We expect that the delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about November 9, 2012, which will be the sixth business day following the date of pricing of the notes (such settlement cycle being herein referred to as “T+6”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three 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 two business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle T+6, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of notes who wish to trade notes on the date of pricing or the next two business days should consult their advisors.
