               For information with respect to the underlying securities held by

               information on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
               (the "SEC"). You can read and copy these reports and other
               information at the public reference facilities maintained by the
               SEC at Room 1024, 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20549.
               You may obtain copies of this material for a fee by writing to
               the SEC's Public Reference Section of the SEC at 450 Fifth

               about the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the

               information electronically by means of the SEC's website on the
               Internet at http://www.sec.gov, which contains reports, proxy and
               information statements and other information that the underlying
               securities issuer has filed electronically with the SEC.

               Although we have no reason to believe the information concerning
               the underlying securities or the underlying securities issuer
               contained in the underlying securities issuer's Exchange Act
               reports is not reliable, neither the depositor nor the trustee
               participated in the preparation of such documents or made any due
               diligence inquiry with respect to the information provided
               therein. No investigation with respect to the underlying
               securities issuer (including, without limitation, no
               investigation as to its financial condition or creditworthiness)
               or of the underlying securities has been made. You should obtain
               and evaluate the same information concerning the underlying
               securities issuer as you would obtain and evaluate if your
               investment were directly in the underlying securities or in other
               securities issued by the underlying securities issuer. There can
               be no assurance that events affecting the underlying securities
               or the underlying securities issuer have not occurred or have not
               yet been publicly disclosed which would affect the accuracy or
               completeness of the publicly available documents described above.
