No single obligor represents 10% or more of the pool assets held by GE Equipment Midticket LLC, Series 2013-1 (the “Issuing Entity”).

 

ITEM 1114(b)(2) OF REGULATION AB. CREDIT ENHANCEMENT AND OTHER SUPPORT, EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN DERIVATIVES INSTRUMENTS (INFORMATION REGARDING SIGNIFICANT ENHANCEMENT PROVIDERS).

 

No entity or group of affiliated entities providing credit enhancement or other support with respect to either payment on the pool assets held by the Issuing Entity or payments on the notes (the “Notes”) issued by the Issuing Entity is liable or contingently liable to provide payments representing 10% or more of the cash flow supporting any class of Notes.

 

ITEM 1115(b)(2) OF REGULATION AB. CERTAIN DERIVATIVES INSTRUMENTS (FINANCIAL INFORMATION).

 

No entity or group of affiliated entities provides any derivative instruments that are used to alter the payment characteristics of the cashflows from the Issuing Entity.

 

ITEM 1117 OF REGULATION AB. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

There are no legal proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated by governmental authorities) against any of General Electric Capital Corporation (the “Sponsor”), CEF Equipment Holding, L.L.C. (the “Depositor”), the Issuing Entity or the other parties described in Item 1117 of Regulation AB or to which any of their respective property is subject, that are material to the holders of the Notes.

 

 

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Indenture Trustee”), as indenture trustee, has provided the following information to the Depositor for inclusion in this Form 10-K: Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“DBTCA”) has been named as a defendant in civil litigation concerning its role as trustee of certain residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts.  On June 18, 2014, a group of investors (“Plaintiff Investors”) filed a civil action against DBTCA and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (“DBNTC”) 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 Trust Indenture Act of 1939, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence based on DBTCA's and DBNTC's alleged failure to perform their obligations as trustees for the trusts (the “NY Derivative Action”).  An amended complaint was filed on July 16, 2014, adding Plaintiff Investors and RMBS trusts to the NY Derivative Action.  On November 24, 2014, the Plaintiff Investors moved to voluntarily dismiss the NY Derivative Action without prejudice. Also on November 24, 2014, substantially the same group of Plaintiff Investors filed a civil action against DBTCA and DBNTC in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “SDNY Action”), making substantially the same allegations as the New York Derivative Action with respect to 564 RMBS trusts (542 of which were at issue in the NY Derivative Action).  The SDNY Action is styled both as a derivative action on behalf of the named RMBS Trusts and, in the alternative, as a putative class action on behalf of holders of RMBS representing interests in those RMBS trusts.  DBTCA is vigorously defending the SDNY Action.  DBTCA has no pending legal proceedings (including, based on DBTCA's present evaluation, the litigation disclosed in this paragraph) that would materially affect its ability to perform its duties as Indenture Trustee.

 

ITEM 1119 OF REGULATION AB. AFFILIATIONS AND CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

 

The information required by Item 1119 of Regulation AB has been previously reported and has been omitted from this report on Form 10-K in reliance on the Instruction to Item 1119.

 

ITEM 1122 OF REGULATION AB. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE SERVICING CRITERIA.

 

The Sponsor (in its roles as servicer and administrator) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (in its role as indenture trustee) (together, 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 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. Each of the Servicing Parties has provided an attestation report (each an “Attestation Report”) by one or more public accounting firms, which reports are also attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K.

 

None of the Servicing Reports or Attestation Reports has identified any material instance of noncompliance with the servicing criteria to the respective Servicing Party.

 

ITEM 1123 OF REGULATION AB. SERVICER COMPLIANCE STATEMENT.
