The Offering
 
Issuer	Genworth Financial, Inc.	
 
Securities Offered	$400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.625% senior notes due 2021.	
 
Maturity Date	September 24, 2021.	
 
Interest	Interest on the notes will accrue from their date of issuance at a rate of 7.625% per year and will be payable semi-annually on March 24 and September 24 of each year, beginning on September 24, 2011.	
 
Ranking	The notes will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The notes will not be obligations of, or guaranteed by, any of our subsidiaries. As a result, the notes will be structurally subordinated to all debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries (including liabilities to policyholders and contractholders), which means that creditors of our subsidiaries will be paid from their assets before holders of the notes would have any claims to those assets. As of December 31, 2010, our subsidiaries had outstanding $91,625 million of total liabilities, including $3,865 million of debt (excluding, in each case, intercompany liabilities). The indenture under which the notes will be issued, which we refer to as the indenture, does not limit our ability, or the ability of our subsidiaries, to issue or incur other debt or issue preferred stock. As a holding company, we depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to transfer funds to us to meet our obligations, including our obligations to pay interest on the notes. See “Risk Factors—Risk Relating to Our Businesses—As a holding company, we depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to transfer funds to us to pay dividends and to meet our obligations” in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 25, 2011, which is incorporated by reference herein, and “Description of the Notes” in this prospectus supplement.	
 
Optional Redemption	We may redeem all or a portion of the notes at any time, at our option, at the “make-whole” redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect of the notes being redeemed (not including any portion of the payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date, on a semi-annual basis, at the treasury rate plus 50 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. See “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption” in this prospectus supplement.	
 
Sinking Fund	None.	
 
Denominations	The notes will be issued in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.	

S-3

Table of Contents

Form of Notes	The notes will be issued as fully registered notes, represented by one or more global notes deposited with or on behalf of The Depository Trust Company, or DTC. Investors may elect to hold interests in the global notes through any of DTC, Clearstream or the Euroclear System.	
 
Further Issuances	We may from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the notes, reopen the series of debt securities of which the notes are a part and issue additional notes having the same ranking and the same terms as the notes, except for the public offering price and the issue date and, if applicable, the initial interest accrual date and the initial interest payment date. Any additional notes having similar terms, together with the notes, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the indenture and will be fungible with the previously issued notes to the extent specified in the applicable pricing supplement.	
 
Use of Proceeds	The net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $397 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes. See “Use of Proceeds” in this prospectus supplement.	
 
Risk Factors	Your investment in the notes will involve risks. You should consider carefully all of the information set forth in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any free writing prospectus with respect to this offering filed by us with the SEC and the documents incorporated by reference herein and, in particular, you should evaluate the specific factors set forth in the section of this prospectus supplement entitled “Supplemental Risk Factors” and the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 25, 2011, which is incorporated by reference herein, before deciding whether to purchase any notes in this offering.	
 
Listing	The notes will not be listed on any exchange or quoted on any automated dealer quotation system.	
 
Governing Law	The notes will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.	
 
Trustee	The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.

 SUPPLEMENTAL RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the supplemental risks described below in addition to the risks described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 25, 2011, which is incorporated by reference herein, as well as the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before investing in the notes. You could lose part or all of your investment.
There are no financial covenants in the indenture.
Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries are restricted from incurring additional debt or other liabilities, including additional senior debt, under the indenture. If we incur additional debt or liabilities, our ability to pay our obligations on the notes could be adversely affected. We expect that we will from time to time incur additional debt and other liabilities. In addition, we are not restricted from paying dividends or issuing or repurchasing our securities under the indenture.
There are no financial covenants in the indenture. You are not protected under the indenture in the event of a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, change of control, restructuring, merger or similar transaction that may adversely affect you, except to the extent described under “Description of the Notes—Consolidation, Merger and Conveyance of Assets as an Entirety; No Financial Covenants.”
The notes will not be guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries and will be structurally subordinated to the debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries, which means that creditors of our subsidiaries will be paid from their assets before holders of the notes would have any claims to those assets.
We are a holding company and conduct substantially all of our operations through subsidiaries. However, the notes will be obligations exclusively of Genworth Financial, Inc. and will not be guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. As a result, the notes will be structurally subordinated to all debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries (including liabilities to policyholders and contractholders), which means that creditors of our subsidiaries will be paid from their assets before holders of the notes would have any claims to those assets. As of December 31, 2010, our subsidiaries had outstanding $91,625 million of total liabilities, including $3,865 million of debt (excluding, in each case, intercompany liabilities).
An active trading market for the notes may not develop.
The notes constitute a new issue of securities, for which there is no existing market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on any securities exchange or for quotation of the notes in any automated dealer quotation system. We cannot provide you with any assurance regarding whether a trading market for the notes will develop, the ability of holders of the notes to sell their notes or the price at which holders may be able to sell their notes. The underwriters have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in the notes. However, the underwriters are not obligated to do so, and any market-making with respect to the notes may be discontinued at any time without notice. If no active trading market develops, you may be unable to resell your notes at any price or at their fair market value.
The price of the notes will fluctuate.
Debt markets in general, and the price of our debt securities in particular, have experienced significant price and volume volatility since late 2008. The market price and volume of our debt securities may continue to be subject to significant fluctuations due not only to general debt and equity market conditions but also to changes in sentiment in the market regarding our industry generally, as well as our operations, business prospects, liquidity and capital positions. The price and volume volatility of our debt securities may be affected by, among other things:
 
