RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that could, individually or collectively, lead to negative rating action/downgrade:
This defined negative stress sensitivity analysis demonstrates how the ratings would react to steeper market value declines (MVDs) at the national level. The analysis assumes MVDs of 10.0%, 20.0% and 30.0%, in addition to the model projected decline at the base case. This analysis indicates that there is some potential rating migration with higher MVDs compared with the model projection.
Factors that could, individually or collectively, lead to positive rating action/upgrade:
This defined positive rating sensitivity analysis demonstrates how the ratings would react to positive home price growth with no assumed overvaluation. The analysis assumes positive home price growth of 10.0%. Excluding the senior classes already rated 'AAAsf' as well as classes that are constrained due to qualitative rating caps, the analysis indicates there is potential positive rating migration for all of the other rated classes.
This section provides insight into the model-implied sensitivities the transaction faces when one assumption is modified, while holding others equal. The modeling process uses the modification of these variables to reflect asset performance in up and down environments. The results should only be considered as one potential outcome, as the transaction is exposed to multiple dynamic risk factors. It should not be used as an indicator of possible future performance.

Best/Worst Case Rating Scenario
International scale credit ratings of Structured Finance transactions have a best-case rating upgrade scenario (defined as the 99th percentile of rating transitions, measured in a positive direction) of seven notches over a three-year rating horizon; and a worst-case rating downgrade scenario (defined as the 99th percentile of rating transitions, measured in a negative direction) of seven notches over three years. The complete span of best- and worst-case scenario credit ratings for all rating categories ranges from 'AAAsf' to 'Dsf'. Best- and worst-case scenario credit ratings are based on historical performance.

ESG Considerations
All deals within this review have an ESG credit relevance score of '4'. Certain drivers of these ratings include exposure to accessibility to affordable housing and exposure to compliance risks including fair lending practices, mis-selling, repossession/foreclosure practices, consumer data protection (data security). This has a negative impact on the deals' credit profiles and is relevant to the ratings in conjunction with other factors.
