U.S. Bank National Association

 

We have examined management’s assertion,included in the accompanying Report on Assessment of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria, that U.S. Bank National Association(the “Company”) complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122 (d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’sRegulation AB for the U.S. Bank Corporate Trust Asset-Backed Securities Platform (the “Platform”), for which the Companyprovides trustee, securities administration, registrar and paying agent services, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017,except for servicing criteria Items 1122 (d)(1)(iii), 1122 (d)(4)(i)-(ii) and 1122 (d)(4)(iv)-(xiv), which the Company has determinedare not applicable to the activities performed by them with respect to the servicing platform covered by this report. Managementis responsible for the Company’s compliance with those servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion onmanagement’s assertion about the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria based on our examination.

 

Our examination was conducted in accordancewith attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, as adopted by the Public CompanyAccounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company’scompliance with the applicable servicing criteria and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.Our examination included testing of less than all of the individual asset-backed transactions and securities that comprise thePlatform, testing of less than all of the servicing activities related to the Platform, and determining whether the Company processedthose selected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance with the servicing criteria. Furthermore, ourprocedures were limited to the selected transactions and servicing activities performed by the Company during the period coveredby this report. Our procedures were not designed to determine whether errors may have occurred either prior to or subsequent toour tests that may have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company during the period covered by thisreport for the selected transactions or any other transactions. Although the Company is responsible for assessing compliance withItems 1122(d)(1)(ii), 1122(d)(1)(v) and 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, there were no servicing activities performed by the Companyduring the year ended December 31, 2017 that required these servicing criteria to be complied with. We believe that the evidencewe obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Our examination does not provide a legaldetermination on the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria.

 

Inour opinion, management’s assertion that the Company complied with the aforementioned servicing criteria as of and for theyear ended December 31, 2017, for the U.S. BankCorporate Trust Asset-Backed Securities Platform is fairly stated, in all material respects.
