Additional risks and uncertainties that are not yet identified may also materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition and could result in a loss of your investment.</font></div><div id="i4e5314d282824c119bd750b8a182e1a9_25"></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Risks Related to Non-Participation in the Exchange Offer</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">The Original Notes are subject to transfer restrictions.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Exchange Notes will be registered pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC of which this prospectus forms a part. On the other hand, we have not registered the Original Notes under the Securities Act. Consequently, the Original Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States unless they are registered or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. As a result, holders of the Original Notes who do not participate in the Exchange Offer will face additional restrictions on the resale of their Original Notes as compared to the Exchange Notes, and such holders may not be able to sell their Original Notes at the time they wish or at prices acceptable to them. In addition, we do not anticipate that we will register the Original Notes under the Securities Act and, if you are eligible to exchange your Original Notes in the Exchange Offer and do not exchange your Original Notes in the Exchange Offer, you will no longer be entitled to have those Original Notes registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, subject to limited exceptions.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">The liquidity of any trading market that currently exists for the Original Notes may be adversely affected by the Exchange Offer, and holders who fail to participate in the Exchange Offer may find it more difficult to sell their Original Notes after the Exchange Offer is completed.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">To the extent tenders of Original Notes for exchange in the Exchange Offer are accepted by us and the Exchange Offer is completed, the trading market for the Original Notes that remain outstanding following the completion of the Exchange Offer may be significantly more limited. The remaining Original Notes may command lower prices than comparable issues of securities with greater market liquidity and, if they currently qualify for inclusion in certain indices, may no longer qualify for inclusion. Reduced market values and reduced liquidity may also make the trading prices of the remaining Original Notes more volatile. As a result, the market prices for the Original Notes that remain outstanding after the completion of the Exchange Offer may be adversely affected as a result of the Exchange Offer.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Certain credit ratings for the Original Notes may be withdrawn following the Exchange Offer.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Certain credit ratings on the unexchanged Original Notes may be withdrawn after the completion of the Exchange Offer, which could materially adversely affect the market price and liquidity for the unexchanged Original Notes.</font></div><div id="i4e5314d282824c119bd750b8a182e1a9_28"></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Risks Related to Participation in the Exchange Offer</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">The Exchange Offer may be cancelled or delayed.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The consummation of the Exchange Offer is subject to, and conditional upon, the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions discussed under &#8220;Description of the Exchange Offer&#8212;Conditions to the Exchange Offer.&#8221; We may, at our option and in our sole discretion, waive any such conditions.

The liquidity of any trading market for, and future trading prices of, the Exchange Notes will depend on many factors, including, among other things, the number of holders of the Exchange Notes, our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects, prevailing interest rates, changes in our credit rating or outlook, the market for similar securities and the overall securities market, and may be adversely affected by unfavorable changes in these factors.

In such a case, a holder of the Exchange Notes who, as a result of trading such amounts, holds a principal amount of less than the minimum specified denomination in its account with the participant to whose account the noteholder&#8217;s interest in the Exchange Notes is credited at the relevant time may not receive a certificated note in respect of such holding (should certificated Exchange Notes be printed) and would need to purchase a principal amount of Exchange Notes such that its holding amounts to at least the minimum specified denomination.</font></div><div id="i4e5314d282824c119bd750b8a182e1a9_52"></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Ratings of the Exchange Notes may not reflect all risks of an investment in the Exchange Notes.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We expect that the Exchange Notes will be rated initially by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

Any rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold any particular security, including the Exchange Notes. These ratings do not comment as to market prices or suitability for a particular investor. The ratings of the Exchange Notes may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure and other factors on any trading market for, or market prices of, your Exchange Notes. In addition, ratings at any time may be lowered, placed on negative outlook or watch or withdrawn in their entirety. Any ratings downgrade could increase our cost of borrowing or require certain actions to be performed to rectify such a situation.</font></div><div id="i4e5314d282824c119bd750b8a182e1a9_55"></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">An increase in market interest rates could result in a decrease in the value of the Exchange Notes.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In general, as market interest rates rise, debt securities bearing interest at a fixed rate decline in value because the premium, if any, over market interest rates will decline.

DTC holds securities that its participants, known as DTC participants, deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among DTC participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through computerized records for DTC participants&#8217; accounts. This eliminates the need to exchange certificates. DTC participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">DTC&#8217;s book-entry system is also used by other organizations such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that work through a DTC participant.
