following the date of pricing of the notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as &#147;T+4&#148;). Under Rule 15c6-l of the Exchange Act, 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 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+4, to specify
an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes on the date of pricing or the next succeeding business day should consult their own advisor. </B></P>
