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
residential mortgage-backed securities ("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 (the "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 alleged that the trusts at issue had suffered
total realized collateral losses of U.S. $89.4 billion, but the complaint did not include a
demand for money damages in a sum certain. 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 asserted 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 alleged that the trusts at issue had suffered total realized collateral losses
of U.S. $9.8 billion, but the complaint did not include a demand for money damages in a sum
certain. On December 6, 2018, the court entered the parties' stipulation voluntarily dismissing
the action with prejudice.

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 January 17, 2018, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification. On
May 30, 2018, the court denied that motion. On June 8, 2018, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal
from the denial of that motion. On December 6, 2018, the court entered the parties' stipulation
voluntarily dismissing plaintiffs' appeal.  On December 13, 2018, plaintiffs submitted a notice
of settlement and a request for dismissal.  The court has yet to dismiss the case.

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
New York's Streit Act (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. On December 7, 2018, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a motion for summary judgment.  Also on
December 7, 2018, plaintiffs, jointly with Commerzbank AG (see description of Commerzbank case
below), filed a motion for partial summary judgment.  Both motions are being briefed by the
parties.  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 one 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 Trust Indenture Act; 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 Trust Indenture Act 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. On December 7, 2018, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a motion for summary judgment.
Also on December 7, 2018, Commerzbank, jointly with the Phoenix Light plaintiffs, filed a motion
for partial summary judgment.  Both motions are being briefed by the parties.  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 the 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.
