Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise.  Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Bonds prior to the settlement date will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Bonds initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.  Purchasers of the Bonds who wish to trade the Bonds prior to the settlement date should consult their advisors.
