KEY RATING DRIVERS

Fitch's ratings are based on the underlying cell phone installment contract pools, available credit enhancement (CE), AT&T's underwriting and servicing capabilities, the transaction's legal and cash flow structures, and a rating cap at 'Asf'.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Unanticipated increases in the frequency of defaults or charge-offs on customer accounts could produce loss levels higher than the base case and would likely result in declines of CE and remaining loss coverage levels available to the investments. Decreased CE may make certain ratings on the investments susceptible to potential negative rating actions, depending on the extent of the decline in coverage. Hence, Fitch conducts sensitivity analysis by stressing a transaction's initial base case charge-off assumption by 1.5x and 2.5x and examining the rating implications. The 1.5x and 2.5x increase of the base case account charge-offs represents moderate and severe stresses, respectively, and are intended to provide an indication of the rating sensitivity of the notes to unexpected deterioration of a trust's performance.

During the sensitivity analysis, Fitch examines the magnitude of the multiplier compression by projecting the expected cash flows and loss coverage levels over the life of investments under higher than the initial base case charge-off assumptions. Fitch models cash flows with the revised charge-off estimates while holding constant all other modeling assumptions.
