ITEM 1.01 Initial Filing of Rule 15Ga-1 Representations and Warranties Disclosure.(2)
No Activity to Report.
(2) We have attempted to gather the information required by this Form ABS-15G and Rule 15Ga-1 by, among other things, (i) identifying asset-backed securities transactions that fall within the scope of Rule 15Ga-1 for which we are a securitizer and that are not covered by a filing to be made by an affiliated securitizer (“Covered Transactions”), (ii) gathering information in our records regarding demands for repurchase or replacement of pool assets in Covered Transactions for breaches of representations or warranties concerning those pool assets (“Repurchases”) that is required to be reported on Form ABS-15G (“Reportable Information”), (iii) identifying the parties in Covered Transactions that have a contractual obligation to enforce any Repurchase obligations of the party or parties making those representations or warranties based on our records (“Demand Entities”), and (iv) requesting all Reportable Information from trustees, servicers and other Demand Entities that is within their respective possession and which has not been previously provided to us. However, we cannot be certain that we have obtained all applicable Reportable Information because, among other things, some Demand Entities have not agreed to provide Reportable Information or may not have provided complete Reportable Information, and some trustees, servicers and Demand Entities may be unable or unwilling to provide Reportable Information without unreasonable effort or expense (or without imposing unreasonable expense on us). The information in this Form ABS-15G has not been verified by any third party.
In addition, while we requested Reportable Information from trustees, servicers and other Demand Entities as to investor demands that occurred prior to July 22, 2010, it is possible that this disclosure does not contain information about all investor demands upon those parties made prior to that date.
