If the depositary for a series of debt securities is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as depositary and a
successor depositary is not appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue certificated debt securities of that series in exchange for the global note held by that depositary. In addition, we may at any time and in our sole discretion, subject to any

If any amount payable on any debt security remains unclaimed at the end of two years after the amount became due and payable, the paying agent or trustee will return that amount to us. (Section 1003) Events of Default Unless we indicate otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the following are events of default under the indenture with respect to any series of
