Fitch believes that concern regarding this litigationis offset by the fact that the payment of the PILOT by the Carousel Owner isabsolute and unconditional, notwithstanding the inability of the Carousel Ownerto recover this payment from its tenants. Some of the mall’s tenants have recently terminated their leases as a result oftheir respective bankruptcy filings and several others are currently delinquentin their PILOT payments. It is envisioned that bonds issuedto fund future expansions will be separately secured by PILOTs on other portionsof the Carousel Center, which will constitute separate tax parcels, and will notbe owned by the Carousel Owner. The bonds are secured by a PILOT payable to SIDA by the Carousel Owner,pursuant to a PILOT Agreement, and interest earnings on the debt servicereserve.
PILOT mortgages granted by the Carousel Owner and SIDA impose a liensimilar to liens imposed by taxing authorities, and provide for similarremedies, i.e., foreclosure of property and tax lien sale. The obligation of theCarousel Owner to pay the PILOT is on par only with governmental charges andfees, all of which are senior to any other payment obligations, including debtservice to any other lenders, operations and maintenance and any distributionsto the Carousel Owner. The interestearnings on the GIC (projected to yield approximately 4.9% annually) combinedwith the annual PILOT payments described below provided 1.0 times (x) debtservice coverage on the bonds. The issuance of parity bonds requires an increase in thePILOT equal to the additional debt service. The bond proceeds were used to fund an expansion project at the Carousel CenterMall.

The Negative Watch is expected to be resolved in the nearterm pending the receipt and analysis of additional information from the issuer.The Negative Watch reflects the dramatic decline in expected pledged interestearnings on the series A reserve fund as a result of the termination of aguaranteed investment contract (GIC) entered into at the time of closing on thebonds with XL Asset Funding Company LLC (XL) and the limited financialflexibility to offset the lost earnings in the current market.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 12, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NASDAQ OMX Nordic, part ofThe NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:NDAQ), today announces that its centralcounterparty clearing (CCP) service partners EMCF, EuroCCP and SIX x-clear haveagreed to achieve interoperability by January 29th 2010. Interoperabilitybetween the CCP parties allows members at NASDAQ OMX Nordic exchanges tointeract with multiple clearing houses to clear and settle their trades.Today NASDAQ OMX offers optional CCP on its Nordic markets through EMCF, andwill on October 9th, 2009, introduce mandatory CCP clearing (subject toregulatory approvals). In May 2009 NASDAQ OMX entered agreements with CCPclearing service providers SIX x-clear and EuroCCP in order to support acompetitive clearing model on its Nordic markets.Hans-Ole Jochumsen, President of NASDAQ OMX Nordic said, “We are enthusiasticabout the determination among our CCP partners to accomplish interoperabilityand we are confident that a competitive CCP model will act to drive liquidityand lower investor costs. This agreed-upon timeline will allow NASDAQ OMX Nordicto go from bilateral to competitive clearing in only 16 months, making us thefirst regulated market to offer CCP with a choice of three different serviceproviders.”Commenting on the announcement, Jan Booij, Chief Executive Officer of EMCF said,”We look forward to offering the Nordic community a true interoperability modelwith three CCP’s involved.
This initiative can truly be seen as a milestone inEurope since the implementation of MIFiD and we trust it will encourage otherEuropean Exchanges to offer a similar model to their members.”Marco Strimer, Chief Executive Officer of SIX x-clear said, “We will continue towork with NASDAQ OMX and the other partners to create choice of CCP’s in theNordic market and allow a pain-free transition for members that wish to changeCCP service provider. We look forward to helping the market grow through ourrole of CCP for risk management, efficiency and innovation.”Diana Chan, Chief Executive Officer of EuroCCP, said, “EuroCCP is pleased to bemoving forward with NASDAQ OMX and fellow clearing firms EMCF and SIX x-clear toestablish CCP interoperability in the Nordic markets. NASDAQ OMX Nordic clientswill benefit from having a truly competitive choice of clearers, and EuroCCPlooks forward to helping to deliver this important initiative.”Central Counterparty Clearing and InteroperabilityCentral counterparty clearing involves the legal transfer of obligations to acentral counterparty, which becomes the buyer to the seller and the seller tothe buyer. With the CCP counterparty risk — or the risk that one party to atrade suffers losses because the other party cannot fulfill its obligations –is mitigated.Interoperability between clearing houses allows market participants to choosethe CCP they prefer to use, increasing competition and lowering investor costs.CCP interoperability also enables cross netting of trades for firms that use thesame CCP for transactions executed on different trading venues, which providessignificant cost savings from lower margin requirements, fewer settlements, andsimpler operations.The availability of CCP services from SIX x-clear and EuroCCP on NASDAQ OMXNordic markets, on January 29th is conditional on FSA approval ofInteroperability Agreements between EMCF and SIX x-clear and EuroCCP.
