The confirmation is based on a review of certain amendments to the index upon which special allowance payments are based upon from the three-month commercial paper rate to the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The transactions are performing within DBRS expectations.

The applicable methodology is the DBRS Master U.S. ABS Surveillance Methodology, which can be found on our website under Methodologies.
