Interests in the Bonds will be in uncertified book-entry form. Purchasers electing to hold <br />book-entry interests in the Bonds through Euroclear and Clearstream accounts will follow the settlement procedures <br />applicable to conventional Eurobonds. Book-entry interests in the Bonds will be credited to Euroclear and Clearstream <br />participants’ securities clearance accounts on the business day following the date of delivery of the Bonds against <br />payment (value as on the date of delivery of the Bonds). DTC participants acting on behalf of purchasers electing to <br />hold book-entry interests in the Bonds through DTC will follow the delivery practices applicable to securities eligible <br />for DTC's Same Day Funds Settlement system. DTC participants’ securities accounts will be credited with book- <br />entry interests in the Bonds following confirmation of receipt of payment to the Issuer on the date of delivery of the <br />Bonds. <br />Secondary Market Trading. Secondary market trades in the Bonds will be settled by transfer of title to book- <br />entry interests in Euroclear, Clearstream or DTC, as the case may be. Title to such book-entry interests will pass by <br />registration of the transfer within the records of Euroclear, Clearstream or DTC, as the case may be, in accordance <br />with their respective procedures. Book-entry interests in the Bonds may be transferred within Euroclear and within <br />Clearstream and between Euroclear and Clearstream in accordance with procedures established for these purposes by <br />Euroclear and Clearstream. Book-entry interests in the Bonds may be transferred within DTC in accordance with <br />procedures established for this purpose by DTC. Transfer of book-entry interests in the Bonds between Euroclear or <br />Clearstream and DTC may be effected in accordance with procedures established for this purpose by Euroclear, <br />Clearstream and DTC. <br />Special Timing Considerations. Investors should be aware that investors will only be able to make and receive <br />deliveries, payments and other communications involving the Bonds through Euroclear or Clearstream on days when <br />those systems are open for business. In addition, because of time-zone differences, there may be complications with <br />completing transactions involving Clearstream and/or Euroclear on the same business day as in the United States. <br />U.S. investors who wish to transfer their interests in the Bonds, or to receive or make a payment or delivery of the <br />Bonds, on a particular day, may find that the transactions will not be performed until the next business day in <br />Luxembourg if Clearstream is used, or Brussels if Euroclear is used. <br />Clearing Information. It is expected that the Bonds will be accepted for clearance through the facilities of <br />Euroclear and Clearstream. The CUSIP numbers for the Bonds are set forth on the inside cover of the Official <br />Statement. <br />General. Neither Euroclear nor Clearstream is under any obligation to perform or continue to perform the <br />procedures referred to above, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. <br />NEITHER THE ISSUER NOR THE UNDERWRITERS WILL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE <br />PERFORMANCE BY EUROCLEAR OR CLEARSTREAM OR THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECT OR INDIRECT <br />PARTICIPANTS OR ACCOUNT HOLDERS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE RULES <br />AND PROCEDURES GOVERNING THEIR OPERATIONS OR THE ARRANGEMENTS REFERRED TO <br />ABOVE.
