we may issue shares of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights, which could adversely affect the holders of shares of our common stock. </P>

statement of which this prospectus is a part. The indentures will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the &#147;Trust Indenture Act&#148;). We use the term &#147;indenture trustee&#148; to refer to either the senior

which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each global security (&#147;beneficial owner&#148;) is in turn recorded on the direct and indirect participants&#146; records. A
beneficial owner does not receive written confirmation from DTC of its purchase, but is expected to receive a written confirmation providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of its holdings, from the direct or indirect
participants through which such beneficial owner entered into the action. Transfers of ownership interests in securities are accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners do not
receive certificates representing their ownership interests in securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the securities is discontinued. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To facilitate subsequent transfers, the securities are registered in the name of DTC&#146;s partnership nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. The
deposit of the securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. will effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities; DTC records reflect only the identity
of the direct participants to whose accounts securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Delivery of notice and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants, and by direct

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither DTC nor Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. consents or votes with respect to the securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails a proxy (an
&#147;Omnibus Proxy&#148;) to the issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co.&#146;s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited on the
record date (identified on a list attached to the Omnibus Proxy). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments, if any, on
the securities will be made to DTC. DTC&#146;s practice is to credit direct participants&#146; accounts on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings as shown on DTC&#146;s records, unless DTC has reason to believe that it will
not receive payment on the payment date. Payments by participants to beneficial owners are governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in
&#147;street name,&#148; and are the responsibility of such participant and not of DTC, the trustee or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest, if any, to DTC
is our or the trustee&#146;s responsibility, disbursement of such payments to direct participants is DTC&#146;s responsibility and disbursement of such payments to the beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants. </P>

completed, Commission rules may limit the ability of any underwriters and selling group members to bid for and purchase the securities. As an exception to these rules, representatives of any underwriters are permitted to engage in certain
transactions that stabilize the price of the securities. These transactions may consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. If the underwriters create a short position in the applicable
securities in connection with any offering (in other words, if they sell more securities than are set forth on the cover page of the applicable prospectus supplement), the representatives of the underwriters may reduce that short position by
purchasing securities in the open market. The representatives of the underwriters may also elect to reduce any short position by exercising all or part of any overallotment option we may grant to the underwriters, as described in the prospectus
supplement. The representatives of the underwriters may also impose a penalty bid on certain underwriters and selling group members. This means that if the representatives purchase securities in the open market to reduce the underwriters&#146; short
position or to stabilize the price of the securities, they may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from the underwriters and selling group members who sold those shares as part of the offering. </P>

higher than it might be in the absence of those purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have an effect on the price of the securities to the extent that it discourages resales of the securities. The transactions described above may
have the effect of causing the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the representatives of the underwriters may discontinue any of the transactions at any time. In addition, the representatives of any