 	•	 	our financial performance and condition and future prospects;	
 
 	•	 	operating results for current and future periods that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors;	
 
S-5

Table of Contents

 	•	 	operating and securities price performance of companies that investors consider to be comparable to us;	
 
 	•	 	announcements of strategic developments, acquisitions and other material events by us or our competitors;	
 
 	•	 	changes in global financial markets and global economies and general market conditions, such as interest or foreign exchange rates, availability of credit, equity prices and the value of financial assets;	
 
 	•	 	prevailing interest rates being paid by other companies similar to us;	
 
 	•	 	rating agency announcements or actions with respect to the ratings of our company and our subsidiaries;	
 
 	•	 	changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;	
 
 	•	 	market prices for our debt and equity securities; and	
 
 	•	 	other matters discussed elsewhere in “Supplemental Risk Factors” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 25, 2011, which is incorporated by reference herein.	
Volatility in the debt and equity markets and a decrease in the market price of our debt securities also could make it difficult for us to raise capital.
A downgrade or a potential downgrade in our financial strength or credit ratings could result in a loss of business and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and adversely affect our cost of borrowing and the market price of the notes.
Rating agencies continually review their ratings for the companies that they follow, including our company and our subsidiaries.
Financial strength ratings, which various rating agencies publish as measures of an insurance company’s ability to meet contractholder and policyholder obligations, are important to maintaining public confidence in our products, the ability to market our products and our competitive position. Credit ratings, which rating agencies publish as measures of an entity’s ability to repay its indebtedness, are important to our ability to raise capital through the issuance of debt and to the cost of such financing. Credit ratings also affect the market prices of our debt securities, including the notes.
A ratings downgrade could occur for a variety of reasons, including reasons specifically related to our company or our subsidiaries, generally related to our industry or the broader financial services industry or as a result of changes by the rating agencies in their methodologies or rating criteria.
Following the release of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, Fitch Ratings affirmed the Company’s principal U.S. life insurance subsidiaries’ financial strength ratings. Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”) affirmed the credit rating of the Company and the credit and financial strength ratings of one of our European mortgage insurance subsidiaries, but revised the outlook on the companies to negative. S&P also downgraded the credit and financial strength ratings of the Company’s principal U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries and took no action with respect to the Company’s U.S. life insurance subsidiaries. Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) announced that it had placed the Company’s debt ratings (and those of certain financing entities) and the financial strength ratings of our principal life insurance subsidiaries, our principal U.S. mortgage insurance subsidiaries (and its supported affiliates) and our principal Australian mortgage insurance subsidiary on review for possible downgrade in the short-term. We cannot be certain when Moody’s will complete its review (and what impact, if any, the completion of this offering may have on its review) or what action, if any, it may take. The uncertainty regarding the ratings of our company or our subsidiaries, or any announcements that the ratings of our company or our subsidiaries have been downgraded or are under review for possible downgrade, could result in a loss of business and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and adversely affect our cost of borrowing and the market price of the notes.

On June 15, 2004, we issued $1.9 billion aggregate principal amount of notes under the indenture, consisting of $500 million aggregate principal amount of LIBOR floating rate notes due 2007, $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% notes due 2009, $600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.750% notes due 2014 and $300 million aggregate principal amount of 6.500% notes due 2034. On September 19, 2005, we issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 4.950% notes due 2015. On June 12, 2007, we issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 5.650% notes due 2012. On May 22, 2008, we issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 6.515% notes due 2018. On December 8, 2009, we issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% notes due 2016. On June 24, 2010, we issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.700% notes due 2020. On November 22, 2010, we issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.20% notes due 2021. We are now issuing $400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% notes due 2021.
When we use the term “business day,” we mean any calendar day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in New York, New York and on which commercial banks are open for business in New York, New York.
The notes offered hereby will mature at par on September 24, 2021. Interest on the notes will accrue from March 25, 2011 and is payable semiannually in arrears on March 24 and September 24 of each year, beginning on September 24, 2011, to the persons in whose names the notes are registered at the close of business on the March 9 or September 9 (whether or not a business day), respectively, prior to each interest payment date at the annual rate of 7.625%; provided that the interest due on redemption or at maturity (whether or not an interest payment date) will be paid to the person to whom principal is payable.
For any full semi-annual period in respect of the notes, the amount of interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. For any period shorter than a full semi-annual period the amount of interest will be calculated on the basis of a 30-day month, and, for any period less than a month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month.
If an interest payment date for the notes falls on a date that is not a business day (as defined above), then interest will be paid on the next day that is a business day, and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after such interest payment date. If a redemption date or the maturity date for any note falls on a date that is not a business day, the related payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest may be made on

