It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about August 25, 2020, which is the tenth business day following the date hereof (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+10”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to sell their Notes before the second business day prior to the delivery of the Notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+10, to specify an alternative settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Those purchasers should consult their own advisors.
