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 (TIA), 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 TIA, 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 TIA, 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.  On January 26, 2018,
Plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification.  DBNTC and DBTCA's opposition to Plaintiffs' motion is due
on March 12, 2018, and Plaintiffs' reply is due on April 2, 2018.  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.  On January 17, 2018, Plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification.  DBNTC and DBTCA's
opposition to Plaintiffs' motion is due on March 16, 2018, and Plaintiffs' reply is due on April 16, 2018.
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 TIA; 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' TIA 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.  On January 29, 2018, DBNTC and DBTCA filed an answer
to the second amended complaint.  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.
