**EXPLANATORY NOTES**

The Walgreens Portfolio Mortgage Loan, whichconstituted approximately 7.7% of the asset pool of the issuing entity as ofits cut-off date, is an asset of the issuing entity and is part of a loancombination that includes the Walgreens Portfolio Mortgage Loan and two other *paripassu* loans, which are not assets of the issuing entity. This loancombination, including the Walgreens Portfolio Mortgage Loan, is being servicedand administered pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which isincorporated by reference as Exhibit 4 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Wilmington Trust, NationalAssociation acts as trustee of  the mortgage loans serviced under thePooling and Servicing Agreement.  Pursuant to the Pooling and ServicingAgreement, the trustee is required to provide an assessment of compliance withapplicable servicing criteria solely with respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) ofRegulation AB (regarding advances of funds or guarantees regarding collections,cash flows or distributions, and any interest or other fees charged for suchadvances, are made, reviewed and approved as specified in the transactionagreements). However, during the reporting period, the trustee did not performany servicing function with respect to the servicing criteria specified in Item1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB.  The master servicer or the specialservicer, to the extent required, performed the servicing function identifiedwith respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, and each such partyincluded Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB in the assessment of compliancewith applicable 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 servicedunder the Pooling and Servicing Agreement have delivered one or moreassessments of compliance with respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of RegulationAB.

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 to remit tax payments received from the escrow accounts of borrowersto local taxing 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.  SeeCompliance and Disclosure Interpretations, Section 301.01 (Item 1101(j)).

In each case, the plaintiffs allege thatWells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee, caused losses to investors, and plaintiffsassert causes of action based upon, among other things, the trustee’s allegedfailure to notify and enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellersfor purported breaches of representations and warranties, notify investors ofalleged events of default, and abide by appropriate standards of care followingalleged events of default. In July 2022, the district court dismissed PhoenixLight’s claims and certain of the claims asserted by Commerzbank AG, andsubsequently entered judgment in each case in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.In August 2022, Phoenix Light and Commerzbank AG appealed the district court’sdecision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. TheCompany previously settled two class actions filed by institutional investorsand an action filed by the National Credit Union Administration with similarallegations. In addition, Park Royal I LLC and Park Royal II LLC have filedsubstantially similar lawsuits in New York state court alleging Wells FargoBank, N.A., as trustee, failed to take appropriate actions upon learning ofdefective mortgage loan documentation.
