Which Have Materially Reduced the Likelihood of a Liquidity Event in the Financial Markets
+ Discount window will now be extended to include primary dealers (20 large, non-bank broker I dealers)
+ There is no limit on the amount of money that can be borrowed
+ The Fed will accept a wide range of investment grade collateral- including, but not limited to ABS, CP, convertible bonds, munis, and private label CMOs
+ For difficult to finance products, the haircuts are quite generous compared to current market margin levels
+ The rate charged will be 25 bp over Fed Funds
+ The new program is for overnight funding- but it is assumed to be renewable daily using the same collateral
+ Should help prevent forced liquidations

The Drop in Synthetic CDO Issuance Will Result in a Further Decrease in Demand for Credit Risk
+ We expect Synthetic COO Issuance to decline by approximately 60% in 2008 due a combination of limited investor confidence in structured products and rating agency models
+ A 60% drop in issuance and decreased leverage on new deals would result in approximately a $290bn drop in 5year equivalent notional demand for risk

In Addition, Corporate Credit has not Cheapened as Much as Some Other Spread Sectors. As the De leveraging Continues we Believe Spreads Will Need to Remain at Levels That Deliver Attractive Returns Even at No or Low Leverage

We Remain Generally Bearish on Investment Grade Credit Despite Current Valuations. However, this has Become a More Bifurcated View.
High quality financials, especially money center banks and brokers, have seen significant widening and provide attractive value at these levels. We remain cautious on independents and regional banks due to ongoing asset quality concerns

In High Yield, the Default Cycle will be Unique as we are Coming Off of a Period of Lenient Lending Standards. A Combination of a Worse Credit Profile and Increased Issuer Flexibility will Likely Lead to Lower Recoveries for Unsecured Bonds.

CLO
Primarily high yield corporate
senior secured loans
Highly diversified, typically 150-200 issuers across different sectors
"Structured finance buckets" are capped at 3-5% - Managers rarely use more than
1-2%
Rating agencies require more par subordination for HY collateral ( ~8% equity)
Waterfall structure diverts cashflow to senior holders if coverage tests fail
Caa/CCC assets in excess of 5. 0-7.5% are carried at market value for OC purposes (typical
size is 0-2% now
Higher excess interest means faster deleveraging in the event of an OC breach
Almost all are actively managed
Simpler

FOIA CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY LEHMAN BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC.
ABSCDO
Primarily HELs
Concentrated in
residential real estate, consumer risks
10 to 3 0+% of portfolio consist of other AB S CDO tranches
Rating agencies require less par subordination for IG collateral (<1% for HG and ~5% for
Mezz eguity) Transactions from 2006 were increasingly
without triggers
OC haircuts kick in when downgrades to BB and B are in excess
Very slow deleveraging, especially with HG
assets
Some are static or partially managed
Complex (re-securitization)

โข Deteriorating macro backdrop combined with a large demand I supply imbalance should prevent spreads from rallying materially
โข Aggressive central bank action should lead to liquidity normalization in the intermediate term, but underlying asset quality issues will remain
โข Ability of spreads to rally will be a function of the amount of economic damage done by the credit crunch
