made against payment for the Notes on or about Settlement Date indicated above, which will be the </B>3<SUP>rd</SUP> <B>business day following
the trade date of May 3, 2022 (this settlement cycle being referred to as &ldquo;T+3&rdquo;). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally will be 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 on any date prior to the second business
day preceding the Settlement Date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes will initially settle in 3 business days (T+3),
to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own investment advisor.</B></P>
