March 17, 2017

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS) has today reviewed three ratings from three U.S. structured finance asset-backed securities transactions and confirmed all three outstanding classes at their current rating levels. The rating confirmations come as the performance trends of each transaction are such that credit enhancement levels are sufficient to cover DBRS’s expected losses at their current respective rating levels.

The ratings are based on DBRS’s review of the following analytical considerations:
-- Transaction capital structure, proposed ratings and form and sufficiency of available credit enhancement.
-- The transaction parties’ capabilities with regard to origination, underwriting and servicing.
-- The credit quality of the collateral pool and historical performance.

Notes:
All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

The principal methodology is the DBRS Master U.S. ABS Surveillance Methodology, which can be found on dbrs.com under Methodologies.

The rated entity or its related entities did participate in the rating process. DBRS had access to the accounts and other relevant internal documents of the rated entity or its related entities.
