Trade Date:    October 5, 2009
Settlement Date:   

October 13, 2009 (T+5) closing date, the fifth business day following the date hereof.

 

United expects that delivery of the certificates will be made against payment therefore on or about the closing date specified on the cover page of the prospectus supplement, which will be the fifth business day following the date hereof (this settlement cycle being referred to as T+5). Under Rule 15c6 of the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to the trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade certificates on the date of pricing or the next succeeding business day will be required, by virtue of the fact that the certificates initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisor.
