Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. Legal Proceedings.

Disclosure from CWCapital Asset Management LLC ("CWCAM"), as special servicer:

On December 17, 2015, U.S. Bank National Association, the trustee under five pooling and servicing
agreements for (i) Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-C30, (ii) COBALT CMBS Commercial
Trust 2007-C2, (iii) Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-C31, (iv) ML-CFC Commercial
Mortgage Trust 2007-5 and (v) ML-CFC Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-6 commenced a proceeding
with the Second Judicial District Court of Ramsey County, Minnesota (the "State Court") for a
declaratory judgment as to the proper allocation of certain proceeds ("Disputed Proceeds")
received by CWCAM in connection with the sale of the Peter Cooper Village and Stuyvesant
Town property in New York, New York securing loans held by those trusts.  CWCAM was the
special servicer of such property.  The petition requests the State Court to instruct
the trustee, the trust beneficiaries, and any other interested parties as to the amount of
the Disputed Proceeds, if any, that constitute penalty interest and/or the amount of the
Disputed Proceeds, if any, that constitute gain-on-sale proceeds, with respect to each trust.
On February 24, 2016, CWCAM made a limited appearance with the State Court to file a motion
to dismiss this proceeding based on lack of jurisdiction, mootness, standing and forum non
conveniens.  On July 19, 2016, the State Court denied CWCAM's motion to dismiss.  On
July 22, 2016, the action was removed to federal court in Minnesota ("Federal Court").
On October 21, 2016, the Federal Court held a hearing on the motion to transfer the action
to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York ("SDNY Court"), a
motion to remand to state court and a motion to hear CWCAM's request for reconsideration of
the motion to dismiss.  On March 14, 2017, the Federal Court reserved the determination on
the motion to hear CWCAM's request for reconsideration of the motion to dismiss, denied the
motion to remand the matter to state court and granted the motion to transfer the proceeding
to the SDNY Court.  Cross motions for judgment on the pleadings were filed but the SDNY Court
was unable to decide the case based on the pleadings and the SDNY Court ordered discovery.
All fact discovery was completed in December, 2018 and expert discovery was completed on
March 15, 2019.  The parties submitted cross motions for summary judgment, and on March
19, 2020, the SDNY Court entered an opinion and order in which it granted summary judgment
in CWCAM's favor and held that CWCAM was entitled to the entire amount of penalty interest
and that CWCAM's determination of Yield Maintenance was correct.  In the 127-page opinion,
the SDNY Court found for CWCAM on every issue presented by the trustee's petition, namely,
that the funds in dispute constitute penalty interest and yield maintenance, not gain-on-sale
proceeds, and that the amount of penalty interest and yield maintenance was correctly
calculated. An appeal of the SDNY Court's decision was taken on April 29, 2020.  Oral
argument on the appeal occurred on June 21, 2021.  On July 14, 2022, the Second Circuit
entered a decision affirming in part and reversing in part the SDNY Court's decision,
and remanding to the SDNY Court for further proceedings.  The Second Circuit affirmed
the SDNY's Court holding that Penalty Interest and Yield Maintenance are paid before
Gain-on-Sale Proceeds.  The Second Circuit reversed and remanded for further proceedings
that portion of the SDNY Court's related to approximately $67.2 million in interest on advances.

On December 1, 2017, a complaint against 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 "Original Complaint"). The gravamen of the Original
Complaint alleged 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 14 counts pled in the
Original Complaint. Of those 14, 5 claims were asserted against CWCAM for aiding and abetting
breach of fiduciary duty, conversion and unjust enrichment. On May 23, 2018, the Original
Complaint was dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.   On June 28, 2018, CWCapital
Cobalt Vr Ltd. filed a substantially similar complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of
New York, County of New York styled as CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd. v. CWCapital Investments
LLC, et al., Index No. 653277/2018 (the "New Complaint").  The gravamen of the New Complaint
is the same as the previous complaint filed in the United State District Court for the Southern
District of New York.  In total there are 16 counts pled in the New Complaint. Of those 16
counts, 5 claims were asserted against CWCAM for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty,
conversion and unjust enrichment, 1 count seeks a declaratory judgement that the plaintiff
has the right to enforce the contracts in question and 1 count seeks an injunction requiring
the defendants to recognize the plaintiff as the directing holder for the trusts in question.
On January 11, 2019, the plaintiff dismissed with prejudice the declaratory judgment and
injunction counts.  The New Complaint and related summons was not served on the defendants
until July 13, 2018 and July 16, 2018.  The plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction
was denied by the court on July 31, 2018.  On August 3, 2018, the defendants, including CWCAM,
filed a motion to dismiss the New Complaint in its entirety. On August 20, 2019, the court
entered an order granting defendants' motion almost in its entirety, dismissing 11 of the
16 counts and partially dismissing 2 additional counts.  Of the remaining counts, 2 are
asserted against CWCAM for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment.
On September 19, 2019, CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd. filed a notice of appeal relating to the August
20, 2019 dismissal order and on September 26, 2019, filed an amended complaint against CWCI and
CWCAM attempting to address deficiencies relating to certain of the claims dismissed by the
August, 20, 2019 order.  CWCI and CWCAM filed its Motion to Dismiss the amended complaint on
October 28, 2019.  The court heard argument on the Motion to Dismiss the amended complaint on
January 22, 2020 and on October 23, 2020, the court granted the motion dismissing the amended
claims.  On November 30, 2020, CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd filed a notice of appeal relating to
the October 23, 2020 dismissal order.  On April 27, 2021, the First Department affirmed the
dismissal as to claims against CWCAM that were part of the August 20, 2019 dismissal, but
reversed the dismissal of two counts for breach of the Collateral Management Agreement against
CWCI.  CWCI has sought leave to file an appeal of the decision. The plaintiff has also sought
leave to appeal the dismissal of the claims against CWCAM.  Both requests for leave were denied
by the First Department.  On May 15, 2020, CWCI and CWCAM filed a motion to renew its motion
to dismiss as to 4 of the remaining counts (including the remaining two counts against CWCAM
for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment), based on a decision
entered by Judge Failla in a trust instruction proceeding in the US District Court for the
Southern District of New York awarding summary judgment in favor of CWCAM.  On
September 7, 2021, the court denied the motion to renew.  CWCI and CWCAM filed a notice
of appeal, which they perfected by the filing of their opening brief on July 1, 2022.
On October 1, 2021, CWCI and CWCAM moved to reargue the denial of the motion to renew
(or alternatively, the motion to dismiss) with respect to certain of Cobalt's claims,
including the remaining 2 claims against CWCAM, based on the First Department's
April 27, 2021 decision.  On March 24, 2022, the court denied the relief sought in the
motion to reargue.  CWCI and CWCAM have appealed the court's decision on the motion to
reargue and filed their opening brief on July 11, 2022.  CWCAM believes that it has
performed its obligations under the related pooling and servicing agreements in good faith
and the remaining allegations in the New Complaint are without merit.
