It is expected that delivery of the bonds will be made on or about the settlement date specified above, which will be the fifth business day (T+5) following the date of this term sheet. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days (T+3), unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, the purchasers who wish to trade the bonds on the date of this term sheet or the next business day will be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle 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 this term sheet or the next business day should consult their own advisors. |
