(b)  It is understood that the Agent will solicit offers to purchase the Certificates as follows:

This free writing prospectus is being delivered to you solely to provide you with information about the offering of the Certificates referred to in this free writing prospectus and to solicit an offer to purchase the Certificates, when, as and if issued. Any such offer to purchase made by you will not be accepted and will not constitute a contractual commitment by you to purchase any of the Certificates until your offer to purchase Certificates has been accepted. Any offer by you to purchase Certificates will not be accepted, and you will not have any contractual commitment to purchase any of the Certificates until after you have received the Definitive Free Writing Prospectus. You may withdraw your offer to purchase Certificates at any time prior to the acceptance of your offer.
