The Asserting Party has engaged vendors who are not considered servicers; as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, to perform specific, limited or scripted activities with respect to the servicing criteria applicable to such vendors’
activities as set forth in Appendix A to this report. The Asserting Party has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria or portion of the servicing criteria applicable to each vendor. The
Asserting Party has policies and procedures in place to provide reasonable assurance that the vendors’ activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria or portion of the servicing criteria applicable to each vendor.
The Asserting Party’s management is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 200.06 of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance’s interpretations of the rules

Except as set forth in paragraph 4 below, the Asserting Party used the criteria set forth in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB to assess the compliance with the applicable servicing criteria as of December 31, 2021 and for the
Reporting Period.
|
4. |
The criteria listed in the column titled “Inapplicable Servicing Criteria” on Appendix A hereto are inapplicable to the Asserting Party based on the activities it performs with respect to the Platform.
|
5. |
The Asserting Party has complied in all material respects with the applicable servicing criteria as of December 31, 2021 and for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform taken as a whole.
|
6. |
The Asserting Party has not identified any material deficiency in its policies and procedures to monitor the compliance by vendors with the servicing criteria applicable to each vendor as of December 31, 2021 and for the Reporting Period
with respect to the Platform taken as a whole.
|
7. |
The Asserting Party has not identified and is not aware of any material instance of noncompliance by the vendors with the servicing criteria applicable to each vendor for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform.