the next succeeding business day, and no additional interest will accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after the redemption date or maturity date.
The notes will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking funds.
The notes will be issued as fully registered notes (to be deposited with the depositary or its custodian) and in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.
In addition to the notes, we may issue from time to time other series of debt securities under the indenture consisting of debentures, notes or other unsecured, unsubordinated evidences of indebtedness, but such other series will be separate from and independent of the notes. The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities or any other debt (whether secured or unsecured or whether subordinated or unsubordinated) which we may incur.
We may from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the notes, reopen the series of debt securities of which the notes are a part and issue additional notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the notes, except for the public offering price and the issue date and, if applicable, the initial interest accrual date and the initial interest payment date. Any additional notes having similar terms, together with the notes, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the indenture and will be fungible with the previously issued notes to the extent specified in the applicable pricing supplement. No additional such notes may be issued if an event of default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the series of debt securities of which such notes are a part.
The Company will designate and maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York where we will pay the principal and premium, if any, on the notes and you may present the notes for registration of transfer and exchange. The Company has designated the office of the trustee located at 4 New York Plaza, New York, New York 10004 for this purpose.
Ranking
The notes will be our direct, senior unsecured obligations and will rank without preference or priority among themselves and equally with all of our existing and future senior unsecured debt.
We are a holding company and conduct substantially all of our operations through subsidiaries. However, the notes will be obligations exclusively of Genworth Financial, Inc. and will not be guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. As a result, the notes will be structurally subordinated to all debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries (including liabilities to policyholders and contractholders), which means that creditors of our subsidiaries will be paid from their assets before holders of the notes would have any claims to those assets. As of December 31, 2010, our subsidiaries had outstanding $91,625 million of total liabilities, including $3,865 million of debt (excluding, in each case, intercompany liabilities).
As a holding company, dividends from our subsidiaries and permitted payments to us under our tax sharing arrangements with our subsidiaries will be our principal sources of cash to pay principal and interest on the notes and meet our other obligations. The payment of dividends and other distributions to us by our insurance subsidiaries is regulated by insurance laws and regulations. In general, dividends in excess of prescribed limits are deemed “extraordinary” and require insurance regulatory approval. The ability of our insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends to us is also subject to various conditions imposed by the rating agencies for the subsidiaries to maintain their ratings. Our subsidiaries have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the notes.
As of December 31, 2010, we had outstanding $4,524 million of unsecured and unsubordinated debt at the parent company level. The indenture does not limit our ability to incur senior, subordinated or secured debt, or our ability, or that of any of our existing or future subsidiaries, to incur other indebtedness and other liabilities or issue preferred stock.

Optional Redemption
We may redeem all or a portion of the notes at our option at any time or from time to time as set forth below. We will mail notice of such redemption to the registered holders of the notes to be redeemed at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date. We may redeem such notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
 
 	•	 	100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date; and	
 
 	•	 	the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.	
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the notes.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations or, if only one such Quotation is obtained, such Quotation.
“Independent Investment Banker” means an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by us, which may be one of the Reference Treasury Dealers.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (1) Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. and their respective successors, provided that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), we will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by us.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by the Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month), (2) if the period from the redemption date to the maturity date of the notes to be redeemed is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be used, or (3) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such

yields, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated by us on the third business day preceding the redemption date. The trustee shall not be responsible for any such calculation.
Events of Default
Any of the following events will constitute an event of default under the indenture with respect to the notes:
 
 	•	 	failure to pay interest on the notes for thirty days past the applicable due date;	
 
 	•	 	failure to pay the principal amount of, or premium, if any, on the notes when due (whether at maturity or otherwise);	
 
 	•	 	failure to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement in the indenture, which continues for 60 days after written notice from the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes as provided in the indenture;	
 
 	•	 	acceleration of more than $100 million of our indebtedness for borrowed money by the terms thereof if the acceleration is not rescinded or annulled within 10 days after written notice from the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes as provided in the indenture, provided that this event of default will be remedied, cured or waived without further action upon the part of either the trustee or any of the holders if the default under our other indebtedness is remedied, cured or waived; and	
 
