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,as certificate administrator and as custodian, and Citibank, N.A., ascustodian.

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.

In the ordinary course of business, Citibank is involved in anumber of legal proceedings, including in connection with its role as trusteeof certain RMBS transactions.  Certain of these Citibank astrustee-related matters are disclosed herein. 

On June 18, 2014, a civil action was filed against Citibankin the Supreme Court of the State of New York by a group of investors in 48private-label RMBS trusts for which Citibank allegedly serves or did serve astrustee, asserting claims for purported violations of the Trust Indenture Actof 1939 (the “Trust Indenture Act”), breach of contract, breach offiduciary duty and negligence based on Citibank’s alleged failure to performits duties as trustee for the 48 RMBS trusts.  On November 24, 2014,plaintiffs sought leave to withdraw this action.  On the same day, asmaller subset of similar plaintiff investors in 27 private-label RMBS trustsfor which Citibank allegedly serves or did serve as trustee, filed a new civilaction against Citibank in the United States District Court for the SouthernDistrict of New York asserting similar claims as the prior action filed instate court.  In January 2015, the court closed plaintiffs’ original statecourt action.  On September 8, 2015, the federal court dismissed allclaims as to 24 of the 27 trusts and allowed certain of the claims to proceedas to the other three trusts. Subsequently, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissedall claims with respect to two of the three trusts. On April 7, 2017, Citibankfiled a motion for summary judgment. Plaintiffs filed its consolidatedopposition brief and cross motion for partial summary judgment on May 22,2017.  Briefing on those motions was completed on August 4, 2017. On March22, 2018, the court granted Citibank’s motion for summary judgment in itsentirety, denied Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment and ordered the clerkto close the case. On April 20, 2018, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal.Plaintiffs’ opening brief was filed on August 3, 2018. Citibank filed itsopposition on November 2, 2018.  Plaintiffs’ filed their reply on November16, 2018.  On June 7, 2019, the Second Circuit dismissed plaintiffs’appeal following the parties’ filing of a stipulation withdrawing the case withprejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.

On November 24, 2015, the same investors that brought thefederal case brought a new civil action in the Supreme Court of the State ofNew York related to 25 private-label RMBS trusts for which Citibank allegedlyserves or did serve as trustee.  This case includes the 24 trustspreviously dismissed in the federal action, and one additional trust.  Theinvestors assert claims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty,breach of duty to avoid conflicts of interest, and violation of New York’sStreit Act (the “Streit Act”).  Following oral argument onCitibank’s motion to dismiss, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on August5, 2016.  On June 27, 2017, the state court issued a decision, dismissingthe Event of Default claims, mortgage-file-related claims, the fiduciary dutyclaims, and the conflict of interest claims.  The decision sustainedcertain breach of contract claims including the claim alleging discovery ofbreaches of representations and warranties, a claim related to robo-signing,and the implied covenant of good faith claim.  Citibank appealed the lowercourt’s decision, and on January 16, 2018, the Appellate Division, FirstDepartment, dismissed the claims related to robo-signing and the impliedcovenant of good faith, but allowed plaintiffs’ claim alleging discovery ofbreaches of representations and warranties to proceed.  On June 7, 2019,plaintiffs filed a motion for discontinuance of the action and dismissal ofplaintiffs’ claims with prejudice.

On August 19, 2015, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation(“FDIC”) as Receiver for a failed financial institution filed a civilaction against Citibank in the Southern District of New York.  This actionrelates to one private-label RMBS trust for which Citibank formerly served astrustee.  FDIC asserts claims for breach of contract, violation of theStreit Act, and violation of the Trust Indenture Act. Citibank jointly briefeda motion to dismiss with The Bank of New York Mellon and U.S. Bank, N.A.,entities that have also been sued by FDIC in their capacity as trustee, andthese cases have all been consolidated in front of Judge Carter.  OnSeptember 30, 2016, the Court granted the motion to dismiss without prejudicefor lack of subject matter jurisdiction.  On October 14, 2016, FDIC fileda motion for reargument or relief from judgment from the Court’s dismissalorder.  On July 11, 2017, Judge Carter ruled on the motion forreconsideration regarding his dismissal of the action.  He deniedreconsideration of his decision on standing, but granted leave to amend thecomplaint by October 9, 2017.  The FDIC subsequently requested anextension of time to file its amended complaint, which was granted. The FDICfiled its amended complaint on December 8, 2017. Defendants’ jointly filed amotion to dismiss the amended complaint and that joint motion was fully briefedas of May 3, 2018.  On March 20, 2019, the Court granted Defendants’ jointmotion to dismiss the amended complaint. The FDIC's deadline to file a noticeof appeal was April 22, 2019. The FDIC has not appealed. 

There can be no assurances as to the outcome of litigation orthe possible impact of litigation on the trustee or the RMBS trusts. However, Citibank denies liability and continues to vigorously defend againstthese litigations.  Furthermore, neither the above-disclosed litigationsnor any other pending legal proceeding involving Citibank will materiallyaffect Citibank’s ability to perform its duties under the related servicingagreement for this CMBS transaction.

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 transaction agreements andapplicable Commission requirements. Specifically, such reports: (A) Areprepared in accordance with timeframes and other terms set forth in thetransaction agreements”.  The noncompliance consisted of omitted orinaccurately reported fields as described in (1) and (2) below.  (1) Inconnection with other enhancements Midland made to its manual Schedule ALprocess, starting in April 2019, Midland developed and implemented new ScheduleAL reporting templates for each applicable CMBS transaction that closed priorto April 2019 and for each applicable CMBS transaction going forward. Related to this, Midland made certain template setup errors, along with relatedand other manual inputting of information errors, and the errors were notidentified prior to submission of the applicable Schedule AL Files in certaincases due to breakdowns in quality control.  (2) In one applicabletransaction, the related Schedule AL File for a given month was not savedproperly resulting in the prior month's Schedule AL File being submitted forthe given month instead of 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.
