Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

In December 2014, Phoenix Light SF Limited and certain related entities and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) filed complaints in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Wells Fargo Bank, alleging claims against Wells Fargo Bank in its capacity as trustee for a number of residential mortgage-backed securities trusts. Complaints raising similar allegations have been filed by Commerzbank AG in the Southern District of New York and by IKB International and IKB Deutsche Industriebank in New York state court. In each case, the plaintiffs allege that Wells Fargo Bank, as trustee, caused losses to investors, and plaintiffs assert causes of action based upon, among other things, the trustee’s alleged failure to notify and enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties, notify investors of alleged events of default, and abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Wells Fargo Bank previously settled two class action lawsuits with similar allegations that were filed in November 2014 and December 2016 by institutional investors in the Southern District of New York and New York state court, respectively. In addition, Park Royal I LLC and Park Royal II LLC have filed complaints in New York state court alleging Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee, failed to take appropriate actions upon learning of defective mortgage loan documentation. In March 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to resolve the case filed by the NCUA.

 

In addition to the foregoing cases, in August 2014 and August 2015 Nomura Credit & Capital Inc. (“Nomura”) and Natixis Real Estate Holdings, LLC (“Natixis”) filed a total of seven third-party complaints against Wells Fargo Bank in New York state court. In the underlying first-party actions, Nomura and Natixis have been sued for alleged breaches of representations and warranties made in connection with residential mortgage-backed securities sponsored by them. In the third-party actions, Nomura and Natixis allege that Wells Fargo Bank, as master servicer, primary servicer or securities administrator, failed to notify Nomura and Natixis of their own breaches, failed to properly oversee the primary servicers, and failed to adhere to accepted servicing practices. Natixis additionally alleges that Wells Fargo Bank failed to perform default oversight duties. Wells Fargo Bank has asserted counterclaims alleging that Nomura and Natixis failed to provide Wells Fargo Bank notice of their representation and warranty breaches. 

With respect to each of the foregoing litigations, Wells Fargo Bank believes plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intends to contest the claims vigorously, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome of the litigations or the possible impact of the litigations on Wells Fargo Bank or the related RMBS trusts

Item 1119 of Regulation AB, Affiliations and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. 

The seller and servicing administrator, the sponsor and the depositor are each either directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries of Redwood Trust, Inc. There is not currently, and there was not during the past two years, any material business relationship, agreement, arrangement, transaction or understanding that is or was entered into outside the ordinary course of business or is or was on terms other than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with an unrelated third party, between (a) any of the seller, the sponsor, the depositor and the issuing entity on the one hand and (b) any of the trustee, any servicer, the custodian, the master servicer, the securities administrator or either originator of the mortgage loans on the other hand. 

Item 1122 of Regulation AB, Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria. 

The reports on assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria for asset-backed securities and the related attestation reports on such assessments of compliance are attached hereto under Item 15. 

The registrant has prepared the Table below in connection with this transaction. The Table shows, in one compiled format, which entity participating in a servicing function for this transaction was assigned responsibility for each criterion in Item 1122(d). In the Table below, certain criteria are not applicable, given the structure of the offering, and accordingly no entity is assigned responsibility for such criteria. 

On November 1, 2021, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. transferred substantially all of its Corporate Trust Services business to Computershare Trust Company, N.A. and its affiliates. For certain transactions where one or more of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.’s roles did not transfer to Computershare Trust Company, N.A. on November 1, 2021, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. engaged Computershare Trust Company, N.A. as its agent to perform certain duties under the related transaction documents. Therefore, the reports on assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria for asset-backed securities and the related attestation reports on such assessments of compliance of Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as agent to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in its capacities as master servicer and custodian are included under Item 15.

Also, Christiana Trust, a division of Wilmington Savings Fund Society FSB (“Christiana”), the trustee, does not participate in any servicing function for the transaction that is the subject of this 10-K filing. Therefore, there is no reference to Christiana in the chart below; nor does this 10-K filing include any assessment or auditor report from Christiana. Finally, any discrepancies between the chart below and the assessment of compliance exhibit provided by any party listed in the chart is explained by the fact that the chart is

specific to the transaction that is the subject of this 10-K filing, whereas each party’s respective assessment of compliance is issued on a platform basis and includes coverage of other additional transactions that are not the subject of this 10-K filing.

