KEY RATING DRIVERS
The affirmations are based on continued positive trust performance and robust breakeven multiples. Fitch has maintained the Stable Outlook on the notes due to the strong trust performance and ability to generate robust excess spread.

Over the past 12 months, gross yield has been performing within Fitch's steady-state expectations. As of the November 2015 reporting period, the 12-month average gross yield was 16.19% compared to the 12-month average of 15.60% as of the November 2014 reporting period.

Gross charge-offs have improved over the past year, with the 12-month average gross charge-off rate as of the November 2015 reporting period at 3.25%, versus a 12-month average gross charge-off rate of 3.83% as of the November 2014 reporting period.

Sixty-plus-day delinquencies continued to fall as well, hitting a low of 1.11% in the September 2015 reporting period, before rising to 1.20% as of the November 2015 reporting period. This is still below the sixty-plus-day delinquency level of 1.38% as of the November 2014 reporting period.

Monthly payment rate (MPR), a measure of how quickly consumers are paying off their debt, has remained relatively stable over the past year. The current 12-month average was 16.98%, compared to 16.89% a year ago.

Fitch runs cash flow breakeven analysis by applying stress scenarios to 3-, 6-, and 12-month average performance to test that under the stressed conditions, the transaction can withstand a level of losses commensurate with the risk associated to a rating level with the available credit enhancement. The variables that Fitch stresses are the gross yield, MPR, gross charge-off, and purchase rates. The break-even loss level output for the notes provides an indication of the remoteness of the class of notes to stressed performance deterioration. For further information, please review Fitch's U.S. Credit Card ABS Issuance updates published on a monthly basis.

The affirmations are based on the performance of the trusts in line with expectations. The Stable Outlook on the senior notes indicates that Fitch expects the ratings will remain stable for the next one to two years.

Fitch's analysis included a comparison of observed performance trends over the past few months to Fitch's base case expectations for each outstanding rating category. As part of its ongoing surveillance efforts, Fitch will continue to monitor the performance of this trust.

RATING SENSITIVITIES
Fitch models three different scenarios when evaluating the rating sensitivity compared to expected performance for credit card asset-backed securities transactions: 1) increased defaults; 2) a reduction in purchase rate, and 3) a combination stress of higher defaults and lower MPR.

Increasing defaults alone has no impact on rating migration even in the most severe scenario of a 75% increase in defaults. The rating sensitivity to a reduction in purchase rate also does not result in rating migration even in the most severe scenario of a 100% reduction in purchase rate. The harshest scenario assumes both stresses to defaults and MPR to occur simultaneously. The ratings would only be downgraded under the severe stress of a 75% increase in defaults and 40% reduction in MPR. To date, the transactions have exhibited strong performance with all performance metrics within Fitch's initial expectations. For further discussion of sensitivity analysis, please see the new issue report related to one of the transactions listed above.
