Rating	% of total Discounted Value of Eligible Portfolio Property allowed at each ratings level
Aa3/AA- or better	100%
Below Aa3/AA-	50%
Below A3/A-	25%

All references to the defined term identified above in the Charter will henceforth be interpreted in accordance with this Board determination. The terms of the AMPS and the rights of the beneficial owners of the AMPS are not changed by this Certificate of Notice.
