**EXPLANATORY NOTES**

 

Except as set forthbelow, each of the parties to each pooling and servicing agreement listed inthe Exhibit Index both (1) participates in the servicing function for purposesof Item 1122 of Regulation AB and (2) constitutes a servicer that meets thecriteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) of Regulation AB for purposes ofItem 1123 of Regulation AB:

 

• The trustee under apooling and servicing agreement has a nominal role with respect to the mortgagepool securitized pursuant to such pooling and servicing agreement. Thetrustee’s only servicing function is the contingent obligation to make certainadvances if the master servicer under such pooling and servicing agreementfails to do so, while all other servicing functions are performed by otherparties. The trustee under each of the pooling and servicing agreements listedin the Exhibit Index has confirmed to the registrant that it has not made anysuch contingent advances during the reporting period, and consequently, eachsuch trustee does not participate in the servicing function for purposes ofItem 1122 of Regulation AB, nor does it perform the functions of a servicer forpurposes of the definition of “servicer” under Item 1101 of Regulation AB orfor purposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB.

 

• The operatingadvisor under a pooling and servicing agreement represents the interests ofsenior certificateholders in the transaction governed by such pooling andservicing agreement and is responsible for monitoring the performance of thespecial servicer under such pooling and servicing agreement and producingcertain reports to certificateholders relating to the resolution of themortgage pool securitized pursuant to such pooling and servicing agreement.While the operating advisor under a pooling and servicing agreement has certainreporting obligations in respect of the related mortgage pool, it has noobligation to collect or disburse funds in respect of the mortgage pool or toadminister 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 or makingallocations or distributions to holders of the asset-backed securities” withinthe meaning of “servicer” under Item 1101 of Regulation AB and does not performthe functions of a servicer for purposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB.

 

• KeyBank NationalAssociation is the current master servicer under the MSC 2012-C4 pooling andservicing agreement. Bank of America, National Association’s rights andobligations as master servicer under the MSC 2012-C4 pooling and servicingagreement were assigned to a predecessor of KeyBank National Association inJune 2013.

 

In addition, each of the following parties engaged the services ofcertain servicing function participants and sub-servicers for the reportingperiod, as set forth below:• KeyBank National Association, as master servicer, engaged the services ofBerkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC, as a sub-servicer in respect of the entiremortgage pool for the reporting period.

Beginningon June 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors filed civil complaints inthe Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and later the U.S.District Court for the Southern District of New York, against Wells Fargo Bank,N.A., (“Wells Fargo Bank”) in its capacity as trustee for certain residentialmortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts. The complaints against Wells FargoBank alleged that the trustee caused losses to investors and asserted causes ofaction based upon, among other things, the trustee's alleged failure to: (i)notify and enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for purportedbreaches of representations and warranties, (ii) notify investors of allegedevents of default, and (iii) abide by appropriate standards of care followingalleged events of default. Relief sought included money damages in anunspecified amount, reimbursement of expenses, and equitable relief. InNovember 2018, Wells Fargo Bank reached an agreement, in which it denied anywrongdoing, to resolve such claims on a classwide basis for the 271 RMBS trustsat issue. On May 6, 2019, the court entered an order approving the settlementagreement. Separate lawsuits against Wells Fargo Bank making similarallegations filed by certain other institutional investors concerning severalRMBS trusts in New York federal and state court are not covered by theagreement. With respect to such litigations, Wells Fargo Bank believesplaintiffs' claims are without merit and intends to contest the claimsvigorously, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome of the litigationsor the possible impact of the litigations on Wells Fargo Bank or the RMBStrusts.

**Item1122 of Regulation AB, Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.**

 

Thereports on assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria forasset-backed securities and the related attestation reports on such assessmentsof compliance are attached hereto under Item 15.

 

Thereport on assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria furnishedpursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB by Midland Loan Services, a Division ofPNC Bank National Association discloses that a material instance ofnoncompliance occurred, as described below:

 

MaterialInstance of Noncompliance

 

In certain instances, the Schedule AL Files (Item 1125of Regulation AB) were not reported in accordance with the terms specified inthe transaction agreements, in conflict with Item 1122(d)(3)(i): “Reports toinvestors, including those to be filed with the Commission, are maintained inaccordance with the transaction agreements and applicable Commissionrequirements. Specifically, such reports: (A) Are prepared in accordance withtimeframes and other terms set forth in the transaction agreements”.  Thenoncompliance consisted of omitted or inaccurately reported numbers due to thefollowing: (1) the initial setup files contained information at the assetlevel, and Midland was required to manually compile the information to presentit at the loan level as required by Schedule AL; and (2) certain reportingrequirements required manual processing by Midland, including the use ofvarious data computation formulas, quality control checks and analysis.

 

The identified instances did not involve the servicingof assets included in this securitization.

 

StepsTaken to Remedy the Material Instance of Noncompliance

 

Midland’s Schedule AL reporting process was enhanced inApril of 2019, however, the process remained manual throughout the 2019calendar year and additional errors during such year were identified during therelated audit. Following identification, Midland made staffing changes andadditional improvements to its processes and procedures to support its ScheduleAL reporting obligations and expects to move to an automated solution for thisprocess.
