--Class A-2 notes at 'AAAsf'; Rating Outlook Stable;
--Class A-3 notes at 'AAAsf'; Rating Outlook Stable;
--Class A-4 notes at 'AAAsf'; Rating Outlook Stable;
--Class B notes at 'AAsf'; Rating Outlook Stable.
The affirmations reflect each class of notes' ability to pass stress case scenarios consistent with the current rating levels. The Stable Outlooks reflect Fitch's expectation that the notes will remain sufficiently enhanced to cover stressed loss levels consistent with the current ratings.
Fitch will continue to monitor this transaction and may take additional rating action in the event of changes in performance and credit enhancement measures.
Additional information is available at 'www.fitchratings.com'. The ratings above were solicited by, or on behalf of, the issuer, and therefore, Fitch has been compensated for the provision of the ratings.
