PREPAYMENT CALCULATION METHODOLOGY

	Single Monthly Mortality (SMM): (Voluntary partial and full prepayments + Repurchases + Liquidations )/(Beg Principal Balance - Sched Principal)

	Conditional Prepayment Rate (CPR): 1-((1-SMM)^12)
	PSA Standard Prepayment Model: CPR/(0.002*min(30,WAS))
	PSA Standard Prepayment Model: CPR/(0.002*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/(0.002*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, liquidations, and repurchases.
	Dates correspond to distribution dates.

COLLATERAL REALIZED LOSS CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
	Monthly Default Rate (MDR): (Beg Principal Balance of Liquidated Loans)/(Total Beg Principal Balance)



	Conditional Default Rate (CDR): 1-((1-MDR)^12)

	SDA Standard Default Assumption: CDR/IF(WAS<61,MIN(30,WAS)0.02,MAX(0.03,MIN(30,WAS)0.02-0.0095*(WAS-60)))

	Average MDR over period between nth month and mth month (AvgMDRn,m): [(1-MDRn)(1-MDRn+1)...*(1-MDRm)]^(1/months in period n,m)
	Average CDR over period between the nth month and mth month (AvgCDRn,m): 1-((1-AvgMDRn,m)^12)

	Average SDA Approximation over period between the nth month and mth month:
	AvgCDRn,m/IF(Avg WASn,m<61,MIN(30,Avg WASn,m)0.02,MAX(0.03,MIN(30,Avg WASn,m)0.02-0.0095*(Avg WASn,m-60)))

	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)

	Note: Default rates are calculated since deal issue date and include realized gains and additional realized losses and gains from prior periods.
	Dates correspond to distribution dates.
