Agents and Direct Sales

We may sell securities directly or through agents that we designate. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offering and sale and state any commissions we will pay to that agent. Unless we indicate otherwise in the prospectus supplement, any agent is acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px">Institutional Investors

If we indicate in the
prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers from various institutional investors to purchase securities. In this case, payment and delivery will be made on a future date that the prospectus supplement
specifies. The underwriters, dealers or agents may impose limitations on the minimum amount that the institutional investor can purchase. They may also impose limitations on the portion of the aggregate amount of the securities that they may sell.
These institutional investors include:

 







  

commercial and savings banks;

insurance companies;

 







  

pension funds;

 







  

investment companies;

 







  

educational and charitable institutions; and

 







  

other similar institutions as we may approve.

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The obligations of any of these purchasers pursuant to delayed delivery and payment arrangements will not be subject to any conditions. However, one exception applies. An institution’s purchase of the particular
securities cannot at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction that governs:

 







  

the validity of the arrangements; or

 







  

the performance by us or the institutional investor.

SIZE="2">Indemnification

Agreements that we have entered into with underwriters, dealers or agents may entitle them to
indemnification by us against various civil liabilities. These include liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. The agreements may also entitle them to contribution for payments which they may be required to make as a result of these
liabilities. Underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

SIZE="2">Market Making

In the event that we do not list securities of any series on a U.S. national securities exchange, various
broker-dealers may make a market in the securities, but will have no obligation to do so, and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. Consequently, it may be the case that no broker-dealer will make a market in securities of
any series or that the liquidity of the trading market for the securities will be limited.
