Regulation AB

Asset-Backed Securities





Item 1119 -- Affiliations and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions


  1. Describe if so, and how, the sponsor, depositor or issuing entity is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 230.405 of this chapter) of any of the following parties as well as, to the extent known and material, if so, and how, any of the following parties are affiliates of any of the other following parties:

    1. Servicer contemplated by Item 1108(a)(3) of this Regulation AB.

    2. Trustee.

    3. Originator contemplated by Item 1110 of this Regulation AB.

    4. Significant obligor contemplated by Item 1112 of this Regulation AB.

    5. Enhancement or support provider contemplated by Items 1114 or 1115 of this Regulation AB.

    6. Any other material parties related to the asset-backed securities contemplated by Item 1100(d)(1) of this Regulation AB.

  2. Describe whether there is, and if so the general character of, any business relationship, agreement, arrangement, transaction or understanding that is entered into outside the ordinary course of business or is on terms other than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with an unrelated third party, apart from the asset-backed securities transaction, between the sponsor, depositor or issuing entity and any of the parties in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(6) of this section, or any affiliates of such parties, that currently exists or that existed during the past two years and that is material to an investor’s understanding of the asset-backed securities.


    Instruction to Item 1119(b).

    What is required is information material to an investor’s understanding of the asset-backed securities. A detailed description or itemized listing of all commercial relationships among the parties is not required. Instead, the disclosure should indicate whether any relationships outside of the asset-backed securities transaction do exist that are outside the normal course and the general character of those relationships.


  3. Notwithstanding paragraph (b) of this section, describe, to the extent material, any specific relationships involving or relating to the asset-backed securities transaction or the pool assets, including the material terms and approximate dollar amount involved, between the sponsor, depositor or issuing entity and any of the parties in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(6) of this section, or any affiliates of such parties, that currently exists or that existed during the past two years.


Instruction to Item 1119.

With respect to disclosure in an annual report on Form 10-K, information required by this Item 1119 may be omitted to the extent that substantially the same information had been provided previously in an annual report on Form 10-K (Rule 249.310) for the asset-backed securities or in an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or a prospectus timely filed pursuant to Rule 230.424 of this chapter under the same Central Index Key (CIK) code as the current annual report on Form 10-K.
