KEY RATING DRIVERS

Fully Amortizing Loan: The loan is structured with a 20-year amortization schedule providing full amortization over the term of the loan. The loan has a Fitch loan to value (LTV) of 78.3% and a Fitch debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of 1.22x, inclusive of an amortization factor of 75%.

Experienced Sponsorship and Management: The sponsor is indirectly wholly owned and controlled by Blackwater Investments, Inc., which is controlled by Mark V. Shoen, the son of the original founders of U-Haul and a significant shareholder in AMERCO, the holding company of U-Haul. The portfolio is managed by U-Haul through management agreements with U-Haul subsidiaries in each of the states where the portfolio properties are located.
U-Haul owns and operates approximately 1,280 self-storage locations in the U.S. totaling roughly 491,000 units and 44.2 million sf of space.

Collateral Performance: The portfolio has exhibited year-over-year growth in both occupancy and net operating income (NOI) since 2010. Occupancy increased from 77.5% in 2010 to the May 2015 trailing 12 months (TTM) occupancy of 87.6%. NOI experienced average year-over-year growth of 5.1% over the same period with the TTM NOI at 28.2% above the 2010 level.

Granular Portfolio: The loan is secured by 60 cross-collateralized self-storage properties located across six states. No single property represents more than 3.4% of NOI.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Fitch found that the property could withstand a 67% decline in value and an approximate 45.2% decline in Fitch's net cash flow prior to experiencing $1 of loss to the 'AAAsf' rated classes.

Fitch performed several stress scenarios in which the Fitch net cash flow (NCF) was stressed. Fitch determined that a 24.2% reduction in Fitch's NCF would cause the notes to break even at a 1.0x DSCR, based on the actual debt service.

Fitch evaluated the sensitivity of the ratings for class A and found that an 15.9% decline in Fitch NCF would result in a one-category downgrade, while a 40.7% decline would resulting a downgrade to below investment grade.
