**Item 1117 of Regulation AB, Legal Proceedings.**

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, as trustee, and as custodian. 

Beginning on June 18, 2014, a group of institutionalinvestors filed civil complaints in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,New York County, and later the U.S. District Court for the Southern District ofNew York, against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., (“Wells Fargo Bank”) in itscapacity as trustee for certain residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”)trusts.  The complaints against Wells Fargo Bank alleged that the trusteecaused losses to investors and asserted causes of action based upon, among otherthings, the trustee's alleged failure to: (i) notify and enforce repurchaseobligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representationsand warranties, (ii) notify investors of alleged events of default, and (iii)abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events of default.Relief sought included money damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement ofexpenses, and equitable relief. In November 2018, Wells Fargo Bank reached anagreement, in which it denied any wrongdoing, to resolve such claims on aclasswide basis for the 271 RMBS trusts at issue.  On May 6, 2019, thecourt entered an order approving the settlement agreement.  Separatelawsuits against Wells Fargo Bank making similar allegations filed by certainother institutional investors concerning several RMBS trusts in New Yorkfederal and state court are not covered by the agreement.  With respect tosuch litigations, Wells Fargo Bank believes plaintiffs' claims are withoutmerit and intends to contest the claims vigorously, but there can be noassurances as to the outcome of the litigations or the possible impact of thelitigations on Wells Fargo Bank or the RMBS trusts.

The information regarding this Item has been previouslyprovided in a prospectus supplement of the Registrant relating to the issuingentity filed on October 12, 2012 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5).

**Item 1122 of Regulation AB, Compliance with Applicable ServicingCriteria.**

The reports on assessments of compliance with the servicingcriteria for asset-backed securities and related attestation reports on suchassessments of compliance with respect to the mortgage loans are attachedhereto under Item 15 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Attached as Exhibit AAto the Pooling and Servicing Agreement incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4to this Annual Report on Form 10-K is a chart identifying the entitiesparticipating in a servicing function for the transaction responsible for eachapplicable servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d).

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 ScheduleAL Files (Item 1125 of Regulation AB) were not reported in accordance with theterms specified in the transaction agreements, in conflict with Item1122(d)(3)(i): “Reports to investors, including those to be filed with theCommission, are maintained in accordance with the transac

tion agreements and applicableCommission requirements. Specifically, such reports: (A) Are prepared inaccordance with timeframes and other terms set forth in the transactionagreements”.  The noncompliance consisted of omitted or inaccuratelyreported fields as described in (1) and (2) below.  (1) In connection withother enhancements Midland made to its manual Schedule AL process, starting inApril 2019, Midland developed and implemented new Schedule AL reportingtemplates for each applicable CMBS transaction that closed prior to April 2019and for each applicable CMBS transaction going forward.  Related to this,Midland made certain template setup errors, along with related and other manualinputting of information errors, and the errors were not identified prior tosubmission of the applicable Schedule AL Files in certain cases due tobreakdowns in quality control.  (2) In one applicable transaction, therelated Schedule AL File for a given month was not saved properly resulting inthe prior month's Schedule AL File being submitted for the given month insteadof the correct Schedule AL File. 

The identified instances did notinvolve the servicing of assets included in this securitization.

Steps Taken to Remedy the Material Instance of Noncompliance

Midland’s Schedule AL reportingprocess was enhanced in April of 2019, however, the process remained manualthroughout the 2019 calendar year.  Errors relating to certain Schedule ALFiles during 2019 were identified during the related audit.  Followingidentification, Midland made staffing changes and additional enhancements andimprovements to its processes and procedures to support its Schedule ALreporting obligations and expects to move to an automated solution for thisprocess.  

Midland is currently remediating theSchedule AL reporting for certain of the CMBS transactions found to beincorrect.
