The undersigned, Joseph Panepinto,
Vice President of The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly The Bank of New York), a New York corporation (the Trustee), hereby
certifies in such capacity that, based on his knowledge, the Trustee has complied, in all
material respects, with all conditions and covenants applicable to the Trustee under the
Standard Terms for Trust Agreements dated February 20,1998 between Merrill Lynch
Depositor, Inc. as depositor (the Depositor) and the Trustee, as successor to United
States Trust Company of New York, as trustee and securities intermediary (the Securities
Intermediary), in each case as amended by a series supplement between the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Securities Intermediary for each trust series listed in the attached
schedule with the exception of the items identified below:

- With respect to the PPLUS Trust Series JPM-1 distribution on June 16, 2008, the amount of interest to be paid by the Trust was calculated incorrectly.  As such, on September 25, 2008, BNY corrected this error and a revised 8-K was filed on October 6, 2008.
- With respect to the PreferredPLUS Trust Series GEC-1, the September 15, 2008 Exhibit 99.1 within the Form 8-K incorrectly referenced the March 17, 2008 distribution date. On March 5, 2009 a revised 8-K was filed to reflect the correct distribution date.
