The Keurig Green Mountain MortgageLoan, previously an asset of the issuing entity, was not an asset of theissuing entity during the reporting period and is omitted from this AnnualReport on Form 10-K and will be omitted from subsequent Annual Reports on Form10-K.

The Exhibit Index describesexhibits provided by certain parties (in their capacities indicated on theExhibit Index) with respect to the 10 South LaSalle Street Mortgage Loan, whichconstituted approximately 8.6% of the asset pool of the issuing entity as ofits cut-off date.  The 10 South LaSalle Street Mortgage Loan is an assetof the issuing entity and is part of a loan combination that includes the 10South LaSalle Street Mortgage Loan and one other *pari passu* loan, whichis not an asset of the issuing entity. The other *pari passu* portion ofthe loan combination was securitized in the Wells Fargo Commercial MortgageTrust 2016-C32 transaction, Commission File Number 333-206677-02 (the “WFCMT2016-C32 Transaction”). This loan combination, including the 10 SouthLaSalle Street Mortgage Loan, is being serviced and administered pursuant tothe pooling and servicing agreement for the WFCMT 2016-C32 Transaction, whichis incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The master servicer of a poolingand servicing agreement or trust and servicing agreement also functions as theprimary servicer of the related mortgage loans serviced and administeredpursuant to such agreement unless a separate primary servicer is identifiedherein.  If this report does not identify a separate primary servicer, theservicer compliance statement provided by the master servicer under any suchagreement also encompasses its responsibilities as primary servicer of therelated mortgage loan or mortgage loans.

Wells Fargo Bank, National Associationis the master servicer and certificate administrator of the mortgage loansserviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the primary servicer ofthe 10 South LaSalle Street Mortgage Loan. As a result, Wells Fargo Bank,National Association is a “servicer” as defined in Item 1108(a)(2)(iii) ofRegulation AB, in the capacities described above, because it is servicingmortgage loans that constituted 10% or more of the assets of the issuing entityas of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicingcriteria, accountants’ attestation reports and servicer compliance statementsdelivered by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association in the capacities describedabove are listed in the Exhibit Index.

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the custodian ofthe mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the10 South LaSalle Street Mortgage Loan.  As a result, Wells Fargo Bank,National Association is a servicing function participant in the capacitiesdescribed above, because it is servicing mortgage loans that constituted 5% ormore of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. Theassessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and accountants’attestation reports delivered by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association in thecapacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC isthe special servicer of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling andServicing Agreement and the 10 South LaSalle Street Mortgage Loan. As a result,Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC is a “servicer” as defined in Item 1108(a)(2)(iii)of Regulation AB, in the capacities described above, because it is servicingmortgage loans that constituted 10% or more of the assets of the issuing entityas of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicingcriteria, accountants’ attestation reports and servicer compliance statementsdelivered by Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC in the capacities described above arelisted in the Exhibit Index.

Wilmington Trust, NationalAssociation acts as trustee of the mortgage loans serviced under the Poolingand Servicing Agreement and the 10 South LaSalle Street Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the pooling and servicingagreement for the WFCMT 2016-C32 Transaction, the trustee is required toprovide an assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria solelywith respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB (regarding advances offunds or guarantees regarding collections, cash flows or distributions, and anyinterest or other fees charged for such advances, are made, reviewed andapproved as specified in the transaction agreements). However, during thereporting period, the trustee did not perform any servicing function withrespect to the servicing criteria specified in Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) ofRegulation AB.  The master servicer or the special servicer, to the extentrequired, performed the servicing function identified with respect to Item1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, and each such party included Item1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB in the assessment of compliance withapplicable servicing criteria and accountant’s attestation report for thesubject transaction.  As a result, this Annual Report on Form 10-K doesnot include an assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria ofthe trustee. One or more other servicers of the mortgage loans serviced underthe Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the 10 South LaSalle Street MortgageLoan have delivered one or more assessments of compliance with respect to Item1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB.

This Annual Report on Form 10-Kincludes assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria andaccountants’ attestation reports from CoreLogic Solutions, LLC.  Thisentity was engaged by the master servicer under the Pooling and ServicingAgreement and the primary servicer of the 10 South LaSalle Street Mortgage Loanto remit tax payments received from the escrow accounts of borrowers to localtaxing authorities, to report tax amounts due, to verify tax parcelinformation, and to verify non-escrow tax payments. These servicing functionsare included within the servicing criteria set forth in Items 1122(d)(4)(xi)and 1122(d)(4)(xii) of Regulation AB.  Therefore, under theprinciples-based definition of “servicer” set forth in Item 1101(j) ofRegulation AB that looks to the functions that an entity performs, this vendoris a “servicer” for the purposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB.  *See*Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, Section 301.01 (Item 1101(j)).

