CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES A summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences that will apply to holders of debt securities is set forth under "United States Federal Income Tax Consequences-Debt Securities" in the Prospectus. Holders should note that the backup withholding tax rate of 31% referenced in the Prospectus under "United States Federal Income Tax Consequences-Debt Securities-Information Reporting and Backup Withholding-United States Holders" has been reduced to 28% for payments made through 2010, after which time the rate will revert back to 31% absent Congressional action.

Consequences to Non-United States Holders United States Federal Estate Tax Your estate will not be subject to United States federal estate tax on debt securities beneficially owned by you at the time of your death provided that: * any payment to you on the debt securities would be eligible for exemption from the 30% United States federal withholding tax under the rules described in the bullet points under "United States Federal Income Tax Consequences- Debt Securities-Consequences to Non-United States Holders-United States Federal Withholding Tax," without regard to the certification requirements of the fourth bullet point; and * interest on those debt securities would not have been, if received at the time of your death, effectively connected with the conduct by you of a trade or business in the United States. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Non-United States Holders If you are a non-United States holder of debt securities, we must report annually to the IRS and to you the amount of payments we make to you and the tax withheld with respect to such payments, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such payments and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which you reside under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. You will not be subject to backup withholding regarding payments we make to you provided that we do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person and we have received from you the statement described above in the fourth bullet point under "United States Federal Income Tax Consequences-Debt Securities-Consequences to Non-United States Holders-United States Federal Withholding Tax." In addition, you will be subject to information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding regarding the proceeds of the sale of a debt security made within the United States or conducted through United States- related intermediaries, unless the payor receives the statement described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person, or you otherwise establish an exemption. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.
