ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE NOTES

Book-Entry System

We wil issue the notes as a master global note registered in the name of DTC, or its nominee. The sale of the
notes wil settle in immediately available funds through DTC. You wil 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 Wil Be Terminated". Investors may hold interests in a master global note through organizations that
participate, directly or indirectly, in the DTC system.

Survivor's Option to Request Repayment

Fol owing the death of the beneficial owner of a note, so long as that note was owned by that beneficial owner or
the estate of that beneficial owner for at least six months prior to the request, if requested by the authorized
representative of the beneficial owner of that note (subject to the limitations described below), we agree to redeem any
notes prior to the stated maturity unless the notes:

·
have been previously redeemed or otherwise repaid, or

·
have been declared due and payable before their stated maturity by reason of an event of default under

the 2008 Indenture, as more ful y described in the accompanying prospectus under "Description of Debt
Securities We May Offer -- Default, Remedies and Waiver of Default".

Upon the valid exercise of the option to request repayment described in the preceding paragraph (Survivor's Option)
and the proper tender of that note for repayment (subject to the limitations described below), we wil redeem that note,
in whole or in part (but in amounts of not less than $1,000), at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the note
plus any unpaid interest accrued to (but excluding) the date of repayment.

Incapital LLC has advised that it intends to make a market in the notes. Depending on market conditions, including
changes in interest rates, and our creditworthiness, the value of the notes may be greater than their principal amount
plus any unpaid interest accrued. Accordingly, the authorized representative should contact Incapital LLC to
determine the market price of the notes and should otherwise carefully consider whether to sell the notes to
Incapital LLC or another market participant rather than redeeming the notes at the principal amount plus
accrued interest pursuant to a request for redemption.

To be valid, the Survivor's Option must be exercised by or on behalf of the person who has:

·
authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner of the note, including, without limitation, the

personal representative or executor of the deceased beneficial owner or the surviving joint owner with the
deceased beneficial owner, under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction, and

·
the right to sel , transfer or otherwise dispose of an interest in a note and the right to receive the proceeds

from the note, as wel as the principal and interest payable to the holder of the note.

Table of Contents

The fol owing wil be deemed the death of a beneficial owner of a note, and the entire principal amount of the note
so held wil be subject to redemption by us upon request (with the limitations described below):

·
death of a person holding a beneficial ownership interest in a note as a joint tenant or tenant by the entirety

with another person, a tenant in common with the deceased holder's spouse or a tenant in common with a
person other than such deceased person's spouse;

·
death of a person who at the time of his or her death was a beneficiary of a revocable or irrevocable trust

that holds a beneficial ownership interest in a note may, in the discretion of the Trustee, be deemed the
death of a beneficial owner of that note, if such beneficial trust interest can be established to the
satisfaction of us and the Trustee; and

·
death of a person who, at the time of his or her death, was entitled to substantial y all of the beneficial

ownership interests in a note regardless of whether that beneficial owner was the registered holder of that
note, if entitlement to those interests can be established to the satisfaction of us and the Trustee.

In addition, a beneficial ownership interest wil be deemed to exist:

·
in typical cases of nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform

Gifts to Minors Act, community property or other joint ownership arrangements between a husband and
wife; and

·
in custodial and trust arrangements where one person has all of the beneficial ownership interests in the

applicable note at the time of his or her death.

We have the discretionary right to limit the aggregate principal amount of notes as to which exercises of the
Survivor's Option shall be accepted by us from authorized representatives:

·
of all deceased beneficial owners in any calendar year to an amount equal to 2% of the principal amount

of al outstanding notes offered by this pricing supplement as of the end of the most recent calendar year
(two percent aggregate limitation); and

·
of any individual deceased beneficial owner of notes to $250,000 in any calendar year ($250,000

limitation).

In addition, we wil not permit the exercise of the Survivor's Option except in principal amounts of $1,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

We may, at our option and pursuant to the exercise of the Survivor's Option, redeem interests of any deceased
beneficial owner in the notes in any calendar year in excess of the $250,000 limitation. Any optional redemption by us of
this kind, to the extent it exceeds the $250,000 limitation for any deceased beneficial owner, wil not be included in the
computation of the two percent aggregate limitation for redemption of the notes for that or any other calendar year.

We may also, at our option and pursuant to the exercise of the Survivor's Option, redeem interests of deceased
beneficial owners in the notes in any calendar year in an aggregate principal amount exceeding the two percent
aggregate limitation. Any optional redemption by us of this kind, to the extent it exceeds the two percent aggregate
limitation, wil not be considered in calculating the two percent aggregate limitation for any other calendar year.

Furthermore, any optional redemption with respect to a deceased beneficial owner's interest in the notes is
inapplicable with respect to any other deceased beneficial owner's interest in the notes. In other

words, we may waive any applicable limitations with respect to a deceased beneficial owner but not make the same or
similar waivers with respect to other deceased beneficial owners.

Each election to exercise the Survivor's Option wil be accepted in the order that elections are received by the
Trustee, except for any note the acceptance of which would contravene either the two percent aggregate limitation or
the $250,000 limitation. Upon any determination by us to redeem notes in excess of the $250,000 limitation or the two
percent aggregate limitation, notes wil be redeemed in the order of receipt of redemption requests by the Trustee.
Each tendered note that is not accepted in any calendar year due to the application of either the two percent aggregate
limitation or the $250,000 limitation wil be deemed to be tendered in the fol owing calendar year in the order in which al
such notes were original y tendered.

Notes accepted for repayment through the exercise of the Survivor's Option wil be redeemed on the earlier of the
June 15th or December 15th interest payment date that occurs 60 or more calendar days after the date of the
acceptance. For example, if the acceptance date of a note tendered through a valid exercise of the Survivor's Option is
May 1, 2012, and interest on that note is paid monthly on the 15th of every month, we would normally, at our option,
repay that note on the interest payment date occurring on December 15, 2012, because the June 15, 2012 interest
payment date would occur less than 60 days from the date of acceptance. Any redemption request may be withdrawn
by the person(s) presenting the request upon delivery of a written request for withdrawal given by the participant on
behalf of the person(s) to the Trustee not less than 30 days before the redemption date. If a note tendered through a
valid exercise of the Survivor's Option is not accepted, the Trustee wil deliver a notice by first-class mail to the
participant through whom the note was tendered that states the reason that note has not been accepted for redemption.

With respect to notes represented by a master global note (such as these notes), DTC or its nominee is the
depositary and is treated as the holder of the notes and the institution that has an account with the depositary of the
notes is referred to as the "participant".

To obtain redemption pursuant to exercise of the Survivor's Option for a note, the deceased beneficial owner's
authorized representative must provide the fol owing items to the participant in DTC through which the beneficial interest
in the note is held by the deceased beneficial owner:

· a written request for redemption signed by the authorized representative of the deceased beneficial owner with

the signature guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial
Institution Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or
correspondent in the United States and a written instruction to notify the Trustee of the authorized
representative's desire to obtain redemption pursuant to exercise of the Survivor's Option;

· appropriate evidence satisfactory to us and the Trustee:

(a) that the deceased was the beneficial owner of the note at the time of death and his or her interest in the
note was owned by the deceased beneficial owner or his or her estate for at least six months prior to the
request for redemption,

(b) that the death of the beneficial owner has occurred,

(c) of the date of death of the beneficial owner, and

(d) that the representative has authority to act on behalf of the beneficial owner;
