LifeLock Headquarters Moving to Award-Winning Hayden Ferry Lakeside Office Tower II

ID Theft Prevention Leader Becomes Largest Tenant in Tempe Office Complex

TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LifeLock, one of the fastest growing private businesses in Arizona, has risen to the top as the industry leader in identity theft prevention, and is moving its corporate headquarters into the award-winning Hayden Ferry Lakeside Office Tower II in Tempe.

LifeLock has signed a six-year lease to become the largest office tenant at Hayden Ferry Lakeside. The company’s new headquarters will occupy two floors of Hayden Ferry Lakeside Office Tower II, representing more than 51,000-square feet of the newest Class “A” space overlooking Tempe Town Lake.

The new 12-story, 300,000-square foot office tower, completed in February of this year, is the second office building to open at Hayden Ferry Lakeside, a nationally acclaimed mixed-use development built by Tempe-based SunCor Development Company.

LifeLock’s headquarters office has been located in south Tempe since last November. As the company grew with more than 125,000 new clients in 2007, officials at LifeLock began searching for office space that would allow room for additional growth, meet its high-security needs and provide employees with a first-class work environment.

The company is targeting a November 1 move-in date to occupy one floor and expects to take up to a year to occupy a second floor in the office tower.

“We were committed to staying in Tempe due to its centralized location, premium office space, and close proximity to Arizona State University,” said LifeLock CEO Todd Davis.

“At LifeLock we preach best of breed practices and the working environment plays a tremendous part in achieving this goal. Since more than 80 percent of our working hours are spent in the office, we needed to create a work environment that will inspire our employees. From the office furniture to the lunch room, our objective is to provide an environment that will empower our employees to be successful in communicating our commitment to world-class customer satisfaction," Davis added.

Among other local and national awards it has received for design excellence, Hayden Ferry Lakeside Office Tower II is the recipient of the 2007 Gold Nugget Grand Award as the Best Office/Professional Building of the Year. This prestigious honor was presented in May by the California Building Industry Association at its Pacific Coast Builders Conference in San Francisco.

Some 102,000-square feet of space in Hayden Ferry Lakeside Office Tower II—more than one third of the building—was leased to five tenants before the structure was completed.

Tenants already doing business in the building include Regus/HQ, which moved in February; accounting firm KPMG which occupied its space in April; and DFD CornoyerHedrick, the architectural firm that designed Hayden Ferry Lakeside and will be moving into the building later this year.

Other tenants that have committed to leasing space in Hayden Ferry Lakeside Office Tower II include the headquarters office for Verdict Systems and regional offices for Care Level Management Medical Group and Ayers Saint Gross, Inc.

“With the commitment from LifeLock, only a fraction of the office space in the building remains available for lease,” says Tom Knoell, project manager for commercial development at SunCor. “We’re leasing commercial space in our Office Tower II more quickly than our original projections. Tenants are telling us that the space here is a great value.”

Background about Hayden Ferry Lakeside Office Tower II

Provides the latest technology in telecommunications infrastructure, acoustic engineering to minimize noise penetration, a high-efficiency building envelope, special interior lighting for computerized workspaces, a flexible and efficient floor plan, and extra floor-load capabilities.
Provides executive parking beneath the office tower – approximately 150 spaces.
Groundbreaking took place in August 2005, and construction was completed on schedule; the building received its letter of compliance from the City of Tempe on February 1, 2007.
Hayden Ferry Lakeside is a mixed-use project with plans approved by the City of Tempe for 1.95 million square feet of office, retail and residential space, and the only Le Meridien Hotel in Arizona.
Plaza level retail space is still available.

Fitch Rates FHAMS $411.57MM Mtge P-T Ctfs, Series 2007-FA4

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fitch rates First Horizon Alternative Mortgage Securities Trust (FHAMS) mortgage pass-through certificates, Series 2007-FA4 as follows:

--$388,225,210 classes I-A-1 through I-A-14, I-A-PO, I-A-R, II-A-1 and II-A-PO certificates (senior certificates) 'AAA';

--$13,009,000 class B-1 'AA';

--$4,130,000 class B-2 'A';

--$2,685,000 class B-3 'BBB';

--$2,065,000 privately offered class B-4 'BB';

--$1,455,000 privately offered class B-5 'B';

The 'AAA' rating on the senior certificates reflects the 6.00% subordination provided by the 3.15% Class B-1, the 1.00% Class B-2, the 0.65% Class B-3, the 0.50% privately offered Class B-4, the 0.35% privately offered Class B-5, and the 0.35% privately offered Class B-6 (not rated by Fitch).

