 purchased
the Notes for cash in the original issuance at the stated issue price and does not address other circumstances specific to you, including
consequences that may arise due to any other investments relating to an Underlying. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the
effect any such circumstances may have on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your ownership of a Note.

Although not free from doubt, in the opinion of
our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, the Notes will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as debt, and the
remainder of this discussion so assumes. Based on current market conditions, we intend to treat the Notes for U.S. federal income tax
purposes as “contingent payment debt instruments,” as described in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax
Consequences to U.S. Holders — CPDI Securities” in the accompanying product supplement. Under this treatment, the Notes will
be subject to special original issue discount (“OID”) provisions set out in Treasury regulations, under which, regardless
of your method of tax accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you generally will be required to accrue interest income in each
year on a constant yield to maturity basis at the “comparable yield,” as determined by us, adjusted upward or downward to
reflect the difference, if any, between the actual and projected payments on the Notes during the year. Upon a taxable disposition of
a Note, you generally will recognize taxable income or loss equal to the difference between the amount received from the taxable disposition
and your adjusted basis in the Note. You generally must treat any income realized as interest income and any loss as ordinary loss to
the extent of previous interest inclusions, with the balance treated as capital loss, the deductibility of which is subject to limitations.

Our treatment of the Notes as contingent payment
debt instruments generally will be binding on you but not the IRS, and, as noted above, is based on current market conditions. You should
consult your tax adviser regarding possible alternative treatments, including whether the Notes could be treated as issued with OID but
not subject to the contingent payment debt instrument rules, which treatment could be adverse to you.

Non-U.S. Holders.If you are a non-U.S.
holder (as defined in the accompanying product supplement), we do not believe that you should be required to provide an IRS Form W-8 in
order to avoid 30% U.S. withholding tax with respect to interest
