VIII. 2018-B Methodology Since Issued Total CPR TOTAL CPR = 1 APB PPB 12 MSC APB = Actual period-end Pool Balance PPB = Projected period-end Pool Balance assuming no prepayments and no defaults Pool Balance = Sum(Principal Balance + Interest Accrued to Capitalize Balance) MSC = Months Since Cut-Off Since-Issued Total Constant Prepayment Rate (CPR) Since-Issued Total CPR measures prepayments, both voluntary and involuntary, for a trust student loan pool over the life of a transaction. For each trust distribution, the actual month-end pool balance is compared against a month-end pool balance originally projected at issuance assuming no prepayments and defaults. For purposes of Since-Issued Total CPR calculations, projected period end pool balance assumes in-school status loans have up to a six month grace period before moving to repayment, grace status loans remain in grace status until their status end date and then to move to full principal and interest repayment, loans subject to interim interest or fixed payments during their in-school and grace period continue paying interim interest or fixed payments until full principal and interest repayment begins, all other trust loans are in full principal and interest repayment status, and that no trust loan in full principal and interest repayment moves from full principal and interest repayment status to any other status.
