Index Factor Performance4   (As of 05/31/2008)

Source: BGI, Reuters 01/99-05/08 (based on daily returns).

The EUR/USD exchange rate is a foreign-exchange spot rate that measures the relative values of two currencies, the euro and the U.S. dollar. When the euro appreciates relative to the U.S. dollar, the EUR/USD exchange rate (and the value of the Securities) increases; when the euro depreciates relative to the U.S. dollar, the EUR/USD exchange rate (and the value of the Securities) decreases. The EUR/USD exchange rate is expressed as a rate that reflects the number of U.S. dollars that can be exchanged for one euro in the interbank market for settlement in two days, as reported each day shortly after 10:00 a.m. on Reuters page 1FED or any successor page.
