Note: A credit rating of a security is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.

**

Note: We expect to deliver the notes against payment for the notes on the third business day following the date of the pricing of the notes (“T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes prior to the business day preceding the date of delivery may be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
