Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2.  Legal Proceedings.
Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas ("DBTCA") and Deutsche Bank National
Trust Company ("DBNTC") have been sued by investors in civil litigation concerning their
role as trustees of certain RMBS trusts.

On June 18, 2014, a group of investors, including funds managed by Blackrock Advisors,
LLC, PIMCO-Advisors, L.P., and others, filed a derivative action against DBNTC and
DBTCA in New York State Supreme Court purportedly on behalf of and for the benefit of
544 private-label RMBS trusts asserting claims for alleged violations of the U.S. Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 ("Trust Indenture Act"), breach of contract, breach of fiduciary
duty and negligence based on DBNTC and DBTCA's alleged failure to perform their
duties as trustees for the trusts. Plaintiffs subsequently dismissed their state court
complaint and filed a derivative and class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New York on behalf of and for the benefit of 564 private-label
RMBS trusts, which substantially overlapped with the trusts at issue in the state court
action. The complaint alleges that the trusts at issue have suffered total realized
collateral losses of U.S. $89.4 billion, but the complaint does not include a demand for
money damages in a sum certain. DBNTC and DBTCA filed a motion to dismiss, and on
January 19, 2016, the court partially granted the motion on procedural grounds: as to
the 500 trusts that are governed by Pooling and Servicing Agreements, the court
declined to exercise jurisdiction. The court did not rule on substantive defenses asserted
in the motion to dismiss.  On March 22, 2016, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in
federal court.  In the amended complaint, in connection with 62 trusts governed by
indenture agreements, plaintiffs assert claims for breach of contract, violation of the
Trust Indenture Act, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of duty to avoid conflicts of
interest.   The amended complaint alleges that the trusts at issue have suffered total
realized collateral losses of U.S. $9.8 billion, but the complaint does not include a
demand for money damages in a sum certain.  On July 15, 2016, DBNTC and DBTCA filed
a motion to dismiss the amended complaint.  On January 23, 2017, the court granted in
part and denied in part DBNTC and DBTCA's motion to dismiss.  The court granted the
motion to dismiss with respect to plaintiffs' conflict-of-interest claim, thereby dismissing
it, and denied the motion to dismiss with respect to plaintiffs' breach of contract claim
(except as noted below) and claim for violation of the Trust Indenture Act, thereby
allowing those claims to proceed.  On January 26, 2017, the parties filed a joint
stipulation and proposed order dismissing plaintiffs' claim for breach of fiduciary duty.
On January 27, 2017, the court entered the parties' joint stipulation and ordered that
plaintiffs' claim for breach of fiduciary duty be dismissed.  On February 3, 2017,
following a hearing concerning DBNTC and DBTCA's motion to dismiss on February 2,
2017, the court issued a short form order dismissing (i) plaintiffs' representation and
warranty claims as to 21 trusts whose originators and/or sponsors had entered
bankruptcy and the deadline for asserting claims against such originators and/or
sponsors had passed as of 2009 and (ii) plaintiffs' claims to the extent they were
premised upon any alleged pre-Event of Default duty to terminate servicers.
On March 27, 2017, DBNTC and DBTCA filed an answer to the amended complaint.
Discovery is ongoing.

On March 25, 2016, the BlackRock plaintiffs filed a state court action against DBTCA in
the Superior Court of California, Orange County with respect to 513 trusts.  On May 18,
2016, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint with respect to 465 trusts, and included
DBNTC as an additional defendant.  The amended complaint asserts three causes of
action:  breach of contract; breach of fiduciary duty; and breach of the duty to avoid
conflicts of interest.  Plaintiffs purport to bring the action on behalf of themselves and
all other current owners of certificates in the 465 trusts.  The amended complaint
alleges that the trusts at issue have suffered total realized collateral losses of U.S. $75.7
billion, but does not include a demand for money damages in a sum certain.  On August
22, 2016, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a demurrer as to Plaintiffs' breach of fiduciary duty
cause of action and breach of the duty to avoid conflicts of interest cause of action and
motion to strike as to Plaintiffs' breach of contract cause of action.  On October 18,
2016, the court granted DBNTC and DBTCA's demurrer, providing Plaintiffs with thirty
days' leave to amend, and denied DBNTC and DBTCA's motion to strike.  Plaintiffs did
not further amend their complaint and, on December 19, 2016, DBNTC and DBTCA filed
an answer to the amended complaint.  Discovery is ongoing.

