during the period ended June 30, 2012. The expected cash flows on these two securities were less then the amortized cost basis
of those securities At June 30, 2012. The other-than-temporary impairment amounts on the RALI A1 and the CWALT for the current
period are indicated in Appendix A of the June 30, 2012 analysis performed by Wilary Winn Risk Management LLC (included as Exhibit
3 to our previous correspondence date November 8, 2012), and the actual other-than-temporarily impairment amounts to be realized
as credit losses during the current period are shown in Appendix C of Wilary Winn&rsquo;s June 30, 2012 analysis. These additional
credit losses were recognized in income during the period quarter ended June 30, 2012. </I></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><I>The analysis performed by Wilary Winn Risk Management allows
for a 1.00% tolerance in the difference between the value yield ( present value of cash flows compared to par value) and the book
value (difference between amortized cost and par value). In contrast to the RALI A1 and the CWALT in which the difference between
these 2 yields is greater than 1.00% (see Appendix A in the Wilary Winn June 30, 2012 report included previously as Exhibit 3 to
our correspondence date November 8, 2012), the difference between these 2 yields for the RALI A10 is 0.959 which is within the
tolerance level allowed within the model. As a result, there was no additional credit loss recognized on the RALI A10 for the quarter
ended June 30, 2012. Had the model not allowed for a 1.00% tolerance, the pre-tax credit loss recognized in earnings would have
been approximately $36,806 (based upon book price 78.3277 less value yield of 77.3687 divided by par value of $3,837,961).</I></P>