Material Instance of Noncompliance by the Company

 

Management’s assessment of compliance with the Pre-Sale Applicable Servicing Criteria set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB for the Period, disclosed  that a material instance of noncompliance occurred with respect to the servicing criterion set forth in Item  1122(d)(2)(v) for the Pre-Sale Period as follows. 

 

|   | • | With respect to servicing criterion 1122(d)(2)(v), custodial accounts for certain transactions on the RMBS  Master Servicing Platform were not maintained at a federally insured depository institution as set forth in  the transaction agreements because they did not satisfy account eligibility requirements. |   |

|   | • | “Each custodial account is maintained at a federally insured depository institution as set forth in the transaction agreements.

Management’s Discussion of the Material Instance of Noncompliance During the Pre-Sale Period

 

1122(d)(2)(v) – Maintenance of Custodial Accounts: 

 

(a)The transaction agreements for the RMBS Master Servicing Platform transactions require the institutions maintaining custodial accounts for each transaction to satisfy certain eligibility criteria. Generally, such eligibility criteria can be satisfied if the institution holding the account either (i) possesses requisite long and/or short-term credit ratings from the specified rating agency(ies) (collectively, the “Requisite Ratings”), or (ii) satisfies one of the other alternative means of establishing account eligibility (collectively, “Alternative Means”). For the Pre-Sale Period, Management has determined that certain custodial accounts held at Wells Fargo for certain transactions in the RMBS Master Servicing Platform were not maintained “as set forth in the transaction agreements” because (i) the Company’s or the Company’s holding company, as applicable, long and/or short-term issuer ratings during the Pre-Sale Period were lower than the related Requisite Ratings thresholds for such transactions, and (ii) there was no Alternative Means during the Pre-Sale Period to satisfy account eligibility requirements for such transactions.

 

(b)In December 2019, for approximately 1,200 transactions that were on the RMBS Master Servicing Platform at the time, the Company sent notices to investors and certain transaction parties, including trustees, for which the Company, at the time, believed there was, or could be, account eligibility noncompliance (the “December 2019 Notice”). Based on its review, the Company concluded in its 2019 and 2020 Assessments of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria that the scope of (i.e. number of impacted transactions with) account eligibility noncompliance for the RMBS Master Servicing Platform was less than half of the approximately 1,200 RMBS Master Servicing Platform transactions listed on the December 2019 Notice.

(c)Management believes that, as of the end of the Pre-Sale Period, less than one third of the 1,450 RMBS Master Servicing transactions listed on Appendix A to this 2021 Assessment of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria have account eligibility noncompliance. During the Pre-Sale Period, in response to questions it received from some trustees for some transactions with account eligibility noncompliance, the Company provided information to such trustees on the status of remediating transactions with account eligibility noncompliance. During the Pre-Sale Period, it was determined that one additional RMBS Master Servicing Platform transaction with account eligibility noncompliance that was not included on the December 2019 Notice. With the sale of the Corporate Trust Services division to Computershare on November 1, 2021, Computershare either as Wells Fargo’s agent or as successor to Wells Fargo’s master servicing role (when and if such succession occurs), has taken responsibility for remediating RMBS Master Servicing Platform transactions with account eligibility noncompliance since, in either capacity, it is performing the activities related to Item 1122(d)(2)(v).

(d)Although the lack of Requisite Ratings or Alternative Means described above resulted in technical noncompliance with the relevant transaction agreements, Management believes that such technical noncompliance does not have a material impact on either (i) the Company’s ability to master service the transactions itself, or through its agent, in accordance with the transaction agreements, or (ii) the securities issued in connection with the related transactions or the investors holding such securities.

The identified instance did not involve the servicing of the assets backing the asset-backed securities covered in this Form 10-K.

|   | c) | Management believes that, as of the end of the Period, less than one third of the 1,435 RMBS Master Servicing transactions listed on Appendix A to this 2021 Assessment of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria have account eligibility noncompliance. During the Period, in response to questions it received from some trustees for some transactions with account eligibility noncompliance, the Company provided information to such trustees on the status of remediating transactions with account eligibility noncompliance. With the purchase of the Corporate Trust Services division from Wells Fargo on November 1, 2021, Computershare, either as Wells Fargo’s agent or as successor to Wells Fargo’s master servicing role (when and if such succession occurs), has taken responsibility for remediating RMBS Master Servicing Platform transactions with account eligibility noncompliance since, in either capacity, it is performing the activities related to Item 1122(d)(2)(v). The Company is currently pursuing action to remediate the account eligibility noncompliance for the affected transactions in the RMBS Master Servicing Platform. |   |
