        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">This prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements. The Company&#8217;s representatives may also make forward-looking statements orally from time to time. Statements in this prospectus or that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company&#8217;s beliefs and expectations, recent business and economic trends, potential acquisitions and estimates of amounts for redeemable noncontrolling interests and deferred acquisition consideration, constitute forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and are subject to change based on a number of factors, including those outlined in this section. See &#8220;Management&#8217;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#8221; in our most recent Annual Report incorporated by reference herein. See &#8220;Where You Can Find Additional Information; Incorporation of Documents by Reference.&#8221; Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any of such statements in light of new information or future events, if any. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Such risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following: </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The Company&#8217;s business strategy includes ongoing efforts to engage in acquisitions of ownership interests in entities in the marketing communications services industry. The Company intends to finance these acquisitions by using available cash from operations, from borrowings under the Company&#8217;s senior secured revolving credit agreement as the same may be amended or replaced from time to time (the &#8220;Credit Agreement&#8221;) and through incurrence of bridge or other debt financing, any of which may increase the Company&#8217;s leverage ratios, or by issuing equity, which may have a dilutive impact on existing shareholders proportionate ownership. At any given time, the Company may be engaged in a number of discussions that may result in one or more acquisitions. These opportunities require confidentiality and may involve negotiations that require quick responses by the Company. Although there is uncertainty that any of these discussions will result in definitive agreements or the completion of any transactions, the announcement of any such transaction may lead to increased volatility in the trading price of the Company&#8217;s securities. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Investors should carefully consider these risk factors and the additional risk factors outlined in more detail in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption &#8220;Risk Factors,&#8221; in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, any Company filings with the SEC, and the other information contained in this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained in the applicable prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectus, before acquiring any of such securities. </div>

          <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;">Perpetual Partnership</font>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The perpetual partnership model creates ongoing alignment of interests between MDC and its Partner Firms to drive the Company&#8217;s overall performance by (1)&#160;identifying the &#8220;right&#8221; Partner Firms with a sustainable differentiated position in the marketplace, (2)&#160;creating the &#8220;right&#8221; partnership structure by taking a majority ownership position and leaving a substantial noncontrolling equity or economic ownership position in the hands of operating management to incentivize long-term growth, (3)&#160;providing succession planning support and compensation models to incentivize future leaders and second-generation executives, (4)&#160;leveraging the network&#8217;s scale to provide access to strategic resources and best practices and (5)&#160;focusing on delivering financial results. </div>
          <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;">Entrepreneurialism</font>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The entrepreneurial spirit of both MDC and its Partner Firms is optimized through (1)&#160;its unique perpetual partnership model that incentivizes senior-level involvement and ambition, (2)&#160;access to shared resources within the Corporate Group that allow individual firms to focus on client business and company growth and (3)&#160;MDC&#8217;s collaborative creation of customized solutions to support and grow Partner Firm businesses. </div>
          <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;">Human and Financial Capital</font>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The perpetual partnership model balances accountability with financial flexibility and meaningful incentives to support growth. </div>
          <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">MDC was formed by Certificate of Amalgamation effective December&#160;19, 1986, pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Effective December&#160;19, 1986, MDC amalgamated with Branbury Explorations Limited, and thereby became a public company operating under the name of MDC Corporation. On January&#160;1, 2004, MDC changed its name to its current name, MDC Partners Inc., and on June&#160;28, 2004, MDC was continued under Section&#160;187 of the Canada Business Corporations Act, as amended (&#8220;CBCA&#8221;). MDC&#8217;s registered address is located at 33 Draper Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 2M3, and its head office address is located at 745 Fifth Avenue, 19<font style=" position:relative; bottom:4.25pt;font-size:7.5pt;">th</font> Floor, New York, New York 10151.

