*An explanation of the significance of ratings may be obtained from the rating agencies. Generally,
rating agencies base their ratings on such material and information, and such of their own
investigations, studies and assumptions, as they deem appropriate. The rating of the debentures
should be evaluated independently from similar ratings of other securities. A credit rating of a
security is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to review,
revision, suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
