 the notes. As a result, the price of one or more series of the notes may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. The
underwriters are not required to engage in any of these activities. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time without notice. These transactions may be effected in the

Other Relationships

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading,
commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. From time to time in the ordinary course of their respective businesses, certain of
the underwriters and their affiliates have engaged in and may in the future engage in commercial banking, financial advisory, derivatives and/or investment banking transactions with us and our affiliates. Affiliates of some of the underwriters are
agents under our commercial paper program for which these affiliates have been and will be paid customary fees. In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad
array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities
activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the issuer. If any of the underwriters or their affiliates have a lending relationship with us, certain of those underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, certain other of those
underwriters or their affiliates have hedged and may in the future hedge or otherwise reduce their exposure, and certain other of those underwriters may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies.
Typically, these underwriters and their affiliates would hedge or otherwise reduce such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities,
including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment
recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.
