As a result,Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is a “servicer” as defined in Item1108(a)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, in the capacities described above, because itis servicing mortgage loans that constituted 10% or more of the assets of theissuing entity as of its cut-off date.

Berkeley Point Capital LLC d/b/aNewmark Knight Frank is an affiliate of Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending,L.P., one of the sponsors.  Therefore, the Depositor included in thisAnnual Report on Form 10-K a servicer compliance statement for Berkeley PointCapital LLC d/b/a Newmark Knight Frank pursuant to Item 1123.  BecauseBerkeley Point Capital LLC d/b/a Newmark Knight Frank is servicing less than 5%of the pool assets, an assessment of compliance with applicable servicingcriteria and an accountants’ attestation report pursuant to Item 1122 ofRegulation AB are not required by Regulation AB.  As the attestation madein the servicer compliance statement required by Item 1123 relates to a reviewof the servicing activities of Berkeley Point Capital LLC d/b/a Newmark KnightFrank under the applicable servicing agreement, and that review was conductedin conjunction with the servicer’s preparation of its assessment of compliancewith applicable servicing criteria, that assessment of compliance withapplicable servicing criteria and the accompanying accountants’ attestationreport are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the sake ofcompleteness.

Deutsche Bank Trust CompanyAmericas is an affiliate of German American Capital Corporation, one of thesponsors.  Therefore, the Depositor included in this Annual Report on Form10-K a servicer compliance statement for Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americaspursuant to Item 1123.  Because Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas isservicing less than 5% of the pool assets, an assessment of compliance withapplicable servicing criteria and an accountants’ attestation report pursuantto Item 1122 of Regulation AB are not required by Regulation AB.  As theattestation made in the servicer compliance statement required by Item 1123relates to a review of the servicing activities of Deutsche Bank Trust CompanyAmericas under the applicable servicing agreement, and that review wasconducted in conjunction with the servicer’s preparation of its assessment ofcompliance with applicable servicing criteria, that assessment of compliancewith applicable servicing criteria and the accompanying accountants’attestation report are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the sakeof completeness.

Wilmington Trust, NationalAssociation acts as trustee of the mortgage loans serviced under the Poolingand Servicing Agreement, the Heartland Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan andthe 11 Madison Avenue Mortgage Loan.  Pursuant to the Pooling andServicing Agreement, the pooling and servicing agreement for the COMM2015-CCRE25 Transaction and the trust and servicing agreement for the MAD2015-11MD Transaction, the trustee is required to provide an assessment ofcompliance with applicable servicing criteria solely with respect to Item1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB (regarding advances of funds or guaranteesregarding collections, cash flows or distributions, and any interest or otherfees charged for such advances, are made, reviewed and approved as specified inthe transaction agreements). However, during the reporting period, the trusteedid not perform any servicing function with respect to the servicing criteriaspecified in Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB.  The master serviceror the special servicer, to the extent required, performed the servicingfunction identified with respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, andeach such party included Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB in theassessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and accountant’sattestation report for the subject transaction.  As a result, this AnnualReport on Form 10-K does not include an assessment of compliance withapplicable servicing criteria of the trustee. One or more other servicers ofthe mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the 11Madison Avenue Mortgage Loan and the Heartland Industrial Portfolio MortgageLoan have delivered one or more assessments of compliance with respect to Item1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB.

This Annual Report on Form 10-Kincludes assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria andaccountants’ attestation reports from CoreLogic Commercial Real EstateServices, Inc. and National Tax Search, LLC.

These servicing functions are included within the servicing criteriaset 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 inItem 1101(j) of Regulation AB that looks to the functions that an entityperforms, these vendors are “servicers” for the purposes of Item 1122 ofRegulation AB.  *See* Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations,Section 301.01 (Item 1101(j)).

With respect to the *pari passu*loan combinations that include the Heartland Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loanand the 11 Madison Avenue Mortgage Loan, (i) the reports on assessment ofcompliance with servicing criteria and attestation reports on assessment ofcompliance with servicing criteria of LNR Partners, LLC as special servicer ofthe Heartland Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan and Pentalpha Surveillance LLCas operating advisor of the Heartland Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan,listed on the Exhibit Index are omitted from this Annual Report on Form 10-K asthey are not required to be included on this Annual Report on Form 10-K perInstruction 3 to Item 1122 of Regulation AB because they are each a partyperforming activities that address servicing criteria relating to 5% or less ofthe assets of the issuing entity; and (ii) the servicer compliance statementsof LNR Partners, LLC as special servicer of the Heartland Industrial PortfolioMortgage Loan and KeyBank National Association, as primary servicer and specialservicer of the 11 Madison Avenue Mortgage Loan, listed on the Exhibit Indexare omitted from this Annual Report on Form 10-K as they are not required byItem 1123 of Regulation AB to be included on this Annual Report on Form 10-Kbecause they are each an unaffiliated party that is not a “servicer” that meetsthe criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) of Regulation AB.

**Item 1117 of Regulation AB, Legal Proceedings.**

The registrant knows of no material pending legal proceedinginvolving the trust or any party related to the trust, other than routinelitigation incidental to the duties of those respective parties, and the following,with respect to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificateadministrator and custodian, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, ascertificate administrator and custodian:

Since June 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors havefiled civil complaints in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New YorkCounty, and later the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New Yorkagainst Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., (“Wells Fargo Bank”) in its capacity as trusteefor certain residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts.  Thecomplaints against Wells Fargo Bank alleged that the trustee caused losses toinvestors and asserted causes of action based upon, among other things, thetrustee's alleged failure to: (i) notify and enforce repurchase obligations ofmortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties,(ii) notify investors of alleged events of default, and (iii) abide byappropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Reliefsought included money damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement ofexpenses, and equitable relief. Wells Fargo Bank has reached an agreement, inwhich it denies any wrongdoing, to resolve these claims on a classwide basisfor the 271 RMBS trusts currently at issue.  The settlement agreement issubject to court approval.  Separate lawsuits against Wells Fargo Bankmaking similar allegations filed by certain other institutional investorsconcerning 57 RMBS trusts in New York federal and state court are not coveredby the agreement.  With respect to the foregoing litigations, Wells FargoBank believes plaintiffs' claims are without merit and intends to contest theclaims vigorously, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome of thelitigations or the possible impact of the litigations on Wells Fargo Bank orthe RMBS trusts.

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“DBTCA”) and DeutscheBank National Trust Company (“DBNTC”) have been sued by investors in civillitigation concerning their role as trustees of certain RMBS trusts. 

On June 18, 2014, a group of investors, including fundsmanaged by Blackrock Advisors, LLC, PIMCO-Advisors, L.P., and others, filed anaction against DBNTC and DBTCA in New York State Supreme Court alleging thatDBNTC and DBTCA failed to perform purported duties, as trustees for 544private-label RMBS trusts, to enforce breaches of representations andwarranties as to mortgage loans held by the trusts and to enforce breaches byservicers of their mortgage loan servicing obligations for the trusts. During the course of the litigation, plaintiffs dismissed the case from NewYork State Supreme Court and refiled two separate cases, one in the U.S.District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “BlackRock SDNY Case”)and the other in the Superior Court of California, Orange County (the“BlackRock California Case”).  Pursuant to a settlement among the parties,the BlackRock SDNY Case was dismissed on December 6, 2018 and the BlackRockCalifornia Case was dismissed on January 11, 2019.

