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, and Citibank, N.A., as certificateadministrator and custodian: 

Since June 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors havefiled civil complaints in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New YorkCounty, and later the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New Yorkagainst Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., (“Wells Fargo Bank”) in its capacity as trusteefor certain residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts.  The complaintsagainst Wells Fargo Bank alleged that the trustee caused losses to investorsand asserted causes of action based upon, among other things, the trustee'salleged failure to: (i) notify and enforce repurchase obligations of mortgageloan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties, (ii)notify investors of alleged events of default, and (iii) abide by appropriatestandards of care following alleged events of default. Relief sought includedmoney damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement of expenses, andequitable relief. Wells Fargo Bank has reached an agreement, in which it deniesany wrongdoing, to resolve these claims on a classwide basis for the 271 RMBStrusts currently at issue.  The settlement agreement is subject to courtapproval.  Separate lawsuits against Wells Fargo Bank making similarallegations filed by certain other institutional investors concerning 57 RMBStrusts in New York federal and state court are not covered by theagreement.  With respect to the foregoing litigations, Wells Fargo Bankbelieves plaintiffs' 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.

In the ordinary course of business, Citibank, N.A.(“Citibank”) is involved in a number of legal proceedings, including inconnection with its role as trustee of certain RMBS transactions.  Certainof these Citibank as trustee-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 of fiduciaryduty and negligence based on Citibank’s alleged failure to perform its dutiesas trustee for the 48 RMBS trusts.  On November 24, 2014, plaintiffssought leave to withdraw this action.  On the same day, a smaller subsetof similar plaintiff investors in 27 private-label RMBS trusts for whichCitibank allegedly serves or did serve as trustee, filed a new civil actionagainst Citibank in the United States District Court for the Southern Districtof New York asserting similar claims as the prior action filed in statecourt.  In January 2015, the court closed plaintiffs’ original state courtaction.  On September 8, 2015, the federal court dismissed all claims asto 24 of the 27 trusts and allowed certain of the claims to proceed as to theother three trusts. Subsequently, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed all claimswith respect to two of the three trusts. On April 7, 2017, Citibank filed amotion for summary judgment. Plaintiffs filed its consolidated opposition briefand cross motion for partial summary judgment on May 22, 2017.  Briefingon those motions was completed on August 4, 2017. On March 22, 2018, the courtgranted Citibank’s motion for summary judgment in its entirety, deniedPlaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment and ordered the clerk to close thecase. On April 20, 2018, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal. Plaintiffs’opening brief was filed on August 3, 2018. Citibank filed its opposition onNovember 2, 2018.  Plaintiffs’ filed their reply on November 16, 2018.

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 on Citibank’smotion to dismiss, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on August 5, 2016. On June 27, 2017, the state court issued a decision, dismissing the Event ofDefault claims, mortgage-file-related claims, the fiduciary duty claims, andthe conflict of interest claims.  The decision sustained certain breach ofcontract claims including the claim alleging discovery of breaches ofrepresentations and warranties, a claim related to robo-signing, and theimplied covenant of good faith claim.  Citibank appealed the lower court’sdecision, and on January 16, 2018, the Appellate Division, First Department,dismissed the claims related to robo-signing and the implied covenant of goodfaith, but allowed plaintiffs’ claim alleging discovery of breaches ofrepresentations and warranties to proceed.  

On August 19, 2015, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation(“FDIC”) as Receiver for a failed financial institution filed a civil actionagainst 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 on March 13, 2018.  On April 18,2018, plaintiff filed its opposition. Defendants filed their joint reply on May3, 2018.

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 discloses that amaterial instance of noncompliance occurred, as described below:

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 numbers due to the following: (1) the initial setup filescontained information at the asset level, and Midland was required to manuallycompile the information to present it at the loan level as required by ScheduleAL; and (2) certain reporting requirements required manual processing by Midland,including the use of various data computation formulas, quality control checksand analysis.

The identified instances did notinvolve the servicing of assets included in this securitization.

Steps Taken to Remedy the Material Instance of Noncompliance

Midland is currently remediating theSchedule AL reporting for the CMBS transactions found to be incorrect, and willbe making improvements to its systems, processes and procedures to support itsSchedule AL reporting obligations.

The report on assessment of compliance with applicableservicing criteria furnished pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB byCWCapital Asset Management LLC (“CWCAM”) discloses that a materialinstance of noncompliance occurred, as described below:
