issuer's Exchange Act reports is not reliable, neither the

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

publicly disclosed which would affect the accuracy or
completeness of the publicly available documents described
