Which of the following conditions would typically PREVENT this step-down from occurring?

- The Class A-1 senior money market tranche has been fully retired on its scheduled amortization timetable.
- The prepayment speed, measured in ABS%, has increased from 1.0% to 1.4% amid a strong used car resale market.
- The reserve account remains fully funded at its required target level of 0.50% of the initial pool balance today.
