Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Legal Proceedings.
Disclosure from Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as certificate
administrator, and as custodian:

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 an action against DBNTC
and DBTCA in New York State Supreme Court alleging that DBNTC and DBTCA failed
to perform purported duties, as trustees for 544 private-label RMBS trusts, to
enforce breaches of representations and warranties as to mortgage loans held by
the trusts and to enforce breaches by servicers of their mortgage loan servicing
obligations for the trusts.  During the course of the litigation, plaintiffs
dismissed the case from New York State Supreme Court and refiled two separate
cases, one in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
(the "BlackRock SDNY Case") and the other in the Superior Court of California,
Orange County (the "BlackRock California Case").  Pursuant to a settlement among
the parties, the BlackRock SDNY Case was dismissed on December 6, 2018, and the
BlackRock California Case was dismissed on January 11, 2019.

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 U.S.
Trust Indenture Act of 1939 ("TIA"); breach of contract; breach of fiduciary duty;
negligence and gross negligence; violation of the New York Streit Act ("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 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.  On October
27, 2021, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a supplemental motion for summary judgment relating
to plaintiffs' standing.  On February 8, 2022, the court issued an order in which
it granted DBNTC and DBTCA's supplemental motion for summary judgment, granted in
part DBNTC and DBTCA's initial motion for summary judgment, and denied plaintiffs'
motion for partial summary judgment.  As a result of that order, all of plaintiffs'
claims were dismissed with prejudice.

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.  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.  On February 8, 2022, the court issued an order in which it granted
in part DBNTC and DBTCA's motion for summary judgment and denied plaintiffs' motion
for partial summary judgment.  As a result of that order, many of plaintiffs' claims
and theories were dismissed with prejudice.  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
TIA, 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. On June 20, 2017, the parties filed a stipulation, voluntarily dismissing
with prejudice all claims as to four additional trusts. On January 27, 2021, 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 IKB's claims for violations of the Streit Act,
Regulation AB, and Section 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as well as certain aspects of
IKB's claims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and violation of the TIA.
The court denied the remainder of the motion to dismiss. IKB's remaining claims for breach
of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty to avoid conflicts of interest, and
violation of the TIA will proceed. On May 10, 2021, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a notice of
appeal with the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division, First Department, regarding
certain aspects of the court's order on the motion to dismiss.  That appeal has been fully
briefed.  On May 20, 2021, IKB filed a notice of cross appeal with respect to other
aspects of that order. That appeal is being briefed.  On June 2, 2021, IKB filed a
motion for re-argument regarding certain aspects of the court's order on the motion
to dismiss, which the court denied on August 3, 2021.  On May 13, 2021, DBNTC and
DBTCA filed an answer to the complaint.  On October 28, 2021, the parties filed a
stipulation, voluntarily dismissing with prejudice all claims as to seven additional
trusts.  On December 29, 2021, the parties filed a stipulation, voluntarily dismissing
with prejudice all claims as to one additional trust.  Discovery is ongoing.

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 under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement for this transaction.
