) assets, including approximately 25.4% CMBS B-notes.

The collateral credit quality has improved. Since closing, 12.8% of the collateral has been upgraded, with 8.3% of the collateral being upgraded since the last rating action in December 2004. There have been no downgrades to date, and the overcollateralization (OC) ratio has remained stable since the close of the transaction. There has been limited deleveraging of the transaction's capital structure. The A-1 note holders have received principal distributions of approximately $16.3 million, representing approximately 10% of initial A-1 balance.

The ratings on the class A-1, class A-2, class BFL, and class BFX notes address the timely payment of interest and ultimate repayment of principal. The ratings on the class CFL, class CFX, class D, class E, class F, class G, class H, class J, and class K notes address the ultimate payment of interest and ultimate repayment of principal.

Due to the increased credit enhancement levels and the positive rating migration within the collateral pool, Fitch affirms the A-1 and A-2 classes, and upgrades all other classes.

Fitch will continue to monitor and review this transaction for future rating adjustments.