 	•	 	specified events relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of us or any of our significant subsidiaries.	
The term “significant subsidiary” has the same meaning as the definition of that term set forth in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the SEC.
Remedies
If an event of default arising from specified events of the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of us or any of our significant subsidiaries occurs, the principal amount of all outstanding notes will become due and payable immediately, without further action or notice on the part of the holders of the notes or the trustee. If any other event of default with respect to the notes occurs, the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of outstanding notes may declare the principal amount of the notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to us, and to the trustee if given by holders. Upon that declaration the principal amount of the notes will become immediately due and payable. However, at any time after a declaration has been made or the notes have otherwise become due and payable, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained, the holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding notes may, subject to conditions specified in the indenture, rescind and annul that declaration or acceleration and its consequences.
Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, if an event of default then exists, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at your request, order or direction, unless you have offered to the trustee reasonable security or indemnity. Subject to the provisions for the security or indemnification of the trustee and otherwise in accordance with the conditions specified in the indenture, the holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding notes have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for and remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee in connection with the notes.
 
S-13

Table of Contents
Notice of Default
The trustee will, within 90 days after the occurrence of an event of default with respect to the notes, mail to the holders of the notes notice of such event of default, unless such event of default has been cured or waived. However, the Trust Indenture Act and the indenture currently permit the trustee to withhold notices of events of default (except for certain payment defaults) if the trustee in good faith determines the withholding of such notices to be in the interests of the holders.
We will furnish the trustee with an annual statement as to our compliance with  the conditions and covenants in the indenture.
Legal Proceedings and Enforcement of Right of Payment
You will not have any right to institute any proceeding in connection with the indenture or for any remedy under the indenture, unless you have previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default with respect to the notes. In addition, the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes must have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the trustee to institute that proceeding as trustee, and, within 60 days following the receipt of that notice, the trustee must not have received from the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes a direction inconsistent with that request, and must have failed to institute the proceeding. However, you will have an absolute right to receive payment of the principal of and interest on that note at the place, time, rate and in the currency expressed in the indenture and the note and to institute a suit for the enforcement of that payment.
Consolidation, Merger and Conveyance of Assets as an Entirety; No Financial Covenants
We will covenant in the indenture that we will not merge or consolidate with any other person or sell, convey, transfer, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets unless:
 
 	•	 	either we are the continuing corporation or the successor person is a corporation or limited liability company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia and this other person expressly assumes all of our obligations under the indenture and the notes; and	
 
 	•	 	we are not, or such successor corporation or limited liability company is not, immediately after such merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition, in default in the performance of any obligations thereunder.	
In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance (other than by way of lease), transfer or other disposition, and upon any such assumption by the successor corporation or limited liability company, such successor corporation or limited liability company shall succeed to and be substituted for us, with the same effect as if it had been named in the indenture as us and we shall be relieved of any further obligations under the indenture and under the notes.
The indenture does not contain any financial or other similar restrictive covenants.
Modification of Indenture
We may enter into supplemental indentures for the purpose of modifying or amending the indenture with respect to the notes with the consent of holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes. However, the consent of each holder affected is required for any amendment:
 
 	•	 	to change the stated maturity of principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any note,	
 
 	•	 	to reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest, if any, on any note or to alter the manner of calculation of interest payable on any note (except as part of any interest rate reset),	
 
 	•	 	to reduce the principal amount or premium, if any, on any note,	
 
S-14

Table of Contents

 	•	 	to make the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any note payable in a different currency,	
 
 	•	 	to reduce the percentage in principal amount of the notes, the holders of which are required to consent to any supplemental indenture or to any waiver of any past default or event of default,	
 
 	•	 	to change any place of payment where the notes or interest thereon is payable,	
 
 	•	 	to impair the right of any holder of the notes to bring a lawsuit for the enforcement of any payment or extend the time or reduce the amount of any payment to any sinking fund, or	
 
 	•	 	to modify provisions of the indenture relating to waiver of defaults or amendment of the indenture, except to increase the percentage in principal amount of notes whose holders must consent to an amendment or to provide that certain other provisions of the indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each outstanding note affected by the modification or waiver.	
In addition, we and the trustee with respect to the indenture may enter into supplemental indentures without the consent of the holders of the notes for one or more of the following purposes:
 
 	•	 	to evidence that another corporation or limited liability company has become our successor under the provisions of the indenture relating to consolidations, mergers, and sales of assets and that the successor assumes our covenants, agreements, and obligations in the indenture and in the notes,	
 
 	•	 	to add to our covenants further covenants, restrictions, conditions, or provisions for the protection of the holders of the notes, and to make a default in any of these additional covenants, restrictions, conditions, or provisions a default or an event of default under the indenture,	
 
 	•	 	to provide for the issuance of securities in coupon form and to provide for the exchangeability of such securities with securities of the same series,	
 
