**EXPLANATORY NOTES**

 

The MSBAM2014-C19 mortgage pool includes the following mortgage loans, each of which is servicedpursuant to a separate pooling and servicing agreement (each, an “OutsidePooling and Servicing Agreement”):• the 300 North LaSalle mortgage loan, which is serviced pursuant to the MSBAM2014-C18 pooling and servicing agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2.

 

Except asset forth below, each of the parties to each pooling and servicing agreementlisted in the Exhibit Index both (1) participates in the servicing function forpurposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB and (2) constitutes a servicer thatmeets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) of Regulation AB forpurposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB:

 

• Thetrustee under a pooling and servicing agreement has a nominal role with respectto the mortgage pool securitized pursuant to such pooling and servicingagreement. The trustee’s only servicing function is the contingent obligationto make certain advances if the master servicer under such pooling andservicing agreement fails to do so, while all other servicing functions areperformed by other parties. The trustee under each of the pooling and servicingagreements listed in the Exhibit Index has confirmed to the registrant that ithas not made any such contingent advances during the reporting period, andconsequently, each such trustee 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.

 

• Thecertificate administrator under a pooling and servicing agreement performsvarious payment administration functions solely for the securitization governedby such pooling and servicing agreement and the mortgage pool securitizedpursuant to such pooling and servicing agreement and does not have anyobligations with respect to any other transaction. Consequently, thecertificate administrator under an Outside Pooling and Servicing Agreement doesnot participate in the servicing function for purposes of Item 1122 ofRegulation AB, nor does it perform the functions of a servicer for purposes ofthe definition of “servicer” under Item 1101 of Regulation AB or for purposesof Item 1123 of Regulation AB.

 

• Theoperating advisor under a pooling and servicing agreement represents theinterests of senior certificateholders in the transaction governed by suchpooling and servicing agreement and is responsible for monitoring theperformance of the special servicer under such pooling and servicing agreementand producing certain reports to certificateholders relating to the resolutionof the mortgage pool securitized pursuant to such pooling and servicingagreement. The operating advisor under a pooling and servicing agreement doesnot have any obligations with respect to any other transaction and is solelyobligated to perform loan reporting functions with respect to thesecuritization governed by such pooling and servicing agreement. Consequently, the operating advisor under an Outside Pooling and ServicingAgreement neither participates in the servicing function for purposes of Item1122 of Regulation AB nor performs the functions of a servicer for purposes ofthe definition of “servicer” under Item 1101 of Regulation AB or for purposesof Item 1123 of Regulation AB. In addition, while the operating advisor under apooling and servicing agreement has certain reporting obligations in respect ofthe related mortgage pool, it has no obligation to collect or disburse funds inrespect of the mortgage pool or to administer any of the underlying mortgageloans.  Consequently, the operating advisor under a pooling and servicingagreement participates in the servicing function for purposes of Item 1122 ofRegulation AB, but is not responsible for the “management or collection of thepool assets or making allocations or distributions to holders of theasset-backed securities” within the meaning of “servicer” under Item 1101 ofRegulation AB and does not perform the functions of a servicer for purposes ofItem 1123 of Regulation AB.

 

• RialtoCapital Advisors, LLC is the current special servicer under the MSBAM 2014-C19pooling and servicing agreement. In July 2018, CWCapital Asset Management LLCwas replaced as special servicer under the MSBAM 2014-C19 pooling and servicingagreement and was succeeded by Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC. CWCapital AssetManagement LLC remains the special servicer under the MSBAM 2014-C19 poolingand servicing agreement solely with respect to the Linc LIC mortgage loan.Because CWCapital Asset Management LLC is not the MSBAM 2014-C19 specialservicer, is not affiliated with any sponsor and services only the Linc LICmortgage loan, which constitutes more than 5% but less than 10% of the mortgagepool, CWCapital Asset Management LLC constitutes a reporting “servicingfunction participant” for purposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, as specifiedin the Instruction 3 to Item 1122, but does not constitute a reporting“servicer” for purposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB, as specified in the Instructionto Item 1123.

 

In addition, each of the following parties engaged the services ofcertain servicing function participants and sub-servicers for the reportingperiod, as set forth below:• Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, engaged theservices of CoreLogic Solutions, LLC as a servicing function participant inrespect of the entire mortgage pool for the reporting period.• Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer under the MSBAM2014-C18 pooling and servicing agreement, pursuant to which the 300 NorthLaSalle mortgage loan is serviced, engaged the services of CoreLogic Solutions,LLC as a servicing function participant in respect of the 300 North LaSallemortgage loan for the reporting period.

