unless the parties to the trade agree otherwise. Accordingly, investors in this offering who wish to sell their notes before the second business day preceding the Settlement Date must specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of the
trade to prevent a failed settlement. Those investors should consult their advisors.</TD></TR>
