Such servicing criteria, after giving effect to the exclusions identified herein, are the “Applicable Servicing Criteria” related to the Asserting Party. The transactions covered by this report include all asset-backed securities transactions completed by the Asserting Party that were outstanding during the Reporting Period (the “Platform”) as listed in Appendix B.