 	•	 	to establish the form or terms of securities or coupons,	
 
 	•	 	to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under the indenture that do not adversely affect the interests of any holders of notes, provided that any amendment made solely to conform the provisions of the indenture to the description of the notes contained in this prospectus or other offering document pursuant to which the notes were sold will not be deemed to adversely affect the interests of the holders of the notes,	
 
 	•	 	to modify or amend the indenture to permit the qualification of the indenture or any supplemental indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as then in effect,	
 
 	•	 	to add guarantees with respect to the notes, and	
 
 	•	 	to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor or separate trustee with respect to the notes.	
Defeasance of Indenture
We have the right to terminate all of our obligations under such covenants for the notes as may be established in the future in accordance with the terms of the indenture and to provide that the events described in the third bullet (as it relates to any covenants referred to in the preceding part of this sentence) and the fourth bullet, in each case under “—Events of Default” above, shall no longer constitute events of default under the indenture at any time after the 91 st day following the irrevocable depositing in trust with the trustee of money or U.S. government obligations (or a combination thereof) in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the notes to their maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and complying with certain other conditions, including delivery to the trustee of an opinion of counsel, to the effect that you will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of our exercise of such right and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case otherwise.
 
S-15

Table of Contents
In addition, we have the right at any time to terminate all of our obligations under the indenture with respect to the notes (other than, among other things (1) your right to receive, solely from the trust fund described below, payments of principal of, and interest on, the notes when due, (2) the Company’s obligation to exchange and register transfers of the notes, authenticate and deliver new notes in the case of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes, cancel surrendered notes, designate and maintain an office where the notes may be presented for payment, transfer and exchange and where notices to the Company may be served, pay or reimburse the trustee certain compensation or other amounts and indemnify the trustee for certain matters and (3) certain provisions relating to the resignation or removal of the trustee, the return of unclaimed moneys deposited with or paid to the trustee for payments with respect to the notes, and the reinstatement of our obligations under the indenture and the notes under certain circumstances, each as provided in the indenture) on the 91 st day following the irrevocable depositing in trust with the trustee of money or U.S. government obligations (or a combination thereof) in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the notes to their maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and complying with certain other conditions, including delivery to the trustee of either an opinion of counsel or a ruling received from the Internal Revenue Service, to the effect that you will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of our exercise of such right and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case otherwise, which opinion of counsel is based upon a change in the applicable federal tax law after the date of the indenture.
Miscellaneous Provisions
The indenture provides that the notes, including those for which payment has been deposited or set aside in trust as described under “—Satisfaction and Discharge” below, will not be deemed to be “outstanding” in determining whether the holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding notes have given or taken any demand, direction, consent or other action under the indenture as of any date, or are present at a meeting of holders for quorum purposes.
We will be entitled to set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of outstanding notes issued under the indenture entitled to give or take any demand, direction, consent or other action under the indenture, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the indenture. In certain circumstances, the trustee also will be entitled to set a record date for action by holders. If such a record date is set for any action to be taken by holders of notes issued under the indenture, such action may be taken only by persons who are holders of such notes on the record date.
Satisfaction and Discharge
The indenture will generally cease to be of any further effect with respect to the notes, if:
 
 	•	 	we have delivered to the trustee for cancellation all outstanding notes (with certain limited exceptions), or	
 
 	•	 	all notes not previously delivered to the trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, and we have deposited with the trustee as trust funds the entire amount sufficient to pay all of the outstanding notes,	
 
 	•	 	and if, in either case, we also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable under the indenture by us.	
The indenture will be deemed satisfied and discharged when no notes remain outstanding and when we have paid all other sums payable by us under the indenture.
 
S-16

Table of Contents
Any monies deposited with or paid to the trustee for payment of principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, the notes and not applied but remaining unclaimed by the holders of the notes for two years after the date upon which the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, the notes, as the case may be, shall have become due and payable, shall be repaid to us by the trustee on written demand. Thereafter, the holder of the notes may look only to us for payment thereof.
Resignation and Removal of the Trustee
The trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to us. The trustee may also be removed by act of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding notes. No resignation or removal of the trustee and no appointment of a successor trustee will become effective until the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee in accordance with the requirements of the indenture.
Governing Law
The indenture is, and any notes will be, governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
Book-Entry System
The Depository Trust Company, or “DTC,” which we refer to along with its successors in this capacity as the depositary, will act as securities depositary for the notes. The notes will be issued as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co., the depositary’s nominee. One or more fully registered global security certificates, representing the total aggregate principal amount of the notes, will be issued and will be deposited with the depositary or its custodian and will bear a legend regarding the restrictions on exchanges and registration of transfer referred to below.
The laws of some jurisdictions may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. These laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in the notes so long as the notes are represented by global security certificates.
Investors may elect to hold interests in the global notes through either DTC in the U.S. or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”) or Euroclear Bank S. A. /N. V., as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), in Europe if they are participants of such systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in Clearstream’s and Euroclear’s names on the books of their respective depositaries, which in turn will hold such interests in customers’ securities accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of DTC.
DTC advises that it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with it and facilitates the settlement among participants of securities transactions, including transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. The depositary is owned by a number of its direct participants and by NYSE Euronext and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Access to DTC’s system is also available to others, including securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that clear transactions through or maintain a direct or indirect custodial relationship with a direct participant either directly, or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC.

