As of December 31, 2010, the auction rate securities, which had a par value of $145 million, were variable-
rate debt instruments with contractual maturities generally greater than ten years and whose interest rates are
reset every 7, 28 or 35 days, depending on the terms of the particular instrument. These securities are secured by
pools of student loans guaranteed by state-designated guaranty agencies and reinsured by the U.S.
government. All of the auction rate securities Continental holds are senior obligations under the applicable
indentures authorizing the issuance of the securities. Auctions for these securities began failing in the first quarter
of 2008 and have continued to fail, resulting in Continental holding such securities and the issuers of these
securities paying interest adjusted to the maximum contractual rates.
