equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their
customers. These investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. The Agent has informed us that it
or its affiliates that have a lending relationship with us routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management
policies. The Agent has also informed us that it and its affiliates would typically hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either
the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the Notes offered hereby. Any such short
positions could adversely affect the future market value of the Notes offered hereby. The Agent may also make investment recommendations and/or
publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they
acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments. In addition, the business, hedging and trading activities of the Agent and its

any hedging and trading activities the Agent or its affiliates engage in for its clients' accounts may negatively affect the market value and return of the
Notes and may create conflicts of interest with you.

Fees Charged: The Sel ing Price includes the Gross Concession of $15, reflecting commissions earned by the Agent, and an additional charge of
approximately $7.50 per $1,000 in principal amount of the Notes, reflecting an estimated profit earned by the Agent from transactions through which the
Notes are structured and resulting obligations hedged. Actual profits or losses of the Agent from these hedging transactions may be more or less than this
amount. In entering into the hedging arrangements for the Notes, we seek competitive terms and may enter into hedging transactions with the Agent or
one of its affiliates. Al charges related to the Notes, including the Gross Concession and the hedging related costs and charges, reduce the initial
economic value of the Notes. If you attempt to sell the Notes prior to the Maturity Date, their market value may be lower than the price you paid for the
Notes due to, among other things, the inclusion of these charges and various credit, market and economic factors. Neither we nor the Agent are required
to make a market in the Notes.
