Abstract: A system and method for determining entitlement to content residing on a server. A subscriber computing device operated by a subscriber generates a request for access to a requested content residing on a content access provider server. The subscriber has an account with a multi-channel video program distributor (MVPD) and the account comprises subscription information indicative of the services provided by the MVPD to the subscriber. The content request is received by the content access provider and forwarded to an entitlements server. The entitlement determines whether the subscriber is entitled to receive the requested content based on the subscription information and sends an access granted message to the content access provider server when the subscriber is entitled to receive the requested content.

Abstract: A financial securitization transaction, such as a collateralized debt obligation (CDO) transaction, that (i) is at least partially collateralized by a plurality of net lease assets where the tenants to the leases are financial institutions generally with assets of less than $10 billion, and (ii) where such securitization may not be fully collateralized by such net lease assets, in which case the remainder of the collateral for such securitization may consist predominantly of obligations (including trust preferred securities, debt and/or surplus notes) of financial institutions, and/or traunches of CDOs backed predominantly by such obligations. By restricting the assets to net lease assets in which the tenants are financial institutions and restricting the remaining assets to predominately obligations of financial institutions or tranches of CDOs backed by such obligations, more favorable ratings are obtainable from the ratings agencies for the securities backed by the net lease assets.
