Downgrades in our credit ratings could reduce our access to funding sources in the credit and capital markets.

We are currently assigned a corporate credit rating from Standard & Poor’s based on its evaluation of our creditworthiness. Although our corporate credit rating from Standard & Poor’s is currently below investment grade, there can be no assurance that we will not be further downgraded. Credit rating reductions or other negative actions by one or more rating agencies could adversely affect our access to funding sources, the cost and other terms of obtaining funding as well as our overall financial condition, operating results and cash flow.
