 or specially serviced loans.

Fitch reviewed the one credit assessed loan in the pool, 15555 Lundy Parkway (5.1%). The credit rating of the loan is dependent on the rating of the sole tenant, Ford Motor Company. At issuance, the credit rating of Ford Motor Company was 'BBB+' with a Negative Outlook. Fitch downgraded Ford Motor Company to 'BB' with a Negative Outlook in March 2006. Fitch no longer considers this loan to be investment grade.
