Announcement:

Moody's: No Negative Ratings Impact on the Transfer of Servicing Obligations from EMC Mortgage to JPMorgan Chase Bank

31 Mar 2011

New York, March 31, 2011 -- Moody's Investors Service stated that the ratings on the Moody's rated securities issued in the below transactions were not being downgraded or withdrawn, solely as a result of the transfer of servicing from EMC Mortgage LLC, formerly known as EMC Mortgage Corporation ('EMC') (not rated) to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ('JPMorgan') (rated Aa1, negative outlook /SQ1, review for possible downgrade) scheduled to occur on April 1, 2011.

EMC informed us that it plans to transfer the servicing and/or master servicing, as the case may be, to JPMorgan in connection with JPMorgan's purchase of the servicing rights and assumption of servicing duties for the affected transactions from its affiliate, EMC, which it expects to close on April 1, 2011.

JPMorgan Chase requested that Moody's provide its opinion as to whether the ratings on the Moody's-rated securities issued in the affected transactions would be downgraded or withdrawn as a result of the servicing transfer.

Moody's believed, as of the above date, that the appointment of the servicer did not have an adverse effect on the ratings. Moody's opinion is limited to the credit-related effects of this action and does not address other non credit-related effects that investors may or may not view positively.

The principal methodologies used in assessing the credit impact of the servicing transfer were the rating methodologies described in "Moody's Approach to Rating Residential Mortgage Servicers" (January 2001) and "Updated Moody's Servicer Quality Rating Scale and Definitions" (May 2005).

MCO and Moody’s Investors Service also maintain policies and procedures to address the independence of Moody’s Investors Service credit ratings and credit rating processes. Information regarding certain affiliations that may exist between directors of MCO and rated entities, and between entities who hold credit ratings from Moody’s Investors Service and have also publicly reported to the SEC an ownership interest in MCO of more than 5%, is posted annually at www.moodys.com under the heading “Investor Relations — Corporate Governance — Director and Shareholder Affiliation Policy.”

Additional terms for Japan only: Moody's Japan K.K. (“MJKK”) is a wholly-owned credit rating agency subsidiary of Moody's Group Japan G.K., which is wholly-owned by Moody’s Overseas Holdings Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCO. Moody’s SF Japan K.K. (“MSFJ”) is a wholly-owned credit rating agency subsidiary of MJKK. MSFJ is not a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”). Therefore, credit ratings assigned by MSFJ are Non-NRSRO Credit Ratings.

MJKK and MSFJ are credit rating agencies registered with the Japan Financial Services Agency and their registration numbers are FSA Commissioner (Ratings) No. 2 and 3 respectively.

MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) hereby disclose that most issuers of debt securities (including corporate and municipal bonds, debentures, notes and commercial paper) and preferred stock rated by MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) have, prior to assignment of any credit rating, agreed to pay to MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) for credit ratings opinions and services rendered by it fees ranging from JPY100,000 to approximately JPY550,000,000.

MJKK and MSFJ also maintain policies and procedures to address Japanese regulatory requirements.
