Trigger Events

A Trigger Event is in effect on any Payment Date if (i) on that Payment Date the 60+ day delinquency rolling average equals or exceeds 46% of the Senior Credit Enhancement Percentage (the 60+ day delinquency rolling average will equal the rolling 3 month average percentage of mortgage loans that are 60 or more days delinquent including mortgage loans in foreclosure and all REO property) or (ii) during such period, the aggregate amount of realized losses incurred (less any subsequent recoveries) since the Cut-off Date through the last day of the related Prepayment Period divided by the aggregate scheduled principal balance of the mortgage loans as of the Cut-off Date (the “Cumulative Realized Loss Percentage”) exceeds the amounts set forth below:

 

Payment Dates

  

Cumulative Realized Loss Percentage

April 2008 to March 2009   

1.150% for the first month, plus an additional 1/12th of 1.35% for each

April 2009 to March 2010   

2.500% for the first month, plus an additional 1/12th of 1.50% for each

month thereafter (e.g., approximately 3.250% in October 2009)

April 2010 to March 2011   

4.000% for the first month, plus an additional 1/12th of 1.20% for each

Swap Agreement

On the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee will enter into a Swap Agreement with an initial notional amount of approximately $1,003,750,611 that will amortize approximately in accordance with the schedule shown below. Under the Swap Agreement, the Issuing Entity shall be obligated to pay an amount equal to a per annum rate of 4.80% (on a 30/360 basis) on the swap notional amount to the Swap Provider and the Issuing Entity will be entitled to receive a per annum rate equal to One-Month LIBOR (on a actual/360 basis) on the swap notional amount from the Swap Provider, on each Payment Date, accrued during the swap accrual period, until the swap is retired. Only the net amount of the two obligations above will be paid by the appropriate party.

Breakeven CDR Table*

The tables below describe the Constant Default Rate (“CDR”), and the related cumulative loss on the Mortgage Loans when the referenced Class begins to incur a principal deficiency. Calculations are run to maturity at forward LIBOR. Other assumptions incorporated include the following: (1) 100% of the Prepayment Assumption, (2) 40% loss severity, (3) 6-month lag from default to loss, (4) triggers fail (i.e., no stepdown), and (5) 1-month and 6-month LIBOR are equal to their respective forward curves.
