EXPLANATORY NOTES

 

The Pacific Design Center Mortgage Loan, which constituted approximately 9.5% of the asset pool of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date, is an asset of the issuing entity and is part of a loan combination that includes the Pacific Design Center Mortgage Loan which is an asset of the issuing entity and one other *pari passu* loan, which is not an asset of the issuing entity. This loan combination, including the Pacific Design Center Mortgage Loan, is being serviced and administered pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. KeyBank National Association, as the master servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is also the primary servicer of the loan combination. The responsibilities of KeyBank National Association, as primary servicer of the loan combination, are subsumed within its responsibilities as master servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Thus, the servicer compliance statement provided by KeyBank National Association, as master servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, encompasses its roles as both master servicer and primary servicer with respect to the loan combination.

 

The Exhibit Index describes exhibits provided by certain parties (in their capacities indicated on the Exhibit Index) with respect to the Bronx Terminal Market Mortgage Loan, which constituted approximately 13.5% of the asset pool of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The Bronx Terminal Market Mortgage Loan is an asset of the issuing entity and is part of a loan combination that includes the Bronx Terminal Market Mortgage Loan and two other *pari passu* loans, which are not assets of the issuing entity. A *pari passu* portion of the loan combination was securitized in the COMM 2014-CCRE17 Mortgage Trust transaction, Commission File Number 333-193376-05 (the “COMM 2014-CCRE17 Transaction”). This loan combination, including the Bronx Terminal Market Mortgage Loan, is being serviced and administered pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement for the COMM 2014-CCRE17 Transaction, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as the master servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement for the COMM 2014-CCRE17 Transaction, is also the primary servicer of this loan combination. The responsibilities of Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as primary servicer of this loan combination, are subsumed within its responsibilities as master servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement for the COMM 2014-CCRE17 Transaction. Thus, the servicer compliance statement provided by Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer under such pooling and servicing agreement, encompasses its roles as both master servicer and primary servicer with respect to this loan combination.

 

The Exhibit Index describes exhibits provided by certain parties (in their capacities indicated on the Exhibit Index) with respect to the Southfield Town Center Mortgage Loan, which constituted approximately 6.2% of the asset pool of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The Southfield Town Center Mortgage Loan is an asset of the issuing entity and is part of a loan combination that includes the Southfield Town Center Mortgage Loan and one other *pari passu* loan, which is not an asset of the issuing entity. The other *pari passu* portion of the loan combination was securitized in the COMM 2014-UBS3 Mortgage Trust transaction, Commission File Number 333-193376-06 (the “COMM 2014-UBS3 Transaction”). This loan combination, including the Southfield Town Center Mortgage Loan, is being serviced and administered pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement for the COMM 2014-UBS3 Transaction, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.3 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the master servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement for the COMM 2014-UBS3 Transaction, is also the primary servicer of this loan combination. The responsibilities of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as primary servicer of this loan combination, are subsumed within its responsibilities as master servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement for the COMM 2014-UBS3 Transaction. Thus, the servicer compliance statement provided by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer under such pooling and servicing agreement, encompasses its roles as both master servicer and primary servicer with respect to this loan combination.

 

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the certificate administrator of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the primary servicer and certificate administrator of the Southfield Town Center Mortgage Loan. As a result, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is a “servicer” as defined in Item 1108(a)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, in the capacities described above, because it is servicing mortgage loans that constituted 10% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria, accountants’ attestation reports and servicer compliance statements delivered by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

 

U.S. Bank National Association acts as trustee of the Bronx Terminal Market Mortgage Loan and the Southfield Town Center Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement for the COMM 2014-CCRE17 Transaction and the pooling and servicing agreement for the COMM 2014-UBS3 Transaction, the trustee is required to provide an assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria solely with respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB (regarding advances of funds or guarantees regarding collections, cash flows or distributions, and any interest or other fees charged for such advances, are made, reviewed and approved as specified in the transaction agreements). However, the trustee is not required to deliver such assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria with respect to any reporting period during which there were no servicing criteria applicable to the trustee, as was the case during the reporting period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As a result, this Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria of the trustee. One or more other servicers of the Bronx Terminal Market Mortgage Loan and the Southfield Town Center Mortgage Loan have delivered one or more assessments of compliance with respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB.

