Rating Action:

Moody's downgrades $1 bn of Second Lien RMBS issued by RFMSII

21 Apr 2010

New York, April 21, 2010 -- Moody's Investors Service has downgraded the ratings of 77 tranches and confirmed the ratings of 11 tranches from 32 RMBS transactions issued by RFMSII Home Loan Trust. The collateral backing these deal primarily consists of high LTV closed end second lien (CES) mortgages.

The actions are a result of the continued performance deterioration in second lien pools in conjunction with home price and unemployment conditions that remain under duress. The actions reflect Moody's updated loss expectations on second lien pools. For details regarding Moody's approach to estimating losses on second lien pools, please refer to the methodology publication "Second Lien RMBS Loss Projection Methodology: April 2010" available on Moodys.com.

Certain tranches included in this action, noted below, are wrapped by Financial Guaranty Insurance Company (Insured Rating Withdrawn 3/25/2009) . For securities insured by a financial guarantor, the rating on the securities is the higher of (i) the guarantor's financial strength rating and (ii) the current underlying rating (i.e., absent consideration of the guaranty) on the security. The principal methodology used in determining the underlying rating is the same methodology for rating securities that do not have a financial guaranty and is as described earlier.

RMBS securities wrapped by Ambac Assurance Corporation are rated at their underlying rating without consideration of Ambac's guaranty.

Other methodologies and factors that may have been considered in the process of rating this issue can also be found at www.moodys.com in the Rating Methodologies sub-directory. 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, 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 rating, agreed to pay to Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. for ratings opinions and services rendered by it fees ranging from $1,000 to approximately $2,700,000. MCO and MIS also maintain policies and procedures to address the independence of MIS’s ratings and rating processes. Information regarding certain affiliations that may exist between directors of MCO and rated entities, and between entities who hold ratings from MIS 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 Australia only: Any publication into Australia of this document is pursuant to the Australian Financial Services License of MOODY’S affiliate, Moody’s Investors Service Pty Limited ABN 61 003 399 657AFSL 336969 and/or Moody’s Analytics Australia Pty Ltd ABN 94 105 136 972 AFSL 383569 (as applicable). 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 rating, agreed to pay to MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) for ratings opinions and services rendered by it fees ranging from JPY125,000 to approximately JPY250,000,000.

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