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/(0.002min(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) Conditional Prepayment Rate (CPR): 1-((1-SMM)^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) Dates correspond to distribution dates. Note: Prepayment rates are calculated since deal issue date and include partial and full voluntary prepayments, liquidations, and repurchases.

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.
