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 certificate administrator of the mortgage loans servicedunder the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the primary servicer of the LaGran Plaza Mortgage Loan and the Walgreens Portfolio Mortgage Loan. As aresult, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is a “servicer” as defined inItem 1108(a)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, in the capacities described above,because it is servicing mortgage loans that constituted 10% or more of theassets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments ofcompliance with applicable servicing criteria, accountants’ attestation reportsand servicer compliance statements delivered by Wells Fargo Bank, NationalAssociation in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

Therefore, the Depositor included in this Annual Report onForm 10-K a servicer compliance statement for Berkeley Point Capital LLC d/b/aNewmark pursuant to Item 1123.  Because Berkeley Point Capital LLC d/b/aNewmark is servicing less than 5% of the pool assets, an assessment of compliancewith applicable servicing criteria and an accountants’ attestation reportpursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB are not required by Regulation AB. As the attestation made in the servicer compliance statement required by Item1123 relates to a review of the servicing activities of Berkeley Point CapitalLLC d/b/a Newmark under the applicable servicing agreement, and that review wasconducted in conjunction with the servicer’s preparation of its assessment ofcompliance with applicable servicing criteria, that assessment of compliancewith applicable servicing criteria and the accompanying accountants’attestation report are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the sakeof completeness.

In December 2014, Phoenix Light SFLimited (Phoenix Light) and certain related entities filed a complaint in theUnited States District Court for the Southern District of New York allegingclaims against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in its capacity as trustee for a numberof residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) trusts. Complaints raisingsimilar allegations have been filed by Commerzbank AG in the Southern Districtof New York and by IKB International and IKB Deutsche Industriebank in New Yorkstate court. In each case, the plaintiffs allege that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,as trustee, caused losses to investors, and plaintiffs assert causes of actionbased upon, among other things, the trustee’s alleged failure to notify andenforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breachesof representations and warranties, notify investors of alleged events ofdefault, and abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events ofdefault. In July 2022, the district court dismissed Phoenix Light’s claims andcertain of the claims asserted by Commerzbank AG, and subsequently enteredjudgment in each case in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. In August 2022,Phoenix Light and Commerzbank AG appealed the district court’s decision to theUnited States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The Company previouslysettled two class actions filed by institutional investors and an action filedby the National Credit Union Administration with similar allegations. Inaddition, Park Royal I LLC and Park Royal II LLC have filed substantiallysimilar lawsuits in New York state court alleging Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., astrustee, failed to take appropriate actions upon learning of defective mortgageloan documentation.

From time to time, CWCapital AssetManagement LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CWCAM”), is a party tolawsuits and other legal proceedings as part of its duties as a specialservicer (e.g., enforcement of loan obligations) and/or arising in the ordinarycourse of business. Other than as set forth in the following paragraphs, thereare currently no legal proceedings pending, and no legal proceedings known tobe contemplated by governmental authorities, against CWCAM or of which any of itsproperty is the subject, that are material to the certificateholders. 

On December 17, 2015, U.S. Bank National Association, thetrustee under five pooling and servicing agreements for (i) Wachovia BankCommercial Mortgage Trust 2007-C30, (ii) COBALT CMBS Commercial Trust 2007-C2,(iii) Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-C31, (iv) ML-CFC CommercialMortgage Trust 2007-5 and (v) ML-CFC Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-6 commenceda proceeding with the Second Judicial District Court of Ramsey County,Minnesota (the “State Court”) for a declaratory judgment as to the properallocation of certain proceeds (“Disputed Proceeds”) received by CWCAM inconnection with the sale of the Peter Cooper Village and Stuyvesant Townproperty in New York, New York securing loans held by those trusts.  CWCAMwas the special servicer of such property.  The petition requests theState Court to instruct the trustee, the trust beneficiaries, and any otherinterested parties as to the amount of the Disputed Proceeds, if any, thatconstitute penalty interest and/or the amount of the Disputed Proceeds, if any,that constitute gain-on-sale proceeds, with respect to each trust.  OnFebruary 24, 2016, CWCAM made a limited appearance with the State Court to filea motion to dismiss this proceeding based on lack of jurisdiction, mootness,standing and forum non conveniens.  On July 19, 2016, the State Courtdenied CWCAM’s motion to dismiss.  On July 22, 2016, the action wasremoved to federal court in Minnesota (“Federal Court”).  On October 21,2016, the Federal Court held a hearing on the motion to transfer the action tothe United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNYCourt”), a motion to remand to state court and a motion to hear CWCAM’s requestfor reconsideration of the motion to dismiss.  On March 14, 2017, theFederal Court reserved the determination on the motion to hear CWCAM’s requestfor reconsideration of the motion to dismiss, denied the motion to remand thematter to state court and granted the motion to transfer the proceeding to theSDNY Court.  Cross motions for judgment on the pleadings were filed butthe SDNY Court was unable to decide the case based on the pleadings and theSDNY Court ordered discovery.  All fact discovery was completed inDecember, 2018 and expert discovery was completed on March 15, 2019.  Theparties submitted cross motions for summary judgment, and on March 19, 2020,the SDNY Court entered an opinion and order in which it granted summaryjudgment in CWCAM’s favor and held that CWCAM was entitled to the entire amountof penalty interest and that CWCAM’s determination of Yield Maintenance wascorrect.  In the 127-page opinion, the SDNY Court found for CWCAM on everyissue presented by the trustee’s petition, namely, that the funds in disputeconstitute penalty interest and yield maintenance, not gain-on-sale proceeds,and that the amount of penalty interest and yield maintenance was correctlycalculated. An appeal of the SDNY Court’s decision was taken on April 29, 2020. Oral argument on the appeal occurred on June 21, 2021.  On July 14, 2022,the Second Circuit entered a decision affirming in part and reversing in partthe SDNY Court’s decision and remanding to the SDNY Court for furtherproceedings.  The Second Circuit affirmed the SDNY’s Court holding thatPenalty Interest and Yield Maintenance are paid before Gain-On-SaleProceeds.  The Second Circuit reversed and remanded for furtherproceedings that portion of the SDNY Court’s decision related to approximately$67.2 million in interest on advances.   On January 13, 2023, theparties entered into a settlement agreement, in which (among other things) theyagreed to stipulate that the amount of interest on advances that accrued on orbefore June 3, 2014 is $27.5 million, and that CWCAM would pay that amount intoescrow for distribution to certificateholders upon the entry of an order by theCourt approving the settlement.  U.S. Bank National Association, asTrustee for the trusts, provided notice of the settlement to all parties ininterest via a notice program approved by the Court.  A hearing on thesettlement is scheduled for March 16, 2023.

