The reports on assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria for
asset-backed securities and the related attestation reports on such assessments
of compliance are attached hereto under Item 15.
The assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria furnished
pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB by CWCapital Asset Management LLC
("CWAM") is attached to this Annual Report on Form 10-K as Exhibit 33.2. The
material instances of noncompliance disclosed in the CWAM assessment are as
follows:
Material Instance of Noncompliance by CWAM
CWAM's assessment of compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria set
forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission in paragraph (d) of Item 1122
of Regulation AB as of December 31, 2013 and for the Reporting Period,
disclosed that a material instance of noncompliance occurred with respect to
the servicing criterion set forth in Item 1122(d)(4)(vii), as follows:
*With respect to servicing criterion 1122(d)(4)(vii), certain loss mitigation or
recovery actions (e.g., forbearance plans, modifications and deeds in lieu of
foreclosure, foreclosures and repossessions, as applicable) were not initiated,
conducted and concluded in accordance with the timeframes or other requirements
established by the transaction agreements.
Management's Discussion on Material Instance of Noncompliance by CWAM
1122(d)(4)(vii): Loss mitigation or recovery actions (e.g., forbearance plans,
modifications and deeds in lieu of foreclosure, foreclosures and repossessions,
as applicable) are initiated, conducted and concluded in accordance with the
time frames or other requirements established by the transaction agreements.
Noncompliance:
CWAM has identified a material instance of non-compliance as of December 31,
2013 and for the Reporting Period as a result of misappropriations of funds
from certain securitization transactions included in the Platform by a single
CWAM employee (the "Misappropriations"). The Misappropriations started in 2012
and were detected and ceased in September 2013, and included an aggregate
amount of approximately $6,000,000. The Misappropriations were limited to
certain securitization transactions in the Platform.
Remediation:
Promptly upon discovery of the Misappropriations in September 2013, CWAM
terminated the offending employee and filed a civil action to recover the
misappropriated funds . As of December 31, 2013, all of the affected
securitization transactions in the Platform have been fully reimbursed. CWAM
has also promptly notified rating agencies and criminal authorities of the
Misappropriations and the former employee was arrested on October 2, 2013.
Adjustments have been made to CWAM's policies and procedures to minimize the
risk of future misappropriation or errors. CWAM has advised counsel to the
registrant that the reported instance of material instance of noncompliance did
not affect this issuing entity.
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 33.3. The material instances of noncompliance
disclosed in the 2013 NTS Assessment are as follows:
Material Instances of Noncompliance by National Tax Search, LLC
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.
