DBRS has today assigned a rating of AA to the Syndicated Loans up to the Total Commitment Amount of $612,700,000 to be made by the Lenders to JFIN Funding LLC (“JFIN”). JFIN is collateralized primarily by a portfolio of U.S. middle market corporate loans and other corporate obligations.

The rating reflects the following:

(1) The Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of June 14, 2010.

(2) The integrity of the transaction structure.

(3) DBRS’s assessment of portfolio quality.

(4) Adequate credit enhancement to withstand projected collateral loss rates under various cash flow stress scenarios.
