Rating Action:

Moody's lowers ratings of 56 Notes issued by 13 structured finance CDO transactions

10 Feb 2009

New York, February 10, 2009 -- Moody's Investors Service announced today that it has downgraded its ratings of 56 Notes issued by 13 collateralized debt obligation transactions which consist of significant exposure to Alt-A, Option-ARM and subprime RMBS securities.

Moody's explained that the rating actions listed below reflect Moody's revised loss projections for Alt-A RMBS securities which were described in a press release titled "Moody's Updated Loss Projections for '06 and '07 Alt-A RMBS," published on January 22, 2009. According to the press release, on average, Moody's is projecting cumulative losses of about 20% for 2006 securitizations and about 24% for 2007 securitizations. As a result of the revised loss projections, in most cases, subordinate Alt-A RMBS securities are likely to be completely written down. Moody's is likely to downgrade the ratings of these securities to Ca or C. In addition, according to the press release, credit protection from structural features should provide most senior Alt-A RMBS bond holders with fairly high recovery rates, although approximately 80-85% of all senior securities are likely to experience recoveries consistent with ratings lower than B3. For more details on the revised loss projections and Moody's updated Alt-A surveillance methodology, please see "Alt-A RMBS Loss Projection Update: January 2009," available on Moodys.com.

Moody's initially analyzed and continues to monitor these transactions using primarily the methodology and its supplements for ABS CDOs as described in Moody's Special Reports below:

Moody's Approach to Rating Multisector CDOs (9/15/2000)

Moody's Approach To Rating Synthetic Resecuritizations (10/29/2003)

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.”

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 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.
