Each time our securities are offered, we will provide a prospectus supplement. The prospectus supplement will contain more specific information about the offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. Any statement that we make in this prospectus will be modified or superseded by any inconsistent statement made by us in a prospectus supplement.

This prospectus is not an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, in any state where the offer or sale is prohibited. The information in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any document incorporated herein or therein by reference is accurate as of the date contained on the cover of such documents.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

The following table contains our consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the periods indicated. You should read these ratios in connection with our consolidated financial statements, including the notes to those statements, incorporated by reference in this prospectus. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no preferred stock outstanding and, accordingly, the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends is equal to the ratio of earnings to fixed charges and is not disclosed separately.

	For the Year Ended December 31,					For the Three-Month Period   Ended March 31, 2016,
	2011	2012	2013	2014	2015
Ratio of earnings to fixed charges	N/A*	N/A*	N/A*	0.47*	1.15	0.77*

* Our earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges for certain periods. The dollar amount of the deficiency in earnings available for fixed charges for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 and thethree-month period ended March 31, 2016 was approximately $165,574,000, $90,585,000, $13,488,000, $9,612,000 and $1,596,000, respectively.

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is calculated as follows:

(income before income taxes and effects of changes in accounting principles) –

(net income fromnon-controlling interests) +

(fixed charges) + (amortization of previously capitalized interest)

– (capitalized interest)

(fixed charges)

Fixed charges consist of

• interest expensed and capitalized,

• amortization of discount & debt issue costs, and

• interest portion of net rental expense.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

This section describes the general terms and provisions of the shares of our common stock. The prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the common stock offered through that prospectus supplement and any general terms outlined in this section that will not apply to that common stock.

We have summarized the material terms and provisions of the common stock in this section. We have also filed our restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (as further amended and/or restated from time to time, our “certificate of incorporation”) and our amended and restated bylaws (as further amended and/or restated from time to time, our “bylaws”), as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. You should read our certificate of incorporation and bylaws for additional information before you buy any of our common stock or any of our securities which may be exercised or exchangeable for or converted into our common stock.

General

As of the date of this prospectus, our authorized common stock was 50,000,000 shares. Of these authorized shares, 22,664,438 were issued and outstanding on June 3, 2016.

Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote per share in the election of directors and on all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Such holders have the right to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Holders of common stock have no redemption or conversion rights and no preemptive or other rights to subscribe for our securities.

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are entitled to share equally and ratably in all of the assets remaining, if any, after satisfaction of all our debts and liabilities, and the preferential rights of any series of our preferred stock then outstanding. The shares of common stock outstanding are fully paid andnon-assessable.

Dividends

Holders of common stock have an equal and ratable right to receive dividends, when, as and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor and only after payment of, or provision for, full dividends on all outstanding shares of any series of preferred stock, if any, and after we have made provision for any required sinking or purchase funds for any series of preferred stock. Our certificate of incorporation provides that no dividend may be declared or paid on any of our capital stock which impairs our capital and that no distribution of assets may be made to any stockholder unless the value of our assets remaining after such payment or distribution is at least equal to the aggregate of our debts, liabilities and capital. We are incorporated in Delaware and are governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Delaware law allows a corporation to pay dividends only out of surplus, as determined under Delaware law, or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend was declared and for the preceding fiscal year. However, under Delaware law, we cannot pay dividends out of net profits if, after we pay the dividend, our capital would be less than the capital represented by the outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of our assets.

Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Certain provisions of Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us or have the effect of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire control of us. For example, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which would make it more difficult for another party to acquire us without the approval of our board of directors. Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may make it less likely that our management would be changed or someone would acquire voting control of our company without our board’s consent. These provisions may delay, deter or prevent tender offers or takeover attempts that stockholders may believe are in their best interests, including tender offers or attempts that might allow stockholders to receive premiums over the market price of their common stock.

