Rating Action:

Moody's takes action on $1.2 billion of securities issued by certain Manufactured Housing transactions from 1998 to2007

14 Dec 2010

New York, December 14, 2010 -- Moody's Investors Service has downgraded the ratings of 35 tranches from 17 transactions, backed manufactured housing (MH) loans.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The ratings on the securities were monitored by evaluating factors Moody's determined to be essential in the analysis of securities backed by such loans. The salient factors include: i) the nature, sufficiency, and quality of historical loan performance information, ii) the collateral composition and pool credit performance including loan delinquency and loss data, iii) the transaction's capital structure and related allocations of collateral cash flows and losses, and iv) a comparison of current credit enhancement levels to updated Moody's pool loss projections based on present collateral credit performance.

When analyzing underlying ratings for MH transactions, Moody's projects cumulative losses for each deal based on a collateral analysis of the deal's Constant Prepayment Rate (CPR) and Constant Default Rate (CDR).

CPR - CPR is based on the average of the last six months 1-month CPR.

CDR - There are two approaches for determining pool CDR. The first approach calculates CDR based on pool loan losses from the previous twelve months, i.e. recent losses. A second approach is based on pipeline defaults -- derived from days-aged delinquencies and Moody's assumptions for default based on days delinquent or REO. Moody's assumes 85% severity for manufactured homes at an expected case. After CDR is calculated using the two methods, the effective CDR for loss projection purposes is determined by using a maximum of the CDRs. Moody's will project future CDR rates based on delinquency and loss trends. For the actions noted below, in most cases, Moody's has assumed that CDR will remain constant over the life of each deal. A sudden reversal in the existing trend of projected defaults and losses is not anticipated for these deals as they are well seasoned.

Based on calculated CPR and CDR, Moody's calculates projected deal-specific cumulative losses and the weighted average life of the deal. The credit enhancement calculation may also include credit for excess spread, i.e. the aggregate, positive difference in the weighted average loan coupon and the all-inclusive securities' interest and deal fees, including servicing. Excess spread benefit is calculated by multiplying the stressed annualized excess spread by the weighted average life of the deal. Aggregate credit enhancement which combines subordination benefit (including overcollateralization and/or reserve accounts) and support from letters of credit or guarantees and excess spread benefit, is compared with projected cumulative losses for the deal to derive coverage multiples and associated ratings by tranche. Moody's will analyze tranche coverage multiples after consideration of tranche-specific loss allocation and timing of principal repayment.

Classes A-3 and A-4 from CountryPlace Manufactured Housing Contract Trust 2007-1, Classes A-1 and Callable A-2 from Origen Manufactured Housing Contract Trust 2006-A, Classes A-1 and Callable A-2 from Origen Manufactured Housing Contract Trust Collateralized Notes, Series 2007-A, and Class A from Manufactured Housing Contract Trust Collateralized Notes, Series 2007-B are wrapped by Ambac Assurance Corporation (Segregated Account - Unrated). Class IIA from GreenPoint Manufactured Housing Contract Trust 1998-1, Class A-2 from GreenPoint Manufactured Housing Contract Trust 1999-6, and Class A-2 from GreenPoint Manufactured Housing Contract Trust 2000-7 are wrapped by MBIA Insurance Corporation (Downgraded to B3, Outlook Negative on Jun 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 issuer can also be found on Moody's website.

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

If expected losses on the each of the collateral pools were to increase by 10%, model implied results indicate that most of the deals' ratings would remain stable, with the exception of the tranches listed in the sensitivity analysis.

Additional terms for Japan only: Moody's Japan K.K.

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.
