Please refer to Moody’s Rating Symbols & Definitions, which is available at www.moodys.com, for the meaning of Moody’s rating(s). Moody’s monitoring of the rating is dependent upon receipt of all relevant information, financial or otherwise, from the issuer or its agents. Failure to submit such information in a timely manner may result in the withdrawal of the rating.

Credit ratings issued by Moody’s are Moody’s current opinions of the relative future credit risk of entities, credit commitments, or debt or debt-like securities and are not statements of current or historical fact. Moody’s credit ratings address credit risk only and do not address any other risk, including but not limited to: liquidity risk, market value risk, or price volatility. Moody’s credit ratings are not and do not provide investment advice or recommendations to purchase, sell, or hold particular securities. Moody’s issues its credit ratings with the expectation and understanding that each investor will make its own evaluation of each security that is under consideration for purchase, holding, or sale. Moody’s adopts all necessary measures so that the information it uses in assigning a credit rating is of sufficient quality and from sources Moody’s considers to be reliable including, when appropriate, independent third-party sources. However, Moody’s is not an auditor and cannot in every instance independently verify or validate information received in the rating process. Under no circumstances shall Moody’s have any liability to any person or entity for (a) any loss or damage in whole or in part caused by, resulting from, or relating to, any error (negligent or otherwise) or other circumstance or contingency within or outside the control of Moody’s or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents in connection with the procurement, collection, compilation, analysis, interpretation, communication, publication or delivery of any such information, or (b) any direct, indirect, special, consequential, compensatory or incidental damages whatsoever (including without limitation, lost profits), even if Moody’s is advised in advance of the possibility of such damages, resulting from the use of or inability to use, any such information. The assignment of a rating does not create a fiduciary relationship between Moody’s and you or between Moody’s and other recipients of the rating.
