EXPLANATORY NOTES

The Exhibit Index describes exhibits provided by certain parties (in their capacities indicated on the Exhibit Index) with respect to the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan, which constituted approximately 4.7%, 4.1% and 2.5%, respectively, of the asset pool of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan are each an asset of the issuing entity and are each part of a respective loan combination that includes the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan and one other pari passu loan, which is not an asset of the issuing entity. The other pari passu portion of each loan combination was securitized in the CGCMT 2012-GC8 Mortgage Trust transaction, Commission File Number 333-166711-02 (the “CGCMT 2012-GC8 Transaction”). These loan combinations, including the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan, respectively, are each being serviced and administered pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement for the CGCMT 2012-GC8 Transaction, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo Bank") is the master servicer of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the primary servicer of the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan,  the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan.  Thus, Wells Fargo Bank is a "servicer", as defined in Item 1108(a)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, with respect to these mortgage loans because it is servicing mortgage loans which constituted 10% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date.  The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria, accountants' attestation reports and servicer compliance statements delivered by Wells Fargo Bank in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

LNR Partners, LLC (“LNR”) is the special servicer of the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan, which constituted approximately 11.3% of the asset pool of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. Thus, LNR is a “servicer”, as defined in Item 1108(a)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, with respect to the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan because it is servicing mortgage loans which constituted 10% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria, accountants’ attestation reports and servicer compliance statements delivered by LNR in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”) is the certificate administrator of the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan. Thus, Citibank is a “servicer”, as defined in Item 1108(a)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, with respect to these mortgage loans because it is servicing mortgage loans which constituted 10% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria, accountants’ attestation reports and servicer compliance statements delivered by Citibank in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

Citibank is the custodian for the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan. Thus, Citibank, in the capacities described above, is a servicing function participant with respect to 5% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and accountants’ attestation reports delivered by Citibank in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

Situs Holdings, LLC (“Situs”) is the operating advisor of the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan, which constituted approximately 11.3% of the asset pool of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. As a result, Situs is a servicing function participant with respect to 5% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and accountants’ attestation reports delivered by Situs in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and accountant’s attestation reports from CoreLogic Commercial Real Estate Services, Inc. and National Tax Search, LLC. These entities were engaged by the master servicer and primary servicer with respect to the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan to remit tax payments received from the escrow accounts of borrowers to local taxing authorities, to report tax amounts due, to verify tax parcel information, and to verify non-escrow tax payments. These services are included within the servicing criteria set forth in Items 1122(d)(4)(xi) and 1122(d)(4)(xii).

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

Item 1117 of Regulation AB. Legal Proceedings.
The registrant knows of no material pending legal proceedings involving the entities contemplated by Item 1117 of Regulation AB, other than routine litigation incidental to the duties of those respective parties, and the following, with respect to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and certificate administrator:

In June 2014, a civil complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, by a group of institutional investors against U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”), in its capacity as trustee or successor trustee (as the case may be) under certain residential mortgage backed securities ("RMBS") trusts. The plaintiffs are investment funds formed by nine investment advisors (AEGON, BlackRock, Brookfield, DZ Bank, Kore, PIMCO, Prudential, Sealink and TIAA) that purport to be bringing suit derivatively on behalf of 841 RMBS trusts that issued $771 billion in original principal amount of securities between 2004 and 2008. According to the plaintiffs, cumulative losses for these RMBS trusts equal $92.4 billion as of the date of the complaint. The complaint is one of six similar complaints filed against RMBS trustees (Deutsche Bank, Citibank, HSBC, Bank of New York Mellon and Wells Fargo) by certain of these plaintiffs. The complaint against U.S. Bank alleges the trustee caused losses to investors as a result of alleged failures by the sponsors, mortgage loan sellers and servicers for these RMBS trusts and asserts causes of action based upon the trustee's purported failure to enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for alleged breaches of representations and warranties concerning loan quality. The complaint also asserts that the trustee failed to notify securityholders of purported events of default allegedly caused by breaches by mortgage loan servicers and that the trustee purportedly failed to abide by appropriate standards of care following events of default. Relief sought includes money damages in an unspecified amount and equitable relief. In November 2014, the plaintiffs sought leave to voluntarily dismiss their original state court complaint and filed a substantially similar complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The federal civil complaint added a class action allegation and a change in the total number of named trusts to 843 RMBS trusts. In December 2014, the plaintiffs’ motion to voluntarily dismiss their original state court complaint was granted. Other cases alleging similar causes of action have previously been filed against U.S. Bank and other trustees by RMBS investors in other transactions.

There can be no assurances as to the outcome of the litigation, or the possible impact of the litigation on the trustee or the RMBS trusts. However, U.S. Bank denies liability and believes that it has performed its obligations under the RMBS trusts in good faith, that its actions were not the cause of losses to investors and that it has meritorious defenses, and it intends to contest the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously.

Item 1119 of Regulation AB. Affiliations and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
The information regarding this item has been previously provided in a prospectus supplement of the registrant relating to the issuing entity filed on November 27, 2012 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5).
