damage arising where the relevant financial instrument is not the subject of a particular credit rating assigned
by MOODY’S.
To the extent permitted by law, MOODY’S and its directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives,
licensors and suppliers disclaim liability for any direct or compensatory losses or damages caused to any
person or entity, including but not limited to by any negligence (but excluding fraud, willful misconduct or any

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
Governance — Director and Shareholder Affiliation Policy.”
Additional terms for Australia only: Any publication into Australia of this document is pursuant to the Australian
Financial Services License of MOODY’S affiliate, Moody’s Investors Service Pty Limited ABN 61 003 399
657AFSL 336969 and/or Moody’s Analytics Australia Pty Ltd ABN 94 105 136 972 AFSL 383569 (as
applicable). This document is intended to be provided only to “wholesale clients” within the meaning of section
761G of the Corporations Act 2001. By continuing to access this document from within Australia, you
represent to MOODY’S that you are, or are accessing the document as a representative of, a “wholesale
client” and that neither you nor the entity you represent will directly or indirectly disseminate this document or
its contents to “retail clients” within the meaning of section 761G of the Corporations Act 2001.
MOODY’S credit rating is an opinion as to the creditworthiness of a debt obligation of the issuer, not on the
equity securities of the issuer or any form of security that is available to retail investors. It would be reckless
and 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.