          <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">MDC conducts its business through its network of Partner Firms, the &#8220;Advertising and Communications Group&#8221;, who provide a comprehensive array of marketing and communications services for clients both domestically and globally. The Partner Firms provide a wide range of service offerings, which in some cases are the same or similar service offerings. The core or principal service offerings are the key factors that distinguish the Partner Firms from one another. </div>
          <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The Company determines an operating segment if a component (i)&#160;engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses, (ii) has discrete financial information, and is (iii) regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (&#8220;CODM&#8221;) to make decisions regarding resource </div>

          <div style="width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">allocation for the segment and assess its performance. Once operating segments are identified, the Company performs an analysis to determine if aggregation of its operating segments is consistent with the principles detailed in ASC 280. This determination is based upon a quantitative analysis of the expected and historic average long-term profitability for each operating segment, together with an assessment of the qualitative characteristics set forth in ASC Topic 280-10-50. </div>
          <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The four reportable segments that meet the appropriate aggregation criteria are as follows: &#8220;Global Integrated Agencies&#8221;; &#8220;Domestic Creative Agencies&#8221;; &#8220;Specialist Communications&#8221;; and &#8220;Media Services.&#8221; In addition, the Company combines and discloses those operating segments that do not meet the aggregation criteria as &#8220;All Other.&#8221; The following discussion provides additional detailed disclosure for each of the Company&#8217;s four reportable segments, plus the <font style="font-style:italic;">All Other</font> category, within the Advertising and Communications Group. </div>

          <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The <font style="font-style:italic;">All Other</font> category consists of the Company&#8217;s remaining operating segments that provide a range of diverse marketing communication services, but are not eligible for aggregation with the reportable segments in accordance with ASC 280. </div>
          <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">In addition, MDC reports its corporate office expenses incurred in connection with the strategic resources provided to the operating segments, as well as certain other centrally managed expenses that are not fully allocated to the operating segments as Corporate. Corporate provides client and business development support to the operating segments as well as certain strategic resources, including accounting, administrative, financial, real estate, human resource and legal functions. Additional expenses managed by the corporate office that are directly related to the operating segments are allocated to the appropriate reportable segment and the <font style="font-style:italic;">All Other</font> category. </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:16.99pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preference share dividends is calculated by dividing earnings by fixed charges and preference share dividends. Earnings represent income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to MDC Partners Inc. plus (1)&#160;income tax expense (recovery), (2)&#160;noncontrolling interest in earnings of consolidated subsidiaries, (3)&#160;fixed charges and (4)&#160;distributions received from equity-method investees, less (a)&#160;equity in income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliates and (b)&#160;noncontrolling interest in earnings of consolidated subsidiaries that have not incurred fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest on indebtedness (expensed or capitalized), amortization of debt discount and expense and premium on indebtedness (expensed or capitalized) and interest within rent expense. Deficiency of earnings to fixed charges and preference share dividends is the amount by which fixed charges are in excess of earnings and preference share dividends. Our ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preference share dividends are the same as our ratios of earnings to fixed charges for each of the five&#160;years ended December&#160;31, 2016 because we had no preference shares outstanding during such periods. During the first quarter of 2017, we issued and sold 95,000 Series&#160;4 Preference Shares in a private placement. Our ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preference share dividends is the same as our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the nine&#160;months ended September&#160;30, 2017 because no dividends were declared or paid on preference shares during such period.</div>

        <div style="margin-top:12pt; text-align:center; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">In this section, we describe material features and rights of our capital stock. This summary does not purport to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable law, our Articles of Amalgamation, our Articles of Amendment and our By-laws, each of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Authorized Capitalization </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The authorized capital of MDC consists of an unlimited number of Class&#160;A Shares; an unlimited number of Class&#160;B Multiple Voting Shares, each convertible into one Class&#160;A Share (the &#8220;Class&#160;B Shares&#8221;) (the Class&#160;A Shares and the Class&#160;B Shares are herein referred to collectively as the &#8220;shares&#8221;); and an unlimited number of non-voting preference shares, issuable in series, of which 5,000 Series&#160;1 Preference Shares, 700,000 Series&#160;2 Preference Shares, an unlimited number of Series&#160;3 Preference Shares, 95,000 Series&#160;4 Preference Shares and an unlimited number of Series&#160;5 Preference Shares have been designated. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">As at September&#160;30, 2017, MDC had outstanding 58,372,524 Class&#160;A Shares (including restricted stock awards), 3,755 Class&#160;B Shares, no Series&#160;1 Preference Shares, no Series&#160;2 Preference Shares, no Series&#160;3 Preference Shares, 95,000 Series&#160;4 Preference Shares and no Series&#160;5 Preference Shares. The holders of the Class&#160;A Shares are entitled to one vote in respect of each Class&#160;A Share held in connection with each matter to be acted upon at the annual meeting of the Company&#8217;s shareholders and the holders of the Class&#160;B Shares are entitled to twenty votes in respect of each Class&#160;B Share held in connection with each matter to be acted upon at the annual meeting of the Company&#8217;s shareholders. Approximately 99.9% of the aggregate voting rights attached to the issued and outstanding shares of MDC are represented by the Class&#160;A Shares. Except as required by law, our preference shares do not generally carry voting rights. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The Articles of Amalgamation of MDC contain provisions providing that, in the event an offer is made to purchase Class&#160;B Shares which must, by reason of applicable securities legislation or the requirements of a stock exchange on which the Class&#160;B Shares may be listed, be made to all or substantially all of the Class&#160;B Shares, and which offer is not made on identical terms, as to price per share and&#160;percentage of outstanding shares, to purchase the Class&#160;A Shares, the holders of Class&#160;A Shares shall have the right to convert such shares into Class&#160;B Shares in certain specified instances, including an offer to purchase Class&#160;B Shares that must, by reason of applicable securities legislation or the requirements of a stock exchange on which the Class&#160;B Shares may be listed, be made to all or substantially all holders of Class&#160;B Shares who are in a province of Canada to which the requirement applies, and is not made concurrently with an offer to purchase Class&#160;A Shares that is identical to the offer to purchase Class&#160;B Shares on the same terms and conditions. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Class&#160;A Shares and Class&#160;B Shares </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Voting Rights </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The Class&#160;A Shares carry one vote each. The Class&#160;B Shares carry 20 votes each. Generally, all matters to be voted on by shareholders must be approved by a majority, or, in the case of the election of directors, by a plurality, of the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present by all shares of our Class&#160;A Shares and Class&#160;B Shares present in person or represented by proxy, voting together as a single class, subject to any voting rights granted to holders of any then outstanding preference shares. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Dividend Practice </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The payment of any dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors (the &#8220;Board&#8221;) and will depend upon limitations contained in our Credit Agreement, the indenture governing the $900&#160;million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% notes due 2024, future earnings, capital requirements, our general financial condition and general business conditions.</div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:5.61pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The Class&#160;A Shares are convertible at the option of the holder into one Class&#160;B Share for each Class&#160;A Share after the occurrence of certain events related to an offer to purchase all Class&#160;B Shares, as described above, in &#8220;&#8212;&#8201;Authorized Capitalization.&#8221; The Class&#160;B Shares are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one Class&#160;A Share for each Class&#160;B Share. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The holders of Class&#160;A Shares and Class&#160;B Shares are entitled to receive equally, share for share, after providing for preferential payment of the amounts required to be paid under and in respect of any preference shares ranking in priority, any property that is distributed to the Company&#8217;s shareholders (including any distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, or other distribution of assets among shareholders for the purpose of winding up the MDC&#8217;s affairs). </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Holders of Class&#160;A Shares and Class&#160;B Shares have no preemptive rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class&#160;A Shares or the Class&#160;B Shares. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Holders that are control persons may be restricted in the manner by which they may trade in securities of the issuer. