 A U.S. Holder
generally may elect to treat capital gain dividends, capital gains from the disposition of our capital stock and income designated as
qualified dividend income, as described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Federal Income Tax Considerations
for Holders of Our Capital Stock and Debt Securities—Taxation of Taxable U.S. Holders of Our Capital Stock—Tax Rates”
below, as investment income for purposes of computing the investment interest limitation, but in such case, the holder will be taxed
at ordinary income rates on such amount. Other distributions we make, to the extent they do not constitute a return of capital, generally
will be treated as investment income for purposes of computing the investment interest limitation.

Dispositions of Our Capital Stock

purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received on the sale
or other disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares. This gain or loss, except as provided below,
will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held such capital stock for more than one year. However, if a U.S. Holder
recognizes a loss upon the sale or other disposition of our capital stock that it has held for six months or less, after applying certain
holding period rules, the loss recognized will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent the U.S. Holder received distributions
from us which were required to be treated as long-term capital gains. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Redemption or Repurchase by Us

A redemption or repurchase
of shares of our capital stock will be treated under Section 302 of the Code as a distribution (and taxable as a dividend to the
extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as described above under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Federal
Income Tax Considerations for Holders of Our Capital Stock and Debt Securities—Taxation of Taxable U.S. Holders of Our Capital
