RATINGS RATIONALE
Today's rating actions on the 2008-3, 2010-1,
2010-2, and 2010-3 transactions were prompted by increases
in credit enhancement for the notes. Since Moody's last took
rating actions on these notes, the credit enhancement for the Class
B notes of the 2010-1, 2010-2, and 2010-3
transactions has increased by approximately 7, 7, and 5 percentage
points, respectively, as of the June 2017 distribution date.
Additionally, as of the June 2017 distribution date, credit
enhancement on the Class A-2 notes from the 2008-3 transaction
has increased by almost 7 percentage points since closing.
Today's rating actions on the 2012-2, 2012-3,
2013-1, and 2013-2 transactions were prompted by the
Class B notes having begun to receive, or approaching the dates
when they will begin to receive, principal payments. Additionally,
as of the June 2017 distribution date, credit enhancement for the
Class B notes has increased by between 1 and 3 percentage points since
closing. The Class B notes from Series 2012-2, 2012-3,
and 2013-1 began receiving principal payments at the payment dates
occurring in August 2016, December 2016, and April 2017,
respectively. The Class B notes from Series 2013-2 will
begin receiving principal at the payment date occurring in August 2017.
Today's rating action on the 2003-A transaction was prompted by
increased credit enhancement. As of the June 2017 distribution
date, credit enhancement to the Series 2003-A note has increased
nearly 18 percentage points to 64.1% of the collateral balance,
including a 5.8% reserve account, since Moody's
last upgraded the note in October 2015. The upgrade reflects that
the risk from non-court ordered receivables, which comprised
6.7% of the Series 2003-A collateral as of closing,
is mitigated by the current high level of credit enhancement that exceeds
the closing date amount of such receivables. Non-court ordered
receivables have a higher diversion risk than court ordered receivables
and, therefore, a higher risk of default.
Moody's notes that Series 2003-A is wrapped by MBIA Insurance Corp.
(Caa1, developing outlook) and the current rating reflects Moody's
policy of rating to the higher of the financial guarantor rating and the
underlying rating.
The principal methodology used in these ratings was "Moody's Approach
to Rating Transactions Backed by Structured Settlements" published in
May 2015. Please see the Rating Methodologies page on www.moodys.com
for a copy of this methodology.
Factors that would lead to an upgrade or downgrade of the ratings:
Up
Moody's could upgrade the ratings if the credit enhancement on the notes
improves and the obligor pool quality does not deteriorate, or if
the obligor pool quality were to improve significantly
Down
Moody's could downgrade the ratings if the credit risk profile of the
obligors were to deteriorate significantly, as reflected by a downgrade
of one of more of the obligors' credit ratings, or if the amount
of defaults were to increase significantly, causing credit enhancement
for the transaction to drop.
REGULATORY DISCLOSURES
For further specification of Moody's key rating assumptions and sensitivity
analysis, see the sections Methodology Assumptions and Sensitivity
to Assumptions of the disclosure form.
The analysis for all transactions relies on a Monte Carlo simulation that
generates a large number of collateral loss or cash flow scenarios,
which on average meet key metrics Moody's determines based on its
assessment of the collateral characteristics. Moody's then
evaluates each simulated scenario using model that replicates the relevant
structural features and payment allocation rules of the transaction,
to derive losses or payments for each rated instrument. The average
loss a rated instrument incurs in all of the simulated collateral loss
or cash flow scenarios, which Moody's weights based on its
assumptions about the likelihood of events in such scenarios actually
occurring, results in the expected loss of the rated instrument.
Moody's quantitative analysis entails an evaluation of scenarios
that stress factors contributing to sensitivity of ratings and take into
account the likelihood of severe collateral losses or impaired cash flows.
For ratings issued on a program, series or category/class of debt,
this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation
to each rating of a subsequently issued bond or note of the same series
or category/class of debt or pursuant to a program for which the ratings
are derived exclusively from existing ratings in accordance with Moody's
rating practices. For ratings issued on a support provider,
this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation
to the credit rating action on the support provider and in relation to
each particular credit rating action for securities that derive their
credit ratings from the support provider's credit rating.
For provisional ratings, this announcement provides certain regulatory
disclosures in relation to the provisional rating assigned, and
in relation to a definitive rating that may be assigned subsequent to
the final issuance of the debt, in each case where the transaction
structure and terms have not changed prior to the assignment of the definitive
rating in a manner that would have affected the rating. For further
information please see the ratings tab on the issuer/entity page for the
respective issuer on www.moodys.com.
For any affected securities or rated entities receiving direct credit
support from the primary entity(ies) of this credit rating action,
and whose ratings may change as a result of this credit rating action,
the associated regulatory disclosures will be those of the guarantor entity.
Exceptions to this approach exist for the following disclosures,
if applicable to jurisdiction: Ancillary Services, Disclosure
to rated entity, Disclosure from rated entity.
Regulatory disclosures contained in this press release apply to the credit
rating and, if applicable, the related rating outlook or rating
review.
