 the regulations the Department of Treasury has promulgated under the Code, which we refer to as Treasury regulations, judicial authority, published administrative positions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, which we refer to as the IRS, and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date of this prospectus supplement, and all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. We have not sought any ruling from the IRS with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with our statements and conclusions. This summary only describes the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to beneficial owners of notes that purchase the notes in this offering at their “issue price”, which is generally the price at which a substantial amount of the notes are sold to the public (excluding bond houses and brokers), and that will hold the notes as “capital assets” within the meaning of section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment).

This summary also does not discuss the tax considerations applicable to persons that hold notes as part of a hedge, straddle, synthetic security or conversion transaction, persons that purchase or sell notes as part of a wash sale for tax purposes, or situations in which the functional currency of a U.S. holder
