We have recently given Primary Contacts at our member firms the option of directing the legal opinions to a different individual at the firm. In the past the opinions were automatically sent to the Primary Contact even though another person at the institution may have been most interested in the opinions. For this reason, going forward the opinions and updates will be sent to the Legal Opinion Contacts at our member institutions. Where a Legal Opinion Contact was not designated by an institution, the Primary Contact will continue to receive the opinions and updates. Regional and Documentation Contacts have been notified that this volume of opinions has been distributed and of its availability from Legal Opinion Contacts electronically. ISDA is pleased to provide this new opinion delivery service to its members and we welcome any comments or questions you may have. If you encounter any problems accessing the documents from the ISDA web site please contact us by return e-mail or by telephone on 212 332 1200. Regards Robert Pickel General Counsel
