We expect to deliver the notes against payment for the notes on or about the settlement date specified in this pricing term sheet, which will be the seventh business day following the date of the pricing of the notes (“T+7”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on any day prior to two business days before delivery will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement and should consult with their own advisors.