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Preference Shares </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:5.61pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Under our Articles of Amalgamation, the Board has the authority, without further shareholder action, to issue from time to time, non-voting preference shares in one or more series and for such consideration as may be fixed from time to time by the Board. The Board also has the authority to fix and determine, in the manner provided by law, the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any series so established, such as dividend rights. Our Articles of Amalgamation authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of non-voting preference shares. Prior to the issuance of each series of non-voting preference shares, the Board will adopt resolutions creating and designating the series as a series of such shares. Neither our Articles of Amalgamation nor our By-laws contain a restriction on our ability to repurchase or redeem our non-voting preference shares while there is any arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking fund installments. However, our ability to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value our shares is subject to limitations contained in our debt instruments. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">If we offer preference shares, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the preference shares offered through that prospectus supplement, as well as any general terms described in this section that will not apply to those preference shares. In the applicable prospectus supplement, we will also discuss any material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the preference shares. We will file a copy of the certificate of designations that contains the terms of each new series of preference shares with the SEC each time we issue a new series of preference shares. Each certificate of designations will establish the number of shares included in a designated series and fix the designation, powers, privileges, preferences and rights of the shares of each series as well as any applicable qualifications, limitations or restrictions. You should refer to the applicable certificate of designations as well as our Articles of Amalgamation, as amended, before deciding to buy our preference shares as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:5.41pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">On March&#160;7, 2017 (the &#8220;Issuance Date&#8221;), we issued and sold 95,000 Series&#160;4 Convertible Preferences Shares (the &#8220;Series&#160;4 Preference Shares&#8221;) to Broad Street Principal Investments, L.L.C., an affiliate of The Goldman Sachs Group Inc., and certain of its affiliates for an aggregate purchase price in cash of $95.0&#160;million in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Holders of such Series&#160;4 Preference Shares have the right to convert their Series&#160;4 Preference Shares, in whole at any time and from time to time, and in part at any time and from time to time after June&#160;5<font style=" position:relative; bottom:4.25pt;font-size:7.5pt;">th</font>, 2017 into a number of Class&#160;A Shares equal to the then-applicable liquidation preference divided by the applicable conversion price at such time (the &#8220;Conversion Price&#8221;). The initial liquidation preference of each Series&#160;4 Preference Share is $1,000. The initial Conversion Price is $10.00 per Series&#160;4 Preference Share, subject to customary adjustments for share splits and combinations, dividends, recapitalizations and other matters, including weighted average anti-dilution protection for certain issuances of equity or equity-linked securities. </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The Series&#160;4 Preference Shares have a liquidation preference that accretes at 8.0% per annum, compounded quarterly until the five-year anniversary of the Issuance Date. Holders of the Series&#160;4 Preference Shares are entitled to dividends in an amount equal to any dividends that would have been payable on the Class&#160;A Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series&#160;4 Preference Shares. The Series&#160;4 Preference Shares are convertible at the Company&#8217;s option on and after the two-year anniversary of the Issuance Date, (i)&#160;prior to the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date if the closing trading price of the Class&#160;A Shares over a specified period prior to the delivery of a notice of conversion is at least 125% of the then-applicable Conversion Price or (ii) following the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date, if the closing trading price of the Class&#160;A Shares over a specified period prior to the delivery of a notice of conversion is at least equal to the then-applicable Conversion Price. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Following certain change in control transactions of the Company in which holders of Series&#160;4 Preference Shares are not entitled to receive cash or qualifying listed securities with a value at least equal to the then-applicable liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends, (i)&#160;holders will be entitled to cash dividends at an increasing rate (beginning at 7%) multiplied by the then-applicable liquidation preference, and (ii) the Company will have a right to redeem the Series&#160;4 Preference Shares for cash at the greater of their liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends and their as-converted value. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Subject to certain limitations, the Series&#160;4 Preference Shares are not convertible into Class&#160;A Shares, if upon conversion, the holder will beneficially hold more than 19.9% of the Company&#8217;s outstanding common shares or voting power. In the event that such restrictions would prevent the conversion of any Series&#160;4 Preference Shares, such Series&#160;4 Preference Shares will be converted into Series&#160;5 Preference Shares (referred to herein as the &#8220;Series&#160;5 Preference Shares&#8221;), which are a separate series of convertible preference shares of the Company, at the same conversion rate at which the Series&#160;4 Preference Shares would convert into Class&#160;A Shares. The Series&#160;5 Preference Shares, in turn, are convertible into Class&#160;A Shares on a one-to-one basis, subject to certain conversion rate adjustments. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The Series&#160;4 Preference Shares and the Series&#160;5 Preference Shares do not entitle their holders to vote in the election of directors and, other than as required by applicable law, holders of the Series&#160;4 Preference Shares and the Series&#160;5 Preference Shares do not have any other voting rights. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The terms of the Series&#160;5 Preference Shares are generally similar to those of the Series&#160;4 Preference Shares described above, subject to certain differences.

