securities. These persons are the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in securities that are not registered in their own names as indirect owners of
those securities. As we discuss below, indirect owners are not legal holders, and investors (i.e., persons or institutions purchasing securities in the offering to which a prospectus supplement relates) in securities issued in book-entry form or in
street name will be indirect owners. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Book-Entry Owners </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will issue each security in book-entry form only, unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement. This means securities
will be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a financial institution that holds them as depositary on behalf of other financial institutions that participate in the depositary&#146;s book-entry system. These
participating institutions, in turn, hold beneficial interests in the securities on behalf of themselves or their customers. </P> <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 securities issued in global form, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities and we will
make all payments on the securities, including deliveries of any property other than cash, 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 do so 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 will not own 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 an interest through a participant. As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect owners, and not holders,
of the securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Street Name Owners </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the future, we may terminate a global security or issue securities initially in non-global form. In these cases, investors may choose to
hold their securities in their own names or in street name. Securities held by an investor in street name would be registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only a
beneficial interest in those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For securities held in street name,
we will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions in whose names the securities are registered as the holders of those securities and we will make all payments on those securities, including deliveries of any
property other than cash, to them. These institutions pass along the payments they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do
so. Investors who hold securities in street name will be indirect owners, not holders, of those securities. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our obligations as well as the obligations of the trustee under any indenture and the obligations, if any, of any warrant agents and unit
agents and any other third parties employed by us, the trustee or any of those agents, run only to the holders of the securities. We do not have obligations to investors who hold beneficial interests in global 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 security or has no choice because we are issuing the 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 that payment or notice even if that
holder is required, under agreements with depositary participants or customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect owners but does not do so. Similarly, if we want to obtain the approval of the holders for any purpose&#151;e.g., to amend an
indenture for a series of debt securities or warrants or the warrant agreement for a series of warrants or to relieve us of the consequences of a default or of our obligation to comply with a particular provision of an indenture&#151;we would seek
the approval only from the holders, and not the indirect owners, of the relevant securities. Whether and how the holders contact the indirect owners is up to the holders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When we refer to &#147;you&#148; in this prospectus, we mean those who invest in the securities being offered by this prospectus, whether they

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As long as any global security is held by Euroclear or Clearstream, you may hold an interest in the global security only through an
organization that participates, directly or indirectly, in Euroclear or Clearstream. If you are a participant in either of those systems, you may hold your interest directly in that system. If you are not a participant, you may hold your interest
indirectly through organizations that are participants in that system. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Payments, deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices and other
matters relating to the securities made through Euroclear or Clearstream must comply with the rules and procedures of those systems. Those systems could change their rules and procedures at any time. We have no control over those systems or their
participants and we take no responsibility for their activities. Transactions between participants in Euroclear or Clearstream on one hand, and participants in DTC, on the other hand, when DTC is the depositary, would also be subject to DTC&#146;s
rules and procedures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Special Timing Considerations for Transactions in Euroclear and Clearstream </I></B></P>

involving any securities held through those systems only on days when those systems are open for business. Those systems may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers and other institutions are open for business in the United States. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, because of time-zone differences, U.S. investors who hold their interests in the securities through these systems, and wish to

Investors who hold their interests through both DTC and Euroclear or Clearstream may need to make special arrangements to finance any purchases or sales of their interests between the U.S. and European clearing systems, and those transactions may
settle later than would be the case for transactions within one clearing system. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We use the term &#147;indexed securities&#148; to mean any of the securities described in this prospectus, or any units that include
securities, whose value is linked to an underlying property or index. Indexed securities may present a high level of risk, and investors in certain indexed securities may lose their entire investment. In addition, the treatment of indexed securities
for U.S. federal income tax purposes is often unclear due to the absence of any authority specifically addressing the issues presented by any particular indexed security. Thus, if you propose to invest in indexed securities, you should independently
evaluate the federal income tax consequences of purchasing an indexed security that apply in your particular circumstances. You should also read &#147;United States Taxation&#148; for a discussion of U.S. tax matters. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Investors in Indexed Securities Could Lose Their Investment </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The amount of principal and/or interest payable on an indexed debt security, the cash value or physical settlement value of a physically
settled debt security and the cash value or physical settlement value of an indexed warrant or stock purchase contract will be determined by reference to the price, value or level of one or more securities, currencies, commodities or other
properties, any other financial, economic or other measure or instrument, including the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or circumstance, one or more indices and/or one or more baskets of any of these items. We refer to each of these as an
&#147;index.&#148; The direction and magnitude of the change in the price, value or level of the relevant index will determine the amount of principal and/or interest payable on an indexed debt security, the cash value or physical settlement value
of a physically settled debt security and the cash value or physical settlement value of an indexed warrant or stock purchase contract. The terms of a particular indexed debt security may or may not include a guaranteed return of a percentage of the
principal amount at maturity or a minimum interest rate. An indexed warrant or stock purchase contract generally will not provide for any guaranteed minimum settlement value. Thus, if you purchase an indexed security that does not guarantee the
return of 100% of the principal or other amount you invest, you may lose all or a portion of the principal or other amount you invest and may receive no interest on your investment. </P>

