⁽¹⁾ Approximate, subject to a permitted variance of plus or minus 5%.

⁽²⁾ The approximate initial credit support percentages set forth for the certificates are approximate and, for the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates, are represented in the aggregate.

⁽³⁾ The assumed final distribution dates set forth in this prospectus have been determined on the basis of the assumptions described in “Description of the Certificates—Assumed Final Distribution Date; Rated Final Distribution Date”.

⁽⁴⁾ The weighted average life and expected principal window during which distributions of principal would be received as set forth in the foregoing table with respect to each class of certificates having a certificate balance are based on the assumptions set forth under “Yield and Maturity Considerations—Weighted Average Life” and on the assumptions that there are no prepayments, modifications or losses in respect of the mortgage loans and that there are no extensions or forbearances of maturity dates or anticipated repayment dates of the mortgage loans.

⁽⁵⁾ The pass-through rates for the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class D certificates for any distribution date will, in each case, be a fixed rate per annum (described in the tables as “Fixed”) equal to the pass-through rate set forth opposite such class in the table.

⁽⁶⁾ The Class X-A certificates are notional amount certificates. The notional amount of the Class X-A certificates will be equal to the aggregate certificate balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates outstanding from time to time. The Class X-A certificates will not be entitled to distributions of principal.

⁽⁷⁾ The pass-through rate for the Class X-A certificates for any distribution date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date, over (b) the weighted average of the pass-through rates on the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates for the related distribution date, weighted on the basis of their respective aggregate certificate balances outstanding immediately prior to that distribution date. For purposes of the calculation of the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for each distribution date, the mortgage interest rates will be adjusted as necessary to a 30/360 basis.

⁽⁸⁾ The Class X-B certificates are notional amount certificates. The notional amount of the Class X-B certificates will be equal to the aggregate certificate balance of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates outstanding from time to time. The Class X-B certificates will not be entitled to distributions of principal.

3 

⁽⁹⁾ The pass-through rate for the Class X-B certificates for any distribution date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date, over (b) the weighted average of the pass-through rates on the Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates for the related distribution date, weighted on the basis of their respective aggregate certificate balances outstanding immediately prior to that distribution date. For purposes of the calculation of the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for each distribution date, the mortgage interest rates will be adjusted as necessary to a 30/360 basis.

⁽¹⁰⁾ The pass-through rates for the Class A-S and Class B certificates for any distribution date will, in each case, be a variable rate per annum (described in the table as “WAC Cap”) equal to the lesser of (a) a fixed rate per annum equal to the pass-through rate set forth opposite such class in the table and (b) the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date. For purposes of the calculation of the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for each distribution date, the mortgage interest rates will be adjusted as necessary to a 30/360 basis.

⁽¹¹⁾ The pass-through rates for the Class C, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class H-RR certificates for any distribution date will, in each case, be a variable rate per annum (described in the table as “WAC”) equal to the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date. For purposes of the calculation of the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for each distribution date, the mortgage interest rates will be adjusted as necessary to a 30/360 basis.

⁽¹²⁾ The Class X-D certificates are notional amount certificates. The notional amount of the Class X-D certificates will be equal to the certificate balance of the Class D certificates outstanding from time to time. The Class X-D certificates will not be entitled to distributions of principal.

⁽¹³⁾ The pass-through rate for the Class X-D certificates for any distribution date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date, over (b) the pass-through rate on the Class D certificates for the related distribution date. For purposes of the calculation of the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for each distribution date, the mortgage interest rates will be adjusted as necessary to a 30/360 basis.

⁽¹⁴⁾ The Class V certificates will not have a certificate balance, notional amount, credit support, pass-through rate, assumed final distribution date, rated final distribution date or rating. The Class V certificates will only be entitled to a specified portion of distributions of excess interest accrued on the mortgage loans with an anticipated repayment date. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—ARD Loans” in this prospectus.

⁽¹⁵⁾ The Class R certificates will not have a certificate balance, notional amount, credit support, pass-through rate, assumed final distribution date, rated final distribution date or rating. The Class R certificates represent the residual interest in each Trust REMIC as further described in this prospectus. The Class R certificates will not be entitled to distributions of principal or interest.

The Class X-D, Class D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class H-RR, Class V and Class R certificates are not offered by this prospectus. Any information in this prospectus concerning certificates other than the offered certificates is presented solely to enhance your understanding of the offered certificates.

Master Servicer Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will be the master servicer. The master servicer will be responsible for the master servicing and administration of the mortgage loans and any related companion loan pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement (other than any mortgage loan or companion loan that is part of a whole loan and serviced under the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, related to the transaction indicated in the table entitled “Non-Serviced Whole Loans” under “—The Mortgage Pool—Whole Loans” below). The principal west coast commercial mortgage master servicing offices of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association are located at MAC A0227-020, 1901 Harrison Street, Oakland, California 94612.

See “Transaction Parties—The Master Servicer” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”.

25 

The non-serviced mortgage loans will be serviced by the master servicer set forth in the table below under the heading “Non-Serviced Whole Loans” under “—The Mortgage Pool—Whole Loans”. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

Special Servicer LNR Partners, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, will act as special servicer with respect to the mortgage loans (other than any excluded special servicer loans) and any related companion loan other than with respect to the non-serviced mortgage loans and related companion loan(s) set forth in the table entitled “Non-Serviced Whole Loans” under “—The Mortgage Pool—Whole Loans” below. The special servicer will be primarily responsible for (i) making decisions and performing certain servicing functions with respect to such mortgage loans and any related companion loan as to which a special servicing transfer event (such as a default or an imminent default) has occurred and (ii) reviewing, evaluating, processing and providing or withholding consent as to major decisions relating to such mortgage loans and any related companion loan for which a special servicing transfer event has not occurred, in each case pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement for this transaction. The principal servicing offices of the special servicer is located at 1601 Washington Avenue, Suite 700, Miami Beach, Florida 33139. See “Transaction Parties—The Special Servicer” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”.

If the special servicer obtains knowledge that it has become a borrower party with respect to any mortgage loan (such mortgage loan referred to herein as an “excluded special servicer loan”), the special servicer will be required to resign as special servicer of that excluded special servicer loan. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a control termination event under the pooling and servicing agreement, the directing certificateholder will be required to select a separate special servicer that is not a borrower party (referred to herein as an “excluded special servicer”) with respect to any excluded special servicer loan, unless such excluded special servicer loan is also an excluded loan. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a control termination event or if at any time the applicable excluded special servicer loan is also an excluded loan, the resigning special servicer will be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to select the related excluded special servicer. See “—Directing Certificateholder” below and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for Cause”. Any excluded special

26 

servicer will be required to perform all of the obligations of the special servicer and will be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such excluded special servicer loan earned during such time as the related mortgage loan is an excluded special servicer loan.

LNR Partners, LLC is expected to be appointed as special servicer by Argentic Securities Income USA LLC, or an affiliate thereof, which, on the closing date, is expected to be appointed (or to appoint an affiliate) as the initial directing certificateholder. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder”.

The special servicer of each non-serviced mortgage loan is set forth in the table below entitled “Non-Serviced Whole Loans” under “—The Mortgage Pool—Whole Loans”. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

Trustee Wilmington Trust, National Association will act as trustee. The corporate trust office of the trustee is located at 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890, Attention: WFCM 2018-C48. Following the transfer of the mortgage loans, the trustee, on behalf of the issuing entity, will become the mortgagee of record for each mortgage loan (other than a non-serviced mortgage loan) and any related companion loan. See “Transaction Parties—The Trustee” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”.

With respect to each non-serviced mortgage loan, the entity set forth in the table entitled “Non-Serviced Whole Loans” under “—The Mortgage Pool—Whole Loans” below, in its capacity as trustee under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, for the indicated transaction, is the mortgagee of record for that non-serviced mortgage loan and any related companion loan. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

Certificate Administrator Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will act as certificate administrator. The certificate administrator will also be required to act as custodian, certificate registrar, REMIC administrator, 17g-5 information provider and authenticating agent. The corporate trust offices of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association are located at 9062 Old Annapolis Road, Columbia, Maryland 21045, and for certificate transfer purposes are located at 600 South 4th Street, 7th Floor, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479. See “Transaction Parties—The Certificate Administrator” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”.

27 

The custodian with respect to each non-serviced mortgage loan will be the entity set forth in the table below entitled “Non-Serviced Whole Loans” under “—The Mortgage Pool—Whole Loans”, as custodian under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, for the indicated transaction. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

Operating Advisor Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, will be the operating advisor. The operating advisor will have certain review and reporting responsibilities with respect to the performance of the special servicer, and in certain circumstances may recommend to the certificateholders that the special servicer be replaced. The operating advisor will generally have no obligations or consultation rights as operating advisor under the pooling and servicing agreement for this transaction with respect to a non-serviced mortgage loan or any related REO property. See “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor”.

Asset Representations

Reviewer Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, will also be serving as the asset representations reviewer. The asset representations reviewer will be required to review certain delinquent mortgage loans after a specified delinquency threshold has been exceeded and the required percentage of certificateholders vote to direct a review of such delinquent mortgage loans. See “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Asset Representations Reviewer”.

Directing Certificateholder The directing certificateholder will have certain consent and consultation rights in certain circumstances with respect to the mortgage loans (other than certain excluded loans as described in the next paragraph), as further described in this prospectus. The directing certificateholder will generally be the controlling class certificateholder (or its representative) selected by more than a specified percentage of the controlling class certificateholders (by certificate balance, as certified by the certificate registrar from time to time as provided for in the pooling and servicing agreement).

With respect to the directing certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the controlling class certificates, an “excluded loan” is a mortgage loan or whole loan with respect to which the directing certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the

28 

controlling class certificates is a borrower, a mortgagor, a manager of a mortgaged property, the holder of a mezzanine loan that has accelerated the related mezzanine loan (subject to certain exceptions) or commenced foreclosure or enforcement proceedings against the equity collateral pledged to secure the related mezzanine loan, or any borrower party affiliate thereof. However, in certain circumstances (such as when no directing certificateholder has been appointed and no one holder owns the largest aggregate certificate balance of the controlling class) there may be no directing certificateholder even if there is a controlling class. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder”.

The controlling class will be, as of any date of determination, the most subordinate class of the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class H-RR certificates then outstanding that has an aggregate certificate balance, as notionally reduced by any cumulative appraisal reduction amounts allocable to such class, at least equal to 25% of the initial certificate balance of that class. As of the closing date, the controlling class will be the Class H-RR certificates. No class of certificates, other than as described above, will be eligible to act as the controlling class or appoint a directing certificateholder.

It is expected that on the closing date, Argentic Securities Holdings Cayman Limited or an affiliate will purchase or otherwise acquire a majority of the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class H-RR and Class V certificates, and that Argentic Securities Income USA LLC will be appointed as the initial directing certificateholder with respect to each mortgage loan (other than (i) any non-serviced mortgage loan or (ii) any excluded loan).

Each entity identified in the table entitled “Non-Serviced Whole Loans” under “—The Mortgage Pool—Whole Loans” below is the initial directing certificateholder (or the equivalent) under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, for the indicated transaction and will have certain consent and consultation rights with respect to the related non-serviced whole loan, which are substantially similar, but not identical, to those of the directing certificateholder under the pooling and servicing agreement for this securitization, subject to similar appraisal mechanics. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loan” and “Pooling and

29 

Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

These roles and other potential relationships may give rise to conflicts of interest as further described in this prospectus under “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest” and “Certain Affiliations, Relationships and Related Transactions Involving Transaction Parties”.

Pass-Through Rates

A. Offered Certificates Your certificates will accrue interest at an annual rate called a pass-through rate. The initial approximate pass-through rate is set forth below for each class of certificates:

Class	Approx. Initial Pass- Through Rate(1)
Class A-1	3.3780%
Class A-2	4.2240%
Class A-3	4.0240%
Class A-SB	4.2450%
Class A-4	4.0370%
Class A-5	4.3020%
Class X-A	0.9579%
Class X-B	0.2430%
Class A-S	4.7030%
Class B	4.9040%
Class C	5.1214%

⁽¹⁾ The pass-through rates for the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates will, in each case, be a fixed rate per annum equal to the pass-through rate set forth opposite such class in the table. The pass-through rate for the Class X-A certificates for any distribution date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date, over (b) the weighted average of the pass-through rates on the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates for the related distribution date, weighted on the basis of their respective aggregate certificate balances outstanding immediately prior to that distribution date. The pass-through rate for the Class X-B certificates for any distribution date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date, over (b) the weighted average of the pass-through rates on the Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates for the related distribution date, weighted on the basis of their respective aggregate certificate balances outstanding immediately prior to that distribution date. The pass-through rates for the Class A-S and Class B certificates will, in each case, be a variable rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) a fixed rate per annum equal to the pass-through rate set forth opposite such class in the table and (b) the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date. The pass-through rate for

33 

the Class C certificates for any distribution date will be a variable rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates for the related distribution date. For purposes of the calculation of the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for each distribution date, the mortgage interest rates will be adjusted as necessary to a 30/360 basis.

B. Interest Rate

 Calculation Convention Interest on the offered certificates at their applicable pass-through rates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, or a “30/360 basis”.

For purposes of calculating the pass-through rates on the Class X-A and Class X-B certificates and any other class of certificates that has a pass-through rate limited by, equal to or based on the weighted average net mortgage interest rate (which calculation does not include any companion loan interest rate), the mortgage loan interest rates will not reflect any default interest rate, any loan term modifications agreed to by the special servicer or any modifications resulting from a borrower’s bankruptcy or insolvency.

For purposes of calculating the pass-through rates on the offered certificates, the interest rate for each mortgage loan that accrues interest based on the actual number of days in each month and assuming a 360-day year, or an “actual/360 basis”, will be recalculated, if necessary, so that the amount of interest that would accrue at that recalculated rate in the applicable month, calculated on a 30/360 basis, will equal the amount of interest that is required to be paid on that mortgage loan in that month, subject to certain adjustments as described in “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Pass-Through Rates” and “—Interest Distribution Amount”.

C. Servicing and 

Administration Fees Each of the master servicer and the special servicer is entitled to a servicing fee or special servicing fee, as the case may be, from the interest payments on each mortgage loan (other than any non-serviced mortgage loan with respect to the special servicing fee only), any related serviced companion loan and any related REO loans and, with respect to the special servicing fees, if the related mortgage loan interest payments (or other collections in respect of the related mortgage loan or mortgaged property) are insufficient, then from general collections on all mortgage loans.

The servicing fee for each distribution date, including the master servicing fee and the portion of the servicing fee payable to any primary servicer or subservicer, is calculated on the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan (including any non-serviced mortgage

34 

loan) and any related serviced companion loan at a servicing fee rate equal to a per annum rate ranging from 0.00375% to 0.07500%.

The special servicing fee for each distribution date is calculated based on the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan (other than any non-serviced mortgage loan) and any related serviced companion loan as to which a special servicing transfer event has occurred (including any REO loans), on a loan-by-loan basis at the special servicing fee rate equal to the greater of (i) a per annum rate of 0.25000% and (ii) the per annum rate that would result in a special servicing fee of $3,500 for the related month. The special servicer will not be entitled to a special servicing fee with respect to any non-serviced mortgage loan.

Any primary servicing fees or sub-servicing fees with respect to each mortgage loan (other than any non-serviced mortgage loan) and any related serviced companion loan will be paid by the master servicer or special servicer, respectively, out of the fees described above.

The master servicer and special servicer are also entitled to additional fees and amounts, including income on the amounts held in certain accounts and certain permitted investments, liquidation fees and workout fees. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses”.

The certificate administrator fee for each distribution date is calculated on the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan (including any REO loan and any non-serviced mortgage loan, but not any companion loan) at a per annum rate equal to 0.00840%. The trustee fee is payable by the certificate administrator from the certificate administrator fee and is equal to $290 per month.

The operating advisor will be entitled to a fee on each distribution date calculated on the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan and REO loan (excluding any non-serviced mortgage loan and any related companion loan) at a per annum rate equal to 0.00205%. The operating advisor will also be entitled under certain circumstances to a consulting fee.

The asset representations reviewer will be entitled to an upfront fee of $5,000 on the closing date. As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the asset representations reviewer will be entitled to a fee on each distribution date calculated on the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan and

35 

REO loan (including any non-serviced mortgage loan, but excluding any related companion loan(s)) at a per annum rate equal to 0.00035%. Upon the completion of any asset review with respect to each delinquent loan, the asset representations reviewer will be entitled to a per loan fee in an amount described in “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses—Asset Representations Reviewer Compensation”.

Each party to the pooling and servicing agreement will also be entitled to be reimbursed by the issuing entity for costs, expenses and liabilities borne by them in certain circumstances. Fees and expenses payable by the issuing entity to any party to the pooling and servicing agreement are generally payable prior to any distributions to certificateholders.

Additionally, with respect to each distribution date, an amount equal to the product of 0.00050% per annum multiplied by the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan and any REO loan will be payable to CRE Finance Council^® as a license fee for use of its names and trademarks, including an investor reporting package. This fee will be payable prior to any distributions to certificateholders.

Payment of the fees and reimbursement of the costs and expenses described above will generally have priority over the distribution of amounts payable to the certificateholders. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses”, “—Termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer For Cause” and “—Limitation on Liability; Indemnification”.

With respect to each non-serviced mortgage loan set forth in the table below, the master servicer under the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of that mortgage loan will be entitled to a primary servicing fee at a rate equal to a per annum rate set forth in the table below, and the special servicer under the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, will be entitled to a special servicing fee at a rate equal to the per annum rate set forth below. In addition, each party to the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of a non-serviced whole loan will be entitled to receive other fees and reimbursements with respect to the related non-serviced mortgage loan in amounts, from sources, and at frequencies, that are similar, but not necessarily identical, to those described above and,

36 

in certain cases (for example, with respect to unreimbursed special servicing fees and servicing advances with respect to the related non-serviced whole loan), such amounts will be reimbursable from general collections on the mortgage loans to the extent not recoverable from the related non-serviced whole loan and to the extent allocable to the related non-serviced mortgage loan pursuant to the related intercreditor agreement. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loan” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

Second, to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates, as follows: (i) to the extent of funds allocated to principal and available for distribution: (a) first, to principal on the Class A-SB certificates, until the certificate balance of the Class A-SB certificates is reduced to the planned principal balance for the related distribution date set forth in Annex E to this prospectus, (b) second, to principal on the Class A-1 certificates, until the certificate balance of the Class A-1 certificates has been reduced to zero, (c) third, to principal on the Class A-2 certificates, until the certificate balance of the Class A-2 certificates has been reduced to zero, (d) fourth, to principal on the Class A-3 certificates until the certificate balance of the Class A-3 certificates has been reduced to zero, (e) fifth, to principal on the Class A-4 certificates until the certificate balance of the Class A-4 certificates has been reduced to zero, (f) sixth, to principal on the Class A-5 certificates until the certificate balance of the Class A-5 certificates has been reduced to zero, and (g) seventh, to principal on the Class A-SB certificates, until the certificate balance of the Class A-SB certificates has been reduced to zero, or (ii) if the certificate balance of each class of certificates other than the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates has been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of mortgage loan losses to those classes of certificates, funds available for distributions of principal will be distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates, pro rata, without regard to the distribution priorities described above or the planned principal balance of the Class A-SB certificates.

Third, to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates, to reimburse the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates, pro rata, based upon the aggregate unreimbursed losses previously allocated to each such class, up to the amount of any previously unreimbursed losses on the mortgage loans allocable to principal that were previously borne by those classes, together with interest on that amount at the pass-through rate for such class;

38 

its interest entitlement; (b) to the extent of funds allocable to principal remaining after distributions in respect of principal to each class with a higher priority (as set forth in prior enumerated clauses set forth above), to principal on the Class A-S certificates until its certificate balance has been reduced to zero; and (c) to reimburse the Class A-S certificates up to the amount of any previously unreimbursed losses on the mortgage loans that were previously allocated to those certificates, together with interest on that amount at the pass-through rate for such class;

Fifth, to the Class B certificates as follows: (a) to interest on the Class B certificates up to the amount of its interest entitlement; (b) to the extent of funds allocable to principal remaining after distributions in respect of principal to each class with a higher priority (as set forth in prior enumerated clauses set forth above), to principal on the Class B certificates until its certificate balance has been reduced to zero; and (c) to reimburse the Class B certificates up to the amount of any previously unreimbursed losses on the mortgage loans that were previously allocated to those certificates, together with interest on that amount at the pass-through rate for such class;

Sixth, to the Class C certificates as follows: (a) to interest on the Class C certificates up to the amount of its interest entitlement; (b) to the extent of funds allocable to principal remaining after distributions in respect of principal to each class with a higher priority (as set forth in prior enumerated clauses set forth above), to principal on the Class C certificates until its certificate balance has been reduced to zero; and (c) to reimburse the Class C certificates up to the amount of any previously unreimbursed losses on the mortgage loans that were previously allocated to those certificates, together with interest on that amount at the pass-through rate for such class;

39 

B. Interest and Principal

Entitlements A description of the interest entitlement of each class of certificates (other than the Class V and Class R certificates) can be found in “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Interest Distribution Amount”. As described in that section, there are circumstances in which your interest entitlement for a distribution date could be less than one full month’s interest at the pass-through rate on your certificate’s balance or notional amount.

