market does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the shares may be adversely affected. If the shares are traded, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for
similar securities, general economic conditions, our performance and business prospects, and certain other factors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Holders of the shares

on the dividend determination date and the applicable spread. Absent manifest error, the calculation agent&#146;s determination of the dividend rate for a dividend period for the shares will be binding and conclusive on you, the transfer agent, and
us. A &#147;London banking day&#148; is any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. The term &#147;three-month LIBOR&#148; means the London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars
having an index maturity of three months in amounts of at least $1,000,000, as that rate appears on Reuters screen page &#147;LIBOR01&#148; at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the relevant dividend determination date. If no offered rate
appears on Reuters screen page &#147;LIBOR01&#148; on the relevant dividend determination date at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, then the calculation agent, after consultation with us, will select four major banks in the London interbank
market and will request each of their principal London offices to provide a quotation of the rate at which three-month deposits in U.S. dollars in amounts of at least $1,000,000 are offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market, on
that date and at that time, that is representative of single transactions at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, three-month LIBOR will be the arithmetic average (rounded upward if necessary to the nearest .00001 of 1%) of the
quotations provided. Otherwise, the calculation agent will select three major banks in New York City and will request each of them to provide a quotation of the rate offered by it at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the dividend
determination date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having an index maturity of three months for the applicable dividend period in an amount of at least $1,000,000 that is representative of single transactions at that time. If
three quotations are provided, three-month LIBOR will be the arithmetic average (rounded upward if necessary to the nearest .00001 of 1%) of the quotations provided. Otherwise, three-month LIBOR for the next dividend period will be equal to

&#147;clearing agency&#148; registered pursuant to the provisions of Section&nbsp;17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over
2&nbsp;million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues and money market instruments from over 85 countries that DTC&#146;s participants (&#147;Direct Participants&#148;) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates
the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants&#146; accounts. This eliminates the
need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing Corporation (&#147;DTCC&#148;). DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of Direct Participants of DTC and members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Government Securities Clearing Corporation,
MBS Clearing Corporation and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation (NSCC, GSCC, MBSCC and EMCC, also subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC and the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a
Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (&#147;Indirect Participants&#148;). DTC has Standard&nbsp;&amp; Poor&#146;s highest rating: AAA. The DTC rules applicable to its Direct and Indirect Participants are on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Purchases of shares under the DTC system must
be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the shares on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of shares (&#147;Beneficial Owner&#148;) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and
Indirect Participants&#146; records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners, however, are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transactions, as well as
periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participants through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the shares are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of
Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in shares, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the shares is
discontinued. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">To facilitate subsequent transfers, all shares deposited by Direct Participants with DTC is registered in the
name of DTC&#146;s partnership nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of shares with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. or such other DTC
nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the shares; DTC&#146;s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such shares are credited, which
may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the shares of shares within an issue are being redeemed, DTC&#146;s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct
Participant in such issue to be redeemed. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by

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 shares are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to
the Omnibus Proxy). </FONT></P>

syndicate short position. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or
purchases of shares made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the shares while the offering is in progress. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

character of amounts that holders would be required after the defeasance to include in income might be different from that which would be includible in the absence of the defeasance. You should consult your own tax advisors as to the specific
consequences of a defeasance, including the applicability and effect of tax laws other than United States federal income tax laws. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>
