EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Boston Park Plaza Mortgage Loan, which constituted approximately 8.3% 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 Boston Park Plaza Mortgage Loan and one other pari passu loan, which is not an asset of the issuing entity. This loan combination, including the Boston Park Plaza 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.

The Exhibit Index describes exhibits provided by certain parties (in their capacities indicated on the Exhibit Index) with respect to the Chrysler East Building Mortgage Loan, which constituted approximately 8.8% of the asset pool of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The Chrysler East Building Mortgage Loan is an asset of the issuing entity and is part of a loan combination that includes the Chrysler East Building 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 MSBAM 2013-C7 Mortgage Trust transaction, Commission File Number 333-180779-02 (the "MSBAM 2013-C7 Transaction"). This loan combination, including the Chrysler East Building Mortgage Loan, is being serviced and administered pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement for the MSBAM 2013-C7 Transaction, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) is the trustee of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the certificate administrator of the Chrysler East Building Mortgage Loan.  These mortgage loans, in the aggregate, constituted more than 10% of the asset pool of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date.  Thus, U.S. Bank is a “servicer,” as defined in Item 1108(a)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, with respect to these mortgage loans.  The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria, accountants’ attestation reports and servicer compliance statements delivered by U.S. Bank in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

U.S. Bank acts as Trustee of the issuing entity and the Chrysler East Building Mortgage Loan. Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the pooling and servicing agreement relating to the MSBAM 2013-C7 Transaction, respectively, the Trustee is required to provide an assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria solely with respect to Items 1122(d)(1)(iv) (regarding a fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy covering each servicing function participant throughout the reporting period in the amount of coverage required by and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the transaction agreements) and 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 it was not required to make any advance under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, 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. The assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria of the Master Servicer covers Items 1122(d)(1)(iv) and 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 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 1117 of Regulation AB, Legal Proceedings.

The registrant knows of no material pending legal proceedings involving the Trust and all parties related to such Trust, other than routine litigation incidental to the duties of those respective parties with respect to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A, as certificate administrator:

In June 2014, a civil complaint was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, by a group of institutional investors 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 are investment funds formed by nine investment advisors (AEGON, BlackRock, Brookfield, DZ Bank, Kore, PIMCO, Prudential, Sealink and TIAA) that purport to be bringing suit derivatively on behalf of 841 RMBS trusts that issued $771 billion in original principal amount of securities between 2004 and 2008. According to the plaintiffs, cumulative losses for these RMBS trusts equal $92.4 billion as of the date of the complaint. The complaint is one of six similar complaints filed against RMBS trustees (Deutsche Bank, Citibank, HSBC, Bank of New York Mellon and Wells Fargo) by certain of these plaintiffs. The complaint against U.S. Bank alleges 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 asserts 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 complaint also asserts that the trustee failed to notify securityholders of purported events of default allegedly caused by breaches by mortgage loan servicers and that the trustee purportedly failed to abide by appropriate standards of care following events of default. Relief sought includes money damages in an unspecified amount and equitable relief. In November 2014, the plaintiffs sought leave to voluntarily dismiss their original state court complaint and filed a substantially similar complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The federal civil complaint added a class action allegation and a change in the total number of named trusts to 843 RMBS trusts. In December 2014, the plaintiffs’ motion to voluntarily dismiss their original state court complaint was granted. Other cases alleging similar causes of action have previously been filed against U.S. Bank and other trustees by RMBS investors in other transactions.

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, 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.

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 against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 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, N.A. 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 alleging similar causes of action have been filed against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and other trustees by RMBS investors in these and other transactions. 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, N.A. 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.
