KEY RATING DRIVERS

The long-term 'AAA', Stable Outlook ratings assigned to the series 2016-XG0102 Floater and Residual Certificates are based on the rating that Fitch has assigned to New York City Transitional Finance Authority, Future Tax Secured Subordinate Bonds, Fiscal 2017 Subseries A-1 Tax-Exempt Bonds (rated 'AAA', Stable Outlook) that have been deposited in the 2016-XG0102 trust.

The long-term 'AA', Stable Outlook ratings assigned to the series 2016-XG0103 Floater and Residual Certificates are based on the rating that Fitch has assigned to Colorado Health Facilities Authority Hospital Revenue Bonds, Series 2016A (rated 'AA', Stable Outlook) that have been deposited in the 2016-XG0103 trust.

The short-term 'F1+' ratings assigned to the Floater Receipts are based on the liquidity facilities provided by State Street Bank and Trust Company (rated 'AA/F1+', Stable Outlook), which have a stated expiration date of July 15, 2017, unless such date is extended or earlier terminated.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

The short-term ratings assigned to the Floater Receipts will be adjusted upward or downward in conjunction with the short-term rating of the bank, and, in some cases, the long-term ratings of the underlying bonds deposited in the trusts. The long-term ratings assigned to the Floater and Residual Receipts are exclusively tied to the creditworthiness of the underlying bonds deposited in the trusts and will reflect all changes to such ratings.
