 engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Corporate Units. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot in connection with this offering, creating short positions in the Corporate Units for their own accounts. In addition, to cover over-allotments or to stabilize the price of the Corporate Units, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, Corporate Units in the open market. Finally, the underwriters may reclaim selling concessions allowed to the underwriters or dealers for distributing Corporate Units in this offering, if the underwriters repurchase previously distributed Corporate Units in transactions to cover short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the Corporate Units above independent market levels. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time without notice.

In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases.

Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, purchases or sales of securities in the secondary market generally are required to settle within one business day (T+1), unless the parties to any such transactions expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers of the Corporate Units who wish to trade the Corporate Units on the date of this Prospectus Supplement or the next succeeding business day will be required, because the Corporate Units will settle within two business days (T+2), to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Corporate Units who wish to trade on the date of this Prospectus Supplement or the next succeeding business day should consult their own legal advisors.

In the ordinary course of business, the under