Controlling Persons.Under our certificate of incorporation we may not merge or consolidate with any individual, firm, corporation or partnership (an “entity”) in which any controlling stockholder has a direct or indirect interest of 50% or more of the common stock of such entity unless the holders of at least the majority of our outstanding stock, exclusive of those shares held by such controlling stockholder, approve the merger or consolidation. A “controlling stockholder” is an individual, firm, corporation or other entity which is the beneficial owner (as defined in our certificate of incorporation) of 50% or more of our outstanding voting shares.

Preferred Stock.Our board of directors can at any time, under our certificate of incorporation, and without stockholder approval, issue one or more new series of preferred stock. In some cases, the issuance of preferred stock without stockholder approval could discourage or make more difficult attempts to take control of our company through a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. Preferred stock with special voting rights or other features issued to persons favoring our management could stop a takeover by preventing the person trying to take control of our company from acquiring enough voting shares necessary to take control.

7

Nomination Procedures.In addition to our board of directors, stockholders can nominate candidates for election to our board of directors. However, a stockholder must follow the advance notice procedures described in Section 16 of our bylaws. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at our principal executive offices (a) in the case of an annual meeting, not less than sixty days nor more than ninety days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders (provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs), and (b) in the case of a special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of the special meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the special meeting was made, whichever first occurs.

Proposal Procedures.Stockholders can propose that business other than nominations to our board of directors be considered at an annual meeting of stockholders only if a stockholder follows the advance notice procedures described in our bylaws. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than sixty days nor more than ninety days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders (provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs).

Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders, unless otherwise prescribed by law or by our certificate of incorporation, can be called at the request of our board of directors, the executive committee of our board, the chairman of our board or a stockholder or stockholders holding of record at least twenty percent of all our common stock then outstanding and entitled to vote. Special meetings shall be called by means of a notice described in our bylaws.

Amendment of Bylaws.Under our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, our board of directors can adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws, subject to limitations under the Delaware General Corporation Law or in our certificate of incorporation. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our stockholders also have the power to change or repeal our bylaws.

Anti-Takeover Provisions Pursuant to Contractual Arrangements

We are party to certain contractual arrangements which make it less likely that someone would acquire control of our company without the board’s consent.

Stockholders’ Agreement. On June 20, 2013, we entered into a stockholders agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) with TPG Aviator, L.P. (“TPG”) in order to establish various arrangements and restrictions with respect to our governance and certain other rights in connection with TPG’s investment in the company in June 2013. TPG is entitled to nominate to the board (i) four directors, if the ownership of TPG and its affiliates is at least 30%, (ii) three directors, if the ownership of TPG and its affiliates is at least 20%, but less than 30%, (iii) two directors, if the ownership of TPG and its affiliates is at least 15%, but less than 20%, and (iv) one director if the ownership of TPG and its affiliates is at least 5%, but less than 15%. TPG has no nomination rights if its level of ownership is less than 5%.

In addition, we agreed to constitute each of our compensation committee and our finance committee as afive-member committee and guaranteed that TPG has the right to have specified numbers of board members appointed to each such committee, subject to TPG and its affiliates meeting certain ownership thresholds. We also agreed that the entire board of directors (includingTPG-nominated directors) will be included on the executive committee of the board.

Further, pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, for so long as TPG and its affiliates continue to own at least the greater of (i) 25% of the number of shares owned by them as of June 20, 2013 and (ii) 10% of our outstanding common stock, we are not permitted to take any of the following actions without the prior written consent of TPG:

• Any amendment adverse to TPG to our governing documents or our subsidiaries’ governing documents;

• Any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up;

• Any voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency action, or any consent to any involuntary bankruptcy or similar proceeding;

• Any increase or decrease in the size of the board of directors or any committee;

• Any change in the rights and responsibilities of either the finance committee of the board or the compensation committee of the board; and

• Any issuance of equity securities that are senior to our common stock.

