NEW YORK (Standard & Poor's) Dec. 7, 2012--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services
today lowered its rating on the class J trust pass-through certificates from
GS Mortgage Securities Corp. II's series 2005-ROCK, a U.S. commercial
mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) transaction, and removed it from CreditWatch
with negative implications. At the same time, we affirmed our ratings on 11
other classes and removed seven of them from CreditWatch with negative
implications, where we placed them on Sept. 5, 2012 (see list).

Today's rating actions follow our analysis of the transaction using our
recently updated criteria for rating U.S. and Canadian CMBS transactions, and
the application of the criteria was the primary driver of the rating actions.
The analysis of stand-alone (single borrower) transactions is predominantly a
recovery-based approach that assumes a loan default. Reflecting this approach,
our property-level analysis included a revaluation of a portfolio of 12
individual office/retail properties and plaza totaling 6.6 million sq. ft. in
midtown Manhattan (Rockefeller Center). The mortgage loan in the trust is
secured by a first priority mortgage (up to a maximum of $1.21 billion) on the
fee and leasehold interests of the borrower in Rockefeller Center and a first
priority pledge of all of the equity interests in the borrower. Based on our
analysis, we derived our sustainable net cash flow, which we then divided by a
capitalization rate of 6.25% to determine our expected-case value. This
yielded a loan-to-value ratio of 42.1%.

We based the downgrade of class J to 'BB+ (sf)' on our recently updated
criteria for rating U.S. and Canadian CMBS transactions, which applies a
credit enhancement minimum equal to 1% of the transaction or loan amount to
address the potential for unexpected trust expenses that may be incurred
during the life of the loan or transaction. These potential unexpected trust
expenses may include servicer fees, servicer advances, workout or corrected
mortgage fees, and potential trust legal fees.

The affirmed ratings on the principal and interest certificate classes reflect
subordination and liquidity support levels that are consistent with the
outstanding ratings. We tempered our rating actions because the mortgage is
recorded at $1.21 billion and the maximum amount recoverable in a mortgage
foreclosure action may not be sufficient to repay the loan. Any amount over
$1.21 billion would be considered unsecured debt of the borrower.
Additionally, in connection with a foreclosure on the equity pledge before a
foreclosure on the mortgage, significant real property transfer tax would be
payable by the trust because the resulting transfer would be treated as a
transfer of property under New York law.

We affirmed our 'AAA (sf)' rating on the class X-1 interest-only (IO)
certificates based on our current criteria.

We based our analysis, in part, on a review of the borrower's operating
statements for the collateral office/retail properties for the nine months
ended Sept. 30, 2012, year-end 2011 and 2010, and the June 2012 rent rolls.
The master servicer, Wells Fargo Bank N.A., reported an overall occupancy of
94.1% as of June 30, 2012, and a debt service coverage of 2.23x for the same
reporting period.

As of the Dec. 3, 2012, trustee remittance report, the mortgage loan has a
trust and whole loan balance of $1.685 billion. In addition, the equity
interests in the borrower of the whole loan secure a subordinate mezzanine
loan totaling $320.0 million. The mortgage loan is IO, pays interest based on
5.6435% per annum, and matures on May 1, 2025.
