2 Dated: January 25, 2019 This Notice concerns developments in the Article 77 Proceeding (as defined below) relating to the Settlement Payment provided under the RMBS Trust Settlement Agreement dated as of November 15, 2013 and modified as of July 29, 2014 (the Settlement Agreement ), by and among a group of twenty-one (21) institutional investors, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries ( JPMorgan ), the Trustees and Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as separate trustee for certain trusts for which Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serves as trustee. Capitalized terms used in this Notice and not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to them in the Settlement Agreement. A copy of the Settlement Agreement is available at: BACKGROUND On December 15, 2017, the Trustees and Payment Administrators (collectively, the Petitioners ) commenced a judicial instruction proceeding pursuant to CPLR 7701 concerning the administration and distribution of the Allocable Shares with respect to the Settlement Trusts, captioned In the matter of application of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, U.S. Bank National Association, The Bank of New York Mellon, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., Wilmington Trust, National Association, HSBC Bank USA, N.A., and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (Index. No /2017) (the Article 77 Proceeding ), by filing a petition (the Petition ) and related papers in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the Court ). Shortly after the Petition was filed, on December 19, 2017, the Court entered an order to show cause, which was supplemented by an interim order dated December 20, 2017 (collectively, the December Orders ). Pursuant to the December Orders, the Court directed each Trustee to cause the Allocable Shares of the Settlement Payment for the Settlement Trusts to be maintained as a deposit in escrow pursuant to the escrow agreement applicable to such Trustee (each, an Escrow Agreement ), until such time as the Court entered an order directing such Trustee to release the applicable Allocable Shares into the collection or distribution accounts for the related Settlement Trusts, or until such time as the Court ruled otherwise. The Petitioners provided notices dated December 19, 2017 and December 21, 2017 concerning the foregoing. These notices should be referred to for additional background information. UPDATES AND DEVELOPMENTS After the Petitioners provided notice of the Article 77 Proceeding pursuant to the December Orders, several interested persons appeared in the proceeding and filed initial responses to the Petition (the Respondents ). 1 For certain Settlement Trusts as to which there is no disagreement 1 The Respondents include: Ambac Assurance Corporation; The Segregated Account of Ambac Assurance Corporation; AEGON USA Investment Management, LLC; American General Life Insurance Company; American Home Assurance Company; American International Group, Inc.; Axonic Capital LLC; D. E. Shaw Refraction Portfolios LLC; DW Partners LP; Ellington Management Group, LLC; Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta; Federal 2

3 among the Respondents that have appeared to take a position on such Settlement Trusts regarding the distribution of the applicable Allocable Shares, the Respondents submitted to the Court consented-to proposed judgment and severance orders concerning the manner of distribution of the applicable Allocable Shares (the Distribution Orders ). From time to time, the Court has entered such Distribution Orders, which, among other things, direct that the applicable Allocable Shares be transferred out of escrow and distributed to the applicable Certificateholders. As of the date of this Notice, the Allocable Shares, plus any investment earnings thereon, have been ordered to be distributed for approximately 148 Settlement Trusts pursuant to Distribution Orders. The Allocable Shares for the approximately 122 Settlement Trusts remaining in the Article 77 Proceeding continue to be invested and maintained in escrow as directed by the December Orders. In March 2018, certain Respondents filed motions challenging the standing of investors who appeared in the Article 77 Proceeding and asserted indirect interests in Settlement Trusts (the Indirect Investors ) 2 through other structures, such as CDO, re-remic, or NIM trusts that hold the certificates issued by the Settlement Trusts (the Re-securitization Trusts ). On August 7, 2018, the Court entered a decision and order (the Standing Order ) dismissing the Indirect Investors from the Article 77 Proceeding; provided, however, that the trustees of the Resecuritization Trusts in which the Indirect Investors hold interests could be substituted into the proceeding for the Indirect Investors. Certain trustees of the Re-securitization Trusts then substituted for certain Indirect Investors in the Article 77 Proceeding at the direction of those Indirect Investors. Additionally, on August 28, 2018, and September 6, 2018, the Standing Order was appealed to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, First Judicial Department. This appeal remains pending. On September 14, 2018, Respondents filed opening briefs and related papers concerning the merits issues raised in the Petition. Responsive briefs were filed on September 28, 2018, and reply briefs were filed on October 10, On December 10, 2018, the Court held a hearing on the merits issues. At the hearing, the Court requested that the Petitioners perform financial modeling of a sample of ten Settlement Trusts, to be selected by the Respondents, in order to show the impact of the issues raised in the Petition on the administration and distribution of the Settlement Payment. The Petitioners are preparing this analysis, and summaries of the results of the analysis for the selected Settlement Trusts will eventually be filed on the Petitioners Website (defined below) and the public docket in the Article 77 Proceeding. After receipt of this Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac); Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae); FFI Fund Ltd.; Fir Tree Capital; Opportunity Master Fund III, LP; Fir Tree Capital Opportunity Master Fund, LP; Fir Tree COF III; FT SOF IV Holdings, LLC; FYI Ltd.; GMO Global Real Return (UCITS) Fund; GMO Opportunistic Income Fund; Goldman Sachs Asset Management L.P.; HBK Master Fund L.P.; HBK Services LLC; Invesco Advisors, Inc.; Kore Advisors, LP; Lexington Insurance Company; Metropolitan Life Insurance Company; National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa.; Nover Ventures, LLC; Olifant Fund Ltd.; Pacific Investment Management Company LLC; Poetic Holdings VI LLC; Poetic Holdings VII LLC; Prophet Mortgage Opportunities LP; Strategos Capital Management, LLC; Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America; The TCW Group, Inc.; The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York; The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company; Thrivent Financial for Lutherans; Tilden Park Capital Management LP; Tilden Park Investment Master Fund LP; Tilden Park Management I LLC; Voya Investment Management LLC; and Western Asset Management Company. 2 The Indirect Investors include: Poetic Holdings VI LLC; Poetic Holdings VII LLC; Prophet Mortgage Opportunities LP; Axonic Capital LLC; HBK Master Fund L.P.; and Nover Ventures, LLC. 3

4 information, the Court is expected to render a decision on the merits issues, though the timing of such decision is presently unknown. As explained in prior notices, the December Orders directed the escrow agent under each applicable Escrow Agreement to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Allocable Shares invested and reinvested in high quality money market funds holding U.S. treasury securities pending the resolution of the issues identified in the Petition. Pursuant to the December Orders, the undistributed Allocable Shares continue to be held in escrow, with interest or other earnings from such investments accruing to the benefit of Certificateholders. The escrowed Allocable Shares are assets of the Settlement Trusts. Certain Settlement Trusts are comprised of one or more real estate mortgage investment conduits ( REMICs ), as defined in Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code, and the Allocable Shares are considered assets of the REMICs for such Settlement Trusts. The Petitioners do not intend to seek further guidance from the Court at this time regarding the continued maintenance of the escrowed Allocable Shares.

This website should be consulted regularly for updates and developments. The public docket for the Article 77 Proceeding is also available through the Court s website: MISCELLANEOUS This Notice contains a summary of the matters described herein and is not a complete statement of those matters or a summary or statement of relevant law or of relevant legal procedures.
