**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 Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee,certificate administrator and custodian:

On June 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors filed acivil complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County,against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo Bank”) in its capacity as trusteeunder 276 residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts, which waslater amended on July 18, 2014, to increase the number of trusts to 284 RMBStrusts. On November 24, 2014, the plaintiffs filed a motion to voluntarilydismiss the state court action without prejudice. That same day, a group ofinstitutional investors filed a putative class action complaint in the UnitedStates District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “DistrictCourt”) against Wells Fargo Bank, alleging claims against the bank in itscapacity as trustee for 274 RMBS trusts (the “Federal Court Complaint”). InDecember 2014, the plaintiffs’ motion to voluntarily dismiss their originalstate court action was granted. As with the prior state court action, theFederal Court Complaint is one of six similar complaints filedcontemporaneously against RMBS trustees (Deutsche Bank, Citibank, HSBC, Bank ofNew York Mellon and US Bank) by a group of institutional investor plaintiffs.The Federal Court Complaint against Wells Fargo Bank alleges that the trusteecaused losses to investors and asserts causes of action based upon, among otherthings, the trustee's alleged failure to: (i) notify and enforce repurchaseobligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representationsand warranties, (ii) notify investors of alleged events of default, and (iii)abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events of default.Relief sought includes money damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement ofexpenses, and equitable relief. Other cases alleging similar causes of actionhave been filed against Wells Fargo Bank and other trustees in the DistrictCourt by RMBS investors in these and other transactions, and these casesagainst Wells Fargo Bank are proceeding before the same District Court judge. Asimilar complaint was also filed May 27, 2016 in New York state court by adifferent plaintiff investor. On January 19, 2016, an order was entered inconnection with the Federal Court Complaint in which the District Courtdeclined to exercise jurisdiction over 261 trusts at issue in the Federal CourtComplaint; the District Court also allowed plaintiffs to file amendedcomplaints as to the remaining, non-dismissed trusts, if they so chose, andthree amended complaints have been filed. On December 17, 2016, the investorplaintiffs in the 261 trusts dismissed from the Federal Court Complaint filed anew complaint in New York state court (the “State Court Complaint”). InSeptember 2017, Royal Park Investments SA/NV (“Royal Park”), one of theplaintiffs in the District Court cases against Wells Fargo Bank, filed aputative class action complaint relating to two trusts seeking declaratory andinjunctive relief and money damages based on Wells Fargo Bank’s indemnificationfrom trust funds for legal fees and expenses Wells Fargo Bank incurs or hasincurred in defending the District Court case filed by Royal Park. With respectto the foregoing litigations, Wells Fargo Bank believes plaintiffs' claims arewithout merit 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.
