PRICE STABILIZATION AND SHORT POSITIONS<br />
In connection with the offering, the underwriters are permitted to engage in transactions that<br />
stabilize the market price of the senior notes. Such transactions consist of bids or purchases to peg, fix<br />
or maintain the price of the senior notes. If the underwriters create a short position in the senior notes<br />
in connection with the offering, i.e., if they sell more senior notes than are on the cover page of this<br />
prospectus, the underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing senior notes in the open<br />
market. Purchases of a security to stabilize the price or to reduce a short position could cause the price<br />
of the security to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases.<br />
Neither we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation or prediction as to the direction<br />
or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the senior<br />
notes. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation that the<br />
underwriters will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be<br />
discontinued without notice.<br />
OTHER RELATIONSHIPS<br />
Some of the underwriters and their affiliates have engaged with us in, and may in the future<br />
engage with us in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of<br />
business. They have received, and may receive, customary fees, expenses and commissions for these<br />
transactions.<br />
SELLING RESTRICTIONS<br />

permit a public offering of the securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for<br />
that purpose is required. The securities offered by this prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly<br />
or indirectly, nor may this prospectus or any other offering material or advertisements in connection<br />
with the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except<br />

jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this prospectus comes are advised to inform themselves<br />
about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus.<br />
This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities<br />
offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.<br />
