ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This document is in two parts. The first part is the prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of the Senior
Notes and certain other matters relating to us and our financial condition. The second part, the accompanying base prospectus, gives
more general information about Senior Debt Securities we may offer from time to time, some of which does not apply to the Senior
Notes we are offering at this time. Generally, when we refer to the prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document
combined. To the extent the description of the Senior Notes in the prospectus supplement differs from the description of Senior Debt
Securities in the accompanying base prospectus, you should only rely on the information in the prospectus supplement.
You should rely only on the information contained in this document or to which this document refers you, or in other offering
materials filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We have not authorized anyone, and we have not
authorized the underwriters to authorize anyone, to provide you with different information. We take no responsibility for, and can
provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any different or inconsistent information. This document may only be used where it is
legal to sell these securities. The information which appears in this document and which is incorporated by reference in this document
may only be accurate as of the date of this prospectus supplement or the date of the document in which incorporated information
appears. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since the date of such information.

THE OFFERING
The Senior Notes
We are offering $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes will mature on August 1,
2041.
The Senior Notes will be represented by one or more global certificates that will be deposited with or held on behalf of and
registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (DTC) or its nominee. This means that you will
not receive a certificate for your Senior Notes but, instead, will hold your interest through DTC's system.
Interest Payment Dates
Interest on the Senior Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1, commencing on February
1, 2012.
Record Dates
So long as the Senior Notes remain in book-entry only form, the record date for each Interest Payment Date will be the close
of business on the business day before the applicable Interest Payment Date.
If the Senior Notes are not in book-entry only form, the record date for each Interest Payment Date will be the close of
business on the fifteenth calendar day prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date (whether or not a business day).
Ranking
The Senior Notes rank equally with all of our other senior unsecured indebtedness, and are senior in right of payment to all
our subordinated indebtedness. The Senior Indenture contains no restrictions on the amount of additional indebtedness that we
may incur. Additionally, because we are a holding company that conducts all of our operations through our subsidiaries, holders
of Senior Notes will generally have a junior position to claims of creditors of our subsidiaries. See DESCRIPTION OF THE
SENIOR NOTES--Ranking on page S-12.
Optional Redemption
We may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time at the redemption prices described in DESCRIPTION OF THE
SENIOR NOTES--Optional Redemption on page S-13, plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date. The Senior Notes may not
be redeemed at any time at the option of the holder.
No Listing of the Senior Notes
The Senior Notes are not listed and we do not plan to apply to list the Senior Notes on any securities exchange or to include
them in any automated quotation system.
Use of Proceeds
We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes for general corporate purposes and to repay short-term
debt including commercial paper. See USE OF PROCEEDS on page S-8.
