Management of the Cenlar FSB (the Company) is responsible for assessing compliance with the applicable servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the servicing of residential mortgage loans (the Platform), except for servicing criteria 1122 (d)(1)(iii), 1122(d)(3)(i)(b)-(c), 1122(d)(4)(i), and 1122(d)(4)(ii), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015. These criterion are not applicable to the Company because the Company does not perform activities with respect to the Platform relating to this criterion. Appendix A identifies the individual asset-backed transactions and securities defined by management as constituting the Platform. With respect to servicing criteria 1122(d)(2)(i), management has engaged various vendors to perform the activities required by these servicing criteria, has determined that these vendors are not considered a “servicer” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the Company has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the applicable servicing criteria applicable to each vendor as permitted by Regulation AB Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations of the Division of Corporation Finance, Section 200.06, “Vendors Engaged by Servicers” (C&DI 200.06). As permitted by C&DI 200.06, the Company asserts that it has policies and procedures in place, designed and operating effectively, to provide reasonable assurance that the vendors’ activities comply in all material respects with servicing criteria applicable to each vendor. The Company is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply C&DI 200.06 for the vendors and related criteria as described in our assertion.

The Company’s management has assessed the Company’s compliance with the applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB.

Based on such assessment, management has concluded that, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company has complied in all material respects with the servicing criteria, Except as set forth in the column titled “Inapplicable Servicing Criteria on Appendix B, set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the servicing of the Platform.

Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report with respect to management’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015.
