**EXPLANATORY NOTES**

** **

Except as set forth below, each of theparties to each pooling and servicing agreement listed in the Exhibit Indexboth (1) participates in the servicing function for purposes of Item 1122 ofRegulation AB and (2) constitutes a servicer that meets the criteria in Item1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) of Regulation AB for purposes of Item 1123 ofRegulation AB:

 

• The trustee under a pooling and servicingagreement has a nominal role with respect to the mortgage pool securitizedpursuant to such pooling and servicing agreement. The trustee’s only servicingfunction is the contingent obligation to make certain advances if the masterservicer under such pooling and servicing agreement fails to do so, while allother servicing functions are performed by other parties. The trustee undereach of the pooling and servicing agreements listed in the Exhibit Index hasconfirmed to the registrant that it has not made any such contingent advancesduring the reporting period, and consequently, each such trustee does notparticipate in the servicing function for purposes of Item 1122 of RegulationAB, nor does it perform the functions of a servicer for purposes of thedefinition of “servicer” under Item 1101 of Regulation AB or for purposes ofItem 1123 of Regulation AB.

 

• The operating advisor under a pooling andservicing agreement represents the interests of senior certificateholders inthe transaction governed by such pooling and servicing agreement and isresponsible for monitoring the performance of the special servicer under suchpooling and servicing agreement and producing certain reports tocertificateholders relating to the resolution of the mortgage pool securitizedpursuant to such pooling and servicing agreement. While the operating advisorunder a pooling and servicing agreement has certain reporting obligations inrespect of the related mortgage pool, it has no obligation to collect ordisburse funds in respect of the mortgage pool or to administer any of theunderlying mortgage loans.  Consequently, the operating advisor under apooling and servicing agreement participates in the servicing function forpurposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, but is not responsible for the“management or collection of the pool assets or making allocations ordistributions to holders of the asset-backed securities” within the meaning of“servicer” under Item 1101 of Regulation AB and does not perform the functionsof a servicer for purposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB.

 

In addition, each of the following parties engaged the services ofcertain servicing function participants and sub-servicers for the reportingperiod, as set forth below:• Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, engaged theservices of CoreLogic Commercial Real Estate Services, Inc. and National TaxSearch, LLC, in each case as a servicing function participant in respect of theentire mortgage pool for the reporting period.

Theregistrant knows of no legal proceeding pending against the sponsors,depositor, trustee, issuing entity, servicer contemplated by Item 1108(a)(3) ofRegulation AB, originator contemplated by Item 1110(b) of Regulation AB, or otherparty contemplated by Item 1100(d)(1) of Regulation AB, or of which anyproperty of the foregoing is the subject, that is material to security holders,other than as disclosed in the prospectus of the issuing entity filed in a424(b)(5) filing dated October 3, 2011, and other than as follows:

 

SinceJune 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors have filed civil complaintsin the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and later theU.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Wells FargoBank, N.A., (“Wells Fargo Bank”) in its capacity as trustee for certainresidential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts. The complaints againstWells Fargo Bank alleged that the trustee caused losses to investors and assertedcauses of action based upon, among other things, the trustee's alleged failureto: (i) notify and enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers forpurported breaches of representations and warranties, (ii) notify investors ofalleged events of default, and (iii) abide by appropriate standards of carefollowing alleged events of default. Relief sought included money damages in anunspecified amount, reimbursement of expenses, and equitable relief. WellsFargo Bank has reached an agreement, in which it denies any wrongdoing, toresolve these claims on a classwide basis for the 271 RMBS trusts currently atissue. The settlement agreement is subject to court approval. Separate lawsuitsagainst Wells Fargo Bank making similar allegations filed by certain otherinstitutional investors concerning 57 RMBS trusts in New York federal and statecourt are not covered by the agreement. 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.

 

Since 2014 various plaintiffsor groups of plaintiffs, primarily investors, have filed claims against U.S.Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”), in its capacity as trustee orsuccessor trustee (as the case may be) under certain residential mortgagebacked securities ("RMBS") trusts.  The plaintiffs or plaintiffgroups have filed substantially similar complaints against other RMBS trustees,including Deutsche Bank, Citibank, HSBC, Bank of New York Mellon and WellsFargo.  The complaints against U.S. Bank allege the trustee caused lossesto investors as a result of alleged failures by the sponsors, mortgage loansellers and servicers for these RMBS trusts and assert causes of action basedupon the trustee's purported failure to enforce repurchase obligations ofmortgage loan sellers for alleged breaches of representations and warrantiesconcerning loan quality.  The complaints also assert that the trusteefailed to notify securityholders of purported events of default allegedlycaused by breaches of servicing standards by mortgage loan servicers and thatthe trustee purportedly failed to abide by a heightened standard of carefollowing alleged events of default.  

               

Currently U.S. Bank is adefendant in multiple actions alleging individual or class action claimsagainst the trustee with respect to multiple trusts as described above. Previously, U.S. Bank disclosed that the most substantial case was: *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.)(collectively, the “BlackRock cases”). U.S. Bank has entered into a settlementagreement that will resolve the BlackRock cases following approval of thedismissals by the applicable court.  Some of the trusts implicated in theaforementioned Blackrock cases, as well as other trusts, are involved inactions brought by separate groups of plaintiffs related to no more than 100 trustsper case. 

 

U.S.Bank cannot assure you as to the outcome of any of the litigation, or thepossible impact of these litigations on the trustee or the RMBS trusts.However, U.S. Bank denies liability and believes that it has performed itsobligations under the RMBS trusts in good faith, that its actions were not thecause of losses to investors and that it has meritorious defenses, and itintends to contest the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously.

**Item1122 of Regulation AB, Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.**

 

Thereports on assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria forasset-backed securities and the related attestation reports on such assessmentsof compliance are attached hereto under Item 15.

 

Thereport on assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria furnishedpursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB by Midland Loan Services, a Division ofPNC Bank National Association discloses that a material instance ofnoncompliance occurred, as described below:

 

MaterialInstance of Noncompliance

 

In certain instances, the Schedule AL Files (Item 1125of Regulation AB) were not reported in accordance with the terms specified inthe transaction agreements, in conflict with Item 1122(d)(3)(i): “Reports toinvestors, including those to be filed with the Commission, are maintained inaccordance with the transaction agreements and applicable Commissionrequirements. Specifically, such reports: (A) Are prepared in accordance withtimeframes and other terms set forth in the transaction agreements”.  Thenoncompliance consisted of omitted or inaccurately reported numbers due to thefollowing: (1) the initial setup files contained information at the assetlevel, and Midland was required to manually compile the information to presentit at the loan level as required by Schedule AL; and (2) certain reportingrequirements required manual processing by Midland, including the use ofvarious data computation formulas, quality control checks and analysis.

 

The identified instances did not involve the servicingof assets included in this securitization.

 

StepsTaken to Remedy the Material Instance of Noncompliance

 

Midlandis currently remediating the Schedule AL reporting for the CMBS transactionsfound to be incorrect, and will be making improvements to its systems,processes and procedures to support its Schedule AL reporting obligations.
