Accordingly, acceleration of Prudential Financial, Inc.’s obligations under the notes offered hereunder will not be a remedy for its failure to file those documents or reports with the trustee, and you may have no remedy for the failure other than an action in damages. For certain other outstanding series of notes of Prudential Financial, Inc., acceleration is a remedy, upon appropriate notice and passage of time, for the holders of those securities for Prudential Financial, Inc.’s failure to file documents or reports with the trustee.
