The Issuer expects delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about March 22, 2012, which is the 5th business day following the date of the pricing of the notes (such settlement being referred to as "T+5"). Under Rule 15(c)6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes on the date of pricing of the notes or on the next succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+5), to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
