Under U.S. federal income tax law, backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) may apply to payments on the Notes, including the Redemption Payment, made to certain Holders who fail to furnish the Trustee with a valid taxpayer identification number. Holders of the Notes who wish to avoid the imposition of such withholding tax should submit certified taxpayer identification numbers on a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 when presenting their Notes for payment (or, if applicable, should submit a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or other certification establishing an exemption from withholding).

 

* The CUSIP number has been assigned to this issue by CUSIP Global Services (managed by S&P Global Market Intelligence on behalf of the American Bankers Association) and is included solely for the convenience of the Holders of the Notes.  No representation is being made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number either as printed on the Notes or as contained herein and the Holder may rely only on the identification numbers printed on its Note.
