Ranking
The notes are unsecured and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our
other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.

The notes will effectively rank junior to all liabilities of our subsidiaries. As of
January 25, 2014, our subsidiaries had approximately $5.1 billion of

outstanding liabilities, including trade payables but excluding intercompany
liabilities and deferred revenue.

Optional Redemption
We may redeem the fixed rate notes, in whole or in part, at any time at the
applicable make-whole premium redemption price described under the heading
"Description of Notes--Optional Redemption" in this prospectus supplement.
The floating rate notes will not be redeemable.

Certain Covenants
The indenture governing the notes contains covenants limiting our ability and our
wholly-owned subsidiaries' ability to:

· create certain liens and enter into sale and lease-back transactions; and

· consolidate or merge with, or sell substantially all our assets to, another

person.


You should read "Description of Debt Securities--Covenants" in the
accompanying prospectus for a description of these covenants. Exceptions to
these covenants will allow us and our subsidiaries to create, grant or incur liens
or security interests with respect to our headquarters and certain material
facilities.

Use of Proceeds
We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate
purposes, including (i) to repay $3.75 billion aggregate principal amount of our
outstanding senior unsecured notes that mature in 2014 and (ii) to return capital
to shareholders pursuant to our previously-announced capital allocation strategy
through the repurchase of shares of our common stock and the payment of cash
dividends. See "Use of Proceeds."

Risk Factors
See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-7 of this prospectus supplement for
important information regarding us and an investment in the notes.

Further Issuances
We may create and issue additional notes of any series ranking equally with the
notes of the corresponding series (other than the payment of interest accruing
prior to the issue date of such additional notes or except, in some cases, for the
first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional notes). Such
notes may be consolidated and form a single series with the notes of the
corresponding series; provided that if such additional notes are not fungible
with the notes of the applicable series offered hereby for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, such additional notes will have one or more separate CUSIP
numbers.
