The Notes will be offered from time to time in one or more negotiated transactions at varying prices to be determined at the time of each sale, which may be at prevailing market prices, at prices related to such prevailing prices, or at negotiated prices; provided, however, that such price will not be less than $985.50 per $1,000.00 principal amount of the Notes or more than $1,000.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount of the Notes.

ADDITIONAL RISK FACTOR

Investing in the Notes involves significant risks. Please read "Risk Factors" beginning on S-3 the accompanying prospectus supplement, including the risk factors incorporated therein. References to the term "issue price" therein should be construed as references to "the price you pay for the Notes". In addition, the Notes are subject to the additional risks set forth below.

The price you pay for the Notes may be higher than the prices paid by other investors.

The Selling Agent proposes to offer the Notes from time to time for sale to investors in one or more negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to then-prevailing prices, at negotiated prices, or otherwise. Accordingly, there is a risk that the price you pay for your Notes will be higher than the prices paid by other investors based on the date and time you made your purchase, from whom you purchased the Notes, any related transaction costs, whether you hold your Notes in a brokerage account, a fiduciary or fee-based account or another type of account and other market factors.
