It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about December 1, 2009, which is the ninth business day following the date of pricing of the notes (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+9”). You should note that trading of the notes on the date of pricing or on the succeeding five business days may be affected by the T+9 settlement. Purchasers who wish to trade notes on the date of pricing or the succeeding five business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+9, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.
