**EXPLANATORY NOTES**

 

The MSBAM 2015-C23 mortgage pool includesthe following mortgage loans, each of which is serviced pursuant to a separatepooling and servicing agreement (each, an “Outside Pooling and ServicingAgreement”):• the TKG 3 Retail Portfolio mortgage loan, which is serviced pursuant to theMSC 2015-MS1 pooling and servicing agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 4.4;• the Hilton Garden Inn W 54th Street mortgage loan, which is serviced pursuantto the MSBAM 2015-C22 pooling and servicing agreement attached hereto as Exhibit4.2; and• the US StorageMart Portfolio mortgage loan, which is serviced pursuant to theCGBAM 2015-SMRT trust and servicing agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 4.3.

 

Except as set forth below, each of the partiesto each pooling and servicing agreement listed in the Exhibit Index both (1)participates in the servicing function for purposes of Item 1122 of RegulationAB and (2) constitutes a servicer that meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i)through (iii) of Regulation AB for purposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB:

 

• The trustee under a pooling and servicingagreement has a nominal role with respect to the mortgage pool securitized pursuantto such pooling and servicing agreement. The trustee’s only servicing functionis the contingent obligation to make certain advances if the master servicerunder such pooling and servicing agreement fails to do so, while all otherservicing functions are performed by other parties. The trustee under each ofthe pooling and servicing agreements listed in the Exhibit Index has confirmedto the registrant that it has not made any such contingent advances during thereporting period, and consequently, each such trustee does not participate inthe servicing function for purposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, nor does itperform the functions of a servicer for purposes of the definition of“servicer” under Item 1101 of Regulation AB or for purposes of Item 1123 ofRegulation AB.

 

• The certificate administrator under apooling and servicing agreement performs various payment administrationfunctions solely for the securitization governed by such pooling and servicingagreement and the mortgage pool securitized pursuant to such pooling andservicing agreement and does not have any obligations with respect to any othertransaction. Consequently, the certificate administrator under an OutsidePooling and Servicing Agreement does not participate in the servicing functionfor purposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, nor does it perform the functionsof a servicer for purposes of the definition of “servicer” under Item 1101 ofRegulation AB or for purposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB.

 

• The operating advisor under a pooling andservicing agreement represents the interests of senior certificateholders inthe transaction governed by such pooling and servicing agreement and isresponsible for monitoring the performance of the special servicer under suchpooling and servicing agreement and producing certain reports tocertificateholders relating to the resolution of the mortgage pool securitizedpursuant to such pooling and servicing agreement. The operating advisor under apooling and servicing agreement does not have any obligations with respect toany other transaction and is solely obligated to perform loan reportingfunctions with respect to the securitization governed by such pooling andservicing agreement. Consequently, the operating advisor under an OutsidePooling and Servicing Agreement neither participates in the servicing functionfor purposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB nor performs the functions of aservicer for purposes of the definition of “servicer” under Item 1101 ofRegulation AB or for purposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB. In addition, whilethe operating advisor under a pooling and servicing agreement has certainreporting obligations in respect of the related mortgage pool, it has noobligation to collect or disburse funds in respect of the mortgage pool or toadminister any of the underlying mortgage loans.  Consequently, theoperating advisor under a pooling and servicing agreement participates in theservicing function for purposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, but is notresponsible for the “management or collection of the pool assets or makingallocations or distributions to holders of the asset-backed securities” withinthe meaning of “servicer” under Item 1101 of Regulation AB and does not performthe functions of a servicer for purposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB.

 

• Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas isthe custodian under the CGBAM 2015-SMRT trust and servicing agreement, pursuantto which the US StorageMart Portfolio mortgage loan is serviced. BecauseDeutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is not the MSBAM 2015-C23 custodian, isnot affiliated with any sponsor and services only the US StorageMart Portfoliomortgage loan, which constitutes less than 5% of the mortgage pool, DeutscheBank Trust Company Americas, as CGBAM 2015-SMRT custodian, does not constitutea reporting “servicing function participant” for purposes of Item 1122 ofRegulation AB, as specified in the Instruction 3 to Item 1122, and does notconstitute a reporting “servicer” for purposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB,as specified in the Instruction to Item 1123.

 

In addition, each of the following partiesengaged the services of certain servicing function participants andsub-servicers for the reporting period, as set forth below:• Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer and excludedspecial servicer, engaged the services of (i) CoreLogic Commercial Real EstateServices, Inc. and National Tax Search, LLC, in each case as a servicingfunction participant in respect of the entire mortgage pool for the reportingperiod, and (ii) Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC, as servicing functionparticipant in respect of 5.5% of the mortgage pool for the reporting period.

 

• Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer underthe MSBAM 2015-C22 pooling and servicing agreement, pursuant to which theHilton Garden Inn W 54th Street mortgage loan is serviced, engaged the servicesof CoreLogic Commercial Real Estate Services, Inc. and National Tax Search,LLC, in each case as a servicing function participant in respect of the HiltonGarden Inn W 54th Street mortgage loan for the reporting period.

The registrant knows of nolegal proceeding pending against the sponsors, depositor, trustee, issuingentity, servicer contemplated by Item 1108(a)(3) of Regulation AB, originatorcontemplated by Item 1110(b) of Regulation AB, or other party contemplated byItem 1100(d)(1) of Regulation AB, or of which any property of the foregoing isthe subject, that is material to security holders, other than as disclosed inthe prospectus of the issuing entity filed in a 424(b)(5) filing dated June 18,2015, and other than as follows:

 

SinceJune 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors have filed civil complaintsin the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and later theU.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Wells FargoBank, N.A., (“Wells Fargo Bank”) in its capacity as trustee for certainresidential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts. The complaints againstWells Fargo Bank alleged that the trustee caused losses to investors andasserted causes of action based upon, among other things, the trustee's allegedfailure to: (i) notify and enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loansellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties, (ii) notifyinvestors of alleged events of default, and (iii) abide by appropriatestandards of care following alleged events of default. Relief sought includedmoney damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement of expenses, andequitable relief. Wells Fargo Bank has reached an agreement, in which it deniesany wrongdoing, to resolve these claims on a classwide basis for the 271 RMBS trustscurrently at issue. The settlement agreement is subject to court approval.Separate lawsuits against Wells Fargo Bank making similar allegations filed bycertain other institutional investors concerning 57 RMBS trusts in New Yorkfederal and state court are not covered by the agreement. With respect to theforegoing litigations, Wells Fargo Bank believes plaintiffs' claims are withoutmerit and intends to contest the claims vigorously, but there can be noassurances as to the outcome of the litigations or the possible impact of thelitigations on Wells Fargo Bank or the RMBS trusts.

 

Fromtime to time Berkadia and its affiliates are parties to lawsuits and otherlegal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Berkadia does notbelieve that any such lawsuits or legal proceedings would, individually or inthe aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business or its ability toserve as primary servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Berkadia disclosesthe following litigation: On February 23, 2016, a certificate holder of theJ.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Series 2007-CIBC18 (the“2007-CIBC18 Trust”), filed suit (the “Lawsuit”) in the Supreme Court of NewYork, County of New York, against KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), asspecial servicer, and Berkadia, as master servicer. The action was brought inconnection with the determinations by KeyBank and Berkadia of the fair value ofa loan secured by the Bryant Park Hotel in New York City. KeyBank and Berkadiadeny liability and believe that they performed their obligations in accordancewith the terms of the pooling and servicing agreement applicable to the2007-CIBC18 Trust. KeyBank’s and Berkadia’s motions to dismiss the Lawsuit weregranted with prejudice on November 28, 2016.
