Delta has prepared and filed with the SEC a Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, dated June 28, 2010, which includes additional information regarding the Certificates.
A rating is not a recommendation to purchase, hold or sell the Certificates, and such rating does not address market price or suitability for a particular investor. There can be no assurance that the ratings assigned to the Certificates on the Issuance Date will not be lowered or withdrawn by one or more rating agencies.
The issuer has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) and a related prospectus supplement with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement, the prospectus supplement and other documents the issuer has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the issuer and this offering.
