Since June 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors havefiled civil complaints in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New YorkCounty, and later the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New Yorkagainst Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., (“Wells Fargo Bank”) in its capacity astrustee for certain residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”)trusts.  The complaints against Wells Fargo Bank alleged that the trusteecaused losses to investors and asserted causes of action based upon, amongother things, the trustee's alleged failure to: (i) notify and enforce repurchaseobligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representationsand warranties, (ii) notify investors of alleged events of default, and (iii)abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events of default.Relief sought included money damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement ofexpenses, and equitable relief. Wells Fargo Bank has reached an agreement, inwhich it denies any wrongdoing, to resolve these claims on a classwide basisfor the 271 RMBS trusts currently at issue.  The settlement agreement issubject to court approval.  Separate lawsuits against Wells Fargo Bankmaking similar allegations filed by certain other institutional investorsconcerning 57 RMBS trusts in New York federal and state court are not covered bythe agreement.  With respect to the foregoing litigations, Wells FargoBank believes plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intends to contest theclaims vigorously, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome of thelitigations or the possible impact of the litigations on Wells Fargo Bank orthe RMBS trusts.

The report on assessment of compliance with applicableservicing criteria furnished pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB by MidlandLoan Services, a Division of PNC Bank National Association discloses that amaterial instance of noncompliance occurred, as described below:

Material Instance of Noncompliance

In certain instances, the ScheduleAL Files (Item 1125 of Regulation AB) were not reported in accordance with theterms specified in the transaction agreements, in conflict with Item1122(d)(3)(i): “Reports to investors, including those to be filed with theCommission, are maintained in accordance with the transaction agreements andapplicable Commission requirements. Specifically, such reports: (A) Areprepared in accordance with timeframes and other terms set forth in thetransaction agreements”.  The noncompliance consisted of omitted orinaccurately reported numbers due to the following: (1) the initial setup filescontained information at the asset level, and Midland was required to manuallycompile the information to present it at the loan level as required by ScheduleAL; and (2) certain reporting requirements required manual processing byMidland, including the use of various data computation formulas, qualitycontrol checks and analysis.

The identified instances did notinvolve the servicing of assets included in this securitization.

Steps Taken to Remedy the Material Instance of Noncompliance
