PREPAYMENT CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
Single Monthly Mortality (SMM): (Voluntary partial and full prepayments + Repurchases)/(Beg Principal Balance - Sched Principal)
Conditional Prepayment Rate (CPR): 1-((1-SMM)^12)
PSA Standard Prepayment Model: CPR/(0.02*min(30,WAS))
Average SMM over period between nth month and mth month (AvgSMMn,m): [(1-SMMn) * (1-SMMn+1) .......(1-SMMm)]^(1/months in period n,m)
Average CPR over period between the nth month and mth month (AvgCPRn,m): 1-((1-AvgSMMn,m)^12)
Average PSA Approximation over period between the nth month and mth month: AvgCPRn,m/(0.02*Avg WASn,m))
Average WASn,m: (min(30,WASn)+min(30,WASn+1)+.......+min(30,WASm)/(number of months in the period n,m)
Weighted Average Seasoning (WAS)

Note: Prepayment rates are calculated since deal issue date and include partial and full voluntary prepayments and repurchases.
Dates correspond to distribution dates.

Average WASn,m: (WASn + WASn+1 +.......+ WASm )/(number of months in the period n,m)
Loss Severity Approximation for current period: sum(Realized Loss Amount)/sum(Beg Principal Balance of Liquidated Loans)
Average Loss Severity Approximation over period between nth month and mth month: Avg(Loss Severityn,m)
