The following statement is being issued by GCG, Inc. regarding

NOTICE OF A SPECIAL PROCEEDING AND PROPOSED SETTLEMENT
BETWEEN THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON, AS TRUSTEE OR INDENTURE
TRUSTEE, AND BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATION, COUNTRYWIDE HOME
LOANS, INC., COUNTRYWIDE FINANCIAL CORPORATION, AND BAC HOME LOANS
SERVICING, LP
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN TO THE HOLDERS OF CERTIFICATES OR
NOTES (”CERTIFICATEHOLDERS”) UNDER THE 530 COUNTRYWIDE
MORTGAGE-SECURITIZATION TRUSTS LISTED IN EXHIBIT A
(”TRUSTS”) AND OTHER PERSONS POTENTIALLY INTERESTED IN THE
TRUSTS. THIS NOTICE CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR
CERTIFICATEHOLDERS AND OTHER PERSONS POTENTIALLY INTERESTED IN THE
TRUSTS.
IF APPLICABLE, ALL DEPOSITORIES, CUSTODIANS, AND OTHER
INTERMEDIARIES RECEIVING THIS NOTICE ARE REQUESTED TO
EXPEDITE RETRANSMITTAL TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS IN A TIMELY
MANNER.
This notice (the “Notice”) is given to you by The Bank of New
York Mellon (”Trustee”), as trustee or indenture trustee under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreements and Indentures and related Sales
and Servicing Agreements (collectively, the “Governing Agreements”)
governing the Trusts.
A settlement has been reached between the Trustee, on the one
hand, and Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. (”CHL”), Countrywide
Financial Corporation (together with CHL, “Countrywide”), Bank of
America Corporation (”BAC”), and BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP,
formerly known as Countrywide Home Loans Servicing, LP (”BAC HLS,”
and together with BAC, “Bank of America”), on the other, concerning
CHL’s alleged breaches of representations and warranties in the
Governing Agreements, and BAC HLS’s alleged violations of prudent
servicing obligations thereunder (the “Settlement”). The Settlement
requires Bank of America and/or Countrywide to pay a total of
US$8,500,000,000.00 (US$8.5 billion) into the Trusts (the
“Settlement Payment”). It also requires BAC HLS to implement, among
other things, a series of loan servicing procedures and
improvements. The Trustee has filed a Verified Petition and
commenced a special proceeding, In the matter of the application
of The Bank of New York Mellon (Index No. 651786/2011), in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the
“Court”) seeking a judgment, among other things, approving the
Settlement and ordering that the Settlement is binding on all
Certificateholders. The Settlement Agreement is attached to the
Verified Petition as Exhibit B.
The Court has scheduled a hearing on the Verified Petition for
November 17, 2011 at 2:15 p.m. at the Supreme Court of the State of
New York, County of New York, 60 Centre Street, New York, New York
10007. The Court has the right to change the hearing date or time
without further notice. At the hearing, the Court will determine,
among other things, whether to approve the Settlement and make it
binding on all Certificateholders, and will consider other
important matters described in the Settlement Agreement. The
Settlement, if approved by the Court, will affect the rights and
interests of all Certificateholders, and their
successors-in-interests and assigns, in the Trusts, including by,
among other things, releasing claims on behalf of the Trustee, the
Trusts and all Certificateholders in the Trusts and their
successors-in-interests and assigns arising out of or relating to
(i) the origination, sale, or delivery of mortgages to the Trusts,
including representations and warranties made with respect to those
mortgages and any mortgage repurchase obligations, (ii) servicing
of the mortgages in the Trusts, with certain exceptions, and (iii)
documentation of the mortgages in the Trusts, with certain
exceptions. (See the Settlement Agreement for a complete
description of the releases provided for therein.)
Any Certificateholder or other person potentially interested in
the Trusts may object to any aspect of the Settlement and request
to be heard at the hearing by submitting a written notice prior to
the hearing in the manner explained in the Court’s Order dated June
29, 2011 (the “Preliminary Order”). The Court has directed that any
objections to the Settlement must be filed with the Court and
served upon the Trustee’s counsel by August 30, 2011, and that any
(i) responses to objections, or (ii) submissions in favor of or
with respect to the Settlement, must be filed and served by October
31, 2011. (Further information regarding the methodology for filing
and serving papers is contained in the Preliminary Order and
available as explained below.) If the Court approves the
Settlement, all Certificateholders will be bound by the Settlement
and the releases contained in the Settlement Agreement whether or
not they appeared in the matter or submitted any objection to the
Settlement. The Court has ordered that anyone who fails to object
in the manner described in the Preliminary Order shall be deemed to
have waived the right to object (including any right of appeal) and
shall be forever barred from raising such objection before the
Court or in any other action or proceeding, unless the Court orders
otherwise. The Court has ordered that it retains jurisdiction over
the Trustee, the Trusts and all Certificateholders (and their
successors-in-interests, assigns or transferees, whether past,
present or future) for all matters related to the Settlement and
the special proceeding commenced by the Trustee seeking approval of
the Settlement.
This Notice summarizes the special proceeding and the Settlement
and is not a complete statement of the special proceeding or the
Settlement. The Verified Petition, any papers filed in support of
the Verified Petition, any orders entered by the Court in the
special proceeding and other information relevant to the special
proceeding are available at
