Item 1119 of Regulation AB. Affiliations and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
 
The Sponsor is the originator, as contemplated by Item 1110 of Regulation AB, of all of the pool assets owned by the Issuing Entity.  The Sponsor is also the servicer.  The Depositor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Sponsor and therefore, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the originator and the servicer.  Through its purchase of the Certificates, the Depositor has acquired a 100% ownership interest in the Issuing Entity; therefore, the Issuing Entity is an affiliated party of the Depositor and, indirectly of, the Sponsor (including in its role as originator and primary servicer).
 
The Indenture Trustee is not affiliated with any of the Sponsor (including in its role as originator and primary servicer), the Depositor or the Issuing Entity.
 
There are no significant obligors, external enhancement or support providers, or other material parties related to the Notes or Certificates.
 
In addition, there are no business relationships, agreements, arrangements, transactions or understandings outside the ordinary course of business or on terms other than would be obtained in an arm's length transaction with an unrelated party, apart from the transaction involving the issuance of the Notes and certificates by the Issuing Entity, between the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Issuing Entity and any of the parties mentioned in this Item.
 
Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.
 
The Sponsor (in its role as servicer) and the Indenture Trustee (collectively, the “Servicing Parties”) have each been identified by the registrant as parties participating in the servicing function with respect to the asset pool held by the Issuing Entity. Each of the Servicing Parties has completed a report on an assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to it (each, a “Servicing Report”), which Servicing Reports are attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K. In addition, each of the Sponsor and the Indenture Trustee has provided an attestation report (each, an “Attestation Report”) by one or more registered public accounting firms, which reports are also attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K. Neither of the Servicing Reports prepared by the Indenture Trustee nor the Attestation Report provided by the Indenture Trustee, has identified any material instance of noncompliance with the servicing criteria applicable to the respective Servicing Party.
 
Item 1123 of Regulation AB. Servicer Compliance Statement.
 
The Sponsor (in its role as servicer) has been identified by the registrant as a servicer with respect to the asset pool held by the Issuing Entity. The Sponsor has completed a statement of compliance with applicable servicing criteria (a “Compliance Statement”), in each case signed by an authorized officer of the Sponsor. The Compliance Statement is attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K.
