ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE ITEMS FOR REGULATION AB

The Meadowood Mall Mortgage Loan (Loan # 1 on Annex A to the prospectus supplement of the Registrant relating to the issuing entity filed on February 6, 2012 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5)) constitutes a significant obligor within the meaning of Item 1101(k)(2) of Regulation AB. In accordance with Item 1112(b) of Regulation AB, the most recent unaudited net operating income of the significant obligor was $14,745,829.43 for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2014.

Item 1114(b)(2) of Regulation AB, Significant Enhancement Provider Financial Information.

Item 1115(b) of Regulation AB, Certain Derivatives Instruments (Financial Information).

No entity or group of affiliated entities provides any derivative instruments or other support for the certificates within this transaction as described under Item 1115 of Regulation AB.

Item 1117 of Regulation AB, Legal Proceedings.

The registrant knows of no material pending legal proceedings involving the Trust and all parties related to such Trust, other than routine litigation incidental to the duties of those respective parties, and the following, with respect to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee:  

On June 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors filed a civil complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in its capacity as trustee under 276 residential mortgage backed securities ("RMBS") trusts, which was later amended on July 18, 2014, to increase the number of trusts to 284 RMBS trusts. On November 24, 2014, the plaintiffs filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss the state court action without prejudice. That same day, a group of institutional investors filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., alleging claims against the bank in its capacity as trustee for 274 RMBS trusts (the “Complaint”). In December 2014, the plaintiffs’ motion to voluntarily dismiss their original state court action was granted.  As with the prior state court action, the Complaint is one of six similar complaints filed contemporaneously against RMBS trustees (Deutsche Bank, Citibank, HSBC, Bank of New York Mellon and US Bank) by a group of institutional investor plaintiffs. The Complaint against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. alleges that the trustee caused losses to investors and asserts causes of action based upon, among other things, the trustee's alleged failure to (i) enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties, (ii) notify investors of alleged events of default purportedly caused by breaches by mortgage loan servicers, and (iii) abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Relief sought includes money damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement of expenses, and equitable relief. Other cases alleging similar causes of action have been filed against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and other trustees by RMBS investors in these and other transactions. There can be no assurances as to the outcome of the litigation, or the possible impact of the litigation on the trustee or the RMBS trusts. However, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. denies liability and believes that it has performed its obligations under the RMBS trusts in good faith, that its actions were not the cause of any losses to investors, and that it has meritorious defenses, and it intends to contest the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously.

Item 1119 of Regulation AB, Affiliations and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

The information regarding this Item has been previously disclosed in a Prospectus Supplement of the registrant relating to the issuing entity filed on February 6, 2012 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5).

Item 1122 of Regulation AB, Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria. 

The reports on assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria for asset-backed securities and the related attestation reports on such assessments of compliance are attached hereto under Item 15. Attached as Exhibit O to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K is a chart identifying the entities participating in a servicing function for the transaction responsible for each applicable servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d).

Management’s assessment of compliance with Regulation AB servicing criteria furnished pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB by KeyBank National Association (Key) attached to this Annual Report on Form 10-K as Exhibit 33.1 (the “KeyBank Assessment”)  identified the following material instances of noncompliance with servicing criteria 1122(d)(4)(xv) during the calendar year ended December 31, 2014 with respect to commercial mortgage loans.

1)             Servicing Criteria impacted

1122(d)(4)(xv) –Any external enhancement or other support, identified in Item1114(a)(1) through (3) or item 1115 of Regulation AB, is maintained as set forth in the transaction agreements.

2)             Material Instances of Noncompliance with Servicing Criteria

Regarding external enhancements, specifically letters of credit, upon transfer of the servicing of the mortgage loans to KeyBank from the previous servicer, KeyBank was not properly named as the beneficiary on certain letters of credit because of deficiencies in policies and procedures relating to changes in named beneficiary.  KeyBank identified eighty mortgage loans that did not properly name KeyBank as beneficiary on the letters of credit.

3)             Remediation

The following remediation procedures have been initiated by KeyBank: (i) the impacted mortgage loans have been identified, (ii) borrower contact has been initiated, (iii) corrective actions are underway and are being tracked and monitored by senior management, (iv) procedures have been revised to include new tracking and action steps to prevent this situation from reoccurring in the future, and (v) training has been provided to the relevant staff members to prevent a recurrence, and (vi) updates will be made to software systems to assist staff members with compliance.

As of the date of the KeyBank Assessment, there are thirty-one mortgage loans contained within fourteen transactions for which the beneficiary name on the letters of credit still needs to be corrected.  The fourteen transactions are listed below, with the following information with respect to each transaction: the number of impacted mortgage loans to be corrected included in such transaction, and the aggregate amount of the letters of credit related to such impacted mortgage loans to be corrected.
