MOODY'S UPDATES ABCP QUERY
Moody's has published its ABCP Query product with information as of March

NO RATING IMPACT ON THE FOLLOWING ABCP PROGRAMS FROM JUNE 29, 2015
THROUGH JULY 3, 2015:
Moody's has reviewed the following ABCP programs in conjunction
with the proposed additions and amendments, as applicable.
At this time the additions and amendments, in and of themselves,
will not result in any rating impact on the respective program.
Moody's does not believe they will have an adverse effect on the credit
quality of the securities such that the Moody's ratings are impacted.
Moody's does not express an opinion as to whether the additions and amendments
could have other, non-credit-related effects.
CIBC'S SAFE TRUST RENEWS INTEREST IN EXISTING AUTO DEALER FLOORPLAN FACILITY
SAFE Trust ("SAFE"), a partially supported, multiseller Canadian
ABCP program administered by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC"),
has renewed its interest in an existing CAD200 million auto dealer floorplan
facility. The facility is secured by a revolving pool of dealer
floorplan loans originated by an investment-grade rated Canadian
auto finance company. The transaction is structured as a two-year
revolving facility. SAFE holds an unrated note issued out of a
master trust.
This transaction has been in SAFE's portfolio since 2012 and has performed
well over the years. The transaction-specific credit enhancement
is comprised of a cash reserve account sized at 1% of the funded
amount and overcollateralization (with a minimum O/C of 23.50%
of total receivables). The reported 3-month average principal
payment rate is 50.5%. The transaction continues
to be partially supported by a liquidity facility provided by Prime-1(cr)
CIBC. SAFE has a single program-level liquidity facility
that is used to support its notes.

billion in outstanding Series 1996-1 Senior Short Term Notes.

for an unrated agricultural company.
Transaction-specific credit enhancement is in the form of dynamic
overcollateralization equal to a minimum of 15%. The overcollateralization
fluctuates depending on asset performance. Nieuw Amsterdam's commitment

Rabobank, funding for non-defaulted assets.
With this transaction, Nieuw Amsterdam's program-level

commitments for each facility. Prior to the amendment there was
