On April 11, 2012 the Trust received written confirmation from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services that the execution of the Transfer Agreement did not result in the withdrawal or downgrading of the rating of the securities of the Trust. In connection with the transfer of the Transferor’s rights, liabilities, duties and obligations under the Transferred Master Agreement to the Transferee, the collateral posting requirements previously Not applicable ~~to the Transferor (and which would otherwise now be applicable to the Transferee) have ceased to apply~~.

InSection ~~connection with the Transfer Agreement, Merrill Lynch & Co~~2., Financial Inc. (the “Guarantor”) issued a guarantee for the Trust’s benefit in which the Guarantor agreed to make any payment, or cause such payment to be made, to the Trust upon the Trust’s demand, due from the Transferor to the Trust under the terms of the Transferred Master Agreement.Information