 

• On November 1, 2021, pursuant to the second amended and restatedservicing agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 99.4, Computershare TrustCompany, National Association was engaged to perform all or virtually all ofWells Fargo Bank, National Association’s roles as certificate administrator,custodian and trustee, as applicable, under (i) the pooling and servicingagreement and (ii) each Outside Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

InDecember 2014, Phoenix Light SF Limited (Phoenix Light) and certain relatedentities filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the SouthernDistrict of New York alleging claims against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in itscapacity as trustee for a number of residential mortgage-backed securities(RMBS) trusts. Complaints raising similar allegations have been filed byCommerzbank AG in the Southern District of New York and by IKB Internationaland IKB Deutsche Industriebank in New York state court. In each case, theplaintiffs allege that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee, caused losses toinvestors, and plaintiffs assert causes of action based upon, among otherthings, the trustee’s alleged failure to notify and enforce repurchaseobligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representationsand warranties, notify investors of alleged events of default, and abide byappropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. In July2022, the district court dismissed Phoenix Light’s claims and certain of theclaims asserted by Commerzbank AG, and subsequently entered judgment in eachcase in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. In August 2022, Phoenix Light andCommerzbank AG appealed the district court’s decision to the United StatesCourt of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. previouslysettled two class actions filed by institutional investors and an action filedby the National Credit Union Administration with similar allegations. Inaddition, Park Royal I LLC and Park Royal II LLC have filed substantiallysimilar lawsuits in New York state court alleging Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., astrustee, failed to take appropriate actions upon learning of defective mortgageloan documentation.

 

Inthe last several years, U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) and otherlarge financial institutions have been sued in their capacity as trustee orsuccessor trustee for certain residential mortgage backed securities("RMBS") trusts.  The complaints, primarily filed by investorsor investor groups against U.S. Bank and similar institutions, allege thetrustees caused losses to investors as a result of alleged failures by thesponsors, mortgage loan sellers and servicers to comply with the governingagreements for these RMBS trusts.  Plaintiffs generally assert causes ofaction based upon the trustees’ purported failures to enforce repurchaseobligations of mortgage loan sellers for alleged breaches of representationsand warranties, notify securityholders of purported events of default allegedlycaused by breaches of servicing standards by mortgage loan servicers and abideby a heightened standard of care following alleged events of default.  

 

U.S.Bank denies liability and believes that it has performed its obligations underthe RMBS trusts in good faith, that its actions were not the cause of losses toinvestors, that it has meritorious defenses, and it has contested and intends tocontinue contesting the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously.  However, U.S. Bankcannot assure you as to the outcome of any of the litigation, or the possibleimpact of these litigations on the trustee or the RMBS trusts.

 

OnMarch 9, 2018, a law firm purporting to represent fifteen Delaware statutorytrusts (the “DSTs”) that issued securities backed by student loans (the“Student Loans”) filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against U.S.Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) in its capacities as indenture trusteeand successor special servicer, and three other institutions in theirrespective transaction capacities, with respect to the DSTs and the StudentLoans.  This lawsuit is captioned The National Collegiate Student LoanMaster Trust I, et al. v. U.S. Bank National Association, et al., C.A. No.2018-0167-JRS (Del. Ch.) (the “NCMSLT Action”).  The complaint, as amendedon June 15, 2018, alleged that the DSTs have been harmed as a result ofpurported misconduct or omissions by the defendants concerning administrationof the trusts and special servicing of the Student Loans.  Since thefiling of the NCMSLT Action, certain Student Loan borrowers have madeassertions against U.S. Bank concerning special servicing that appear to bebased on certain allegations made on behalf of the DSTs in the NCMSLT Action.

 

U.S.Bank believes that it has performed its obligations as indenture trustee andspecial servicer in good faith and in compliance in all material respects withthe terms of the agreements governing the DSTs (the “Governing Agreements”),and accordingly that the claims against it in the NCMSLT Action are withoutmerit.  

 

U.S.Bank has filed a motion seeking dismissal of the operative complaint in itsentirety with prejudice pursuant to Chancery Court Rules 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6)or, in the alternative, a stay of the case while other prior filed disputesinvolving the DSTs and the Student Loans are litigated.  On November 7,2018, the Court ruled that the case should be stayed in its entirety pendingresolution of the first-filed cases.  On January 21, 2020, the Courtentered an order consolidating for pretrial purposes the NCMSLT Action andthree other lawsuits pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery concerning theDSTs and the Student Loans (the “Consolidated Action”).  U.S. Bank andother parties to the Consolidated Action have briefed and argued motions forjudgment on the pleadings pursuant to Chancery Court Rule 12(c) regardingdisputed issues of contractual interpretation at issue in one or more of thecases comprising the Consolidated Action, including the NCMSLT Action. The Court has not yet ruled on these motions or on U.S. Bank’s dismissalmotion in the NCMSLT Action.

