The securities offer the potential for quarterly contingent couponpayments at an annualized rate that, if all are paid, would produce a yield that is generally higher than the yield on ourconventional debt securities of the same maturity. In exchange for this higher potential yield, you must be willing toaccept the risks that (i) your actual yield may be lower than the yield on our conventional debt securities of the samematurity because you may not receive one or more, or any, contingent coupon payments and (ii) your actual yield maybe negative because your payment at maturity may be significantly less than the stated principal amount of yoursecurities, and possibly zero. Each of these risks will depend on the performance of the worst performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index®, the Russell 2000®Index and the S&P 500®Index (each, an “underlying index”), as described below. Youwill be subject to risks associated with each of the underlying indices and will be negatively affected by adversemovements in any one of the underlying indices regardless of the performance of the others.
