Endnotes for Forms ABS-15G Repurchase Demand Activity Reporting Table

¹ The originator is the party identified by the securitizer using the same methodology as the securitizer used to identify the originator of assets for purposes of complying with Item 1110 of Regulation AB (Subpart 229.1100 – Asset-Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. §§229.1100-229.1123) in connection with registered offerings of asset-backed securities in the same asset class.

Data regarding originators for assets that were not subject to demands to repurchase or replace has been omitted because it could not be obtained by the securitizer without unreasonable effort or expense due to the number of transactions, the number of originators and the length of time the securitizer has been engaged in transactions.

² Reflects assets subject to demands to repurchase or replace that were received during the reporting period covered by this Form ABS-15G.  Activity with respect to demands received during and prior to the reporting period covered by this Form ABS-15G is reflected elsewhere in this table.  If an asset changed status during the reporting period covered by this Form ABS 15G, information regarding the asset will appear in this column and the other applicable column in this Form ABS 15G.

In connection with the preparation of this filing, we undertook the following steps to gather the information required by this Form ABS-15G and Rule 15Ga-1: (i) identifying all asset-backed securities transactions in which we acted as a securitizer that were not the subject of a filing on Form ABS-15G by an affiliated securitizer (ii) performing a diligent search of our records and the records of affiliates that acted as securitizers in our transactions for all relevant information, (iii) reviewing appropriate documentation from all relevant transactions to determine the parties responsible for enforcing representations and warranties, and any other parties to the transaction that might reasonably be expected to have received repurchase requests (“Demand Entities”), and (iv) making written request of each Demand Entity to provide any information in its possession regarding requests or demands to repurchase any loans for a breach of a representation or warranty with respect to any relevant transaction that was not previously provided to us.  We followed up written requests made of Demand Entities as we deemed appropriate. In addition, we requested information from trustees and other Demand Entities as to investor demands that occurred prior to July 22, 2010.  It is possible that this disclosure does not contain information about all investor demands upon those parties made prior to July 22, 2010.

⁸  An outstanding principal balance shown in this column is calculated (a) for any asset that has not been liquidated, as the remaining outstanding principal balance of the asset at the earlier of the date on which it was repurchased or replaced, if applicable, and the end of the reporting period covered by this Form ABS-15G, or (b) for any liquidated asset, as the remaining outstanding principal balance of the asset at liquidation following application of all borrower payments, but not including any insurance payments or liquidation proceeds applied to principal.  This same principal balance is used in the calculating the numerator in the corresponding “% of principal balance” column.  However, the denominator used to calculate the corresponding “% of principal balance” column is derived from the outstanding principal balances reported to the trustee or other calculation agent for the trust reporting period with the same ending date as the end of the reporting period covered by this Form ABS-15G, which amounts reflect any insurance payments or liquidation proceeds received on liquidated assets and applied to principal.

*(Sub)totals for # of assets and principal balance of assets are shown in separate rows due to technical formatting limitations.  The first consecutive (sub)total row presents the (sub)total for the # of assets and the second such row presents the (sub)total for the principal balance of such assets.
