Norma triggered an event of default as a result of the class A overcollateralization ratio falling below 100% on March 10, 2008. Fitch received the Notice of Liquidation on Aug. 4, 2008 and the Notice of Status of Liquidation and Distribution on Oct. 6, 2008 stating that the liquidation of collateral was completed. The final distribution was made on Oct. 31, 2008. The proceeds from liquidation were insufficient to pay the Hedge Counterparties in full. Therefore, the rated notes did not receive any proceeds on the final distribution date.
Fitch's rating definitions and the terms of use of such ratings are available on the agency's public site,
