Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the information set forth herein under “ Risk Factors ” and the other information in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein by reference in deciding whether to purchase the Notes.

No Public Market

The Notes are new issues of securities with no established trading markets. We do not intend to apply for the Notes to be listed on any securities exchange or to arrange for the Notes to be quoted on any quotation system. Certain of the underwriters have advised us that they intend to make markets in the Notes, but they are not obligated to do so. The underwriters may discontinue any market-making in the Notes at any time without notice at their sole discretion. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that a liquid trading market will develop for the Notes, that you will be able to sell your Notes at a particular time or that the prices you receive when you sell will be favorable. If the Notes are traded, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending on prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, our operating performance and financial condition, general economic conditions and other factors.
