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 QWS-2 transaction as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2010. 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, 2010 with respect to the PreferredPLUS  Trust Series QWS-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, 2010 is fairly stated, in
all material respects. /s/ KPMG Chicago, Illinois
