Non-U.S. holders described in the first bullet above will be required to pay tax on the net gain derived from the sale or other disposition under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates generally applicable to a United States person, and a corporate non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet above also may be subject to the branch profits tax at a 30% rate, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. Non-U.S. holders described in the second bullet above will be required to pay a flat 30% tax (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the gain derived from the sale or other disposition, which gain may generally be offset by U.S. source capital losses for the year (provided such non-U.S. holders have timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses). Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the application of the foregoing rules to their ownership and disposition of our common stock.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Generally, we must report annually to the IRS the amount of distributions (including constructive distributions) on our common stock paid to non-U.S. holders, their names and addresses and the amount of tax withheld, if any. A similar report will be sent to non-U.S. holders. Pursuant to applicable income tax treaties or other agreements, the IRS may make these reports available to tax authorities in a non-U.S. holder’s country of residence. Unless a non-U.S. holder complies with certification procedures to establish that the non-U.S. holder is not a United States person, information returns may also be filed with the IRS in connection with the proceeds from a sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock to or through the U.S. office (and, in certain cases, the foreign office) of a broker.

Payments of dividends (including constructive dividends) or of proceeds on the disposition of our common stock made to non-U.S. holders may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding at a current rate of 24% unless such non-U.S. holders establish an exemption, for example, by properly certifying their non-U.S. status on
