DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) discontinued the ratings of the Series 2012-15 Class A-1 Notes, Series 2012-15 Class A-2 Notes, Series 2012-15 Class A-3 Notes, Series 2012-15 Class A-4 Notes, Series 2012-15 Class A-5 Notes, and Series 2012-15 Class A-6 Notes (collectively, the Class A Notes) issued by LStreet II, LLC. The discontinuation reflects the repayment in full of the Class A Notes.

The Class A Notes were collateralized by the Class A-1 Notes of Summer Street 2005-HG1, Ltd., which was itself collateralized primarily by a pool of subprime and Alt-A residential mortgage-backed securities.

The ratings addressed (1) the likelihood of the Series 2012-15 Class A noteholders receiving all principal distributions, which such noteholders are entitled to, and (2) the likelihood of the Series 2012-15 Class A Noteholders receiving the amount of the Series 2012-15 Class A Interest, which such noteholders were entitled in each case, to the extent payable to the Series 2012-15 Class A Notes in accordance with the priorities of payment outlined in the Amended and Restated Series 2012-15 Supplement to the Base Indenture on or before the Final Maturity Date in December 2045.

For the avoidance of doubt, these DBRS Morningstar ratings addressed the ultimate payment of the Series 2012-15 Class A-1 Principal, Series 2012-15 Class A-2 Principal, Series 2012-15 Class A-3 Principal, Series 2012-15 Class A-4 Principal, Series 2012-15 Class A-5 Principal, and Series 2012-15 Class A-6 Principal (initial par of $64,000,000 as at December 18, 2012; $24,000,000 as at March 21, 2014; $17,000,000 as at January 22, 2015; $18,000,000 as at December 11, 2015; $77,000,000 as at April 24, 2017; and 17,000,000 as of December 6, 2017, respectively), and the timely payment of the Series 2012-15 Class A-1 Interest, Series 2012-15 Class A-2 Interest, Series 2012-15 Class A-3 Interest, Series 2012-15 Class A-4 Interest, Series 2012-15 Class A-5 Interest, and Series 2012-15 Class A-6 Interest (three-month Libor plus 0.23% per annum for all Series 2012-15 Class A Notes).

The DBRS Morningstar ratings did not address any other amounts that may be paid to the Class A noteholders, including, but not limited to, the Series 2012-15 Class A-1 Additional Amount, Series 2012-15 Class A-2 Additional Amount, Series 2012-15 Class A-3 Additional Amount, Series 2012-15 Class A-4 Additional Amount, Series 2012-15 Class A-5 Additional Amount, or Series 2012-15 Class A-6 Additional Amount.