Clearstream advises that it is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg as a professional depositary. Clearstream holds securities for its participating organizations (“Clearstream Participants”) and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of Clearstream Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Clearstream provides to Clearstream Participants, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. As a professional depositary in Luxembourg, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Commission for the Supervision of the Financial Sector (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier). Clearstream Participants are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream Participant, either directly or indirectly.
Distributions with respect to interests in the notes held beneficially through Clearstream will be credited to cash accounts of Clearstream Participants in accordance with its rules and procedures.
Euroclear advises that it was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of Euroclear (“Euroclear Participants”) and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear Participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear performs various other services, including securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank S. A. /N. V. (the “Euroclear Operator”). All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator. Euroclear Participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear Participant, either directly or indirectly.
The Euroclear Operator is a Belgian bank. As such, it is regulated by the Belgian Banking and Finance Commission.
Securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with the Euroclear Operator are governed by the Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related Operating Procedures of Euroclear, and applicable Belgian law (collectively, the “Terms and Conditions”). The Terms and Conditions govern transfers of securities and cash within Euroclear, withdrawals of securities and cash from Euroclear, and receipts of payments with respect to securities in Euroclear. All securities in Euroclear are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts. The Euroclear Operator acts under the Terms and Conditions only on behalf of Euroclear Participants, and has no records of or relationship with persons holding through Euroclear Participants.
Distributions with respect to the notes held beneficially through Euroclear will be credited to the cash accounts of Euroclear Participants in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, to the extent received by the U.S. depositary for Euroclear.
We will issue the notes in definitive certificated form if the depositary notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or the depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor depositary is not appointed by us within 90 days. In addition, beneficial interests in a global security certificate may be exchanged for definitive certificated notes upon request by or on behalf of the depositary in accordance with customary procedures following the request of a beneficial owner seeking to exercise or enforce its rights under such notes. If we determine at any time that the
 
S-18

Table of Contents
notes shall no longer be represented by global security certificates, we will inform the depositary of such determination who will, in turn, notify participants of their right to withdraw their beneficial interest from the global security certificates, and if such participants elect to withdraw their beneficial interests, we will issue certificates in definitive form in exchange for such beneficial interests in the global security certificates. Any global note, or portion thereof, that is exchangeable pursuant to this paragraph will be exchangeable for security certificates, as the case may be, registered in the names directed by the depositary. We expect that these instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from its participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the global security certificates.
As long as the depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of the global security certificates, the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner and holder of the global security certificates and all notes represented by these certificates for all purposes under the indenture. Except in the limited circumstances referred to above, owners of beneficial interests in global security certificates:
 
 	•	 	will not be entitled to have the notes represented by these global security certificates registered in their names, and	
 
 	•	 	will not be considered to be owners or holders of the global security certificates or any notes represented by these certificates for any purpose under the notes or the indenture.	
All payments on the notes represented by global security certificates and all transfers and deliveries of related notes will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the holder of such securities.
Ownership of beneficial interests in the global security certificates will be limited to participants or persons that may hold beneficial interests through institutions that have accounts with the depositary or its nominee. Ownership of beneficial interests in global security certificates will be shown only on, and the transfer of those ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary or its nominee, with respect to participants’ interests, or any participant, with respect to interests of persons held by the participant on their behalf. Payments, transfers, deliveries, exchanges and other matters relating to beneficial interests in global security certificates may be subject to various policies and procedures adopted by the depositary from time to time. Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the depositary’s or any participant’s records relating to, or for payments made on account of, beneficial interests in global security certificates, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of the depositary’s records or any participant’s records relating to these beneficial ownership interests.
Although the depositary has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the global security certificates among participants, the depositary is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform these procedures, and these procedures may be discontinued at any time. We will not have any responsibility for the performance by the depositary or its direct participants or indirect participants under the rules and procedures governing the depositary.
The information in this section concerning the depositary, its book-entry system, Clearstream and Euroclear has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we have not attempted to verify the accuracy of this information.

