**EXPLANATORY NOTES**

 

The purpose of thisAmendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedDecember 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission onMarch 27, 2023 (the “Original Form 10-K”), is to file a replacement report onassessment of compliance with servicing criteria and corresponding attestationreport provided by Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC, which replacement reportsmore specifically relate to Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC’s primary servicingplatform. Such revised documents replace the corresponding documents previouslyfiled as Exhibits 33.8 and 34.8 to the Original Form 10-K. No other changeshave been made to the Original Form 10-K. This Amendment No. 1 does not reflectsubsequent events occurring after the original filing date of the Original Form10-K.

 

The MSBAM 2015-C21mortgage 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 Discovery Business Center mortgage loan, which is serviced pursuant tothe MSBAM 2015-C20 pooling and servicing agreement attached hereto as Exhibit4.2.

 

Except as set forthbelow, each of the parties to each pooling and servicing agreement listed inthe Exhibit Index both (1) participates in the servicing function for purposesof Item 1122 of Regulation AB and (2) constitutes a servicer that meets thecriteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i) through (iii) of Regulation AB for purposes ofItem 1123 of Regulation AB:

 

• The trustee under apooling and servicing agreement has a nominal role with respect to the mortgagepool securitized pursuant to such pooling and servicing agreement. Thetrustee’s only servicing function is the contingent obligation to make certainadvances if the master servicer under such pooling and servicing agreementfails to do so, while all other servicing functions are performed by otherparties. The trustee under each of the pooling and servicing agreements listedin the Exhibit Index has confirmed to the registrant that it has not made anysuch contingent advances during the reporting period, and consequently, eachsuch trustee does not participate in the servicing function for purposes ofItem 1122 of Regulation AB, nor does it perform the functions of a servicer forpurposes of the definition of “servicer” under Item 1101 of Regulation AB orfor purposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB.

 

• The certificateadministrator under a pooling and servicing agreement performs various paymentadministration functions solely for the securitization governed by such poolingand servicing agreement and the mortgage pool securitized pursuant to suchpooling and servicing agreement and does not have any obligations with respectto any other transaction. Consequently, the certificate administrator under anOutside Pooling and Servicing Agreement does not participate in the servicingfunction for purposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, nor does it perform thefunctions of a servicer for purposes of the definition of “servicer” under Item1101 of Regulation AB or for purposes of Item 1123 of Regulation AB.

 

• The operating advisorunder a pooling and servicing agreement represents the interests of seniorcertificateholders in the transaction governed by such pooling and servicingagreement and is responsible for monitoring the performance of the specialservicer under such pooling and servicing agreement and producing certainreports to certificateholders relating to the resolution of the mortgage poolsecuritized pursuant to such pooling and servicing agreement. The operatingadvisor under a pooling and servicing agreement does not have any obligationswith respect to any other transaction and is solely obligated to perform loanreporting functions with respect to the securitization governed by such poolingand servicing agreement.  Consequently, the operating advisor under anOutside Pooling and Servicing Agreement neither participates in the servicingfunction for purposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB nor performs 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. 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.

 

• Midland LoanServices, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association is the master servicerunder the MSBAM 2015-C20 pooling and servicing agreement, pursuant to which theDiscovery Business Center mortgage loan is serviced. Because Midland LoanServices is not the MSBAM 2015-C21 master servicer, is not affiliated with anysponsor and services only the Discovery Business Center mortgage loan, whichconstitutes more than 5% but less than 10% of the mortgage pool, Midland LoanServices, as MSBAM 2015-C20 master servicer 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 theInstruction to Item 1123.

 

• Rialto CapitalAdvisors, LLC is the current special servicer under the MSBAM 2015-C20 poolingand servicing agreement. In July 2018, CWCapital Asset Management LLC wasreplaced as special servicer under the MSBAM 2015-C20 pooling and servicingagreement and was succeeded by Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC. The DiscoveryBusiness Center mortgage loan is serviced pursuant to the MSBAM 2015-C20pooling and servicing agreement. Because Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC is notthe MSBAM 2015-C21 special servicer, is not affiliated with any sponsor andservices only the Discovery Business Center mortgage loan, which constitutesmore than 5% but less than 10% of the mortgage pool, Rialto Capital Advisors,LLC, as MSBAM 2015-C20 special servicer 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 Instruction toItem 1123.

 

• Mount Street US(Georgia) LLP is the current special servicer under the MSBAM 2015-C21 poolingand servicing agreement. On August 16, 2021, LNR Partners, LLC and CWCapitalAsset Management LLC were replaced as general special servicer and excludedmortgage loan special servicer, respectively, under the MSBAM 2015-C21 poolingand servicing agreement, and were succeeded by Mount Street US (Georgia) LLP.LNR Partners, LLC remains the special servicer under the MSBAM 2015-C21 poolingand servicing agreement solely with respect to the 555 11th Street NW mortgageloan. 

 

In addition, each ofthe following parties engaged the services of certain servicing function participantsand sub-servicers for the reporting period, as set forth below:•KeyBank National Association, as master servicer, engaged the services ofBerkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC, as a sub-servicer in respect of the entiremortgage pool for the reporting period.

 

•KeyBank National Association, as master servicer, engaged theservices of Trimont Real Estate Advisors, Inc., as a sub-servicer in respect of11.64% of the mortgage pool and NorthMarq Capital, LLC, as a servicing functionparticipant in respect of 6.25% of the pool for the reporting period.

 

•On November 1, 2021, pursuant to the second amended and restatedservicing agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 99.7, 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.

 

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 Courtordered discovery. All fact discovery was completed in December, 2018 andexpert discovery was completed on March 15, 2019. The parties submitted crossmotions for summary judgment, and on March 19, 2020, the SDNY Court entered anopinion and order in which it granted summary judgment in CWCAM’s favor andheld that CWCAM was entitled to the entire amount of penalty interest and thatCWCAM’s determination of Yield Maintenance was correct. In the 127-pageopinion, the SDNY Court found for CWCAM on every issue presented by thetrustee’s petition, namely, that the funds in dispute constitute penaltyinterest and yield maintenance, not gain-on-sale proceeds, and that the amountof penalty interest and yield maintenance was correctly calculated. An appealof the SDNY Court’s decision was taken on April 29, 2020. Oral argument on theappeal occurred on June 21, 2021. On July 14, 2022, the Second Circuit entereda decision affirming in part and reversing in part the SDNY Court’s decisionand remanding to the SDNY Court for further proceedings. The Second Circuitaffirmed the SDNY’s Court holding that Penalty Interest and Yield Maintenanceare paid before Gain-On-Sale Proceeds. The Second Circuit reversed and remandedfor further 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.

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.
