The Exchange Offer
On November 16, 2017, we completed the offering of $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 2.900% senior notes due 2023 and
$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 3.700% senior notes due 2028. The offering was made in transactions not requiring registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). As part of the offering, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the
representatives of the initial purchasers of such senior notes in which we agreed, among other matters, to deliver this prospectus and to complete an
exchange offer for such senior notes.
The following is a summary of some of the terms of the exchange offer. For a more detailed description, see "The Exchange Offer."

The Exchange Offer
We are offering to exchange (i) $2,000 principal amount of our 2.900% senior notes due
2023 (and integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount in excess thereof), which have been
registered under the Securities Act (the "2023 exchange notes"), for each $2,000 principal
amount of our outstanding 2.900% senior notes due 2023 (and integral multiples of $1,000
principal amount in excess thereof), which we originally issued on November 16, 2017 (the
"2023 original notes"), and (ii) $2,000 principal amount of our 3.700% senior notes due 2028
(and integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount in excess thereof), which have been
registered under the Securities Act (the "2028 exchange notes"), for each $2,000 principal
amount of our outstanding 3.700 % senior notes due 2028 (and integral multiples of $1,000
principal amount in excess thereof), which we originally issued on November 16, 2017 (the
"2028 original notes"). The 2023 original notes and the 2028 original notes were not
registered under the Securities Act. Unless we specify otherwise or the context indicates
otherwise, we refer to the 2023 exchange notes and the 2028 exchange notes together as the
"exchange notes" and the 2023 original notes and 2028 original notes together as the
"original notes." We also refer to the exchange notes and the original notes together as the
"notes."

To be exchanged, an original note must be properly tendered and accepted. All original notes
that are validly tendered and not withdrawn will be exchanged. As of the date of this

prospectus, there are $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2023 original notes
outstanding and $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2028 original notes outstanding.
We will issue exchange notes promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer.

Resales of Exchange Notes
Based on interpretations by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
in no-action letters issued to third parties with respect to other transactions, we believe that
the exchange notes issued in the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold or
otherwise transferred by you without compliance with the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act as long as:


· you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business;

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/813828/000119312518323454/d540128d424b3.htm[11/9/2018 12:38:36 PM]


424B3
· you have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a

distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the exchange notes; and

· you are not our affiliate within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act,

which defines "affiliate" as a person that, directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled
by, or is under common control with, a specified person.

If you do not satisfy the foregoing conditions, in the absence of an exemption, you must
comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in

connection with the resale of the exchange notes. If you fail to comply with these
requirements, you may incur liabilities under the Securities Act, and we will not indemnify
you for such liabilities.

Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for original
notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities
must acknowledge that it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any offer to resell, resale or other
transfer of the exchange notes issued in the exchange offer. We have agreed in a registration

rights agreement that, for a period beginning on the date on which the exchange offer is
consummated and ending on the earlier of 180 days after the date of this prospectus and the
date on which a broker-dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection
with market-making activities or other trading activities, we will make this prospectus, as
amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any
such resale. For additional information, see "Plan of Distribution."

Expiration Date
The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 12, 2018,
unless extended by us.

Withdrawal Rights
You may withdraw tenders of the original notes at any time prior to the expiration of the
exchange offer. For additional information, see "The Exchange Offer--Terms of the
Exchange Offer."

Conditions to the Exchange Offer
The exchange offer is subject to customary conditions, which we may waive in our sole
discretion, subject to applicable law. For additional information, see "The Exchange Offer--
Conditions to the Exchange Offer." The exchange offer for either series of original notes is
not conditioned upon the exchange of any minimum aggregate principal amount of original
notes of such series.

Procedures for Tendering Original Notes
If you wish to accept the exchange offer, you must (i) complete, sign and date the
accompanying letter of transmittal, or a facsimile copy of such letter, in accordance with its
instructions and the instructions in

3
Table of Contents
this prospectus, and (ii) mail or otherwise deliver the executed letter of transmittal, together
with the original notes and any other required documents, to the exchange agent at the
address set forth in the letter of transmittal. If you are a broker, dealer, commercial bank,

trust company or other nominee and you hold original notes through The Depository Trust
Company ("DTC") and wish to accept the exchange offer, you must do so pursuant to DTC's
procedures. For additional information, see "The Exchange Offer--Procedures for
Tendering."

