 account rules of the investor’s financial institution and of the depositary, as well as general laws relating to securities transfers. We do not recognize this type of investor as a holder of securities and instead deal only with the depositary that holds the global security. Investors in securities that are issued only in the form of global securities should be aware that:

| • |     | they cannot get securities registered in their own name; |

| • |     | they cannot receive physical certificates for their interests in securities; |

| • |     | they will be a street name holder and must look to their own bank or broker for payments on the securities and                                                         
 protection of their legal rights relating to the securities, as explained earlier under “—Legal Ownership; Form of Securities—Street Name and Other Indirect Holders”; |

| • |     | they may not be able to sell interests in the securities to some insurance companies and other institutions that 
 are required by law to own their securities in the form of physical certificates;                                |

| • |     | the depositary’s policies will govern payments, transfers, exchange and other matters relating to their                                                                                                                                            
 interest in the global security. We and the trustee have no responsibility for any aspect of the depositary’s actions or for its records of ownership interests in the global security. We and the trustee also do not supervise the depositary in 
 any way; and                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |

| • |     | the depositary will require that interests in a global security be purchased or sold within its system using same-day funds. |

Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated In a few special situations described below, the global security will terminate and interests in it will be exchanged for physical certificates representing securities. After that exchange, the choice of whether to hold the securities directly or in street name will be up to the investor. Investors must consult their own bank or brokers to find out how to have their interests in a global security transferred to their own name so that they will be -52-

registered holders. The rights of street name investors and registered holders in the securities have been described above in the sections entitled “—Legal Ownership; Form of Securities—Street Name and Other Indirect Holders; Registered Holders.” The special situations for termination of a global security are:

| • |     | when (x) the depositary has notified us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or 
 (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act;                           |
