ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE NOTES
Book-Entry System
We will issue the notes as a master global note registered in the name of DTC, or its nominee. The sale of the notes will
settle in immediately available funds through DTC. You will not be permitted to withdraw the notes from DTC except in the
limited situations described in the accompanying prospectus under "Legal Ownership and Book-Entry Issuance -- What Is a
Global Security? -- Holder's Option to Obtain a Non-Global Security; Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be
Terminated". Investors may hold interests in a master global note through organizations that participate, directly or indirectly,
in the DTC system.
When We Can Redeem the Notes
We will be permitted to redeem the notes at our option before their stated maturity, as described below. The notes will
not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund that is, we will not deposit money on a regular basis into any separate
custodial account to repay your note. In addition, you will not be entitled to require us to buy your note from you before its
stated maturity.
We will have the right to redeem the notes at our option, in whole but not in part, on each March 9, June 9, September 9
and December 9 on or after March 9, 2012, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date. We will provide not less than five business days' prior
notice in the manner described under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Notices" in the attached prospectus. If
the redemption notice is given and funds deposited as required, then interest will cease to accrue on and after the
redemption date on the notes. If any redemption date is not a business day, we wil pay the redemption price on the next
business day without any interest or other payment due to the delay.
What are the Tax Consequences of the Notes
You should careful y consider, among other things, the matters set forth under "United States Taxation" in the
accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The fol owing discussion summarizes certain of the
material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership, and disposition of each of the notes.
This summary supplements the section "United States Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus and is subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth therein.
The notes should not be treated as issued with "original issue discount" ("OID") despite the fact that the interest rate on
the notes is scheduled to step-up over the term of the notes because Treasury regulations general y deem an issuer to
exercise a cal option in a manner that minimizes the yield on the debt instrument for purposes of determining whether a debt
instrument is issued with OID. The yield on the notes would be minimized if we cal the notes immediately before the increase
in the interest rate on September 9, 2017 and therefore the notes should be treated as maturing on such date for OID
purposes. This assumption is made solely for purposes of determining whether the note is issued with OID for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and is not an indication of our intention to cal or not to cal the notes at any time. If we do not cal the
notes prior to the increase in the interest rate then, solely for OID purposes, the note will be deemed to be reissued at their
adjusted issue price on September 9, 2017. This deemed issuance should not give rise to taxable gain or loss to holders. The
same analysis would apply to the increase in the interest rate on September 9, 2020, and therefore the notes should never
be treated as issued with OID for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Under this approach, the coupon on a note will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary interest income at the time it
accrues or is received in accordance with the U.S. holder's normal method of accounting for tax purposes (regardless of
whether we cal the notes).

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/886982/000119312511241077/...
Table of Contents
Upon the disposition of a note by sale, exchange, redemption or retirement (i.e., if we exercise our right to cal the notes
or otherwise) or other disposition, a U.S. holder will generally recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference, if any,
between (i) the amount realized on the disposition (other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which
would be treated as such) and (ii) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the note. A U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in a note
generally will equal the cost of the note (net of accrued interest) to the U.S. holder. If you are a non-corporate U.S. holder,
long-term capital gain that you recognized in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013 is general y taxed at a maximum
rate of 15%. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.