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We have summarized below general terms and conditions of the debt securities that we may offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus. The debt securities will either be senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt securities or subordinated debt securities and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, unsecured, and may be issued in one or more series. When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, we will describe the specific terms and conditions of the series in a prospectus supplement to this prospectus, including the terms, if any, on which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for our Class&#160;A Shares, preference shares or other debt securities. We will also indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement whether the general terms and conditions described in this prospectus apply to the series of debt securities. In addition, the terms and conditions of the debt securities of a series may be different in one or more respects from the terms and conditions described below. If so, those differences will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We will issue senior debt securities in one or more series under a separate base indenture, as supplemented or amended from time to time, between us and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. We will issue senior subordinated debt securities and subordinated debt securities in one or more series under a separate base indenture, as supplemented or amended from time to time, between us and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. For ease of reference, we refer herein to the base indenture relating to any senior debt securities, as amended or supplemented, as the senior indenture, to the base indenture relating to any senior subordinated debt securities or subordinated debt securities, as amended or supplemented, as the subordinated indenture, and collectively, as the indentures and to the trustee under each respective indenture as the trustee. The following summary of provisions of the indentures does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the indentures, including definitions therein of certain terms. </div>
        <div style="margin-left:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:436pt; line-height:12pt;">This summary may not contain all of the information that you may find useful. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The terms and conditions of the debt securities of each series will be set forth in those debt securities and in the applicable indenture. For a comprehensive description of any series of debt securities being offered to you pursuant to this prospectus, you should read both this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We have filed the base indenture for the senior debt securities, the base indenture for the senior subordinated debt securities and the subordinated debt securities and a form of each debt security as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The supplemental indenture or officers&#8217; certificate, reflecting the specific terms and provisions of that series of debt securities, will be filed with the SEC in connection with each offering and will be incorporated by reference in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">You may obtain a copy of the indentures and any form of debt security that has been filed in the manner described under &#8220;Where You Can Find Additional Information; Incorporation of Documents by Reference.&#8221; Capitalized terms used and not defined in this summary have the meanings specified in the applicable indenture.

