From Reuters: Washington Mutual debt protection costs jump

The cost of protecting Washington Mutual's debt for five years rose to $1.85 million on an upfront basis, plus $500,000 in annual premiums, up from about $1.35 million plus $500,000 annually on Thursday, according to a trader.

This is the cost to insure $10 million in debt.
