Rating of the Notes
The following table discloses the expected credit ratings assigned to, and the outlook for, the notes by the following rating agencies:
         
    Ratings for the   Outlook for the
Rating Agency   Notes   Notes
Moody’s.
  Baa3   Positive
S&P.
  BBB   Stable
Credit ratings are intended to provide investors with an independent measure of credit quality of any issue of securities. The credit ratings expected to be accorded to the notes by the rating agencies are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell the notes inasmuch as such ratings do not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor. There is no assurance that any rating will be granted or if granted remain in effect for any given period of time or that any such rating will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency in the future if in its judgment circumstances so warrant, and if any such rating is so revised or withdrawn, we are under no obligation to update this prospectus supplement.
Moody’s Investor Services, Inc.’s (“Moody’s”) credit ratings are on a long-term debt rating scale that ranges from Aaa to C, which represents the range from highest to lowest quality of such securities rated. According to the Moody’s rating system, debt securities rated Baa are subject to moderate risk. They are considered as medium-grade obligations and, as such, may possess certain speculative characteristics. Moody’s applies numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 in each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa in its corporate bond rating system. The modifier 1 indicates that the issue ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category, the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking and the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its generic rating category.
Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”) credit ratings are on a long-term debt rating scale that ranges from AAA to D, which represents the range from highest to lowest quality of such securities rated. According to the S&P rating system, debt securities rated BBB exhibit adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the securities. The ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (—) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.
