2 Ratings: The Notes to be issued have
been rated:
S&P: A
Moody's: Aa3
Fitch: A+
As defined by S&P, an obligation
rated 'A' is somewhat more susceptible
to the adverse effects of changes
in circumstances and economic
conditions than obligations
in higher-rated categories.
However, the obligor's capacity
to meet its financial commitments
on the obligation is still strong.
As defined by Moody's, obligations
rated 'Aa3' are judged to be
of high quality are subject
to very low credit risk. The
modifier "3" indicates a ranking
in the lower end of the 'Aa'
generic category.
As defined by Fitch, a rating
of 'A' denotes expecations of
low credit risk. The capacity
for payment of financial commitments
is considered strong. This capacity
may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable
to adverse business or economic
conditions than is the case
for higher ratings. The modifier
"+" indicates a ranking in the
higher end of the "A" rating
category.
3 Interests of Natural and Legal Persons Involved in the
Issue/Offer
Save as discussed in "Subscription and Sale/General Information",
so far as the Issuer is aware, no person involved in