A description of the amount of principal required to be distributed to each class of certificates entitled to principal on a particular distribution date can be found in “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Principal Distribution Amount”.

C. Yield Maintenance 

Charges, Prepayment

Premiums Yield maintenance charges and prepayment premiums with respect to the mortgage loans will be allocated to the certificates as described in “Description of the Certificates—Allocation of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums”.

For an explanation of the calculation of yield maintenance charges, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans”.

D. Subordination,

Allocation of Losses 

 and Certain Expenses The chart below describes the manner in which the payment rights of certain classes of certificates will be senior or subordinate, as the case may be, to the payment rights of other classes of certificates. The chart also shows the manner in which mortgage loan losses are allocated to certain classes of the certificates in ascending order (beginning with the non-offered certificates, other than the Class X-D, Class V and Class R certificates) to reduce the balance of each such class to zero; provided that no principal payments or mortgage loan losses will be allocated to the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class V or Class R certificates, although principal payments and mortgage loan losses may reduce the notional amounts of the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D certificates and, therefore, the amount of interest they accrue.

40 

 

⁽¹⁾ The Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D certificates are interest-only certificates.

⁽²⁾ The Class X-D certificates are non-offered certificates.

⁽³⁾ Other than the Class X-D, Class V and Class R certificates.

Other than the subordination of certain classes of certificates, as described above, no other form of credit enhancement will be available for the benefit of the holders of the offered certificates.

The notional amount of the Class X-A certificates will be reduced by the amount of principal losses or principal payments, if any, allocated to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates. The notional amount of the Class X-B certificates will be reduced by the amount of principal losses or principal payments, if any, allocated to the Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates.

To the extent funds are available on a subsequent distribution date for distribution on your offered certificates, you will be reimbursed for any losses allocated to your offered certificates with interest at the pass-through rate on those offered certificates in accordance with the distribution priorities.

See “Description of the Certificates—Subordination; Allocation of Realized Losses” for more detailed information regarding the subordination provisions applicable to the certificates and the allocation of losses to the certificates.

E. Shortfalls in Available

Funds Shortfalls will reduce distributions to the classes of certificates with the lowest payment priorities. Shortfalls may occur as a result of:

● the payment of special servicing fees and other additional compensation that the special servicer is entitled to receive;

41 

● interest on advances made by the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee (to the extent not covered by late payment charges or default interest paid by the related borrower);

● the application of appraisal reductions to reduce interest advances;

● extraordinary expenses of the issuing entity including indemnification payments payable to the parties to the pooling and servicing agreement;

● a modification of a mortgage loan’s interest rate or principal balance; and

● other unanticipated or default-related expenses of the issuing entity.

In addition, prepayment interest shortfalls on the mortgage loans that are not covered by certain compensating interest payments made by the master servicer are required to be allocated among the classes of certificates (other than the Class V certificates) entitled to interest, on a pro rata basis, to reduce the amount of interest payable on each such class of certificates to the extent described in this prospectus. See “Description of the Certificates—Prepayment Interest Shortfalls”.

F. Excess Interest On each distribution date, any excess interest in respect of the increase in the interest rate on any mortgage loan with an anticipated repayment date after the related anticipated repayment date to the extent actually collected and applied as interest during a collection period will be distributed to the holders of the Class V certificates on the related distribution date as set forth in “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Excess Interest”. This excess interest will not be available to make distributions to any other class of certificates or to provide credit support for other classes of certificates or offset any interest shortfalls or to pay any other amounts to any other party under the pooling and servicing agreement.

Advances

A. P&I Advances The master servicer is required to advance a delinquent periodic payment on each mortgage loan (including any non-serviced mortgage loan) or any REO loan (other than any portion of an REO loan related to a companion loan), unless in each case, the master servicer or the special servicer determines that the advance would be nonrecoverable. Neither the master servicer nor the trustee will be required to advance balloon payments

42 

due at maturity or outstanding on the related anticipated repayment date, as applicable, in excess of the regular periodic payment, interest in excess of a mortgage loan’s regular interest rate, default interest, late payment charges, prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges.

The amount of the interest portion of any advance will be subject to reduction to the extent that an appraisal reduction of the related mortgage loan has occurred (and with respect to any mortgage loan that is part of a whole loan, to the extent such appraisal reduction amount is allocated to the related mortgage loan). There may be other circumstances in which the master servicer will not be required to advance a full month of principal and/or interest. If the master servicer fails to make a required advance, the trustee will be required to make the advance, unless the trustee determines that the advance would be nonrecoverable. If an interest advance is made by the master servicer, the master servicer will not advance the portion of interest that constitutes its servicing fee, but will advance the portion of interest that constitutes the monthly fees payable to the certificate administrator, the trustee, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer and the CREFC^® license fee.

Neither the master servicer nor the trustee will make, or be permitted to make, any principal or interest advance with respect to any companion loan and the special servicer will not make any principal or interest advance with respect to any mortgage loan or companion loan.

See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Advances”.

B. Property Protection 

Advances The master servicer may be required to make advances with respect to the mortgage loans (excluding any non-serviced mortgage loan) and any related companion loan to pay delinquent real estate taxes, assessments and hazard insurance premiums and similar expenses necessary to:

● protect and maintain (and in the case of REO properties, lease and manage) the related mortgaged property;

● maintain the lien on the related mortgaged property; and/or

● enforce the related mortgage loan documents.

The special servicer will have no obligation to make any property protection advances (although it may elect to

43 

make them in an emergency circumstance). If the special servicer makes a property protection advance, the master servicer will be required to reimburse the special servicer for that advance (unless the master servicer determines that the advance would be nonrecoverable, in which case the advance will be reimbursed out of the collection account) and the master servicer will be deemed to have made that advance as of the date made by the special servicer.

If the master servicer fails to make a required advance of this type, the trustee will be required to make this advance. None of the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee is required to advance amounts determined by such party to be nonrecoverable.

See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Advances”.

With respect to each non-serviced mortgage loan, the master servicer (and the trustee, as applicable) under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of that non-serviced whole loan will be required to make similar advances with respect to delinquent real estate taxes, assessments and hazard insurance premiums as described above.

C. Interest on Advances The master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to interest on the above described advances at the “Prime Rate” as published in The Wall Street Journal, as described in this prospectus. Interest accrued on outstanding advances may result in reductions in amounts otherwise payable on the certificates. Neither the master servicer nor the trustee will be entitled to interest on advances made with respect to principal and interest due on a mortgage loan until the related due date has passed and any grace period for late payments applicable to the mortgage loan has expired. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Advances”.

With respect to each non-serviced mortgage loan, the applicable makers of advances under the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of the non-serviced whole loan will similarly be entitled to interest on advances, and any accrued and unpaid interest on property protection advances made in respect of such non-serviced mortgage loan may be reimbursed from general collections on the other mortgage loans included in the issuing entity to the extent not recoverable from such non-serviced whole loan and to the extent allocable to such non-serviced

44 

mortgage loan in accordance with the related intercreditor agreement.

The Mortgage Pool

The Mortgage Pool The issuing entity’s primary assets will be fifty-two (52) fixed-rate commercial mortgage loans, each evidenced by one or more promissory notes secured by first mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt or similar security instruments on the fee and/or leasehold estate of the related borrower in ninety-five (95) commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community properties. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—General”.

The aggregate principal balance of the mortgage loans as of the cut-off date will be approximately $833,933,944.

Whole Loans

Unless otherwise expressly stated in this prospectus, the term “mortgage loan” refers to each of the fifty-two (52) commercial mortgage loans to be held by the issuing entity. Of the mortgage loans, each mortgage loan in the table below is part of a larger whole loan, which is comprised of the related mortgage loan and one or more loans that are pari passu in right of payment to the related mortgage loan (each referred to in this prospectus as a “pari passu companion loan”) and, in certain cases, one or more loans that are subordinate in right of payment to the related mortgage loan (each referred to in this prospectus as a “subordinate companion loan”, and any pari passu companion loan or subordinate companion loan may also be referred to herein as a “companion loan”). The companion loans, together with their related mortgage loan, are referred to in this prospectus as a “whole loan”.

Mortgage Loan Characteristics

The following tables set forth certain anticipated characteristics of the mortgage loans as of the cut-off date (unless otherwise indicated). Except as specifically provided in this prospectus, various information

47 

presented in this prospectus (including loan-to-value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, debt yields and cut-off date balances per net rentable square foot, pad, room or unit, as applicable) with respect to any mortgage loan with a pari passu companion loan or subordinate companion loan is calculated including the principal balance and debt service payment of the related pari passu companion loan(s), but is calculated excluding the principal balance and debt service payment of the related subordinate companion loan (or any other subordinate debt encumbering the related mortgaged property or any related mezzanine debt or preferred equity).

The sum of the numerical data in any column may not equal the indicated total due to rounding. Unless otherwise indicated, all figures and percentages presented in this “Summary of Terms” are calculated as described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions” and, unless otherwise indicated, such figures and percentages are approximate and in each case, represent the indicated figure or percentage of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date. The principal balance of each mortgage loan as of the cut-off date assumes (or, in the case of each mortgage loan with a cut-off date prior to the date of this prospectus, reflects) the timely receipt of principal scheduled to be paid on or before the cut-off date and no defaults, delinquencies or prepayments on, or modifications of, any mortgage loan on or prior to the cut-off date. Whenever percentages and other information in this prospectus are presented on the mortgaged property level rather than the mortgage loan level, the information for mortgage loans secured by more than one mortgaged property is based on allocated loan amounts as stated in Annex A-1. All percentages of the mortgage loans and mortgaged properties, or of any specified group of mortgage loans and mortgaged properties, referred to in this prospectus without further description are approximate percentages of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, by cut-off date balances and/or the allocated loan amount allocated to such mortgaged properties as of the cut-off date.

⁽¹⁾ Subject to a permitted variance of plus or minus 5%.

⁽²⁾ With respect to two (2) mortgage loans with an anticipated repayment date, secured by the mortgaged properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as Franklin Towne Center and Home Depot Technology Center, representing approximately 5.2% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, calculated as of the related anticipated repayment date.

⁽³⁾ Excludes twenty-one (21) mortgage loans (48.1%), that are interest-only for the entire term or until the anticipated repayment date, as applicable.

⁽⁴⁾ With respect to the 1600 Terrell Mill Road mortgage loan (3.1%) and the Fair Oaks Mall mortgage loan (1.1%), each such mortgage loan will amortize based on the assumed principal payment schedule set forth on Annex A-4 and Annex A-5, respectively.

⁽⁵⁾ In the case of three (3) mortgage loans (8.2%) secured by the mortgaged properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as Riverworks, Waterford Tulsa Apartments and Kennedy Road Marketplace, the debt

49 

service coverage ratio, loan-to-value ratio and debt yield have been calculated based on the related principal balance as of the cut-off date less a related earnout or holdback reserve. With respect to the Riverworks mortgage loan (4.6%), the underwritten net cash flow debt service coverage ratio, cut-off date loan-to-value ratio, loan-to-value ratio at maturity and underwritten net operating income debt yield, including the related earnout reserve, are 1.73x, 60.0%, 60.0% and 9.1%, respectively. With respect to the Waterford Tulsa Apartments mortgage loan (2.2%), the underwritten net cash flow debt service coverage ratio, cut-off date loan-to-value ratio, loan-to-value ratio at maturity and underwritten net operating income debt yield, including the related holdback reserve, are 1.31x, 74.7%, 69.3% and 9.3%, respectively. With respect to the Kennedy Road Marketplace mortgage loan (1.4%), the underwritten net cash flow debt service coverage ratio, cut-off date loan-to-value ratio, loan-to-value ratio at maturity and underwritten net operating income debt yield, including the related holdback reserve, are 1.27x, 69.3%, 64.1% and 8.5%, respectively. See “Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Escrows”.

⁽⁶⁾ Loan-to-value ratios (such as, for example, the loan-to-value ratios as of the cut-off date and the loan-to-value ratios at the maturity date) with respect to the mortgage loans were generally calculated using “as-is” values as described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions” in this prospectus; provided, that with respect to certain mortgage loans, the related loan-to-value ratios have been calculated using “as-complete”, “as-stabilized” or similar hypothetical values. In addition, with respect to certain mortgage loans secured by multiple mortgaged properties, the appraised value may be an “as-portfolio” value that assigns a premium to the value of the mortgaged properties as a whole, which value exceeds the sum of their individual appraised values. Such mortgage loans are identified under the definition of “LTV Ratio” set forth under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions” in this prospectus. For further information, see Annex A-1 to this prospectus.

⁽⁷⁾ In the case of eleven (11) mortgage loans secured by the mortgaged properties or portfolio of mortgaged properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown, Starwood Hotel Portfolio, Christiana Mall, Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio, Danbury Commerce Portfolio, Aventura Mall, Lakeside Pointe & Fox Club Apartments, Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio, Home Depot Technology Center, Liberty Portfolio and Fair Oaks Mall, representing approximately 30.4% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, each of which has one or more pari passu companion loans and/or subordinate companion loans that are not included in the issuing entity, the debt service coverage ratio, loan-to-value ratio and debt yield have been calculated including the related pari passu companion loan(s) but excluding any related subordinate companion loan. With respect to the Christiana Mall mortgage loan (3.4%), the related loan-to-value ratio as of the cut-off date, loan-to-value ratio as of the maturity date, underwritten net cash flow debt service coverage ratio and underwritten net operating income debt yield calculated including the related subordinate companion loan are 52.9%, 52.9%, 1.93x and 8.5%, respectively. With respect to the Aventura Mall mortgage loan (2.4%), the related loan-to-value ratio as of the cut-off date, loan-to-value ratio as of the maturity date, underwritten net cash flow debt service coverage ratio and underwritten net operating income debt yield calculated including the related subordinate companion loan are 50.7%, 50.7%, 2.07x and 8.8%, respectively. With respect to the Fair Oaks Mall mortgage loan (1.1%), the related loan-to-value ratio as of the cut-off date, loan-to-value ratio as of the maturity date, underwritten net cash flow debt service coverage ratio and underwritten net operating income debt yield calculated including the related subordinate companion loans are 47.3%, 44.2%, 1.64x and 11.6%, respectively.

⁽⁸⁾ Debt service coverage ratios are calculated using the average of the principal and interest payments for the first twelve payment periods of the mortgage loan following the cut-off date, provided that (i) in the case of a mortgage loan that provides for interest-only payments through maturity or its anticipated repayment date, as applicable, such items are calculated based on the interest payments scheduled to be due on the first due date following the cut-off date and the 11 due dates thereafter for such mortgage loan and (ii) in the case of a mortgage loan that provides for an initial interest-only period that ends prior to maturity or its anticipated repayment date, as applicable, and provides for scheduled amortization

50 

payments thereafter, such items are calculated based on the monthly payment of principal and interest payable for the 12 payment periods immediately following the expiration of the interest-only period.

All of the mortgage loans accrue interest on an actual/360 basis.

For further information regarding the mortgage loans, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool”.

Modified and Refinanced 

Loans As of the cut-off date, none of the mortgage loans were modified due to a delinquency or were refinancings of loans in default at the time of refinancing and/or otherwise involved discounted payoffs in connection with the origination of such mortgage loans.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Loan Purpose; Default History, Bankruptcy Issues and Other Proceedings”.

Properties with Limited

Operating History Thirteen (13) of the mortgaged properties (11.9%), (i) were constructed or the subject of a major renovation that was completed within 12 calendar months prior to the cut-off date and, therefore, the related mortgaged property has either no prior operating history or limited prior operating history, (ii) have a borrower or an affiliate under the related mortgage loan that acquired the related mortgaged property within 12 calendar months prior to the cut-off date and such borrower or affiliate was unable to provide the related mortgage loan seller with historical financial information for such acquired mortgaged property or (iii) are single tenant properties subject to triple-net leases with the related tenant where the related borrower did not provide the related mortgage loan seller with historical financial information for the related mortgaged property.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Mortgaged Properties With Limited Prior Operating History”.

Certain Variances from

Underwriting Standards Certain of the mortgage loans may vary from the related mortgage loan seller’s underwriting guidelines described under “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers”.

With respect to three (3) mortgage loans (10.0%), there was an exception from the applicable mortgage loan seller’s underwriting guidelines with respect to satisfaction of certain underwriting criteria (e.g.,

51 

occupancy, minimum debt service coverage ratio, underwritten management fees, underwritten vacancies, underwritten occupancy, single purpose entity covenants, etc.).

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines”; “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC—Argentic’s Underwriting Standards and Processes”; “—Wells Fargo Bank, National Association—Wells Fargo Bank’s Commercial Mortgage Loan Underwriting”; “—Barclays Bank PLC—Barclays’ Underwriting Guidelines and Processes”; “—Basis Real Estate Capital II, LLC—Basis’s Underwriting Standards and Loan Analysis”; and “—BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC—BSPRT’s Underwriting Standards”.

Additional Aspects of Certificates

Denominations The offered certificates with certificate balances that are initially offered and sold to purchasers will be issued in minimum denominations of $10,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess of $10,000. The certificates with notional amounts will be issued, maintained and transferred only in minimum denominations of authorized initial notional amounts of not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1 in excess of $1,000,000.

Registration, Clearance 

and Settlement Each class of offered certificates will initially be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, or DTC.

You may hold offered certificates through: (1) DTC in the United States; or (2) Clearstream Banking, société anonyme or Euroclear Bank, as operator of the Euroclear System. Transfers within DTC, Clearstream Banking, société anonyme or Euroclear Bank, as operator of the Euroclear System, will be made in accordance with the usual rules and operating procedures of those systems.

See “Description of the Certificates—Delivery, Form, Transfer and Denomination—Book-Entry Registration”.

Credit Risk Retention For a discussion of the manner in which the U.S. credit risk retention requirements will be satisfied by Argentic

52 

Real Estate Finance LLC, as retaining sponsor, see “Credit Risk Retention”.

Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC will act as the “retaining sponsor” and is expected to satisfy its risk retention requirement through the purchase by its “majority-owned affiliate” (as defined in the U.S. credit risk retention rules), which is expected to be Argentic Securities Holdings Cayman Limited, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability (the “retaining party”), of an “eligible horizontal residual interest” comprised of the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class H-RR certificates (the “horizontal risk retention certificates”).

While Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC will initially satisfy its risk retention requirements through the purchase by the retaining party of the horizontal risk retention certificates, the retaining sponsor is permitted under the credit risk retention rules under certain circumstances to transfer the horizontal risk retention certificates to a “third-party purchaser” (as defined in the credit risk retention rules) at any time on or after December 20, 2023. Any such transfer will be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable provisions under the credit risk retention rules.

None of the sponsors, the depositor or any other party to the transaction intends to retain a material net economic interest in the securitization constituted by the issue of the offered certificates in accordance with the EU risk retention and due diligence requirements or to take any other action which may be required by EEA-regulated investors for the purposes of their compliance with the EU risk retention and due diligence requirements or similar requirements. See “Risk Factors—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Legal and Regulatory Provisions Affecting Investors Could Adversely Affect the Liquidity of the Offered Certificates”.

Information Available to

Certificateholders On each distribution date, the certificate administrator will prepare and make available to each certificateholder of record, initially expected to be Cede & Co., a statement as to the distributions being made on that date. Additionally, under certain circumstances, certificateholders of record may be entitled to certain other information regarding the issuing entity. See “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”.

53 

Deal Information/Analytics Certain information concerning the mortgage loans and the certificates may be available to subscribers through the following services:

● Bloomberg, L.P., Trepp, LLC, Intex Solutions, Inc., Interactive Data Corp., Markit Group Limited, BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., CMBS.com, Inc., Moody’s Analytics, MBS Data, LLC and Thomson Reuters Corporation;

● The certificate administrator’s website initially located at www.ctslink.com; and

● The master servicer’s website initially located at www.wellsfargo.com/com.

Optional Termination On any distribution date on which the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if such right is being exercised after the distribution date in January 2029 and the Franklin Towne Center is still an asset of the issuing entity, then such mortgage loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans and from the aggregate principal balance of the mortgage loans as of the cut-off date) is less than 1.0% of the aggregate principal balance of the mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, certain entities specified in this prospectus will have the option to purchase all of the remaining mortgage loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any mortgage loan) at the price specified in this prospectus.

