DBRS, Inc. (DBRS) has today confirmed the rating of A (low) (sf) on the Series 2012-12 Class A-1 Notes and Series 2012-12 Class A-2 Notes issued by LStreet II, LLC, and has also assigned a new rating of A (low) (sf) to the Series 2012-12 Class A-3 Notes (together, the Series 2012-12 Class A Notes) issued pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Series 2012-12 Supplement to the Base Indenture dated as of November 13, 2014.

For the avoidance of doubt, the above DBRS ratings address the ultimate payment of the Series 2012-12 Class A-1 Principal, Series 2012-12 Class A-2 Principal and Series 2012-12 Class A-3 Principal (initial par of $80,000,000 as of October 25, 2012; $70,000,000 as of September 20, 2013; and $15,000,000 as of November 13, 2014, respectively), and the timely payment of the Series 2012-12 Class A-1 Interest, the Series 2012-12 Class A-2 Interest and the Series 2012-12 Class A-3 Interest (three-month LIBOR plus 0.33% per annum for all Series 2012-12 Class A Notes).