This Annual Report on Form 10-Kincludes an assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria,accountants’ attestation report and servicer compliance statement fromComputershare Trust Company, National Association (“CTCNA”).  CTCNAwas engaged by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”),in its capacity as certificate administrator and custodian, to perform certainspecified servicing functions identified in the assessment of compliance withapplicable servicing criteria and accountants’ attestation reports.  WellsFargo engaged CTCNA in connection with the sale of Wells Fargo’s corporatetrust services business to CTCNA and its affiliates.  Further, under theprinciples-based definition of “servicer” set forth in Item 1101(j) ofRegulation AB that looks to the functions that an entity performs, this partyis a “servicer” for the purposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB.  See Complianceand Disclosure Interpretations, Section 301.01 (Item 1101(j)).

Theassessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria, accountants’attestation reports and servicer compliance statements of the certificateadministrator of the 10 South LaSalle Street Mortgage Loan are omitted fromthis Annual Report on Form 10-K as the certificate administrator pursuant tothe related pooling and servicing agreement or trust and servicing agreementdoes not perform any activities that address servicing criteria with respect tothe issuing entity and because they are each not a “servicer” that meets thecriteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) of Regulation AB.

**Item 1117 of Regulation AB, Legal Proceedings.**

The registrant knows of nomaterial pending legal proceeding involving the trust or any party related tothe trust, other than routine litigation incidental to the duties of thoserespective parties, and the following, with respect to Wells Fargo Bank,National Association, as certificate administrator and as custodian. 

In December 2014, Phoenix LightSF Limited and certain related entities and the National Credit UnionAdministration (NCUA) filed complaints in the United States District Court forthe Southern District of New York against Wells Fargo Bank, alleging claimsagainst Wells Fargo Bank in its capacity as trustee for a number of residentialmortgage-backed securities trusts. Complaints raising similar allegations havebeen filed by Commerzbank AG in the Southern District of New York and by IKBInternational and IKB Deutsche Industriebank in New York state court. In eachcase, the plaintiffs allege that Wells Fargo Bank, as trustee, caused losses toinvestors, and plaintiffs assert causes of action based upon, among otherthings, the trustee’s alleged failure to notify and enforce repurchaseobligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representationsand warranties, notify investors of alleged events of default, and abide byappropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Wells FargoBank previously settled two class action lawsuits with similar allegations thatwere filed in November 2014 and December 2016 by institutional investors in theSouthern District of New York and New York state court, respectively. Inaddition, Park Royal I LLC and Park Royal II LLC have filed complaints in NewYork state court alleging Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee, failed to takeappropriate actions upon learning of defective mortgage loan documentation. InMarch 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to resolve the case filed bythe NCUA.

 

In addition to the foregoingcases, in August 2014 and August 2015 Nomura Credit & Capital Inc. (“Nomura”)and Natixis Real Estate Holdings, LLC (“Natixis”) filed a total of seventhird-party complaints against Wells Fargo Bank in New York state court. In theunderlying first-party actions, Nomura and Natixis have been sued for allegedbreaches of representations and warranties made in connection with residentialmortgage-backed securities sponsored by them. In the third-party actions,Nomura and Natixis allege that Wells Fargo Bank, as master servicer, primaryservicer or securities administrator, failed to notify Nomura and Natixis oftheir own breaches, failed to properly oversee the primary servicers, andfailed to adhere to accepted servicing practices. Natixis additionally allegesthat Wells Fargo Bank failed to perform default oversight duties. Wells FargoBank has asserted counterclaims alleging that Nomura and Natixis failed toprovide Wells Fargo Bank notice of their representation and warranty breaches.

 

With respect to each of the foregoing litigations, WellsFargo Bank believes plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intends to contestthe claims 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 related RMBS trusts.

**Item 1119 of Regulation AB, Affiliations and CertainRelationships and Related Transactions.**

The information regarding this Item has been previouslyprovided in the prospectus of the Registrant relating to the issuing entityfiled on February 26, 2016 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2).
