 of transfer or exchange of the debt securities. We may, however, require the payment of any tax or other governmental charge payable for that registration. Debt securities of any series will be exchangeable for other debt securities of the same series with the same total principal amount and the same terms but in different authorized denominations in accordance with the applicable indenture. Holders may present debt securities for registration of transfer at the office of the security registrar or any transfer agent we designate. The security registrar or transfer agent will effect the transfer or exchange when it is satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making the request.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we will appoint the trustee under each indenture as security registrar for the debt securities we issue under that indenture. If a prospectus supplement refers to any transfer agent initially designated by us, we may at any time rescind that designation or approve a change in the location through which any transfer agent acts. We will be required to maintain an office or agency for transfers and exchanges in each place of payment. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents for any series of debt securities or rescind the designation of any transfer agent. In the case of any redemption, neither the security registrar nor the transfer agent will be required to register the transfer or exchange of any debt security:

| • | during a period beginning 15 business days before the day of mailing of the relevant notice of redemption and ending on the close of business on that day of mailing; or |

| • | if we have called the debt security for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt security being redeemed in part. |

Payment and Paying Agent Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we will make payments on the debt securities in U.S. dollars at the office of the applicable trustee or any paying agent we designate. At our option, we may make payments by check mailed to the holder’s registered address or, with respect to global debt securities, by wire transfer. Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we will make interest payments to the person in whose name the debt security is registered at the close of business on the record date for the interest payment. Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we will designate the trustee under each indenture as our paying agent for payments on debt securities we issue under that indenture. We may at any time designate additional paying agents or rescind the designation
