EXHIBIT B
False Claims Act
With respect to paragraph 7 of this certificate, the U.S. Government is conducting a civil investigation under the False Claims Act into whether originators, depositors, servicers, or trustees of residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts submitted false claims for payment by government purchasers of RMBS by (1) concealing that the trusts lacked collateral documents necessary to foreclose; (2) charging RMBS trusts for fraudulent loan processing services, including the preparation of fraudulent mortgage assignments; and (3) failing to ensure that the RMBS trusts paid necessary real estate mortgage investment conduit (“REMIC”) taxes. Certain states may be conducting similar investigations. The investigation may involve RMBS trusts in which current or former Bank of America affiliates, including BAC Home Loans Servicing LP, Bank of America Mortgage Securities, Inc., Countrywide Financial Corporation, and Bank of America, N.A. as successor by merger to LaSalle Bank, served as originator, depositor, servicer, or trustee. The U.S. government’s investigation is also considering whether participants in RMBS trusts defrauded federal mortgage insurers, including the Federal Housing Administration and the Department of Housing and Urban Development by submitting claims for loan guarantee payments on loans for which the trusts lacked collateral documents necessary to foreclose.
Investigations under the federal and most state False Claims Acts may be initiated by the applicable government investigative body or by a qui tam relator’s filing of a False Claims Act complaint under court seal. If a qui tam relator’s complaint remained under seal, applicable law would restrict our ability to disclose such a fact.

Bank of America, National Association is a named party in litigation involving Ocala Funding, LLP. Information about this litigation is publicly disclosed in Bank of America Corporation’s Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings.
Fifth Third v. Concord Capital Management et al.
Bank of America, National Association (“Bank of America”) was named as a co-defendant in a suit filed in September 2010 by Concord Capital Management LLC and affiliated parties (collectively, “Concord”) in the New York State Supreme Court against Bank of America (as successor by merger to LaSalle Bank National Association), Fifth Third Bank (“Fifth Third”) and other parties. The suit alleged gross negligence and breach of contract by Bank of America, acting as collateral agent, servicer and, until the transfer of such role to Wilmington Trust Company in February 2009, the trustee, in connection with a life insurance premium-financing loan facility known as “Ultra”, established by Concord and financed by Fifth Third.
In November 2011, Fifth Third filed an amended complaint in Illinois State Court naming Concord, Bank of America and certain other parties, as defendants. Fifth Third’s lawsuit alleges breach of contract and gross negligence by Bank of America based on assertions about Bank of America’s duties substantially similar to those previously made by Concord in New York State Court.
Bank of America’s motion to dismiss against Concord was granted on December 5, 2011. The Fifth Third lawsuit is ongoing.
Nightingale Properties, LLC et al. vs. Bank of America, N.A., et al.
Bank of America was named as a co-defendant with CW Capital Asset Management LLC (“CWC”) in suits filed in Tennessee State Court (in February 2011) New York State Court (in August 2011) and Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York (in December 2011) by the Nightingale Group, LLC and related parties (collectively, “Nightingale”). Each of the actions arose as a consequence of the default of four commercial loans in the LB-UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust, 2008-C1, and the filing by CWC on behalf of Bank of America of a collection suit in Tennessee against Nightingale and its owners/guarantors, which resulted in a receivership.
The Tennessee and New York State complaints allege libel by CWC, as servicer, allegedly acting as agent of Bank of America, as trustee with respect to the LB-UBS Trust, arising from the publication by CWC of certain statements relating to the guarantee given by Nightingale in support of payment on the four commercial loans in the LB-UBS Trust. The Federal District Court complaint alleges breach of contract, intentional or negligent interference with prospective economic advantage, fraud, promissory estoppel and a RICO claim CWC and Bank of America.
