**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 KeyBank National Association, as master servicer,and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, certificateadministrator and custodian:

On February 23, 2016, a certificateholder of the J.P. MorganChase Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Series 2007-CIBC18 (the “Trust”)filed suit in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York, againstKeyBank National Association and Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC(collectively, the “Servicers”).  The suit was filed derivatively onbehalf of the Trust.  The action was brought in connection with theServicers’ determination of the fair value of a loan, secured by the BryantPark Hotel in New York City, held by the Trust and sold to an assignee of theTrust’s directing certificateholder, pursuant to an exercise of the fair valueoption set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement governing theTrust.  There can be no assurances as to the outcome of the action or thepossible impact of the litigation on the Servicers.  Both Servicers denyliability, believe that they performed their obligations in accordance with theterms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and have contested the claimsasserted against them, filing a motion to dismiss the case.  On November28, 2016, the Servicers’ motion to dismiss was granted.  The plaintiffcertificateholder has filed a notice of appeal, and the appeal is pending.

On June 18, 2014, a groupof institutional investors filed a civil complaint in the Supreme Court of theState of New York, New York County, against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“WellsFargo Bank”) in its capacity as trustee under 276 residential mortgage backedsecurities (“RMBS”) trusts, which was later amended on July 18, 2014, toincrease the number of trusts to 284 RMBS trusts. On November 24, 2014, theplaintiffs filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss the state court action withoutprejudice. That same day, a group of institutional investors filed a putativeclass action complaint in the United States District Court for the SouthernDistrict of New York (the “District Court”) against Wells Fargo Bank, allegingclaims against the bank in its capacity as trustee for 274 RMBS trusts (the“Federal Court 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 care followingalleged 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 allowed plaintiffsto file amended complaints as to the remaining, non-dismissed trusts, if theyso chose, and three amended complaints have been filed. On December 17, 2016,the investor plaintiffs in the 261 trusts dismissed from the Federal CourtComplaint filed a new complaint in New York state court (the “State CourtComplaint”). In September 2017, Royal Park Investments SA/NV (“Royal Park”),one of the plaintiffs in the District Court cases against Wells Fargo Bank,filed a putative class action complaint relating to two trusts seekingdeclaratory and injunctive relief and money damages based on Wells Fargo Bank’sindemnification from trust funds for legal fees and expenses Wells Fargo Bankincurs or has incurred in defending the District Court case filed by RoyalPark. With respect to 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 RMBStrusts.
