Disclosurefrom Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator:

 

OnJune 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors filed a civil complaint inthe Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, against WellsFargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo Bank”), in its capacity as trusteeunder 276 residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts,which was later amended on July 18, 2014, to increase the number of trusts to284 RMBS trusts. On November 24, 2014, the plaintiffs filed a motion tovoluntarily dismiss the state court action without prejudice. That same day, agroup of institutional investors filed a putative class action complaint in theUnited States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the“District Court”) against Wells Fargo Bank, alleging claims againstthe bank in its capacity as trustee for 274 RMBS trusts (the “FederalCourt Complaint”). In December 2014, the plaintiffs’ motion tovoluntarily dismiss their original state court action was granted. As with theprior state court action, the Federal Court Complaint is one of six similarcomplaints filed contemporaneously against RMBS trustees (Deutsche Bank,Citibank, HSBC, Bank of New York Mellon and US Bank) by a group ofinstitutional investor plaintiffs. The Federal Court Complaint against WellsFargo Bank alleges that the trustee caused losses to investors and assertscauses 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 includes money damages in anunspecified amount, reimbursement of expenses, and equitable relief. Othercases alleging similar causes of action have been filed against Wells FargoBank and other trustees in the District Court by RMBS investors in these andother transactions, and these cases against Wells Fargo Bank are proceedingbefore the same District Court judge. A similar complaint was also filed May27, 2016 in New York state court by a different plaintiff investor. On January19, 2016, an order was entered in connection with the Federal Court Complaintin which the District Court declined to exercise jurisdiction over 261 trustsat issue in the Federal Court Complaint; the District Court also allowedplaintiffs to file amended complaints as to the remaining, non-dismissedtrusts, if they so chose, and three amended complaints have been filed. OnDecember 17, 2016, the investor plaintiffs in the 261 trusts dismissed from theFederal Court Complaint filed a new complaint in New York state court (the“State Court Complaint”). In September 2017, Royal Park InvestmentsSA/NV (“Royal Park”), one of the plaintiffs in the District Courtcases against Wells Fargo Bank, filed a putative class action complaintrelating to two trusts seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and moneydamages based on Wells Fargo Bank’s indemnification from trust funds forlegal fees and expenses Wells Fargo Bank incurs or has incurred in defendingthe District Court case filed by Royal Park. With respect to the foregoinglitigations, Wells Fargo Bank believes plaintiffs' claims are without merit andintends to contest the claims vigorously, but there can be no assurances as tothe outcome of the litigations or the possible impact of the litigations onWells Fargo Bank or the RMBS trusts.

 

Disclosurefrom KeyBank National Association, as master servicer:

 

On February 23, 2016, acertificateholder of the J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage SecuritiesTrust, Series 2007-CIBC18 (the “Trust”) filed suit in the SupremeCourt of New York, County of New York, against KeyBank National Association andBerkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC (collectively, the“Servicers”).  The suit was filed derivatively on behalf ofthe Trust.  The action was brought in connection with the Servicers’determination of the fair value of a loan, secured by the Bryant Park Hotel inNew York City, held by the Trust and sold to an assignee of the Trust’sdirecting certificateholder, pursuant to an exercise of the fair value optionset forth in the pooling and servicing agreement governing the Trust. There can be no assurances as to the outcome of the action or the possibleimpact of the litigation on the Servicers.  Both Servicers deny liability,believe that they performed their obligations in accordance with the terms ofthe pooling and servicing agreement, and have contested the claims assertedagainst them, filing a motion to dismiss the case.  On November 28, 2016,the Servicers’ motion to dismiss was granted.  The plaintiff certificateholderhas filed a notice of appeal, and the appeal is pending.