Fitch believes the above credit enhancement will be adequate to support mortgagor defaults as well as bankruptcy, fraud and special hazard losses in limited amounts. In addition, the ratings reflect the quality of the mortgage collateral, strength of the legal and financial structures, and the servicing capabilities of First Horizon Home Loan Corporation, currently rated 'RPS2' by Fitch Ratings.

Substantially all of the mortgage loans were underwritten to First Horizon's 'Super Expanded Underwriting Guidelines'. These guidelines are less stringent than First Horizon's general underwriting guidelines and could include limited documentation, higher loan-to-value ratios and lower FICO scores. Mortgage loans underwritten to the 'Super Expanded Underwriting Guidelines' could experience higher rates of default and losses than loans underwritten using First Horizon's general underwriting guidelines.

The certificates represent ownership interests in a trust fund that consists of two cross-collateralized pools of mortgages. The senior certificates whose class designation begins with I, and II correspond to Pools I, and II, respectively. Each of the senior certificates generally receives distributions based on principal and interest collected from mortgage loans in its corresponding mortgage pool. If on any distribution date a pool is under-collateralized and borrower payments from the underlying loans are insufficient to pay senior certificate principal and interest, borrower payments from the other pools that would have been distributed to the subordinate certificates will instead be distributed as principal and interest to the under-collateralized group's senior certificates. The subordinate certificates will only receive principal and/or interest distributions after all the senior certificates receive all their required principal and interest distributions.

As of the cut-off date, June, 1st, 2007, the aggregate Pool consists of conventional, fully amortizing, fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on single-family residential properties, substantially all of which (96.85%) have original terms to maturity of 30 years. Approximately 33.33% of the mortgage loans in the aggregate pool have interest only payments scheduled for a period of ten years following the origination date of the mortgage loan. Thereafter, monthly payments will be increased to include principal and interest payments to sufficiently amortize the loan over the remaining term. The aggregate principal balance of the pool is $413,005,657 and the average principal balance is approximately $253,689. The mortgage pool has a weighted average original loan-to-value ratio (OLTV) of 72.27% and the weighted average FICO is 716. Rate/Term and cash-out refinance loans account for 13.99% and 41.41% of the pool, respectively. Second homes represent 5.41% of the pool, and investor occupancies represent 26.29% of the pool. The states with the largest concentrations are California (15.93%), Washington (7.80%), Arizona (7.69%), Maryland (6.34%) and Utah (5.68%). All other states represent less than 5% of the aggregate pool as of the cut-off date.

None of the mortgage loans are 'high cost' loans as defined under any local, state or federal laws. For additional information on Fitch's rating criteria regarding predatory lending legislation, please see the press release issued May 1, 2003 entitled "Fitch Revises Rating Criteria in Wake of Predatory Lending Legislation", available on the Fitch Ratings web site at www.fitchratings.com.

The trust, First Horizon Alternative Mortgage Securities Trust 2007-FA4, was created for the sole purpose of issuing the certificates. For federal income tax purposes, an election will be held to treat the trust as multiple real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs). The Bank of New York will act as trustee.

Fitch's rating definitions and the terms of use of such ratings are available on the agency's public site, www.fitchratings.com. Published ratings, criteria and methodologies are available from this site, at all times. Fitch's code of conduct, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, affiliate firewall, compliance and other relevant policies and procedures are also available from the 'Code of Conduct' section of this site.

As we speak, hundreds of Mexicans are preparing for the pre-launch of ForeverGreen Mexico.

Amplifiers and Antennas Extend Signal Range in Cars, Trucks, RVs and Boats

ST. GEORGE, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--It’s “summertime, and the livin’ is easy,” as the classic Gershwin song reminds us. What’s not so easy sometimes is using your cell phone when you’re taking the family on that cross-country road trip or motoring across the lake in your boat. Poor signal reception can put a real dent in your travels when you want to call ahead to find a motel in Miami or see if those cousins in Corpus Christi are home. And, the inability to use your cell phone becomes more than an inconvenience when you’re faced with an emergency situation such as a breakdown or an accident. Fortunately, Wilson Electronics has a solution and offers a full line of cellular amplifiers and antennas that significantly improve cell phone performance and extend battery life in all sorts of mobile applications.

