Substitute Information Provided in Accordance with General Instruction J to Form 10-K:

 

ITEM 1112(b) of Regulation AB. Significant Obligors of Pool Assets (Financial Information).

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) 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.

 

Except as set forth below, there are no legal proceedings pending (or proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities) against any of Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance, LLC (formerly GE Commercial Distribution Finance LLC, “WFCDF” or the “Sponsor”), the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Issuing Entity, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”), Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC, or Polaris Acceptance, or of which any property of the foregoing is subject, that are material to holders of the Notes.

 

The Indenture Trustee has provided the following information for inclusion in this Form 10-K:

 

 

 

On June 18, 2014, a group of investors (“Plaintiff Investors”) filed a civil action against Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“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 NY 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.  On January 19, 2016, the court overseeing the SDNY Action granted in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss on procedural grounds:  as to the 500 trusts that are governed by Pooling and Servicing Agreements, the court declined to exercise jurisdiction. The court did not rule on substantive defenses asserted in defendants’ motion to dismiss.  The court further ordered plaintiffs to file an amended complaint consistent with its ruling as to the remaining 64 trusts governed by indentures.  The defendants will have an opportunity to file new defensive motions with respect to the amended complaint after it is filed. DBTCA will continue to vigorously defend the SDNY Action.

 

On December 30, 2015, IKB International, S.A. and IKB Deutsche Industriebank A.G. filed a Summons With Notice in New York state court naming as defendants DBNTC and DBTCA, as trustees of 37 RMBS trusts (the “IKB Action”).  The claims in the IKB Action appear to be substantively similar to the SDNY Action.  The IKB Action is not styled as a putative class action, but may attempt to bring derivative claims on behalf of the named RMBS Trusts.  DBTCA intends to vigorously defend the IKB Action.

 

DBTCA 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 indenture trustee on behalf of the noteholders.

 

The Owner Trustee has provided the following information for inclusion in this Form 10-K:

 

In the ordinary course of business, The Bank of New York Mellon, an affiliate of BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware, is named as a defendant in or made a party to pending and potential legal actions. In connection with its role as trustee of certain residential mortgage-backed securitization (“RMBS”) transactions, The Bank of New York Mellon has been named as a defendant in a number of legal actions brought by RMBS investors. These lawsuits allege that the trustee had expansive duties under the governing agreements, including the duty to investigate and pursue breach of representation and warranty claims against other parties to the RMBS transactions. While it is inherently difficult to predict the eventual outcomes of pending actions, The Bank of New York Mellon denies liability and intends to defend the litigations vigorously. Other than the foregoing, there are no legal proceedings pending or proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities against the Owner Trustee that will have a materially adverse effect on its services as Owner 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.

 

GE (as successor by merger to GE Capital), GE Capital US, WFCDF and DBTCA (in its role as Indenture Trustee) (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 Servicing Parties 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 the Servicing Reports nor the Attestation Reports for DBTCA, WFCDF, GE or GE Capital US have identified any material instances of noncompliance with the servicing criteria applicable to DBTCA, WFCDF, GE or GE Capital US, as applicable.

 

ITEM 1123 of Regulation AB. Servicer Compliance Statement.

 

GE (as successor by merger to GE Capital) (in its role as servicer), GE Capital US and WFCDF have been identified by the registrant as servicers with respect to the asset pool held by the Issuing Entity. Each of GE, GE Capital US and WFCDF has completed a statement of compliance (each a “Compliance Statement”), in each case signed by an authorized officer of GE, GE Capital US and WFCDF, respectively. The Compliance Statements are attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K.
