**Item1117 of Regulation AB, Legal Proceedings.**

 

Disclosurefrom Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator:

 

Beginningon June 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors filed civil complaints inthe Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and later the U.S.District Court for the Southern District of New York, against Wells Fargo Bank,N.A., (“Wells Fargo Bank”) in its capacity as trustee for certain residentialmortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts.  The complaints against WellsFargo Bank alleged that the trustee caused losses to investors and assertedcauses of action based upon, among other things, the trustee's alleged failureto: (i) notify and enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers forpurported breaches of representations and warranties, (ii) notify investors ofalleged events of default, and (iii) abide by appropriate standards of carefollowing alleged events of default. Relief sought included money damages in anunspecified amount, reimbursement of expenses, and equitable relief. InNovember 2018, Wells Fargo Bank reached an agreement, in which it denied anywrongdoing, to resolve such claims on a classwide basis for the 271 RMBS trustsat issue.  On May 6, 2019, the court entered an order approving thesettlement agreement.  Separate lawsuits against Wells Fargo Bank makingsimilar allegations filed by certain other institutional investors concerningseveral RMBS trusts in New York federal and state court are not covered by theagreement.  With respect to such 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 RMBStrusts.

**Item1122 of Regulation AB, Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.**

 

Thereports on assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria forasset-backed securities and the related attestation reports on such assessmentsof compliance are attached hereto under Item 15.

The report on assessment of compliance with applicableservicing criteria furnished pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB by MidlandLoan Services, a Division of PNC Bank National Association (“Midland”)discloses that a material instance of noncompliance occurred, as describedbelow:

Material Instance of Noncompliance

In certain instances, the Schedule AL Files (Item 1125of Regulation AB) were not reported in accordance with the terms specified inthe transaction agreements, in conflict with Item 1122(d)(3)(i): “Reports toinvestors, including those to be filed with the Commission, are maintained in accordancewith the transaction agreements and applicable Commission requirements.Specifically, such reports: (A) Are prepared in accordance with timeframes andother terms set forth in the transaction agreements”.  The noncomplianceconsisted of omitted or inaccurately reported fields as described in (1) and(2) below.  (1) In connection with other enhancements Midland made to itsmanual Schedule AL process, starting in April 2019, Midland developed andimplemented new Schedule AL reporting templates for each applicable CMBStransaction that closed prior to April 2019 and for each applicable CMBStransaction going forward.  Related to this, Midland made certain templatesetup errors, along with related and other manual inputting of informationerrors, and the errors were not identified prior to submission of theapplicable Schedule AL Files in certain cases due to breakdowns in qualitycontrol.  (2) In one applicable transaction, the related Schedule AL Filefor a given month was not saved properly resulting in the prior month'sSchedule AL File being submitted for the given month instead of the correctSchedule AL File.

The identified instances did not involve the servicingof the assets backing the asset-backed securities covered in this Form 10-K.

Steps Taken to Remedy the Material Instance ofNoncompliance

Midland’s Schedule AL reporting process was enhanced inApril of 2019, however, the process remained manual throughout the 2019calendar year.  Errors relating to certain Schedule AL Files during 2019were identified during the related audit.  Following identification,Midland made staffing changes and additional enhancements and improvements toits processes and procedures to support its Schedule AL reporting obligationsand expects to move to an automated solution for this process.
