STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per unit paid by purchasers of units in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common

deduction of the estimated offering expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value as of September&nbsp;30, 2009, would have been approximately $17,040,000, or $0.27 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net

required by federal law for all bonds and notes of companies that are publicly offered, the debt securities will be governed by a document called an &#147;indenture.&#148; An indenture is a contract between a financial institution, acting on your
behalf as trustee of the debt securities offered, and us. The debt securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture that we will enter into with a trustee that will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. When we refer to the
&#147;indenture&#148; in this prospectus, we are referring to the indenture under which your debt securities are issued, as may be supplemented by any supplemental indenture applicable to your debt securities. The trustee has two main roles. First,
subject to some limitations on the extent to which the trustee can act on your behalf, the trustee can enforce your rights against us if we default on our obligations under the indenture. Second, the trustee performs certain administrative duties
for us with respect to the debt securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Unless otherwise provided in any applicable prospectus supplement, the following
section is a summary of the principal terms and provisions that will be included in the indenture. This summary is not complete. Because this section is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of the debt securities or the indenture. If we
refer to particular provisions in the indenture, such provisions, including the definition of terms, are incorporated by reference in this prospectus as part of this summary. We urge you to read the indenture and any supplement thereto that are
applicable to you because the indenture, and not this section, defines your rights as a holder of debt securities. The form of indenture is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. </FONT></P> <P

global security represents one or any other number of individual debt securities. Generally, all debt securities represented by the same global securities will have the same terms. Each debt security issued in book-entry form will be represented by
a global security that we deposit with and register in the name of a financial institution or its nominee that we select. The financial institution that we select for this purpose is called the depositary. Unless we specify otherwise in the
applicable prospectus supplement, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, known as DTC, will be the depositary for all debt securities that we issue in book-entry form. A global security may not be transferred to or registered in the name
of anyone other than the depositary or its nominee, unless special termination situations arise. We describe those situations below under &#147;&#151;Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated.&#148; As a result of these
arrangements, the depositary, or its nominee, will be the sole registered holder of all debt securities represented by a global security, and investors will be permitted to own only beneficial interests in a global security. Beneficial interests
must be held by means of an account with a broker, bank, or other financial institution that in turn has an account either with the depositary or with another institution that has an account with the depositary. Thus, an investor whose security is
represented by a global security will not be a registered holder of the debt security, but an indirect holder of a beneficial interest in the global security. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:2%"><FONT