Global Clearance and Settlement Procedures
Initial settlement for the notes will be made in immediately available funds. Secondary market trading between DTC Participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in immediately available funds using DTC’s Same-Day Funds Settlement System. Secondary market trading between Clearstream Participants and/or Euroclear Participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear, as applicable.
Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Clearstream Participants or Euroclear Participants, on the other, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC rules; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines (European time).
Because of time-zone differences, credits of the notes received in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a DTC Participant will be made during subsequent securities settlement processing and dated the business day following the DTC settlement date. Such credits or any transactions in such notes settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Euroclear Participant or Clearstream Participant on such business day. Cash received in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of sales of the notes by or through a Clearstream Participant or a Euroclear Participant to a DTC Participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Clearstream or Euroclear cash account only as of the business day following settlement in DTC.
Although DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of notes among participants of DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and such procedures may be discontinued or changed at any time.

 UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
This section summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the purchase, ownership and disposition of notes. This summary deals only with notes that are held as capital assets by Non-U.S. Holders that purchase the notes in this offering at the price indicated on the front cover of this prospectus supplement. A “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of notes and is generally an individual, corporation, estate or trust other than:
 
 	•	 	an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;	
 
 	•	 	a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or any subdivision thereof;	
 
 	•	 	an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; and	
 
 	•	 	a trust if a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or such trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.	
If a partnership holds notes, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Special rules may apply if a Non-U.S. Holder is a “controlled foreign corporation” or “passive foreign investment company,” as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to certain expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States. If you fall within any of the foregoing categories, you should consult your own tax advisor to determine the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences that may be relevant to you.
This summary does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of notes by a prospective Non-U.S. Holder in light of that investor’s particular circumstances. In addition, this summary does not address other U.S. federal taxes (such as gift or estate taxes or alternative minimum taxes) or state, local and foreign tax consequences that may be relevant to you.
This section is based upon the Code, judicial decisions, final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrative pronouncements, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this prospectus supplement may affect the tax consequences described herein, possibly with retroactive effect.
Please consult your own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences to you of purchasing, holding and disposing of notes in your particular circumstances under the Code and the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.
U.S. Federal Withholding Tax
Subject to the discussion below concerning backup withholding, U.S. federal withholding tax will not apply to any payment of principal or interest on the notes, provided that in the case of interest:
 
 	•	 	you do not actually (or constructively) own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our voting stock within the meaning of the Code and the Treasury regulations;	
 
 	•	 	you are not a controlled foreign corporation that is related, directly or indirectly, to us through stock ownership; and	
 
 	•	 	(a) you provide your name, address and certain other information on an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or a suitable substitute form), and certify, under penalties of perjury, that you are not a U.S. person or (b) you hold your notes through certain foreign intermediaries or certain foreign partnerships and certain certification requirements are satisfied.	
 
S-21

Table of Contents
Interest payments that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by you within the United States (and, where an applicable tax treaty so provides, are also attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment maintained by you) are not subject to the U.S. federal withholding tax (provided that you satisfy applicable certification requirements), but instead are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as described below.
If you cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of interest will be subject to a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax unless a tax treaty applies or the interest payments are effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business. If a tax treaty applies to you, you may be eligible for a reduction of or exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax. To claim any exemption from or reduction in the 30% withholding tax, you should provide a properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or a suitable substitute form) claiming a reduction of or an exemption from withholding tax under an applicable tax treaty or a properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or a suitable substitute form) stating that such payments are not subject to withholding tax because they are effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States.
U.S. Federal Income Tax
If you are engaged in a trade or business in the United States (and, if a tax treaty applies, if you maintain a permanent establishment within the United States) and interest on the notes, including interest received on redemption or retirement, is effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or business (and, if a tax treaty applies, attributable to such permanent establishment), you will be subject to U.S. federal income tax (but not U.S. withholding tax assuming a properly executed Form W-8ECI (or a suitable substitute form) is provided) on such interest on a net income basis in generally the same manner as if you were a U.S. person. In addition, in certain circumstances, if you are a foreign corporation you may be subject to a 30% (or, if a tax treaty applies, such lower rate as provided) branch profits tax.
Any gain or income, other than interest which is taxable as set forth above, realized on the disposition of a note (including a redemption or retirement) will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:
 
 	•	 	such gain or income is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, where an applicable tax treaty so provides, is also attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment maintained by you); or	
 
 	•	 	you are an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met.	
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Unless you are an exempt recipient, interest payments on the notes and the proceeds received from a disposition (including a redemption or retirement) of notes may be subject to information reporting and may also be subject to U.S. federal backup withholding at the applicable rate if you fail to comply with applicable U.S. information reporting or certification requirements. The certification procedures required to claim the exemption from withholding tax on interest described above will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid the backup withholding tax as well.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts so withheld under the backup withholding rules will be refunded or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided you timely furnish the required information to the Internal Revenue Service.
The preceding discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences is general information only and is not tax advice. Accordingly, you should consult your own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences to you of purchasing, holding or disposing of notes, including the applicability and effect of any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws, and of any changes or proposed changes in applicable law.

