(*)

It is expected that delivery of the Debentures will be made against payment therefor on or about September 23, 2022, which is the sixth business day following the date hereof (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+6”). Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Debentures prior to two business days before the date of delivery of the Debentures in this offering will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Debentures initially will settle in T+6, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement. Purchasers of the Debentures who wish to trade the Debentures prior to two business days before the date of delivery of the Debentures in this offering should consult their own advisors.

(**)

An explanation of the significance of ratings may be obtained from the rating agencies. Generally, rating agencies base their ratings on such material and information, and such of their own investigations, studies and assumptions, as they deem appropriate. The rating of the Debentures should be evaluated independently from similar ratings of other securities. A credit rating of a security is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to review, revision, suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
