Ranking
The notes will be:

· our unsecured senior indebtedness and will rank equally with each other

and with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from
time to time outstanding;

· structurally subordinated to any indebtedness and preferred stock, if any, of

our subsidiaries; and

· effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness to the extent of the

value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

The indenture does not restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to incur

indebtedness. See "Description of the Notes--Ranking."

Further issuances
We reserve the right, from time to time and without the consent of any holders
of the notes, to re-open each series of notes on terms identical in all respects
to the outstanding notes of such series (except for the date of issuance, the
date interest begins to accrue and, in certain circumstances, the first interest
payment date), so that such additional notes will be consolidated with, form a
single series with and increase the aggregate principal amount of the notes of
such series. See "Description of the Notes--General."

Risk factors
An investment in the notes involves risk. You should consider carefully the
specific factors set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" beginning on page
S-7 of this prospectus supplement, as well as the other information set forth
and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus, before investing in any of the notes offered hereby.

Trading
Each series of the notes is a new issue of securities with no established
trading market. We do not intend to apply for listing of any series of the notes
on any securities exchange. The underwriters have advised us that they
currently intend to make a market in each series of the notes. However, the
underwriters are not obligated to do so, and any market-making with respect to
the notes may be discontinued, in their sole discretion, at any time without
notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading markets for
the notes. See "Underwriting."

RISK FACTORS
Investing in the notes involves risks. Before making a decision to invest in the notes, you should carefully consider the risks
described in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016 under the
heading "Risk Factors," which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as
well as the risks set forth below. See "Where You Can Find More Information" in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus.

Filed Pursuant to Rule 424B2
The notes are structurally subordinated to the liabilities of our subsidiaries.
The notes are our obligations exclusively and not of any of our subsidiaries. A significant portion of our operations is conducted
through our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries are separate legal entities that have no obligation to pay any amounts due under the
notes or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividends, loans or other payments. Except to the extent we are a
creditor with recognized claims against our subsidiaries, all claims of creditors (including trade creditors) and holders of preferred
stock, if any, of our subsidiaries will have priority with respect to the assets of such subsidiaries over our claims (and therefore the
claims of our creditors, including holders of the notes). Consequently, the notes will be effectively subordinated to all existing and
future liabilities of any of our subsidiaries and any subsidiaries that we may in the future acquire or establish.
The notes are subject to prior claims of any secured creditors, and if a default occurs, we may not have sufficient funds to fulfill our
obligations under the notes.
The notes are our unsecured general obligations, ranking equally with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. As
of December 31, 2016, we had $77.4 billion of unsecured senior notes and $10.5 billion of unsecured short-term promissory notes
outstanding but no secured senior debt outstanding. The indenture governing the notes permits us to incur additional debt,
including secured debt. If we incur any secured debt, our assets will be subject to prior claims by our secured creditors. In the
event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding up, assets that secure debt will be available to pay obligations
on the notes only after all debt secured by those assets has been repaid in full. Holders of the notes will participate in our
remaining assets ratably with all of our unsecured and unsubordinated creditors, including our trade creditors. If we incur any
additional obligations that rank equally with the notes, including trade payables, the holders of those obligations will be entitled to
share ratably with the holders of the notes and the previously issued notes in any proceeds distributed upon our insolvency,
liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to
you. If there are not sufficient assets remaining to pay all these creditors, all or a portion of the notes then outstanding would
remain unpaid.
The indenture governing the notes does not contain financial covenants and only provides limited protection against significant
corporate events and other actions we may take that could adversely impact your investment in the notes.
While the indenture governing the notes contains terms intended to provide protection to the holders of the notes upon the
occurrence of certain events involving significant corporate transactions, such terms are limited and may not be sufficient to protect
your investment in the notes.
The indenture for the notes does not:

·
require us to maintain any financial ratios or specific levels of net worth, revenues, income, cash flow or liquidity and,

accordingly, does not protect holders of the notes in the event we experience significant adverse changes in our financial
condition;

S-7
Table of Contents
·
limit our ability to incur indebtedness that is secured, senior to or equal in right of payment to the notes, or to engage in

sale/leaseback transactions;

·
restrict our subsidiaries' ability to issue securities or otherwise incur indebtedness that would be senior to our equity

interests in our subsidiaries and therefore rank effectively senior to the notes;

·
restrict our ability to repurchase or prepay any other of our securities or other indebtedness;

·
restrict our ability to make investments or to repurchase or pay dividends or make other payments in respect of our

common stock or other securities ranking junior to the notes;

·
restrict our ability to enter into highly leveraged transactions; or

·
require us to repurchase the notes in the event of a change in control.
As a result of the foregoing, when evaluating the terms of the notes, you should be aware that the terms of the indenture and
the notes do not restrict our ability to engage in, or to otherwise be a party to, a variety of corporate transactions, circumstances
and events that could have an adverse impact on your investment in the notes.
Active trading markets for the notes may not develop.
