21 Apr 2011

New York, April 21, 2011 -- Moody's Investors Service has downgraded the ratings of 75 tranches and confirmed the ratings of 20 tranches from eight synthetic jumbo deals issued by RESI.

RATINGS RATIONALE

These synthetic transactions provide the owner of a sizable pool of mortgages (the "Protection Buyer") credit protection through a credit default swap with the issuer (the "Protection Seller") of the notes. Through this agreement, the Protection Buyer pays a fee in return for the transfer of a portion of the reference portfolio credit risk.

Investors in the notes have an interest in the holdings of the issuer, which include highly rated investment instruments, a forward delivery agreement and fee collections on the agreement with the Protection Buyer. Investors are exposed to losses from the reference portfolio but benefit only indirectly from cash flows from these assets. Depending on the class of notes held, investors have credit protection from subordination.

The reference portfolios of these transactions include prime conforming and nonconforming fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages purchased from various originators. The actions are a result of deteriorating performance of prime jumbo pools securitized before 2005. Although most of these pools have paid down significantly, the remaining loans are affected by the housing and macroeconomic conditions that remain under duress.

The principal methodology used in these ratings is described in the Monitoring and Performance Review section in "Moody's Approach to Rating US Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities" published in December 2008. Other methodologies used to estimate losses on the pools are described under "Pre-2005 US RMBS Surveillance Methodology" published in January 2011, which accounts for the deteriorating performance and outlook.

To assess the ratings on the bonds,Moody's considered the level of credit enhancement available for each tranche relative to updated pool-level loss expectations. Within the senior note waterfalls, Moody's took into account credit enhancement provided by seniority, cross-collateralization, excess spread, principal payment waterfall, and other structural features .

The primary source of assumption uncertainty is the current macroeconomic environment, in which unemployment levels remain high, and weakness persists in the housing market. Overall, Moody's assumes a further 5% decline in home prices with stabilization in late 2011, accompanied by continued stress in national employment levels through that timeframe.

Moody's Investors Service received and took into account one or more third party due diligence reports on the underlying assets or financial instruments in this transaction and the due diligence reports had a neutral impact on the rating.
