The following language is hereby added to the section entitled Underwriting on page S-73 of the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement: | ||||||
We expect that delivery of the notes will be made to investors on or about January 11, 2011, which will be the fifth business day following the date of this prospectus supplement (such settlement cycle being herein referred to as T+5). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market 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 hereunder will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of notes who wish to trade notes prior to their date of delivery hereunder should consult their own advisor. |
