SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY OR CREDIT SUPPORT. Issuers may employ various
forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters of
credit, guarantees, puts, and demand features, and insurance provided
by domestic or foreign entities such as banks and other financial
institutions. FMR may rely on its evaluation of the credit of the
liquidity or credit enhancement provider in determining whether to
purchase a security supported by such enhancement. In evaluating the
credit of a foreign bank or other foreign entities, FMR will consider
whether adequate public information about the entity is available and
whether the entity may be subject to unfavorable political or economic
developments, currency controls, or other government restrictions that
might affect its ability to honor its commitment. Changes in the
credit quality of the entity providing the enhancement could affect
