EXPLANATORY NOTES



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



| | ● | The trustee under a pooling and servicing agreement has a nominal role with respect to the mortgage pool securitized pursuant to such pooling and servicing agreement. The trustee’s only servicing function is the contingent obligation to make certain advances if the master servicer under such pooling and servicing agreement fails to do so, while all other servicing functions are performed by other parties. The trustee under each of the pooling and servicing agreements listed in the Exhibit Index has confirmed to the registrant that it has not made any such contingent advances during the reporting period, and consequently, each such trustee does not participate in the servicing function for purposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, nor does it perform the functions of a servicer for purposes of the definition of “servicer” under Item 1101 of Regulation AB or for purposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
| | ● | The operating advisor under a pooling and servicing agreement represents the interests of senior certificateholders in the transaction governed by such pooling and servicing agreement and is responsible for monitoring the performance of the special servicer under such pooling and servicing agreement and producing certain reports to certificateholders relating to the resolution of the mortgage pool securitized pursuant to such pooling and servicing agreement. While the operating advisor under a pooling and servicing agreement has certain reporting obligations in respect of the related mortgage pool, it has no obligation to collect or disburse funds in respect of the mortgage pool or to administer any of the underlying mortgage loans. Consequently, the operating advisor under a pooling and servicing agreement participates in the servicing function for purposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, but is not responsible for the “management or collection of the pool assets or making allocations or distributions to holders of the asset-backed securities” within the meaning of “servicer” under Item 1101 of Regulation AB and does not perform the functions of a servicer for purposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB.



In addition, each of the following parties engaged the
services of certain servicing function participants and sub-servicers for the reporting period, as set forth below:



| | ● | On November 1, 2021, pursuant to the second amended and restated servicing agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3, Computershare Trust Company, National Association was engaged to perform all or virtually all of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association’s roles as certificate administrator, custodian and trustee, as applicable, under the pooling and servicing agreement.

Item 1117 of Regulation AB, Legal Proceedings.



The registrant knows of no legal proceeding pending against
the sponsors, depositor, trustee, issuing entity, servicer contemplated by Item 1108(a)(3) of Regulation AB, originator contemplated
by Item 1110(b) of Regulation AB, or other party contemplated by Item 1100(d)(1) of Regulation AB, or of which any property of
the foregoing is the subject, that is material to security holders, other than as follows:



In December 2014, Phoenix Light SF Limited (Phoenix Light) and
certain related entities filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging claims
against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in its capacity as trustee for a number of residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) trusts.
Complaints raising similar allegations have been filed by Commerzbank AG in the Southern District of New York, IKB International
and IKB Deutsche Industriebank (together, IKB) in New York state court, and Park Royal I LLC and Park Royal II LLC in New York
state court. In each case, the plaintiffs allege that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee, caused losses to investors, and plaintiffs
assert causes of action based upon, among other things, the trustee’s alleged failure to notify and enforce repurchase obligations
of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties, notify investors of alleged events of default,
and abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. In July 2022, the district court dismissed Phoenix
Light’s claims and certain of the claims asserted by Commerzbank AG, and subsequently entered judgment in each case in favor
of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. In August 2022, Phoenix Light and Commerzbank AG each appealed the district court’s decision to
the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Phoenix Light dismissed its appeal in May 2023, terminating its case.
In November 2023, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. entered into an agreement with IKB to resolve IKB’s claims. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
previously settled two class actions filed by institutional investors and an action filed by the National Credit Union Administration
with similar allegations.



U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) and
other large financial institutions have been sued in their capacity as trustee or successor trustee for certain residential mortgage
backed securities ("RMBS") trusts. The complaints, primarily filed by investors or investor groups against U.S. Bank
and similar institutions, allege the trustees caused losses to investors as a result of alleged failures by the sponsors, mortgage
loan sellers and servicers to comply with the governing agreements for these RMBS trusts. Plaintiffs generally assert causes of
action based upon the trustees’ purported failures to enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for alleged
breaches of representations and warranties, notify securityholders of purported events of default allegedly caused by breaches
of servicing standards by mortgage loan servicers and abide by a heightened standard of care following alleged events of default.



U.S. Bank 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 losses to investors, that it has meritorious
defenses, and it has contested and intends to continue contesting the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously. However, U.S. Bank cannot
assure you as to the outcome of any of the litigation, or the possible impact of these litigations on the trustee or the RMBS trusts.



On March 9, 2018, a law firm purporting to represent fifteen
Delaware statutory trusts (the “DSTs”) that issued securities backed by student loans (the “Student Loans”)
filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) in its capacities
as indenture trustee and successor special servicer, and three other institutions in their respective transaction capacities, with
respect to the DSTs and the Student Loans. This lawsuit is captioned The National Collegiate Student Loan Master Trust I, et al.
v. U.S. Bank National Association, et al., C.A. No. 2018-0167-JRS (Del. Ch.) (the “NCMSLT Action”). The complaint,
as amended on June 15, 2018, alleged that the DSTs have been harmed as a result of purported misconduct or omissions by the defendants
concerning administration of the trusts and special servicing of the Student Loans. Since the filing of the NCMSLT Action, certain
Student Loan borrowers have made assertions against U.S. Bank concerning special servicing that appear to be based on certain allegations
made on behalf of the DSTs in the NCMSLT Action.



U.S. Bank has filed a motion seeking dismissal of the operative
complaint in its entirety with prejudice pursuant to Chancery Court Rules 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) or, in the alternative, a stay
of the case while other prior filed disputes involving the DSTs and the Student Loans are litigated. On November 7, 2018, the Court
ruled that the case should be stayed in its entirety pending resolution of the first-filed cases. On January 21, 2020, the Court
entered an order consolidating for pretrial purposes the NCMSLT Action and three other lawsuits pending in the Delaware Court of
Chancery concerning the DSTs and the Student Loans, which remains pending.



U.S. Bank denies liability in the NCMSLT Action and believes
it has performed its obligations as indenture trustee and special servicer in good faith and in compliance in all material respects
with the terms of the agreements governing the DSTs and that it has meritorious defenses. It has contested and intends to continue
contesting the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously.



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



The information regarding this Item has been provided previously
in an annual report on Form 10-K of the issuing entity or in the prospectus of the issuing entity filed in a 424(b)(5) filing dated
January 28, 2013.



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.



Item 1123 of Regulation AB, Servicer Compliance Statement.



The servicer compliance statements are attached hereto under
Item 15.
