It is expected that delivery of the Senior Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about March 5, 2015, which will be the fifth business day following the date of pricing of the Senior Notes (such settlement cycle being referred to herein as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 Senior Notes on the date of pricing or the following business day will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Senior Notes initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of Senior Notes who wish to trade the Senior Notes on the date of pricing or the following business day should consult their own advisor.