8

In addition, for so long as TPG’s ownership is equal to or greater than 5% of our outstanding common stock, the rights and responsibilities of the finance committee of the board will include (i) any sale, issuance or authorization of new securities by us or any of our subsidiaries, (ii) any redemption, purchase, repurchase or other acquisition of securities by us or any subsidiary, other than in connection with equity compensation arrangements, (iii) any incurrence of indebtedness or certain debt-like obligations, with limited exceptions, (iv) any hiring or firing of members of senior management, (v) any land or builder acquisitions or dispositions, any acquisitions or dispositions of subsidiaries or any other acquisitions or dispositions, in each case, that are greater than $5 million (including total expected capital requirements and development costs), (vi) any capital expenditures or land commitments over an agreed upon budget, as approved by the board of directors, or otherwise greater than $10 million, and (vii) any entry into new markets or lines of business.

Finally, the Stockholders Agreement provides that, except in certain cases, TPG has apre-emptive right to participate in our future equity issuances for so long as TPG and its affiliates own at least 10% of our outstanding common stock.

Rights Agreement. On June 19, 2013, we entered into a rights agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) with Computershare Shareowner Services LLC. Under the Rights Agreement, each share of common stock will carry with it one preferred share purchase right (each, a “Right”). In general terms, the Rights work to impose a significant penalty upon any person or group that acquires 4.9% or more of the outstanding common stock without the approval of the board of directors. Stockholders that owned 4.9% or more of the outstanding common stock as of June 19, 2013 will not trigger the Rights so long as they do not (i) acquire additional shares of common stock or (ii) fall under 4.9% ownership of common stock and thenre-acquire shares that in the aggregate equal 4.9% or more of the common stock. The board of directors may, in its sole discretion, exempt any person or group for purposes of the Rights Agreement if it determines that the acquisition by such person or group will not materially increase the risk that we will not be able to make use of our federal income tax attributes or is otherwise in our best interest (such a person or group, an “exempt person”).

The Rights are inseparable from shares of common stock until they become exercisable or otherwise expire. Each Right allows its holder to purchase from us oneone-thousandth of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock (a “Series B Preferred Share”) for $85, subject to adjustment, once the Rights become exercisable. This portion of a Series B Preferred Share will give the stockholder approximately the same dividend and liquidation rights as one share of common stock. The Rights are not exercisable until ten days after the public announcement that a person or group has become an “acquiring person” by obtaining beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of the outstanding common stock (or, if already the beneficial ownership of at least 4.9% of the outstanding common stock, by acquiring additional shares of common stock), unless exempted by the board of directors. After such tenday-period, the Rights will separate from the shares of common stock and be evidenced by rights certificates that we will mail to eligible stockholders. Any rights held by the acquiring person are void and may not be exercised.

Each oneone-thousandth interest in a Series B Preferred Share, if issued, (i) will not be redeemable, (ii) will entitle its holder to dividends, if any, paid on one share of common stock, (iii) will entitle its holder upon liquidation to receive $1.00 or an amount equal to the payment made on one share of common stock, whichever is greater, (iv) will have the same voting power as one share of common stock, and (v) will entitle its holder to a per share payment equal to the payment made on one share of common stock, if shares of common stock are exchanged via merger, consolidation or a similar transaction.

The Rights will expire on the earliest of (i) June 19, 2016, (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed, (iii) the time at which the Rights are exchanged, (iv) the repeal of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor statute, or any other change, if the board of directors determines that the Rights Agreement is no longer necessary for the preservation of tax benefits, (v) the beginning of a taxable year to which the board of directors determines that no tax benefits may be carried forward, or (vi) a determination by the board of directors, prior to the time any person or group becomes an acquiring person, that the Rights Agreement and the Rights are no longer in the best interest of us or our stockholders.

Letter Agreement. Also on June 19, 2013, we entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with TPG. The Letter Agreement provides that TPG and its affiliates and associates are considered exempt persons under the Rights Agreement, and any person who acquires common stock from TPG (and such person’s affiliates and associates) are exempt persons under the Rights Agreement, subject to certain conditions and exceptions.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare, 250 Royall Street, Canton, Massachusetts 02021. Computershare may be reached by telephone at(800) 850-3132.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

This section describes the general terms and provisions of our debt securities. The prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the debt securities offered through that prospectus supplement and any general terms outlined in this section that will not apply to those debt securities.

