Note: A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.

The issuer has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates.

**

We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about November 15, 2018, which will be the fifth business day after the date hereof. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the SEC under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes prior to the second business day before their date of delivery, by virtue of the fact that the Notes will settle in five business days, should specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Such purchasers should consult their own advisors in this regard.

You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov.
