| ** | Note: Under Rule 15c6-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade these notes prior to the business day before the delivery of these notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that these notes initially settle in T+3, to specify an alternative arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors. |
