* Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time. The ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by Moody’s or Fitch. Each of the security ratings above should be evaluated independently of any other security rating.
** Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to such trade expressly agree otherwise at the time of the trade. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes prior to the date of delivery of the Notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in seven business days (T+7), to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
