NO RATING IMPACT ON THE FOLLOWING ABCP PROGRAMS DURING THE PERIOD NOVEMBER 20, 2012 THROUGH NOVEMBER 26, 2012:

Moody's has reviewed the following ABCP programs in conjunction with the proposed amendments. The amendments, in and of themselves and at this time, will not result in any rating impact on the respective programs. For the mentioned programs, Moody's believes that the amendments do not have an adverse effect on the credit quality of the securities such that the Moody's ratings are impacted. Moody's does not express an opinion as to whether the amendment could have other, non-credit-related effects.

SYNDICATE OF ABCP CONDUITS AMEND EXISTING EQUIPMENT LOAN FACILITY

A syndicate of banks has amended a revolving equipment loan facility. The two material amendments include (i) increasing the facility size to $3 billion and (ii) reducing the overcollateralization to 4.5%, which is a 1.5% reduction. Transaction-specific credit enhancement is in the form of overcollateralization and a cash reserve, combined totaling at least 6%. This transaction is financed by ten ABCP conduits and one non-conduit lender.

The liquidity facility for each participating conduit is sized at 100% (plus all CP interest) or 102% of its respective commitment.

The following Prime-1 (sf)-rated ABCP conduits participate in the facility:

o Royal Bank of Canada'sOld Line Funding, LLC and Thunder Bay Funding, LLC have combined commitments of $650 million and their program-level credit enhancement increased by 10% of outstanding ABCP.

o HSBC's Regency Markets No.1 LLC / Regency Assets Ltd. has a $450 million commitment and its program-level credit enhancement increased by 5% of this commitment level.

o Barclays Capital'sSalisbury Receivables Company, LLC has a $350 million interest and its program-level credit enhancement increased by 10% of outstanding ABCP.

o Citibank's CRC Funding, LLC, CAFCO Funding, LLC, CHARTA, LLC and CIESCO Funding, LLC have combined commitments of $300 million. CIESCO and CAFCO's program-level credit enhancement increased by 8% of outstanding ABCP, while CRC and CHARTA's program support increased by 10% of outstanding ABCP.

o The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ'sGotham Funding Corp. has a $350 million commitment. Gotham is a fully supported conduit and does not have program-level credit enhancement.

o Deutsche Bank'sSaratoga Funding Corp., LLC, has a $250 million commitment and their program-level credit enhancement increased by 8% of outstanding ABCP.

One non-conduit lender provides the remaining commitments.

HSBC'S REGENCY ADDS CANADIAN TRADE RECEIVABLE TRANSACTION

Regency Assets Ltd/Regency Markets No.1 LLC ("Regency"), a partially supported, multiseller conduit sponsored by HSBC Bank Plc ("HSBC", Aa3/Prime-1/C) has added a C$190 million partially supported Canadian trade receivable transaction.

The receivables are originated by subsidiaries of a Ba2-rated global electronics distribution group. Transaction specific credit enhancement is comprised of a loss reserve with a floor of 10% and a dilution reserve. Total credit enhancement is approximately 20%.

The liquidity facility is sized at 102% of Regency's commitment and does not cover defaulted receivables.

Regency's programme-level credit enhancement was increased by 5% of the transaction size. Regency has approval to issue ABCP up to transaction limits which aggregate to USD11.0 billion and has USD183 million in programme-level credit enhancement.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was "Moody's Approach to Rating Asset-Backed Commercial Paper" published in May 2012. Please see the Credit Policy page on www.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.

Moody's monitors and analyzes ABCP programs on an ongoing basis. A detailed description of each program is published in the ABCP Program Review.
