Fitch Rates Wells Fargo Stage Trust, Series 2009-44C Floater & Residual Certificates

NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Fitch Ratings assigns a rating of 'AA-/F1+' to the floater certificates and a
rating of 'AA-' to the residual certificates of Wells Fargo Stage Trust series
2009-44C. The long-term 'AA-' rating is based on the rating that Fitch has
assigned to the custody level credit enhancement provided by Wells Fargo &
Company (currently rated 'AA-/F1+') securing the custodial receipts deposited
into the Trust. The short-term 'F1+' rating is based on the liquidity facility
provided by Wells Fargo & Company. The 'F1+' rating will expire on July 15,
2010, the expiration date of the liquidity facility, unless such date is
extended or earlier terminated.

Fitch's rating definitions and the terms of use of such ratings are available on
the agency's public site, www.fitchratings.com. Published ratings, criteria and
methodologies are available from this site, at all times. Fitch's code of
