**EXPLANATORY NOTES**

Deutsche Bank National TrustCompany acts as trustee of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling andServicing Agreement.  Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, thetrustee is required to provide an assessment of compliance with applicableservicing criteria solely with respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB(regarding advances of funds or guarantees regarding collections, cash flows ordistributions, and any interest or other fees charged for such advances, aremade, reviewed and approved as specified in the transaction agreements).However, during the reporting period, the trustee did not perform any servicingfunction with respect to the servicing criteria specified in Item1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB.  The master servicer or the specialservicer, to the extent required, performed the servicing function identifiedwith respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, and each such partyincluded Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB in the assessment of compliancewith applicable servicing criteria and accountant’s attestation report for thesubject transaction.  As a result, this Annual Report on Form 10-K doesnot include an assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria ofthe trustee. One or more other servicers of the mortgage loans serviced underthe Pooling and Servicing Agreement have delivered one or more assessments ofcompliance with respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB.

This Annual Report on Form 10-Kincludes assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria andaccountants’ attestation reports from CoreLogic Commercial Real EstateServices, Inc. and National Tax Search, LLC.  These entities were engagedby the master servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to remit taxpayments received from the escrow accounts of borrowers to local taxingauthorities, to report tax amounts due, to verify tax parcel information, andto verify non-escrow tax payments. These servicing functions are includedwithin the servicing criteria set forth in Items 1122(d)(4)(xi) and1122(d)(4)(xii) of Regulation AB.  Therefore, under the principles-baseddefinition of “servicer” set forth in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB that looksto the functions that an entity performs, these vendors are “servicers” for thepurposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB.  *See* Compliance andDisclosure Interpretations, Section 301.01 (Item 1101(j)).

**Item 1117 of Regulation AB, Legal Proceedings.**

The registrant knows of no material pending legal proceedinginvolving the trust or any party related to the trust, other than routinelitigation incidental to the duties of those respective parties, and thefollowing, with respect to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as trustee, andWells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator and ascustodian.

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“DBTCA”) and DeutscheBank National Trust Company (“DBNTC”) have been sued by investors in civillitigation concerning their role as trustees of certain RMBS trusts. On June18, 2014, a group of investors, including funds managed by Blackrock Advisors,LLC, PIMCO-Advisors, L.P., and others, filed an action against DBNTC and DBTCAin New York State Supreme Court alleging that DBNTC and DBTCA failed to performpurported duties, as trustees for 544 private-label RMBS trusts, to enforcebreaches of representations and warranties as to mortgage loans held by thetrusts and to enforce breaches by servicers of their mortgage loan servicingobligations for the trusts.  During the course of the litigation,plaintiffs dismissed the case from New York State Supreme Court and refiled twoseparate cases, one in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of NewYork (the “BlackRock SDNY Case”) and the other in the Superior Court ofCalifornia, Orange County (the “BlackRock California Case”).  Pursuant toa settlement among the parties, the BlackRock SDNY Case was dismissed onDecember 6, 2018 and the BlackRock California Case was dismissed on January 11,2019.

On September 27, 2017, DBTCA was added as a defendant to acase brought by certain special purpose entities including Phoenix Light SFLimited in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, inwhich the plaintiffs previously alleged incorrectly that DBNTC served astrustee for all 43 of the trusts at issue.  On September 27, 2017,plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint that names DBTCA as a defendant inaddition to DBNTC.  DBTCA serves as trustee for one of the 43 trusts atissue.  DBNTC serves as trustee for the other 42 trusts at issue. Plaintiffs’ third amended complaint brings claims for violation of the U.S.Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“TIA”); breach of contract; breach of fiduciaryduty; negligence and gross negligence; violation of New York’s Streit Act; andbreach of the covenant of good faith.  However, in the third amendedcomplaint, plaintiffs acknowledge that, before DBTCA was added to the case, thecourt dismissed plaintiffs’ TIA Act claims, negligence and gross negligenceclaims, Streit Act claims, claims for breach of the covenant of good faith, andcertain theories of plaintiffs’ breach of contract claims, and plaintiffs onlyinclude these claims to preserve any rights on appeal.  Plaintiffs allegedamages of “hundreds of millions of dollars.”  On November 13, 2017, DBNTCand DBTCA filed an answer to the third amended complaint.  On December 7,2018, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a motion for summary judgment.  Also onDecember 7, 2018, plaintiffs, jointly with Commerzbank AG (see description ofCommerzbank case below), filed a motion for partial summary judgment.  Asof March 1, 2020, both motions for summary judgment have been briefed and areawaiting decision by the court.

