In December 2014, Phoenix LightSF Limited and certain related entities and the National Credit UnionAdministration (NCUA) filed complaints in the United States District Court forthe Southern District of New York against Wells Fargo Bank, alleging claimsagainst Wells Fargo Bank in its capacity as trustee for a number of residentialmortgage-backed securities trusts. Complaints raising similar allegations havebeen filed by Commerzbank AG in the Southern District of New York and by IKBInternational and IKB Deutsche Industriebank in New York state court. In eachcase, the plaintiffs allege that Wells Fargo Bank, as trustee, caused losses toinvestors, and plaintiffs assert causes of action based upon, among otherthings, the trustee’s alleged failure to notify and enforce repurchase obligationsof mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations andwarranties, notify investors of alleged events of default, and abide byappropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Wells FargoBank previously settled two class action lawsuits with similar allegations thatwere filed in November 2014 and December 2016 by institutional investors in theSouthern District of New York and New York state court, respectively. Inaddition, Park Royal I LLC and Park Royal II LLC have filed complaints in NewYork state court alleging Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee, failed to takeappropriate actions upon learning of defective mortgage loan documentation. InMarch 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to resolve the case filed bythe 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, Nomuraand Natixis allege that Wells Fargo Bank, as master servicer, primary serviceror securities administrator, failed to notify Nomura and Natixis of their ownbreaches, failed to properly oversee the primary servicers, and failed toadhere to accepted servicing practices. Natixis additionally alleges that WellsFargo Bank failed to perform default oversight duties. Wells Fargo Bank hasasserted counterclaims alleging that Nomura and Natixis failed to provide WellsFargo Bank notice of their representation and warranty breaches.

 

With respect to each of the foregoing litigations, WellsFargo Bank believes plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intends to contestthe claims vigorously, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome of thelitigations or the possible impact of the litigations on Wells Fargo Bank orthe related RMBS trusts.

From time to time, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, a Delawarelimited liability company (“CWCAM”), is a party to lawsuits and otherlegal proceedings as part of its duties as a special servicer (e.g.,enforcement of loan obligations) and/or arising in the ordinary course ofbusiness.  Other than as set forth in the following paragraphs, there arecurrently no legal proceedings pending, and no legal proceedings known to be contemplatedby governmental authorities, against CWCAM or of which any of its property isthe 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 theproper allocation of certain proceeds (“Disputed Proceeds”) received byCWCAM in connection with the sale of the Peter Cooper Village and StuyvesantTown property in New York, New York securing loans held by those trusts. CWCAM was the special servicer of such property.  The petition requeststhe State 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”).  OnOctober 21, 2016, the Federal Court held a hearing on the motion to transferthe action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of NewYork (“SDNY Court”), a motion to remand to state court and a motion tohear CWCAM’s request for reconsideration of the motion to dismiss.  OnMarch 14, 2017, the Federal Court reserved the determination on the motion tohear CWCAM’s request for reconsideration of the motion to dismiss, denied themotion to remand the matter to state court and granted the motion to transferthe proceeding to the SDNY Court.  Cross motions for judgment on thepleadings were filed but the SDNY Court was unable to decide the case based onthe pleadings and the SDNY Court ordered discovery.  All fact discoverywas completed in December, 2018 and expert discovery was completed on March 15,2019.  The parties submitted cross motions for summary judgment, and onMarch 19, 2020, theSDNY Court entered an opinion andorder in which it granted summary judgment in CWCAM’s favor and held that CWCAMwas entitled to the entire amount of penalty interest and that CWCAM’sdetermination of Yield Maintenance was correct.  In the 127-page opinion,the SDNY Court found for CWCAM on every issue presented by the trustee’spetition, namely, that the funds in dispute constitute penalty interest andyield maintenance, not gain-on-sale proceeds, and that the amount of penaltyinterest and yield maintenance was correctly calculated. An appeal of the SDNYCourt’s decision was taken on April 29, 2020.  Oral argument on the appealoccurred on June 21, 2021. The parties await the decision of the appealscourt.  

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 theOriginal  Complaint alleged breaches of a contract and fiduciary duties byCWCAM’s affiliate, CWCapital Investments LLC in its capacity as collateralmanager for the collateralized debt obligation transaction involving CWCapitalCobalt 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 abettingbreach of fiduciary duty, conversion and unjust enrichment. On May 23, 2018,the Original Complaint was dismissed for lack of subject matterjurisdiction.   On June 28, 2018, CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd. filed asubstantially similar complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,County of New York styled as CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd. v. CWCapital InvestmentsLLC, et al., Index No. 653277/2018 (the “New Complaint”).  Thegravamen of the New Complaint is the same as the previous complaint filed inthe United State District Court for the Southern District of New York.  Intotal there are 16 counts pled in the New Complaint. Of those 16 counts, 5claims were asserted against CWCAM for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciaryduty, conversion and unjust enrichment, 1 count seeks a declaratory judgementthat the plaintiff has the right to enforce the contracts in question and 1count seeks an injunction requiring the defendants to recognize the plaintiffas the directing holder for the trusts in question. On January 11, 2019, theplaintiff dismissed with prejudice the declaratory judgment and injunctioncounts.  The New Complaint and related summons was not served on thedefendants until July 13, 2018 and July 16, 2018.  The plaintiff’s motionfor a preliminary injunction was denied by the court on July 31, 2018.  OnAugust 3, 2018, the defendants, including CWCAM, filed a motion to dismiss theNew Complaint in its entirety. On August 20, 2019, the court entered an ordergranting defendants’ motion almost in its entirety, dismissing 11 of the 16counts and partially dismissing 2 additional counts.
