The master servicer of a pooling and servicing agreement or trust and servicing agreement also functions as the primary servicer of the related mortgage loans serviced and administered pursuant to such agreement unless a separate primary servicer is identified herein.

As a result, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is a “servicer” as defined in Item 1108(a)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, in the capacities described above, because it is servicing mortgage loans that constituted 10% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria, accountants’ attestation reports and servicer compliance statements delivered by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

In accordance with the Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, Section 200.03 (Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18, Servicer’s Assessment of Compliance), this percentage must be reduced pro rata because it was only acting as special servicer of the Griffin Portfolio Mortgage Loan from July 2, 2021 to December 31, 2021, the Park Square Mortgage Loan from July 2, 2021 to December 31, 2021 and the U.S. Industrial Portfolio III Mortgage Loan from July 2, 2021 to December 31, 2021.

AEGON USA Realty Advisors, LLC is the special servicer of the Colorado Center Mortgage Loan, which constituted approximately 5.7% of the asset pool of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. In accordance with the Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, Section 200.03 (Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18, Servicer’s Assessment of Compliance), this percentage must be reduced pro rata because it was only acting as special servicer of the Colorado Center Mortgage Loan from January 1, 2021 to April 20, 2021.

However, during the reporting period, the trustee did not perform any servicing function with respect to the servicing criteria specified in Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB. The master servicer or the special servicer, to the extent required, performed the servicing function identified with respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, and each such party included Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB in the assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and accountant’s attestation report for the subject transaction. As a result, this Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria of the trustee. One or more other servicers of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Colorado Center Mortgage Loan, the Griffin Portfolio Mortgage Loan, the Park Square Mortgage Loan, the U.S. Industrial Portfolio III Mortgage Loan and the Bass Pro & Cabela's Portfolio Mortgage Loan have delivered one or more assessments of compliance with respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB.

These servicing functions are included within the servicing criteria set forth in Items 1122(d)(4)(xi) and 1122(d)(4)(xii) of Regulation AB. Therefore, under the principles-based definition of “servicer” set forth in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB that looks to the functions that an entity performs, this vendor is a “servicer” for the purposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB. See Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, Section 301.01 (Item 1101(j)).
This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes an assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria, accountants’ attestation report and servicer compliance statement from Computershare Trust Company, National Association (“CTCNA”). CTCNA was engaged by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), in its capacity as certificate administrator and custodian, to perform certain specified servicing functions identified in the assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and accountants’ attestation reports.

Item 1117 of Regulation AB, Legal Proceedings.
The registrant knows of no material pending legal proceeding involving the trust or any party related to the trust, other than routine litigation incidental to the duties of those respective parties, and the following, with respect to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator and as custodian.
In December 2014, Phoenix Light SF Limited and certain related entities and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) filed complaints in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Wells Fargo Bank, alleging claims against Wells Fargo Bank in its capacity as trustee for a number of residential mortgage-backed securities trusts. Complaints raising similar allegations have been filed by Commerzbank AG in the Southern District of New York and by IKB International and IKB Deutsche Industriebank in New York state court. In each case, the plaintiffs allege that Wells Fargo Bank, as trustee, caused losses to investors, and plaintiffs assert causes of action based upon, among other things, the trustee’s alleged failure to notify and enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties, notify investors of alleged events of default, and abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Wells Fargo Bank previously settled two class action lawsuits with similar allegations that were filed in November 2014 and December 2016 by institutional investors in the Southern District of New York and New York state court, respectively. In addition, Park Royal I LLC and Park Royal II LLC have filed complaints in New York state court alleging Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee, failed to take appropriate actions upon learning of defective mortgage loan documentation. In March 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to resolve the case filed by the NCUA.
In addition to the foregoing cases, in August 2014 and August 2015 Nomura Credit & Capital Inc. (“Nomura”) and Natixis Real Estate Holdings, LLC (“Natixis”) filed a total of seven third-party complaints against Wells Fargo Bank in New York state court. In the underlying first-party actions, Nomura and Natixis have been sued for alleged breaches of representations and warranties made in connection with residential mortgage-backed securities sponsored by them. In the third-party actions, Nomura and Natixis allege that Wells Fargo Bank, as master servicer, primary servicer or securities administrator, failed to notify Nomura and Natixis of their own breaches, failed to properly oversee the primary servicers, and failed to adhere to accepted servicing practices. Natixis additionally alleges that Wells Fargo Bank failed to perform default oversight duties. Wells Fargo Bank has asserted counterclaims alleging that Nomura and Natixis failed to provide Wells Fargo Bank notice of their representation and warranty breaches.
With respect to each of the foregoing litigations, Wells Fargo Bank believes plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intends to contest the claims vigorously, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome of the litigations or the possible impact of the litigations on Wells Fargo Bank or the related RMBS trusts.
Item 1119 of Regulation AB, Affiliations and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

The report on assessment of compliance for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, furnished pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB by Aegon USA Realty Advisors, LLC (“Aegon” or the “Company”), as special servicer, discloses that the following material instance of noncompliance occurred with respect to its platform:
The examination performed by PWC identified an instance of material noncompliance with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d)(3)(i)(A) of Regulation AB applicable to the Company during year ended December 31, 2021. More specifically, for the only active special serviced deal subject to Item 1122(d)(3)(i)(A), the report to the investors was not prepared in accordance with the timeframes and other terms set forth in the transaction agreements for the period of January 1, 2021 to January 21, 2021. UBSCM 2017-C4 is the specific deal related to the aforementioned finding. No other deals within Aegon’s CMBS special servicing portfolio were related to or impacted by this instance of non-compliance.
Management acknowledges the timeframe for reporting for this active special serviced deal was missed by two days. Despite the timing discrepancy, there was no impact on any investor reporting, issuing, or servicing. No additional testing was available for this particular criteria due to the downsizing of the CMBS portfolio given Aegon’s pending exit from the business line.

More specifically, for the only active special serviced deal subject to Item 1122(d)(3)(i)(A), the report to the investors was not prepared in accordance with the timeframes and other terms set forth in the transaction agreements for the period of January 1, 2021 to January 21, 2021. UBSCM 2017-C4 is the specific deal related to the aforementioned finding.

Management acknowledges the timeframe for reporting for this active special serviced deal was missed by two days. Despite the timing discrepancy, there was no impact on any investor reporting, issuing, or servicing. No additional testing was available for this particular criteria due to the downsizing of the CMBS portfolio given Aegon’s pending exit from the business line.
