3. 2 www.fitchratings.com U.S. Structured Finance Overview Consumer ABS performance was generally solid through the crisis and has been stellar post-crisis Credit Card and Auto Loan ABS performance at or near all time best Surprisingly performance seems immune to weak labor market conditions We expect Credit Card and Auto ABS performance to remain strong, even if underlying economic fundamentals deteriorate Hyper-competition in subprime auto is a concern Pre-crisis Private Student Loan transactions were weak but recent vintage deals are much stronger CLO’s demonstrated their resilience through the credit crisis and Fitch expects issuance to continue to accelerate and strong performance to continue The CMBS sector continues its recovery but market conditions are getting heated Deterioration in underwriting quality a concern The Private Label RMBS market is beginning to show signs of life Collateral quality for new transactions is extremely strong

5. 4 www.fitchratings.com Why is US Consumer ABS performing so well? Despite lingering pressures on the economy, and instability due to debt ceiling uncertainty, ratings for most ABS sectors have been and are expected to remain stable over time. Reasons for this include: Strong collateral credit quality Significant performance improvements since peak losses Conservative base cases derived through prior recessionary environments Consistent structures that de-lever rapidly Plain vanilla collateral Skin in the game for issuers, few originate to sell platforms Stable credit enhancement levels Relatively low loan payments for borrowers Strongest performing sectors – Autos, Credit Cards Weaker sectors – Private Student Loans

12. 11 www.fitchratings.com Student Loan ABS FFELP ABS FFELP loan performance and transaction ratings expected to remain stable for the majority of the sector given the U.S. government guarantee on collateral. All ‘AAAsf’ bonds have a negative rating outlooks commensurate with the US sovereign rating. Fitch is monitoring operational risk due to issuer and servicer consolidation resulting from the discontinuation of FFELP. Basis risk has subsided. Private Student Loan ABS Private student loan collateral performance is expected to remain pressured. Trust performance and downgrades will vary widely by issuer and structure: Transactions structured before the crisis are more likely to be stressed due to looser underwriting and tighter structuring. Hearings were held in March 2012 to discuss legislation regarding dischargeability of private student loans in bankruptcy. (S. 1102 “Fairness for Struggling Students Act”).
