PREPAYMENT CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
Single Monthly Mortality (SMM): (Voluntary partial and full prepayments + Repurchases)/(Beg Principal Balance - Sched Principal)
Conditional Prepayment Rate (CPR): 1-((1-SMM)^12)
PSA Standard Prepayment Model: CPR/(0.02*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 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.
