INVESTMENT RATING , The Notes have been rated "A1" by Moody's Investors Service. The City has supplied certain information and material concerning the Notes and the City to the rating service shown on the cover page as part of its application for an investment rating on the Notes. Generally, such rating service bases its rating on such information and material, and also on such investigations, studies and assumptions that it may undertake independently. There is no assurance that such rating will continue for any given period of time or that it may not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by such rating service if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward change in or withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the secondary market price of the Notes. The City and the Underwriter have undertaken no responsibility either to bring to the attention of the registered owners of the Notes any proposed change in or withdrawal of such rating or to oppose any such revision or withdrawal (other than to comply with any applicable continuing disclosure requirements). An explanation of the significance of investment ratings may be obtained from the rating agency: Moody's Investors Service, 99 Church Street, New York, New York 10007, telephone 212-553-0300. , UNDERWRITING The Notes were offered for sale by the City at a public, competitive sale on October 10, 2007.