On November 30, 2017, DBTCA was added as a defendant to acase brought by Commerzbank AG (“Commerzbank”) in the U.S. District Court forthe Southern District of New York, in which Commerzbank previously allegedincorrectly that DBNTC served as trustee for all 50 of the trusts atissue.  On November 30, 2017, Commerzbank filed a second amended complaintthat names DBTCA as a defendant in addition to DBNTC.  DBTCA serves astrustee for 1 of the 50 trusts at issue.  DBNTC serves as trustee for theother 49 trusts at issue.  Commerzbank’s second amended complaint bringsclaims for violation of the TIA; breach of contract; breach of fiduciary duty;negligence; violation of the Streit Act; and breach of the covenant of goodfaith.  However, in the second amended complaint, Commerzbank acknowledgesthat, before DBTCA was added to the case, the court dismissed Commerzbank’s TIAclaims for the trusts governed by pooling and servicing agreements, as well asits Streit Act claims and claims for breach of the covenant of good faith, andCommerzbank only includes these claims to preserve any rights on appeal. The second amended complaint alleges that DBNTC and DBTCA caused Commerzbank tosuffer “hundreds of millions of dollars in losses,” but the complaint does notinclude a demand for money damages in a sum certain.  On January 29, 2018,DBNTC and DBTCA filed an answer to the second amended complaint.  OnDecember 7, 2018, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a motion for summary judgment. Also on December 7, 2018, Commerzbank, jointly with the Phoenix Lightplaintiffs, filed a motion for partial summary judgment.  As of March 1,2020, both motions for summary judgment have been briefed and are awaitingdecision by the court.

On December 30, 2015, IKB International, S.A. in Liquidationand IKB Deutsche Industriebank A.G. (collectively, “IKB”), as an investor in 37RMBS trusts, filed a summons with notice in the Supreme Court of the State ofNew York, New York County, against DBNTC and DBTCA as trustees of thetrusts.  On May 27, 2016, IKB served its complaint asserting claims forbreach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty to avoid conflictsof interest, violation of the Streit Act, violation of the TIA, violation ofRegulation AB, and violation of Section 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. IKB alleges that DBNTC and DBTCA are liable for over U.S. $268 million indamages.  On October 5, 2016, DBNTC and DBTCA, together with several othertrustees defending lawsuits by IKB, filed a joint motion to dismiss.  OnJanuary 6, 2017 and June 20, 2017, IKB voluntarily dismissed with prejudice allclaims as to seven trusts.  As of March 1, 2020, DBNTC and DBTCA’s motionto dismiss has been briefed and is awaiting decision by the court.

It is DBTCA’s belief that it has no pending legal proceedings(including, based on DBTCA’s present evaluation, the litigation disclosed inthe foregoing paragraphs) that would materially affect its ability to performits duties under the related servicing agreement for this transaction.

Beginning on June 18, 2014, a group of institutionalinvestors filed civil complaints in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,New York County, and later the U.S. District Court for the Southern District ofNew York, against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., (“Wells Fargo Bank”) in its capacityas trustee for certain residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts. The complaints against Wells Fargo Bank alleged that the trustee caused lossesto investors and asserted causes of action based upon, among other things, thetrustee's alleged failure to: (i) notify and enforce repurchase obligations ofmortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties,(ii) notify investors of alleged events of default, and (iii) abide byappropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Reliefsought included money damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement ofexpenses, and equitable relief. In November 2018, Wells Fargo Bank reached anagreement, in which it denied any wrongdoing, to resolve such claims on aclasswide basis for the 271 RMBS trusts at issue.  On May 6, 2019, thecourt entered an order approving the settlement agreement.  Separatelawsuits against Wells Fargo Bank making similar allegations filed by certainother institutional investors concerning several RMBS trusts in New Yorkfederal and state court are not covered by the agreement.  With respect tosuch litigations, Wells Fargo Bank believes plaintiffs' claims are withoutmerit and intends to contest the claims vigorously, but there can be noassurances as to the outcome of the litigations or the possible impact of thelitigations on Wells Fargo Bank or the RMBS trusts.
