Exhibit 33.1



(GRAPHIC)





ASSESSMENT
OF COMPLIANCE WITH

APPLICABLE
SERVICING CRITERIA



Management
of The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly The Bank of New York), BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware (formerly BNYM (Delaware)) and The
Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.), (collectively, the “Company”)
is responsible for assessing the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation
AB promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s management has determined that the servicing criteria
are applicable in regard to the servicing platform as of and for the period as follows:



Platform:
Publicly-issued (i.e., transaction-level reporting initially required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) asset-backed
securities issued on or after January 1, 2006 and like-kind transactions issued prior to January 1, 2006 that are subject to Regulation
AB (including transactions subject to Regulation AB by contractual obligation) for which the Company provides trustee, securities
administration, paying agent or custodial services, as defined and to the extent applicable in the transaction agreements, other
than residential mortgage-backed securities and other mortgage-related asset-backed securities (the “Platform”).



Period:
The twelve months ended December 31, 2021 (the “Period”).



Applicable
Servicing Criteria: All servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d), to the extent required by the related transaction agreements
as to any transaction, except as set forth in the column titled “Not Applicable to Platform” in Appendix 1 attached
hereto.



With
respect to servicing criterion 1122(d)(2)(vi), the Company’s management has engaged a vendor to perform the activities required
by the servicing criterion. The Company’s management has determined that this vendor is not considered a “servicer”
as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the Company’s management has elected to take responsibility for assessing
compliance with the servicing criterion applicable to this vendor as permitted by the SEC’s Compliance and Disclosure
Interpretation 200.06, Vendors Engaged by Servicers (“C&DI 200.06”). The Company’s management has policies
and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that the vendor’s activities comply in all material respects
with the servicing criterion applicable to the vendor. The Company’s management is solely responsible for determining that
it meets the SEC requirements to apply C&DI 200.06 for the vendor and related servicing criterion.













With
respect to the Platform as of and for the Period, the Company provides the following assessment of compliance in respect of the
Applicable Servicing Criteria:



1.
The Company’s management is responsible for assessing the Company’s compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria.



2.
The Company’s management has assessed compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria, including the servicing criterion
for which compliance is determined based on C&DI 200.06 as described above as of and for the Period. In making this assessment,
management used the criteria set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB.



3.
With respect to servicing criterion 1122(d)(4)(i), for certain transactions in the Platform the Trustor (as such term is defined
in the related transaction agreements) may direct the Trustee (as such term is defined in the related transaction agreements)
to file, or cause to be filed, all filings identified by the Trustor to be necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original
filings identified by the Trustor to be necessary under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any jurisdiction to perfect
the Trustee’s security interest in or lien on the Underlying Securities (as such term is defined in the related transaction
agreements). As of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Company was not instructed by any Trustors to perform
such activities. Absent the receipt of instruction from a Trustor to perform such activities, the Company’s responsibility
for criterion 1122(d)(4)(i) for the Platform is solely with regard to the manner of holding trust assets and investment of trust
assets in eligible investments and the Company does not have any duties as to the original UCC filing and any continuations to
perfect the security interest unless instructed to do so by other parties in the transaction agreement.



4.
Based on such assessment, as of and for the Period, the Company has complied, in all material respects, with the Applicable Servicing
Criteria.



KPMG
LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report with respect to Management’s assessment
of the Company’s compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria as of and for the Period.
