**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, as Trustee,Certificate Administrator and Custodian.

In December 2014, Phoenix LightSF Limited and certain related entities and the National Credit UnionAdministration (“NCUA”) filed complaints in the United States DistrictCourt for the Southern District of New York against Wells Fargo Bank, allegingclaims against Wells Fargo Bank in its capacity as trustee for a number ofresidential mortgage-backed securities trusts. Complaints raising similarallegations have been filed by Commerzbank AG in the Southern District of NewYork and by IKB International and IKB Deutsche Industriebank in New York statecourt. In each case, the plaintiffs allege that Wells Fargo Bank, as trustee,caused losses to investors, and plaintiffs assert causes of action based upon,among other things, the trustee’s alleged failure to notify and enforcerepurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches ofrepresentations and warranties, notify investors of alleged events of default,and abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events of default.Wells Fargo Bank previously settled two class action lawsuits with similarallegations that were filed in November 2014 and December 2016 by institutionalinvestors in the Southern District of New York and New York state court,respectively. In addition, Park Royal I LLC and Park Royal II LLC have filedcomplaints in New York state court alleging Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee,failed to take appropriate actions upon learning of defective mortgage loandocumentation. In March 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to resolvethe case filed by the NCUA.

 

In addition to the foregoingcases, in August 2014 and August 2015 Nomura Credit & Capital Inc. (“Nomura”)and Natixis Real Estate Holdings, LLC (“Natixis”) filed a total of seventhird-party complaints against Wells Fargo Bank in New York state court. In theunderlying first-party actions, Nomura and Natixis have been sued for allegedbreaches of representations and warranties made in connection with residentialmortgage-backed securities sponsored by them. In the third-party actions,Nomura and Natixis allege that Wells Fargo Bank, as master servicer, primaryservicer or securities administrator, failed to notify Nomura and Natixis oftheir own breaches, failed to properly oversee the primary servicers, and failedto adhere to accepted servicing practices. Natixis additionally alleges thatWells Fargo Bank failed to perform default oversight duties. Wells Fargo Bankhas asserted counterclaims alleging that Nomura and Natixis failed to provideWells Fargo Bank notice of their representation and warranty breaches.

 

With respect to each of theforegoing 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 related RMBS trusts.
