date of pricing of the notes (such settlement cycle being herein referred to as &#147;T+7&#148;). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to
any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the date hereof or the next three succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle on T+7 (on April 18,
2017) to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of notes who wish to trade notes on the date hereof or the next three succeeding business days should consult their
