||||||||||||||||||||||
general
prospectus supplement, upon issuance, all of the Notes will be represented
by one or more fully
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
registered
global Notes. Each global Note will be deposited with, or on behalf
of,
The Depository
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Trust
Company, otherwise known as DTC, or any successor to it (the
“depository”),
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
as
depositary, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., DTC’s
partnership nominee. Unless and
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
until
it is exchanged in whole or in part for Notes in definitive form,
no
global Note may be
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
transferred
except as a whole by the depository to a nominee of the depository
or by a
nominee of
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
the
depository to the depository or another nominee of the depository
or by
the depository or any
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
nominee
to a successor of the depository or a nominee of its successor. Investors
may elect to
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
hold
interests in the global Notes through either the depository, in the
United
States, or
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Clearstream
Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”), or Euroclear Bank
S.A./N.V.,
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
as
operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), if they are participants
in
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
these
systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants
in
these systems.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Clearstream,
Luxembourg and Euroclear will hold interests on behalf of their
participants
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
through
customers’ securities accounts in Clearstream, Luxembourg’s and
Euroclear’s names on
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
the
books of their respective depositaries, which in turn will hold interests
in customers’
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
securities
accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of the
depository.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
At
the present time, Citibank, N.A. acts as U.S. depositary for Clearstream,
Luxembourg and
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A. acts as U.S. depositary for Euroclear (each a “U.S.
Depositary”).
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Beneficial
interests in the global securities will be held in denominations
of $1,000
and integral multiples
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
thereof.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Cross-market
transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through
the
depository
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
on
the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Clearstream, Luxembourg
or Euroclear Participants,
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
on
the other, will be effected within the depository in accordance with
the
depository’s rules on behalf
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
of
the relevant European international clearing system by its U.S.
Depositary; 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). The relevant European international clearing system
will,
if the transaction
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
meets
its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its U.S. Depositary
to take action to effect
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
final
settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving notes in the
depository, and making or receiving
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
payment
in accordance with normal procedures. Clearstream, Luxembourg Participants
and Euroclear
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Participants
may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S.
Depositaries.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Because
of time-zone differences, credits of notes received in Clearstream,
Luxembourg or
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Euroclear
as a result of a transaction with a depository participant will be
made
during subsequent
|
securities
settlement processing and dated the business day following the depository
settlement date.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Such
credits, or any transactions in the notes settled during such processing,
will be reported to the
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
relevant
Euroclear Participants or Clearstream, Luxembourg Participants on
that
business day. Cash
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
received
in Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of sales of notes
by
or through a
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Clearstream,
Luxembourg Participant or a Euroclear Participant to a depository
participant will be
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
received
with value on the business day of settlement in the depository but
will be
available in the
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
relevant
Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear cash account only as of the
business
day following
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
settlement
in the depository.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Although
the depository, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear have agreed
to the
foregoing
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
procedures
in order to facilitate transfers of securities among participants
of the
depository, Clearstream,
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Luxembourg
and Euroclear, they are under no obligation to perform or continue
to
perform
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
such
procedures and they may discontinue the procedures at any
time.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
