Announcement:

Moody's Affirms All Classes of Sorin Real Estate CDO IV

15 Dec 2011

Approximately $299.9 Million of Structured Securities Affected

New York, December 15, 2011 -- Moody's has affirmed the ratings of all classes of Notes issued by Sorin Real Estate CDO IV Ltd. due to key transaction parameters performing within levels commensurate with the existing ratings levels. The rating action is the result of Moody's on-going surveillance of commercial real estate collateralized debt obligation and collateralized loan obligation (CRE CDO CLO) transactions.

Cl. A-1, Affirmed at Baa2 (sf); previously on Dec 15, 2010 Downgraded to Baa2 (sf)

RATINGS RATIONALE

Sorin Real Estate CDO IV Ltd. is a static (the Reinvestment Period ended in October 2011) cash CRE CDO. As of the October 2011 Trustee report, the transaction is backed by a portfolio of whole loans (20.9% of the pool balance), B-Notes (23.1%), mezzanine loans (9.9%), commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) (37.9%), CRE CDO debt (1.3%), and Rake bond (6.9%). The aggregate Note balance of the transaction, including Income Notes, has decreased to $337.5 million from $400 million at issuance, with paydown directed to Class A1 Notes, as a result of the combination of amortization of assets, resolutions and sales of Defaulted Securities, and failing certain principal coverage tests. Currently, the transaction is under-collateralized by $26.7 million (6.7% of original aggregate Note balance) mainly due to realized losses.

There are nine assets with a par balance of $77.8 million (25.0% of the current pool balance) that are considered Defaulted Securities as of the October 2011 Trustee report, compared to thirteen assets (29.0% of the pool balance) at last review. We are expecting moderate to high losses to occur once they are realized.

Moody's has identified the following parameters as key indicators of the expected loss within CRE CDO transactions: weighted average rating factor (WARF), weighted average life (WAL), weighted average recovery rate (WARR), and Moody's asset correlation (MAC). These parameters are typically modeled as actual parameters for static deals and as covenants for managed deals.

WARF is a primary measure of the credit quality of a CRE CDO pool. We have updated credit estimates for the non-Moody's rated collateral. The bottom-dollar WARF is a measure of the default probability within a collateral pool. Moody's modeled a bottom-dollar WARF of 4,489 compared to 5,149 at last review. The distribution of current ratings and credit estimates is as follows: Aaa-Aa3 (16.3% compared to 14.1% at last review), A1-A3 (0.0% compared to 3.2% at last review), Baa1-Baa3 (13.2% compared to 15.9% at last review), Ba1-Ba3 (3.4% compared to 0.0% at last review), B1-B3 (9.8% compared to 10.2% at last review), and Caa1-C (57.3% compared to 56.6% at last review).

WAL acts to adjust the probability of default of the collateral in the pool for time. Moody's modeled to a WAL of 3.2 years compared to 4.0 at last review.

WARR is the par-weighted average of the mean recovery values for the collateral assets in the pool. Moody's modeled a fixed WARR of 24.5% compared to 30.0% at last review.

MAC is a single factor that describes the pair-wise asset correlation to the default distribution among the instruments within the collateral pool (i.e. the measure of diversity). Moody's modeled a MAC of 16.3% compared to 9.0% at last review.

Moody's review incorporated CDOROM® v2.8, one of Moody's CDO rating models, which was released on January 24, 2011.

The cash flow model, CDOEdge® v3.2.1.0, was used to analyze the cash flow waterfall and its effect on the capital structure of the deal.

Changes in any one or combination of the key parameters may have rating implications on certain classes of rated notes. However, in many instances, a change in key parameter assumptions in certain stress scenarios may be offset by a change in one or more of the other key parameters. Rated notes are particularly sensitive to changes in recovery rate assumptions. Holding all other key parameters static, changing the recovery rate assumption down from 24.5% to 14.5% or up to 34.5% would result in average rating movement on the rated tranches of 0 to 2 notches downward and 0 to 2 notches upward, respectively.

The performance expectations for a given variable indicate Moody's forward-looking view of the likely range of performance over the medium term. From time to time, Moody's may, if warranted, change these expectations. Performance that falls outside the given range may indicate that the collateral's credit quality is stronger or weaker than Moody's had anticipated when the related securities ratings were issued. Even so, a deviation from the expected range will not necessarily result in a rating action nor does performance within expectations preclude such actions. The decision to take (or not take) a rating action is dependent on an assessment of a range of factors including, but not exclusively, the performance metrics. Primary sources of assumption uncertainty are the current sluggish macroeconomic environment and performance in the commercial real estate property markets. While commercial real estate property markets are gaining momentum, a consistent upward trend will not be evident until the volume of transactions increases, distressed properties are cleared from the pipeline and job creation rebounds. The hotel and multifamily sectors are continuing to show signs of recovery through the first half of 2011, while recovery in the non-core office and retail sectors are tied to pace of recovery of the broader economy. Core office markets are showing signs of recovery through lending and leasing activity. The availability of debt capital continues to improve with terms returning toward market norms. Moody's central global macroeconomic scenario reflects an overall sluggish recovery as the most likely scenario through 2012, amidst ongoing individual, corporate and governmental deleveraging, persistent unemployment, and government budget considerations, however the downside risks to the outlook have risen since last quarter.

The methodologies used in this rating were "Moody's Approach to Rating SF CDOs" published in November 2010, and "Moody's Approach to Rating Commercial Real Estate CDOs" published in July 2011. Please see the Credit Policy page on www.moodys.com for a copy of these methodologies.

REGULATORY DISCLOSURES

Although this credit rating has been issued in a non-EU country which has not been recognized as endorsable at this date, this credit rating is deemed "EU qualified by extension" and may still be used by financial institutions for regulatory purposes until 31 January 2012. ESMA may extend the use of credit ratings for regulatory purposes in the European Community for three additional months, until 30 April 2012, if ESMA decides that exceptional circumstances arise that may imply potential market disruption or financial instability. Further information on the EU endorsement status and on the Moody's office that has issued a particular Credit Rating is available on www.moodys.com.

For ratings issued on a program, series or category/class of debt, this announcement provides relevant regulatory disclosures in relation to each rating of a subsequently issued bond or note of the same series or category/class of debt or pursuant to a program for which the ratings are derived exclusively from existing ratings in accordance with Moody's rating practices. For ratings issued on a support provider, this announcement provides relevant regulatory disclosures in relation to the rating action on the support provider and in relation to each particular rating action for securities that derive their credit ratings from the support provider's credit rating. For provisional ratings, this announcement provides relevant regulatory disclosures in relation to the provisional rating assigned, and in relation to a definitive rating that may be assigned subsequent to the final issuance of the debt, in each case where the transaction structure and terms have not changed prior to the assignment of the definitive rating in a manner that would have affected the rating. For further information please see the ratings tab on the issuer/entity page for the respective issuer on www.moodys.com.

Moody's considers the quality of information available on the rated entity, obligation or credit satisfactory for the purposes of issuing a rating.

Moody's adopts all necessary measures so that the information it uses in assigning a rating is of sufficient quality and from sources Moody's considers to be reliable including, when appropriate, independent third-party sources.

Please see Moody's Rating Symbols and Definitions on the Rating Process page on www.moodys.com for further information on the meaning of each rating category and the definition of default and recovery.

Please see ratings tab on the issuer/entity page on www.moodys.com for the last rating action and the rating history. The date on which some ratings were first released goes back to a time before Moody's ratings were fully digitized and accurate data may not be available.
