 made in yen. If the yen is
unavailable to us due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond our control, then all payments in respect of the notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the yen is again available to us or so used. The amount payable on
any date in yen will be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate mandated by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board as of the close of business on the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the U.S. Federal Reserve Board has
not mandated a rate of conversion, on the basis of the then most recent U.S. dollar/yen exchange rate published in the Wall Street Journal on or prior to the second business day prior to the relevant payment date or, in the event the Wall Street
Journal has not published such exchange rate, the rate will be determined in our sole discretion on the basis of the most recently available market exchange rate for the yen. Any payment in respect of the notes so made in U.S. dollars will not
constitute an event of default under the notes or the indenture governing the notes.

On October 31, 2025, the yen/U.S. dollar exchange
rate was ¥154.0500 = U.S. $1.00, as announced by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board.

Investors will be subject to foreign exchange risks
as to payments of principal and interest that may have important economic and tax consequences to them. See “Risk Factors.”