 

U.S.Bank intends to continue to defend the NCMSLT Action vigorously.

 

Fromtime to time, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, a Delaware limited liabilitycompany (“CWCAM”), is a party to lawsuits and other legal proceedings as partof its duties as a special servicer (e.g., enforcement of loan obligations)and/or arising in the ordinary course of business. Other than as set forth inthe following paragraphs, there are currently no legal proceedings pending, andno legal proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities,against CWCAM or of which any of its property is the subject, that are materialto the certificateholders.

 

OnDecember 17, 2015, U.S. Bank National Association, the trustee under fivepooling and servicing agreements for (i) Wachovia Bank Commercial MortgageTrust 2007-C30, (ii) COBALT CMBS Commercial Trust 2007-C2, (iii) Wachovia BankCommercial Mortgage Trust 2007-C31, (iv) ML-CFC Commercial Mortgage Trust2007-5 and (v) ML-CFC Commercial Mortgage Trust 2007-6 commenced a proceedingwith the Second Judicial District Court of Ramsey County, Minnesota (the “StateCourt”) for a declaratory judgment as to the proper allocation of certainproceeds (“Disputed Proceeds”) received by CWCAM in connection with the sale ofthe Peter Cooper Village and Stuyvesant Town property in New York, New Yorksecuring loans held by those trusts. CWCAM was the special servicer of suchproperty. The petition requests the State Court to instruct the trustee, thetrust beneficiaries, and any other interested parties as to the amount of theDisputed Proceeds, if any, that constitute penalty interest and/or the amountof the Disputed Proceeds, if any, that constitute gain-on-sale proceeds, withrespect to each trust. On February 24, 2016, CWCAM made a limited appearancewith the State Court to file a motion to dismiss this proceeding based on lackof jurisdiction, mootness, standing and forum non conveniens. On July 19, 2016,the State Court denied CWCAM’s motion to dismiss. On July 22, 2016, the actionwas removed to federal court in Minnesota (“Federal Court”). On October 21,2016, the Federal Court held a hearing on the motion to transfer the action tothe United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNYCourt”), a motion to remand to state court and a motion to hear CWCAM’s requestfor reconsideration of the motion to dismiss. On March 14, 2017, the FederalCourt reserved the determination on the motion to hear CWCAM’s request forreconsideration of the motion to dismiss, denied the motion to remand thematter to state court and granted the motion to transfer the proceeding to theSDNY Court. Cross motions for judgment on the pleadings were filed but the SDNYCourt was unable to decide the case based on the pleadings and the SDNY Court ordereddiscovery. All fact discovery was completed in December, 2018 and expertdiscovery was completed on March 15, 2019. The parties submitted cross motionsfor summary judgment, and on March 19, 2020, the SDNY Court entered an opinionand order in which it granted summary judgment in CWCAM’s favor and held thatCWCAM was entitled to the entire amount of penalty interest and that CWCAM’sdetermination of Yield Maintenance was correct. In the 127-page opinion, theSDNY Court found for CWCAM on every issue presented by the trustee’s petition,namely, that the funds in dispute constitute penalty interest and yieldmaintenance, not gain-on-sale proceeds, and that the amount of penalty interestand yield maintenance was correctly calculated. An appeal of the SDNY Court’sdecision was taken on April 29, 2020. Oral argument on the appeal occurred onJune 21, 2021. On July 14, 2022, the Second Circuit entered a decisionaffirming in part and reversing in part the SDNY Court’s decision and remandingto the SDNY Court for further proceedings. The Second Circuit affirmed theSDNY’s Court holding that Penalty Interest and Yield Maintenance are paidbefore Gain-On-Sale Proceeds. The Second Circuit reversed and remanded forfurther proceedings that portion of the SDNY Court’s decision related toapproximately $67.2 million in interest on advances. On January 13, 2023, theparties entered into a settlement agreement, in which (among other things) theyagreed to stipulate that the amount of interest on advances that accrued on orbefore June 3, 2014 is $27.5 million, and that CWCAM would pay that amount intoescrow for distribution to certificateholders upon the entry of an order by theCourt approving the settlement. U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee forthe trusts, provided notice of the settlement to all parties in interest via anotice program approved by the Court. A hearing on the settlement is scheduledfor March 16, 2023.

