The upgrades reflect the increased credit enhancement Credit Enhancement A method whereby a company attempts to improve its debt or credit worthiness. Notes: Credit enhancements take many different forms. An example of a credit enhancement would be conversion rights added on to a debt instrument in order to lower the issuing as a result of loan payoffs and amortization. As of the April 2006 distribution date, the pool's aggregate principal balance has been reduced by 89.1% to $48.8 million from $447 million at issuance. Although, the transaction has limited loan diversity with only two loans remaining in the pool, the credit enhancement levels were sufficient to merit the upgrades. The transaction has no realized losses to date. The two remaining loans (100%) in the transaction are currently in specially servicing and are both real-estate owned (REO reo Noun NZ a language [Maori] ). The largest specially serviced asset (83.8%) is a portfolio of office properties located in Dallas, TX. The special servicer is continuing with their leasing efforts to increase occupancy before marketing the properties for sale. Significant losses are expected to be absorbed by the non-rated class I certificates. The other specially serviced asset is a hotel located in San Francisco, CA, which originally transferred to the special servicer as a result of a maturity default. The property lacks a franchise affiliation and the special servicer is currently marketing it for sale. Minimal losses are expected and should be absorbed by class I.
