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, 2019 (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,
2019 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 other than as identified on Schedule A attached.



5. Schedule B attached includes Management’s Discussion
of Material Instances of Noncompliance by the Company noted in Schedule A, including remediation efforts taken by the Company



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