We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about the closing date as specified on the cover page of the prospectus supplement, which will be the tenth business day following the date of pricing of the Notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+10”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market are generally required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade such Notes more than two business days prior to the scheduled settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially settle in T+10, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of such Notes who wish to trade Notes prior to the date of delivery hereunder should consult their advisors.
