Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on the Trade Date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternative 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 Trade Date should consult their own advisors.
