The depositor has prepared a preliminary prospectus supplement dated November 17, 2014 and prospectus dated November 17, 2014 which describe the notes issued by the issuing entity. You should review the preliminary prospectus supplement and the prospectus in their entirety before deciding to purchase any of the notes.

 

Ratings

 

The depositor expects that the notes issued by the issuing entity will receive the indicated ratings from Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s” and together with Fitch, the “rating agencies”) listed below.

 

 

Fitch

Moody’s

Class A-1 Notes F1+sf Prime-1 (sf)
Class A-2 Notes AAAsf Aaa (sf)
Class A-3 Notes AAAsf Aaa (sf)
Class A-4 Notes AAAsf Aaa (sf)

It is a condition to the issuance of the notes that each of the notes receives the ratings listed above.

 

The ratings of the notes address the likelihood of the payment of principal and interest on the notes according to their terms.  Each rating agency rating the notes will monitor the ratings using its normal surveillance procedures.  Any rating agency may change or withdraw an assigned rating at any time.  Any rating action taken by one rating agency may not necessarily be taken by the other rating agency.

 

None of the sponsor, depositor, servicer, administrator, indenture trustee, owner trustee or any of their affiliates will be required to monitor any changes to the ratings on these notes.

 

A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold notes.  The ratings of the notes address the likelihood of the payment of principal and interest on the notes in accordance with their terms.  A rating agency may subsequently lower or withdraw its rating of any class of the notes.  If this happens, no person or entity will be obligated to provide any additional credit enhancement for the notes.
