 | | As of January 31, 2006, the scheduled liquidation commencement dates for the existing $900 million of undivided co-ownership interests sold to the Trusts are March 31, 2006 (as to $400 million), January 31, 2007 (as to $300 million) and January 31, 2007 or later under certain circumstances (as to $200 million). |
 | | For so long as the securitization program continues, the Company indirectly benefits from the low funding costs incurred by the Trusts, which finance their ownership of undivided co-ownership interests by issuing highly rated commercial paper. |
 | | If the GE Money sale transaction was not completed for any reason and the securitization program continued on its current terms, the Trusts' undivided co-ownership interests would begin their scheduled liquidations as of January 31, 2007, or sooner, if the Company elected to liquidate some or all of such undivided co-ownership interests. |