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We may offer the debt securities from time to time in as many distinct series as we may determine. All debt securities will be either our senior obligations, senior subordinated obligations or subordinated obligations, as the case may be. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The applicable indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue under such indenture. We may, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of any series, issue additional debt securities ranking equally with, and otherwise similar in all respects to, the debt securities of the series (except for the public offering price, the issue date, the first interest payment date and the initial interest accrual date) so that those additional debt securities will be consolidated and form a single series with the debt securities of the series previously offered and sold under a particular indenture. </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The debt securities of each series will be issued in fully registered form without interest coupons. We currently anticipate that the debt securities of each series offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus will be issued as global debt securities as described under &#8220;&#8212;&#8201;Book-Entry; Delivery and Form; Global Securities&#8221; and will trade in book-entry form only. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Debt securities denominated in U.S. dollars will be issued in denominations of&#8201; $2,000 and any integral multiple of&#8201; $1,000 in excess thereof, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. If the debt securities of a series are denominated in a foreign or composite currency, the applicable prospectus supplement will specify the denomination or denominations in which those debt securities will be issued. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will repay the debt securities of each series at 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at maturity, except if those debt securities have been previously redeemed or purchased and cancelled. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Debt securities may be issued as original issue discount securities to be sold at a substantial discount below their principal amount. In the event of an acceleration of the maturity of any original issue discount security, the amount payable to the holder upon acceleration will be determined in the manner described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Certain U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to original issue discount securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">If the purchase price of any debt securities is payable in a foreign currency or if the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any debt securities is payable in a foreign currency, the specific terms of those debt securities and the applicable foreign currency will be specified in the prospectus supplement relating to those debt securities. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The terms of the debt securities of any series may differ from the terms of the debt securities of any other series, and the terms of particular debt securities within any series may differ from each other. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities, we may, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of any series, reopen an existing series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that series. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Unless otherwise described in a prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities and except to the limited extent set forth below under &#8220;&#8212;&#8201;Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets,&#8221; there will be no limitation upon our ability to incur indebtedness or other liabilities or that would afford holders of debt securities protection in the event of a business combination, takeover, recapitalization or highly leveraged or similar transaction involving us. Accordingly, we may in the future enter into transactions that could increase the amount of our consolidated indebtedness and other liabilities or otherwise adversely affect our capital structure or credit rating without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of any series. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities of each series will not be listed on any securities exchange. </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">If specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may elect to redeem all or part of the outstanding debt securities of a series from time to time before the maturity date of the debt securities of that series. Upon such election, we will notify the trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of debt securities of the series to be redeemed. If less than all the debt securities of the series are to be redeemed, the particular debt securities of that series to be redeemed will be selected by the trustee on a <font style="font-style:italic;">pro&#160;rata</font> basis, by lot or by such method as the trustee deems fair and appropriate (subject to the procedures of DTC). The applicable prospectus supplement will specify the redemption price for the debt securities to be redeemed (or the method of calculating such price), in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of those debt securities. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Notice of redemption will be given to each holder of the debt securities to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than 60&#160;days prior to the date set for such redemption. This notice will include the following information, as applicable: the redemption date; the redemption price (or the method of calculating such price); if less than all of the outstanding debt securities of such series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the particular debt securities to be redeemed; the place or places where such debt securities are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; the terms of conversion of the securities; any restrictions or conditions to redemption; and the CUSIP number of the debt securities to be redeemed. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">By no later than 11:00&#160;a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption date, we will deposit or cause to be deposited with the trustee or with a paying agent (or, if we are acting as our own paying agent with respect to the debt securities being redeemed, we will segregate and hold in trust as provided in the applicable indenture) an amount of money sufficient to pay the aggregate redemption price of, and (except if the redemption date shall be an interest payment date or the debt securities of such series provide otherwise) accrued interest on, all of the debt securities or the part thereof to be redeemed on that date. On the redemption date, the redemption price will become due and payable upon all of the debt securities to be redeemed, and interest, if any, on the debt securities to be redeemed will cease to accrue from and after that date. Upon surrender of any such debt securities for redemption, we will pay those debt securities surrendered at the redemption price together, if applicable, with accrued interest to the redemption date. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Any debt securities to be redeemed only in part must be surrendered at the office or agency established by us for such purpose, and we will execute, and the trustee will authenticate and deliver to a holder without service charge, new debt securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denominations as requested by that holder, in a principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the debt securities that holder surrenders. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Repayment at Holder&#8217;s Option </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">If specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holders of the debt securities of a series will have the option to elect repayment of those debt securities by us prior to the stated maturity of the debt securities of that series at a time or times and subject to the conditions specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. If the holders of those debt securities have that option, the applicable prospectus supplement will specify the optional repayment date or dates on which the debt security may be repaid and the optional repayment price, or the method by which such price will be determined. The optional repayment price is the price at which, together with accrued interest to the optional repayment date, the debt security may be repaid at the holder&#8217;s option on each such optional repayment date. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Any tender of a debt security by the holder for repayment will be irrevocable. Any repayment option of a holder may be exercised by the holder of debt securities for less than the entire principal amount of the debt security; provided that the principal amount of the debt security remaining outstanding after repayment will be an authorized denomination. Upon such partial repayment, the debt securities will be canceled and new debt securities for the remaining principal amount will be issued in the name of the holder of the repaid debt securities. </div>

