RATINGS RATIONALE

The actions are a result of the recent performance of Subprime pools originated after 2005 and reflect Moody's updated loss expectations on these pools. The upgrades/downgrades in today's rating action are a result of improving/deteriorating performance and/or structural features resulting in lower/higher expected losses for certain bonds than previously anticipated.

The methodologies used in these ratings were "Moody's Approach to Rating US Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities" published in December 2008, and "2005 -- 2008 US RMBS Surveillance Methodology" published in July 2011. Please see the Credit Policy page on www.moodys.com for a copy of these methodologies.

Moody's adjusts the methodologies noted above for Moody's current views on loan modifications. As a result of an extension of the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) to 2013 and an increased use of private modifications, Moody's is extending its previous view that loan modifications will only occur through the end of 2012. It is now assuming that the loan modifications will continue at current levels until the end of 2013.

To assess the rating implications of the updated loss levels on subprime RMBS, each individual pool was run through a variety of scenarios in the Structured Finance Workstation® (SFW), the cash flow model developed by Moody's Wall Street Analytics. This individual pool level analysis incorporates performance variances across the different pools and the structural features of the transaction including priorities of payment distribution among the different tranches, average life of the tranches, current balances of the tranches and future cash flows under expected and stressed scenarios. The scenarios include ninety-six different combinations comprising of six loss levels, four loss timing curves and four prepayment curves. The volatility in losses experienced by a tranche due to extended foreclosure timelines by servicers is taken into consideration when assigning ratings.

The above methodology only applies to pools with at least 40 loans and a pool factor of greater than 5%. Moody's may withdraw its rating when the pool factor drops below 5% and the number of loans in the pool declines to 40 loans or lower unless specific structural features allow for a monitoring of the transaction (such as a credit enhancement floor).

The primary sources of assumption uncertainty are our central macroeconomic forecast and performance volatility as a result of servicer-related activity such as modifications. The unemployment rate fell from 9.1% in June 2011 to 8.2% in June 2012. Moody's forecasts a further drop to 7.8% by the end of 2Q 2013. Moody's expects housing prices to remain stable through the remainder of 2012 before gradually rising towards the end of 2013. Performance of RMBS continues to remain highly dependent on servicer activity such as modification-related principal forgiveness and interest rate reductions. Any change resulting from servicing transfers or other policy or regulatory change can also impact the performance of these transactions .
