RATINGS RATIONALE

The primary reason for the upgrades is a continued build-up in credit enhancement supporting the affected classes as a result of the substantial pay down of the classes in a sequential-pay structure. Although the ratios of total assets to total liabilities for the affected transactions have declined to a range of 68%-85% as of October 2015 from a range of 71%-86% as of October 2014, the top-pay senior classes have benefitted from the rapid deleveraging. Subordination and overcollateralization supporting the upgraded classes of notes increased to a range of 12%-102% as of October 2015, from a range of 9% to 89% as of October 2014.

The upgrades also reflects the slow-down in delinquencies and defaults on the underlying loan pools of the affected transactions. For three month period ending October 2015, the percentage of more than 90 day delinquent loans and the average monthly defaults have stabilized at approximately 1.5%-2.5% and 0.22%-0.42%, respectively. To reflect the performance improvement, Moody's decreased net collateral losses that it expects in the underlying pools over the life of the deals to a range of 29.1%-48.3%, from a range of 30.1%-51.2%.

The rating actions also reflect the correction of an error in the calculation of remaining net loss on the underlying loan pools used by Moody's in the stress rating scenarios. In previous actions, Moody's gave too much benefit to the expected remaining recovery from previously defaulted loans under stressed scenarios. The negative effect of the corrected calculation was however more than offset by the increased credit enhancement levels for the top-paid senior tranches and the stabilization in the performance of the underlying collateral loan pools.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was "Moody's Approach to Rating U.S. Private Student Loan-Backed Securities" published in January 2010. Please see the Credit Policy page on www.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.

The performance expectations for a given variable indicate Moody's forward-looking view of the likely range of performance over the medium term. From time to time, Moody's may, if warranted, change these expectations. Performance that falls outside the given range may indicate that the collateral's credit quality is stronger or weaker than Moody's had anticipated when the related securities ratings were issued. Even so, a deviation from the expected range will not necessarily result in a rating action nor does performance within expectations preclude such actions. The decision to take (or not take) a rating action is dependent on an assessment of a range of factors including, but not exclusively, the performance metrics.

Factors that would lead to an upgrade or downgrade of the rating:

Up

Among the factors that could drive the ratings up are a decrease in basis risk and lower net losses on the underlying assets than Moody's expects.

Down

Among the factors that could drive the ratings down are an increase in basis risk and higher net losses on the underlying assets than Moody's expects.

To assess rating implications of the higher expected losses, each individual transaction was run through a variety of stress scenarios using the Structured Finance Workstation® (SFW), a cash flow model developed by Moody's Wall Street Analytics.

REGULATORY DISCLOSURES

For further specification of Moody's key rating assumptions and sensitivity analysis, see the sections Methodology Assumptions and Sensitivity to Assumptions of the disclosure form.

In rating this transaction, Moody's used a cash flow model to model cash flow stress scenarios to determine the extent to which investors would receive timely payments of interest and principal in the stress scenarios, given the transaction structure and collateral composition.

Moody's quantitative analysis entails an evaluation of scenarios that stress factors contributing to sensitivity of ratings and take into account the likelihood of severe collateral losses or impaired cash flows.

For ratings issued on a program, series or category/class of debt, this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation to each rating of a subsequently issued bond or note of the same series or category/class of debt or pursuant to a program for which the ratings are derived exclusively from existing ratings in accordance with Moody's rating practices. For ratings issued on a support provider, this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation to the rating action on the support provider and in relation to each particular rating action for securities that derive their credit ratings from the support provider's credit rating. For provisional ratings, this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation to the provisional rating assigned, and in relation to a definitive rating that may be assigned subsequent to the final issuance of the debt, in each case where the transaction structure and terms have not changed prior to the assignment of the definitive rating in a manner that would have affected the rating. For further information please see the ratings tab on the issuer/entity page for the respective issuer on www.moodys.com.

For any affected securities or rated entities receiving direct credit support from the primary entity(ies) of this rating action, and whose ratings may change as a result of this rating action, the associated regulatory disclosures will be those of the guarantor entity. Exceptions to this approach exist for the following disclosures, if applicable to jurisdiction: Ancillary Services, Disclosure to rated entity, Disclosure from rated entity.

Regulatory disclosures contained in this press release apply to the credit rating and, if applicable, the related rating outlook or rating review.
