Item 1122 of Regulation AB: Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.
 
Each of Comenity Bank, ADS Alliance Data Systems, Inc. (“ADS”), Union Bank and BNYMTC (each, a  “Servicing Participant”) have each been identified by the registrant as parties participating in the servicing function with respect to more than 5% of the pool assets held by the issuing entity.  Each of the Servicing Participants has completed a report on an assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to it (each, a “Servicing Report”), which Servicing Reports are attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K.  In addition, each Servicing Participant has provided an attestation report (each, an “Attestation Report”) by one or more registered public accounting firms, which Attestation Reports are also attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K.   Neither the Servicing Reports nor the Attestation Reports have identified any material instances of noncompliance with the servicing criteria applicable to the Servicing Participants, except as set forth in the immediately following paragraph.
 
The Servicing Report of BNYMTC identified the following material instances of noncompliance by BNYMTC with the applicable servicing criteria:

·  
1122(d)(3)(i): Reports to investors, including those to be filed with the Commission, are maintained in accordance with the transaction agreements and applicable Commission requirements. Specifically, such reports: (B) Provide information calculated in accordance with the terms specified in the transaction agreements.  During the reporting period, certain reports to investors contained information that was not calculated in accordance with the terms specified in the transaction agreements.  However, when management becomes aware that such changes are necessary, the applicable investor reports are revised to reflect payment adjustments made and are maintained in accordance with the terms specified in the transaction agreements.
 
·  
1122(d)(3)(ii): Amounts due to investors are allocated and remitted in accordance with time frames, distribution priority and other terms set forth in the transaction agreements. With respect to certain remittances during the reporting period, amounts due to investors were not allocated and remitted in accordance with the distribution priority and other terms set forth in the transaction agreements.  However, when management becomes aware that such changes are necessary, the applicable payments are adjusted and revisions are made to ensure that future payments will be allocated and remitted in accordance with the distribution priority and other terms set forth in the transaction agreements.

As set forth in Exhibit 33.3 to this Form 10-K, BNYMTC has notified the registrant that KPMG LLP’s testing of items 1122(d)(3)(i) and 1122(d)(3)(ii) was performed on a statistical sample, which included World Financial Network Credit Card Master Note Trust; however, such tests did not uncover any errors or omissions relating to the World Financial Network Credit Card Master Note Trust transactions.  Comenity Bank believes that no material impact to the noteholders resulted from the instances of noncompliance described above.
 
 
Item 1123 of Regulation AB: Servicer Compliance Statement.
 
Each of Comenity Bank and ADS Alliance Data Systems, Inc. has completed a Statement of Compliance with applicable servicing criteria (a “Compliance Statement”) signed by an authorized officer of such servicer.  Each Compliance Statement is attached as an exhibit to this 10-K.

ASSERTION OF COMPLIANCE WITH
APPLICABLE SERVICING CRITERIA


The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly The Bank of New York), BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware (formerly BNYM (Delaware)) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.), (collectively, the “Company”) provides this platform-level assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria specified in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Management has determined that the servicing criteria are applicable in regard to the servicing platform as of and for the period as follows:

Platform: Publicly-issued (i.e., transaction-level reporting initially required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) asset-backed securities issued on or after January 1, 2006 and like-kind transactions issued prior to January 1, 2006 that are subject to Regulation AB for which the Company provides trustee, securities administration or paying agent services, as defined and to the extent applicable in the transaction agreements, other than residential mortgage-backed securities and other mortgage-related asset-backed securities.

Period:  Twelve months ended December 31, 2012 (the “Period”).

Applicable Servicing Criteria: All servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d), to the extent required by the related transaction agreements as to any transaction, except as set forth in the column titled “Not Applicable To Platform” in Appendix 1 attached hereto.

With respect to applicable servicing criteria 1122(d)(2)(iii) and 1122(d)(4)(vii), there were no activities performed during the Period with respect to the Platform, because there were no occurrences of events that would require the Company to perform such activities.