 BENEFIT PLAN INVESTOR CONSIDERATIONS
The following discussion was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding United States federal tax penalties. This discussion was written in connection with the promotion or marketing of the notes.
The following is a summary of certain considerations associated with the purchase of the notes by employee benefit plans that are subject to the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), by plans that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code or by persons whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of such plans (each, an “ERISA Plan”). Certain benefit plans may be subject to federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (collectively, “Similar Laws”) and, accordingly, may be subject to similar risks (together with ERISA Plans, “Plans”).
Prohibited Transaction Issues
Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans from engaging, directly and in certain cases, indirectly, in specified transactions involving plan assets with persons who are “parties in interest” (as defined in ERISA) or “disqualified persons” (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code), unless an exemption applies. A non-exempt prohibited transaction may have to be rescinded, and a fiduciary of an ERISA Plan that permits such a transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code.
The Company and any of its affiliates may each be a party in interest or disqualified person with respect to ERISA Plans from time to time, and the extension of credit is a transaction to which Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code may apply, unless a statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption applies.
In this regard, Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code exempt the involvement of the assets of an ERISA Plan in connection with the sale or exchange of property with, the lending of money or other extension of credit with, or the transfer of plan assets to, or the use of plan assets by or for the benefit of, a person who is a party in interest or disqualified person if: (i) such person is a party in interest or disqualified person solely by reason of providing services to the ERISA Plan or by reason of certain relationships to such a service provider and is not a fiduciary (including by reason of rendering investment advice) with respect to the investment of plan assets involved in the transaction and (ii) the ERISA Plan pays no more and receives no less than adequate consideration (as defined in such Sections).
In addition, the U.S. Department of Labor has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions, or PTCEs, that may apply to the acquisition of the notes. These class exemptions include, without limitation, PTCE 84-14 (relating to transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTCE 90-1 (relating to transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTCE 91-38 (relating to transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 95-60 (relating to transactions involving life insurance company general accounts) and PTCE 96-23 (relating to transactions determined by in-house asset managers). A purchaser of any notes should be aware that there can be no assurance that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied and that the scope of the exemptive relief provided by any such exemption might not cover all acts which might be construed as prohibited transactions.
Accordingly, the notes should not be purchased or held by any Plan unless such purchase and holding will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws.
 
S-23

Table of Contents
Representation
By acceptance of a note, each purchaser and subsequent transferee of a note will be deemed to have represented and warranted that either: (i) no portion of the assets used by such purchaser or transferee to acquire or hold the note constitutes assets of any Plan or (ii) the purchase and holding of the note by such purchaser or transferee will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws.
The preceding discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all-inclusive. Fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the notes on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan should consult with their counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, the Code and any Similar Laws to such investment, including the applicability of any exemption thereto. Each purchaser and holder of the notes has exclusive responsibility for ensuring that its purchase and holding of the notes does not violate the fiduciary and prohibited transaction rules of ERISA, the Code and any Similar Laws. The sale of any notes to any Plan is in no respect a representation by us or any of our affiliates or representatives that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by Plans generally or any particular Plan, or that such an investment is appropriate for Plans generally or any particular Plan.

Total	  	$	400,000,000	  	
	  	 	 	 	
The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several underwriters to purchase the notes offered hereby are subject to certain conditions and that the underwriters will purchase all of the notes offered by this prospectus supplement if any of these notes are purchased.
We have been advised by the underwriters that the underwriters propose to offer the notes directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and to certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of 0.40% of the principal amount of the notes. The underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of 0.25% of the principal amount of the notes to certain other dealers. After the initial public offering, the underwriters may change the offering price and other selling terms. The offering of the notes by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters’ right to reject any order in whole or in part.
We estimate that our share of total expenses of this offering, excluding the underwriting discount, will be less than $1 million.
We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, and to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of any of these liabilities.
The notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or quoted on any automated dealer quotation system. The underwriters may make a market in the notes after completion of the offering, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the notes or that an active trading market for the notes will develop. If an active trading market for the notes does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the notes may be adversely affected.
In connection with the offering of the notes, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the notes. Specifically, the underwriters may overallot in connection with the offering, creating a short position. In addition, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, the notes in the open market to cover short positions or to stabilize the price of the notes. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the notes above independent market levels, but no representation is made hereby that the underwriters will engage in any of those transactions or of the magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the market price of the notes. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received

by it because the underwriters have repurchased notes sold by or for the account of such particular underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions. The underwriters will not be required to engage in these activities, and if they engage in these activities, they may end any of these activities at any time without notice.
The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, investment research, financial advisory, investment management, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking services for us, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses. Certain underwriters in this offering have participated in the prior offerings of our outstanding notes and Class A Common Stock. Affiliates of the underwriters in this offering are also lenders under our revolving credit facilities.
In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve our securities and/or instruments. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.
