Rating Action:

Moody's assigns definitive ratings to DBUBS 2011-LC1

01 Mar 2011

Approximately $2.11 Billion of Structured Securities Affected

New York, March 01, 2011 -- Moody's Investors Service has assigned definitive ratings to 11 classes of CMBS securities, issued by DBUBS 2011-LC1, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates Series 2011-LC1.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The Certificates are collateralized by 47 fixed rate loans secured by 83 properties. The ratings are based on the collateral and the structure of the transaction.

Moody's CMBS ratings methodology combines both commercial real estate and structured finance analysis. Based on commercial real estate analysis, Moody's determines the credit quality of each mortgage loan and calculates an expected loss on a loan specific basis. Under structured finance, the credit enhancement for each certificate typically depends on the expected frequency, severity, and timing of future losses. Moody's also considers a range of qualitative issues as well as the transaction's structural and legal aspects.

The credit risk of loans is determined primarily by two factors: 1) Moody's assessment of the probability of default, which is largely driven by each loan's DSCR, and 2) Moody's assessment of the severity of loss upon a default, which is largely driven by each loan's LTV ratio. The Moody's Actual DSCR of 1.43X is higher than the 2007 conduit/fusion transaction average of 1.31X. The Moody's Stressed DSCR of 1.07X is higher than the 2007 conduit/fusion transaction average of 0.92X. Moody's Trust LTV ratio of 94.0% is lower than the 2007 conduit/fusion transaction average of 110.6%. Moody's Total LTV ratio (inclusive of subordinated debt) of 97.7% is also considered when analyzing various stress scenarios for the rated debt.

Moody's also considers both loan level diversity and property level diversity when selecting a ratings approach. With respect to loan level diversity, the pool's loan level Herfindahl score is 18. With respect to property level diversity, the pool's property level Herfindahl score is 19. The transaction is concentrated relative to previously rated conduit and fusion transactions but more diverse than previously rated large loan transactions. As a result, Moody's approach to rating the deal incorporated a blend of both Moody's conduit and large loan rating methodologies.

Properties located in major markets represent approximately 91.2% of the pool balance. Additionally, Moody's Red-Yellow-Green™ analysis covers properties representing 83.3% of the pool balance. The tertiary market share of 8.8% is amongst the lowest exposures Moody's has observed in its rated conduit and fusion universe. Properties situated in major markets tend to exhibit more cash flow and cap rate stability over time compared to assets located in tertiary markets.

Moody's also grades properties on a scale of 1 to 5 (best to worst) and considers those grades when assessing the likelihood of debt payment. The factors considered include property age, quality of construction, location, market, and tenancy. The pool's weighted average property quality grade is 1.8, which is lower than the average of recently rated conduit deals. The low weighted average grade is indicative of the strong market composition of the pool and the stability of the cash flows underlying the assets.

The transaction benefits from two loans, representing approximately 11.3% of the pool balance in aggregate, assigned an investment grade credit estimate. Loans assigned investment grade credit estimates are not expected to contribute any loss to a transaction in low stress scenarios, but are expected to contribute minimal amounts of loss in high stress scenarios.

The principal methodology used in this rating was "CMBS: Moody's Approach to Rating Fusion Transactions" published in April 2005.

In addition, Moody's publishes a weekly summary of structured finance credit, ratings and methodologies, available to all registered users of our website, at www.moodys.com/SFQuickCheck.

Moody's analysis employs the excel-based CMBS Conduit Model v2.50 which derives credit enhancement levels based on an aggregation of adjusted loan level proceeds derived from Moody's loan level DSCR and LTV ratios. Major adjustments to determining proceeds include loan structure, property type, sponsorship and diversity.

The V Score for this transaction is assessed as Low/Medium, the same as the V score assigned to the U.S. Conduit and CMBS sector. This reflects typical volatility with respect to the critical assumptions used in the rating process as well as an average disclosure of securitization collateral and ongoing performance.

Moody's V Scores provide a relative assessment of the quality of available credit information and the potential variability around the various inputs to a rating determination. The V Score ranks transactions by the potential for significant rating changes owing to uncertainty around the assumptions due to data quality, historical performance, the level of disclosure, transaction complexity, the modeling, and the transaction governance that underlie the ratings. V Scores apply to the entire transaction (rather than individual tranches).

Moody's Parameter Sensitivities: If Moody's value of the collateral used in determining the initial rating were decreased by 5%, 15%, or 23%, the model-indicated rating for the currently rated Aaa classes would be Aa1, Aa3, and A1,

respectively. Parameter Sensitivities are not intended to measure how the rating of the security might migrate over time; rather they are designed to provide a quantitative calculation of how the initial rating might change if key input parameters used in the initial rating process differed. The analysis assumes that the deal has not aged. Parameter Sensitivities only reflect the ratings impact of each scenario from a quantitative/model-indicated standpoint. Qualitative factors are also taken into consideration in the ratings process, so the actual ratings that would be assigned in each case could vary from the information presented in the Parameter Sensitivity analysis.

Moody's Investors Service received and took into account one or more third party due diligence reports on the underlying assets or financial instruments in this transaction and the due diligence reports had a neutral impact on the rating.

REGULATORY DISCLOSURES

Information sources used to prepare the credit rating are the following: parties involved in the ratings, parties not involved in the ratings, public information, and confidential and proprietary Moody's Investors Service's information.

Moody's considers the quality of information available on the issuer or obligation satisfactory for the purposes of assigning a credit rating.

Moody's adopts all necessary measures so that the information it uses in assigning a credit rating is of sufficient quality and from sources Moody's considers to be reliable including, when appropriate, independent third-party sources. However, Moody's is not an auditor and cannot in every instance independently verify or validate information received in the rating process.

Please see ratings tab on the issuer/entity page on Moodys.com for the last rating action and the rating history.

The date on which some Credit Ratings were first released goes back to a time before Moody's Investors Service's Credit Ratings were fully digitized and accurate data may not be available. Consequently, Moody's Investors Service provides a date that it believes is the most reliable and accurate based on the information that is available to it. Please see the ratings disclosure page on our website www.moodys.com for further information.
