* 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.

** Under Rule 15c6-1 of the 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 the Notes prior to the second business day prior to the settlement date will be required, because the 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. If you wish to trade the Notes prior to the second business day prior to the settlement date, you should consult your own advisors.
