The Peachtree Mall Mortgage Loan is an asset of theissuing entity and is part of a loan combination that includes the PeachtreeMall Mortgage Loan and three other *pari passu* loans, which are notassets of the issuing entity. A *pari passu* portion of the loancombination was securitized in the CSAIL 2016-C7 Commercial Mortgage Trusttransaction, Commission File Number 333-207361-03 (the “CSAIL 2016-C7Transaction”). This loan combination, including the Peachtree Mall MortgageLoan, is being serviced and administered pursuant to the pooling and servicingagreement for the CSAIL 2016-C7 Transaction, which is incorporated by referenceas Exhibit 4.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Exhibit Index describesexhibits provided by certain parties (in their capacities indicated on theExhibit Index) with respect to the DoubleTree by Hilton Tempe Mortgage Loan,which constituted approximately 1.5% of the asset pool of the issuing entity asof its cut-off date.  The DoubleTree by Hilton Tempe Mortgage Loan is anasset of the issuing entity and is part of a loan combination that includes theDoubleTree by Hilton Tempe Mortgage Loan and one other *pari passu* loan,which is not an asset of the issuing entity. The other *pari passu*portion of the loan combination was securitized in the Wells Fargo CommercialMortgage Trust 2016-C37 transaction, Commission File Number 333-206677-12 (the“WFCM 2016-C37 Transaction”). This loan combination, including theDoubleTree by Hilton Tempe Mortgage Loan, is being serviced and administered pursuantto the pooling and servicing agreement for the WFCM 2016-C37 Transaction, whichis incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.3 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The master servicer of a poolingand servicing agreement or trust and servicing agreement also functions as theprimary servicer of the related mortgage loans serviced and administeredpursuant to such agreement unless a separate primary servicer is identifiedherein.  If this report does not identify a separate primary servicer, theservicer compliance statement provided by the master servicer under any suchagreement also encompasses its responsibilities as primary servicer of therelated mortgage loan or mortgage loans.

Wells Fargo Bank, NationalAssociation is the general master servicer (except with respect to thosemortgage loans for which National Cooperative Bank, N.A. is the masterservicer) and certificate administrator of the mortgage loans serviced underthe Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the primary servicer of the Peachtree MallMortgage Loan and the DoubleTree by Hilton Tempe Mortgage Loan. As a result,Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is a “servicer” as defined in Item1108(a)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, in the capacities described above, because itis servicing mortgage loans that constituted 10% or more of the assets of theissuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance withapplicable servicing criteria, accountants’ attestation reports and servicercompliance statements delivered by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association inthe capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the custodian ofthe mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the PeachtreeMall Mortgage Loan and the DoubleTree by Hilton Tempe Mortgage Loan.  As aresult, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is a servicing functionparticipant in the capacities described above, because it is servicing mortgageloans that constituted 5% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of itscut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteriaand accountants’ attestation reports delivered by Wells Fargo Bank, NationalAssociation in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

Wilmington Trust, NationalAssociation acts as trustee of the mortgage loans serviced under the Poolingand Servicing Agreement, the Peachtree Mall Mortgage Loan and the DoubleTree byHilton Tempe Mortgage Loan.  Pursuant to the Pooling and ServicingAgreement, the pooling and servicing agreement for the CSAIL 2016-C7Transaction and the pooling and servicing agreement for the WFCM 2016-C37Transaction, the trustee is required to provide an assessment of compliance withapplicable servicing criteria solely with respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) ofRegulation AB (regarding advances of funds or guarantees regarding collections,cash flows or distributions, and any interest or other fees charged for suchadvances, are made, reviewed and approved as specified in the transactionagreements). However, during the reporting period, the trustee did not performany servicing function 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, the Peachtree Mall Mortgage Loan and theDoubleTree by Hilton Tempe Mortgage Loan have delivered one or more assessmentsof compliance 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 Solutions, LLC.  Thisentity was engaged by the master servicer under the Pooling and ServicingAgreement (except with respect to those mortgage loans for which NationalCooperative Bank, N.A. is the master servicer) and the primary servicer of thePeachtree Mall Mortgage Loan and the DoubleTree by Hilton Tempe Mortgage Loanto remit tax payments received from the escrow accounts of borrowers to localtaxing authorities, to report tax amounts due, to verify tax parcelinformation, and to verify non-escrow tax payments. These servicing functionsare included within the servicing criteria set forth in Items 1122(d)(4)(xi)and 1122(d)(4)(xii) of Regulation AB.  Therefore, under theprinciples-based definition of “servicer” set forth in Item 1101(j) ofRegulation AB that looks to the functions that an entity performs, this vendor isa “servicer” for the purposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB.  *See*Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, Section 301.01 (Item 1101(j)).

This Annual Report on Form 10-Kincludes an assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria,accountants’ attestation report and servicer compliance statement fromComputershare Trust Company, National Association (“CTCNA”).  CTCNAwas engaged by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”),in its capacity as certificate administrator and custodian, to perform certainspecified servicing functions identified in the assessment of compliance withapplicable servicing criteria and accountants’ attestation reports.  WellsFargo engaged CTCNA in connection with the sale of Wells Fargo’s corporate trustservices business to CTCNA and its affiliates.  Further, under theprinciples-based definition of “servicer” set forth in Item 1101(j) ofRegulation AB that looks to the functions that an entity performs, this partyis a “servicer” for the purposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB.  SeeCompliance and Disclosure Interpretations, Section 301.01 (Item 1101(j)).

Theassessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria, accountants’attestation reports and servicer compliance statements of the certificate administratorof the Peachtree Mall Mortgage Loan and the DoubleTree by Hilton Tempe MortgageLoan are omitted from this Annual Report on Form 10-K as the certificateadministrator pursuant to the related pooling and servicing agreement or trustand servicing agreement does not perform any activities that address servicingcriteria with respect to the issuing entity and because they are each not a“servicer” that meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) ofRegulation AB.

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, ascertificate administrator and as custodian. 

 

In December 2014, Phoenix LightSF Limited and certain related entities and the National Credit UnionAdministration (NCUA) filed complaints in the United States District Court for theSouthern District of New York against Wells Fargo Bank, alleging claims againstWells Fargo Bank in its capacity as trustee for a number of residentialmortgage-backed securities trusts. Complaints raising similar allegations havebeen filed by Commerzbank AG in the Southern District of New York and by IKBInternational and IKB Deutsche Industriebank in New York state court. In eachcase, the plaintiffs allege that Wells Fargo Bank, as trustee, caused losses toinvestors, and plaintiffs assert causes of action based upon, among otherthings, the trustee’s alleged failure to notify and enforce repurchaseobligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representationsand warranties, notify investors of alleged events of default, and abide byappropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Wells FargoBank previously settled two class action lawsuits with similar allegations thatwere filed in November 2014 and December 2016 by institutional investors in theSouthern District of New York and New York state court, respectively. Inaddition, Park Royal I LLC and Park Royal II LLC have filed complaints in NewYork state court alleging Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee, failed to takeappropriate actions upon learning of defective mortgage loan documentation. InMarch 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to resolve the case filed bythe NCUA.

 

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

 With respect to each of the foregoing litigations, Wells Fargo Bank believesplaintiffs' claims are without merit and intends to contest the claimsvigorously, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome of the litigationsor the possible impact of the litigations on Wells Fargo Bank or the relatedRMBS trusts.