payments or receive only very low payments on such indexed security. As a result, the overall return on such indexed security may be less than the amount you would have earned by investing the principal or other amount you invest in such indexed
security in a non-indexed debt security that bears interest at a prevailing market fixed or floating rate. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The Issuer That Issues an Index Security

security that serves as an index or part of an index for an indexed security will have no involvement in the offer and sale of the indexed security and no obligations to the holder of the indexed security. The issuer may take actions, such as a
merger or sale of assets, without regard to the interests of the holder. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of a security indexed to that security or to an index of which that security is a component. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Some indices are highly volatile, which means that their value may change significantly, up or down, over a short period of time. It is
impossible to predict the future performance of an index based on its historical performance. The amount of principal or interest that can be expected to become payable on an indexed debt security or the expected settlement value of an indexed
warrant or stock purchase contract may vary substantially from time to time. Because the amounts payable with respect to an indexed security are generally calculated </P>

based on the price, value or level of the relevant index on a specified date or over a limited period of time, volatility in the index increases the risk that the return on the indexed security

may become impossible to calculate in the normal manner, due to events such as war, natural disasters, cessation of publication of the index or a suspension or disruption of trading in one or more securities, commodities or currencies or other

interest on an indexed debt security or the settlement value of an indexed warrant or stock purchase contract, or we may use an alternative method to determine the value of the unavailable index. Alternative methods of valuation are generally
intended to produce a value similar to the value resulting from reference to the relevant index. However, it is unlikely that any alternative method of valuation we use will produce a value identical to the value that the actual index would produce.
If we use an alternative method of valuation for a security linked to an index of this kind, the value of the security, or the rate of return on it, may be lower than it otherwise would be. </P>

as a discount debt security issued at an original issue discount if the amount by which the debt security&#146;s stated redemption price at maturity exceeds its issue price is more than a de minimis amount. Generally, a debt security&#146;s issue
price will be the first price at which a substantial amount of debt securities included in the issue of which the debt security is a part is sold to persons other than bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity
of underwriters, placement agents, or wholesalers. A debt security&#146;s stated redemption price at maturity is the total of all payments provided by the debt security that are not payments of qualified stated interest. Generally, an interest
payment on a debt security is qualified stated interest if it is one of a series of stated interest payments on a debt security that are unconditionally payable at least annually at a single fixed rate, with certain exceptions for lower rates paid
during some periods, applied to the outstanding principal amount of the debt security. There are special rules for variable rate debt securities that are discussed under &#147;&#151;Variable Rate Debt Securities.&#148; <I> </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In general, your debt security is not a discount debt security if the amount by which its stated redemption price at maturity exceeds its
issue price is less than the de minimis amount of 1/4 of one percent of its stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number of complete years to its maturity. Your debt security will have de minimis original issue discount if the amount
of the excess is less than the de minimis amount. If your debt security has de minimis original issue discount, you must include the de minimis amount in income as stated principal payments are made on the debt security, unless you make the election
described below under &#147;&#151;Election to Treat All Interest as Original Issue Discount.&#148; You can determine the includible amount with respect to each such payment by multiplying the total amount of your debt security&#146;s de minimis

matures more than one year from its date of issue, you must include original issue discount, or OID, in income before you receive cash attributable to that income. The amount of OID that you must include in income is calculated using a
constant-yield method, and generally you will include increasingly greater amounts of OID in income over the life of your debt security. More specifically, you can calculate the amount of OID that you must include in income by adding the daily

Form 8886 (Reportable Transaction Statement) if the loss exceeds the thresholds set forth in the regulations. For individuals and trusts, this loss threshold is $50,000 in any single taxable year. For other types of taxpayers and other types of

proceeds from the sale or other disposition of debt securities that can produce U.S.-source interest. Amounts that you receive on the debt securities could be affected by this withholding if you are subject to the information reporting requirements
and fail to comply with them or if you hold debt securities through another person (e.g., a foreign bank or broker) that is subject to withholding because it fails to comply with these requirements (even if you would not otherwise have been subject
to withholding). However, such payments will only include interest and proceeds of notes issued on or after July&nbsp;1, 2014 (provided such notes are not subsequently modified such that they are deemed reissued after such date for United States
federal income tax purposes). In addition, withholding will not apply to payments of gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of debt securities before January&nbsp;1, 2017. Certain countries have entered into, and other countries are
expected to enter into, agreements with the United States to facilitate the type of information reporting desired by the United States. While the existence of such agreements will not eliminate the risk that notes will be subject to FATCA
withholding, these agreements are expected to reduce some risk of FATCA withholding for non-United States persons in such countries. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the relevant U.S. law and other official guidance on FATCA

persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P>

which a particular Security is denominated into United States dollars will depend upon various factors, including which court renders the judgment. In the case of a Security denominated in a foreign currency, under Section&nbsp;27 of the New York
Judiciary Law, a state court in the State of New York rendering a judgment on such Security would be required to render such judgment in the foreign currency in which the Security is denominated, and such judgment would be converted into United