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and accountants’ attestation reports from CoreLogic Commercial Real Estate Services, Inc. and National Tax Search, LLC. These entities were engaged by the primary servicer of the Southfield Town Center Mortgage Loan to remit tax payments received from the escrow accounts of borrowers to local taxing authorities, to report tax amounts due, to verify tax parcel information, and to verify non-escrow tax payments. These services are included within the servicing criteria set forth in Items 1122(d)(4)(xi) and 1122(d)(4)(xii). Therefore, under the principles-based definition of “servicer” set forth in Item 1101(j) that looks to the functions that an entity performs, these vendors are “servicers” for the purposes of Item 1122. *See* Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, Section 301.01 (Item 1101(j)).

In accordance with Item 1112(b) of Regulation AB, the most recent unaudited net operating income of the significant obligor was $30,307,556.00 for the twelve- month period ended December 31, 2015.

Item 1115(b) of Regulation AB, Certain Derivatives Instruments (Financial Information).

 

No entity or group of affiliated entities provides any derivative instruments or other support for the certificates within this transaction as described under Item 1115 of Regulation AB.

 

Item 1117 of Regulation AB, Legal Proceedings.

 

The registrant knows of no material pending legal proceeding involving the trust or any party related to the trust, other than routine litigation incidental to the duties of those respective parties, and the following, with respect to KeyBank National Association, as master servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, certificate administrator and custodian, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as certificate administrator and custodian,  and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee:

 

On February 23, 2016, a certificateholder of the J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust, Series 2007-CIBC18 (the “Trust”), filed suit in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York, against KeyBank National Association and Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC (collectively, the “Servicers”).  The suit was filed derivatively on behalf of the Trust.  The action was brought in connection with the Servicers’ determination of the fair value of a loan, secured by the Bryant Park Hotel in New York City, held by the Trust and sold to an assignee of the Trust’s directing certificateholder, pursuant to an exercise of the fair value option.  There can be no assurances as to the outcome of the action or the possible impact of the litigation on the Servicers.  Both Servicers deny liability, believe that they performed their obligations in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the Trust, and intend to contest the claims asserted against them.

 

On June 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors filed a civil complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in its capacity as trustee under 276 residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts, which was later amended on July 18, 2014, to increase the number of trusts to 284 RMBS trusts.  On November 24, 2014, the plaintiffs filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss the state court action without prejudice.  That same day, a group of institutional investors filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”) against Wells Fargo Bank, alleging claims against the bank in its capacity as trustee for 274 RMBS trusts (the “Complaint”). In December 2014, the plaintiffs’ motion to voluntarily dismiss their original state court action was granted.  As with the prior state court action, the Complaint is one of six similar complaints filed contemporaneously against RMBS trustees (Deutsche Bank, Citibank, HSBC, Bank of New York Mellon and US Bank) by a group of institutional investor plaintiffs.  The Complaint against Wells Fargo Bank alleges that the trustee caused losses to investors and asserts causes of action based upon, among other things, the trustee's alleged failure to (i) enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties, (ii) notify investors of alleged events of default purportedly caused by breaches by mortgage loan servicers, and (iii) abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Relief sought includes money damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement of expenses, and equitable relief.  Other cases (collectively, the “Additional Complaints”) alleging similar causes of action have been filed against Wells Fargo Bank and other trustees in the same court by RMBS investors in these and other transactions, and these cases have been consolidated before the same judge. On January 19, 2016, an order was entered in connection with the Complaint in which the District Court declined to exercise jurisdiction over 261 trusts at issue in the Complaint; the District Court also allowed Plaintiffs to file amended complaints if they so chose, and three amended complaints have been filed. There can be no assurances as to the outcome of the litigation, or the possible impact of the litigation on the trustee or the RMBS trusts. However, Wells Fargo Bank denies liability and believes that it has performed its obligations under the RMBS trusts in good faith, that its actions were not the cause of any losses to investors, and that it has meritorious defenses, and it intends to contest the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously.