 

OnDecember 1, 2017, a complaint against CWCAM and others was filed in the UnitedStates District Court for the Southern District of New York styled as CWCapitalCobalt Vr Ltd. v. CWCapital Investments LLC, et al., No. 17-cv-9463 (the“Original Complaint”). The gravamen of the Original Complaint alleged breachesof a contract and fiduciary duties by CWCAM’s affiliate, CWCapital InvestmentsLLC in its capacity as collateral manager for the collateralized debtobligation transaction involving CWCapital Cobalt Vr, Ltd. In total, there are14 counts pled in the Original Complaint. Of those 14, 5 claims were assertedagainst CWCAM for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, conversion andunjust enrichment. On May 23, 2018, the Original Complaint was dismissed forlack of subject matter jurisdiction. On June 28, 2018, CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd.filed a substantially similar complaint in the Supreme Court of the State ofNew York, County of New York styled as CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd. v. CWCapitalInvestments LLC, et al., Index No. 653277/2018 (the “New Complaint”). Thegravamen of the New Complaint is the same as the previous complaint filed inthe United State District Court for the Southern District of New York. In totalthere are 16 counts pled in the New Complaint. Of those 16 counts, 5 claimswere asserted against CWCAM for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty,conversion and unjust enrichment, 1 count seeks a declaratory judgement thatthe plaintiff has the right to enforce the contracts in question and 1 countseeks an injunction requiring the defendants to recognize the plaintiff as thedirecting holder for the trusts in question. On January 11, 2019, the plaintiffdismissed with prejudice the declaratory judgment and injunction counts. TheNew Complaint and related summons was not served on the defendants until July13, 2018 and July 16, 2018. The plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunctionwas denied by the court on July 31, 2018. On August 3, 2018, the defendants,including CWCAM, filed a motion to dismiss the New Complaint in its entirety.On August 20, 2019, the court entered an order granting defendants’ motionalmost in its entirety, dismissing 11 of the 16 counts and partially dismissing2 additional counts. Of the remaining counts, 2 are asserted against CWCAM foraiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. OnSeptember 19, 2019, CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltd. filed a notice of appeal relatingto the August 20, 2019 dismissal order and on September 26, 2019, filed anamended complaint against CWCI and CWCAM attempting to address deficienciesrelating to certain of the claims dismissed by the August 20, 2019 order. CWCIand CWCAM filed its Motion to Dismiss the amended complaint on October 28,2019. The court heard argument on the Motion to Dismiss the amended complainton January 22, 2020 and on October 23, 2020, the court granted the motiondismissing the amended claims. On November 30, 2020, CWCapital Cobalt Vr Ltdfiled a notice of appeal relating to the October 23, 2020 dismissal order. OnApril 27, 2021, the First Department affirmed the dismissal as to claimsagainst CWCAM that were part of the August 20, 2019 dismissal, but reversed thedismissal of two counts for breach of the Collateral Management Agreementagainst CWCI. CWCI sought leave to file an appeal of the decision. Theplaintiff also sought leave to appeal the dismissal of the claims againstCWCAM. Both requests for leave were denied by the First Department. On May 15,2020, CWCI and CWCAM filed a motion to renew its motion to dismiss as to 4 ofthe remaining counts (including the remaining two counts against CWCAM foraiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment), based on adecision entered by Judge Failla in a trust instruction proceeding in the USDistrict Court for the Southern District of New York awarding summary judgmentin favor of CWCAM. On September 7, 2021, the court denied the motion to renew.CWCI and CWCAM filed a notice of appeal, which they perfected by the filing oftheir opening brief on July 1, 2022. On November 15, 2022, the First Departmentaffirmed the court’s denial of the motion to renew. On October 1, 2021, CWCIand CWCAM moved to reargue the denial of the motion to renew (or alternatively,the motion to dismiss) with respect to certain of Cobalt’s claims, includingthe remaining 2 claims against CWCAM, based on the First Department’s April 27,2021 decision. On March 24, 2022, the court denied the relief sought in themotion to reargue. CWCI and CWCAM have appealed the court’s decision on themotion to reargue and filed their opening brief on July 11, 2022. The appealwas dismissed as being nonappealable on August 30, 2022. CWCAM believes that ithas performed its obligations under the related pooling and servicingagreements in good faith and the remaining allegations in the New Complaint arewithout merit.
