** We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about November 13, 2017, which is the fifth business day following the date of this pricing term sheet (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes earlier than the second business day before November 13, 2017 will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle T+5, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement, and so should consult their own advisors.