If you are a beneficial owner whose original notes are registered in the name of a broker,
dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender your
original notes in the exchange offer, we urge you to contact promptly the person or entity in
whose name your original notes are registered and instruct that person or entity to tender
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/813828/000119312518323454/d540128d424b3.htm[11/9/2018 12:38:36 PM]


424B3
those original notes on your behalf. If you wish to tender original notes in the exchange offer

on your own behalf, before completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering
your original notes, you must either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of
your original notes in your name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the person
or entity in whose name your original notes are registered. The transfer of registered
ownership may take considerable time.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures
If you wish to tender your original notes and your original notes are not immediately
available or you cannot deliver your original notes, the letter of transmittal or any other
required documents to the exchange agent (or comply with the procedures for book-entry
transfer) prior to the expiration date, you must tender your original notes according to the
guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in "The Exchange Offer--Guaranteed Delivery
Procedures."

Consequences of Failure to Exchange
If you do not exchange your original notes, they will remain entitled to the rights and subject
to the limitations contained in the indenture pursuant to which the original notes were issued.
Following the exchange offer, all outstanding original notes will continue to be subject to the
same restrictions on transfer, and we will have no obligation to register outstanding original
notes under the Securities Act (except in the limited circumstances provided in the
registration rights agreement) or to pay contingent increases in interest based on our original
registration obligation.

Use of Proceeds
We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes in the
exchange offer.

Taxation
The exchange pursuant to the exchange offer generally will not be a taxable event for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. For additional information, see "U.S. Federal Income Tax
Considerations--Exchange of Original Notes for Exchange Notes."

Table of Contents
RISK FACTORS
Investing in the exchange notes involves risks. You should carefully consider the risks set forth below and the risks described in the "Risk Factors"
section beginning on page I-16 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which are incorporated by reference into this
prospectus, as well as the other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before making a decision whether to invest in the
exchange notes. See "Where You Can Find Additional Information" in this prospectus for information about how you can obtain or view copies of
incorporated information.
If an active trading market for the exchange notes does not develop or is not sustained, you may not be able to resell them at their fair market value or
at all.
The exchange notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. An active trading market may not develop or be sustained for
the exchange notes. We do not intend to list the exchange notes on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system. The liquidity of any
trading market in the exchange notes, and the market price quoted for the exchange notes, may be adversely affected by changes in the overall market for
fixed income securities or in prevailing interest rates, changes in our financial performance or prospects or in the prospects for companies in our industry
in general, and other factors, including general economic conditions. If an active trading market does not develop or is not sustained, you may not be able
to resell your exchange notes at their fair market value or at all.
The exchange offer may be canceled or delayed.
The consummation of the exchange offer is subject to, and conditional upon, the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions discussed under "The
Exchange Offer--Conditions to the Exchange Offer." We may, at our option and in our sole discretion (subject to applicable legal requirements), waive
any such conditions. Even if the exchange offer is completed, the exchange offer may not be completed on the schedule described in this prospectus.
Accordingly, holders participating in the exchange offer may have to wait longer than expected to receive their exchange notes, during which time those
holders of the original notes will not be able to effect transfers of their original notes tendered for exchange.
Late deliveries of original notes and other required documents could prevent you from exchanging your original notes for exchange notes.
Holders are responsible for complying with all exchange offer procedures. The issuance of exchange notes in exchange for original notes will occur
only upon completion of the procedures described in this prospectus under "The Exchange Offer." Therefore, holders of original notes that wish to
exchange them for exchange notes should allow sufficient time for timely completion of the exchange offer procedures. Neither we nor the exchange agent
are obligated to extend the exchange offer or notify you of any failure to follow the proper procedures or to waive any defect if you fail to follow the proper
procedures.
If you fail to exchange your original notes for exchange notes, it may be difficult to resell your original notes.
The original notes were not registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state, and if you do not exchange your original
notes for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer, you will not be able to offer, sell or otherwise transfer the original notes unless they are registered
under the Securities Act or unless you offer, sell or otherwise transfer them under an exemption from the registration requirements of, or in a transaction
not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Following the exchange offer, we will no longer be under an obligation to register
outstanding original notes under the Securities Act except in the limited circumstances provided in the registration rights agreement. In addition, any

notes. Because we expect that most holders of original notes will elect to exchange their original notes, the liquidity of any trading market for any original
