In addition, before purchasing any security, please consult your legal and financial advisors for information about and analysis of the security, its risks and its suitability as an investment in your particular circumstances.

Except to the extent expressly stated otherwise on a Freddie Mac web site, Freddie Mac has no control over any such Third Party Services. In no event will Freddie Mac have any liability related to the Third Party Services.