On December 1, 2017, a complaint against CWCAM and others wasfiled in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New Yorkstyled as CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd. v. CWCapital Investments LLC, et al., No.17-cv-9463 (the “Original Complaint”). The gravamen of the Original Complaint alleged breaches of a contract and fiduciary duties by CWCAM’saffiliate, CWCapital Investments LLC in its capacity as collateral manager forthe collateralized debt obligation transaction involving CWCapital Cobalt Vr,Ltd. In total, there are 14 counts pled in the Original Complaint. Of those 14,5 claims were asserted against CWCAM for aiding and abetting breach offiduciary duty, conversion and unjust enrichment. On May 23, 2018, the OriginalComplaint was dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.   OnJune 28, 2018, CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd. filed a substantially similar complaintin the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York styled asCWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd. v. CWCapital Investments LLC, et al., Index No.653277/2018 (the “New Complaint”).  The gravamen of the New Complaint isthe same as the previous complaint filed in the United State District Court forthe Southern District of New York.  In total there are 16 counts pled inthe New Complaint. Of those 16 counts, 5 claims were asserted against CWCAM foraiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, conversion and unjust enrichment,1 count seeks a declaratory judgement that the plaintiff has the right toenforce the contracts in question and 1 count seeks an injunction requiring thedefendants to recognize the plaintiff as the directing holder for the trusts inquestion. On January 11, 2019, the plaintiff dismissed with prejudice thedeclaratory judgment and injunction counts.  The New Complaint and relatedsummons was not served on the defendants until July 13, 2018 and July 16,2018.  The plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction was denied bythe court on July 31, 2018.  On August 3, 2018, the defendants, includingCWCAM, filed a motion to dismiss the New Complaint in its entirety. On August20, 2019, the court entered an order granting defendants’ motion almost in itsentirety, dismissing 11 of the 16 counts and partially dismissing 2 additionalcounts.  Of the remaining counts, 2 are asserted against CWCAM for aidingand abetting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment.  On September19, 2019, CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd. filed a notice of appeal relating to theAugust 20, 2019 dismissal order and on September 26, 2019, filed an amendedcomplaint against CWCI and CWCAM attempting to address deficiencies relating tocertain of the claims dismissed by the August 20, 2019 order.  CWCI andCWCAM filed its Motion to Dismiss the amended complaint on October 28,2019.  The court heard argument on the Motion to Dismiss the amendedcomplaint on January 22, 2020 and on October 23, 2020, the court granted the motiondismissing the amended claims.  On November 30, 2020, CWCapital Cobalt VrLtd filed a notice of appeal relating to the October 23, 2020 dismissalorder.  On April 27, 2021, the First Department affirmed the dismissal asto claims against CWCAM that were part of the August 20, 2019 dismissal, butreversed the dismissal of two counts for breach of the Collateral ManagementAgreement against CWCI.  CWCI sought leave to file an appeal of thedecision. The plaintiff also sought leave to appeal the dismissal of the claimsagainst CWCAM.  Both requests for leave were denied by the FirstDepartment.  On May 15, 2020, CWCI and CWCAM filed a motion to renew itsmotion to dismiss as to 4 of the remaining counts (including the remaining twocounts against CWCAM for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty andunjust enrichment), based on a decision entered by Judge Failla in a trustinstruction proceeding  in the US District Court for the Southern Districtof New York awarding summary judgment in favor of CWCAM.  On September 7,2021, the court denied the motion to renew.  CWCI and CWCAM filed a noticeof appeal, which they perfected by the filing of their opening brief on July 1,2022.  On November 15, 2022, the First Department affirmed the court’sdenial of the motion to renew.  On October 1, 2021, CWCI and CWCAM movedto reargue the denial of the motion to renew (or alternatively, the motion todismiss) with respect to certain of Cobalt’s claims, including the remaining 2claims against CWCAM, based on the First Department’s April 27, 2021decision.  On March 24, 2022, the court denied the relief sought in themotion to reargue.  CWCI and CWCAM have appealed the court’s decision onthe motion to reargue and filed their opening brief on July 11, 2022.  Theappeal was dismissed as being non-appealable on August 30, 2022.  CWCAMbelieves that it has performed its obligations under the related pooling andservicing agreements in good faith and the remaining allegations in the NewComplaint are without merit.