In order to ensure that the depository or its nominee will timely exercise a right to repayment relating to a particular debt security, the beneficial owner of the debt security must instruct the broker or other direct or indirect participant in the depository through which it holds an interest in the debt security to notify the depository of its desire to exercise a right to repayment by the appropriate cut-off time for notifying the participant. Different firms have different cut-off times for accepting instructions from their customers. Accordingly, you should consult the broker or other direct or indirect participant through which you hold an interest in a debt security in order to ascertain the cut-off time by which such an instruction must be given for timely notice to be delivered to the appropriate depository. </div>

Any debt securities that are guaranteed on an unsecured basis will be effectively subordinated to the secured indebtedness of that guarantor to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. Therefore, if we are a creditor of one or more of our subsidiaries that provide an unsecured guarantee of our debt securities, our claims will be effectively subordinated to any security interest in, or mortgages or other liens on, the assets of the subsidiary and would be subordinated to any indebtedness of the subsidiary senior to that held by us. </div>

Our obligation to make payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the senior subordinated debt securities and the subordinated debt securities will not otherwise be affected. </div>

In addition, the applicable prospectus supplement for each series of senior subordinated debt securities and subordinated debt securities may provide that payments on account of principal, any premium, if any, or interest in respect of such senior subordinated debt securities and subordinated debt securities may be delayed or not paid under the circumstances and for the periods specified in that prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any payment by us described in the foregoing sentence is received by the trustee under the subordinated indenture or the holders of any of the senior subordinated debt securities or the subordinated debt securities, as applicable, before all senior indebtedness is paid in full, that payment or distribution will be paid over to the holders of such senior indebtedness or on their behalf for application to the payment of all such senior indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such senior indebtedness has been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such senior indebtedness. Subject to payment in full of our senior indebtedness, the holders of the senior subordinated debt securities and the subordinated debt securities will be subrogated to the rights of the holders of the senior indebtedness to the extent of payments made to the holders of such senior indebtedness out of the distributive share of the senior subordinated debt securities and the subordinated debt securities. </div>

Legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, will be conditioned upon, among other things, the irrevocable deposit by us with the trustee, in trust, of an amount in U.S. dollars, or U.S. government obligations, or both, applicable to the debt securities of that series which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient without reinvestment to pay the principal or premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities on the scheduled due dates therefor. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">If we effect covenant defeasance with respect to the debt securities of any series, the amount in U.S.&#160;dollars, or U.S. government obligations, or both, on deposit with the trustee will be sufficient without reinvestment to pay amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of the stated maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of the acceleration resulting from an event of default. However, we would remain liable to make payment of such amounts due at the time of acceleration. </div>

If we elect legal defeasance, that opinion of counsel must be based upon a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a change in law to that effect. </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">DTC has advised us as follows: DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under New York Banking Law, a &#8220;banking organization&#8221; within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a &#8220;clearing corporation&#8221; within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a &#8220;clearing agency&#8221; registered pursuant to the provisions of Section&#160;17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities of institutions that have accounts with DTC (&#8220;participants&#8221;) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC&#8217;s participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC&#8217;s book-entry system is also available to others such as both U.S.&#160;and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, whether directly or indirectly. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Ownership of Beneficial Interests </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Upon the issuance of each global security, DTC will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal amount of the individual beneficial interests represented by the global security to the accounts of participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in each global security will be limited to participants or persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in each global security will be shown on, and the transfer of those ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to participants&#8217; interests) and such participants (with respect to the owners of beneficial interests in the global security other than participants). </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered holder and owner of a global security, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole legal owner of the debt security represented by the global security for all purposes under the applicable indenture, the debt securities and applicable law. Except as set forth below, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to receive certificated debt securities and will not be considered to be the owners or holders of any debt securities represented by the global security. We understand that under existing industry practice, in the event an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security desires to take any actions that DTC, as the holder of the global security, is entitled to take, DTC would authorize the participants to take such action, and that participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them. No beneficial owner of an interest in a global security will be able to transfer such interest except in accordance with DTC&#8217;s applicable procedures, in addition to those provided for under such indenture. Because DTC can only act on behalf of participants, who in turn act on behalf of others, the ability of a person having a beneficial interest in a global security to pledge that interest to persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise to take actions in respect of that interest, may be impaired by the lack of a physical certificate representing that interest. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">All payments on the debt securities represented by a global security registered in the name of and held by DTC or its nominee will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner and holder of the global security. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We expect that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest in respect of a global security, will credit participants&#8217; accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global security as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial </div>