The issuing entity may also be terminated in connection with a voluntary exchange of all of the then-outstanding certificates (other than the Class V and Class R certificates) and deemed payment of a price specified in this prospectus for the mortgage loans then held by the issuing entity, provided that (i) the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D certificates are no longer outstanding, (ii) there is only one holder (or multiple holders acting unanimously) of the outstanding certificates (other than the Class V and Class R certificates) and (iii) the master servicer consents to the exchange.

Required Repurchases or

Substitutions of Mortgage

Loans; Loss of Value 

Payment Under certain circumstances, the related mortgage loan seller (or Benefit Street Partners Realty Trust, Inc., as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC) may be obligated to (i) repurchase (without payment of any yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium) or substitute an affected mortgage loan from the issuing entity or (ii) make a cash payment that would be deemed sufficient to compensate the issuing entity in the event of a document defect or a breach of a representation and warranty made by the related mortgage loan seller with respect to the mortgage loan in the related mortgage loan purchase agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of the mortgage loan, the value of the related mortgaged property or the interests of any certificateholders in the mortgage loan or mortgaged property or causes the mortgage loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective loan to be treated as a “qualified mortgage”). See “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements—General”.

Sale of Defaulted Loans Pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement, under certain circumstances the special servicer is required to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for defaulted mortgage loans (other than non-serviced mortgage loans) or a defaulted serviced whole loan and/or related REO properties and, in the absence of a cash offer at least equal to its outstanding principal balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest and outstanding costs and expenses and certain other amounts under the pooling and servicing agreement, may accept the first (and, if multiple offers are received, the highest) cash offer from any person that constitutes a fair price for the defaulted mortgage loan (other than non-serviced mortgage loans) or related REO property, determined as described in “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Realization Upon Mortgage Loans” and “—Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties”, unless the special servicer determines, in accordance with the servicing standard (and subject to the requirements of any related intercreditor agreement), that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the certificateholders and any related companion loan holders (as a collective whole as if such certificateholders and such companion loan holders constituted a single lender).

55 

With respect to any non-serviced mortgage loan, if a related pari passu companion loan becomes a defaulted mortgage loan under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement for the related pari passu companion loan and the special servicer under the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement for the related pari passu companion loan(s) determines to sell such pari passu companion loan(s), then such special servicer will be required to sell such non-serviced mortgage loan together with the related pari passu companion loan(s) in a manner similar to that described above. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”.

Pursuant to each mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement with respect to the mortgage loans with mezzanine indebtedness, the holder of the related mezzanine loan has the right to purchase the related mortgage loan as described in “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Indebtedness—Mezzanine Indebtedness”. Additionally, in the case of mortgage loans that permit certain equity owners of the borrower to incur future mezzanine debt as described in “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Indebtedness—Mezzanine Indebtedness”, the related mezzanine lender may have the option to purchase the related mortgage loan after certain defaults. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Realization Upon Mortgage Loans”, “—Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”.

Tax Status Elections will be made to treat designated portions of the issuing entity (exclusive of interest that is deferred after the anticipated repayment date of each mortgage loan with an anticipated repayment date and the excess interest distribution account) as two separate REMICs – the lower-tier REMIC and the upper-tier REMIC – for federal income tax purposes.

In addition, the portion of the issuing entity consisting of the entitlement to collections of excess interest accrued on any mortgage loan with an anticipated repayment date and the related distribution account will be treated as a trust and the holders of the Class V certificates will be treated as the beneficial owners of such entitlement for federal income tax purposes (a “grantor trust”), as further described under “Material Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

Pertinent federal income tax consequences of an investment in the offered certificates include:

56 

● Each class of offered certificates will constitute REMIC “regular interests”.

● The offered certificates will be treated as newly originated debt instruments for federal income tax purposes.

● You will be required to report income on your offered certificates using the accrual method of accounting.

● It is anticipated that the Class X-A and Class X-B, certificates will be issued with original issue discount, the Class C certificates will be issued with a de minimis amount of original issue discount and the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S and Class B certificates will be issued at a premium for federal income tax purposes.

See “Material Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

Certain ERISA

Considerations Subject to important considerations described under “Certain ERISA Considerations”, the offered certificates are eligible for purchase by persons investing assets of employee benefit plans or individual retirement accounts.

Legal Investment None of the certificates will constitute “mortgage related securities” for purposes of the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act of 1984, as amended.

If your investment activities are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, regulatory capital requirements, or review by regulatory authorities, then you may be subject to restrictions on investment in the certificates. You should consult your own legal advisors for assistance in determining the suitability of and consequences to you of the purchase, ownership, and sale of the certificates.

The issuing entity will not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The issuing entity will be relying on an exclusion or exemption from the definition of “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, contained in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions available to the issuing entity. The issuing entity is being structured so as not to constitute a “covered fund” for purposes of the Volcker

57 

Rule under the Dodd-Frank Act (both as defined in this prospectus). See “Legal Investment”.

Ratings The offered certificates will not be issued unless each of the offered classes receives a credit rating from one or more of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations engaged by the depositor to rate the offered certificates. The decision not to engage one or more other rating agencies in the rating of certain classes of certificates to be issued in connection with this transaction, may negatively impact the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of those classes of certificates. Neither the depositor nor any other person or entity will have any duty to notify you if any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization issues, or delivers notice of its intention to issue, unsolicited ratings on one or more classes of certificates after the date of this prospectus.

See “Risk Factors—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations May Assign Different Ratings to the Certificates; Ratings of the Certificates Reflect Only the Views of the Applicable Rating Agencies as of the Dates Such Ratings Were Issued; Ratings May Affect ERISA Eligibility; Ratings May Be Downgraded” and “Ratings”.

Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the following risks before making an investment decision. In particular, distributions on your certificates will depend on payments received on, and other recoveries with respect to the mortgage loans. Therefore, you should carefully consider the risk factors relating to the mortgage loans and the mortgaged properties.

If any of the following events or circumstances identified as risks actually occur or materialize, your investment could be materially and adversely affected. We note that additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us may also impair your investment.

This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this prospectus.

The Certificates May Not Be a Suitable Investment for You

The certificates will not be suitable investments for all investors. In particular, you should not purchase any class of certificates unless you understand and are able to bear the risk that the yield to maturity and the aggregate amount and timing of distributions on the certificates will be subject to material variability from period to period and give rise to the potential for significant loss over the life of the certificates. The interaction of the foregoing factors and their effects are impossible to predict and are likely to change from time to time. As a result, an investment in the certificates involves substantial risks and uncertainties and should be considered only by sophisticated institutional investors with substantial investment experience with similar types of securities and who have conducted appropriate due diligence on the mortgage loans, the mortgaged properties and the certificates.

Combination or “Layering” of Multiple Risks May Significantly Increase Risk of Loss

Although the various risks discussed in this prospectus are generally described separately, you should consider the potential effects of the interplay of multiple risk factors. Where more than one significant risk factor is present, the risk of loss to an investor in the certificates may be significantly increased.

Risks Related to Market Conditions and Other External Factors

The Volatile Economy, Credit Crisis and Downturn in the Real Estate Market Adversely Affected the Value of CMBS and Similar Factors May in the Future Adversely Affect the Value of CMBS

In recent years, the real estate and securitization markets, including the market for commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), experienced significant dislocations, illiquidity and volatility. We cannot assure you that another dislocation in CMBS will not occur.

Any economic downturn may adversely affect the financial resources of borrowers under commercial mortgage loans and may result in their inability to make payments on, or refinance, their outstanding mortgage debt when due or to sell their mortgaged properties for an aggregate amount sufficient to pay off the outstanding debt when due. As a result,

59 

distributions of principal and interest on your certificates, and the value of your certificates, could be adversely affected.

Other Events May Affect the Value and Liquidity of Your Investment

Moreover, other types of events, domestic or international, may affect general economic conditions and financial markets:

● Wars, revolts, terrorist attacks, armed conflicts, energy supply or price disruptions, political crises, natural disasters and man-made disasters may have an adverse effect on the mortgaged properties and/or your certificates; and

● Trading activity associated with indices of CMBS may drive spreads on those indices wider than spreads on CMBS, thereby resulting in a decrease in value of such CMBS, including your certificates, and spreads on those indices may be affected by a variety of factors, and may or may not be affected for reasons involving the commercial and multifamily real estate markets and may be affected for reasons that are unknown and cannot be discerned.

You should consider that the foregoing factors may adversely affect the performance of the mortgage loans and accordingly the performance of the offered certificates.

Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans

Mortgage Loans Are Non-Recourse and Are Not Insured or Guaranteed

The mortgage loans are not insured or guaranteed by any person or entity, governmental or otherwise, unrelated to the related borrowers.

Investors should treat each mortgage loan as a non-recourse loan. If a default occurs on a non-recourse loan, recourse generally may be had only against the specific mortgaged properties and other assets that have been pledged to secure the mortgage loan. Consequently, payment prior to maturity is dependent primarily on the sufficiency of the net operating income of the mortgaged property. Payment at maturity or an anticipated repayment date is primarily dependent upon the market value of the mortgaged property or the borrower’s ability to refinance or sell the mortgaged property.

Although the mortgage loans generally are non-recourse in nature, certain mortgage loans contain non-recourse carveouts for liabilities such as liabilities as a result of fraud by the borrower, certain voluntary insolvency proceedings or other matters. Certain mortgage loans set forth under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Non-Recourse Carveout Limitations” either do not contain non-recourse carveouts or contain material limitations to non-recourse carveouts. Often these obligations are guaranteed by an affiliate of the related borrower, although liability under any such guaranty may be capped or otherwise limited in amount or scope. Furthermore, certain guarantors may be foreign entities or individuals which, while subject to the domestic governing law provisions in the guaranty and related mortgage loan documents, could nevertheless require enforcement of any judgment in relation to a guaranty in a foreign jurisdiction, which could, in turn, cause a significant time delay or result in the inability to enforce the guaranty under foreign law. Additionally, the guarantor’s net worth and liquidity may be less (and in some cases, materially less) than amounts due under the related mortgage loan or the guarantor’s sole asset may be its interest in the related borrower. Certain mortgage loans may have the benefit of a general payment guaranty of all or a portion of the indebtedness under the mortgage loan. In all cases, however, the mortgage loans should be considered to be non-recourse obligations because neither the depositor nor the sponsors make any

60 

representation or warranty as to the obligation or ability of any borrower or guarantor to pay any deficiencies between any foreclosure proceeds and the mortgage loan indebtedness. In addition, certain mortgage loans may provide for recourse to a guarantor for all or a portion of the indebtedness or for any loss or costs that may be incurred by the borrower or the lender with respect to certain borrower obligations under the related mortgage loan documents. In such cases, we cannot assure you any recovery from such guarantor will be made or that such guarantor will have assets sufficient to pay any otherwise recoverable claim under a guaranty.

Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally

The mortgage loans will be secured by various income-producing commercial and multifamily properties. The repayment of a commercial or multifamily loan is typically dependent upon the ability of the related mortgaged property to produce cash flow through the collection of rents. Even the liquidation value of a commercial property is determined, in substantial part, by the capitalization of the property’s ability to produce cash flow. However, net operating income can be volatile and may be insufficient to cover debt service on the loan at any given time.

The net operating incomes and property values of the mortgaged properties may be adversely affected by a large number of factors. Some of these factors relate to the properties themselves, such as:

● the age, design and construction quality of the properties;

● perceptions regarding the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the properties;

● the characteristics and desirability of the area where the property is located;

● the strength and nature of the local economy, including labor costs and quality, tax environment and quality of life for employees;

● the proximity and attractiveness of competing properties;

● the adequacy of the property’s management and maintenance;

● increases in interest rates, real estate taxes and operating expenses at the property and in relation to competing properties;

● an increase in the capital expenditures needed to maintain the properties or make improvements;

● the dependence upon a single tenant or concentration of tenants in a particular business or industry;

● a decline in the businesses operated by tenants or in their financial condition;

● an increase in vacancy rates; and

● a decline in rental rates as leases are renewed or entered into with new tenants.

Other factors are more general in nature, such as:

● national or regional economic conditions, including plant closings, military base closings, industry slowdowns, oil and/or gas drilling facility slowdowns or closings and unemployment rates;

61 

● local real estate conditions, such as an oversupply of competing properties, retail space, office space, multifamily housing or hotel capacity;

● demographic factors;

● consumer confidence;

● consumer tastes and preferences;

● political factors;

● environmental factors;

● seismic activity risk;

● retroactive changes in building codes;

● changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments;

● location of certain mortgaged properties in less densely populated or less affluent areas; and

● the public perception of safety for customers and clients.

The volatility of net operating income will be influenced by many of the foregoing factors, as well as by:

● the length of tenant leases (including that in certain cases, all or substantially all of the tenants, or one or more sole, anchor or other major tenants, at a particular mortgaged property may have leases that expire or permit the tenant(s) to terminate its lease during the term of the loan);

● the quality and creditworthiness of tenants;

● tenant defaults;

● in the case of rental properties, the rate at which new rentals occur; and

● the property’s “operating leverage”, which is generally the percentage of total property expenses in relation to revenue, the ratio of fixed operating expenses to those that vary with revenues, and the level of capital expenditures required to maintain the property and to retain or replace tenants.

A decline in the real estate market or in the financial condition of a major tenant will tend to have a more immediate effect on the net operating income of properties with relatively higher operating leverage or short term revenue sources, such as short term or month-to-month leases, and may lead to higher rates of delinquency or defaults.

Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases

General

Any tenant may, from time to time, experience a downturn in its business, which may weaken its financial condition and result in a reduction or failure to make rental payments when due. Tenants under certain leases included in the underwritten net cash flow,

62 

underwritten net operating income or occupancy may nonetheless be in financial distress. If tenants’ sales were to decline, percentage rents may decline and, further, tenants may be unable to pay their base rent or other occupancy costs. If a tenant defaults in its obligations to a property owner, that property owner may experience delays in enforcing its rights as lessor and may incur substantial costs and experience significant delays associated with protecting its investment, including costs incurred in renovating and reletting the property.

Additionally, the income from, and market value of, the mortgaged properties leased to various tenants would be adversely affected if:

● space in the mortgaged properties could not be leased or re-leased or substantial re-leasing costs were required and/or the cost of performing landlord obligations under existing leases materially increased;

● leasing or re-leasing is restricted by exclusive rights of tenants to lease the mortgaged properties or other covenants not to lease space for certain uses or activities, or covenants limiting the types of tenants to which space may be leased;

● a significant tenant were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case;

● rental payments could not be collected for any other reason; or

● a borrower fails to perform its obligations under a lease resulting in the related tenant having a right to terminate such lease.

In addition, certain tenants may be part of a chain that is in financial distress as a whole, or the tenant’s parent company may have implemented or expressed an intent to implement a plan to consolidate or reorganize its operations, close a number of stores in the chain, reduce exposure, relocate stores or otherwise reorganize its business to cut costs.

There may be (and there may exist from time to time) pending or threatened legal proceedings against, or disputes with, certain tenants and/or their parent companies that may have a material adverse effect on the related tenant’s ability to pay rent or remain open for business. We cannot assure you that any such litigation or dispute will not result in a material decline in net operating income at the related mortgaged property.

Certain tenants currently may be in a rent abatement period. We cannot assure you that such tenants will be in a position to pay full rent when the abatement period expires. We cannot assure you that the net operating income contributed by the mortgaged properties will remain at its current or past levels.

A Tenant Concentration May Result in Increased Losses

Mortgaged properties that are owner-occupied or leased to a single tenant, or a tenant that makes up a significant portion of the rental income, also are more susceptible to interruptions of cash flow if that tenant’s business operations are negatively impacted or if such tenant fails to renew its lease. This is so because:

● the financial effect of the absence of rental income may be severe;

● more time may be required to re-lease the space; and

● substantial capital costs may be incurred to make the space appropriate for replacement tenants.

63 

In the event of a default by that tenant, if the related lease expires prior to the mortgage loan maturity date and the related tenant fails to renew its lease or if such tenant exercises an early termination option, there would likely be an interruption of rental payments under the lease and, accordingly, insufficient funds available to the borrower to pay the debt service on the mortgage loan. In certain cases where the tenant owns the improvements on the mortgaged property, the related borrower may be required to purchase such improvements in connection with the exercise of its remedies.

With respect to certain of these mortgaged properties that are leased to a single tenant, the related leases may expire prior to, or soon after, the maturity dates of the mortgage loans or the related tenant may have the right to terminate the lease prior to the maturity date of the mortgage loan. If the current tenant does not renew its lease on comparable economic terms to the expired lease, if a single tenant terminates its lease or if a suitable replacement tenant does not enter into a new lease on similar economic terms, there could be a negative impact on the payments on the related mortgage loan.

A deterioration in the financial condition of a tenant, the failure of a tenant to renew its lease or the exercise by a tenant of an early termination right can be particularly significant if a mortgaged property is owner-occupied, leased to a single tenant, or if any tenant makes up a significant portion of the rental income at the mortgaged property.

Concentrations of particular tenants among the mortgaged properties or within a particular business or industry at one or multiple mortgaged properties increase the possibility that financial problems with such tenants or such business or industry sectors could affect the mortgage loans. In addition, the mortgage loans may be adversely affected if a tenant at the mortgaged property is highly specialized, or dependent on a single industry or only a few customers for its revenue. See “—Tenant Bankruptcy Could Result in a Rejection of the Related Lease” below, and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Tenant Concentrations” for information on tenant concentrations in the mortgage pool.

Mortgaged Properties Leased to Multiple Tenants Also Have Risks

If a mortgaged property has multiple tenants, re-leasing expenditures may be more frequent than in the case of mortgaged properties with fewer tenants, thereby reducing the cash flow available for payments on the related mortgage loan. Multi-tenant mortgaged properties also may experience higher continuing vacancy rates and greater volatility in rental income and expenses. See Annex A-1 for tenant lease expiration dates for the 5 largest tenants at each mortgaged property.

Mortgaged Properties Leased to Borrowers or Borrower Affiliated Entities Also Have Risks

If a mortgaged property is leased in whole or substantial part to the borrower under the mortgage loan or to an affiliate of the borrower, there may be conflicts of interest. For instance, it is more likely a landlord will waive lease conditions for an affiliated tenant than it would for an unaffiliated tenant. We cannot assure you that the conflicts of interest arising where a borrower is affiliated with a tenant at a mortgaged property will not adversely impact the value of the related mortgage loan.

In certain cases, an affiliated lessee may be a tenant under a master lease with the related borrower, under which the tenant is obligated to make rent payments but does not occupy any space at the mortgaged property. Master leases in these circumstances may be used to bring occupancy to a “stabilized” level with the intent of finding additional tenants to occupy some or all of the master leased space, but may not provide additional economic

64 

support for the mortgage loan. If a mortgaged property is leased in whole or substantial part to the borrower or to an affiliate of the borrower, a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower or its affiliate could significantly affect the borrower’s ability to perform under the mortgage loan as it would directly interrupt the cash flow from the mortgaged property if the borrower’s or its affiliate’s financial condition worsens. We cannot assure you that any space leased by a borrower or an affiliate of the borrower will eventually be occupied by third party tenants.

See “—Hotel Properties Have Special Risks” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Affiliated Leases” for information on properties leased in whole or in part to borrowers and their affiliates.

Tenant Bankruptcy Could Result in a Rejection of the Related Lease

The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant or a number of smaller tenants, such as in retail properties, may have an adverse impact on the mortgaged properties affected and the income produced by such mortgaged properties. Under the federal bankruptcy code, a tenant has the option of assuming or rejecting or, subject to certain conditions, assuming and assigning to a third party, any unexpired lease. If the tenant rejects the lease, the landlord’s claim for breach of the lease would (absent collateral securing the claim) be treated as a general unsecured claim against the tenant and a lessor’s damages for lease rejection are generally subject to certain limitations. We cannot assure you that tenants of the mortgaged properties will continue making payments under their leases or that tenants will not file for bankruptcy protection in the future or, if any tenants do file, that they will continue to make rental payments in a timely manner. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Foreclosure—Bankruptcy Laws”. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Loan Purpose; Default History, Bankruptcy Issues and Other Proceedings” for information regarding bankruptcy issues with respect to certain mortgage loans.

In the case of certain mortgage loans included in the mortgage pool, it may be possible that the related master lease could be construed in a bankruptcy as a financing lease or other arrangement under which the related master lessee (and/or its affiliates) would be deemed as effectively the owner of the related mortgaged property, rather than a tenant, which could result in potentially adverse consequences for the trust, as the holder of such mortgage loan, including a potentially greater risk of an unfavorable plan of reorganization and competing claims of creditors of the related master lessee and/or its affiliates. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Affiliated Leases”.

