EXPLANATORY NOTES

The One Court Square Mortgage Loan and the Yosemite Resorts Mortgage Loan, which constituted approximately 9.8% and 8.1%, respectively, of the asset pool of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date, are each an asset of the issuing entity and are each part of a loan combination that includes (a) with respect to the One Court Square Mortgage Loan which is an asset of the issuing entity and three other pari passu loans, which are not assets of the issuing entity or (b) with respect to the Yosemite Resorts 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. These loan combinations, including the One Court Square Mortgage Loan and Yosemite Resorts Mortgage Loan, are 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.

The other pari passu portion of the loan combination was securitized in the Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2015-NXS2 transaction, Commission File Number 333-195164-10 (the “WFCMT 2015-NXS2 Transaction”).

The other pari passu portion of the loan combination was securitized in the Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2015-P1 transaction, Commission File Number 333-189017-10 (the “CGCMT 2015-P1 Transaction”). This loan combination, including the Hilton Nashville Mortgage Loan, is being serviced and administered pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement for the CGCMT 2015-P1 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 CGCMT 2015-P1 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 CGCMT 2015-P1 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.

The Exhibit Index describes exhibits provided by certain parties (in their capacities indicated on the Exhibit Index) with respect to the 11 Madison Avenue Mortgage Loan, which constituted approximately 4.3% of the asset pool of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date.  The 11 Madison Avenue Mortgage Loan is an asset of the issuing entity and is part of a loan combination that includes the 11 Madison Avenue Mortgage Loan and fifteen other pari passu loans and three subordinate companion loans, which are not assets of the issuing entity. A pari passu portion of the loan combination was securitized in the MAD 2015-11MD Mortgage Trust transaction (the “MAD 2015-11MD Transaction”). This loan combination, including the 11 Madison Avenue Mortgage Loan, is being serviced and administered pursuant to the trust and servicing agreement for the MAD 2015-11MD Transaction, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.4 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  KeyBank National Association, as the master servicer under the trust and servicing agreement for the MAD 2015-11MD Transaction, is also the primary servicer of this loan combination.  The responsibilities of KeyBank National Association, as primary servicer of this loan combination, are subsumed within its responsibilities as master servicer under the trust and servicing agreement for the MAD 2015-11MD Transaction.

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the master servicer and certificate administrator of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the primary servicer of the Hilton Nashville Mortgage Loan, the certificate administrator of the 11 Madison Avenue Mortgage Loan and the primary servicer and certificate administrator of the Cooper's Crossing 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.

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the custodian of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Hilton Nashville Mortgage Loan, the 11 Madison Avenue Mortgage Loan and the Cooper's Crossing Mortgage Loan.  As a result, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is a servicing function participant in the capacities described above, because it is servicing mortgage loans that constituted 5% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and accountants’ attestation reports delivered by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

LNR Partners, LLC is the Special Servicer of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the special servicer of the Hilton Nashville Mortgage Loan. As a result, LNR Partners, LLC 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 LNR Partners, LLC in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

National Cooperative Bank, N.A. is one of the sponsors. Therefore, the Depositor included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K a servicer compliance statement for National Cooperative Bank, N.A pursuant to Item 1123.  Because National Cooperative Bank, N.A is servicing less than 5% of the pool assets, an assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and an accountant’s attestation report pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB are not required by Regulation AB.  As the attestation made in the servicer compliance statement required by Item 1123 relates to a review of the servicing activities of National Cooperative Bank, N.A under the applicable servicing agreement, and that review was conducted in conjunction with the servicer’s preparation of its assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria, that assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and the accompanying accountant’s attestation report are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the sake of completeness.

Pentalpha Surveillance LLC is the trust advisor of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Cooper's Crossing Mortgage Loan.  As a result, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC is a servicing function participant in the capacities described above, because it is servicing mortgage loans that constituted 5% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and accountants’ attestation reports delivered by Pentalpha Surveillance LLC in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

Wilmington Trust, National Association acts as trustee of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the 11 Madison Avenue Mortgage Loan and the Cooper's Crossing Mortgage Loan.  Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the trust and servicing agreement for the MAD 2015-11MD Transaction and the pooling and servicing agreement for the WFCMT 2015-NXS2 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 mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the 11 Madison Avenue Mortgage Loan and the Cooper's Crossing Mortgage Loan have delivered one or more assessments of compliance with respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB.

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas acts as trustee of the Hilton Nashville Mortgage Loan.  Pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement for the CGCMT 2015-P1 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 Hilton Nashville 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 master servicer of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the primary servicer of the Hilton Nashville Mortgage Loan and the primary servicer of the Cooper's Crossing 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)).

Item 1112(b) of Regulation AB, Significant Obligor Financial Information.

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 Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator and custodian, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as certificate administrator:

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 Trustee under the pooling and servicing agreement for the CGCMT 2015-P1 Transaction.

On June 18, 2014, a civil action was filed against Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York by a group of investors in 48 private-label RMBS trusts for which Citibank allegedly serves or did serve as trustee, asserting claims for purported violations of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence based on Citibank’s alleged failure to perform its duties as trustee for the 48 RMBS trusts.  On November 24, 2014, plaintiffs sought leave to withdraw this action.  On the same day, a smaller subset of similar plaintiff investors in 27 private-label RMBS trusts for which Citibank allegedly serves or did serve as trustee, filed a new civil action against Citibank in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York asserting similar claims as the prior action filed in state court.  In January 2015, the court closed plaintiffs’ original state court action.  Citibank’s motion to dismiss the federal complaint was fully briefed as of May 13, 2015.  On September 8, 2015, the federal court dismissed all claims as to 24 of the 27 trusts and allowed certain of the claims to proceed as to the other three trusts. That case, involving the three remaining trusts, is pending.

On November 24, 2015, the same investors that brought the federal case brought a new civil action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York related to 25 private-label RMBS trusts for which Citibank allegedly serves or did serve as trustee.  This case includes the 24 trusts previously dismissed in the federal action, and one additional trust.  The investors assert claims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty to avoid conflicts of interest, and violation of New York’s Streit Act.  Citibank filed a motion to dismiss this case on February 26, 2016.

On August 19, 2015, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as Receiver for a financial institution filed a civil action against Citibank in the Southern District of New York.  This action relates to one private-label RMBS trust for which Citibank formerly served as trustee.  FDIC asserts claims for breach of contract, violation of the Streit Act, and violation of the Trust Indenture Act. Citibank is jointly briefing a motion to dismiss with The Bank of New York Mellon and U.S. Bank, entities that have also been sued by FDIC in their capacity as trustee, and whose cases are all in front of Judge Carter.

There can be no assurances as to the outcome of litigation or the possible impact of litigation on the trustee or the RMBS trusts.  However, Citibank denies liability and continues to vigorously defend against these litigations.  Furthermore, neither the above-disclosed litigations nor any other pending legal proceeding involving Citibank will materially affect Citibank’s ability to perform its duties as Certificate Administrator under the pooling and servicing agreement for the CGCMT 2015-P1 Transaction.