With respect to servicing criterion 1122(d)(2)(vi) management has engaged a vendor to perform the activities required by the servicing criterion.  Management has determined that this vendor is not considered a “servicer” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and management has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criterion applicable to this vendor as permitted by Interpretation 17.06 of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations (“Interpretation 17.06”).  Management has policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that the vendor’s activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criterion applicable to the vendor.  Management is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply Interpretation 17.06 for the vendor and related criterion.

 
 

 



With respect to the Platform and the Period, the Company provides the following assessment of compliance in respect of the Applicable Servicing Criteria:

1.  The Company is responsible for assessing its compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria.

2.  The Company has assessed compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria including the servicing criterion for which compliance is determined based on Interpretation 17.06 as described above.  In performing this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB.

3.  Based on such assessment, as of and for the Period, the Company has complied, in all material respects, with the Applicable Servicing Criteria other than as identified on Schedule A attached.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report with respect to the Company’s compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria as of and for the Period.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors of
Comenity Bank
 
We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Assessment of Compliance with SEC Regulation AB Servicing Criteria, that Comenity Bank (formerly World Financial Network Bank) (the “Company”) complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation AB for the asset-backed securities transactions for which the Company acted as servicer involving credit card receivables, accounts receivable and asset based lending receivables (the "Platform") as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, excluding criteria 1122 (d)(1)(iii) (d)(2)(i), (d)(2)(ii), (d)(2)(iii), (d)(2)(vi), (d)(2)(vii), (d)(3)(i), (d)(3)(ii), (d)(3)(iii), (d)(3)(iv), (d)(4)(i), (d)(4)(iv), (d)(4)(v), (d)(4)(vi), (d)(4)(viii), (d)(4)(ix), (d)(4)(x), (d)(4)(xi), (d)(4)(xii), (d)(4)(xiii), (d)(4)(xiv),  and (d)(4)(xv) which management has determined are not applicable to the activities performed by the Company with respect to the Platform. Appendix B to management's assertion identifies the individual asset-backed transactions defined by management as constituting the Platform. Management is responsible for the Company's compliance with the servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the Company's compliance with the servicing criteria based on our examination.
 
Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with the applicable servicing criteria, including tests on a sample basis of the servicing activities related to the Platform, determining whether the Company performed those selected activities in compliance with the servicing criteria during the specified period, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Our procedures were limited to selected servicing activities performed by the Company during the period covered by this report and, accordingly, such samples may not have included servicing activities related to each asset-backed transaction included in the Platform. Further, an examination is not designed to detect noncompliance arising from errors that may have occurred prior to the period specified above that may have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company during the period covered by this report. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company's compliance with the servicing criteria.
 
In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with the aforementioned applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 for the Platform is fairly stated, in all material respects.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors:
The  Bank of New York Mellon
BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.:
 
We have examined the compliance of The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly The Bank of New York), BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware (formerly BNYM (Delaware)) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly The Bank of New York Trust, Company, N.A.), (collectively, the “Company”) with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation AB for the publicly-issued (i.e., transaction-level reporting initially required under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) asset-backed securities issued on or after January 1, 2006 and like-kind transactions issued prior to January 1, 2006 that are subject to Regulation AB for which the Company provides trustee, securities administration or paying agent services, as defined and to the extent applicable in the transaction agreements, other than residential mortgage-backed securities and other mortgage-related asset-backed securities (the Platform), except for servicing criteria 1122(d)(1)(iii), 1122(d)(1)(iv), 1122(d)(4)(vi), 1122(d)(4)(viii), 1122(d)(4)(x), 1122(d)(4)(xi), 1122(d)(4)(xii), 1122(d)(4)(xiii) and 1122(d)(4)(xiv), which the Company has determined are not applicable to the activities it performs with respect to the Platform, as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. With respect to applicable servicing criteria 1122(d)(2)(iii) and 1122(d)(4)(vii), the Company has determined that there were no activities performed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 with respect to the Platform, because there were no occurrences of events that would require the Company to perform such activities. Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s compliance based on our examination.
 
Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria specified above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Our examination included testing selected asset-backed transactions and securities that comprise the Platform, testing selected servicing activities related to the Platform, and determining whether the Company processed those selected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance with the servicing criteria. Furthermore, our procedures were limited to the selected transactions and servicing activities performed by the Company during the period covered by this report. Our procedures were not designed to determine whether errors may have occurred either prior to or subsequent to our tests that may have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company during the period covered by this report for the selected transactions or any other transactions. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria.
 

 
 

 
 


 

 
As described in the Company’s Assertion of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria, for servicing criterion 1122(d)(2)(vi), the Company has engaged a vendor to perform the activities required by this servicing criterion. The Company has determined that this vendor is 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 servicing criterion applicable to this vendor as permitted by Interpretation 17.06 of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations (“Interpretation 17.06”). As permitted by Interpretation 17.06, the Company has asserted that it has policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that the vendor’s activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criterion applicable to the vendor. The Company is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply Interpretation 17.06 for the vendor and related criterion as described in its Assertion of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria, and we performed no procedures with respect to the Company’s eligibility to apply Interpretation 17.06.
 
Our examination disclosed the following material noncompliance with servicing criteria 1122(d)(3)(i)(B) and 1122(d)(3)(ii), as applicable to the Company during the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 as follows:
 
·  
With respect to servicing criterion 1122(d)(3)(i)(B), certain reports to investors contained information that was not calculated in accordance with the terms specified in the transaction agreements.
 
·  
With respect to servicing criterion 1122(d)(3)(ii), certain distributions to investors were not allocated and remitted in accordance with distribution priority and other terms set forth in the transaction agreements.
 
In our opinion, except for the material noncompliance described above, the Company complied, in all material respects, with the aforementioned servicing criteria, including criterion 1122(d)(2)(vi) for which compliance is determined based on Interpretation 17.06 as described above, as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.
 
We do not express an opinion or any form of assurance on the paragraphs titled “Remediation” included in Schedule A “Material Instances of Noncompliance by the Company” to management’s Assertion of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.

We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Assessment of Compliance with SEC Regulation AB Servicing Criteria, that Union Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UnionBanCal Corporation, complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation AB for the World Financial Network Credit Card Master Note Trust (the "Platform") as of December 31, 2012, and for the period from June 26, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012, excluding criteria 1122(d) 1(i), 1(ii), 1(iii),1(iv), 2(i), 2(iii), 2(iv), 2(v), 2(vi), 2(vii), 3(i), 3(ii), 3(iv), (4)(i), 4(ii), 4(iii), 4(iv), 4(v), 4(vi), 4(vii), 4(viii), 4(ix),4(x), 4(xi), 4(xii), 4(xiii), 4(xiv), and 4(xv), which management has determined are not applicable to the activities performed by the Bank with respect to the Platform. Management is responsible for the Bank’s compliance with the servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the Bank’s compliance with the servicing criteria based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Bank’s compliance with the applicable servicing criteria, including tests on a sample basis of the servicing activities related to the Platform, determining whether the Bank performed those selected activities in compliance with the servicing criteria during the specified period, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Our procedures were limited to selected servicing activities performed by the Bank during the period covered by this report and, accordingly, such samples may not have included servicing activities related to each asset-backed transaction included in the Platform. Further, an examination is not designed to detect noncompliance arising from errors that may have occurred prior to the period specified above that may have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Bank during the period covered by this report. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Bank’s compliance with the servicing criteria.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Bank complied with the aforementioned applicable servicing criteria as of December 31, 2012, and for the period from June 26, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012 for the World Financial Network Credit Card Master Note Trust is fairly stated, in all material respects.
