***Substitute information provided in accordance with General Instruction J to Form 10-K****:*

 

**Item 1112(b) of Regulation AB. Significant Obligor Financial Information.**

 

No obligor relating to the pool assets held by the issuing entity is a “significant obligor” as that term is defined in Regulation AB.

 

**Item 1114(b)(2) of Regulation AB. Credit Enhancement and Other Support, Except for Certain Derivatives Instruments.**

 

Based on the standards set forth in Item 1114(b)(2) of Regulation AB, no information is required in response to this Item.

 

**Item 1115(b) of Regulation AB. Certain Derivatives Instruments.**

 

Based on the standards set forth in Item 1115(b) of Regulation AB, no information is required in response to this Item.

 

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

 

Except as disclosed in the following paragraph, the registrant knows of no material pending legal proceedings or material legal proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities against any of the parties or property for which Item 1117 of Regulation AB would require disclosure.

 

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“DB Trust”), as the indenture trustee, has provided the following information for inclusion in the registrant’s Securities Exchange Act filings:

 

“DB Trust has been named as a defendant in civil litigation concerning its role as trustee of certain residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts. On June 18, 2014, a group of investors (“Plaintiff Investors”) filed a civil action against DB Trust and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (“DBNTC”) in New York State Supreme Court purportedly on behalf of and for the benefit of 544 private-label RMBS trusts asserting claims for alleged violations of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence based on DB Trust’s and DBNTC’s alleged failure to perform their obligations as trustees for the trusts (the “NY Derivative Action”). An amended complaint was filed on July 16, 2014, adding Plaintiff Investors and RMBS trusts to the NY Derivative Action. On November 24, 2014, the Plaintiff Investors moved to voluntarily dismiss the NY Derivative Action without prejudice. Also on November 24, 2014, substantially the same group of Plaintiff Investors filed a civil action against DB Trust and DBNTC in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “SDNY Action”), making substantially the same allegations as the New York Derivative Action with respect to 564 RMBS trusts (542 of which were at issue in the NY Derivative Action). The SDNY Action is styled both as a derivative action on behalf of the named RMBS Trusts and, in the alternative, as a putative class action on behalf of holders of RMBS representing interests in those RMBS trusts. DB Trust is vigorously defending the SDNY Action.”

 

**Item 1119 of Regulation AB. Affiliates and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.**

 

Information required by Item 1119 of Regulation AB has been omitted from this report on Form 10-K in reliance on the Instruction to Item 1119 because such information has been previously provided as permitted by the Instructions to Item 1119.

**Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.**

 

Each of New Holland Credit Company, LLC (“NHCC”) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“DB”) (each, a “Servicing Participant”) have been identified by the registrant as a party participating in the servicing function with respect to the pool assets held by the Trust. Each of the Servicing Participants has completed a report on assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to such Servicing Participant (each, a “Report on Assessment”). The Report on Assessment provided by NHCC and the Report on Assessment provided by DB are dated as of March 30, 2015 and February 27, 2015, respectively, and as of and for a period consisting of the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. Each Report on Assessment is attached as an exhibit to this Form 10-K.

 

In addition, each of the Servicing Participants has provided an attestation report (each, an “Attestation Report”) by an independent registered public accounting firm regarding its related Report on Assessment. Each Attestation Report is attached as an exhibit to this Form 10-K.

 

None of the Reports on Assessment or the related Attestation Reports have identified any material instances of noncompliance with the servicing criteria identified in such Report on Assessment as applicable to the related Servicing Participant.  In addition, neither the Report on Assessment provided by NHCC nor the related Attestation Report have identified any material deficiency in NHCC’s policies and procedures to monitor vendor compliance.

 

**Item 1123 of Regulation AB. Servicer Compliance Statement.**

 

A Servicer Compliance Statement from an officer of New Holland Credit Company, LLC is included as an exhibit to this Report.