The debt securities offered pursuant to this prospectus will be unsecured obligations, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, and will be either senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities and may be convertible debt securities. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the senior debt securities will be issued under the indenture dated as of February 4, 2011 between Wilmington Trust, National Association (as successor to Wilmington Trust FSB), as trustee (the “senior indenture”), and us, and the subordinated debt securities will be issued under an indenture between the subordinated trustee named in the applicable prospectus supplement (the “subordinated indenture”) and us.

We have summarized the material terms and provisions of the senior and subordinated indentures in this section. Where we make no distinction in our summary between senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities, the applicable information refers to any debt securities. We have also filed the senior indenture and the form of subordinated indenture as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. You should read the applicable indenture for additional information before you buy any debt securities.

General

Neither indenture will limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities we may issue and each indenture will provide that we may issue debt securities thereunder from time to time in one or more series. Neither indenture will limit the amount of other indebtedness or debt securities which we or our subsidiaries may issue.

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, any senior debt securities will be our unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

The debt securities are our unsecured senior or subordinated securities, as the case may be, but our assets include equity in our subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to make payments on our debt securities depends in part on our receipt of dividends, loan payments and other funds from our subsidiaries. In addition, if any of our subsidiaries becomes insolvent, the direct creditors of that subsidiary will have a prior claim on its assets. Our rights and the rights of our creditors, including your rights as an owner of our debt securities, will be subject to that prior claim, unless we are also a direct creditor of that subsidiary. This subordination of creditors of a parent company to prior claims of creditors of its subsidiaries is commonly referred to as structural subordination.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may, without the consent of the holders of a series of debt securities, issue additional debt securities of that series having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity date and other terms (except for the price to public and issue date) as such debt securities. Any such additional debt securities, together with the initial debt securities, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the applicable indenture.

You should refer to the applicable prospectus supplement for a description of the specific series of debt securities we are offering by that prospectus supplement. The terms may include:

• the name of the issuer of the debt securities and, if applicable, the name of any guarantor;

• the title and specific designation of the debt securities, including whether they are senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities and, if applicable, whether the guarantee will be senior or subordinated;

• whether those debt securities will be guaranteed;

• the terms of subordination, if applicable;

• any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities or the series of which they are a part;

• whether the debt securities are convertible and, if so, the terms of conversion;

• the date or dates on which we must pay principal;

• the rate or rates at which the debt securities will bear interest or the manner in which interest will be determined, if any interest is payable;

• the date or dates from which any interest will accrue, the date or dates on which we must pay interest and the record date for determining who is entitled to any interest payment;

• the place or places where we must pay the debt securities and where any debt securities issued in registered form may be sent for transfer or exchange;

• the terms and conditions on which we may redeem the debt securities or be required to repurchase the debt securities;

11

• the terms and conditions of any sinking fund;

• the provisions dealing with modifications, amendments and waivers of any terms of the debt securities;

• if other than denominations of $1,000, the denominations in which we may issue the debt securities;

• the amount we will pay if the maturity of the debt securities is accelerated;

• whether we will issue the debt securities in the form of one or more global securities and, if so, the identity of the depositary for the global security or securities;

• events of default or covenants (including relating to merger, consolidations and sales of assets) that apply to the debt securities;

• whether the debt securities will be defeasible; and

• any other terms of the debt securities and any other deletions from or modifications or additions to the applicable indenture in respect of the debt securities, including those relating to the subordination of any debt securities.

