Announcement:

CORRECTION TO TEXT, JULY 28, 2010 RELEASE: Moody's has placed on Watchlist for possible downgrade the ratings of the U.S. Bank National Association-backed letter of credit-backed transactions that utilize the joint support methodology

27 Sep 2010

New York, September 27, 2010 -- SUMMARY OF CORRECTION

Revised list of affected transactions listed below. Michigan State Hospital Finance Authority Revenue Bonds Ser. 2007 has been removed from the original list. This transaction was not supported by a U.S. Bank National Association- backed letter of credit. Revised release below.

OPINION

As a result of Moody's recent rating action which placed the long-term and short-term other senior obligation ratings of U.S. Bank National Association on Watchlist for possible downgrade, Moody's has placed on Watchlist for possible downgrade the ratings of the U.S. Bank National Association-backed letter of credit-backed transactions that utilize the joint support methodology. Please see the list of affected transactions below.

The long-term rating on these transactions reflects Moody's approach to rating jointly supported transactions and takes into account (i) the long-term other senior obligation (OSO) rating of U.S. Bank National Association (the Bank) as letter of credit provider, (ii) the underlying rating assigned to the borrower, (iii) the structure and legal protections of the transaction, which ensures timely debt service payments to investors; and (iv) the default correlation/dependence between the letter of credit provider and the borrower. The short-term rating of the Bonds is based solely upon the short-term OSO rating of the Bank as provider of the LOC.

WHAT COULD CHANGE THE RATING--UP

Long-term: The long-term rating on the bonds could be raised if the long term other senior obligation (OSO) rating on the Bank or the long-term rating of the underlying security was upgraded, or if there is a decrease in the default correlation/dependence level between the Bank and borrower (N/A for Aaa rated transactions)

Short-term: The short-term rating on the bonds would be raised if the short-term other senior obligation (OSO) rating on the Bank was upgraded (N/A for VMIG 1)

WHAT COULD CHANGE THE RATING--DOWN

Long-Term: The long-term rating on the bonds could be lowered if the long term other senior obligation (OSO) rating on the Bank or the long-term rating of the underlying security was downgraded, or if there is an increase in the default correlation/dependence level between the Bank and borrower.

Short-term: The short-term rating on the bonds would be lowered if the short-term other senior obligation (OSO) rating on the Bank was downgraded.

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 credit rating, agreed to pay to Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. for credit ratings opinions and services rendered by it fees ranging from $1,000 to approximately $5,000,000. MCO and Moody’s Investors Service also maintain policies and procedures to address the independence of Moody’s Investors Service credit ratings and credit rating processes. Information regarding certain affiliations that may exist between directors of MCO and rated entities, and between entities who hold credit ratings from Moody’s Investors Service 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).

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”).

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 credit rating, agreed to pay to MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) for credit ratings opinions and services rendered by it fees ranging from JPY100,000 to approximately JPY550,000,000.