For travelers on the open road, Wilson offers more than 10 different amplifiers, each designed to provide reliable cellular signal improvement in cars, trucks, RVs and other vehicles. Users can choose from single- or dual-band models, depending on their service provider and frequency. They also have their choice between direct-connection amplifiers, which use a cable/adapter connection to the cell phone, or wireless models that allow for more freedom of movement and enable multiple users to connect simultaneously. Wilson mobile amplifiers can increase cellular signals 10 to 15 times and are as useful in marine craft as they are in vehicles.

With up to 10 times more power than a cell phone alone, Wilson amplifiers feature advanced electronics that are very sensitive and able to receive faint signals that would go undetected by most cell phones. Using up to three full watts of power, they are also designed with sophisticated Smart TechnologyTM to prevent oscillation and signal overload, thus protecting carrier cell sites from harmful interference.

To complement its line of powerful signal amplifiers, Wilson offers more than a dozen mobile antennas that allow users to customize a system to their specific needs and preferences.

For example, an RV enthusiast might choose a dual-band wireless amplifier and combine it with Wilson’s new RV/Trucker Spring-Mount Antenna to capture the signal from the cell tower, along with a dual-band dome antenna to broadcast that signal wirelessly throughout the RV. A boater, on the other hand, might select a direct-connection amplifier and connect it to Wilson’s new weatherproof Marine Antenna.

For “plug and play” simplicity, Wilson offers its SignalBoostTM Mobile kit, which includes a dual-band amplifier for both Cellular and PCS frequencies, a mini-magnet antenna that mounts easily to any metal roof, and a universal connector that attaches to any cell phone or data card – no adapter is needed.

From cars to cabin cruisers, and everything in between, Wilson offers a wide range of signal improvement solutions for anyone on the go. With a Wilson amplifier/antenna system in place, motorists and boaters will enjoy fewer dropped calls and improved signal quality (for both cell phones and laptop data cards). And that makes for easier livin’ in any season.

Wilson Electronics products are available through authorized dealers in all 50 states and in countries around the world. More information, including product details and dealer locations, is available on the company’s website: www.wilsonelectronics.com or by calling Wilson Electronics at

mediaFORGE Launches Political Fund-Raising Technology Tool
mediaFORGE Employs Its Proprietary Technology to Increase Online Campaign Exposure for ’08 Races

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--mediaFORGE, a leading provider of media-rich, viral Web-based sales and marketing tools, has announced the launch of the Political Solutions Wrap™, a tool designed to help political candidates and causes raise money, increase online campaign exposure and recruit supporters during the '08 campaign season.

With the 2008 election season in full swing nearly 18 months before Election Day, the importance of powerful, viral communication has only become more important to candidates. This election will be one of the first in which the messaging, recruiting and fund-raising will largely be impacted by online campaigns and the development of new technology to improve standing and visibility of the candidate.

“In '08, a campaign will rise or fall based on optimum exposure online,” said Tricia McGarry, vice president of business development at mediaFORGE. “Already, you are seeing videos on YouTube, blogs and MySpace pages influencing the public perception. Even mainstream media acknowledges this, with last week’s partnership announcement between CNN and YouTube. Through viral media and information sharing, optimized through our Wrap technology, candidates are now able to reach out to a much broader audience, already connected to key supporters.”

The Political Solutions Wrap technology provides campaigns a unique opportunity to provide an online tool for managing and promoting various recruiting and fundraising efforts while also allowing clips from debates, interviews and appearances to be embedded into one place.

“With the adoption of this new technology, we can see where the direction of information sharing is headed,” said McGarry. “Through viral media sharing, candidates are now able to reach out to a much broader audience. Where before candidates would mobilize people to go door-to-door to raise money, the Wrap technology now lets supporters conduct their own online campaigns for their candidate of choice.”

The mediaFORGE Wrap provides pre-packaged, portable content to a specific audience, allowing messaging, images or media-rich content to be shared repeatedly among a community. The Wrap™ technology also includes a robust online dashboard that allows easy content management and access to detailed statistical and analytical data, as well as the ability to conduct and track fund-raising efforts, even as the Wrap is passed from one person to another.