Leases That Are Not Subordinated to the Lien of the Mortgage or Do Not Contain Attornment Provisions May Have an Adverse Impact at Foreclosure

In certain jurisdictions, if tenant leases are subordinated to the liens created by the mortgage but do not contain attornment provisions that require the tenant to recognize a successor owner, the tenants may terminate their leases upon the transfer of the property to a foreclosing lender or purchaser at foreclosure. Accordingly, if a mortgaged property is located in such a jurisdiction and is leased to one or more desirable tenants under leases that are subordinate to the mortgage and do not contain attornment provisions, such mortgaged property could experience a further decline in value if such tenants’ leases were terminated. This is particularly likely if those tenants were paying above-market rents or could not be replaced. If a lease is not subordinate to a mortgage, the issuing entity will not possess the right to dispossess the tenant upon foreclosure of the mortgaged property (unless otherwise agreed to with the tenant). Also, if the lease contains provisions inconsistent with the mortgage (e.g., provisions relating to application of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards) or which could affect the enforcement of the lender’s

65 

rights (e.g., a right of first refusal to purchase the property), the provisions of the lease will take precedence over the provisions of the mortgage. Not all leases were reviewed to ascertain the existence of attornment or subordination provisions.

With respect to certain of the mortgage loans, the related borrower may have given to certain tenants or others an option to purchase, a right of first refusal and/or a right of first offer to purchase all or a portion of the mortgaged property in the event a sale is contemplated, and such right is not subordinate to the related mortgage. This may impede the mortgagee’s ability to sell the related mortgaged property at foreclosure, or, upon foreclosure, this may affect the value and/or marketability of the related mortgaged property. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Purchase Options and Rights of First Refusal” for information regarding material purchase options and/or rights of first refusal, if any, with respect to mortgaged properties securing certain mortgage loans.

Early Lease Termination Options May Reduce Cash Flow

Leases often give tenants the right to terminate the related lease, abate or reduce the related rent, and/or exercise certain remedies against the related borrower for various reasons or upon various conditions, including:

● if the borrower for the applicable mortgaged property allows uses at the mortgaged property in violation of use restrictions in current tenant leases,

● if the borrower or any of its affiliates owns other properties within a certain radius of the mortgaged property and allows uses at those properties in violation of use restrictions,

● if the related borrower fails to provide a designated number of parking spaces,

● if there is construction at the related mortgaged property or an adjacent property (whether or not such adjacent property is owned or controlled by the borrower or any of its affiliates) that may interfere with visibility of, access to or a tenant’s use of the mortgaged property or otherwise violate the terms of a tenant’s lease,

● upon casualty or condemnation with respect to all or a portion of the mortgaged property that renders such mortgaged property unsuitable for a tenant’s use or if the borrower fails to rebuild such mortgaged property within a certain time,

● if a tenant’s use is not permitted by zoning or applicable law,

● if the tenant is unable to exercise an expansion right,

● if the landlord defaults on its obligations under the lease,

● if a landlord leases space at the mortgaged property or within a certain radius of the mortgaged property to a competitor,

● if the tenant fails to meet certain sales targets or other business objectives for a specified period of time,

● if significant tenants at the subject property go dark or terminate their leases, or if a specified percentage of the mortgaged property is unoccupied,

● if the landlord violates the tenant’s exclusive use rights for a specified period of time,

66 

● if the related borrower violates covenants under the related lease or if third parties take certain actions that adversely affect such tenants’ business or operations,

● in the case of government sponsored tenants, at any time or for lack of appropriations, or

● if the related borrower violates covenants under the related lease or if third parties take certain actions that adversely affect such tenants’ business or operations.

In certain cases, compliance or satisfaction of landlord covenants may be the responsibility of a third party affiliated with the borrower or, in the event that partial releases of the applicable mortgaged property are permitted, an unaffiliated or affiliated third party.

Any exercise of a termination right by a tenant at a mortgaged property could result in vacant space at the related mortgaged property, renegotiation of the lease with the related tenant or re-letting of the space. Any such vacated space may not be re-let. Furthermore, such foregoing termination and/or abatement rights may arise in the future or materially adversely affect the related borrower’s ability to meet its obligations under the related mortgage loan documents. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Lease Expirations and Terminations” for information on material tenant lease expirations and early termination options.

Mortgaged Properties Leased to Not-for-Profit Tenants Also Have Risks

Certain mortgaged properties may have tenants that are charitable institutions that generally rely on contributions from individuals and government grants or other subsidies to pay rent on office space and other operating expenses. We cannot assure you that the rate, frequency and level of individual contributions or governmental grants and subsidies will continue with respect to any such institution. A reduction in contributions or grants may impact the ability of the related institution to pay rent, and we cannot assure you that the related borrower will be in a position to meet its obligations under the related mortgage loan documents if such tenant fails to pay its rent.

Retail Properties Have Special Risks

Some of the mortgage loans are secured by retail properties. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Retail Properties.” The value of retail properties is significantly affected by the quality of the tenants as well as fundamental aspects of real estate, such as location and market demographics, and by changes in shopping methods and choices. Some of the risks related to these matters are further described in “—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally” and “—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases” above, and “—Some Retail Properties Depend on Anchor Stores or Major Tenants to Attract Shoppers and Could be Materially Adversely Affected by the Loss of, or a Store Closure by, One or More of These Anchor Stores or Major Tenants” below.

Rental payments from tenants of retail properties typically comprise the largest portion of the net operating income of those mortgaged properties. The correlation between success of tenant business and a retail property’s value may be more direct with respect to retail properties than other types of commercial property because a component of the total rent paid by certain retail tenants is often tied to a percentage of gross sales. We cannot assure you that the net operating income contributed by the retail mortgaged properties or

67 

the rates of occupancy at the retail stores will remain at the levels specified in this prospectus or remain consistent with past performance.

Changes in the Retail Sector, Such as Online Shopping and Other Uses of Technology, Could Affect the Business Models and Viability of Retailers.

Online shopping and the use of technology, such as smartphone shopping applications, to transact purchases or to aid purchasing decisions have increased in recent years and are expected to continue to increase in the future. This trend is affecting business models, sales and profitability of some retailers and could adversely affect the demand for retail real estate and occupancy at retail properties securing the mortgage loans. Any resulting decreases in rental revenue could have a material adverse effect on the value of retail properties securing the mortgage loans.

Some of these developments in the retail sector have led to many retailers, including several national retailers, filing for bankruptcy and/or voluntarily closing certain of their stores. Borrowers may be unable to re-lease such space or to re-lease it on comparable or more favorable terms. As a result, the bankruptcy or closure of a national tenant may adversely affect a retail borrower’s revenues. In addition, such closings may allow other tenants to modify their leases to terms that are less favorable for borrowers or to terminate their leases, also adversely impacting their revenues. See also “—Some Retail Properties Depend on Anchor Stores or Major Tenants to Attract Shoppers and Could be Materially Adversely Affected by the Loss of, or a Store Closure by, One or More of These Anchor Stores or Major Tenants” below.

In addition to competition from online shopping, retail properties face competition from sources outside a specific geographical real estate market. For example, all of the following compete with more traditional retail properties for consumer dollars: factory outlet centers, discount shopping centers and clubs, catalog retailers, home shopping networks, and telemarketing. Continued growth of these alternative retail outlets (which often have lower operating costs) could adversely affect the rents collectible at the retail properties included in the pool of mortgage loans, as well as the income from, and market value of, the mortgaged properties and the related borrower’s ability to refinance such property. Moreover, additional competing retail properties may be built in the areas where the retail properties are located.

We cannot assure you that these developments in the retail sector will not adversely affect the performance of retail properties securing the mortgage loans.

The Performance of the Retail Properties is Subject to Conditions Affecting the Retail Sector.

Retail properties are also subject to conditions that could negatively affect the retail sector, such as increased unemployment, increased federal income and payroll taxes, increased health care costs, increased state and local taxes, increased real estate taxes, industry slowdowns, lack of availability of consumer credit, weak income growth, increased levels of consumer debt, poor housing market conditions, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, plant closings, and other factors. Similarly, local real estate conditions, such as an oversupply of, or a reduction in demand for, retail space or retail goods, and the supply and creditworthiness of current and prospective tenants may negatively impact those retail properties.

In addition, the limited adaptability of certain shopping malls that have proven unprofitable may result in high (and possibly extremely high) loss severities on mortgage

68 

loans secured by those shopping malls. For example, it is possible that a significant amount of advances made by the applicable servicer(s) of a mortgage loan secured by a shopping mall property, combined with low liquidation proceeds in respect of that property, may result in a loss severity exceeding 100% of the outstanding principal balance of that mortgage loan.

Some Retail Properties Depend on Anchor Stores or Major Tenants to Attract Shoppers and Could be Materially Adversely Affected by the Loss of, or a Store Closure by, One or More of These Anchor Stores or Major Tenants.

The presence or absence of an “anchor tenant” or a “shadow anchor tenant” in or near a retail property also can be important to the performance of a retail property because anchors play a key role in generating customer traffic and making a retail property desirable for other tenants. Retail properties may also have shadow anchor tenants. An “anchor tenant” is located on the related mortgaged property, usually proportionately larger in size than most or all other tenants at the mortgaged property, and is vital in attracting customers to a retail property. A “shadow anchor tenant” is usually proportionally larger in size than most tenants at the mortgaged property, is important in attracting customers to a retail property and is located sufficiently close and convenient to the mortgaged property so as to influence and attract potential customers, but is not located on the mortgaged property.

If anchor stores in a mortgaged property were to close, the related borrower may be unable to replace those anchors in a timely manner or without suffering adverse economic consequences. In addition, anchor tenants and non-anchor tenants at anchored or shadow anchored retail centers may have co-tenancy clauses and/or operating covenants in their leases or operating agreements that permit those tenants or anchor stores to cease operating, reduce rent or terminate their leases if the anchor tenant, the shadow anchor tenant or another major tenant goes dark, a specified percentage of the property is vacant or if the subject store is not meeting the minimum sales requirement under its lease. Even if non-anchor tenants do not have termination or rent abatement rights, the loss of an anchor tenant or a shadow anchor tenant may have a material adverse impact on the non-anchor tenant’s ability to operate because the anchor tenant or shadow anchor tenant plays a key role in generating customer traffic and making a center desirable for other tenants. This, in turn, may adversely impact the borrower’s ability to meet its obligations under the related mortgage loan documents. In addition, in the event that a “shadow anchor” fails to renew its lease, terminates its lease or otherwise ceases to conduct business within a close proximity to the mortgaged property, customer traffic at the mortgaged property may be substantially reduced. If an anchor tenant goes dark, generally the borrower’s only remedy may be to terminate that lease after the anchor tenant has been dark for a specified amount of time.

Certain anchor tenants may have the right to demolish and rebuild, or substantially alter, their premises. Exercise of such rights may result in disruptions at the mortgaged property or reduce traffic to the mortgaged property, may trigger co-tenancy clauses if such activities result in the anchor tenants being dark for the period specified in the cotenancy clause, and may result in reduced value of the structure or in loss of the structure if the tenant fails to rebuild.

If anchor tenants or shadow anchor tenants at a particular mortgaged property were to close or otherwise become vacant or remain vacant, we cannot assure you that the related borrower’s ability to repay its mortgage loan would not be materially and adversely affected.

69 

Certain anchor tenant and tenant estoppels will have been obtained in connection with the origination of the mortgage loans. These estoppels may identify disputes between the related borrower and the applicable anchor tenant or tenant, or alleged defaults or potential defaults by the applicable property owner under the lease or a reciprocal easement and/or operating agreement (each, an “REA”). Such disputes, defaults or potential defaults could lead to a termination or attempted termination of the applicable lease or REA by the anchor tenant or tenant, the tenant withholding some or all of its rental payments or litigation against the related borrower. We cannot assure you that the anchor tenant or tenant estoppels obtained identify all potential disputes that may arise with respect to the retail mortgaged properties, or that anchor tenant or tenant disputes will not have a material adverse effect on the ability of borrowers to repay their mortgage loans.

Certain retail properties have specialty use tenants. See “—Some Mortgaged Properties May Not Be Readily Convertible to Alternative Uses” below. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Retail Properties” and “—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Specialty Use Concentrations”.

Office Properties Have Special Risks

In addition to the factors discussed in “—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally” and “—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases” above, other factors may adversely affect the financial performance and value of office properties, including:

● the physical attributes of the building in relation to competing buildings (e.g., age, condition, design, appearance, access to transportation and ability to offer certain amenities, such as sophisticated building systems and/or business wiring requirements);

● the adaptability of the building to changes in the technological needs of the tenants;

● an adverse change in population, patterns of telecommuting or sharing of office space, and employment growth (which creates demand for office space); and

● in the case of a medical office property, (a) the proximity of such property to a hospital or other healthcare establishment, (b) reimbursements for patient fees from private or government sponsored insurers, (c) its ability to attract doctors and nurses to be on staff, and (d) its ability to afford and acquire the latest medical equipment. Issues related to reimbursement (ranging from nonpayment to delays in payment) from such insurers could adversely impact cash flow at such mortgaged property.

Moreover, the cost of refitting office space for a new tenant is often higher than the cost of refitting other types of properties for new tenants.

If one or more major tenants at a particular office property were to close or remain vacant, we cannot assure you that such tenants would be replaced in a timely manner or without incurring material additional costs to the related borrower and resulting in an adverse effect on the financial performance of the property.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Office Properties”.

Industrial Properties Have Special Risks

In addition to the factors discussed in “—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally” and “—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases” above, other factors may adversely affect the financial performance and value of industrial properties, including:

● reduced demand for industrial space because of a decline in a particular industry segment;

● the property becoming functionally obsolete;

● building design and adaptability;

● unavailability of labor sources;

● changes in access, energy prices, strikes, relocation of highways, the construction of additional highways or other factors;

● changes in proximity of supply sources;

● the expenses of converting a previously adapted space to general use; and

● the location of the property.

Industrial properties may be adversely affected by reduced demand for industrial space occasioned by a decline in a particular industry segment in which the related tenants conduct their businesses (for example, a decline in consumer demand for products sold by a tenant using the property as a distribution center). In addition, a particular industrial or warehouse property that suited the needs of its original tenant may be difficult to relet to another tenant or may become functionally obsolete relative to newer properties. Furthermore, lease terms with respect to industrial properties are generally for shorter periods of time and may result in a substantial percentage of leases expiring in the same year at any particular industrial property. In addition, mortgaged properties used for many industrial purposes are more prone to environmental concerns than other property types.

Aspects of building site design and adaptability affect the value of an industrial property. Site characteristics that are generally desirable to a warehouse/industrial property include high clear ceiling heights, wide column spacing, a large number of bays (loading docks) and large bay depths, divisibility, a layout that can accommodate large truck minimum turning radii and overall functionality and accessibility.

In addition, because of unique construction requirements of many industrial properties, any vacant industrial property space may not be easily converted to other uses. Thus, if the operation of any of the industrial properties becomes unprofitable due to competition, age of the improvements or other factors such that the borrower becomes unable to meet its obligations on the related mortgage loan, the liquidation value of that industrial property may be substantially less, relative to the amount owing on the related mortgage loan, than would be the case if the industrial property were readily adaptable to other uses.

Location is also important because an industrial property requires the availability of labor sources, proximity to supply sources and customers and accessibility to rail lines, major roadways and other distribution channels.

71 

Further, certain of the industrial properties may have tenants that are subject to risks unique to their business, such as cold storage facilities. Cold storage facilities may have unique risks such as short lease terms due to seasonal use, making income potentially more volatile than for properties with longer term leases, and customized refrigeration design, rendering such facilities less readily convertible to alternative uses.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Industrial Properties”.

Hotel Properties Have Special Risks

In addition to the factors discussed in “—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally” above, various other factors may adversely affect the financial performance and value of hotel properties, including:

● adverse economic and social conditions, either local, regional or national (which may limit the amount that can be charged for a room and reduce occupancy levels);

● continuing expenditures for modernizing, refurbishing and maintaining existing facilities prior to the expiration of their anticipated useful lives;

● ability to convert to alternative uses which may not be readily made;

● a deterioration in the financial strength or managerial capabilities of the owner or operator of a hotel property;

● changes in travel patterns caused by general adverse economic conditions, fear of terrorist attacks, adverse weather conditions and changes in access, energy prices, strikes, travel costs, relocation of highways, the construction of additional highways, concerns about travel safety or other factors;

● relative illiquidity of hospitality investments which limits the ability of the borrowers and property managers to respond to changes in economic or other conditions; and

● competition.

Because hotel rooms are generally rented for short periods of time, the financial performance of hotel properties tends to be affected by adverse economic conditions and competition more quickly than other commercial properties. Additionally, as a result of high operating costs, relatively small decreases in revenue can cause significant stress on a property’s cash flow.

Moreover, the hospitality and lodging industry is generally seasonal in nature and different seasons affect different hotel properties differently depending on type and location. This seasonality can be expected to cause periodic fluctuations in a hotel property’s room and restaurant revenues, occupancy levels, room rates and operating expenses. We cannot assure you that cash flow will be sufficient to offset any shortfalls that occur at the mortgaged property during slower periods or that the related mortgage loans provide for seasonality reserves, or if seasonality reserves are provided for, that such reserves will be funded or will be sufficient or available to fund such shortfalls.

In addition, certain hotel properties are limited-service, select service or extended stay hotels. Hotel properties that are limited-service, select service or extended stay hotels may subject a lender to more risk than full-service hotel properties as they generally require less capital for construction than full-service hotel properties. In addition, as limited-service,

72 

select service or extended stay hotels generally offer fewer amenities than full-service hotel properties, they are less distinguishable from each other. As a result, it is easier for limited-service, select service or extended stay hotels to experience increased or unforeseen competition.

In addition to hotel operations, some hotel properties also operate entertainment complexes that include restaurants, lounges, nightclubs and/or banquet and meeting spaces and may derive a significant portion of the related property’s revenue from such operations. Consumer demand for entertainment resorts is particularly sensitive to downturns in the economy and the corresponding impact on discretionary spending on leisure activities. Changes in discretionary consumer spending or consumer preferences could be driven by factors such as perceived or actual general economic conditions, high energy, fuel and food costs, the increased cost of travel, the weakened job market, perceived or actual disposable consumer income and wealth, fears of recession and changes in consumer confidence in the economy, or fears of war and future acts of terrorism. These factors could reduce consumer demand for the leisure activities that the property offers, thus imposing practical limits on pricing and harming operations. Restaurants and nightclubs are particularly vulnerable to changes in consumer preferences. In addition, a nightclub’s, restaurant’s or bar’s revenue is extremely dependent on its popularity and perception. These characteristics are subject to change rapidly and we cannot assure you that any of a hotel property’s nightclubs, restaurants or bars will maintain their current level of popularity or perception in the market. Any such change could have a material adverse effect on the net cash flow of the property.

Some of the hotel properties have liquor licenses associated with the mortgaged property. The liquor licenses for these mortgaged properties are generally held by affiliates of the related borrowers, unaffiliated managers or operating lessees. The laws and regulations relating to liquor licenses generally prohibit the transfer of such licenses to any person, or condition such transfer on the prior approval of the governmental authority that issued the license. In the event of a foreclosure of a hotel property that holds a liquor license, the special servicer on behalf of the issuing entity or a purchaser in a foreclosure sale would likely have to apply for a new license, which might not be granted or might be granted only after a delay that could be significant. We cannot assure you that a new license could be obtained promptly or at all. The lack of a liquor license in a hotel property could have an adverse impact on the revenue from the related mortgaged property or on the hotel property’s occupancy rate.

In addition, hospitality properties may be structured with a master lease (or operating lease) in order to minimize potential liabilities of the borrower. Under the master lease structure, an operating lessee (typically affiliated with the borrower) is also an obligor under the related mortgage loan and the operating lessee borrower pays rent to the fee owner borrower. See “—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases—Mortgaged Properties Leased to Borrowers or Borrower Affiliated Entities Also Have Risks” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Affiliated Leases”.

In addition, there may be risks associated with hotel properties that have not entered into or become a party to any franchise agreement, license agreement or other “flag”. Hotel properties often enter into these types of agreements in order to align the hotel property with a certain public perception or to benefit from a centralized reservation system. We cannot assure you that hotel properties that lack such benefits will be able to operate successfully on an independent basis.

73 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Hospitality Properties”.

Risks Relating to Affiliation with a Franchise or Hotel Management Company

The performance of a hotel property affiliated with a franchise or hotel management company depends in part on:

● the continued existence and financial strength of the franchisor or hotel management company;

● the public perception of the franchise or hotel chain service mark; and

● the duration of the franchise licensing or management agreements.

The continuation of a franchise agreement, license agreement or management agreement is subject to specified operating standards and other terms and conditions set forth in such agreements. The failure of a borrower to maintain such standards or adhere to other applicable terms and conditions, such as property improvement plans, could result in the loss or cancellation of their rights under the franchise, license or hotel management agreement. We cannot assure you that a replacement franchise could be obtained in the event of termination or that such replacement franchise affiliation would be of equal quality to the terminated franchise affiliation. In addition, a replacement franchise, license and/or hotel property manager may require significantly higher fees as well as the investment of capital to bring the hotel property into compliance with the requirements of the replacement franchisor, licensor and/or hotel property manager. Any provision in a franchise agreement, license agreement or management agreement providing for termination because of a bankruptcy of a franchisor, licensor or manager generally will not be enforceable.

