The Prince Building Mortgage Loan and the Eastview Mall andCommons Mortgage Loan, which constituted approximately 11.3% and 10.8%,respectively, of the asset pool of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date,are each an asset of the issuing entity and are each part of a loan combinationthat includes the Prince Building Mortgage Loan or the Eastview Mall andCommons Mortgage Loan which are assets of the issuing entity and one other *paripassu* loan, which is not an asset of the issuing entity. These loancombinations, including the Prince Building Mortgage Loan and the Eastview Malland Commons Mortgage Loan, are being serviced and administered pursuant to thePooling and Servicing Agreement, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit4.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Wells Fargo Bank, National Associationis the master servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  Theresponsibilities of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as primary servicerof each of these loan combinations with respect to the issuing entity, aresubsumed within its responsibilities as master servicer under the Pooling andServicing Agreement.  Thus, the servicer compliance statement provided byWells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer under the Poolingand Servicing Agreement, encompasses its roles as both master servicer andprimary servicer with respect to these loan combinations.

The Exhibit Index describesexhibits provided by certain parties (in their capacities indicated on theExhibit Index) with respect to the Emerald Square Mall Mortgage Loan, whichconstituted approximately 3.6% of the asset pool of the issuing entity as ofits cut-off date.  The Emerald Square Mall Mortgage Loan is an asset ofthe issuing entity and is part of a loan combination that includes the EmeraldSquare Mall Mortgage Loan and one other *pari passu* loan, which is not anasset of the issuing entity. The other *pari passu* portion of the loancombination was securitized in the COMM 2012-CCRE3 Mortgage Trust transaction,Commission File Number 333-172143-06 (the “COMM 2012-CCRE3 Transaction”).This loan combination, including the Emerald Square Mall Mortgage Loan, isbeing serviced and administered pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreementfor the COMM 2012-CCRE3 Transaction, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit4.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Wells Fargo Bank, NationalAssociation is the master servicer under the pooling and servicing agreementfor the COMM 2012-CCRE3 Transaction.  The responsibilities of Wells FargoBank, National Association, as primary servicer of this loan combination withrespect to the issuing entity, are subsumed within its responsibilities asmaster servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement for the COMM2012-CCRE3 Transaction.  Thus, the servicer compliance statement providedby Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer under suchpooling and servicing agreement, encompasses its roles as both master servicerand primary servicer with respect to this loan combination.

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 Emerald Square Mall Mortgage Loan. As a result, Wells Fargo Bank, NationalAssociation is a “servicer” as defined in Item 1108(a)(2)(iii) of RegulationAB, in the capacities described above, because it is servicing mortgage loansthat constituted 10% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of itscut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria,accountants’ attestation reports and servicer compliance statements deliveredby Wells Fargo Bank, National Association in the capacities described above arelisted in the Exhibit Index.

Deutsche Bank Trust CompanyAmericas is an affiliate of German American Capital Corporation, one of thesponsors.  Therefore, the Depositor included in this Annual Report on Form10-K a servicer compliance statement for Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americaspursuant to Item 1123.  Because Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas isservicing less than 5% of the pool assets, an assessment of compliance withapplicable servicing criteria and an accountants’ attestation report pursuantto Item 1122 of Regulation AB are not required by Regulation AB.  As theattestation made in the servicer compliance statement required by Item 1123relates to a review of the servicing activities of Deutsche Bank Trust CompanyAmericas under the applicable servicing agreement, and that review was conductedin conjunction with the servicer’s preparation of its assessment of compliancewith applicable servicing criteria, that assessment of compliance withapplicable servicing criteria and the accompanying accountants’ attestationreport are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the sake ofcompleteness.

U.S. Bank National Associationacts as trustee of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and ServicingAgreement and the Emerald Square Mall Mortgage Loan.  Pursuant to thePooling and Servicing Agreement and the pooling and servicing agreement for theCOMM 2012-CCRE3 Transaction, the trustee is required to provide an assessmentof compliance with applicable servicing criteria solely with respect to Item1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB (regarding advances of funds or guaranteesregarding collections, cash flows or distributions, and any interest or otherfees charged for such advances, are made, reviewed and approved as specified inthe transaction agreements). However, during the reporting period, the trusteedid not perform any servicing function with respect to the servicing criteriaspecified in Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB.  The master serviceror the special servicer, to the extent required, performed the servicingfunction identified with respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, andeach such party included Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB in theassessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and accountant’sattestation report for the subject transaction.  As a result, this AnnualReport on Form 10-K does not include an assessment of compliance withapplicable servicing criteria of the trustee. One or more other servicers ofthe mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and theEmerald Square Mall Mortgage Loan have delivered one or more assessments ofcompliance with respect to Item 1122(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 Commercial Real EstateServices, Inc. and National Tax Search, LLC.  These entities were engagedby the master servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and theprimary servicer of the Emerald Square Mall Mortgage Loan to remit tax paymentsreceived from the escrow accounts of borrowers to local taxing authorities, toreport tax amounts due, to verify tax parcel information, and to verifynon-escrow tax payments. These servicing functions are included within the servicingcriteria set forth in Items 1122(d)(4)(xi) and 1122(d)(4)(xii) of RegulationAB.  Therefore, under the principles-based definition of “servicer” setforth in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB that looks to the functions that anentity performs, these vendors are “servicers” for the purposes of Item 1122 ofRegulation AB.  *See* Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations,Section 301.01 (Item 1101(j)).

With respect to the *pari passu*loan combination that includes the Emerald Square Mall Mortgage Loan, (i) althoughDeutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is a party performing activities thataddress servicing criteria relating to 5% or less of the assets of the issuingentity, its report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria andassessment of compliance with servicing criteria are included for the sake ofcompleteness as explained above; however, the reports on assessment ofcompliance with servicing criteria and attestation reports on assessment ofcompliance with servicing criteria of Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNCBank, National Association as special servicer of the Emerald Square MallMortgage Loan and Situs Holdings, LLC as operating advisor of the EmeraldSquare Mall Mortgage Loan, listed on the Exhibit Index are omitted from this AnnualReport on Form 10-K as they are not required to be included on this AnnualReport on Form 10-K per Instruction 3 to Item 1122 of Regulation AB becausethey are parties performing activities that address servicing criteria relatingto 5% or less of the assets of the issuing entity; and (ii) the servicercompliance statement of Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, NationalAssociation as special servicer of the Emerald Square Mall Mortgage Loan,listed on the Exhibit Index is omitted from this Annual Report on Form 10-K asit is not required by Item 1123 of Regulation AB to be included on this AnnualReport on Form 10-K because it is an unaffiliated party that is not a“servicer” that meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) of RegulationAB.

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

The registrant knows of no material pending legal proceedinginvolving the trust or any party related to the trust, other than routinelitigation incidental to the duties of those respective parties, and thefollowing, with respect to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, ascertificate administrator and custodian, U.S. Bank National Association, astrustee, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as certificate administratorand custodian:

Since June 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors have filedcivil 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 as trusteefor certain residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts.  Thecomplaints against Wells Fargo Bank alleged that the trustee caused losses toinvestors and asserted causes of action based upon, among other things, thetrustee's alleged failure to: (i) notify and enforce repurchase obligations ofmortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties,(ii) notify investors of alleged events of default, and (iii) abide byappropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Reliefsought 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 coveredby the 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.

Since 2014 various plaintiffs or groups of plaintiffs,primarily investors, have filed claims against U.S. Bank National Association(“U.S. Bank”), in its capacity as trustee or successor trustee (as the case maybe) under certain residential mortgage backed securities ("RMBS")trusts.  The plaintiffs or plaintiff groups have filed substantiallysimilar complaints against other RMBS trustees, including Deutsche Bank,Citibank, HSBC, Bank of New York Mellon and Wells Fargo.  The complaintsagainst U.S. Bank allege the trustee caused losses to investors as a result ofalleged failures by the sponsors, mortgage loan sellers and servicers for theseRMBS trusts and assert causes of action based upon the trustee's purportedfailure to enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for allegedbreaches of representations and warranties concerning loan quality.  Thecomplaints also assert that the trustee failed to notify securityholders ofpurported events of default allegedly caused by breaches of servicing standardsby mortgage loan servicers and that the trustee purportedly failed to abide bya heightened standard of care following alleged events of default.  

Currently U.S. Bank is a defendant in multiple actionsalleging individual or class action claims against the trustee with respect tomultiple trusts as described above.  Previously, U.S. Bank disclosed thatthe most substantial case was:  BlackRock Balanced Capital Portfolio et alv. U.S. Bank National Association, No. 605204/2015 (N.Y. Sup. Ct.) (classaction alleging claims with respect to approximately 770 trusts) and itscompanion case BlackRock Core Bond Portfolio et al v. U.S Bank NationalAssociation, No. 14-cv-9401 (S.D.N.Y.) (collectively, the “BlackRock cases”).U.S. Bank has entered into a settlement agreement that will resolve theBlackRock cases following approval of the dismissals by the applicablecourt.  Some of the trusts implicated in the aforementioned Blackrockcases, as well as other trusts, are involved in actions brought by separategroups of plaintiffs related to no more than 100 trusts per case.

U.S. Bank cannot assure you as to the outcome of any of thelitigation, or the possible impact of these litigations on the trustee or theRMBS trusts. However, U.S. Bank denies liability and believes that it hasperformed its obligations under the RMBS trusts in. good faith, that itsactions were not the cause of losses to investors and that it has meritoriousdefenses, and it intends to contest the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously.

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“DBTCA”) and DeutscheBank National Trust Company (“DBNTC”) have been sued by investors in civillitigation concerning their role as trustees of certain RMBS trusts. 

On June 18, 2014, a group of investors, including fundsmanaged by Blackrock Advisors, LLC, PIMCO-Advisors, L.P., and others, filed anaction against DBNTC and DBTCA in New York State Supreme Court alleging thatDBNTC and DBTCA failed to perform purported duties, as trustees for 544private-label RMBS trusts, to enforce breaches of representations andwarranties as to mortgage loans held by the trusts and to enforce breaches byservicers of their mortgage loan servicing obligations for the trusts. During the course of the litigation, plaintiffs dismissed the case from NewYork State Supreme Court and refiled two separate cases, one in the U.S.District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “BlackRock SDNYCase”) and the other in the Superior Court of California, Orange County (the“BlackRock California Case”).  Pursuant to a settlement among the parties,the BlackRock SDNY Case was dismissed on December 6, 2018 and the BlackRockCalifornia Case was dismissed on January 11, 2019.

On September 27, 2017, DBTCA was added as a defendant to acase brought by certain special purpose entities including Phoenix Light SFLimited in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, inwhich the plaintiffs previously alleged incorrectly that DBNTC served astrustee for all 43 of the trusts at issue.  On September 27, 2017,plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint that names DBTCA as a defendant inaddition to DBNTC.  DBTCA serves as trustee for one of the 43 trusts atissue.  DBNTC serves as trustee for the other 42 trusts at issue. Plaintiffs’ third amended complaint brings claims for violation of the U.S.Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“TIA”); breach of contract; breach of fiduciaryduty; negligence and gross negligence; violation of New York’s Streit Act; andbreach of the covenant of good faith.  However, in the third amendedcomplaint, plaintiffs acknowledge that, before DBTCA was added to the case, thecourt dismissed plaintiffs’ TIA Act claims, negligence and gross negligenceclaims, Streit Act claims, claims for breach of the covenant of good faith, andcertain theories of plaintiffs’ breach of contract claims, and plaintiffs onlyinclude these claims to preserve any rights on appeal.  Plaintiffs allegedamages of “hundreds of millions of dollars.”  On November 13, 2017, DBNTCand DBTCA filed an answer to the third amended complaint.  On December 7,2018, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a motion for summary judgment.  Also onDecember 7, 2018, plaintiffs, jointly with Commerzbank AG (see description ofCommerzbank case below), filed a motion for partial summary judgment.

On November 30, 2017, DBTCA was added as a defendant to acase brought by Commerzbank AG (“Commerzbank”) in the U.S. District Court forthe Southern District of New York, in which Commerzbank previously allegedincorrectly that DBNTC served as trustee for all 50 of the trusts atissue.  On November 30, 2017, Commerzbank filed a second amended complaintthat names DBTCA as a defendant in addition to DBNTC.  DBTCA serves astrustee for 1 of the 50 trusts at issue.  DBNTC serves as trustee for theother 49 trusts at issue.  Commerzbank’s second amended complaint bringsclaims for violation of the TIA; breach of contract; breach of fiduciary duty;negligence; violation of the Streit Act; and breach of the covenant of goodfaith.  However, in the second amended complaint, Commerzbank acknowledgesthat, before DBTCA was added to the case, the court dismissed Commerzbank’s TIAclaims for the trusts governed by pooling and servicing agreements, as well asits Streit Act claims and claims for breach of the covenant of good faith, andCommerzbank only includes these claims to preserve any rights on appeal. The second amended complaint alleges that DBNTC and DBTCA caused Commerzbank tosuffer “hundreds of millions of dollars in losses,” but the complaint does notinclude a demand for money damages in a sum certain.  On January 29, 2018,DBNTC and DBTCA filed an answer to the second amended complaint.  OnDecember 7, 2018, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a motion for summary judgment. Also on December 7, 2018, Commerzbank, jointly with the Phoenix Lightplaintiffs, filed a motion for partial summary judgment.

On December 30, 2015, IKB International, S.A. in Liquidationand IKB Deutsche Industriebank A.G. (collectively, “IKB”), as an investor in 37RMBS trusts, filed a summons with notice in the Supreme Court of the State ofNew York, New York County, against DBNTC and DBTCA as trustees of thetrusts.  On May 27, 2016, IKB served its complaint asserting claims forbreach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty to avoid conflictsof interest, violation of the Streit Act, violation of the TIA, violation ofRegulation AB, and violation of Section 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. IKB alleges that DBNTC and DBTCA are liable for over U.S. $268 million indamages.  On October 5, 2016, DBNTC and DBTCA, together with several othertrustees defending lawsuits by IKB, filed a joint motion to dismiss.  OnJanuary 6, 2017 and June 20, 2017, IKB voluntarily dismissed with prejudice allclaims as to seven trusts.  As of March 1, 2019, DBNTC and DBTCA’s motionto dismiss has been briefed and is awaiting decision by the court.

It is DBTCA’s belief that it has no pending legal proceedings(including, based on DBTCA’s present evaluation, the litigation disclosed inthe foregoing paragraphs) that would materially affect its ability to performits duties under the related servicing agreement for this transaction.

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

The information regarding this Item has been previouslyprovided in a prospectus supplement of the Registrant relating to the issuingentity filed on November 13, 2012 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5).

The reports on assessments of compliance with the servicingcriteria for asset-backed securities and related attestation reports on suchassessments of compliance with respect to the Emerald Square Mall MortgageLoan, which is being serviced and administered pursuant to the pooling andservicing agreement for the COMM 2012-CCRE3 Transaction, are attached heretounder Item 15 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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

Midland is currently remediating theSchedule AL reporting for the CMBS transactions found to be incorrect, and willbe making improvements to its systems, processes and procedures to support itsSchedule AL reporting obligations.

Report on Assessment of Compliance with Applicable ServicingCriteria Not Included

For the reasons discussed in theExplanatory Notes above, Midland is not a party performing activities thataddress servicing criteria relating to 5% or more of the assets of the issuingentity.  Therefore, the report of assessment of compliance with applicableservicing criteria for Midland has not been included as an exhibit to thisAnnual Report on Form 10-K.
