Item 1122 of Regulation AB

The reports on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria for asset-backed securities and related attestation reports are attached hereto under Item 15.

The assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, furnished pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB by National Tax Search, LLC (the “2013 NTS Assessment”) for its commercial real estate mortgage loans platform, discloses that material instances of noncompliance occurred with respect to the servicing criterion described in Item 1122(d)(2)(vii) of Regulation AB. The 2013 NTS Assessment is attached to this Form 10-K as exhibit 33.7.

The following material instances of non-compliance have been disclosed by National Tax Search, LLC in the 2013 NTS Assessment (all references to the “Company” and Management” are references to National Tax Search, LLC and its management):

“Material Instances of Noncompliance by the Company

1122(d)(2)(vii): Reconciliations are prepared on a monthly basis for all asset-backed securities related to bank accounts, including custodial accounts and related clearing accounts. These reconciliations (B) Are prepared within 30 calendar days after the bank statement cutoff date, or such other number of days specificied (sic) in the transaction agreement and (D) Contain explanations for reconciling items. These reconciling items are resolved within 90 calendar days of their original identification, or such other number of days specificied (sic) in transaction agreements.

Noncompliance

During the reporting period, certain reconciliations were not completed within 30 calendar days after the bank statement cutoff date. Certain reconciling items lacked proper explanations and were not resolved within 90 day (sic) calendar days of their original identification.

Remediation

Management corrected the timeliness of reconciliations within the Period and Plante Moran auditors have reviewed, under an agreed-upon procedures engagement, the compliance with the servicing criteria of section 1122(d)(2)(vii), attributes B & D, as defined above, as of January 31, 2014, noting no matters of concern.

In the first quarter of 2014 Management will also complete installation of a Treasury Workstation system, which allows for the automation of daily reconciliation allowing for review and research throughout the month instead of the days after a bank statement cutoff date. This daily reconciliation will be accompanied by proper explanation of all reconciling items. Management will review any items that require resolution and reporting will provide aging of items at 30, 45 and 60 day levels to prevent exceeding the 90 calendar day requirement.”
