United States Tax Considerations:

 

The text under “United States Tax Considerations—U.S. Holders” in the Prospectus Supplement, dated September 28, 2012, summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a holder of a note that is a “U.S. holder” (as defined therein).  The paragraph under the caption “United States Tax Considerations—U.S. Holders—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

 

The paying agent or other reporting agent will be required to file information returns with the IRS with respect to payments made to certain U.S. holders.  In addition, certain U.S. holders may be subject to a backup withholding tax (currently at a rate of 28%) in respect of these payments if they do not provide their taxpayer identification numbers to the paying agent or other reporting agent.

 

The text under “United States Tax Considerations—Non-U.S. Holders” in the Prospectus Supplement, dated September 28, 2012, summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a holder of a note that is a “non-U.S. holder” (as defined therein).  The paragraph under the

 



 

caption “United States Tax Considerations—Non-U.S. Holders” is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

 

If a holder is a non-resident alien individual or a foreign corporation that is the beneficial owner of the notes (a “non-U.S. holder”):

 

(a) payments of interest (including any original issue discount) on a note made to such non-U.S. holder will not be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax, provided that, with respect to payments of interest on a note, (i) the non-U.S. holder does not actually or constructively own 10 percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to us through stock ownership; (ii) the beneficial owner provides a statement signed under penalties of perjury (typically, on IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E) that includes its name and address and certifies that it is a non-U.S. holder in compliance with applicable requirements (or satisfies certain documentary evidence requirements for establishing that it is a non-U.S. holder); (iii) the non-U.S. holder has provided any direct or indirect information with respect to its direct and indirect U.S. owners; and (iv) if the non-U.S. holder or any intermediary through which it holds notes is a “foreign financial institution” (as defined below), each such entity has entered into an agreement with the U.S. government, pursuant to which it agrees, among other responsibilities, to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities information about its direct and indirect U.S. accountholders and investors, or otherwise establishes an exemption; and

 

(b) such non-U.S. holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain realized on the sale, exchange or redemption of the note, provided that, (i) the gain of such holder is not effectively connected with the holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if certain treaties apply, is not attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder within the United States); (ii) if the non-U.S. holder is an individual holder, such holder is not present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale, exchange or redemption (and does not satisfy certain other conditions); and (iii) in the case of a sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of a note effected on or after January 1, 2017, (x) the non-U.S. holder has provided any direct or indirect information with respect to its direct and indirect U.S. owners; and (y) if the non-U.S. holder or any intermediary through which it holds notes is a “foreign financial institution” (as defined below), each such entity has entered into an agreement with the U.S. government, pursuant to which it agrees, among other responsibilities, to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities information about its direct and indirect U.S. accountholders and investors, or otherwise establishes an exemption.

 

 

If U.S. tax is imposed as a result of a failure to comply with the documentation requirements described in clauses (a)(iii) and (iv) or (b)(iii) above, the beneficial owner may be entitled to a refund if the required information is provided to the IRS.

 

For purposes of the discussion in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, a “foreign financial institution” generally is a non-U.S. entity that (i) accepts deposits in the ordinary course of a banking or similar business; (ii) as a substantial portion of its business, holds financial assets for the account of others; or (iii) is engaged (or holds itself out as being engaged) primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, partnership interests or commodities, or interests in securities, partnership interests or commodities.

 



 

U.S. information reporting requirements and backup withholding tax will not apply to payments on a note made to a non-U.S. holder if the statement described in paragraph (a)(ii) above is duly provided.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax.  Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability.  A holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS and furnishing the required information.

 

Legal Matters

 

The text under “Legal Matters” in both the Prospectus, dated September 28, 2012, and the Prospectus Supplement, dated September 28, 2012, is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
