IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION
Under current United States federal income tax law, backup withholding, currently at a rate of 28%, generally may apply to the payment of gross redemption proceeds, unless (i) in the case of a non-corporate holder that is a beneficial owner of notes and that is a United States person (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), the paying agent has received a properly completed IRS Form W-9 setting forth the holders taxpayer identification number, certified under penalty of perjury, or (ii) the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. A holder that is a beneficial owner of notes and that is not a United States person (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) generally may establish an exemption from backup withholding by providing to the paying agent an IRS Form W-8BEN or other appropriate IRS Form W-8, upon which it certifies its foreign status.
