There are a total of three groups in this resecuritization trust. DBRS rates all three groups, each consisting of one seasoned senior residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS). The ratings on the offered certificates reflect the credit enhancement provided by subordination within their respective groups. The ratings also reflect the quality of the underlying assets. The Initial Exchangeable Certificates are exchangeable for the Exchangeable Certificates and vice versa, in the related combinations described in Appendix A of the offering memorandum.

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

Interest and principal payments on the certificates will be made one business day following the underlying distribution date (the 25th of each month), commencing in August 2010. Within Group 1 and Group 2, interest payments will be distributed on a pro rata basis to the certificates and principal payments will be distributed on a sequential basis to the certificates, until the certificate principal balance has been reduced to zero. Within Group 3, interest and principal payments will be distributed on a sequential basis to the certificates, until the certificate principal balance has been reduced to zero.

Within each group, losses realized from the underlying securities will be allocated reverse sequentially to the certificates until their principal balances have been reduced to zero.

Each group within the Trust is a resecuritization backed by one seasoned senior RMBS, represented by one real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMIC). The REMICs are backed by pools of prime and Alt-A, fixed-rate, first-lien, one- to four-family residential mortgages.