The transferability of franchise agreements, license agreements and property management agreements may be restricted. In the event of a foreclosure, the lender may not have the right to use the franchise license without the franchisor’s consent or the manager might be able to terminate the management agreement. Conversely, in the case of certain mortgage loans, the lender may be unable to remove a franchisor/licensor or a hotel management company that it desires to replace following a foreclosure and, further, may be limited as regards the pool of potential transferees for a foreclosure or real estate owned property.

In some cases where a hotel property is subject to a license, franchise or management agreement, the licensor, franchisor or manager has required or may in the future require the completion of various repairs and/or renovations pursuant to a property improvement plan issued by the licensor, franchisor or manager. Failure to complete those repairs and/or renovations in accordance with the plan could result in the hotel property losing its license or franchise or in the termination of the management agreement. Annex A-1 and the related footnotes set forth the amount of reserves, if any, established under the related mortgage loans in connection with any of those repairs and/or renovations. We cannot assure you that any amounts reserved will be sufficient to complete the repairs and/or renovations required with respect to any affected hotel property. In addition, in some cases, those reserves will be maintained by the franchisor, licensor or property manager. Furthermore, the lender may not require a reserve for repairs and/or renovations in all instances.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Hospitality Properties”.

74 

Multifamily Properties Have Special Risks

In addition to the factors discussed in “—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally” and “—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases” above, other factors may adversely affect the financial performance and value of multifamily properties, including:

● the quality of property management;

● the ability of management to provide adequate maintenance and insurance;

● the types of services or amenities that the property provides;

● the property’s reputation;

● the level of mortgage interest rates, which may encourage tenants to purchase rather than lease housing;

● the generally short terms of residential leases and the need for continued reletting;

● rent concessions and month-to-month leases, which may impact cash flow at the property;

● the tenant mix, such as the tenant population being predominantly students or being heavily dependent on workers from a particular business or industry or personnel from or workers related to a local military base or oil and/or gas drilling industries;

● in the case of student housing facilities or properties leased primarily to students, which may be more susceptible to damage or wear and tear than other types of multifamily housing, the reliance on the financial well-being of the college or university to which it relates, competition from on campus housing units, which may adversely affect occupancy, the physical layout of the housing, which may not be readily convertible to traditional multifamily use, and that student tenants have a higher turnover rate than other types of multifamily tenants, which in certain cases is compounded by the fact that student leases are available for periods of less than 12 months;

● certain multifamily properties may be considered to be “flexible apartment properties”. Such properties have a significant percentage of units leased to tenants under short-term leases (less than one year in term), which creates a higher turnover rate than for other types of multifamily properties;

● restrictions on the age or income of tenants who may reside at the property;

● dependence upon governmental programs that provide rent subsidies to tenants pursuant to tenant voucher programs, which vouchers may be used at other properties and influence tenant mobility;

● adverse local, regional or national economic conditions, which may limit the amount of rent that may be charged and may result in a reduction of timely rent payments or a reduction in occupancy levels;

● state and local regulations, which may affect the building owner’s ability to increase rent to market rent for an equivalent apartment; and

75 

● the existence of government assistance/rent subsidy programs, and whether or not they continue and provide the same level of assistance or subsidies.

Certain states regulate the relationship between an owner and its tenants. Commonly, these laws require a written lease, good cause for eviction, disclosure of fees, and notification to residents of changed land use, while prohibiting unreasonable rules, retaliatory evictions, and restrictions on a resident’s choice of unit vendors. Apartment building owners have been the subject of suits under state “Unfair and Deceptive Practices Acts” and other general consumer protection statutes for coercive, abusive or unconscionable leasing and sales practices. A few states offer more significant protection. For example, in some states, there are provisions that limit the bases on which a landlord may terminate a tenancy or increase a tenant’s rent or prohibit a landlord from terminating a tenancy solely by reason of the sale of the owner’s building.

In addition to state regulation of the landlord tenant relationship, numerous counties and municipalities impose rent control on apartment buildings. These ordinances may limit rent increases to fixed percentages, to percentages of increases in the consumer price index, to increases set or approved by a governmental agency, or to increases determined through mediation or binding arbitration. Any limitations on a borrower’s ability to raise property rents may impair such borrower’s ability to repay its multifamily loan from its net operating income or the proceeds of a sale or refinancing of the related multifamily property.

Certain of the mortgage loans may be secured in the future by mortgaged properties that are subject to certain affordable housing covenants and other covenants and restrictions with respect to various tax credit, city, state and federal housing subsidies, rent stabilization or similar programs, in respect of various units within the mortgaged properties. The limitations and restrictions imposed by these programs could result in losses on the mortgage loans. In addition, in the event that the program is cancelled, it could result in less income for the project. These programs may include, among others:

● rent limitations that would adversely affect the ability of borrowers to increase rents to maintain the condition of their mortgaged properties and satisfy operating expenses; and

● tenant income restrictions that may reduce the number of eligible tenants in those mortgaged properties and result in a reduction in occupancy rates.

The difference in rents between subsidized or supported properties and other multifamily rental properties in the same area may not be a sufficient economic incentive for some eligible tenants to reside at a subsidized or supported property that may have fewer amenities or be less attractive as a residence. As a result, occupancy levels at a subsidized or supported property may decline, which may adversely affect the value and successful operation of such property.

Moreover, ongoing litigation concerning the status of rent-stabilized properties may adversely affect existing market rent units and a borrower’s ability to convert rent-stabilized units to market rent units in the future and may give rise to liability in connection with previously converted units. For example, the New York State Appellate Division, in Altman v. 285 West Fourth (1st Dept., 2015) held that in order to effectuate vacancy luxury deregulation, the legal rent had to be above the statutory deregulation threshold at the time the outgoing tenant vacated and the fact that the legal rent was above the statutory threshold at the time the incoming tenant moved in was not relevant.  The Altman case is currently on appeal and scheduled to be heard by the New York Court of Appeals. Certain

76 

of the mortgage loans are secured by mortgaged properties that include rent stabilized and/or rent controlled units. Additionally, certain units at such mortgaged properties were previously rent-stabilized units, but such units were converted to market rent units. If the New York Court of Appeals were to uphold the Altman decision, no assurances can be made as to the impact on the existing market rent units at any mortgaged property with rent stabilized and/or rent controlled units or the borrower’s liability in connection therewith.

In addition, New York City’s J-51 program is a tax exemption and/or abatement program for certain eligible multifamily properties. New York State courts have held in a series of decisions that a rent-stabilized apartment in a building for which the owner receives J-51 tax benefits is not subject to the luxury deregulation provisions of the rent stabilization law until the tax benefit expires or, if the lease contained a notice that the unit would be deregulated upon expiration of the tax benefit, until the apartment becomes vacant after expiration of the tax benefit, and that such holding could have retroactive effect. See Roberts v. Tishman Speyer Props., L.P., 13 N.Y.3d 270 (2009), and progeny, e.g., Roberts v. Tishman, 89 A.D. 3d 444 (1st Dep’t 2011); Borden v. 400 East 55th Street Assocs., 24 N.Y.3d 382 (2014). Two (2) multifamily Mortgaged Properties, collectively representing approximately 6.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, are located in the state of New York.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Multifamily Properties”.

Self Storage Properties Have Special Risks

In addition to the factors discussed in “—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally” above, other factors may adversely affect the financial performance and value of self storage properties, including:

● decreased demand;

● lack of proximity to apartment complexes or commercial users;

● apartment tenants moving to single family homes;

● decline in services rendered, including security;

● dependence on business activity ancillary to renting units;

● security concerns;

● age of improvements; or

● competition or other factors.

Self storage properties are considered vulnerable to competition, because both acquisition costs and break-even occupancy are relatively low. The conversion of self storage facilities to alternative uses would generally require substantial capital expenditures. Thus, if the operation of any of the self storage properties becomes unprofitable, the liquidation value of that self storage mortgaged property may be substantially less, relative to the amount owing on the mortgage loan, than if the self storage mortgaged property were readily adaptable to other uses. In addition, storage units are typically engaged for shorter time frames than traditional commercial leases for office or retail space.

Tenants at self storage properties tend to require and receive privacy, anonymity and efficient access, each of which may heighten environmental and other risks related to such

77 

property as the borrower may be unaware of the contents in any self storage unit. No environmental assessment of a self storage mortgaged property included an inspection of the contents of the self storage units at that mortgaged property, and there is no assurance that all of the units included in the self storage mortgaged properties are free from hazardous substances or other pollutants or contaminants or will remain so in the future.

Certain mortgage loans secured by self storage properties may be affiliated with a franchise company through a franchise agreement. The performance of a self storage property affiliated with a franchise company may be affected by the continued existence and financial strength of the franchisor, the public perception of a service mark, and the duration of the franchise agreement. The transferability of franchise license agreements is restricted. In the event of a foreclosure, the lender or its agent would not have the right to use the franchise license without the franchisor’s consent. In addition, certain self storage properties may derive a material portion of revenue from business activities ancillary to self storage such as truck rentals, parking fees and similar activities which require special use permits or other discretionary zoning approvals and/or from leasing a portion of the subject property for office or retail purposes. See Annex A-1 and the footnotes related thereto.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Self Storage Properties”.

Data Center Properties Have Special Risks

The primary function of a data center is to provide a secure location for back-up data storage. Data centers are subject to similar risks as office buildings. The value of a data center will be affected by its telecommunications capacity, availability of sufficient power, and availability of support systems including environmental, temperature and hazard risk control, physical security, and redundant backup systems. As data centers contain sensitive and highly costly equipment and connections, they are subject to heightened risk in the event of fire, natural disaster or terrorism. In addition, data centers can be the subject of build-to-suit construction to specific user requirements. As such, if the lease with a data center user is terminated for any reason, the cost and time to adapt the space to other users may be considerable. Further, data center properties may not be readily convertible (or convertible at all) to alternative uses if those properties were to become unprofitable, or if the leased spaces were to become vacant, for any reason. See “—Office Properties Have Special Risks” and “—Some Mortgaged Properties May Not Be Readily Convertible to Alternative Uses”.

Mixed Use Properties Have Special Risks

Certain properties are mixed use properties. Such mortgaged properties are subject to the risks relating to the property types described in “—Office Properties Have Special Risks”, “—Retail Properties Have Special Risks” and “—Some Mortgaged Properties May Not Be Readily Convertible to Alternative Uses”, as applicable. See Annex A-1 for the five largest tenants (by net rentable area leased) at each mixed use property. A mixed use property may be subject to additional risks, including the property manager’s inexperience in managing the different property types that comprise such mixed use property.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Mixed Use Properties”.

78 

Condominium Ownership May Limit Use and Improvements

The management and operation of a condominium is generally controlled by a condominium board representing the owners of the individual condominium units, subject to the terms of the related condominium rules or by-laws. Generally, the consent of a majority of the board members is required for any actions of the condominium board and a unit owner’s ability to control decisions of the board are generally related to the number of units owned by such owner as a percentage of the total number of units in the condominium. In certain cases, the related borrower does not have a majority of votes on the condominium board, which result in the related borrower not having control of the related condominium or owners association.

The board of managers or directors of the related condominium generally has discretion to make decisions affecting the condominium, and we cannot assure you that the related borrower under a mortgage loan secured by one or more interests in that condominium will have any control over decisions made by the related board of managers or directors. Even if a borrower or its designated board members, either through control of the appointment and voting of sufficient members of the related condominium board or by virtue of other provisions in the related condominium documents, has consent rights over actions by the related condominium associations or owners, we cannot assure you that the related condominium board will not take actions that would materially adversely affect the related borrower’s unit. Thus, decisions made by that board of managers or directors, including regarding assessments to be paid by the unit owners, insurance to be maintained on the condominium and many other decisions affecting the maintenance of that condominium, may have a significant adverse impact on the related mortgage loans in the issuing entity that are secured by mortgaged properties consisting of such condominium interests. We cannot assure you that the related board of managers or directors will always act in the best interests of the related borrower under the related mortgage loans.

The condominium board is generally responsible for administration of the affairs of the condominium, including providing for maintenance and repair of common areas, adopting rules and regulations regarding common areas, and obtaining insurance and repairing and restoring the common areas of the property after a casualty. Notwithstanding the insurance and casualty provisions of the related mortgage loan documents, the condominium board may have the right to control the use of casualty proceeds.

In addition, the condominium board generally has the right to assess individual unit owners for their share of expenses related to the operation and maintenance of the common elements. In the event that an owner of another unit fails to pay its allocated assessments, the related borrower may be required to pay such assessments in order to properly maintain and operate the common elements of the property. Although the condominium board generally may obtain a lien against any unit owner for common expenses that are not paid, such lien generally is extinguished if a lender takes possession pursuant to a foreclosure. Each unit owner is responsible for maintenance of its respective unit and retains essential operational control over its unit.

In addition, due to the nature of condominiums, a default on the part of the borrower with respect to such mortgaged properties will not allow the special servicer the same flexibility in realizing on the collateral as is generally available with respect to commercial properties that are not condominium units. The rights of other unit or property owners, the documents governing the management of the condominium units and the state and local laws applicable to condominium units must be considered. In addition, in the event of a casualty with respect to a condominium, due to the possible existence of multiple loss payees on any insurance policy covering such property, there could be a delay in the

79 

allocation of related insurance proceeds, if any. Consequently, servicing and realizing upon the collateral described above could subject the certificateholders to a greater delay, expense and risk than with respect to a mortgage loan secured by a commercial property that is not a condominium unit.

Certain condominium declarations and/or local laws provide for the withdrawal of a property from a condominium structure under certain circumstances. For example, the New York Condominium Act provides for a withdrawal of the property from a condominium structure by vote of 80% of unit owners. If the condominium is terminated, the building will be subject to an action for partition by any unit owner or lienor as if owned in common. This could cause an early and unanticipated prepayment of the mortgage loan. We cannot assure you that the proceeds from partition would be sufficient to satisfy borrower’s obligations under the mortgage loan. See also “—Risks Related to Zoning Non-Compliance and Use Restrictions” for certain risks relating to use restrictions imposed pursuant to condominium declarations or other condominium especially in a situation where the mortgaged property does not represent the entire condominium building.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Condominium Interests”.

Operation of a Mortgaged Property Depends on the Property Manager’s Performance

The successful operation of a real estate project depends upon the property manager’s performance and viability. The property manager is responsible for:

● responding to changes in the local market;

● planning and implementing the rental structure;

● operating the property and providing building services;

● managing operating expenses; and

● assuring that maintenance and capital improvements are carried out in a timely fashion.

Properties deriving revenues primarily from short term sources, such as hotel guests or short term or month-to-month leases, are generally more management intensive than properties leased to creditworthy tenants under long term leases.

Certain of the mortgaged properties will be managed by affiliates of the related borrower. If a mortgage loan is in default or undergoing special servicing, such relationship could disrupt the management of the related mortgaged property, which may adversely affect cash flow. However, the related mortgage loans will generally permit, in the case of mortgaged properties managed by borrower affiliates, the lender to remove the related property manager upon the occurrence of an event of default under the related mortgage loan beyond applicable cure periods (or, in some cases, in the event of a foreclosure following such default), and in some cases a decline in cash flow below a specified level or the failure to satisfy some other specified performance trigger.

80 

Concentrations Based on Property Type, Geography, Related Borrowers and Other Factors May Disproportionately Increase Losses

The effect of mortgage pool loan losses will be more severe if the losses relate to mortgage loans that account for a disproportionately large percentage of the pool’s aggregate principal balance. As mortgage loans pay down or properties are released, the remaining certificateholders may face a higher risk with respect to the diversity of property types and property characteristics and with respect to the number of borrowers.

See the table entitled “Range of Remaining Terms to Maturity or ARD as of the Cut-off Date” in Annex A-2 for a stratification of the remaining terms to maturity or anticipated repayment date of the mortgage loans. Because principal on the certificates is payable in sequential order of payment priority, and a class receives principal only after the preceding class(es) have been paid in full, classes that have a lower sequential priority are more likely to face these types of risks of concentration than classes with a higher sequential priority.

Several of the mortgage loans have cut-off date balances that are substantially higher than the average cut-off date balance. In general, concentrations in mortgage loans with larger-than-average balances can result in losses that are more severe, relative to the size of the mortgage loan pool, than would be the case if the aggregate balance of the mortgage loan pool were more evenly distributed.

A concentration of mortgage loans secured by the same mortgaged property types can increase the risk that a decline in a particular industry or business would have a disproportionately large impact on the pool of mortgage loans. Mortgaged property types representing more than 5.0% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date (based on allocated loan amount) are retail, office, industrial, hospitality, multifamily and self storage properties. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types” for information on the types of mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans in the mortgage pool.

Repayments by borrowers and the market value of the related mortgaged properties could be affected by economic conditions generally or specific to particular geographic areas or regions of the United States, and concentrations of mortgaged properties in particular geographic areas may increase the risk that conditions in the real estate market where the mortgaged property is located, or other adverse economic or other developments or natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, floods, forest fires, tornadoes or hurricanes or changes in governmental rules or fiscal policies) affecting a particular region of the country, could increase the frequency and severity of losses on mortgage loans secured by those mortgaged properties. As a result, areas affected by such events may experience disruptions in travel, transportation and tourism, loss of jobs, an overall decrease in consumer activity, or a decline in real estate-related investments. We cannot assure you that the economies in such impacted areas will recover sufficiently to support income-producing real estate at pre-event levels or that the costs of the related clean-up will not have a material adverse effect on the local or national economy. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Geographic Concentrations” in this prospectus. We cannot assure you that any hurricane damage would be covered by insurance.

Mortgaged properties securing 5.0% or more of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date (based on allocated loan amount) are located in Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, California, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Virginia. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Geographic Concentrations”.

81 

Some of the mortgaged properties are located in areas that, based on low population density, poor economic demographics (such as higher than average unemployment rates, lower than average annual household income and/or overall loss of jobs) and/or negative trends in such regards, would be considered secondary or tertiary markets.

A concentration of mortgage loans with the same borrower or related borrowers also can pose increased risks, such as:

● if a borrower that owns or controls several properties (whether or not all of them secure mortgage loans in the mortgage pool) experiences financial difficulty at one such property, it could defer maintenance at a mortgaged property or debt service payments on the related mortgage loan in order to satisfy current expenses with respect to the first property or, alternatively, it could direct leasing activity in ways that are adverse to the mortgaged property;

● a borrower could also attempt to avert foreclosure by filing a bankruptcy petition that might have the effect of interrupting debt service payments on the mortgage loans in the mortgage pool secured by that borrower’s mortgaged properties (subject to the master servicer’s and the trustee’s obligation to make advances for monthly payments) for an indefinite period; and

● mortgaged properties owned by the same borrower or related borrowers are likely to have common management, common general partners and/or common managing members, thereby increasing the risk that financial or other difficulties experienced by such related parties could have a greater impact on the pool of mortgage loans. See “—A Bankruptcy Proceeding May Result in Losses and Delays in Realizing on the Mortgage Loans” below.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics” for information on the composition of the mortgage pool by property type and geographic distribution and loan concentration.

Adverse Environmental Conditions at or Near Mortgaged Properties May Result in Losses

The issuing entity could become liable for a material adverse environmental condition at an underlying mortgaged property. Any such potential liability could reduce or delay payments on the offered certificates.

Each of the mortgaged properties was either (i) subject to environmental site assessments prior to the time of origination of the related mortgage loan (or, in certain limited cases, after origination) including Phase I environmental site assessments or updates of previously performed Phase I environmental site assessments, or (ii) subject to a secured creditor environmental insurance policy or other environmental insurance policy. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Environmental Considerations”.

We cannot assure you that the environmental assessments revealed all existing or potential environmental risks or that all adverse environmental conditions have been or will be completely abated or remediated or that any reserves, insurance or operations and maintenance plans will be sufficient to remediate the environmental conditions. Moreover, we cannot assure you that:

● future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability; or

82 

● the current environmental condition of the mortgaged properties will not be adversely affected by tenants or by the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of the mortgaged properties (such as underground storage tanks).

We cannot assure you that with respect to any mortgaged property any remediation plan or any projected remedial costs or time is accurate or sufficient to complete the remediation objectives, or that no additional contamination requiring environmental investigation or remediation will be discovered on any mortgaged property. Likewise, all environmental policies naming the lender as named insured cover certain risks or events specifically identified in the policy, but the coverage is limited by its terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions, and does not purport to cover all environmental conditions whatsoever affecting the applicable mortgaged property, and we cannot assure you that any environmental conditions currently known, suspected, or unknown and discovered in the future will be covered by the terms of the policy.

