DBRS Confirms Banc of America Re-REMIC Trust 2010-UBER4

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS) has today confirmed the rating of the following Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates issued by Banc of America Re-REMIC Trust 2010-UBER4 (the Trust):

-- Class A-4B at AAA (sf)

The trend is Stable.

The rating confirmation reflects the improved credit characteristics of the underlying commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) bond as a result of scheduled loan amortization, successful loan repayment, proceeds recovered from specially serviced loans and stabilizing cash flows on performing loans. The transaction was originally collateralized by the beneficial interests in eight super-senior commercial mortgage-backed pass-through certificates from eight underlying transactions that were securitized in 2004. As of the April 2017 remittance, the remaining contributing CMBS certificates are as follows:

-- JPMCC 2004-LN2, Class A-2

The transaction is a senior/subordinate pass through, providing a sequential-pay structure intended to contain any potential losses within Class A-4B. The underlying certificates have been pooled together within the Trust structure. If significant losses were to occur in one of the underlying transactions and its corresponding certificate, the losses would not be offset by the credit enhancement provided by the other underlying certificates within this Trust. As such, DBRS analyzed the remaining underlying transaction and rated Class A-4B to a first-dollar loss scenario reflective of the lowest rating of the underlying contributed classes. Although DBRS does not publicly rate this underlying transaction, a detailed level of analysis was performed.

DBRS analyzed the underlying certificate based on the performance of the underlying loans and the transaction structure. DBRS modeled the transaction and, in its review, focused on the larger assets, the specially serviced loans and the loans on the servicer’s watchlist in an effort to most appropriately model the pivotal loans within the transactions that carry a higher likelihood of default. To simulate realized losses expected on all delinquent loans, including 30-day delinquencies, DBRS either modeled these loans with 100% probability of default and the corresponding loss severity, reflective of debt yield derived by using the most recent loan-level cash flow, or ran a liquidation scenario using a haircut to the latest appraisal to account for additional expenses and/or potential future value decline.

The resulting weighted-average credit enhancement requirements for all the loans in the underlying pool, at each respective rating category, were then compared with the actual credit enhancement provided to the contributed certificate within the underlying CMBS structure. Based on that comparison, the rating confirmation was appropriate.

The rating is dependent on the continued performance of the underlying transaction. Class A-4B has a $24,144 interest shortfall, which is the result of additional trust expenses. DBRS confirmed with the trustee that the shortfall is not a result of the credit profile of the underlying CMBS bond. The DBRS rating does not address the likelihood of additional trust fund expenses; however, DBRS has added the Interest in Arrears designation to the affected class.
