” 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. Accordingly,
our final determination regarding the treatment of the Notes will be made based on market conditions as of the pricing date and is therefore
subject to change. 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 payments on the Notes, although the IRS could challenge this position.
However, you should in any event expect to be required to provide an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or other documentation in order to establish
an exemption from backup withholding, as described under the heading “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences
to Non-U.S. Holders” in the accompanying product supplement.

As discussed under “U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences — Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders — Withholding Under Section 871(m) of the Code” in the accompanying
product supplement, Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”)