Before the trustee or the special servicer, as applicable, acquires title to a mortgaged property on behalf of the issuing entity or assumes operation of the property, it will be required to obtain an environmental assessment of such mortgaged property, or rely on a recent environmental assessment. This requirement is intended to mitigate the risk that the issuing entity will become liable under any environmental law. There is accordingly some risk that the mortgaged property will decline in value while this assessment is being obtained or remedial action is being taken. Moreover, we cannot assure you that this requirement will effectively insulate the issuing entity from potential liability under environmental laws. Any such potential liability could reduce or delay distributions to certificateholders.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Environmental Considerations” for additional information on environmental conditions at mortgaged properties securing certain mortgage loans in the issuing entity. See also representation and warranty no. 43 on Annex D-1 to this prospectus and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 to this prospectus (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1 to this prospectus).

Risks Related to Redevelopment, Expansion and Renovation at Mortgaged Properties

Certain of the mortgaged properties are currently undergoing or, in the future, are expected to undergo redevelopment, expansion or renovation. In addition, the related borrower may be permitted under the related mortgage loan documents, at its option and cost but subject to certain conditions, to undergo future construction, renovation or alterations of the mortgaged property. To the extent applicable, we cannot assure you that any escrow or reserve collected, if any, will be sufficient to complete the current renovation or be otherwise sufficient to satisfy any tenant improvement expenses at a mortgaged property. Failure to complete those planned improvements may have a material adverse

83 

effect on the cash flow at the mortgaged property and the related borrower’s ability to meet its payment obligations under the mortgage loan documents.

Certain of the hotel properties securing the mortgage loans are currently undergoing or are scheduled to undergo renovations or property improvement plans. In some circumstances, these renovations or property improvement plans may necessitate taking a portion of the available guest rooms temporarily offline, temporarily decreasing the number of available rooms and the revenue generating capacity of the related hotel property. In other cases, these renovations may involve renovations of common spaces or external features of the related hotel property, which may cause disruptions or otherwise decrease the attractiveness of the related hotel property to potential guests. These property improvement plans may be required under the related franchise or management agreement and a failure to timely complete them may result in a termination or expiration of a franchise or management agreement and may be an event of default under the related mortgage loan.

Certain of the properties securing the mortgage loans may currently be undergoing or are scheduled to undergo renovations or property expansions. Such renovations or expansions may be required under tenant leases and a failure to timely complete such renovations or expansions may result in a termination of such lease and may have a material adverse effect on the cash flow at the mortgaged property and the related borrower’s ability to meet its payment obligations under the mortgage loan documents.

We cannot assure you that current or planned redevelopment, expansion or renovation will be completed at all, that such redevelopment, expansion or renovation will be completed in the time frame contemplated, or that, when and if such redevelopment, expansion or renovation is completed, such redevelopment, expansion or renovation will improve the operations at, or increase the value of, the related mortgaged property. Failure of any of the foregoing to occur could have a material negative impact on the related mortgaged property, which could affect the ability of the related borrower to repay the related mortgage loan.

In the event the related borrower fails to pay the costs for work completed or material delivered in connection with such ongoing redevelopment, expansion or renovation, the portion of the mortgaged property on which there are renovations may be subject to mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens that may be senior to the lien of the related mortgage loan.

The existence of construction or renovation at a mortgaged property may take rental units or rooms or leasable space “off-line” or otherwise make space unavailable for rental, impair access or traffic at or near the mortgaged property, or, in general, make that mortgaged property less attractive to tenants or their customers, and accordingly could have a negative effect on net operating income. In addition, any such construction or renovation at a mortgaged property may temporarily interfere with the use and operation of any portion of such mortgaged property. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Redevelopment, Renovation and Expansion” for information regarding mortgaged properties which are currently undergoing or, in the future, are expected to undergo redevelopment, expansion or renovation. See also Annex A-3 to this prospectus for additional information on redevelopment, renovation and expansion at the mortgaged properties securing the 15 largest mortgage loans.

84 

Some Mortgaged Properties May Not Be Readily Convertible to Alternative Uses

Certain mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans may have specialty use tenants and may not be readily convertible (or convertible at all) to alternative uses if those properties were to become unprofitable for any reason.

For example, retail, mixed-use or office properties may have theater tenants. Properties with theater tenants are exposed to certain unique risks. Aspects of building site design and adaptability affect the value of a theater. In addition, decreasing attendance at a theater could adversely affect revenue of the theater, which may, in turn, cause the tenant to experience financial difficulties, resulting in downgrades in their credit ratings and, in certain cases, bankruptcy filings. In addition, because of unique construction requirements of theaters, any vacant theater space would not easily be converted to other uses.

Retail, mixed-use or office properties may also have health clubs as tenants. Several factors may adversely affect the value and successful operation of a health club, including:

● the physical attributes of the health club (e.g., its age, appearance and layout);

● the reputation, safety, convenience and attractiveness of the property to users;

● management’s ability to control membership growth and attrition;

● competition in the tenant’s marketplace from other health clubs and alternatives to health clubs; and

● adverse changes in economic and social conditions and demographic changes (e.g., population decreases or changes in average age or income), which may result in decreased demand.

In addition, there may be significant costs associated with changing consumer preferences (e.g., multipurpose clubs from single-purpose clubs or varieties of equipment, classes, services and amenities). In addition, health clubs may not be readily convertible to alternative uses if those properties were to become unprofitable for any reason. The liquidation value of any such health club consequently may be less than would be the case if the property were readily adaptable to changing consumer preferences for other uses.

Certain retail, mixed use or office properties may be partially comprised of a parking garage, or certain properties may be entirely comprised of a parking garage. Parking garages and parking lots present risks not associated with other properties. The primary source of income for parking lots and garages is the rental fees charged for parking spaces.

Factors affecting the success of a parking lot or garage include:

● the number of rentable parking spaces and rates charged;

● the location of the lot or garage and, in particular, its proximity to places where large numbers of people work, shop or live;

● the amount of alternative parking spaces in the area;

● the availability of mass transit; and

● the perceptions of the safety, convenience and services of the lot or garage.

85 

In instances where a parking garage does not have a long-term leasing arrangement with a parking lessee, but rather relies on individual short-term (i.e., daily or weekly) parking tenants for parking revenues, variations in any or all of the foregoing factors can result in increased volatility in the net operating income for such parking garage.

Aspects of building site design and adaptability affect the value of a parking garage facility. Site characteristics that are valuable to a parking garage facility include location, clear ceiling heights, column spacing, zoning restrictions, number of spaces and overall functionality and accessibility.

In addition, because of the unique construction requirements of many parking garages and because a parking lot is often vacant paved land without any structure, a vacant parking garage facility or parking lot may not be easily converted to other uses.

Mortgaged properties may have other specialty use tenants, such as medical and dental offices, gas stations, data centers, urgent care facilities, daycare centers and/or restaurants, as part of the mortgaged property.

In the case of specialty use tenants such as restaurants and theaters, aspects of building site design and adaptability affect the value of such properties and other retailers at the mortgaged property. Decreasing patronage at such properties could adversely affect revenue of the property, which may, in turn, cause the tenants to experience financial difficulties, resulting in downgrades in their credit ratings, lease defaults and, in certain cases, bankruptcy filings. See “—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases—Tenant Bankruptcy Could Result in a Rejection of the Related Lease” above. Additionally, receipts at such properties are also affected not only by objective factors but by subjective factors. For instance, restaurant receipts are affected by such varied influences as the current personal income levels in the community, an individual consumer’s preference for type of food, style of dining and restaurant atmosphere, the perceived popularity of the restaurant, food safety concerns related to personal health with the handling of food items at the restaurant or by food suppliers and the actions and/or behaviors of staff and management and level of service to the customers. In addition, because of unique construction requirements of such properties, any vacant space would not easily be converted to other uses.

Mortgaged properties with specialty use tenants may not be readily convertible (or convertible at all) to alternative uses if those properties were to become unprofitable, or the leased spaces were to become vacant, for any reason due to their unique construction requirements. In addition, converting commercial properties to alternate uses generally requires substantial capital expenditures and could result in a significant adverse effect on, or interruption of, the revenues generated by such properties.

In addition, a mortgaged property may not be readily convertible due to restrictive covenants related to such mortgaged property, including in the case of mortgaged properties that are subject to a condominium regime or subject to a ground lease, the use and other restrictions imposed by the condominium declaration and other related documents, especially in a situation where a mortgaged property does not represent the entire condominium regime. See “—Condominium Ownership May Limit Use and Improvements” above.

Some of the mortgaged properties may be part of tax-reduction programs that apply only if the mortgaged properties are used for certain purposes. Such properties may be restricted from being converted to alternative uses because of such restrictions.

86 

Some of the mortgaged properties have government tenants or other tenants which may have space that was “built to suit” that particular tenant’s uses and needs. For example, a government tenant may require enhanced security features that required additional construction or renovation costs and for which the related tenant may pay above market rent. However, such enhanced features may not be necessary for a new tenant (and such new tenant may not be willing to pay the higher rent associated with such features). While a government office building or government leased space may be usable as a regular office building or tenant space, the rents that may be collected in the event the government tenant does not renew its lease may be significantly lower than the rent currently collected.

Additionally, zoning, historical preservation or other restrictions also may prevent alternative uses. See “—Risks Related to Zoning Non-Compliance and Use Restrictions” below.

Risks Related to Zoning Non-Compliance and Use Restrictions

Certain of the mortgaged properties may not comply with current zoning laws, including use, density, parking, height, landscaping, open space and set back requirements, due to changes in zoning requirements after such mortgaged properties were constructed. These properties, as well as those for which variances or special permits were issued or for which non-conformity with current zoning laws is otherwise permitted, are considered to be a “legal non-conforming use” and/or the improvements are considered to be “legal non-conforming structures”. This means that the borrower is not required to alter its structure to comply with the existing or new law; however, the borrower may not be able to rebuild the premises “as-is” in the event of a substantial casualty loss. This may adversely affect the cash flow of the property following the loss. If a substantial casualty were to occur, we cannot assure you that insurance proceeds would be available to pay the mortgage loan in full. In addition, if a non-conforming use were to be discontinued and/or the property were repaired or restored in conformity with the current law, the value of the property or the revenue-producing potential of the property may not be equal to that before the casualty.

In some cases, the related borrower has obtained law and ordinance insurance to cover additional costs that result from rebuilding the mortgaged property in accordance with current zoning requirements, including, within the policy’s limitations, demolition costs, increased costs of construction due to code compliance and loss of value to undamaged improvements resulting from the application of zoning laws. However, if as a result of the applicable zoning laws the rebuilt improvements are smaller or less attractive to tenants than the original improvements, you should not assume that the resulting loss in income will be covered by law and ordinance insurance. Zoning protection insurance, if obtained, will generally reimburse the lender for the difference between (i) the mortgage loan balance on the date of damage loss to the mortgaged property from an insured peril and (ii) the total insurance proceeds at the time of the damage to the mortgaged property if such mortgaged property cannot be rebuilt to its former use due to new zoning ordinances.

In addition, certain of the mortgaged properties that do not conform to current zoning laws may not be “legal non-conforming uses” or “legal non-conforming structures”, thus constituting a zoning violation. The failure of a mortgaged property to comply with zoning laws or to be a “legal non-conforming use” or “legal non-conforming structure” may adversely affect the market value of the mortgaged property or the borrower’s ability to continue to use it in the manner it is currently being used or may necessitate material additional expenditures to remedy non-conformities. See representation and warranty no. 26 on Annex D-1 to this prospectus and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 to this prospectus (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1 to this prospectus).

87 

The limited availability of zoning information and/or extent of zoning diligence may also present risks. Zoning information contained in appraisals may be based on limited investigation, and zoning comfort letters obtained from jurisdictions, while based on available records, do not customarily involve any contemporaneous site inspection. The extent of zoning diligence will also be determined based on perceived risk and the cost and benefit of obtaining additional information. Even if law and ordinance insurance is required to mitigate rebuilding-related risks, we cannot assure you that other risks related to material zoning violations will have been identified under such circumstances, and that appropriate borrower covenants or other structural mitigants will have been required as a result.

In addition, certain of the mortgaged properties may be subject to certain use restrictions and/or operational requirements imposed pursuant to development agreements, regulatory agreements, ground leases, restrictive covenants, environmental restrictions, reciprocal easement agreements or operating agreements or historical landmark designations or, in the case of those mortgaged properties that are condominiums, condominium declarations or other condominium use restrictions or regulations, especially in a situation where the mortgaged property does not represent the entire condominium building. Such use restrictions could include, for example, limitations on the character of the improvements or the properties, limitations affecting noise and parking requirements, among other things, and limitations on the borrowers’ right to operate certain types of facilities within a prescribed radius. These limitations impose upon the borrower stricter requirements with respect to repairs and alterations, including following a casualty loss. These limitations could adversely affect the ability of the related borrower to lease the mortgaged property on favorable terms, thus adversely affecting the borrower’s ability to fulfill its obligations under the related mortgage loan. In addition, any alteration, reconstruction, demolition, or new construction affecting a mortgaged property designated a historical landmark may require prior approval. Any such approval process, even if successful, could delay any redevelopment or alteration of a related property. The liquidation value of such property, to the extent subject to limitations of the kind described above or other limitations on convertibility of use, may be substantially less than would be the case if such property was readily adaptable to other uses or redevelopment. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Use Restrictions” for examples of mortgaged properties that are subject to restrictions relating to the use of the mortgaged properties.

Risks Relating to Inspections of Properties

Licensed engineers or consultants inspected the mortgaged properties at or about the time of the origination of the mortgage loans to assess items such as structural integrity of the buildings and other improvements on the mortgaged property, including exterior walls, roofing, interior construction, mechanical and electrical systems and general condition of the site, buildings and other improvements. However, we cannot assure you that all conditions requiring repair or replacement were identified. No additional property inspections were conducted in connection with the issuance of the offered certificates.

Risks Relating to Costs of Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations

A borrower may be required to incur costs to comply with various existing and future federal, state or local laws and regulations applicable to the related mortgaged property, for example, zoning laws and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, which requires all public accommodations to meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by persons with disabilities. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Americans with Disabilities Act”. The expenditure of these costs or the imposition of injunctive relief, penalties or fines in connection with the borrower’s noncompliance could

88 

negatively impact the borrower’s cash flow and, consequently, its ability to pay its mortgage loan.

Insurance May Not Be Available or Adequate

Although the mortgaged properties are required to be insured, or self-insured by a sole tenant of a related building or group of buildings, against certain risks, there is a possibility of casualty loss with respect to the mortgaged properties for which insurance proceeds may not be adequate or which may result from risks not covered by insurance.

In addition, certain types of mortgaged properties, such as manufactured housing and recreational vehicle communities, have few or no insurable buildings or improvements and thus do not have casualty insurance or low limits of casualty insurance in comparison with the related mortgage loan balances.

In addition, hazard insurance policies will typically contain co-insurance clauses that in effect require an insured at all times to carry insurance of a specified percentage, generally 80% to 90%, of the full replacement value of the improvements on the related mortgaged property in order to recover the full amount of any partial loss. As a result, even if insurance coverage is maintained, if the insured’s coverage falls below this specified percentage, those clauses generally provide that the insurer’s liability in the event of partial loss does not exceed the lesser of (1) the replacement cost of the improvements less physical depreciation and (2) that proportion of the loss as the amount of insurance carried bears to the specified percentage of the full replacement cost of those improvements.

Certain of the mortgaged properties may be located in areas that are considered a high earthquake risk (seismic zones 3 or 4). See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Geographic Concentrations”.

Furthermore, with respect to certain mortgage loans, the insurable value of the related mortgaged property as of the origination date of the related mortgage loan was lower than the principal balance of the related mortgage loan. In the event of a casualty when a borrower is not required to rebuild or cannot rebuild, we cannot assure you that the insurance required with respect to the related mortgaged property will be sufficient to pay the related mortgage loan in full and there is no “gap” insurance required under such mortgage loan to cover any difference. In those circumstances, a casualty that occurs near the maturity date may result in an extension of the maturity date of the mortgage loan if the special servicer, in accordance with the servicing standard, determines that such extension was in the best interest of certificateholders.

The mortgage loans do not all require flood insurance on the related mortgaged properties unless they are in a flood zone and flood insurance is available and, in certain instances, even where the related mortgaged property was in a flood zone and flood insurance was available, flood insurance was not required.

The National Flood Insurance Program is scheduled to expire on December 21, 2018. We cannot assure you if or when the program will be reauthorized by Congress. If the program is not reauthorized, it could have an adverse effect on the value of properties in flood zones or their ability to be repaired after flood damage.

We cannot assure you that the borrowers will in the future be able to comply with requirements to maintain adequate insurance with respect to the mortgaged properties, and any uninsured loss could have a material adverse impact on the amount available to make payments on the related mortgage loan, and consequently, the offered certificates. As with

89 

all real estate, if reconstruction (for example, following fire or other casualty) or any major repair or improvement is required to the damaged property, changes in laws and governmental regulations may be applicable and may materially affect the cost to, or ability of, the borrowers to effect such reconstruction, major repair or improvement. As a result, the amount realized with respect to the mortgaged properties, and the amount available to make payments on the related mortgage loan, and consequently, the offered certificates, could be reduced. In addition, we cannot assure you that the amount of insurance required or provided would be sufficient to cover damages caused by any casualty, or that such insurance will be available in the future at commercially reasonable rates. See representation and warranty no. 18 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

Inadequacy of Title Insurers May Adversely Affect Distributions on Your Certificates

Title insurance for a mortgaged property generally insures a lender against risks relating to a lender not having a first lien with respect to a mortgaged property, and in some cases can insure a lender against specific other risks. The protection afforded by title insurance depends on the ability of the title insurer to pay claims made upon it. We cannot assure you that with respect to any mortgage loan:

● a title insurer will have the ability to pay title insurance claims made upon it;

● the title insurer will maintain its present financial strength; or

● a title insurer will not contest claims made upon it.

Certain of the mortgaged properties are either completing initial construction or undergoing renovation or redevelopment. Under such circumstances, there may be limitations to the amount of coverage or other exceptions to coverage that could adversely affect the issuing entity if losses are suffered.

Terrorism Insurance May Not Be Available for All Mortgaged Properties

The occurrence or the possibility of terrorist attacks could (1) lead to damage to one or more of the mortgaged properties if any terrorist attacks occur or (2) result in higher costs for security and insurance premiums or diminish the availability of insurance coverage for losses related to terrorist attacks, particularly for large properties, which could adversely affect the cash flow at those mortgaged properties.

After the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City and the Washington, D.C. area, all forms of insurance were impacted, particularly from a cost and availability perspective, including comprehensive general liability and business interruption or rent loss insurance policies required by typical mortgage loans. To give time for private markets to develop a pricing mechanism for terrorism risk and to build capacity to absorb future losses that may occur due to terrorism, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 was enacted on November 26, 2002 (as amended, “TRIPRA”), establishing the Terrorism Insurance Program. The Terrorism Insurance Program was extended through December 31, 2014 by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 and was subsequently reauthorized on January 12, 2015 for a period of six years through December 31, 2020 pursuant to the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015.

The Terrorism Insurance Program requires insurance carriers to provide terrorism coverage in their basic “all-risk” policies. Any commercial property and casualty terrorism insurance exclusion that was in force on November 26, 2002 is automatically void to the

90 

extent that it excluded losses that would otherwise be insured losses. Any state approval of those types of exclusions in force on November 26, 2002 is also void.

Under the Terrorism Insurance Program, the federal government shares in the risk of losses occurring within the United States resulting from acts committed in an effort to influence or coerce United States civilians or the United States government. The federal share of compensation for insured losses of an insurer equals 82% in 2018 (subject to annual 1% decreases thereafter until such percentage equals 80%) of the portion of such insured losses that exceed a deductible equal to 20% of the value of the insurer’s direct earned premiums over the calendar year immediately preceding that program year. Federal compensation in any program year is capped at $100 billion (with insurers being liable for any amount that exceeds such cap), and no compensation is payable with respect to a terrorist act unless the aggregate industry losses relating to such act exceed $160 million in 2018 (subject to annual $20 million increases thereafter until such threshold equals $200 million). The Terrorism Insurance Program does not cover nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological attacks. Unless a borrower obtains separate coverage for events that do not meet the thresholds or other requirements above, such events will not be covered.

