There are a total of three groups in this resecuritization Trust. DBRS rates Groups 1 and 2. The DBRS-rated groups consist of two seasoned senior residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). The ratings on the notes reflect the credit enhancement provided by subordination as well as the quality of the underlying securities. Certain classes of notes (Exchangeable REMIC Notes) are exchangeable for certain other classes of notes (Exchangeable Notes) and vice versa, in the combinations described in Annex II of the private placement memorandum.

Other than the specified classes above, DBRS does not rate any other securities in this transaction.

Interest and principal payments on the notes will be made generally on the 26th or 27th day of each month commencing in April 2010. Interest payments will be distributed on a pro rata basis to the notes. Principal payments will be distributed on a sequential basis to the notes, in the order of priority specified in the private placement memorandum, until the principal balances thereof are reduced to zero.

Any losses realized from the underlying securities within each group will be allocated in a reverse sequential order to the notes.

The DBRS-rated groups within the Trust are resecuritizations of one senior Re-REMIC and one senior RMBS, represented by various real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs). Within the DBRS rated groups, the REMICs are backed by pools of prime and Alt-A, fixed-rate, first-lien, one- to four-family residential mortgages.