 

On June 18, 2014, a group of investors, including funds managed by Blackrock Advisors, LLC, PIMCO-Advisors, L.P., and others, filed a derivative action against Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (“DBTCA”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (“DBNTC”)  in New York State Supreme Court purportedly on behalf of and for the benefit of 544 private-label RMBS trusts asserting claims for alleged violations of the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (TIA), breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence based on DBNTC and DBTCA’s alleged failure to perform their duties as trustees for the trusts. Plaintiffs subsequently dismissed their state court complaint and filed a derivative and class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of and for the benefit of 564 private-label RMBS trusts, which substantially overlapped with the trusts at issue in the state court action. The complaint alleges that the trusts at issue have suffered total realized collateral losses of U.S. $89.4 billion, but the complaint does not include a demand for money damages in a sum certain. DBNTC and DBTCA filed a motion to dismiss, and on January 19, 2016, the court partially granted the motion on procedural grounds: as to the 500 trusts that are governed by Pooling and Servicing Agreements, the court declined to exercise jurisdiction. The court did not rule on substantive defenses asserted in the motion to dismiss as to the 64 trusts formed under indentures for which it retained jurisdiction.  Instead, the court ordered plaintiffs to file an amended complaint as to those indenture trusts. On February 23, 2016, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint as to 62 of the 64 indenture trusts included in the original U.S. District Court complaint. DBNTC and DBTCA will have an opportunity to file new defensive motions with respect to this amended complaint. It is anticipated that plaintiffs will, in the near future, file a new state court complaint as to some or all of the 500 trusts governed by Pooling and Servicing Agreements which were dismissed from the U.S. District Court action.  

 

On December 30, 2015, IKB International, S.A. and IKB Deutsche Industriebank A.G. filed a Summons With Notice in New York state court naming as defendants DBNTC and DBTCA, as trustees of 37 RMBS trusts (the “IKB Action”).  The claims in the IKB Action appear to be substantively similar to the SDNY Action.  The IKB Action is not styled as a putative class action, but may attempt to bring derivative claims on behalf of the named RMBS Trusts.  DBTCA intends to vigorously defend the IKB Action.

 

DBTCA has no pending legal proceedings (including, based on DBTCA's present evaluation, the litigation disclosed in the foregoing paragraphs) that would materially affect its ability to perform its duties as Certificate Administrator and Custodian under the pooling and servicing agreement for the COMM 2014-CCRE17 Transaction.

 

Since 2014 various plaintiffs or groups of plaintiffs, primarily investors, have filed claims against U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”), in its capacity as trustee or successor trustee (as the case may be) under certain residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts. The plaintiffs or plaintiff groups have filed substantially similar complaints against other RMBS trustees, including Deutsche Bank, Citibank, HSBC, Bank of New York Mellon and Wells Fargo. The complaints against U.S. Bank allege the trustee caused losses to investors as a result of alleged failures by the sponsors, mortgage loan sellers and servicers for these RMBS trusts and assert causes of action based upon the trustee's purported failure to enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for alleged breaches of representations and warranties concerning loan quality. The complaints also assert that the trustee failed to notify securityholders of purported events of default allegedly caused by breaches of servicing standards by mortgage loan servicers and that the trustee purportedly failed to abide by a heightened standard of care following alleged events of default.

 

Currently U.S. Bank is a defendant in multiple actions alleging individual or class action claims against the trustee with respect to multiple trusts as described above with the most substantial case being: *BlackRock Balanced Capital Portfolio et al v. U.S. Bank National Association*, No. 605204/2015 (N.Y. Sup. Ct.) (class action alleging claims with respect to approximately 794 trusts) and its companion case *BlackRock Core Bond Portfolio et al v. U.S Bank National Association*, No. 14-cv-9401 (S.D.N.Y.). Some of the trusts implicated in the aforementioned Blackrock cases, as well as other trusts, are involved in actions brought by separate groups of plaintiffs related to no more than 100 trusts per case.

 

There can be no assurance as to the outcome of any of the litigation, or the possible impact of these litigations on the trustee or the RMBS trusts. However, U.S. Bank denies liability and believes that it has performed its obligations under the RMBS trusts in good faith, that its actions were not the cause of losses to investors and that it has meritorious defenses, and it intends to contest the plaintiffs’ claims vigorously.