On September 27, 2017, DBTCA was added as a defendant to a case brought by certain
special purpose entities including Phoenix Light SF Limited in the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New York, in which the plaintiffs previously alleged incorrectly
that DBNTC served as trustee for all 43 of the trusts at issue.  On September 27, 2017,
plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint that names DBTCA as a defendant in addition
to DBNTC.  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 Trust Indenture Act; breach of contract; breach of fiduciary
duty; negligence and gross negligence; violation of the Streit Act; and breach of the
covenant of good faith.  However, in the third amended complaint, plaintiffs
acknowledge that, before DBTCA was added to the case, the court dismissed plaintiffs'
Trust Indenture Act claims, negligence and gross negligence claims, Streit Act claims,
claims for breach of the covenant of good faith, and certain theories of plaintiffs' breach
of contract claims, and plaintiffs only include these claims to preserve any rights on
appeal.  Plaintiffs allege damages of "hundreds of millions of dollars."  On November 13, 2017,
DBNTC and DBTCA filed an answer to the third amended complaint.  Discovery is ongoing.

On November 30, 2017, DBTCA was added as a defendant to a case brought by
Commerzbank AG ("Commerzbank") in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of New York, in which Commerzbank previously alleged incorrectly that DBNTC served
as trustee for all 50 of the trusts at issue.  On November 30, 2017, Commerzbank filed a
second amended complaint that names DBTCA as a defendant in addition to DBNTC.
DBTCA serves as trustee for 1 of the 50 trusts at issue.  DBNTC serves as trustee for the
other 49 trusts at issue.  Commerzbank's second amended complaint brings claims for
violation of the TIA; breach of contract; breach of fiduciary duty; negligence; violation of
the Streit Act; and breach of the covenant of good faith.  However, in the second
amended complaint, Commerzbank acknowledges that, before DBTCA was added to the
case, the court dismissed Commerzbank's TIA claims for the trusts governed by pooling
and servicing agreements, as well as its Streit Act claims and claims for breach of the
covenant of good faith, and Commerzbank only includes these claims to preserve any
rights on appeal.  The second amended complaint alleges that DBNTC and DBTCA
caused Commerzbank to suffer "hundreds of millions of dollars in losses," but the
complaint does not include a demand for money damages in a sum certain.  Discovery is
ongoing.

On December 30, 2015, IKB International, S.A. in Liquidation and IKB Deutsche
Industriebank A.G. (collectively, "IKB"), as an investor in 37 RMBS trusts, filed a
summons with notice in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County,
against DBNTC and DBTCA as trustees of the trusts.  On May 27, 2016, IKB served its
complaint asserting claims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of
duty to avoid conflicts of interest, violation of New York's Streit Act, violation of the
Trust Indenture Act, violation of Regulation 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 in damages.  On October 5, 2016, DBNTC and DBTCA, together with several other
trustees defending lawsuits by IKB, filed a joint motion to dismiss.  On January 6, 2017,
IKB filed a notice of discontinuance, voluntarily dismissing with prejudice all claims as to
three trusts.  As of January 17, 2017, DBNTC and DBTCA's motion to dismiss has been
briefed and is awaiting decision by the court.  On June 20, 2017, the parties filed a
stipulation, voluntarily dismissing with prejudice all claims as to four additional trusts.
Certain limited discovery is permitted to go forward while the motion to dismiss is
pending.

It is DBTCA's belief that it has no pending legal proceedings (including, based on
DBTCA's present evaluation, the litigation disclosed in the foregoing paragraphs) that
would materially affect its ability to perform its duties as Trustee under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement for this transaction.

On December 1, 2017, a complaint against CWCapital Asset Management LLC ("CWCAM") and
others was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York styled as
CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd. v. CWCapital Investments LLC, et al., No. 17-cv-9463.  The gravamen
of the complaint alleges breaches of a contract and fiduciary duties by CWCAM's affiliate,
CWCapital Investments LLC in its capacity as collateral manager for the collateralized debt
obligation transaction involving CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd.  In total, there are fourteen (14) counts
pled in the complaint.  Of those 14, five (5) claims are asserted against CWCAM for aiding and
abetting breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, and unjust enrichment.  CWCAM denies the claims
and intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims.
