(1) A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.

(2) It is expected that delivery of the Fixed Rate Senior Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about the settlement date specified on this communication, which will be the third business day following the date of pricing of the Fixed Rate Senior Notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as ‘‘T+3’’). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the SEC under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Fixed Rate Senior Notes prior to their date of delivery may be required, by virtue of the fact that the Fixed Rate Senior Notes initially will settle in T+3 to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of Fixed Rate Senior Notes who wish to trade Fixed Rate Senior Notes prior to their date of delivery should consult their own advisor.
