**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,U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, Certificate Administrator andCustodian, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as CertificateAdministrator and Custodian.

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“DBTCA”) andDeutsche Bank National Trust Company (“DBNTC”) have been sued by investorsin civil litigation concerning their roles as trustees of certain residentialmortgage-backed securities (“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 amongthe parties, the BlackRock SDNY Case was dismissed on December 6, 2018, and theBlackRock California 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 forty-three of the trusts at issue.  On September 27,2017, plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint that names DBTCA as adefendant in addition to DBNTC.  DBTCA serves as trustee for one of theforty-three trusts at issue.  DBNTC serves as trustee for the otherforty-two trusts at issue.  Plaintiffs’ third amended complaint brings claimsfor violation of the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“TIA”); breach ofcontract; breach of fiduciary duty; negligence and gross negligence; violationof New York’s Streit Act; and breach of the covenant of good faith. However, in the third amended complaint, plaintiffs acknowledge that, beforeDBTCA was added to the case, the court dismissed plaintiffs’ TIA Act claims,negligence and gross negligence claims, Streit Act claims, claims for breach ofthe covenant of good faith, and certain theories of plaintiffs’ breach ofcontract claims, and plaintiffs only include these claims to preserve anyrights on appeal.  Plaintiffs allege damages of “hundreds of millions ofdollars.”  On November 13, 2017, DBNTC and DBTCA filed an answer to thethird amended complaint.  On December 7, 2018, DBNTC and DBTCA filed amotion for summary judgment.  Also on December 7, 2018, plaintiffs,jointly with Commerzbank AG (see description of Commerzbank case below), fileda motion for partial summary judgment.  On October 27, 2021, DBNTC andDBTCA filed a supplemental motion for summary judgment relating to plaintiffs’standing.  On February 8, 2022, the court issued an order in which itgranted DBNTC and DBTCA’s supplemental motion for summary judgment, granted inpart DBNTC and DBTCA’s initial motion for summary judgment, and deniedplaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment.  As a result of thatorder, all of plaintiffs’ claims were dismissed with prejudice.

On November 30, 2017, DBTCA was added as a defendant to acase brought by Commerzbank AG (“Commerzbank”) in the U.S. DistrictCourt for the Southern District of New York, in which Commerzbank previouslyalleged incorrectly that DBNTC served as trustee for all fifty 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 one of the fifty trusts at issue.  DBNTC serves as trustee forthe other forty-nine trusts at issue.  Commerzbank’s second amended complaintbrings claims for violation of the TIA; breach of contract; breach of fiduciaryduty; negligence; violation of the Streit Act; and breach of the covenant ofgood faith.  However, in the second amended complaint, Commerzbankacknowledges that, before DBTCA was added to the case, the court dismissedCommerzbank’s TIA claims for the trusts governed by pooling and servicingagreements, as well as its Streit Act claims and claims for breach of thecovenant of good faith, and Commerzbank only includes these claims to preserveany rights on appeal.  The second amended complaint alleges that DBNTC andDBTCA caused Commerzbank to suffer “hundreds of millions of dollars in losses,”but the complaint does not include a demand for money damages in a sumcertain.  On January 29, 2018, DBNTC and DBTCA filed an answer to thesecond amended complaint.  On December 7, 2018, DBNTC and DBTCA filed amotion for summary judgment.  Also on December 7, 2018, Commerzbank,jointly with the Phoenix Light plaintiffs, filed a motion for partial summaryjudgment.  On February 8, 2022, the court issued an order in which itgranted in part DBNTC and DBTCA’s motion for summary judgment and deniedplaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment.  As a result of thatorder, many of plaintiffs’ claims and theories were dismissed withprejudice.  Discovery is ongoing.

On December 30, 2015, IKB International, S.A. in Liquidationand IKB Deutsche Industriebank A.G. (collectively, “IKB”), as aninvestor in thirty-seven RMBS trusts, filed a summons with notice in theSupreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, against DBNTC andDBTCA as trustees of the trusts.  On May 27, 2016, IKB served itscomplaint asserting claims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty,breach of duty to avoid conflicts of interest, violation of the Streit Act,violation of the TIA, violation of Regulation AB, and violation of Section 9 ofthe Uniform Commercial Code.  IKB alleges that DBNTC and DBTCA are liablefor over U.S. $268 million in damages.  On October 5, 2016, DBNTC andDBTCA, together with several other trustees defending lawsuits by IKB, filed ajoint motion to dismiss.  On January 6, 2017 and June 20, 2017, IKBvoluntarily dismissed with prejudice all claims as to seven trusts.  OnJanuary 27, 2021, the court granted in part and denied in part DBNTC andDBTCA’s motion to dismiss.  The court granted the motion to dismiss withrespect to IKB’s claims for violations of the Streit Act, Regulation AB, andSection 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as well as certain aspects of IKB’sclaims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and violation of theTIA.  The court denied the remainder of the motion to dismiss.  IKB’sremaining claims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach ofduty to avoid conflicts of interest, and violation of the TIA willproceed.  On May 10, 2021, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a notice of appeal withthe New York Supreme Court Appellate Division, First Department, regardingcertain aspects of the court’s order on the motion to dismiss.  Thatappeal has been fully briefed.  On May 20, 2021, IKB filed a notice ofcross appeal with respect to other aspects of that order.  That appeal isbeing briefed.  On June 2, 2021, IKB filed a motion for re-argument regardingcertain aspects of the court’s order on the motion to dismiss, which the courtdenied on August 3, 2021.  On May 13, 2021, DBNTC and DBTCA filed ananswer to the complaint.  On October 28, 2021, the parties filed astipulation, voluntarily dismissing with prejudice all claims as to sevenadditional trusts.  On December 29, 2021, the parties filed a stipulation,voluntarily dismissing with prejudice all claims as to one additionaltrust.  Discovery is ongoing.

