--Floater Receipts, Series 2015-XF0152 - 'AA/F1', Stable Outlook; Residual Receipts, Series 2015-XF0152 -'AA', Stable Outlook;

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The long-term 'AA', Stable Outlook ratings assigned to the series 2015-XF0152 Floater Receipts and series 2015-XF0152 Residual Receipts are based on the ratings that Fitch has assigned to California Health Facilities Financing Authority revenue bonds (Lucile Salter Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford), 2012 series A and 2014 series A (rated 'AA', Stable Outlook) that have been deposited in the series 2015-XF0152 trust.

The long-term 'AA', Stable Outlook ratings assigned to the series 2015-XF0153 Floater Receipts and series 2015-XF0153 Residual Receipts are based on the ratings that Fitch has assigned to Washington Health Care Facilities Authority revenue bonds series 2010A and 2012A (Seattle Children's Hospital) (rated 'AA', Stable Outlook) that have been deposited in the series 2015-XF0153 trust.

The long-term 'AA-', Rating Watch Negative ratings assigned to the series 2015-ZF0170 Floater Receipts and series 2015-ZF0170 Residual Receipts are based on the ratings that Fitch has assigned to El Paso County Hospital District combination tax and revenue receipts of obligation, series 2013 (rated 'AA-', Rating Watch Negative) that have been deposited in the series 2015-ZF0170 trust.

The short-term 'F1' rating assigned to the series 2015-XF0152 and 2015-XF0153 Floater Receipts is based on the liquidity facilities provided by Bank of America, N.A. (rated 'A+/F1', Stable Outlook). The short-term 'F1+' rating assigned to the series 2015-ZF0170 Floater Receipts is based on the liquidity facility provided by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (rated 'AA-/F1+', Stable Outlook). The short-term ratings assigned to the Floater Receipts will expire on May 15, 2016, the expiration date of all the liquidity facilities, unless such date is extended or earlier terminated.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

The short-term rating assigned to the Floater Receipts reflects the short-term rating that Fitch maintains on the bank providing liquidity support and will be adjusted upward or downward in conjunction with the short-term rating of the bank, and, in some cases, the long-term rating of the underlying bonds deposited in the trust. The long-term ratings assigned to the Floater Receipts and Residual Receipts are exclusively tied to the creditworthiness of the underlying bonds deposited in the trust and will reflect all changes to that rating.
