Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., a wholly-owned credit rating agency subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation

(“MCO”), hereby discloses that most issuers of debt securities (including corporate and municipal bonds,

debentures, notes and commercial paper) and preferred stock rated by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. have, prior to assignment of any rating, agreed to pay to Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. for appraisal and rating

services rendered by it fees ranging from $1,500 to approximately $2,500,000. MCO and MIS also maintain

policies and procedures to address the independence of MIS’s ratings and rating processes. Information

regarding certain affiliations that may exist between directors of MCO and rated entities, and between entities who hold ratings from MIS and have also publicly reported to the SEC an ownership interest in MCO of more

than 5%, is posted annually at www.moodys.com under the heading “Investor Relations — Corporate

inappropriate for retail investors to use MOODY’S credit ratings or publications when making an investment decision. If in doubt you should contact your financial or other professional adviser.

Additional terms for Japan only: Moody's Japan K.K. (“MJKK”) is a wholly-owned credit rating agency subsidiary of Moody's Group Japan G.K., which is wholly-owned by Moody’s Overseas Holdings Inc., a

wholly-owned subsidiary of MCO. Moody’s SF Japan K.K. (“MSFJ”) is a wholly-owned credit rating agency

subsidiary of MJKK. MSFJ is not a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”).

Therefore, credit ratings assigned by MSFJ are Non-NRSRO Credit Ratings. Non-NRSRO Credit Ratings are assigned by an entity that is not a NRSRO and, consequently, the rated obligation will not qualify for certain

types of treatment under U.S. laws. MJKK and MSFJ are credit rating agencies registered with the

Japan Financial Services Agency and their registration numbers are FSA Commissioner (Ratings) No. 2

and 3 respectively.

MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) hereby disclose that most issuers of debt securities (including corporate and

municipal bonds, debentures, notes and commercial paper) and preferred stock rated by MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) have, prior to assignment of any rating, agreed to pay to MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) for

appraisal and rating services rendered by it fees ranging from JPY200,000 to approximately

JPY350,000,000.

MJKK and MSFJ also maintain policies and procedures to address Japanese regulatory requirements.
