Independent
Accountants Report The Board of Directors 
    The Bank of
New York Mellon: We have  examined  the   accompanying managements assertion that The Bank of New  York   Mellon (formerly the Bank of New York), (the  Company)  complied with the  PPLUS  Minimum
 Servicing Standards  for the PreferredPLUS  Trust Series LMG-2
 transaction  as of and for the year ended  December 31, 2009.  With
respect to servicing  standard 4, 5, 6  and 7, managements assertion indicates that there were no activities  performed during the
year ended  December  31,  2009 with  respect to the  PreferredPLUS  Trust  Series
 LMG-2  transaction, because  there  were no  occurrences  of events  that  would
 require  the  Company  to  perform  such  activities. Management is responsible for the
Companys  compliance with those servicing  criteria.  Our  responsibility  is to
express an opinion on managements assertion about the Companys compliance based on our examination. Our examination was made in
accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the
Companys compliance with the Minimum Servicing Standards specified above and
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We
believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our
examination does not provide a legal determination on the Companys compliance with
the PPLUS Minimum Servicing Standards. In our opinion,  managements assertion that the Company has complied with the aforementioned Minimum Servicing Standards as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2009 is fairly stated, in all material respects. /s/ KPMG LLP Chicago, Illinois
