  Certificates

Business Wire

NEW YORK -- December 13, 2012

Fitch Ratings assigns the following ratings to the floater certificates and
residual certificates of the Wells Fargo Stage Trust series listed below:

--Series 2012-105C floaters 'AA+/F1+'; Stable Outlook;

--Residuals AA+'; Stable Outlook.

The long-term 'AA+'; Stable Outlook ratings assigned to the series 2012-105C
floaters and residuals are based on the rating that Fitch has assigned to the
New York City Municipal Water Finance Authority Water and Sewer System Second
General Resolution Revenue Bonds, Fiscal 2013 Series BB (rated 'AA+'; Stable
Outlook by Fitch) that have been deposited in the trust.

The 'F1+' short-term rating assigned to the floaters is based on the liquidity
facility provided by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (rated 'AA-/F1+'; Stable Outlook).
The short-term rating will expire on Dec. 12, 2013, the expiration date of the
liquidity facility, unless such date is extended or earlier terminated.

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.
