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 such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes prior to the business day before settlement will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in two business days (T+2), to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
