Rating Action:

Moody's assigns definitive ratings to Irish RMBS Notes Issued by Fastnet Securities 6 Ltd

15 Mar 2011

EUR 1,680 million of debt securities rated

London, 15 March 2011 -- Moody's Investors Service assigned definitive credit ratings to the following classes of Notes issued by Fastnet Securities 6 Ltd:

....EUR 561,600,000 A1 Mortgage Backed Notes due Dec 2050, Assigned A1 (sf) and Placed Under Review for Possible Downgrade

....EUR 559,200,000 A2 Mortgage Backed Notes due Dec 2050, Assigned A1 (sf) and Placed Under Review for Possible Downgrade

....EUR 559,200,000 A3 Mortgage Backed Notes due Dec 2050, Assigned A1 (sf) and Placed Under Review for Possible Downgrade

Moody's has not rated the EUR 720,000,000 Class B Mortgage Backed Notes due 2050

RATING RATIONALE

The transaction closed in November 2008 and was initially not rated by Moody's. The notes are backed by a pool of first-lien prime owner-occupied (57.5 per cent) and non owner-occupied (42.5 per cent) mortgage loans originated by Irish Life and Permanent plc (Senior Unsecured Ba2 / NP under review for possible downgrade). This RMBS transaction is one of eight outstanding in the Fastnet series containing Irish Life and Permanent mortgage loans.

The key parameters used by Moody's to calibrate the loss distribution curve are a portfolio expected loss of 11 per cent and Milan Aaa Credit Enhancement (CE) of 40 per cent, both as of current balance.

Portfolio expected loss: Moody's has assessed the lifetime loss expectation for the pool taking into account the collateral performance to date as well as the current macroeconomic environment in Ireland. The share of loans more than 90 days in arrears is 8.4 per cent as at December 2010 compared to zero per cent at the original closing date in November 2008. The share of 360 days delinquent loans is 2.9 per cent. Moody's believes the weakening of Irish economic conditions and in particular the effects of further government austerity measures will continue to negatively impact borrowers' ability to perform their financial obligations. As a result we expect arrears levels in the portfolio to continue to increase through 2011 and to remain at elevated levels for several years.

Stress scenarios: Moody's has assessed the loan-by-loan information to determine the MILAN Aaa CE assumption of 40 per cent. The assigned rating of A1 (sf) also incorporates additional stress scenarios, which have been analysed by Moody's to take into account systemic country risk and the impact of a sovereign and banking stress in Ireland. In its analysis, Moody's considered the likely performance of the transaction in the context of a severe stress scenario that assumes combinations of a restructuring of the government's debt, a banking system crisis, and a more severe version of the current austerity plan. The loss to the portfolio in such an extreme scenario was assumed to be approximately 20 per cent and credit enhancement of the A1 (sf) rated senior notes was assessed to ensure that these notes would not experience a loss in such a scenario.

Operational risk: on February 11 2011, the senior unsecured rating of Irish Life and Permanent plc (IL&P) was downgraded to Ba2 and remains on review for further possible downgrade. IL&P performs several key roles in the transaction including that of servicer and cash manager. IL&P has taken a number of steps to mitigate the operational risk to the transaction including the appointment of BNP Paribas Securities Services, London Branch as Issuer Account Bank and back-up cash manager. The revised transaction documents also contain a requirement for IL&P, at its own cost, to appoint a back-up servicer as soon as possible.

The rated notes are placed under review for possible downgrade pending the appointment of a back-up servicer. Moody's will assess the strength of the back-up arrangement, when appointed. Should the arrangement be deemed weak, or if no back-up is appointed within the near future, then the ratings of the Class A1, A2 and A3 notes will most likely be downgraded to A3.

The rating addresses the expected loss posed to investors by the legal final maturity of the notes. In Moody's opinion, the structure allows for timely payment of interest and principal with respect of the notes by the legal final maturity. Moody's ratings only address the credit risk associated with the transaction. Other non-credit risks have not been addressed, but may have a significant effect on yield to investors.

V-Score: The V-Score for this transaction is Medium/High, mainly due to the current macroeconomic environment, historical performance and downgrade rate in the Irish RMBS sector and the performance of the existing Fastnet transactions. V-Scores are a relative assessment of the quality of available credit information and of the degree of dependence on various assumptions used in determining the rating. High variability in key assumptions could expose a rating to more likelihood of rating changes. The V-Score has been assigned according to the report "V-Scores and Parameter Sensitivities in the Major EMEA RMBS Sectors" published in April 2009.

Moody's Parameter Sensitivities: If the portfolio Milan Aaa Credit Enhancement was increased to 45 per cent, the model output for Classes A1, A2 and A3 notes would have achieved an A1 rating assuming all other factors remained. Moody's Parameter Sensitivities provide a quantitative/model-indicated calculation of the number of rating notches that a Moody's structured finance security may vary if certain input parameters used in the initial rating process differed. The analysis assumes that the deal has not aged and is not intended to measure how the rating of the security might migrate over time, but rather how the initial rating of the security might have differed if key rating input parameters were varied. Parameter Sensitivities for the typical EMEA RMBS transaction are calculated by stressing key variable inputs in Moody's primary rating model.

The principal methodologies used in this rating were Moody's MILAN Methodology for rating Irish RMBS published in April 2009 and Cash Flow Analysis in EMEA RMBS: Testing Structural Features with the MARCO Model published in January 2006. In addition, Moody's publishes a weekly summary of structured finance credit, ratings and methodologies, available to all registered users of our website, at www.moodys.com/SFQuickCheck.

Moody's Investors Service did not receive or take into account a third party due diligence report on the underlying assets or financial instruments in this transaction.
