CMBS AAA/Aaa Structural Evolution
Standard U.S. CMBS AAA/Aaa StructureSuper Duper Senior = Most enhanced AAA class; typically 30% credit enhancement
Super Senior = Mezzanine AAA class; typically 20% credit enhancement
Junior = Most subordinated AAA class; typically 12% - 15% credit enhancement (as determined by the rating agencies)
Class A-1A: Multifamily directed classClass A-AB: Amortizing bond
Standard U.S. CMBS AAA/Aaa WaterfallPrior to write down of Class A-M principal is paid sequentially to the Super Duper Senior classes
After write down of Class A-M principal is paid pro rata to all outstanding Super Duper Senior classes

Prepayment Conventions: CPR vs. CPY vs. CPP
Prepayment Conventions
CPR: prepayments begin after contractual lockout
CPY: prepayments begin after contractual lockout and yield maintenance period, if any
CPP: prepayments begin after contractual lockout, yield maintenance period and fixed penalty period, if any
‘100 CPY’ assumes the loan prepays in full after the lockout period and YM period

Standard Conduit Structure: Time Tranched Super Senior AAA classes; PAC & Companion IOs
Rating agencies determine capital structure; Investors determine dollar prices and spread
The interpolated swap rate or GOC yield plus the spread determines the yield on the investment grade bonds
The interpolated GOC yield plus the spread determines the yield on the below investment grade and interest-only bonds
On bond execution the deal is losing money; however, hedging results in a profit for the deal

CMBS HedgingTo protect against interest rate movements between origination and securitization, issuers hedgeHedges can include swaps, bond forwards, etcHedges perform opposite to the mortgage portfolioFor example, if rates rise, CMBS execution proceeds decline, but the hedge would increase in valueThe transaction would be effectively insulated from interest rate (not spread) changes
Levered (Companion) & PAC I0 Structure
Excess Interest between the collateral WAC and fixed rate bond coupons is paid to the IO holders
This excess interest is further divided into a levered (companion) and PAC IO
In this example, Class XC is the Levered (Companion) IO
Class XP is the PAC IO
Stepped PAC IO Structure
The PAC IO is sized to prepayment and default stresses
The PAC IO provides more default protection when mortgages are more likely to default and prepayment protection when mortgages are more likely to prepay
Stepped PAC IO Notional
Standard Conduit Structure: Base Case Investment Grade Bond Spreads plus 3 bps
Assumes investment grade bond spreads widen 3 basis points
More coupon is directed to investment grade bonds
Less coupon is available to the IO bonds resulting in reduced IO proceeds
However, since coupons are capped, there is no redirection of coupon flows

Assumes below investment grade bond spreads widen 25 basis points
Below investment grade bond coupon is constant at 10 year Treasury plus 50 bps
Higher yield reduces below investment grade proceeds

Execution Summary
Commercial Mortgage Defaults: 30 Years of History
ELS Study:
Esaki, L’Heureux, Snyderman (“ELS”) Study (1999, updated in 2002)Tracked U.S. insurance company commercial mortgage defaults from 1972-200216,595 loansPeak years for defaults were years 3 to 7 after origination – no pattern of higher defaults in balloon years
Commercial Mortgage Defaults: 30 Years of History
ELS Study continued:
Average cumulative lifetime default rate for 10-year origination cohorts was 18.4%Worst cohort (1986) experienced an average cumulative lifetime default rate of 31.6%About 59% of the defaulted loans were liquidated, 40% were restructured, and 1% experienced full recoveryAverage loss severity on liquidated loans was 31%
Commercial Mortgage Defaults: 30 Years of History
ELS Study continued:
Average loss rate = 18.4% x [(59% x 31%) + (40% x 16.5%) + (1% x 0%)] = 4.58%Current Baa2 conduit subordination levels average 5.0%Worst cohort (1986) average loss rate of 8.7%Current Aa2 and A2 conduit subordination levels of 11.25% and 8.75%
Moody’s – Lehman Brothers Study (2004)
1,870 U.S. CMBS loans with a cut-off balance of $10BAverage default rate of 4% (loans 90+ days past due) Average loss severity of 37.6% on cut-off balance and 41% on current balanceExpected loss = 4% x 37.6% = 1.50%Current B2 conduit subordination levels average 1.875%
Avg. U.S. Conduit Capital Structure: vs. ELS Study
Based on the average ELS experience, the current Baa2 bonds would not experience losses
Based on the experience of the worst origination cohort, the current Baa2 would experience losses

Canadian Commercial Mortgage Default Study - Fitch
Fitch study – Oct 19985,654 Canadian commercial real estate loans ($10.7B)
Originated between 1982 – 1996Defaulted loans equaled 8%Cumulative losses were $181MM, or 2% of total origination balance Worst year – 1987 – 27% of that year’s originations defaulted
Average Canadian Conduit Capital Structure vs. Fitch Study
Based on the average Fitch experience over this stressed period, the current BBB bonds would not experience losses
Based on the experience of the worst origination cohort, the current BBB would experience losses
Fitch considers this period to be an “A” stress scenario
