Table of Contents
RISK FACTORS
Investing in the notes involves a high degree of risk. Before you decide to invest in the notes, you should carefully consider the risk
factors set forth below, as well as the risks and uncertainties described under the caption "Risk Factors" in the accompanying
prospectus and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are
incorporated by reference into the accompanying prospectus and may be obtained as described under "Where You Can Find More
Information" therein, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the
documents incorporated and deemed to be incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus and any related free writing
prospectus. Each of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and
the occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the notes. In addition, the information
contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated and deemed to be incorporated
by reference in the accompanying prospectus includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We refer you to
the "Forward-Looking Statements" section of this prospectus supplement for information regarding some of the risks and uncertainties
inherent in forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking
statements as a result of many factors, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, the
accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated and deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.
We may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, which may impair our ability to make payments on the notes.
At June 30, 2012, we had approximately $12 million of secured indebtedness outstanding, $550 million of senior unsecured
indebtedness outstanding under our $2.0 billion commercial paper program and approximately $1.5 billion of other senior unsecured
indebtedness outstanding. We also have a $3.0 billion revolving credit facility under which we maintain $2.0 billion of available borrowing
capacity in order to repay commercial paper borrowings in the event we are unable to repay those borrowings from other sources when they
come due. As of June 30, 2012, no borrowings or letters of credit were outstanding under this revolving credit facility and, accordingly,
$1.0 billion of borrowing capacity was available for other purposes permitted by this credit facility.
In addition to the substantial indebtedness incurred by issuing the notes in this offering, we may incur substantial additional
indebtedness in the future, including under our commercial paper program and revolving credit facility or through public offerings or private
placements of debt securities. The notes offered by this prospectus supplement and the indenture pursuant to which the notes will be issued
do not place any limitation on the amount of unsecured debt that we or our subsidiaries may incur. Our outstanding indebtedness and any
additional indebtedness we incur may have important consequences for you as a holder of the notes, including, without limitation, the
following:

· we will be required to use cash to pay the principal of and interest on our indebtedness;

· our indebtedness and leverage may increase our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic and industry conditions, as

well as to competitive pressure;

· our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, share repurchases and other

general corporate and other purposes may be limited; and

· our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry may be limited.
Our ability to make payments of principal of and interest on our indebtedness (including the notes) depends upon our future
performance, which will be subject to general economic conditions, industry cycles and financial, business and other factors affecting our
consolidated results of operations and financial condition,