5 States Get Planning Grants for State Literacy Programs from National Association of State Boards of Education

ALEXANDRIA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The National Association of State Boards of Education is awarding planning grants to five states for the development of comprehensive state literacy initiatives. The Connecticut, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Utah, and West Virginia State Boards of Education will each receive $15,000 one-year grants to help guide state leadership efforts in inserting literacy strategies into core academic subjects and as part of the states’ overall school improvement activities. The funding comes from NASBE’s Adolescent Literacy Network and supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

“We are pleased to support the leadership of these five state boards of education in making literacy instruction a coordinated set of state policies spanning all programs and academic subjects in school. Their success will help other states develop similar solutions for this deficit in student learning,” said Brenda Welburn, NASBE Executive Director.

The year-long project will require states to commit to establishing ongoing collaborative partnerships and develop and implement a work plan that integrates improvements in literacy performance with school improvement efforts. It requires broad attention to the problems of connecting policy to practice and to the demands for systematic investments in the training and professional development of teachers.

The grants will support the design and implementation of state plans to improve adolescent literacy achievement which adhere to the recommendations put forth in the NASBE 2005 report, Reading at Risk: The State Response to the Crisis in Adolescent Literacy, and the 2007 publication, From State Policy to Classroom Practice: Improving Literacy Instruction for All Students. The recommendations urge states to base their decisions on a clear understanding of what needs to take place at the instructional core—the relationships between teachers and students around the content to be learned.

According to the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP), approximately two-thirds of 8th- and 12th-graders read below the proficient level. For minority students—only 13 percent of African Americans, 16 percent of Latinos, and 17 percent of Native Americans are reading at or above proficient level. Overall, nearly half of African American and Latino 8th-graders read below basic level.

Carnegie Corporation of New York was created by Andrew Carnegie in 1911 to promote “the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding.” Advancing Literacy is a relatively new subprogram of the Education Division aimed at advancing literacy by affecting policy, practice, and research.

NASBE represents America’s state and territorial boards of education. Its principal objectives are to strengthen state leadership in education policymaking; advocate equality of access to educational opportunity; promote excellence in the education of all students; and assure responsible lay governance of education.

Transaction Builds on HM Capital’s Success in Directories Sector

Michael Bynum to Become Chief Executive Officer

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HM Capital Partners LLC, a leading, Dallas-based private equity firm, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Phone Directories Company, LP (“PDC”), one of the largest independent providers of yellow page directories in North America. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Headquartered in Orem, Utah, PDC has been in the directories publishing business for more than 37 years and publishes directories in 137 markets across the Western and Midwestern United States, distributing more than eight million copies.

PDC is HM Capital’s third investment in the directories category. Its two previous, successful investments were the acquisition of Yell from British Telecom in 2001 and the acquisition of Phone Directories Canada (renamed Canpages) from PDC in December 2005.

Michael K. Bynum will become Chief Executive Officer of PDC upon completion of the transaction. Mr. Bynum was one of the founders of Transwestern Publishing and was its Executive Vice President of Sales from 1993 to 2003, during which time Transwestern grew revenues from approximately $30 million to approximately $300 million. Mr. Bynum brings decades of experience in launching, growing and managing independent directories throughout the United States.

Peter S. Brodsky, a Partner of HM Capital, said: “The acquisition of PDC builds on our firm’s long and successful history in the directories sector and the media industry in general. PDC has built a strong leadership position in its markets and is currently engaged in a number of impressive growth initiatives. We are looking forward to implementing our proven change capital strategies to support the company’s continued growth, offer quality products to the company’s existing markets and new underserved ones, and deliver value for our investors.

“We are delighted that Mike Bynum is our partner in this investment. We believe he is the ideal executive to help us achieve our objectives for PDC,” Mr. Brodsky said.

Mr. Bynum said: “PDC is an excellent directories platform with a wide range of growth opportunities, including geographic and product expansion, as well as acquisitions. This is an ideal opportunity to utilize my two decades of experience to take a well-positioned directories company to the next stage of its development. I look forward to partnering with HM Capital and tapping into its deep sector experience to achieve our shared vision for PDC.”

Marc Bingham, the founder and current owner of PDC, said: “I was pleased when HM Capital and Mike Bynum approached me to explore an acquisition of PDC. Having worked with HM Capital in the sale of our Canadian operations in 2005, I have tremendous respect for their industry knowledge and expertise and their ability to create value for multiple stakeholders. Mike has a sterling reputation in the directories industry and will bring terrific energy and expertise to PDC. I am confident that HM Capital and Mike will be responsible and successful stewards of PDC who will create positive opportunities for our employees and the communities we serve.”

The acquisition of PDC is the first investment by HM Capital’s Sector Performance Fund L.P.

