  Fitch Assigns Initial CMBS Special Servicer Rating to Rialto Capital
  Advisors, LLC

Business Wire

NEW YORK -- June 22, 2012

Fitch Ratings assigns Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC (RCA) an initial commercial
mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) special servicer rating of 'CSS2-'. RCA is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Rialto Capital Management, LLC (Rialto), which is a
subsidiary of Lennar Corporation.

RCA's special servicer rating is based on Fitch's assessment of RCA's
management team, asset management capabilities, investment in technology, and
ability to leverage its parent Lennar Corporation.

As of March 31, 2012, RCA's active special servicing portfolio encompassed
6,971 loans totaling $4.4 billion of unpaid principal balance (UPB). Included
within are 2,075 real estate owned (REO) assets representing approximately $2
billion UPB. About 64% of the loans are on vacant land (46%) or residential
properties (18%). In March 2012 RCA was named asset manager of Rialto Capital,
Series 2012-LT1, which included 271 performing and nonperforming mortgages
securing 266 properties, 11 unsecured loans, and 38 properties acquired
through foreclosure.

The servicer rating is based on the methodology described in Fitch's reports
'U.S. Commercial Mortgage Servicer Rating Criteria,' dated Feb. 18, 2011, and
'Global Rating Criteria for Structured Finance Servicers' dated Aug. 16, 2010,
available on Fitch's web site www.fitchratings.com.

Additional information is available at 'www.fitchratings.com'. The ratings
above were solicited by, or on behalf of, the issuer, and therefore, Fitch has
been compensated for the provision of the ratings.
