Wyndham Worldwide 'BBB' Rating Put On Watch Negative

NEW YORK June 3, 2008--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services today placed its ratings for Wyndham Worldwide Corp., including the 'BBB' corporate credit rating, on CreditWatch with negative implications.


The CreditWatch listing follows Wyndham's announcement that it plans to purchase the economy-segment Microtel Inns & Suites and the mid-scale extended-stay Hawthorne Suites brands from a subsidiary of Global Hyatt Corp.

The purchase price was not disclosed. While the brand acquisitions are a good strategic fit for Wyndham, the announcement comes at a time when Wyndham's leverage profile (captive finance adjusted) is higher than our comfort level at the current rating level.

(That said, we expect the transaction to add only a modest amount to the company's leverage--and all by itself, the transaction would not lead to a potential downgrade.) Captive finance adjusted leverage was near 3x at March 2008, compared with appropriate levels for a 'BBB' rating in the mid-2x area.

We currently anticipate continued operating momentum in Wyndham's businesses and an increase in EBITDA in 2008. We will factor our expectation for operating performance, as well as how the company plans to use its balance sheet to achieve intermediate- and long-term growth objectives, into the resolution of the CreditWatch listing.

"In the event there is a downgrade, we expect that it would be limited to one notch," noted Standard & Poor's credit analyst Emile Courtney.

Terranova Corp. Signs the Bridal Company to a 10-year, 6,900-SF Lease Valued at Over $3.3M

MIAMI BEACH, FL – June 3, 2008 – Priscilla of Boston, a bridal company that has been around almost 60 years, is joining the growing list of national retail chains opening stores on Miracle Mile (top right photo)-- the signature street of downtown Coral Gables, known for designer and bridal shops, art galleries, restaurants and live theatre.

Terranova Executive Vice President, Mindy McIlroy represented the landlord in the 10 year, 6,900 square foot lease. This marks the first store for the retailer in the state. Priscilla of Boston will open its doors 4th quarter 2008 at 340 Miracle Mile, Coral Gables, FL.

Terranova Chairman Stephen Bittel had a vision that Miracle Mile would lend itself to becoming the next Lincoln Road with the acquisition of eight properties in October 2004 on the Mile totaling 79,751 square feet of retail space.

“Since the 1940s, Miracle Mile has been known as Coral Gables’ original retail shopping destination and we hope to continue that current evolution into a modern, stroll-and-shop urban street for the city’s fast-growing residential and daytime population by bringing in more national retail chains,” Bittel said.

Priscilla of Boston’s legacy that was started almost 60 years ago lives on in the quality and craftsmanship of each gown and the high level of service given to every customer at their salons.

Each collection combines the heritage of couture craftsmanship with modern, flattering silhouettes and sumptuous fabrics. Unique details and luxurious embellishments add an element of individual style and classic, timeless elegance.

Today, Priscilla of Boston brands offer an extensive selection of exclusive styles each season, which can be customized to suit each bride's preference.

Commercial/Multifamily Originations Lowest Since 2004

Originations for CMBS Show Biggest Drop

WASHINGTON, DC (June 3, 2008) - Commercial and multifamily mortgage bankers' loan originations fell on a year-over-year basis in the first quarter, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's (MBA) Quarterly Survey of Commercial/Multifamily Mortgage Bankers Originations.

First quarter originations were fifty-three percent lower than during the same period last year. The year-over-year decrease was seen across all property types and most investor groups.

"Three trends jump out from this quarter's figures: the impact of the credit crunch, a return from the extraordinary record origination volumes of 2005, 2006 and 2007 and strong variation between different investor groups," said Jamie Woodwell, (top right photo) MBA's Senior Director of Commercial/Multifamily Research.

"First quarter originations for the CMBS market were at their lowest since the survey began in 2001, originations for life companies and for banks and thrifts fell to levels last seen in 2004, and originations for the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac hit record highs for a first-quarter."

RealtyTrac's Rick Sharga to Speak on Foreclosure Legislation at USFN Default Servicing Conference

IRVINE, CA– Real estate expert Rick Sharga, (top right photo) vice president of marketing at RealtyTrac™ (http://www.realtytrac.com/), the leading online marketplace for foreclosure properties, will speak at the annual 2008 USFN National Default Servicing Seminar and Technology Forum on Friday, June 6, at the Grand Hyatt in San Antonio, Texas.

Sharga is slated to speak about the latest foreclosure prevention legislation at a 9:00 a.m. panel discussion titled “In the News: Current Issues Affecting Default Servicing Industry.”

“The housing slump — accompanied by a surge in foreclosures — in the midst of a presidential election year has pushed foreclosure prevention legislation to the top of many politicians’ priority lists,” Sharga said.

“The U.S. House and Senate both recently passed legislation aimed at providing relief to homeowners facing foreclosure, and many states have passed or proposed similar measures. Many of the laws being considered, or already enacted, could have a significant impact on the default servicing industry.

"In addition, the Executive Branch has also attempted to address the issue via programs such as HOPE NOW and FHA Secure, which are designed to provide lifelines to distressed homeowners.”

Trump Entertainment Rating Not Affected By Agreement To Sell Trump Marina

(Photo by Craig Allen of Getty Images)

NEW YORK, June 3, 2008--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said today that its rating and outlook on Trump Entertainment Resorts Holdings L.P. (B-/Negative/--) are unaffected by the company's recent announcement that it has entered into an agreement with Coastal Marina LLC to sell the Trump Marina Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, NJ.

(Donald J. Trump, chairman, Trump entertainment Resorts Holdings, is at top right photo.)

The sale price of $316 million is subject to potential adjustments around working capital and EBITDA performance prior to closing, and closing is subject to certain regulatory approvals.

Under the terms of the senior secured credit facility, which were amended in conjunction with the agreement to sell Trump Marina, the company is required to use the greater of $140 million or 50% of the aggregate net cash proceeds to acquire substitute collateral acceptable to the lenders within one year of the sale.

If acceptable substitute collateral has not been identified within one year, senior secured lenders may require the company to repay bank debt. We expect the other 50% of proceeds from the sale to remain on the balance sheet in the form of excess cash.
