Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Spin -Off and the Merger, page 72

1. We note the revisions to this section to reflect that the merger “should” qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. However, the forms of the opinion filed as Exhibits 8.1 and 8.2 continue to reflect that the merger “will” qualify as a reorganization. Please reconcile. In addition, please revise the disclosure in this section to provide a more de tailed discussion as to why counsel cannot give a “will” opinion and describe the degree of uncertainty in the opinion. For guidance, see Staff Legal Bulleting No. 19 at http://www.sec.gov/inter ps/legal/cfslb19.htm . In addition, once the executed opinions have been filed please revise this section to clearly reflect the opinion of counsel.
