We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to us under the heading “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the Product Supplement and in the Pricing Supplement. By such consent we do not concede that we are an “expert” for the purposes of the Act.

Very truly yours,
