RATING SENSITIVITIES

Rating Outlooks on classes A-3 through A-1A remain Stable due to sufficient credit and enhancement and continued paydown. The rating outlook on class A-M has been revised to Positive. Upgrades to class A-M are possible with additional paydown and better than expected resolution of the larger specially serviced assets. Downgrades to the distressed classes are likely as losses are incurred.