When we use the term “holder” in this prospectus with respect to a registered debt security, we mean the person in whose name such debt security is registered in the security register.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not be listed on any securities exchange.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will pay principal, premium and interest on the debt securities at the office or agency we maintain for that purpose (initially the corporate trust office of the applicable trustee). Interest will be payable on any interest payment date to the registered owners of the debt securities at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest payment in immediately available funds. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement all paying agents we initially designate for the debt securities. We may designate additional paying agents, rescind the designation of any paying agent or approve a change in the office through which any paying agent acts, but we must maintain a paying agent in each place where payments on the debt securities are payable.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will not pay any additional amounts on the debt securities offered thereby to compensate any beneficial owner for any United States tax withheld from payments on such debt securities.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities may be presented for transfer (duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, if we or the security registrar so requires) or exchanged for other debt securities of the same series (containing identical terms and provisions, in any authorized denominations, and in the same aggregate principal amount) at the office or agency we maintain for that purpose (initially the corporate trust office of the applicable trustee). There will be no service charge for any transfer or exchange, but we may require payment sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge or expenses payable in connection with the transfer or exchange.

We may initially appoint the applicable trustee as security registrar. Any transfer agent (in addition to the security registrar) we initially designate for any debt securities will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may designate additional transfer agents, rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, but we must maintain a transfer agent in each place where any payments on the debt securities are payable.

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue the debt securities only in fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The debt securities may be represented in whole or in part by one or more global debt securities. Each global security will be registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee and the global security will bear a legend regarding the restrictions on exchanges and registration of transfer. Interests in a global security will be shown on records maintained by the depositary and its participants, and transfers of those interests will be made as described below. Provisions relating to the use of global securities are more fully described below in the section entitled “—Book-Entry, Delivery and Form.”

We may issue the debt securities as original issue discount securities (bearing no interest or bearing interest at a rate which at the time of issuance is below market rates) to be sold at a substantial discount below their principal amount. We will describe certain special U.S. federal income tax and other considerations applicable to any debt securities that are issued as original issue discount securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

If the purchase price of any debt securities is payable in one or more foreign currencies or currency units, or if any debt securities are denominated in one or more foreign currencies or currency units, or if any payments on the debt securities are payable in one or more foreign currencies or currency units, we will describe the restrictions, elections, certain U.S. federal income tax considerations, specific terms and other information about the debt securities and the foreign currency or currency units in the applicable prospectus supplement.

12

We will comply with Section 14(e) under the Exchange Act, and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable, in connection with any obligation to purchase debt securities at the option of the holders. Any such obligation applicable to a series of debt securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Book-Entry, Delivery and Form

We have obtained the information in this section concerning The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), Clearstream Banking S.A. (“Clearstream”), and Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), and thebook-entry system and procedures from sources that we believe to be reliable.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be issued asfully-registered global securities which will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC and registered, at the request of DTC, in the name of Cede & Co. Beneficial interests in the global securities will be represented throughbook-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct or indirect participants in DTC. The direct and indirect participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Investors may elect to hold their interests in the global securities through either DTC (in the United States) or (in Europe) through Clearstream or through Euroclear. Investors may hold their interests in the global securities directly if they are participants of such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in these 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 U.S. depositaries (collectively, the “U.S. Depositories”), which in turn will hold these interests in customers’ securities accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of DTC. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, beneficial interests in the global securities will be held in denominations of $1,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Except as set forth below, the global securities may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee.

Debt securities represented by a global security can be exchanged for definitive securities in registered form only if:

• DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for that global security and we do not appoint a qualified successor depositary within 90 days after receiving that notice;

• at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and we do not appoint a successor depositary within 90 days after becoming aware that DTC has ceased to be registered as a clearing agency;

• we in our sole discretion determine that such global security will be exchangeable for definitive securities in registered form or elect to terminate thebook-entry system through DTC and notify the applicable trustee of our decision; or

• an event of default with respect to the debt securities represented by that global security has occurred and is continuing.

A global security that can be exchanged as described in the preceding sentence will be exchanged for definitive securities issued in authorized denominations in registered form for the same aggregate amount. The definitive securities will be registered in the names of the owners of the beneficial interests in the global security as directed by DTC.

