     On March 16, 2008, JPMorgan Chase & Co. ("JPMorgan Chase") announced that
     it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 16, 2008
     (the "Agreement and Plan of Merger"), and subsequently amended by Amendment
     No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 24, 2008 (such
     amendment, together with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the "Merger
     Agreement"), with The Bear Stearns Companies Inc., the parent company of
     Bear Stearns Financial Products Inc. The Merger Agreement provides that,
     upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Merger Agreement,
     a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase will merge with and into The
     Bear Stearns Companies Inc. with The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. continuing
     as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan
     Chase.  The Merger Agreement has been approved by the Boards of Directors
     of The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. and JPMorgan Chase and is subject to
     customary closing conditions, including stockholder approval.  The Federal
     Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and other federal
     agencies have given all necessary approvals for the merger.  The merger is
     expected to be completed by the end of the second calendar year quarter of
     2008, however there can be no assurance that the merger will close as
     contemplated.

     In connection with the Merger Agreement, JPMorgan Chase issued an Amended
     and Restated Guaranty Agreement, effective as of March 16, 2008 (the
     "Guaranty"), guaranteeing the obligations and liabilities of The Bear
     Stearns Companies Inc. and certain of its affiliates, including the Bear
     Stearns Financial Products Inc.'s obligations under the interest rate
     corridor contracts.  A copy of the Guaranty is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to
     this Form 10-K.  Except with respect to the addition of this Guaranty, the
     terms and conditions of the interest rate corridor contracts remain
     unchanged.

     JPMorgan Chase is a financial holding company incorporated under Delaware
     law, whose principal office is located in New York, New York.  JPMorgan
     Chase services include investment banking, financial services for
     consumers, small business and commercial banking, financial transaction
     processing, asset management, and private equity. A component of the Dow
     Jones Industrial Average, JPMorgan Chase serves millions of consumers in
     the United States and many of the world's corporate, institutional and
     government clients under its JPMorgan and Chase brands.

     There are no other affiliated parties.  There are currently no business
     relationships, agreements, arrangements, transactions or understandings
     between (a) the Sponsor, the Company or the Issuing Entity and (b) the
     Trustee or Bear Stearns Financial Products Inc., or any of their
     affiliates, that were entered into outside the normal course of business
     or that contain terms other than would be obtained in an arm's length
     transaction with an unrelated third party and that are material to an
     investor's understanding of the Certificates.  No such business
     relationship, agreement, arrangement, transaction or understanding has
     existed during the past two years.