        <div style="width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">interests in the global security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices as is now the case with securities held for accounts for customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. These payments, however, will be the responsibility of such participants and indirect participants, and neither we, the trustee nor any paying agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in any global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests or for any other aspect of the relationship between DTC and its participants or the relationship between such participants and the owners of beneficial interests in the global security. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for certificated debt securities, each global security may not be transferred except as a whole by DTC to a nominee of DTC or by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC. Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in same-day funds. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">We expect that DTC will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of debt securities only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account the DTC interests in a global security are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an event of default under the debt securities, DTC may exchange each global security for certificated debt securities, which it will distribute to its participants upon request. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Although we expect that DTC will agree to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in each global security among participants of DTC, DTC is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither we, the underwriters nor the trustee will have any responsibility for the performance or nonperformance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The indentures provide that the global securities will be exchanged for debt securities in certificated form of like tenor and of an equal principal amount, in authorized denominations in the following limited circumstances: </div>
        <div style=" float:left; margin-left:20pt; line-height:12pt; margin-top:7.99pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-align:left; width:20pt;white-space:nowrap;">(1)<br ></div>
        <div style=" float:left; margin-top:7.99pt; margin-bottom:0pt; line-height:12pt; text-align:left; width:415.5pt;">DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository or if DTC ceases to be eligible under the applicable indenture and we do not appoint a successor depository within 90&#160;days; </div>

        <div style=" float:left; margin-top:7.99pt; margin-bottom:0pt; line-height:12pt; text-align:left; width:415.5pt;">we determine that the debt securities will no longer be represented by global securities and execute and deliver to the trustee an order to such effect; or </div>

        <div style=" float:left; margin-top:7.99pt; margin-bottom:0pt; line-height:12pt; text-align:left; width:415.5pt;">an event of default with respect to the debt securities will have occurred and be continuing and a request has been made for such exchange. </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">These certificated debt securities will be registered in such name or names as DTC will instruct the trustee. It is expected that such instructions may be based upon directions received by DTC from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in global securities. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The information in this section of this prospectus concerning DTC and DTC&#8217;s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we do not take responsibility for this information. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Euroclear and Clearstream </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">If the depositary for a global security is DTC, you may hold interests in the global security through Clearstream Banking, soci&#233;t&#233; anonyme, which we refer to as &#8220;Clearstream,&#8221; or Euroclear Bank SA/NV, as operator of the Euroclear System, which we refer to as &#8220;Euroclear,&#8221; in each case, as a participant in DTC. Euroclear and Clearstream will hold interests, in each case, on behalf of their participants through customers&#8217; securities accounts in the names of Euroclear and Clearstream on the books of their respective depositaries, which in turn will hold such interests in customers&#8217; securities in the depositaries&#8217; names on DTC&#8217;s books. </div>

        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Payments, deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices and other matters relating to the debt 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 other participants in DTC, on the other hand, would also be subject to DTC&#8217;s rules and procedures. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">Investors will be able to make and receive through Euroclear and Clearstream payments, deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices and other transactions 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. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">In addition, because of time-zone differences, U.S. investors who hold their interests in the debt securities through these systems and wish on a particular day, to transfer their interests, or to receive or make a payment or delivery or exercise any other right with respect to their interests, may find that the transaction will not be effected until the next business day in Luxembourg or Brussels, as applicable. Thus, investors who wish to exercise rights that expire on a particular day may need to act before the expiration date. In addition, investors who hold their interests through both DTC and Euroclear or Clearstream may need to make special arrangements to finance any purchase or sales of their interests between the U.S. and European clearing systems, and those transactions may settle later than transactions within one clearing system. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Governing Law </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The indentures and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The Company consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. </div>
        <div style="margin-top:12pt; width:456pt; line-height:11pt;font-weight:bold;">Regarding the Trustee </div>
        <div style="margin-left:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:436pt; line-height:12pt;">The Bank of New York Mellon is the trustee under each of the indentures. </div>
        <div style="text-indent:20pt; margin-top:6pt; width:456pt; line-height:12pt;">The Trust Indenture Act of 1939 limits the rights of a trustee, if the trustee becomes a creditor of us to obtain payment of claims or to realize on property received by it in respect of those claims, as security or otherwise. Any trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions with us and our subsidiaries from time to time. However, if a trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in each indenture) it must eliminate the conflict upon the occurrence of an event of default under the applicable indenture or resign as trustee. </div>
