The underlying securities issuer DaimlerChrysler North America Holding Corp.

No investigation with respect to the underlying securities issuers (including, without limitation, no investigation as to their financial condition or creditworthiness) or of the underlying securities has been made. You should obtain and evaluate the same information concerning the respective underlying securities issuers as you would obtain and evaluate if you were investing directly in the respective underlying securities or in other securities issued by the respective underlying securities issuers. There can be no assurance that events affecting the respective underlying securities or the respective underlying securities issuers have not occurred or have not yet been publicly disclosed which would affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents described above.