We will make principal and interest payments on all debt securities represented by a global security to the paying agent which in turn will make payment to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole holder of the debt securities represented by a global security for all purposes under the applicable indenture. Accordingly, we, the applicable trustee and any paying agent will have no responsibility or liability for:

• any aspect of DTC’s records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in a debt security represented by a global security;

• any other aspect of the relationship between DTC and its participants or the relationship between those participants and the owners of beneficial interests in a global security held through those participants; or

• the maintenance, supervision or review of any of DTC’s records relating to those beneficial ownership interests.

DTC has advised us that its current practice is to credit direct participants’ accounts on each payment date with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such global security as shown on DTC’s records, upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information. The underwriters or agents for the debt securities represented by a global security will initially designate the accounts to be credited. Payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a global security will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for customer accounts registered in “street name,” and will be the sole responsibility of those participants, and not of DTC or its nominee, the applicable trustee, any agent of ours, or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements.Book-entry notes may be more difficult to pledge because of the lack of a physical note.

DTC

So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of a global security, DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner and holder of the debt securities represented by that global security for all purposes of the debt securities.

13

Owners of beneficial interests in the debt securities will not be entitled to have debt securities registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the debt securities in definitive form and will not be considered owners or holders of debt securities under the applicable indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a global security must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if that person is not a DTC participant, on the procedures of the participant through which that person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder of debt securities. The laws of some jurisdictions may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of the securities in certificated form. These laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security. Beneficial owners may experience delays in receiving distributions on their debt securities since distributions will initially be made to DTC and must then be transferred through the chain of intermediaries to the beneficial owner’s account.

We understand that, under existing industry practices, if we request holders to take any action, or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security desires to take any action which a holder is entitled to take under the applicable indenture, then DTC would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to take that action and those participants would authorize the beneficial owners owning through such participants to take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them.

Beneficial interests in a global security will be shown on, and transfers of those ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC and its participants for that global security. The conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to its participants and by its participants to owners of beneficial interests in the debt securities will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements in effect.

DTC has advised us that it is alimited-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 under the Exchange Act. DTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries.

DTC holds the securities of its participants and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its participants in such securities through electronicbook-entry changes in accounts of its participants. The electronicbook-entry system eliminates the need for physical certificates. DTC’s participants include securities brokers and dealers, including underwriters, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, some of which, and/or their representatives, own DTCC. Banks, brokers, dealers, trust companies and others that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly, also have access to DTC’sbook-entry system. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC.

DTC has advised us that the above information with respect to DTC has been provided to its participants and other members of the financial community for informational purposes only and is not intended to serve as a representation, warranty or contract modification of any kind.

Clearstream

Clearstream has advised us that it is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg and acts as a professional depositary. Clearstream holds securities for its participating organizations, or “Clearstream Participants,” and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream Participants through electronicbook-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 securities markets in several countries. As a professional depositary, 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. Clearstream’s U.S. Participants are limited to securities brokers and dealers and banks. 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 debt securities held beneficially through Clearstream will be credited to cash accounts of Clearstream Participants in accordance with its rules and procedures, to the extent received by the U.S. Depositary for Clearstream.

Euroclear

Euroclear has advised us that it was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of Euroclear, or “Euroclear Participants,” and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear Participants through simultaneous electronicbook-entry delivery against

14

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 interacts with domestic markets in several countries. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., or the “Euroclear Operator,” under contract with Euroclear plc, a U.K. corporation. All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator, not Euroclear plc. Euroclear plc establishes policy for Euroclear on behalf of Euroclear Participants. Euroclear Participants include banks, including central banks, securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries. 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. Euroclear is an indirect participant in DTC.

The Euroclear Operator is a Belgian bank. As such it is regulated by the Belgian Banking and Finance Commission and the National Bank of Belgium.

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 the Euroclear System, and applicable Belgian law, which we will refer to herein as 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 record of or relationship with persons holding through Euroclear Participants.

