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 CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer,and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator, astrustee and as custodian.

From time to time, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, a Delawarelimited liability company (“CWCAM”), is a party to lawsuits and other legalproceedings as part of its duties as a special servicer (e.g., enforcement ofloan obligations) and/or arising in the ordinary course of business. Other thanas set forth in the following paragraphs, there are currently no legal proceedingspending, and no legal proceedings known to be contemplated by governmentalauthorities, against CWCAM or of which any of its property is the subject, thatare 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 the StateCourt 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 but theSDNY Court was unable to decide the case based on the pleadings and the SDNYCourt ordered discovery.  All fact discovery was completed in December,2018 and expert discovery was completed on March 15, 2019.  The partiessubmitted cross motions for summary judgment, and on March 19, 2020, the SDNYCourt entered an opinion and order in which it granted summary judgment inCWCAM’s favor and held that CWCAM was entitled to the entire amount of penaltyinterest and that CWCAM’s determination of Yield Maintenance was correct. In the 127-page opinion, the SDNY Court found for CWCAM on every issuepresented 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.  OnJuly 14, 2022, the Second Circuit entered a decision affirming in part andreversing in part the SDNY Court’s decision and remanding to the SDNY Court forfurther proceedings.  The Second Circuit affirmed the SDNY’s Court holdingthat Penalty 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”).

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 amended complaint onJanuary 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 Management Agreementagainst CWCI.  CWCI sought leave to file an appeal of the decision. Theplaintiff also sought leave to appeal the dismissal of the claims againstCWCAM.  Both requests for leave were denied by the First Department. On May 15, 2020, CWCI and CWCAM filed a motion to renew its motion to dismissas to 4 of the remaining counts (including the remaining two counts againstCWCAM for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment),based on a decision entered by Judge Failla in a trust instructionproceeding  in the US District Court for the Southern District of New Yorkawarding summary judgment in favor of CWCAM.  On September 7, 2021, thecourt denied the motion to renew.  CWCI and CWCAM filed a notice ofappeal, 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.   

In December 2014, Phoenix Light SF Limited (Phoenix Light)and certain related entities filed a complaint in the United States DistrictCourt for the Southern District of New York alleging claims against Wells FargoBank, N.A., in its capacity as trustee for a number of residentialmortgage-backed securities (RMBS) 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, N.A., astrustee, 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.

The examination performed by Ernst & Young LLP identifiedan instance of material noncompliance with the servicing criteria set forth inItem 1122(d)(4)(ix) of Regulation AB applicable to KeyBank during the yearended December 31, 2022. During compliance testing, it was discovered, that notall FlexARM loan mortgagors were offered loan rates within 45-60 days beforethe rate change date, as required per the related pool asset documents. Per therelated note, if the holder fails to offer a loan rate within 45-60 days of anychange date a margin of 2.25% is to be used. Given the notification was notmade to the borrowers, a 3% margin was incorrectly applied. The noncompliancein Item 1122 (d)(4)(ix) is related to a servicing portfolio which is whollyowned by the investor and is not held in a publicly traded security.

The following remediation procedures have been initiated byKeyBank: (i) the impacted mortgage loans are currently in the process of beingidentified, (ii) investor contact has been initiated, (iii) corrective actionsare being considered and will be tracked and monitored by senior management,(iv) procedures will be reviewed and revised, if necessary, to include newtracking and action steps to prevent this situation from recurring in thefuture, and (v) training will be provided to the relevant staff members toprevent a recurrence.
