**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 Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as trustee andWells Fargo Bank, National Association as certificate administrator and ascustodian.

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“DBTCA”) and DeutscheBank National Trust Company (“DBNTC”) have been sued by investors in civillitigation concerning their role as trustees of certain RMBS trusts. 

On June 18, 2014, a group of investors, including fundsmanaged by Blackrock Advisors, LLC, PIMCO-Advisors, L.P., and others, filed anaction against DBNTC and DBTCA in New York State Supreme Court alleging thatDBNTC and DBTCA failed to perform purported duties, as trustees for 544private-label RMBS trusts, to enforce breaches of representations andwarranties as to mortgage loans held by the trusts and to enforce breaches byservicers of their mortgage loan servicing obligations for the trusts. During the course of the litigation, plaintiffs dismissed the case from NewYork State Supreme Court and refiled two separate cases, one in the U.S.District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “BlackRock SDNYCase”) and the other in the Superior Court of California, Orange County (the“BlackRock California Case”).  Pursuant to a settlement among the parties,the BlackRock SDNY Case was dismissed on December 6, 2018 and the BlackRockCalifornia Case was dismissed on January 11, 2019.

On September 27, 2017, DBTCA was added as a defendant to acase brought by certain special purpose entities including Phoenix Light SFLimited in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, inwhich the plaintiffs previously alleged incorrectly that DBNTC served astrustee for all 43 of the trusts at issue.  On September 27, 2017, plaintiffsfiled a third amended complaint that names DBTCA as a defendant in addition toDBNTC.  DBTCA serves as trustee for one of the 43 trusts at issue. DBNTC serves as trustee for the other 42 trusts at issue.  Plaintiffs’third amended complaint brings claims for violation of the U.S. Trust IndentureAct of 1939 (“TIA”); breach of contract; breach of fiduciary duty; negligenceand gross negligence; violation of New York’s Streit Act; and breach of thecovenant of good faith.  However, in the third amended complaint,plaintiffs acknowledge that, before DBTCA was added to the case, the courtdismissed plaintiffs’ TIA Act claims, negligence and gross negligence claims,Streit Act claims, claims for breach of the covenant of good faith, and certaintheories of plaintiffs’ breach of contract claims, and plaintiffs only includethese claims to preserve any rights on appeal.  Plaintiffs allege damagesof “hundreds of millions of dollars.”  On November 13, 2017, DBNTC andDBTCA filed an answer to the third amended complaint.  On December 7,2018, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a motion for summary judgment.  Also onDecember 7, 2018, plaintiffs, jointly with Commerzbank AG (see description ofCommerzbank case below), filed a motion for partial summary judgment.

On November 30, 2017, DBTCA was added as a defendant to acase brought by Commerzbank AG (“Commerzbank”) in the U.S. District Court forthe Southern District of New York, in which Commerzbank previously allegedincorrectly that DBNTC served as trustee for all 50 of the trusts atissue.  On November 30, 2017, Commerzbank filed a second amended complaintthat names DBTCA as a defendant in addition to DBNTC.  DBTCA serves astrustee for 1 of the 50 trusts at issue.  DBNTC serves as trustee for theother 49 trusts at issue.  Commerzbank’s second amended complaint bringsclaims for violation of the TIA; breach of contract; breach of fiduciary duty;negligence; violation of the Streit Act; and breach of the covenant of goodfaith.  However, in the second amended complaint, Commerzbank acknowledgesthat, before DBTCA was added to the case, the court dismissed Commerzbank’s TIAclaims for the trusts governed by pooling and servicing agreements, as well asits Streit Act claims and claims for breach of the covenant of good faith, andCommerzbank only includes these claims to preserve any rights on appeal. The second amended complaint alleges that DBNTC and DBTCA caused Commerzbank tosuffer “hundreds of millions of dollars in losses,” but the complaint does notinclude a demand for money damages in a sum certain.  On January 29, 2018,DBNTC and DBTCA filed an answer to the second amended complaint.  OnDecember 7, 2018, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a motion for summary judgment. Also on December 7, 2018, Commerzbank, jointly with the Phoenix Lightplaintiffs, filed a motion for partial summary judgment.

On December 30, 2015, IKB International, S.A. in Liquidationand IKB Deutsche Industriebank A.G. (collectively, “IKB”), as an investor in 37RMBS trusts, filed a summons with notice in the Supreme Court of the State ofNew York, New York County, against DBNTC and DBTCA as trustees of thetrusts.  On May 27, 2016, IKB served its complaint asserting claims forbreach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty to avoid conflictsof interest, violation of the Streit Act, violation of the TIA, violation ofRegulation AB, and violation of Section 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. IKB alleges that DBNTC and DBTCA are liable for over U.S. $268 million indamages.  On October 5, 2016, DBNTC and DBTCA, together with several othertrustees defending lawsuits by IKB, filed a joint motion to dismiss.  OnJanuary 6, 2017 and June 20, 2017, IKB voluntarily dismissed with prejudice allclaims as to seven trusts.  As of March 1, 2019, DBNTC and DBTCA’s motionto dismiss has been briefed and is awaiting decision by the court.

It is DBTCA’s belief that it has no pending legal proceedings(including, based on DBTCA’s present evaluation, the litigation disclosed inthe foregoing paragraphs) that would materially affect its ability to performits duties under the related servicing agreement for this transaction.

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.  Thecomplaints against Wells Fargo Bank alleged that the trustee caused losses toinvestors and asserted causes of action based upon, among other things, thetrustee's alleged failure to: (i) notify and enforce repurchase obligations ofmortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties,(ii) notify investors of alleged events of default, and (iii) abide byappropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Reliefsought included money damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement ofexpenses, and equitable relief. Wells Fargo Bank has reached an agreement, inwhich it denies any wrongdoing, to resolve these claims on a classwide basisfor the 271 RMBS trusts currently at issue.  The settlement agreement issubject to court approval.  Separate lawsuits against Wells Fargo Bankmaking similar allegations filed by certain other institutional investorsconcerning 57 RMBS trusts in New York federal and state court are not coveredby the agreement.  With respect to the foregoing litigations, Wells FargoBank believes plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intends to contest theclaims 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 RMBS trusts.

**Item 1119 of Regulation AB, Affiliations and CertainRelationships and Related Transactions.**

The information regarding this Item has been previouslyprovided in a prospectus supplement of the Registrant relating to the issuingentity filed on November 16, 2011 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5).

**Item 1122 of Regulation AB, Compliance with ApplicableServicing Criteria.**

The reports on assessments of compliance with the servicingcriteria for asset-backed securities and related attestation reports on suchassessments of compliance with respect to the mortgage loans are attachedhereto under Item 15 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Attached as ScheduleIII to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement incorporated by reference as Exhibit4 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K is a chart identifying the entitiesparticipating in a servicing function for the transaction responsible for eachapplicable servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d).

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 byMidland, including the use of various data computation formulas, qualitycontrol checks and 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.
