These class exemptions include, without limitation, PTCE 84-14 (respecting transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTCE 90-1 (respecting insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTCE 91-38 (respecting bank collective investment funds), PTCE 95-60 (respecting life insurance company general accounts) and PTCE 96-23 (respecting transactions determined by in-house asset managers). In addition, Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code provide relief from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code for certain transactions between a Covered Plan and certain non-fiduciary service providers (and affiliates of such service providers) to such Covered Plan.

#### Other Plans
Plans such as Governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) (if no election has been made under Section 410(d) of the Code), and non-U.S. Plans (as defined in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA), while generally not subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA or to the prohibited transaction provisions of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, may be subject to Similar Laws that include similar requirements. Fiduciaries of any such Plans should consult with their legal advisors regarding the potential consequences of an investment in the notes under any applicable Similar Laws before purchasing or holding any notes.

Because of the foregoing, the notes should not be purchased or held by any person investing the assets of any Plan, unless such purchase and holding will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA
