The Exhibit Index describesexhibits provided by certain parties (in their capacities indicated on theExhibit Index) with respect to the 100 Church Street Mortgage Loan, whichconstituted approximately 6.3% of the asset pool of the issuing entity as ofits cut-off date.  The 100 Church Street Mortgage Loan is an asset of theissuing entity and is part of a loan combination that includes the 100 ChurchStreet 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 WFRBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2012-C8transaction, Commission File Number 333-172366-03 (the “WFRBS 2012-C8Transaction”). This loan combination, including the 100 Church StreetMortgage Loan, is being serviced and administered pursuant to the pooling andservicing agreement for the WFRBS 2012-C8 Transaction, which is incorporated byreference as Exhibit 4.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Wells FargoBank, National Association is the master servicer under the pooling andservicing agreement for the WFRBS 2012-C8 Transaction.  Theresponsibilities of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as primary servicerof this loan combination with respect to the issuing entity, are subsumedwithin its responsibilities as master servicer under the pooling and servicingagreement for the WFRBS 2012-C8 Transaction.  Thus, the servicercompliance statement provided by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, asmaster servicer under such pooling and servicing agreement, encompasses itsroles as both master servicer and primary servicer with respect to this loancombination.

Wells Fargo Bank, NationalAssociation is the master servicer and certificate administrator of themortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and theprimary servicer and certificate administrator of the 100 Church StreetMortgage Loan. As a result, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is a “servicer”as defined in Item 1108(a)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, in the capacitiesdescribed above, because it is servicing mortgage loans that constituted 10% ormore of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. Theassessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria, accountants’attestation reports and servicer compliance statements delivered by Wells FargoBank, National Association in the capacities described above are listed in theExhibit Index.

Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC is thespecial servicer of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and ServicingAgreement and the 100 Church Street Mortgage Loan. As a result, Rialto CapitalAdvisors, LLC 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 Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC in the capacities described above are listed inthe Exhibit Index.

U.S. Bank National Associationacts as trustee of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and ServicingAgreement.  Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the trusteeis required to provide an assessment of compliance with applicable servicingcriteria solely with respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB(regarding advances of funds or guarantees regarding collections, cash flows ordistributions, and any interest or other fees charged for such advances, aremade, reviewed and approved as specified in the transaction agreements).However, during the reporting period, the trustee did not perform any servicingfunction 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 serviced underthe Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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 under the 100 Church Street Mortgage Loan to remit taxpayments received from the escrow accounts of borrowers to local taxingauthorities, to report tax amounts due, to verify tax parcel information, andto verify non-escrow tax payments. These servicing functions are includedwithin the servicing criteria set forth in Items 1122(d)(4)(xi) and1122(d)(4)(xii) of Regulation AB.  Therefore, under the principles-baseddefinition of “servicer” set forth in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB that looksto the functions that an entity performs, these vendors are “servicers” for thepurposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB.  *See* Compliance andDisclosure Interpretations, Section 301.01 (Item 1101(j)).

**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 the following,with respect to U.S. Bank National Association as trustee, Wells Fargo Bank,National Association as certificate Administrator and as custodian and DeutscheBank Trust Company Americas as trustee.

 

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 with the most substantial case being:  *BlackRockBalanced Capital Portfolio**et al v. U.S. Bank National Association*,No. 605204/2015 (N.Y. Sup. Ct.) (class action alleging claims with respect toapproximately 770 trusts) and its companion case *BlackRock Core BondPortfolio et al v. U.S Bank National Association*, No. 14-cv-9401(S.D.N.Y.).  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 its actionswere not the cause of losses to investors and that it has meritorious defenses,and it intends to contest the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously.

On June 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors filed acivil complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County,against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo Bank”) in its capacity as trusteeunder 276 residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts, which waslater amended on July 18, 2014, to increase the number of trusts to 284 RMBStrusts. On November 24, 2014, the plaintiffs filed a motion to voluntarilydismiss the state court action without prejudice. That same day, a group ofinstitutional investors filed a putative class action complaint in the UnitedStates District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “DistrictCourt”) against Wells Fargo Bank, alleging claims against the bank in itscapacity as trustee for 274 RMBS trusts (the “Federal Court Complaint”). InDecember 2014, the plaintiffs’ motion to voluntarily dismiss their originalstate court action was granted. As with the prior state court action, theFederal Court Complaint is one of six similar complaints filed contemporaneouslyagainst RMBS trustees (Deutsche Bank, Citibank, HSBC, Bank of New York Mellonand US Bank) by a group of institutional investor plaintiffs. The Federal CourtComplaint against Wells Fargo Bank alleges that the trustee caused losses toinvestors and asserts 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 includes money damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement ofexpenses, and equitable relief. Other cases alleging similar causes of actionhave been filed against Wells Fargo Bank and other trustees in the DistrictCourt by RMBS investors in these and other transactions, and these casesagainst Wells Fargo Bank are proceeding before the same District Court judge. Asimilar complaint was also filed May 27, 2016 in New York state court by adifferent plaintiff investor. On January 19, 2016, an order was entered inconnection with the Federal Court Complaint in which the District Courtdeclined to exercise jurisdiction over 261 trusts at issue in the Federal CourtComplaint; the District Court also allowed plaintiffs to file amendedcomplaints as to the remaining, non-dismissed trusts, if they so chose, andthree amended complaints have been filed. On December 17, 2016, the investor plaintiffsin the 261 trusts dismissed from the Federal Court Complaint filed a newcomplaint in New York state court (the “State Court Complaint”). In September2017, Royal Park Investments SA/NV (“Royal Park”), one of the plaintiffs in theDistrict Court cases against Wells Fargo Bank, filed a putative class actioncomplaint relating to two trusts seeking declaratory and injunctive relief andmoney damages based on Wells Fargo Bank’s indemnification from trust funds forlegal fees and expenses Wells Fargo Bank incurs or has incurred in defendingthe District Court case filed by Royal Park. With respect to the foregoinglitigations, Wells Fargo Bank believes plaintiffs' claims are without merit andintends to contest the claims vigorously, but there can be no assurances as tothe outcome of the litigations or the possible impact of the litigations onWells Fargo Bank or the RMBS trusts.

 

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 aderivative action against DBNTC and DBTCA in New York State Supreme Courtpurportedly on behalf of and for the benefit of 544 private-label RMBS trustsasserting claims for alleged violations of the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939(“TIA”), breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence based onDBNTC and DBTCA’s alleged failure to perform their duties as trustees for thetrusts. Plaintiffs subsequently dismissed their state court complaint and fileda derivative and class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the SouthernDistrict of New York on behalf of and for the benefit of 564 private-label RMBStrusts, which substantially overlapped with the trusts at issue in the statecourt action. The complaint alleges that the trusts at issue have sufferedtotal realized collateral losses of U.S. $89.4 billion, but the complaint doesnot include a demand for money damages in a sum certain. DBNTC and DBTCA fileda motion to dismiss, and on January 19, 2016, the court partially granted themotion on procedural grounds: as to the 500 trusts that are governed by poolingand servicing agreements, the court declined to exercise jurisdiction. Thecourt did not rule on substantive defenses asserted in the motion todismiss.  On March 22, 2016, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in federalcourt.  In the amended complaint, in connection with 62 trusts governed byindenture agreements, plaintiffs assert claims for breach of contract,violation of the TIA, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of duty to avoidconflicts of interest.   The amended complaint alleges that thetrusts at issue have suffered total realized collateral losses of U.S. $9.8billion, but the complaint does not include a demand for money damages in a sumcertain.  On July 15, 2016, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a motion to dismiss theamended complaint.  On January 23, 2017, the court granted in part anddenied in part DBNTC and DBTCA’s motion to dismiss.  The court granted themotion to dismiss with respect to plaintiffs’ conflict-of-interest claim,thereby dismissing it, and denied the motion to dismiss with respect toplaintiffs’ breach of contract claim (except as noted below) and claim forviolation of the TIA, thereby allowing those claims to proceed.  OnJanuary 26, 2017, the parties filed a joint stipulation and proposed orderdismissing plaintiffs’ claim for breach of fiduciary duty.  On January 27,2017, the court entered the parties’ joint stipulation and ordered thatplaintiffs’ claim for breach of fiduciary duty be dismissed.  On February3, 2017, following a hearing concerning DBNTC and DBTCA’s motion to dismiss onFebruary 2, 2017, the court issued a short form order dismissing (i)plaintiffs’ representation and warranty claims as to 21 trusts whoseoriginators and/or sponsors had entered bankruptcy and the deadline forasserting claims against such originators and/or sponsors had passed as of 2009and (ii) plaintiffs’ claims to the extent they were premised upon any allegedpre-event of default duty to terminate servicers.  On March 27, 2017,DBNTC and DBTCA filed an answer to the amended complaint.  On January 26,2018, Plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification.  The parties arecurrently briefing the motion.  Discovery is ongoing.

