excessive detail and is not consistent with Item 1.A of Industry Guide 5
or Section II.A.3.a of Release 33-6900. Please reconsider the
disclosure on the cover in its entirety and revise to remove excessive
text that obscures the ability of the reader to easily understand the key
aspects of the transaction and the risks associated with an
investment. The revised disclosure should be consistent in all
material respects with Rule 421(d) of Regulation
C.
