<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">This
prospectus, including the documents we incorporate by reference
into it, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section&#xA0;27A of the Securities Act, and Section&#xA0;21E of the
Exchange Act, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
(the &#x201C;PSLRA&#x201D;) or in releases made by the SEC. Such
statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our
expectations, hopes or intentions regarding the future. Statements
that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements. These
forward looking statements can often be identified by their use of
words such as &#x201C;expect,&#x201D; &#x201C;believe,&#x201D;

The forward-looking statements contained in or incorporated by
reference into this prospectus are largely based on our
expectations, which reflect estimates and assumptions made by our
management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best
judgment based on currently known market conditions and other
factors. Although we believe such estimates and assumptions to be
reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and</font> involve
certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our
control. If any of those risks and uncertainties materialize,
actual results could differ materially from those discussed in any
such forward-looking statement. Among the factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those discussed in
forward-looking statements are those discussed under the heading
&#x201C;Risk Factors&#x201D; below, those discussed under the heading
&#x201C;Risk Factors&#x201D; and in other sections of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&#xA0;31, 2019, as

the future may rank senior to the Common Stock with respect to the
payment of dividends or amounts upon our liquidation, dissolution

more difficult a merger or other change in control. The issuance of

to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, us or

stockholder&#x201D; for two years after such person first becomes an

directors and sixty percent of the corporation&#x2019;s voting power

affiliates and associates. Furthermore, in the absence of prior
approval certain restrictions may apply even after such two-year

stockholder&#x201D; is any person who is (1) the beneficial owner,
directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power
of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (2) an

&#x201C;acquisition of controlling interest&#x201D; statutes (NRS
78.378 through 78.3793, inclusive) contain provisions governing the
acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada
corporations. These &#x201C;control share&#x201D; laws provide
generally that any person that acquires a &#x201C;controlling
interest&#x201D; in certain Nevada corporations may be denied voting
rights, unless a majority of the disinterested stockholders of the
corporation elects to restore such voting rights. These laws would
apply to us if we were to have 200 or more stockholders as of the
record date (at least 100 of whom have had addresses in Nevada
appearing on our stock ledger at all times during the 90 days
immediately preceding such date) and do business in the State of
Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation, unless the
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws in effect on the tenth day
after the acquisition of a controlling interest provide otherwise.
These laws provide that a person acquires a &#x201C;controlling
interest&#x201D; whenever a person acquires shares of a subject
corporation that, but for the application of these provisions of
the NRS, would enable that person to exercise (1) one-fifth or
more, but less than one-third, (2) one-third or more, but less than
a majority or (3) a majority or more, of all of the voting power of
the corporation in the election of directors. Once an acquirer
crosses one of these thresholds, shares which it acquired in the
transaction taking it over the threshold and within the 90 days
immediately preceding the date when the acquiring person acquired
or offered to acquire a controlling interest become &#x201C;control
shares&#x201D; to which the voting restrictions described above

<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">Generally,
under NRS 78.335, one or more of the incumbent directors may be
removed from office by the vote of stockholders representing
two-thirds or more of the voting power of the issued and
outstanding stock entitled to vote. In addition, if a court of
competent jurisdiction, or other governmental entity or regulatory
agency with authority over the corporation requires, without
providing any other reasonable and practicable alternative, that
any specified director cease to be a director in order for the
corporation to obtain, or avoid the suspension, conditioning or
revocation of, any permit, license, registration, franchise,
finding of suitability or similar authorization or approval
required for the conduct of all or any material portion of the
business of the corporation or any of its affiliates taken as a
whole and such requirement is not appealable or has otherwise
become final after declination or exhaustion of all appeals
therefrom, then that specified director may be removed as a
director by not less than a majority of the voting power of the
other directors, even if less than a quorum, acting at a meeting
and not by written consent and without a vote of the stockholders.
The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws authorize only the Board
to fill vacant directorships. In addition, the number of directors
constituting the Board is set only by resolution adopted by a
majority vote of the entire Board. These provisions prevent a
stockholder from increasing the size of the Board and gaining
control of the Board by filling the resulting vacancies with its
own nominees.</font></div>

