Other Terms: We expect that delivery of the securities will be made against payment therefor on or about the Original Issue Date specified above, which will be the fifth business day following the Trade Date (this settlement cycle being referred to as T + 5). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to the trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the securities on the Trade Date or the first business day after the Trade Date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the securities initially will settle in T + 5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisor.
