**EXPLANATORY NOTES**

 

Exceptas set forth below, each of the parties to each pooling and servicing agreementlisted in the Exhibit Index both (1) participates in the servicing function forpurposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB and (2) constitutes a servicer thatmeets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) of Regulation AB forpurposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB:

 

•The trustee under a pooling and servicing agreement has a nominal role with respectto the mortgage pool securitized pursuant to such pooling and servicingagreement. The trustee’s only servicing function is the contingentobligation to make certain advances if the master servicer under such poolingand servicing agreement fails to do so, while all other servicing functions areperformed by other parties. The trustee under each of the pooling and servicingagreements listed in the Exhibit Index has confirmed to the registrant that ithas not made any such contingent advances during the reporting period, andconsequently, each such trustee does not participate in the servicing functionfor purposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, nor does it perform the functionsof a servicer for purposes of the definition of “servicer” underItem 1101 of Regulation AB or for purposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB.

 

•The operating advisor under a pooling and servicing agreement represents theinterests of senior certificateholders in the transaction governed by suchpooling and servicing agreement and is responsible for monitoring theperformance of the special servicer under such pooling and servicing agreementand producing certain reports to certificateholders relating to the resolutionof the mortgage pool securitized pursuant to such pooling and servicingagreement. While the operating advisor under a pooling and servicing agreementhas certain reporting obligations in respect of the related mortgage pool, ithas no obligation to collect or disburse funds in respect of the mortgage poolor to administer any of the underlying mortgage loans.  Consequently, theoperating advisor under a pooling and servicing agreement participates in theservicing function for purposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, but is notresponsible for the “management or collection of the pool assets ormaking allocations or distributions to holders of the asset-backedsecurities” within the meaning of “servicer” under Item 1101of Regulation AB and does not perform the functions of a servicer for purposesof Item 1123 of Regulation AB.

 

•KeyBank National Association is the current master servicer under the MSC2012-C4 pooling and servicing agreement. Bank of America, NationalAssociation’s rights and obligations as master servicer under the MSC 2012-C4pooling and servicing agreement were assigned to a predecessor of KeyBankNational Association in June 2013.

 

Inaddition, each of the following parties engaged the services of certainservicing function participants and sub-servicers for the reporting period, asset forth below:• KeyBank National Association, as master servicer, engaged the servicesof Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC, as a sub-servicer in respect of the entiremortgage pool for the reporting period.

OnJune 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors filed a civil complaint inthe Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, against WellsFargo Bank, N.A., (“Wells Fargo Bank”) in its capacity as trusteeunder 276 residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts,which was later amended on July 18, 2014, to increase the number of trusts to284 RMBS trusts. On November 24, 2014, the plaintiffs filed a motion tovoluntarily dismiss the state court action without prejudice. That same day, agroup of institutional investors filed a putative class action complaint in theUnited States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the“District Court”) against Wells Fargo Bank, alleging claims againstthe bank in its capacity as trustee for 274 RMBS trusts (the “FederalCourt Complaint”). In December 2014, the plaintiffs’ motion tovoluntarily dismiss their original state court action was granted. As with theprior state court action, the Federal Court Complaint is one of six similarcomplaints filed contemporaneously against RMBS trustees (Deutsche Bank,Citibank, HSBC, Bank of New York Mellon and US Bank) by a group ofinstitutional investor plaintiffs. The Federal Court Complaint against WellsFargo Bank alleges that the trustee caused losses to investors and assertscauses of action based upon, among other things, the trustee's alleged failureto: (i) notify and enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers forpurported breaches of representations and warranties, (ii) notify investors ofalleged events of default, and (iii) abide by appropriate standards of carefollowing alleged events of default. Relief sought includes money damages in anunspecified amount, reimbursement of expenses, and equitable relief. Othercases alleging similar causes of action have been filed against Wells FargoBank and other trustees in the District Court by RMBS investors in these andother transactions, and these cases against Wells Fargo Bank are proceedingbefore the same District Court judge. A similar complaint was also filed May27, 2016 in New York state court by a different plaintiff investor. On January19, 2016, an order was entered in connection with the Federal Court Complaintin which the District Court declined to exercise jurisdiction over 261 trustsat issue in the Federal Court Complaint; the District Court also allowedplaintiffs to file amended complaints as to the remaining, non-dismissedtrusts, if they so chose, and three amended complaints have been filed. OnDecember 17, 2016, the investor plaintiffs in the 261 trusts dismissed from theFederal Court Complaint filed a new complaint in New York state court (the“State Court Complaint”). In September 2017, Royal Park InvestmentsSA/NV (“Royal Park”), one of the plaintiffs in the District Courtcases against Wells Fargo Bank, filed a putative class action complaintrelating to two trusts seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and moneydamages based on Wells Fargo Bank’s indemnification from trust funds forlegal fees and expenses Wells Fargo Bank incurs or has incurred in defendingthe District Court case filed by Royal Park. With respect to the foregoinglitigations, Wells Fargo Bank believes plaintiffs' claims are without merit andintends to contest the claims vigorously, but there can be no assurances as tothe outcome of the litigations or the possible impact of the litigations onWells Fargo Bank or the RMBS trusts.

 

OnFebruary 23, 2016, a certificateholder of the J.P. Morgan Chase CommercialMortgage Securities Trust, Series 2007-CIBC18 (the “CIBC18 Trust”)filed suit in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York, againstKeyBank National Association and Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC(collectively, the “CIBC18 Servicers”). The suit was filedderivatively on behalf of the CIBC18 Trust. The action was brought inconnection with the CIBC18 Servicers’ determination of the fair value ofa loan, secured by the Bryant Park Hotel in New York City, held by the CIBC18Trust and sold to an assignee of the CIBC18 Trust’s directingcertificateholder, pursuant to an exercise of the fair value option set forthin the pooling and servicing agreement governing the CIBC18 Trust. There can beno assurances as to the outcome of the action or the possible impact of thelitigation on the CIBC18 Servicers. Both CIBC18 Servicers deny liability,believe that they performed their obligations in accordance with the terms ofthe pooling and servicing agreement applicable to the CIBC18 Trust, and havecontested the claims asserted against them, filing a motion to dismiss thecase. On November 28, 2016, the motion to dismiss was granted. The plaintiffcertificateholder filed an appeal, and the appeal is pending.
