The rating downgrades are due to projected losses on the seven loans that are specially serviced or will be imminently transferred to the special servicer (1.7%). The Rating Outlooks reflect the likely direction of any rating changes over the next one or two years. Forty loans (15.2%) are considered Fitch Loans of Concern, including the specially serviced loans. Eleven additional loans (6.3%) have been identified as Loans of Concern since the last Fitch rating action.

The largest specially serviced loan is Lembi Multifamily Portfolio (0.9%), collateralized by eight multifamily properties in San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden , CA. The loan transferred to the special servicer when the borrower failed to replenish a debt service reserve as the loan documents require. The loan is current, and the special servicer is considering forbearance Refraining from doing something that one has a legal right to do.

Losses are not expected.

The second largest specially serviced loan is the Anchor Government Assets Portfolio (0.6%), collateralized by five office properties in Columbus, OH. The primary tenants are state government entities, and the portfolio's tenants have contracted due to budget cuts. The loan is 30 days delinquent, and losses are expected.

The largest Loan of Concern (2.3%) is collateralized by a regional mall located in Miami, FL that was in the process of stabilizing at issuance due to a recently added lifestyle center. Based on the September 2008 rent roll, the property is approximately 95% occupied. The servicer reported debt service coverage ratio The debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), or debt service ratio, is the ratio of net operating income to debt payments on a piece of investment real estate.

The largest loan in the pool (4.3%) is secured by a regional mall in Estrero, FL. The property was completed in 2006. The majority of the leases expire in 2016 or later. The servicer reported DSCR and occupancy through September 2008 were 1.26x and 99.8%, respectively.

There are two shadow rated loans within the transaction: Centro Heritage Portfolio V (2.4%) and Center West (1.7%). Occupancy as of June 2008 for Centro Heritage Portfolio V and as of September 2008 for Center West were 89.5% and 72%, respectively, consistent with issuance. Both of the loans maintain investment grade shadow ratings.
