The “Net Losses as a Percent of Average Net Receivables” represent actual charge-offs, net of recoveries, on GMAC’s U.S. auto operations retail portfolio. Net losses include the initial write-down to fair market value of all repossessed vehicles in the month of repossession.
WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIFE OF THE NOTES
Prepayments on automotive receivables can be measured relative to a prepayment standard or model. The model used in this term sheet to present the projected weighted average life of each class of notes, the Absolute Prepayment Model, or ABS, assumes a rate of prepayment each month relative to the original number of receivables in a pool of receivables. ABS further assumes that all the receivables are uniform as to size and maturity and amortize at the same rate and that each receivable in each month of its life will either be paid as scheduled or be prepaid in full. For example, in a pool of receivables assumed to originally contain 10,000 uniform receivables, a 1% ABS rate means that 100 receivables prepay each month. ABS does not purport to be a historical description of prepayment experience or a prediction of the anticipated rate of prepayment of any pool of receivables, including the receivables owned by the trust.
As the rate of payment of principal of each class of notes will depend on the rate of payment, including prepayments, of the principal balance of the receivables, final payment of each class of notes could occur significantly earlier than the final scheduled distribution date for that class of notes. Reinvestment risk associated with early payment of the notes will be borne exclusively by the noteholders.
The tables below under the heading “Percent of Initial Note Principal Balance Outstanding at Various ABS Percentages” have been prepared on the basis of indicated ABS percentages. The indicated ABS percentages have been applied to the hypothetical pool of receivables, consisting of a hypothetical pool of subvented receivables and a hypothetical pool of non-subvented receivables.
The “hypothetical pool of subvented receivables” is a pool of uniform receivables with aggregate remaining payments in each month, measured as of the cutoff date, equal to those of the subvented receivables owned by the trust on the closing date. The table below under the heading “Schedule of Remaining Payments by Month” sets forth the remaining payments in each month, measured as of the cutoff date, on the subvented receivables owned by the trust on the closing date. The initial aggregate present value of these remaining payments, using a discount rate of 7.50%, is equal to $2,170,048,905.87.
The “hypothetical pool of non-subvented receivables” is a pool of receivables that have been further disaggregated into twelve smaller hypothetical pools having the characteristics set forth in the table below. The level scheduled monthly payment for each of the hypothetical pools is based on aggregate principal balance, annual percentage rate and remaining term to maturity as of the cutoff date such that each hypothetical pool set forth below will be fully amortized by the end of its remaining term to maturity.