If the Terrorism Insurance Program is not reenacted after its expiration in 2020, premiums for terrorism insurance coverage will likely increase and the terms of such insurance policies may be materially amended to increase stated exclusions or to otherwise effectively decrease the scope of coverage available (perhaps to the point where it is effectively not available). In addition, to the extent that any insurance policies contain “sunset clauses” (i.e., clauses that void terrorism coverage if the federal insurance backstop program is not renewed), such policies may cease to provide terrorism insurance upon the expiration of the Terrorism Insurance Program. We cannot assure you that the Terrorism Insurance Program or any successor program will create any long term changes in the availability and cost of such insurance. Moreover, future legislation, including regulations expected to be adopted by the Treasury Department pursuant to TRIPRA, may have a material effect on the availability of federal assistance in the terrorism insurance market. To the extent that uninsured or underinsured casualty losses occur with respect to the related mortgaged properties, losses on the mortgage loans may result. In addition, the failure to maintain such terrorism insurance may constitute a default under the related mortgage loan.

Some of the mortgage loans do not require the related borrower to maintain terrorism insurance. In addition, most of the mortgage loans contain limitations on the related borrower’s obligation to obtain terrorism insurance, such as (i) waiving the requirement that such borrower maintain terrorism insurance if such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates, (ii) providing that the related borrower is not required to spend in excess of a specified dollar amount (or in some cases, a specified multiple of what is spent on other insurance) in order to obtain such terrorism insurance, (iii) requiring coverage only for as long as the TRIPRA is in effect, or (iv) requiring coverage only for losses arising from domestic acts of terrorism or from terrorist acts certified by the federal government as “acts of terrorism” under the TRIPRA. See Annex A-3 to this prospectus for a summary of the terrorism insurance requirements under each of the 15 largest mortgage loans. See representation and warranty no. 31 on Annex D-1 to this prospectus and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 to this prospectus (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1 to this prospectus).

We cannot assure you that all of the mortgaged properties will be insured against the risks of terrorism and similar acts. As a result of any of the foregoing, the amount available to make distributions on your certificates could be reduced.

91 

Other mortgaged properties securing mortgage loans may also be insured under a blanket policy or self-insured or insured by a sole tenant. See “—Risks Associated with Blanket Insurance Policies or Self-Insurance” below.

Risks Associated with Blanket Insurance Policies or Self-Insurance

Certain of the mortgaged properties are covered by blanket insurance policies, which also cover other properties of the related borrower or its affiliates (including certain properties in close proximity to the mortgaged properties). In the event that such policies are drawn on to cover losses on such other properties, the amount of insurance coverage available under such policies would thereby be reduced and could be insufficient to cover each mortgaged property’s insurable risks.

Additionally, the risks related to blanket insurance may be aggravated if the mortgage loans that allow such coverage are part of a group of mortgage loans with related borrowers, and some or all of the related mortgaged properties are covered under the same blanket insurance policy, which may also cover other properties owned by affiliates of such borrowers.

Certain mortgaged properties may also be insured or self-insured by a sole or significant tenant, as further described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Insurance Considerations”. We cannot assure you that any insurance obtained by a sole or significant tenant will be adequate or that such sole or significant tenant will comply with any requirements to maintain adequate insurance. Additionally, to the extent that insurance coverage relies on self-insurance, there is a risk that the “insurer” will not be willing or have the financial ability to satisfy a claim if a loss occurs. See representation and warranty nos. 18 and 31 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

Condemnation of a Mortgaged Property May Adversely Affect Distributions on Certificates

From time to time, there may be condemnations pending or threatened against one or more of the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans. The proceeds payable in connection with a total condemnation may not be sufficient to restore the related mortgaged property or to satisfy the remaining indebtedness of the related mortgage loan. The occurrence of a partial condemnation may have a material adverse effect on the continued use of, or income generated by, the affected mortgaged property. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the occurrence of any condemnation will not have a negative impact upon distributions on your offered certificates. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Litigation and Other Considerations” in this prospectus.

Limited Information Causes Uncertainty

Historical Information

Some of the mortgage loans that we intend to include in the issuing entity are secured in whole or in part by mortgaged properties for which limited or no historical operating information is available. As a result, you may find it difficult to analyze the historical performance of those mortgaged properties.

A mortgaged property may lack prior operating history or historical financial information because it is newly constructed or renovated, it is a recent acquisition by the related borrower or it is a single-tenant property that is subject to a triple-net lease. In addition, a tenant’s lease may contain confidentiality provisions that restrict the sponsors’ access to or

92 

disclosure of such tenant’s financial information. The underwritten net cash flows and underwritten net operating income for such mortgaged properties are derived principally from current rent rolls or tenant leases and historical expenses, adjusted to account for inflation, significant occupancy increases and a market rate management fee. In some cases, underwritten net cash flows and underwritten net operating income for mortgaged properties are based all or in part on leases (or letters of intent) that are not yet in place (and may still be under negotiation) or on tenants that may have signed a lease (or letter of intent), or lease amendment expanding the leased space, but are not yet in occupancy and/or paying rent), which present certain risks described in “—Underwritten Net Cash Flow Could Be Based On Incorrect or Flawed Assumptions” below and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions” and “—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Mortgaged Properties with Limited Prior Operating History” in this prospectus.

See Annex A-1 for certain historical financial information relating to the mortgaged properties, including net operating income for the most recent reporting period and prior three calendar years, to the extent available.

Ongoing Information

The primary source of ongoing information regarding the offered certificates, including information regarding the status of the related mortgage loans and any credit support for the offered certificates, will be the periodic reports delivered to you. See “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”. We cannot assure you that any additional ongoing information regarding the offered certificates will be available through any other source. The limited nature of the available information in respect of the offered certificates may adversely affect their liquidity, even if a secondary market for the offered certificates does develop.

We are not aware of any source through which pricing information regarding the offered certificates will be generally available on an ongoing basis or on any particular date.

Underwritten Net Cash Flow Could Be Based On Incorrect or Flawed Assumptions

As described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions”, underwritten net cash flow generally includes cash flow (including any cash flow from master leases) adjusted based on a number of assumptions used by the sponsors. We make no representation that the underwritten net cash flow set forth in this prospectus as of the cut-off date or any other date represents actual future net cash flows. For example, with respect to certain mortgage loans included in the issuing entity, the occupancy of the related mortgaged property reflects tenants that (i) may not have yet actually executed leases (but have in some instances signed letters of intent), (ii) have signed leases but have not yet taken occupancy and/or are not paying full contractual rent, (iii) are seeking or may in the future seek to sublet all or a portion of their respective spaces, (iv) are “dark” tenants but paying rent, or (v) are affiliates of the related borrower and are leasing space pursuant to a master lease or a space lease. Similarly, with respect to certain mortgage loans included in the issuing entity, the underwritten net cash flow may be based on certain tenants that have not yet executed leases or that have signed leases but are not yet in place and/or are not yet paying rent, or have a signed lease or lease amendment expanding the leased space, but are not yet in occupancy of all or a portion of their space and/or paying rent, or may assume that future contractual rent steps (during some or all of the remaining term of a lease) have occurred. In many cases, co-tenancy provisions were assumed to be satisfied and vacant space was assumed to be occupied and space that was due to expire was assumed to have been re-let, in each case at market rates

93 

that may have exceeded current rent. You should review these and other similar assumptions and make your own determination of the appropriate assumptions to be used in determining underwritten net cash flow.

In addition, underwritten or adjusted cash flows, by their nature, are speculative and are based upon certain assumptions and projections. The failure of these assumptions or projections in whole or in part could cause the underwritten net operating income (calculated as described in “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions”) to vary substantially from the actual net operating income of a mortgaged property.

In the event of the inaccuracy of any assumptions or projections used in connection with the calculation of underwritten net cash flow, the actual net cash flow could be significantly different (and, in some cases, may be materially less) than the underwritten net cash flow presented in this prospectus, and this would change other numerical information presented in this prospectus based on or derived from the underwritten net cash flow, such as the debt service coverage ratios or debt yield presented in this prospectus. We cannot assure you that any such assumptions or projections made with respect to any mortgaged property will, in fact, be consistent with that mortgaged property’s actual performance.

Frequent and Early Occurrence of Borrower Delinquencies and Defaults May Adversely Affect Your Investment

If you calculate the anticipated yield of your offered certificates based on a rate of default or amount of losses lower than that actually experienced on the mortgage loans and those additional losses result in a reduction of the total distributions on, or the certificate balance of, your offered certificates, your actual yield to maturity will be lower than expected and could be negative under certain extreme scenarios. The timing of any loss on a liquidated mortgage loan that results in a reduction of the total distributions on or the certificate balance of your offered certificates will also affect the actual yield to maturity of your offered certificates, even if the rate of defaults and severity of losses are consistent with your expectations. In general, the earlier a loss is borne by you, the greater the effect on your yield to maturity.

Delinquencies on the mortgage loans, if the delinquent amounts are not advanced, may result in shortfalls in distributions of interest and/or principal to the holders of the offered certificates for the current month. Furthermore, no interest will accrue on this shortfall during the period of time that the payment is delinquent. Additionally, in instances where the principal portion of any balloon payment scheduled with respect to a mortgage loan is collected by the master servicer following the end of the related collection period, no portion of the principal received on such payment will be passed through for distribution to the certificateholders until the subsequent distribution date, which may result in shortfalls in distributions of interest to the holders of the offered certificates in the following month. Furthermore, in such instances no provision is made for the master servicer or any other party to cover any such interest shortfalls that may occur as a result. In addition, if interest and/or principal advances and/or servicing advances are made with respect to a mortgage loan after a default and the related mortgage loan is thereafter worked out under terms that do not provide for the repayment of those advances in full at the time of the workout, then any reimbursements of those advances prior to the actual collection of the amount for which the advance was made may also result in shortfalls in distributions of principal to the holders of the offered certificates with certificate balances for the current month. Even if losses on the mortgage loans are not allocated to a particular class of offered certificates with certificate balances, the losses may affect the weighted average life and yield to maturity of that class of offered certificates. In the case of any material monetary or

94 

material non-monetary default, the special servicer may accelerate the maturity of the related mortgage loan, which could result in an acceleration of principal distributions to the certificateholders. The special servicer may also extend or modify a mortgage loan, which could result in a substantial delay in principal distributions to the certificateholders. In addition, losses on the mortgage loans, even if not allocated to a class of offered certificates with certificate balances, may result in a higher percentage ownership interest evidenced by those offered certificates in the remaining mortgage loans than would otherwise have resulted absent the loss. The consequent effect on the weighted average life and yield to maturity of the offered certificates will depend upon the characteristics of those remaining mortgage loans in the trust fund.

The Mortgage Loans Have Not Been Reviewed or Re-Underwritten by Us; Some Mortgage Loans May Not Have Complied With Another Originator’s Underwriting Criteria

Although the sponsors have conducted a review of the mortgage loans to be sold to us for this securitization transaction, we, as the depositor for this securitization transaction, have neither originated the mortgage loans nor conducted a review or re-underwriting of the mortgage loans. Instead, we have relied on the representations and warranties made by the applicable sponsors and the remedies for breach of a representation and warranty as described under “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements” and the sponsor’s description of its underwriting criteria described under “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC—Argentic’s Underwriting Standards and Processes”; “—Wells Fargo Bank, National Association—Wells Fargo Bank’s Commercial Mortgage Loan Underwriting”; “—Barclays Bank PLC—Barclays’ Underwriting Guidelines and Processes”; “—Basis Real Estate Capital II, LLC—Basis’s Underwriting Standards and Loan Analysis”; and “—BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC—BSPRT’s Underwriting Standards”. A description of the review conducted by each sponsor for this securitization transaction is set forth under each of the foregoing headings.

The representations and warranties made by the sponsors may not cover all of the matters that one would review in underwriting a mortgage loan and you should not view them as a substitute for re-underwriting the mortgage loans. Furthermore, these representations and warranties in some respects represent an allocation of risk rather than a confirmed description of the mortgage loans. If we had re-underwritten the mortgage loans, it is possible that the re-underwriting process may have revealed problems with a mortgage loan not covered by a representation or warranty or may have revealed inaccuracies in the representations and warranties. See “—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Sponsors May Not Make Required Repurchases or Substitutions of Defective Mortgage Loans or Pay Any Loss of Value Payment Sufficient to Cover All Losses on a Defective Mortgage Loan” below, and “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”.

In addition, we cannot assure you that all of the mortgage loans would have complied with the underwriting criteria of the other originators or, accordingly, that each originator would have made the same decision to originate every mortgage loan included in the issuing entity or, if they did decide to originate an unrelated mortgage loan, that they would have been underwritten on the same terms and conditions.

As a result of the foregoing, you are advised and encouraged to make your own investment decision based on a careful review of the information set forth in this prospectus and your own view of the mortgage pool.

95 

Static Pool Data Would Not Be Indicative of the Performance of this Pool

As a result of the distinct nature of each pool of commercial mortgage loans, and the separate mortgage loans within the pool, this prospectus does not include disclosure concerning the delinquency and loss experience of static pools of periodic originations by any sponsor of assets of the type to be securitized (known as “static pool data”). In particular, static pool data showing a low level of delinquencies and defaults would not be indicative of the performance of this pool or any other pools of mortgage loans originated by the same sponsor or sponsors.

While there may be certain common factors affecting the performance and value of income-producing real properties in general, those factors do not apply equally to all income-producing real properties and, in many cases, there are unique factors that will affect the performance and/or value of a particular income-producing real property. Moreover, the effect of a given factor on a particular real property will depend on a number of variables, including but not limited to property type, geographic location, competition, sponsorship and other characteristics of the property and the related commercial mortgage loan. Each income-producing real property represents a separate and distinct business venture and, as a result, each of the mortgage loans requires a unique underwriting analysis. Furthermore, economic and other conditions affecting real properties, whether worldwide, national, regional or local, vary over time. The performance of a pool of mortgage loans originated and outstanding under a given set of economic conditions may vary significantly from the performance of an otherwise comparable mortgage pool originated and outstanding under a different set of economic conditions.

Therefore, you should evaluate this offering on the basis of the information set forth in this prospectus with respect to the mortgage loans, and not on the basis of the performance of other pools of securitized commercial mortgage loans.

Appraisals May Not Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property

Appraisals were obtained with respect to each of the mortgaged properties at or about the time of origination of the related mortgage loan (or whole loan, if applicable) or at or around the time of the acquisition of the mortgage loan (or whole loan, if applicable) by the related sponsor. See Annex A-1 for the dates of the latest appraisals for the mortgaged properties. We have not obtained new appraisals of the mortgaged properties or assigned new valuations to the mortgage loans in connection with the offering of the offered certificates. The market values of the mortgaged properties could have declined since the origination of the related mortgage loans.

In general, appraisals represent the analysis and opinion of qualified appraisers and are not guarantees of present or future value. One appraiser may reach a different conclusion than that of a different appraiser with respect to the same property. The appraisals seek to establish the amount a typically motivated buyer would pay a typically motivated seller and, in certain cases, may have taken into consideration the purchase price paid by the borrower. The amount could be significantly higher than the amount obtained from the sale of a mortgaged property in a distress or liquidation sale.

Information regarding the appraised values of the mortgaged properties (including loan-to-value ratios) presented in this prospectus is not intended to be a representation as to the past, present or future market values of the mortgaged properties. For example, in some cases, a borrower or its affiliate may have acquired the related mortgaged property for a price or otherwise for consideration in an amount that is less than the related appraised value specified on Annex A-1, including at a foreclosure sale or through acceptance of a

96 

deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. Historical operating results of the mortgaged properties used in these appraisals, as adjusted by various assumptions, estimates and subjective judgments on the part of the appraiser, may not be comparable to future operating results. In addition, certain appraisals may be based on extraordinary assumptions, including without limitation, that certain tenants are in-place and paying rent when such tenants have not yet taken occupancy or that certain renovations or property improvement plans have been completed. Additionally, certain appraisals with respect to mortgage loans secured by multiple mortgaged properties may have been conducted on a portfolio basis rather than on an individual property basis, and the sum of the values of the individual properties may be different from (and in some cases may be less than) the appraised value of the aggregate of such properties on a portfolio basis. In addition, other factors may impair the mortgaged properties’ value without affecting their current net operating income, including:

● changes in governmental regulations, zoning or tax laws;

● potential environmental or other legal liabilities;

● the availability of refinancing; and

● changes in interest rate levels.

In certain cases, appraisals may reflect “as-is” values or values other than “as-is”. However, the appraised value reflected in this prospectus with respect to each mortgaged property, except as described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions”, reflects only the “as-is” value (or, in certain cases, may reflect certain values other than “as-is” values as a result of the satisfaction of the related conditions or assumptions or the establishment of reserves estimated to complete the renovations) unless otherwise specified. Any such values other than “as-is” may contain certain assumptions, such as future construction completion, projected re-tenanting or increased tenant occupancies. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Appraised Value”.

Additionally, with respect to the appraisals setting forth assumptions, particularly those setting forth extraordinary assumptions, as to the “as-is” values and values other than “as-is” value, we cannot assure you that those assumptions are or will be accurate or that any such values will be the value of the related mortgaged property at maturity or the anticipated repayment date (if any) or at the indicated stabilization date or upon completion of the renovations, as applicable. Any engineering report, site inspection or appraisal represents only the analysis of the individual consultant, engineer or inspector preparing such report at the time of such report, and may not reveal all necessary or desirable repairs, maintenance and capital improvement items. See “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC—Argentic’s Underwriting Standards and Processes”, “—Wells Fargo Bank, National Association—Wells Fargo Bank’s Commercial Mortgage Loan Underwriting”, “—Barclays Bank PLC—Barclays’ Underwriting Guidelines and Processes”, “—Basis Real Estate Capital II, LLC—Basis’s Underwriting Standards and Loan Analysis” and “—BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC—BSPRT’s Underwriting Standards” for additional information regarding the appraisals. We cannot assure you that the information set forth in this prospectus regarding the appraised values or loan-to-value ratios accurately reflects past, present or future market values of the mortgaged properties or the amount that would be realized upon a sale of the related mortgaged property.

97 

The Performance of a Mortgage Loan and Its Related Mortgaged Property Depends in Part on Who Controls the Borrower and Mortgaged Property

The operation and performance of a mortgage loan will depend in part on the identity of the persons or entities who control the borrower and the mortgaged property. The performance of a mortgage loan may be adversely affected if control of a borrower changes, which may occur, for example, by means of transfers of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower, or if the mortgage loan is assigned to and assumed by another person or entity along with a transfer of the property to that person or entity.

Many of the mortgage loans generally place certain restrictions on the transfer and/or pledging of general partnership and managing member equity interests in a borrower, such as specific percentage or control limitations, although some have current or permit future mezzanine or subordinate debt. We cannot assure you the ownership of any of the borrowers would not change during the term of the related mortgage loan and result in a material adverse effect on your certificates. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Indebtedness” and “—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—‘Due-On-Sale’ and ‘Due-On-Encumbrance’ Provisions”.

The Borrower’s Form of Entity May Cause Special Risks

The borrowers are legal entities rather than individuals. Mortgage loans made to legal entities may entail greater risks of loss than those associated with mortgage loans made to individuals. For example, a legal entity, as opposed to an individual, may be more inclined to seek legal protection from its creditors under the bankruptcy laws. Unlike individuals involved in bankruptcies, most entities generally, but not in all cases, do not have personal assets and creditworthiness at stake.

The terms of certain of the mortgage loans require that the borrowers be single-purpose entities and, in most cases, such borrowers’ organizational documents or the terms of the mortgage loans limit their activities to the ownership of only the related mortgaged property or mortgaged properties and limit the borrowers’ ability to incur additional indebtedness. Such provisions are designed to mitigate the possibility that the borrower’s financial condition would be adversely impacted by factors unrelated to the related mortgaged property and mortgage loan. Such borrower may also have previously owned property other than the related mortgaged property or may be a so-called “recycled” single-purpose entity that previously had other business activities and liabilities. However, we cannot assure you that such borrowers have in the past complied, or in the future will comply, with such requirements. Additionally, in some cases unsecured debt exists and/or is allowed in the future. Furthermore, in many cases such borrowers are not required to observe all covenants and conditions which typically are required in order for such borrowers to be viewed under standard rating agency criteria as “single-purpose entities”.

Although a borrower may currently be a single-purpose entity, in certain cases the borrowers were not originally formed as single-purpose entities, but at origination of the related mortgage loan their organizational documents were amended. Such borrower may have previously owned property other than the related mortgaged property and may not have observed all covenants that typically are required to consider a borrower a “single-purpose entity” and thus may have liabilities arising from events prior to becoming a single-purpose entity.

The organizational documents of a borrower or the direct or indirect managing partner or member of a borrower may also contain requirements that there be one or two independent directors, managers or trustees (depending on the entity form of such

98 

borrower) whose vote is required before the borrower files a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition or otherwise institutes insolvency proceedings. Generally, but not always, the independent directors, managers or trustees may only be replaced with certain other independent successors. Although the requirement of having independent directors, managers or trustees is designed to mitigate the risk of a voluntary bankruptcy filing by a solvent borrower, a borrower could file for bankruptcy without obtaining the consent of its independent director(s) (and we cannot assure you that such bankruptcy would be dismissed as an unauthorized filing), and in any case the independent directors, managers or trustees may determine that a bankruptcy filing is an appropriate course of action to be taken by such borrower. Although the independent directors, managers or trustees generally owe no fiduciary duties to entities other than the borrower itself, such determination might take into account the interests and financial condition of such borrower’s parent entities and such parent entities’ other subsidiaries in addition to those of the borrower. Consequently, the financial distress of an affiliate of a borrower might increase the likelihood of a bankruptcy filing by a borrower.

