Under U.S. federal income tax law, backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) may apply to payments on the Securities, including the redemption payment, made to certain Holders who fail to furnish the Paying Agent with a valid taxpayer identification number. Holders of the Securities 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 Securities for payment (or, if applicable, should submit a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or other certification establishing an exemption from withholding). Each Holder is urged to consult with his, her or its own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences of the redemption to such Holder, including the applicability and effect of federal, state, local and other tax laws.
* The CUSIP number has been assigned to this issue by CUSIP Global Services (managed by Standard & Poors) and is included solely for the convenience of the Holders of the Securities. No representation is being made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number either as printed on the Securities or as contained herein. The Holder may rely only on the identification numbers printed on his, her or its Security and the redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.
