Dale,

I have discussed the wording with Rudy and agree that we could change the
wording in the Index long description for Gasoline, #2 and WTI as follows:

Old:

The Index for a month shall be the arithmetic average of the daily
settlement
prices for the prompt month NYMEX West Texas Intermediate Light, Sweet, Crude
Oil
futures contract for each NYMEX trading day of such month.

New:

The Index for a Determination Period shall be the arithmetic average of the
daily
settlement prices for the promptmonth NYMEX West Texas Intermediate Light,
Sweet,
Crude Oil futures contract for each NYMEX trading day of such Determination
Period.

Please run these changes past legal before proceeding. When your changes are
complete, please run the final version past Rudy as well. Please note that
all
Products which reference these Indexes will need the secret squirrel
treatment for
updating.

Niamh/Duncan: Please advise if you are happy for the above change to be
applied
to your products as well.

Thanks,

Dave
