will be the third business day following the date of this pricing term sheet (such settlement being referred to as &#147;T+3&#148;). Under Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">15c6-1</FONT> under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
trades in the secondary market are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes prior to the second business day before the date of
delivery of the Notes hereunder will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who
wish to trade the Notes prior to the second business day before the date of delivery of the Notes hereunder should consult their advisors. </P></TD></TR></TABLE>