Completion of the transaction, which is expected in July, is subject to customary closing conditions.

Signal Hill Capital Group LLC is serving as financial advisor to PDC in connection with the transaction. Venable LLP, of Washington, DC, served as legal counsel for PDC in connection with the transaction. Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP acted as legal counsel to HM Capital in connection with the transaction.

Noetix Named an Innovative Data Discovery Accelerator in Independent Research Firm’s Business Intelligence Report

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Noetix® Corp., a software provider that automatically generates business intelligence (BI) content from enterprise applications, today announced that Forrester Research, a leading independent technology and market research company, has published research naming Noetix an innovative provider of automated data discovery capabilities.

The June 2007 report, “Continued Innovation in BI: Data Discovery Accelerators,” by Boris Evelson with Connie Moore, Rob Karel, and J. Paul Kirby, states:

“Before an extract, transform, load (ETL) developer accesses specific tables and columns and kicks off the ETL design process, somebody needs to inform that developer where to find the appropriate data in the first place,” wrote Boris Evelson, principal analyst, BI, at Forrester Research. “This data mapping exercise, as some call it, is a pre-ETL step that remains a largely manual and time-consuming process. Business analysts typically use simple SQL query tools to analyze the data, load it into spreadsheets, and create requirements and rules for ETL developers. For a large, complex, and heterogeneous enterprise that most probably has gone through multiple mergers and acquisitions, the data mapping task is huge. Data discovery and integration steps still take anywhere between 50 to 80 percent of any BI effort.”

The core value of the Noetix solution is simplified access to operational data. Using patent-pending technology, Noetix automatically discovers the site-specific setups within an enterprise application, deciphers the maze of database structures, and joins the proper tables together. This process transforms complex data structures into recognizable information that can be easily used by non-technical employees to quickly create ad hoc BI reports.

Noetix customer Deseret Power experienced the pain involved in the data mapping exercise during a period of six months when the IT team worked to create customized BI reports for the company’s end users.

“Using Noetix, the Deseret Power IT team has immediate access to hundreds of business views, which greatly simplifies our ability to create reports and also saves us from having to perform the manual mapping effort normally required,” said Tami Nolte, senior programming specialist at Deseret Power, an electrical services cooperative based in Utah. “In addition, the IT team is teaching the end users to create their own reports using Noetix and estimates that a quarter of the end users now rarely need IT support.”

The data discovery acceleration report is available at www.forrester.com.

About Noetix

Morgans Hotel Group Announces Plans for New Mondrian in SoHo

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Morgans Hotel Group Co. (NASDAQ: MHGC) (“MHG”) today announced a new joint venture with Cape Advisors Inc., a New York-based developer, to develop a Mondrian hotel in SoHo, Manhattan. Mondrian SoHo will be operated by MHG under a long-term management contract and is expected to open during the second half of 2009. The hotel is the sixth announced Mondrian, including Los Angeles, Scottsdale, and properties under development in Las Vegas, Miami and Chicago.

The joint venture will convert a property currently owned by Cape Advisors on Lafayette Street into Mondrian SoHo. The hotel is anticipated to have over 270 rooms, a bar and restaurant, as well as other amenities.

“Mondrian SoHo will be highly complementary to our existing portfolio of New York properties,” said Marc Gordon, Chief Investment Officer of MHG. “Due to the popularity of the SoHo market, sites for new hotels are extremely rare, and we look forward to establishing a presence in one of the most desirable downtown areas. Furthermore, we expect Mondrian SoHo to benefit from cost savings, labor efficiencies and other synergies of the centralized operation of our three other Manhattan hotels: Morgans, Royalton and Hudson.”

Ed Scheetz, President and Chief Executive Officer of MHG, said, “SoHo is downtown’s most attractive location—a mix of fashion, industry, culture and nightlife set in the historic cast-iron buildings and cobble-stoned streets. Boutique hotels have performed extremely well in SoHo, and we are pleased to partner with Cape Advisors to open our first property in lower Manhattan.”

Mondrian SoHo is expected to have significant space for a restaurant, bar, ballroom, meeting rooms, exercise facility and a penthouse suite with outdoor space that can be used as a guest room or for private events. The hotel is also expected to boast a street-courtyard, which would serve as the hotel entrance and outdoor dining space.

MHG contributed approximately $5 million for a 20% interest in the joint venture. Upon completion, MHG is expected to operate the hotel under a 10-year management contract with two 10-year extension options.