 

On March 25, 2016, the *BlackRock* plaintiffs filed astate court action against DBTCA in the Superior Court of California, OrangeCounty with respect to 513 trusts.  On May 18, 2016, plaintiffs filedan amended complaint with respect to 465 trusts, and included DBNTC as anadditional defendant.  The amended complaint asserts three causes ofaction:  breach of contract; breach of fiduciary duty; and breach ofthe duty to avoid conflicts of interest.  Plaintiffs purport to bringthe action on behalf of themselves and all other current owners of certificatesin the 465 trusts.  The amended complaint alleges that the trusts atissue have suffered total realized collateral losses of U.S. $75.7 billion, butdoes not include a demand for money damages in a sum certain.  On August22, 2016, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a demurrer as to Plaintiffs’ breach offiduciary duty cause of action and breach of the duty to avoid conflicts ofinterest cause of action and motion to strike as to Plaintiffs’ breach ofcontract cause of action.  On October 18, 2016, the court granted DBNTCand DBTCA’s demurrer, providing Plaintiffs with thirty days’ leave to amend,and denied DBNTC and DBTCA’s motion to strike.  Plaintiffs did not furtheramend their complaint and, on December 19, 2016, DBNTC and DBTCA filed ananswer to the amended complaint.  On January 17, 2018, Plaintiffs filed amotion for class certification.  The parties are currently briefing themotion.  Discovery is ongoing.

 

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 TIA;breach of contract; breach of fiduciary duty; negligence and gross negligence;violation of the Streit Act; and breach of the covenant of good faith. However, in the third amended complaint, plaintiffs acknowledge that, beforeDBTCA was added to the case, the court dismissed plaintiffs’ TIA Act claims,negligence and gross negligence claims, Streit Act claims, claims for breach ofthe covenant of good faith, and certain theories of plaintiffs’ breach ofcontract claims, and plaintiffs only include these claims to preserve anyrights on appeal.  Plaintiffs allege damages of “hundreds of millions ofdollars.”  On November 13, 2017, DBNTC and DBTCA filed an answer to thethird amended complaint.  Discovery is ongoing.

 

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 at issue. On November 30, 2017, Commerzbank filed a second amended complaint that namesDBTCA as a defendant in addition to DBNTC.  DBTCA serves as trustee for 1of the 50 trusts at issue.  DBNTC serves as trustee for the other 49trusts at issue.  Commerzbank’s second amended complaint brings claims forviolation of the TIA; breach of contract; breach of fiduciary duty; negligence;violation of the Streit Act; and breach of the covenant of good faith. However, in the second amended complaint, Commerzbank acknowledges that, beforeDBTCA was added to the case, the court dismissed Commerzbank’s TIA claims forthe trusts governed by pooling and servicing agreements, as well as its StreitAct claims and claims for breach of the covenant of good faith, and Commerzbankonly includes these claims to preserve any rights on appeal.  The secondamended complaint alleges that DBNTC and DBTCA caused Commerzbank to suffer“hundreds of millions of dollars in losses,” but the complaint does not includea demand for money damages in a sum certain.  On January 29, 2018, DBNTCand DBTCA filed an answer to the second amended complaint.  Discovery isongoing.

 

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 New York’s Streit Act, violation of the TrustIndenture Act, violation of Regulation AB, and violation of Section 9 of theUniform Commercial Code.  IKB alleges that DBNTC and DBTCA are liable forover U.S. $268 million in damages.  On October 5, 2016, DBNTC and DBTCA,together with several other trustees defending lawsuits by IKB, filed a jointmotion to dismiss.  On January 6, 2017, IKB filed a notice ofdiscontinuance, voluntarily dismissing with prejudice all claims as to threetrusts.  As of January 17, 2017, DBNTC and DBTCA’s motion to dismiss hasbeen briefed and is awaiting decision by the court.  On June 20, 2017, theparties filed a stipulation, voluntarily dismissing with prejudice all claimsas to four additional trusts.  Certain limited discovery is permitted togo forward while the motion to dismiss is pending.

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 as trustee under the WFRBS 2012-C8 pooling and servicing agreementrelating to this CMBS transaction.
