Rating Action:

Moody's concludes review of National Collegiate Student Loan Trust securitizations

03 Jun 2013

Approximately $10 billion of asset-backed securities affected

New York, June 03, 2013 -- Moody's Investors Service downgraded 74 classes, upgraded 9 classes, and confirmed 14 classes of notes in 15 National Collegiate Student Loan Trusts backed by private (i.e. not government guaranteed) student loans. The loans are primarily serviced by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) with U.S. Bank, N.A. acting as the special servicer. GSS Data Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Goal Structured Solutions, Inc., is the administrator for all trusts.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The primary rationale for the downgrades is the performance deterioration in the underlying student loan pools and the consequent substantial erosion of total parity levels (i.e. the ratio of total assets to total liabilities) for all transactions. The total parity has declined to a range of approximately 75%-87% as of March 2013 from a range of approximately 85%-92% as of April 2011. To reflect the elevated delinquencies and defaults on the underlying loan pools Moody's increased our life time expected net losses on all 15 transactions to a range of 25.0%-49.6% from a range of approximately 24.0%-36.0%.

The upgrades of 9 classes of notes are due to the build-up in subordination as a result of the principal pay-down of outstanding notes, which more than offsets the negative impact of increased expected net losses and decreased total parity.

The ratings of the Class A tranches also reflect our view that the probability of occurrence of an event of default (EOD) is low. Therefore, the ratings on these tranches continue reflecting sequential principal payments and the resulting differentiation in their credit quality. Despite the large amount of credit enhancement supporting the first-pay Class A tranches, the probability of an EOD, however low, negatively affects their credit quality and prevents them from achieving a Aaa rating.

Available credit enhancement to the transactions includes reserve funds, subordination, and excess spread. Significant structural features include reserve fund floors as well as subordinate note interest triggers, which change the cash flow allocations to the senior notes upon the breach of certain performance thresholds.

The ratings of the most junior Class A notes of 2005-2, 2006-1, 2006-2, 2006-3 and 2007-1 could be upgraded in the future if the remaining expected net losses are 10% lower. The ratings of the most junior Class A notes of 2004-2, 2005-1, 2005-2, 2005-3, 2006-1, 2006-2, 2006-3, 2006-4, 2007-1 and 2007-2 could be downgraded if the remaining expected net losses are 10% higher. The ratings of the most junior Class A notes of 2001 Master Trust, 2003-1, 2004-1, 2007-3 and 2007-4 would not be affected if remaining expected net losses are 10% higher or lower.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Moody's Approach to Rating U.S. Private Student Loan-Backed Securities published in January 2010. Please see the Credit Policy page on www.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.

The performance expectations for a given variable indicate Moody's forward-looking view of the likely range of performance over the medium term. From time to time, Moody's may, if warranted, change these expectations. Performance that falls outside the given range may indicate that the collateral's credit quality is stronger or weaker than Moody's had anticipated when the related securities ratings were issued. Even so, a deviation from the expected range will not necessarily result in a rating action nor does performance within expectations preclude such actions. The decision to take (or not take) a rating action is dependent on an assessment of a range of factors including, but not exclusively, the performance metrics. Primary sources of uncertainty with regard to expected loss are the weak economic environment and the high unemployment rate, which adversely impacts the income-generating ability of the borrowers.

To assess rating implications of the higher expected losses, each individual transaction was run through a variety of stress scenarios using the Structured Finance Workstation® (SFW), a cash flow model developed by Moody's Wall Street Analytics.

Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., a wholly-owned credit rating agency subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation (“MCO”), hereby discloses that most issuers of debt securities (including corporate and municipal bonds, debentures, notes and commercial paper) and preferred stock rated by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. have, prior to assignment of any credit rating, agreed to pay to Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. for credit ratings opinions and services rendered by it fees ranging from $1,000 to approximately $5,000,000. 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.”

This document is intended to be provided only to “wholesale clients” within the meaning of section 761G of the Corporations Act 2001. By continuing to access this document from within Australia, you represent to MOODY’S that you are, or are accessing the document as a representative of, a “wholesale client” and that neither you nor the entity you represent will directly or indirectly disseminate this document or its contents to “retail clients” within the meaning of section 761G of the Corporations Act 2001. MOODY’S credit rating is an opinion as to the creditworthiness of a debt obligation of the issuer, not on the equity securities of the issuer or any form of security that is available to retail investors.

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. Non-NRSRO Credit Ratings are assigned by an entity that is not a NRSRO and, consequently, the rated obligation will not qualify for certain types of treatment under U.S. laws. 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 JPY125,000 to approximately JPY550,000,000.

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