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.

U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) and otherlarge financial institutions have been sued in their capacity as trustee orsuccessor trustee for certain residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”)trusts.  The complaints, primarily filed by investors or investor groupsagainst U.S. Bank and similar institutions, allege the trustees caused lossesto investors as a result of alleged failures by the sponsors, mortgage loansellers and servicers to comply with the governing agreements for these RMBStrusts.  Plaintiffs generally assert causes of action based upon thetrustees’ purported failures to enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loansellers for alleged breaches of representations and warranties, notifysecurityholders of purported events of default allegedly caused by breaches ofservicing standards by mortgage loan servicers and abide by a heightenedstandard of care following alleged events of default.  

 

U.S. Bank denies liability and believes that it hasperformed its obligations under the RMBS trusts in good faith, that its actionswere not the cause of losses to investors, that it has meritorious defenses,and it has contested and intends to continue contesting the plaintiffs’ claimsvigorously.  However, U.S. Bank cannot assure you as to the outcome of anyof the litigation, or the possible impact of these litigations on the trusteeor the RMBS trusts.  

 

On March 9, 2018, a law firm purporting to represent fifteenDelaware statutory trusts (the “DSTs”) that issued securities backed bystudent loans (the “Student Loans”) filed a lawsuit in the DelawareCourt of Chancery against U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”)in its capacities as indenture trustee and successor special servicer, andthree other institutions in their respective transaction capacities, withrespect to the DSTs and the Student Loans.  This lawsuit is captioned NationalCollegiate Student Loan Master Trust I v. U.S. Bank National Ass’n, C.A.No. 2018-0167-JRS (Del. Ch.) (the “NCMSLT Action”).  The complaint,as amended on June 15, 2018, alleged that the DSTs have been harmed as a resultof purported misconduct or omissions by the defendants concerningadministration of the trusts and special servicing of the Student Loans. Since the filing of the NCMSLT Action, certain Student Loan borrowers have madeassertions against U.S. Bank concerning special servicing that appear to bebased on certain allegations made on behalf of the DSTs in the NCMSLT Action.

 

U.S. Bank has filed a motion seeking dismissal of theoperative complaint in its entirety with prejudice pursuant to Chancery CourtRules 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) or, in the alternative, a stay of the case whileother prior filed disputes involving the DSTs and the Student Loans arelitigated.  On November 7, 2018, the Court ruled that the case should bestayed in its entirety pending resolution of the first-filed cases.  OnJanuary 21, 2020, the Court entered an order consolidating for pretrialpurposes the NCMSLT Action and three other lawsuits pending in the DelawareCourt of Chancery concerning the DSTs and the Student Loans, which remainspending.  

U.S. Bank denies liability in the NCMSLT Action and believesit has performed its obligations as indenture trustee and special servicer ingood faith and in compliance in all material respects with the terms of theagreements governing the DSTs and that it has meritorious defenses.  Ithas contested and intends to continue contesting the plaintiffs’ claimsvigorously.

In December 2014, Phoenix Light SF Limited and certainrelated entities and the National Credit Union Administration (“NCUA”)filed complaints in the United States District Court for the Southern Districtof New York against Wells Fargo Bank, alleging claims against Wells Fargo Bankin its capacity as trustee for a number of residential mortgage-backedsecurities trusts.  Complaints raising similar allegations have been filedby Commerzbank AG in the Southern District of New York and by IKB Internationaland IKB Deutsche Industriebank in New York state court.  In each case, theplaintiffs allege that Wells Fargo Bank, as trustee, caused losses toinvestors, and plaintiffs assert causes of action based upon, among otherthings, the trustee’s alleged failure to notify and enforce repurchaseobligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representationsand warranties, notify investors of alleged events of default, and abide byappropriate standards of care following alleged events of default.  WellsFargo Bank previously settled two class action lawsuits with similar allegationsthat were filed in November 2014 and December 2016 by institutional investorsin the Southern District of New York and New York state court, respectively. In addition, Park Royal I LLC and Park Royal II LLC have filed complaintsin New York state court alleging Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee, failed totake appropriate actions upon learning of defective mortgage loandocumentation.  In March 2021, the Company entered into an agreement toresolve the case filed by the NCUA.

 

In addition to the foregoingcases, in August 2014 and August 2015 Nomura Credit & Capital Inc. (“Nomura”)and Natixis Real Estate Holdings, LLC (“Natixis”) filed a total of seventhird-party complaints against Wells Fargo Bank in New York state court. In the underlying first-party actions, Nomura and Natixis have been suedfor alleged breaches of representations and warranties made in connection withresidential mortgage-backed securities sponsored by them.  In thethird-party actions, Nomura and Natixis allege that Wells Fargo Bank, as masterservicer, primary servicer or securities administrator, failed to notify Nomuraand Natixis of their own breaches, failed to properly oversee the primaryservicers, and failed to adhere to accepted servicing practices.  Natixisadditionally alleges that Wells Fargo Bank failed to perform default oversightduties.  Wells Fargo Bank has asserted counterclaims alleging that Nomuraand Natixis failed to provide Wells Fargo Bank notice of their representationand warranty breaches.

With respect to each of the foregoing litigations, WellsFargo Bank believes plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and intends to contestthe claims 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 related RMBS trusts.
