| Aaa |     | Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the highest quality, subject to the lowest level of credit risk.                                           |
| Aa  |     | Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.                                                       |
| A   |     | Obligations rated A are judged to be upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.                                                          |
| Baa |     | Obligations rated Baa are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics. |
| Ba  |     | Obligations rated Ba are judged to be speculative and are subject to substantial credit risk.                                                        |
| B   |     | Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk.                                                                  |
| Caa |     | Obligations rated Caa are judged to be speculative of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.                                        |
| Ca  |     | Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.      |
| C   |     | Obligations rated C are the lowest rated and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.                   |

| * | Note: Moody’s appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category. |
