The ETNs are senior, unsecured obligations of BMO, and are

Investment suitability must be determined individually for each
investor, and the ETNs may not be suitable for all investors. This
information is not intended to provide and should not be relied
upon as providing accounting, legal, regulatory or tax advice.
Investors should consult with their own financial advisors as to
these matters.
The ETNs are not suitable for investors with longer-term
investment objectives. In particular, the ETNs should be purchased
only by sophisticated investors who do not intend to hold the ETNs
as a buy and hold investment, who are willing to actively and
continuously monitor their investment and who understand the
consequences of investing in and of seeking daily resetting
investment results, which are leveraged. The ETNs are intended to
be daily trading tools for sophisticated investors to manage daily
trading risks as part of an overall diversified portfolio. They are
designed to achieve their stated investment objectives on a daily
basis. The returns on the ETNs over longer periods of time can, and
most likely will, differ significantly from the return on a direct
