| * | It is expected that delivery of the mortgage bonds will be made against payment therefor on or about April 6, 2023, which will be the third business day (T+3) following the date hereof. Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1 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 any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the mortgage bonds on the date hereof will be required, by virtue of the fact that the mortgage bonds initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors. |
