STYLE="white-space:nowrap">15c6-1</FONT> of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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 trade notes on the date of pricing or the next succeeding business day will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+3, 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 of pricing should consult their own advisor. </B></P>
