For purposes of this pricing supplement, a “business day” is a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in New York and London.

Delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about March 21, 2012, which is the fifth business day following the date hereof (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 or the next two 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. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes on the date of pricing and the next two succeeding business days should consult their own advisors.

Validity of the Notes:

Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, as counsel to the Company, has provided the following opinion to the Company: The notes offered by this pricing supplement have been duly authorized, and when issued by the Company, assuming due authentication thereof by the Trustee or The Bank of New York Mellon, as authenticating agent under the Indenture on behalf of the Trustee, and upon payment and delivery in accordance with the Master Agency Agreement, the notes offered by this pricing supplement will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this paragraph shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the opinion letter of such counsel dated August 24, 2011, which has been included as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company filed on August 24, 2011. The opinion is subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The opinion also assumes that the Indenture is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Trustee and is subject to customary assumptions as set forth in such opinion letter. Such counsel does not express any opinion concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York and the Delaware General Corporation Law (including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting the foregoing).