<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">We may
issue debt securities in one or more distinct series. This section
summarizes the material terms of the debt securities that are
common to all series. Most of the financial terms and other
specific material terms of any series of debt securities that we
offer will be described in a prospectus supplement or term sheet to
be attached to the front of this prospectus. Since the terms of
specific debt securities may differ from the general information
provided below, you should rely on information in the prospectus

<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">As
required by federal law for all bonds and notes of companies that
are publicly offered, the debt securities are governed by a
document called an &#x201C;indenture.&#x201D; An indenture is a
contract between us and a financial institution acting as trustee
on your behalf. The trustee has two main roles. First, the trustee
can enforce your rights against us if we default. There are some
limitations on the extent to which the trustee acts on your behalf,
described in the second paragraph under &#x201C;Events of
Default.&#x201D; Second, the trustee performs certain administrative
duties for us.</font></div>

<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">Because
this section is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of the
debt securities and the indenture. We urge you to read the
indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights
as a holder of debt securities. For example, in this section, we
use capitalized words to signify terms that are specifically
defined in the indenture. Some of the definitions are repeated in
this prospectus, but for the rest you will need to read the
indenture. See &#x201C;Where to Find More Information&#x201D; for

approximately two weeks prior to the interest due date, is called
the &#x201C;record date.&#x201D; Because we will pay all the interest
for an interest period to the holders on the record date, holders
buying and selling debt securities must work out between themselves
the appropriate purchase price. The most common manner is to adjust
the sales price of the debt securities to prorate interest fairly
between buyer and seller based on their respective ownership
periods within the particular interest period. This prorated
interest amount is called &#x201C;accrued

paying agent appropriate transfer instructions at least 15 calendar

interest payment due on an interest payment date, the instructions
must be given by the person who is the holder on the relevant

after October 1, 2003) provide for greater individual liability, a
director or officer is not individually liable to a corporation or
its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any
act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or
officer unless determined that the presumption that directors and
officers are presumed to act in good faith, on an informed basis
and with a view to the interest of the corporation has been
rebutted and it is proven that: (i) the act or failure to act
constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director
or officer and (ii) the breach of those duties involved intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.</font></div>

78.7502(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of
the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys&#x2019; fees,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action,
suit or proceeding if the person (i) is not liable pursuant to NRS
78.138 or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was
unlawful. NRS 78.7502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify
any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or
in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in
settlement and attorneys&#x2019; fees actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement
of the action or suit if the person (a) is not liable pursuant to
NRS 78.138 or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he or
she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation. Any discretionary indemnification
pursuant to NRS 78.7502, unless ordered by a court or advanced
pursuant to NRS 78.751(2), may be made by the corporation only as
authorized in each specific case upon a determination that the
indemnification of a director, officer, employee or agent of a
corporation is proper under the circumstances. Such determination
must be made by the stockholders, the board of directors, by
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties to the action, suit or proceeding; or independent legal
counsel, in a written opinion, if (y)&#x2002;a majority vote of a
quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action,
suit or proceeding so orders; or (z) a quorum consisting of
directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding
cannot be obtained. The termination of any action, suit or
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself,
create a presumption that the person is liable pursuant to NRS
78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that the
conduct was unlawful. Indemnification may not be made for any
claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged
by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all
appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts
paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the
extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or
other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application
that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as
the court deems proper.</font></div>

78.751, requiring mandatory indemnification of officers, directors,
employees, and agents, provides that a corporation shall indemnify
any person who is a director, officer, employee or agent to the
extent that the person is successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of: (a)&#x2002;any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, including, without limitation, an action by or in
the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that the person
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,

(b)&#x2002;any claim, issue or matter therein, against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with
defending the action, including, without limitation,
attorney&#x2019;s fees. NRS 78.751(2) provides that unless otherwise
restricted by the corporation&#x2019;s articles of incorporation or
bylaws, or an agreement made by the corporation, the corporation
may pay expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a
civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as they are incurred
and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or
proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the director
or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.
The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by
the corporation may require the corporation to pay such expenses
upon receipt of such an undertaking.</font></div>

indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer

of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities

such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