On September 27, 2017, DBTCA was added as a defendant to acase brought by certain special purpose entities including Phoenix Light SFLimited in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, inwhich the plaintiffs previously alleged incorrectly that DBNTC served astrustee for all 43 of the trusts at issue.  On September 27, 2017,plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint that names DBTCA as a defendant inaddition to DBNTC.  DBTCA serves as trustee for one of the 43 trusts atissue.  DBNTC serves as trustee for the other 42 trusts at issue. Plaintiffs’ third amended complaint brings claims for violation of the U.S.Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“TIA”); breach of contract; breach of fiduciaryduty; negligence and gross negligence; violation of New York’s Streit Act; andbreach of the covenant of good faith.  However, in the third amendedcomplaint, plaintiffs acknowledge that, before DBTCA was added to the case, thecourt dismissed plaintiffs’ TIA Act claims, negligence and gross negligenceclaims, Streit Act claims, claims for breach of the covenant of good faith, andcertain theories of plaintiffs’ breach of contract claims, and plaintiffs onlyinclude these claims to preserve any rights on appeal.  Plaintiffs allegedamages of “hundreds of millions of dollars.”  On November 13, 2017, DBNTCand DBTCA filed an answer to the third amended complaint.  On December 7,2018, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a motion for summary judgment.  Also onDecember 7, 2018, plaintiffs, jointly with Commerzbank AG (see description ofCommerzbank case below), filed a motion for partial summary judgment.

On November 30, 2017, DBTCA was added as a defendant to acase brought by Commerzbank AG (“Commerzbank”) in the U.S. District Court forthe Southern District of New York, in which Commerzbank previously allegedincorrectly that DBNTC served as trustee for all 50 of the trusts atissue.  On November 30, 2017, Commerzbank filed a second amended complaintthat names DBTCA as a defendant in addition to DBNTC.  DBTCA serves astrustee for 1 of the 50 trusts at issue.  DBNTC serves as trustee for theother 49 trusts at issue.  Commerzbank’s second amended complaint bringsclaims for violation of the TIA; breach of contract; breach of fiduciary duty;negligence; violation of the Streit Act; and breach of the covenant of goodfaith.  However, in the second amended complaint, Commerzbank acknowledgesthat, before DBTCA was added to the case, the court dismissed Commerzbank’s TIAclaims for the trusts governed by pooling and servicing agreements, as well asits Streit Act claims and claims for breach of the covenant of good faith, andCommerzbank only includes these claims to preserve any rights on appeal. The second amended complaint alleges that DBNTC and DBTCA caused Commerzbank tosuffer “hundreds of millions of dollars in losses,” but the complaint does notinclude a demand for money damages in a sum certain.  On January 29, 2018,DBNTC and DBTCA filed an answer to the second amended complaint.  OnDecember 7, 2018, DBNTC and DBTCA filed a motion for summary judgment. Also on December 7, 2018, Commerzbank, jointly with the Phoenix Lightplaintiffs, filed a motion for partial summary judgment.

On December 30, 2015, IKB International, S.A. in Liquidationand IKB Deutsche Industriebank A.G. (collectively, “IKB”), as an investor in 37RMBS trusts, filed a summons with notice in the Supreme Court of the State ofNew York, New York County, against DBNTC and DBTCA as trustees of thetrusts.  On May 27, 2016, IKB served its complaint asserting claims forbreach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty to avoid conflictsof interest, violation of the Streit Act, violation of the TIA, violation ofRegulation AB, and violation of Section 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. IKB alleges that DBNTC and DBTCA are liable for over U.S. $268 million indamages.  On October 5, 2016, DBNTC and DBTCA, together with several othertrustees defending lawsuits by IKB, filed a joint motion to dismiss.  OnJanuary 6, 2017 and June 20, 2017, IKB voluntarily dismissed with prejudice allclaims as to seven trusts.  As of March 1, 2019, DBNTC and DBTCA’s motionto dismiss has been briefed and is awaiting decision by the court.

It is DBTCA’s belief that it has no pending legal proceedings(including, based on DBTCA’s present evaluation, the litigation disclosed inthe foregoing paragraphs) that would materially affect its ability to performits duties under the related servicing agreement for this transaction.
