Settlement Date: |
It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on November 1, 2006, which will be the sixth Business Day following the Pricing Date (such settlement being referred to as T+6). Under Rule 15c6-1 under 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 any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes on the Pricing Date or the next two Business Days following the Pricing Date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+6, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes on the Pricing Date or the next two Business Days following the Pricing Date should consult their own advisors. |