Distributions with respect to debt securities 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 Euroclear Operator.

Euroclear has further advised us that investors that acquire, hold and transfer interests in the debt securities bybook-entry through accounts with the Euroclear Operator or any other securities intermediary are subject to the laws and contractual provisions governing their relationship with their intermediary, as well as the laws and contractual provisions governing the relationship between such an intermediary and each other intermediary, if any, standing between themselves and the global securities.

Global Clearance and Settlement Procedures

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, initial settlement for the debt securities 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’sSame-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 and will be settled using the procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds in immediately available funds.

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 on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by its U.S. Depositary; however, suchcross-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 debt securities through DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures forsame-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Clearstream Participants and Euroclear Participants may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S. Depositaries.

Because oftime-zone differences, credits of debt securities received through 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 debt securities settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Euroclear Participants or Clearstream Participants on such business day. Cash received in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of sales of debt securities 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.

If the debt securities are cleared only through Euroclear and Clearstream (and not DTC), you will be able to make and receive through Euroclear and Clearstream payments, deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices, and other transactions involving any securities held through those systems only on days when those systems are open for business. Those systems may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers, and other institutions are open for business in the United States. In addition, because oftime-zone differences, U.S. investors who hold their interests in the securities through these systems and wish to transfer their interests, or to receive or make a payment or delivery or exercise any other right with respect to their interests, on a particular day may find that the

15

transaction will not be effected until the next business day in Luxembourg or Brussels, as applicable. Thus, U.S. investors who wish to exercise rights that expire on a particular day may need to act before the expiration date.

Although DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear have agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of debt securities 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 modified or discontinued at any time. Neither we nor any paying agent will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective direct or indirect participants of their obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Notices

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, any notices required to be given to the holders of the debt securities in global form will be given to the depositary.

Governing Law

The senior indenture is, and the senior debt securities will be, governed by and will be construed in accordance with New York law. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the subordinated indenture and the subordinated debt securities will be governed by and will be construed in accordance with New York law.

16

• pension funds;

• investment companies; and

• educational and charitable institutions.

The institutional purchaser’s obligations under the contract are only subject to the condition that the purchase of the offered securities at the time of delivery is allowed by the laws that govern the purchaser. The dealers and our agents will not be responsible for the validity or performance of the contracts.

We may have agreements with the underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments which the underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make as a result of those certain civil liabilities.

In connection with any offering of the securities offered under this prospectus, underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of such securities or any other securities the prices of which may be used to determine payments on such securities. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by underwriters of a greater number of securities than the underwriters are required to purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities while the offering is in progress.

Underwriters may also impose a penalty bid in any offering of securities offered under this prospectus through a syndicate of underwriters. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the other underwriters have repurchased securities sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

These activities by underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities offered under this prospectus. As a result, the price of such securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected in theover-the-counter market or otherwise.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Generally, Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), permits a corporation to indemnify certain persons made a party to an action by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. To the extent that person has been successful in any such matter, that person shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him. In the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made in respect of any matter as to which that person was adjudged liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which the action was brought determines that, despite the adjudication of liability, that person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for proper expenses.

Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a Delaware corporation to include a provision in its certificate of incorporation limiting a director’s liability to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty as a director. We have adopted provisions in our certificate of incorporation that provide for such limitation to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.

Our directors and officers are covered by insurance policies indemnifying against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act, which might be incurred by them in such capacities and against which they may not be indemnified by us.

The underwriting agreements that we may enter into may provide for indemnification by any underwriters of us, our directors, our officers who sign this registration statement and our controlling persons for certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

ITEM 16. EXHIBITS

Reference is made to the information contained in the Exhibit Index filed as part of this Registration Statement, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 17     UNDERTAKINGS

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, apost-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recentpost-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a

II-1

20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in apost-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each suchpost-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of apost-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the

II-2

question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(d) To file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the “Trust indenture Act”) in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the SEC under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.
