Closing Date / Settlement Date: We expect that delivery of the Senior Secured Transition Bonds (the “Bonds”) will be made to investors on or about November 6, 2009 (such settlement being referred to as “T+6”). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in three business days (such settlement referred to as “T+3”), unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Bonds on the date of pricing or on the next two (2) business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Bonds initially will settle at T+6, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Bonds who wish to trade the Bonds on the date of pricing or the next two (2) business days should consult their advisors.