The bankruptcy of a borrower, or a general partner or managing member of a borrower, may impair the ability of the lender to enforce its rights and remedies under the related mortgage loan. Certain of the mortgage loans have been made to single-purpose limited partnerships that have a general partner or general partners that are not themselves single-purpose entities. Such loans are subject to additional bankruptcy risk. The organizational documents of the general partner in such cases do not limit it to acting as the general partner of the partnership. Accordingly there is a greater risk that the general partner may become insolvent for reasons unrelated to the mortgaged property. The bankruptcy of a general partner may dissolve the partnership under applicable state law. In addition, even if the partnership itself is not insolvent, actions by the partnership and/or a bankrupt general partner that are outside the ordinary course of their business, such as refinancing the related mortgage loan, may require prior approval of the bankruptcy court in the general partner’s bankruptcy case. The proceedings required to resolve these issues may be costly and time-consuming.

Any borrower, even an entity structured as a single-purpose entity, as an owner of real estate, will be subject to certain potential liabilities and risks as an owner of real estate. We cannot assure you that any borrower will not file for bankruptcy protection or that creditors of a borrower or a corporate or individual general partner or managing member of a borrower will not initiate a bankruptcy or similar proceeding against such borrower or corporate or individual general partner or managing member.

Certain borrowers’ organizational documents or the terms of certain mortgage loans permit an affiliated property manager to maintain a custodial account on behalf of such borrower and certain affiliates of such borrower into which funds available to such borrower under the terms of the related mortgage loans and funds of such affiliates are held, but which funds are and will continue to be separately accounted for as to each item of income and expense for each related mortgaged property and each related borrower. A custodial account structure for affiliated entities, while common among certain REITs, institutions or independent owners of multiple properties, presents a risk for consolidation of the assets of such affiliates as commingling of funds is a factor a court may consider in considering a request by other creditors for substantive consolidation. Substantive consolidation is an equitable remedy that could result in an otherwise solvent company becoming subject to the bankruptcy proceedings of an insolvent affiliate, making its assets available to repay the debts of affiliated companies. A court has the discretion to order substantive consolidation in whole or in part and may include non-debtor affiliates of the bankrupt entity in the proceedings. In particular, consolidation may be ordered when corporate funds are

99 

commingled and used for a principal’s personal purposes, inadequate records of transfers are made and corporate entities are deemed an alter ego of a principal. Strict adherence to maintaining separate books and records, avoiding commingling of assets and otherwise maintaining corporate policies designed to preserve the separateness of corporate assets and liabilities make it less likely that a court would order substantive consolidation, but we cannot assure you that the related borrowers, property managers or affiliates will comply with these requirements as set forth in the related mortgage loans.

Furthermore, with respect to any affiliated borrowers, creditors of a common parent in bankruptcy may seek to consolidate the assets of such borrowers with those of the parent. Consolidation of the assets of such borrowers would likely have an adverse effect on the funds available to make distributions on your certificates, and may lead to a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the ratings of your certificates.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Single-Purpose Entity Covenants” and “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Bankruptcy Laws”. See also representation and warranty no. 33 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

In addition, borrowers may own a mortgaged property as tenants-in-common. In the case of a mortgaged property that is owned by tenants-in-common, there is a risk that obtaining the consent of the tenants-in-common will be time consuming and cause delays with respect to the taking of certain actions by or on behalf of the borrower, including with respect to the related mortgaged property. See “—Tenancies-in-Common May Hinder Recovery” below. See also “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Tenancies-in-Common or Diversified Ownership" in this prospectus.

In addition, certain of the mortgage loans may have borrowers that are wholly or partially (directly or indirectly) owned by one or more crowd funding investor groups or other diversified ownership structures. Investments in the commercial real estate market through crowd funding investor groups are a relatively recent development and there may be certain unanticipated risks to this new ownership structure which may adversely affect the related mortgage loan. Typically, the crowd funding investor group is made up of a large number of individual investors who invest relatively small amounts in the group pursuant to a securities offering. With respect to an equity investment in the borrower, the crowd funding investor group in turn purchases a stake in the borrower. Accordingly, equity in the borrower is indirectly held by the individual investors in the crowd funding group. We cannot assure you that either the crowd funding investor group or the individual investors in the crowd funding investor group or other diversified ownership structure have relevant expertise in the commercial real estate market. Additionally, crowd funding investor groups are required to comply with various securities regulations related to offerings of securities and we cannot assure you that any enforcement action or legal proceeding regarding failure to comply with such securities regulations would not delay enforcement of the related mortgage loan or otherwise impair the borrower’s ability to operate the related mortgaged property. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that a bankruptcy proceeding by the crowd funding investor group or other diversified ownership structure will not delay enforcement of the related mortgage loan. See “—Litigation Regarding the Mortgaged Properties or Borrowers May Impair Your Distributions”, “—Frequent and Early Occurrence of Borrower Delinquencies and Defaults May Adversely Affect Your Investment” and “—The Performance of a Mortgage Loan and Its Related Mortgaged Property Depends in Part on Who Controls the Borrower and Mortgaged Property” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Tenancies-in-Common or Diversified Ownership” in this prospectus.

A Bankruptcy Proceeding May Result in Losses and Delays in Realizing on the Mortgage Loans

Numerous statutory provisions, including the federal bankruptcy code and state laws affording relief to debtors, may interfere with and delay the ability of a secured mortgage lender to obtain payment of a loan, to realize upon collateral and/or to enforce a deficiency judgment. For example, under the federal bankruptcy code, virtually all actions (including foreclosure actions and deficiency judgment proceedings) are automatically stayed upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition, and, often, no interest or principal payments are made during the course of the bankruptcy proceeding. Also, under federal bankruptcy law, the filing of a petition in bankruptcy by or on behalf of a junior lien holder may stay the senior lender from taking action to foreclose out such junior lien. Certain of the mortgage loans have sponsors that have previously filed bankruptcy and we cannot assure you that such sponsors will not be more likely than other sponsors to utilize their rights in bankruptcy in the event of any threatened action by the mortgagee to enforce its rights under the related mortgage loan documents. As a result, the issuing entity’s recovery with respect to borrowers in bankruptcy proceedings may be significantly delayed, and the aggregate amount ultimately collected may be substantially less than the amount owed. See “—Other Financings or Ability To Incur Other Indebtedness Entails Risk” below, “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Loan Purpose; Default History, Bankruptcy Issues and Other Proceedings” and “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Foreclosure—Bankruptcy Laws”.

Additionally, the courts of any state may refuse the foreclosure of a mortgage or deed of trust when an acceleration of the indebtedness would be inequitable or unjust or the circumstances would render the action unconscionable. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Foreclosure”.

See also “—Performance of the Mortgage Loan Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases—Tenant Bankruptcy Could Result in a Rejection of the Related Lease” above.

Litigation Regarding the Mortgaged Properties or Borrowers May Impair Your Distributions

There may be (and there may exist from time to time) pending or threatened legal proceedings against, or disputes with, the borrowers, the borrower sponsors, the managers of the mortgaged properties and their respective affiliates arising out of their ordinary business. We have not undertaken a search for all legal proceedings that relate to the borrowers, borrower sponsors, managers for the mortgaged properties or their respective affiliates. Potential investors are advised and encouraged to perform their own searches related to such matters to the extent relevant to their investment decision. Any such litigation or dispute may materially impair distributions to certificateholders if borrowers must use property income to pay judgments, legal fees or litigation costs. We cannot assure you that any litigation or dispute or any settlement of any litigation or dispute will not have a material adverse effect on your investment. See representation and warranty no. 15 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

Additionally, a borrower or a principal of a borrower or affiliate may have been a party to a bankruptcy, foreclosure, litigation or other proceeding, particularly against a lender, or may have been convicted of a crime in the past. In addition, certain of the borrower sponsors, property managers, affiliates of any of the foregoing and/or entities controlled thereby have been a party to bankruptcy proceedings, mortgage loan defaults and restructures, discounted payoffs, foreclosure proceedings or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure

101 

transactions, or other material proceedings (including criminal proceedings) in the past, whether or not related to the mortgaged property securing a mortgage loan in this securitization transaction. In some cases, mortgaged properties securing certain of the mortgage loans previously secured other loans that had been in default, restructured or the subject of a discounted payoff, foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.

Certain of the borrower sponsors may have a history of litigation or other proceedings against their lender, in some cases involving various parties to a securitization transaction. We cannot assure you that the borrower sponsors that have engaged in litigation or other proceedings in the past will not commence action against the issuing entity in the future upon any attempt by the special servicer to enforce the mortgage loan documents. Any such actions by the borrower or borrower sponsor may result in significant expense and potential loss to the issuing entity and a shortfall in funds available to make payments on the offered certificates. In addition, certain principals or borrower sponsors may have in the past been convicted of, or pled guilty to, a felony. We cannot assure you that such borrower or principal will not be more likely than other borrowers or principals to avail itself or cause a borrower to avail itself of its legal rights, under the federal bankruptcy code or otherwise, in the event of an action or threatened action by the lender or its servicer to enforce the related mortgage loan documents, or otherwise conduct its operations in a manner that is in the best interests of the lender and/or the mortgaged property. We cannot assure you that any such proceedings or actions will not have a material adverse effect upon distributions on your certificates. Further, borrowers, principals of borrowers, property managers and affiliates of such parties may, in the future, be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, foreclosure proceedings or other material proceedings (including criminal proceedings), whether or not related to the mortgage loans. We cannot assure you that any such proceedings will not negatively impact a borrower’s or borrower sponsor’s ability to meet its obligations under the related mortgage loan and, as a result could have a material adverse effect upon your certificates.

Often it is difficult to confirm the identity of owners of all of the equity in a borrower, which means that past issues may not be discovered as to such owners. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Litigation and Other Considerations” and “—Loan Purpose; Default History, Bankruptcy Issues and Other Proceedings” for additional information on certain mortgage loans in the issuing entity. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that there are no undisclosed bankruptcy proceedings, foreclosure proceedings, deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure transaction and/or mortgage loan workout matters that involved one or more mortgage loans or mortgaged properties, and/or a guarantor, borrower sponsor or other party to a mortgage loan.

In addition, in the event the owner of a borrower experiences financial problems, we cannot assure you that such owner would not attempt to take actions with respect to the mortgaged property that may adversely affect the borrower’s ability to fulfill its obligations under the related mortgage loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Litigation and Other Considerations” for information regarding litigation matters with respect to certain mortgage loans.

Other Financings or Ability to Incur Other Indebtedness Entails Risk

When a borrower (or its constituent members) also has one or more other outstanding loans (even if they are pari passu, subordinated, mezzanine, preferred equity or unsecured loans or another type of equity pledge), the issuing entity is subjected to additional risk such as:

102 

● the borrower (or its constituent members) may have difficulty servicing and repaying multiple financings;

● the existence of other financings will generally also make it more difficult for the borrower to obtain refinancing of the related mortgage loan (or whole loan, if applicable) or sell the related mortgaged property and may thereby jeopardize repayment of the mortgage loan (or whole loan, if applicable);

● the need to service additional financings may reduce the cash flow available to the borrower to operate and maintain the mortgaged property and the value of the mortgaged property may decline as a result;

● if a borrower (or its constituent members) defaults on its mortgage loan and/or any other financing, actions taken by other lenders such as a suit for collection, foreclosure or an involuntary petition for bankruptcy against the borrower could impair the security available to the issuing entity, including the mortgaged property, or stay the issuing entity’s ability to foreclose during the course of the bankruptcy case;

● the bankruptcy of another lender also may operate to stay foreclosure by the issuing entity; and

● the issuing entity may also be subject to the costs and administrative burdens of involvement in foreclosure or bankruptcy proceedings or related litigation.

Although no companion loan related to a whole loan will be an asset of the issuing entity, the related borrower is still obligated to make interest and principal payments on such companion loan. As a result, the issuing entity is subject to additional risks, including:

● the risk that the necessary maintenance of the related mortgaged property could be deferred to allow the borrower to pay the required debt service on these other obligations and that the value of the mortgaged property may fall as a result; and

● the risk that it may be more difficult for the borrower to refinance these loans or to sell the related mortgaged property for purposes of making any balloon payment on the entire balance of such loans and the related additional debt at maturity or on the related anticipated repayment date.

With respect to mezzanine financing (if any), while a mezzanine lender has no security interest in the related mortgaged properties, a default under a mezzanine loan could cause a change in control of the related borrower. With respect to mortgage loans that permit mezzanine financing, the relative rights of the mortgagee and the related mezzanine lender will generally be set forth in an intercreditor agreement, which agreements typically provide that the rights of the mezzanine lender (including the right to payment) against the borrower and mortgaged property are subordinate to the rights of the mortgage lender and that the mezzanine lender may not take any enforcement action against the mortgage borrower and mortgaged property. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Indebtedness—Mezzanine Indebtedness” and representation and warranty number 9 on Annex D-1 and the matters scheduled on Annex D-2-1.

In addition, the mortgage loan documents related to certain mortgage loans may have or permit future “preferred equity” structures, where one or more special limited partners or members receive a preferred return in exchange for an infusion of capital or other type of equity pledge that may require payments of a specified return or of excess cash flow. Such arrangements can present risks that resemble mezzanine debt, including dilution of the

103 

borrower’s equity in the mortgaged property, stress on the cash flow in the form of a preferred return or excess cash payments, and/or potential changes in the management of the related mortgaged property in the event the preferred return is not satisfied.

Additionally, the terms of certain mortgage loans permit or require the borrowers to post letters of credit and/or surety bonds for the benefit of the related mortgage loan, which may constitute a contingent reimbursement obligation of the related borrower or an affiliate. The issuing bank or surety will not typically agree to subordination and standstill protection benefiting the mortgagee.

In addition, borrowers under most of the mortgage loans are generally permitted to incur trade payables and equipment financing, which may not be limited or may be significant, in order to operate the related mortgaged properties. Also, with respect to certain mortgage loans the related borrower either has incurred or is permitted to incur unsecured debt from an affiliate of either the borrower or the sponsor of the borrower. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Indebtedness—Other Unsecured Indebtedness”.

For additional information, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Indebtedness” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

Tenancies-in-Common May Hinder Recovery

Certain of the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity have borrowers that own the related mortgaged properties as tenants-in-common. In general, with respect to a tenant-in-common ownership structure, each tenant-in-common owns an undivided share in the property and if such tenant-in-common desires to sell its interest in the property (and is unable to find a buyer or otherwise needs to force a partition) the tenant-in-common has the ability to request that a court order a sale of the property and distribute the proceeds to each tenant in common proportionally. As a result, if a tenant-in-common that has not waived its right of partition or similar right exercises a right of partition, the related mortgage loan may be subject to prepayment. The bankruptcy, dissolution or action for partition by one or more of the tenants-in-common could result in an early repayment of the related mortgage loan, significant delay in recovery against the tenant-in-common borrowers, particularly if the tenant-in-common borrowers file for bankruptcy separately or in series (because each time a tenant-in-common borrower files for bankruptcy, the bankruptcy court stay will be reinstated), a material impairment in property management and a substantial decrease in the amount recoverable upon the related mortgage loan. Not all tenants-in-common under the mortgage loans will be single-purpose entities. Each tenant-in-common borrower has waived its right to partition, reducing the risk of partition. However, we cannot assure you that, if challenged, this waiver would be enforceable. In addition, in some cases, the related mortgage loan documents may provide for full recourse (or in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the debt) to the related tenant-in-common borrower or the guarantor if a tenant-in-common files for partition. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Tenancies-in-Common or Diversified Ownership” in this prospectus.

Risks Relating to Enforceability of Yield Maintenance Charges, Prepayment Premiums or Defeasance Provisions

Provisions requiring yield maintenance charges, prepayment premiums or lockout periods may not be enforceable in some states and under federal bankruptcy law. Provisions requiring prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges also may be

104 

interpreted as constituting the collection of interest for usury purposes. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the obligation to pay a yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium will be enforceable. Also, we cannot assure you that foreclosure proceeds will be sufficient to pay an enforceable yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium.

Additionally, although the collateral substitution provisions related to defeasance do not have the same effect on the certificateholders as prepayment, we cannot assure you that a court would not interpret those provisions as the equivalent of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium. In certain jurisdictions those collateral substitution provisions might therefore be deemed unenforceable or usurious under applicable law or public policy.

Risks Associated with One Action Rules

Several states (such as California) have laws that prohibit more than one “judicial action” to enforce a mortgage obligation, and some courts have construed the term “judicial action” broadly. Accordingly, the special servicer will be required to obtain advice of counsel prior to enforcing any of the issuing entity’s rights under any of the mortgage loans that include mortgaged properties where a “one action” rule could be applicable. In the case of a multi-property mortgage loan which is secured by mortgaged properties located in multiple states, the special servicer may be required to foreclose first on properties located in states where “one action” rules apply (and where non-judicial foreclosure is permitted) before foreclosing on properties located in states where judicial foreclosure is the only permitted method of foreclosure. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Foreclosure”.

State Law Limitations on Assignments of Leases and Rents May Entail Risks

Generally mortgage loans included in an issuing entity secured by mortgaged properties that are subject to leases typically will be secured by an assignment of leases and rents pursuant to which the related borrower (or with respect to any indemnity deed of trust structure, the related property owner) assigns to the lender its right, title and interest as landlord under the leases of the related mortgaged properties, and the income derived from those leases, as further security for the related mortgage loan, while retaining a license to collect rents for so long as there is no default. If the borrower defaults, the license terminates and the lender is entitled to collect rents. Some state laws may require that the lender take possession of the related property and obtain a judicial appointment of a receiver before becoming entitled to collect the rents. In addition, if bankruptcy or similar proceedings are commenced by or in respect of the borrower, the lender’s ability to collect the rents may be adversely affected. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Leases and Rents” and “—Foreclosure—Bankruptcy Laws”.

Various Other Laws Could Affect the Exercise of Lender’s Rights

The laws of the jurisdictions in which the mortgaged properties are located (which laws may vary substantially) govern many of the legal aspects of the mortgage loans. These laws may affect the ability to foreclose on, and, in turn the ability to realize value from, the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans. For example, state law determines:

● what proceedings are required for foreclosure;

● whether the borrower and any foreclosed junior lienors may redeem the property and the conditions under which these rights of redemption may be exercised;

● whether and to what extent recourse to the borrower is permitted; and

105 

● what rights junior mortgagees have and whether the amount of fees and interest that lenders may charge is limited.

In addition, the laws of some jurisdictions may render certain provisions of the mortgage loans unenforceable or subject to limitations which may affect lender’s rights under the mortgage loans. Delays in liquidations of defaulted mortgage loans and shortfalls in amounts realized upon liquidation as a result of the application of these laws may create delays and shortfalls in payments to certificateholders. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans”.

In a recent decision, Game Place, L.L.C. v. Fredericksburg 35, LLC, 813 S.E.2d 312 (Va. 2018), the Supreme Court of Virginia held a commercial lease unenforceable on the grounds that the lease was not validly conveyed as a deed under state law because the deed did not comply with the state’s requirement that all valid deeds include a seal or scroll or an approved acceptable substitute for a seal. Parties to an unsealed lease otherwise subject to the related state law have an implied tenancy from the manner in which rent is received, such that monthly rent payments would imply a month-to-month tenancy. Seven (7) of the Mortgaged Properties, collectively representing approximately 5.1% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, are located in the state of Virginia. We cannot assure you that leases at such mortgaged properties are in compliance with Virginia law as interpreted by this decision, nor can we assure you that any such lease will qualify as a valid lease enforceable against the related tenant.

Risks of Anticipated Repayment Date Loans

Certain of the mortgage loans provide that, if after a certain date (referred to as the anticipated repayment date) the related borrower has not prepaid the mortgage loan in full, any principal outstanding after that anticipated repayment date will accrue interest at an increased interest rate rather than the stated mortgage loan rate. Generally, from and after the anticipated repayment date, cash flow in excess of that required for debt service, the funding of reserves and certain approved operating expenses with respect to the related mortgaged property will be applied toward the payment of principal (without payment of a yield maintenance charge) of the related mortgage loan until its principal balance has been reduced to zero. Although these provisions may create an incentive for the borrower to repay the mortgage loan in full on its anticipated repayment date, a substantial payment would be required and the borrower has no obligation to do so. While interest at the initial mortgage rate continues to accrue and be payable on a current basis on the mortgage loan after its anticipated repayment date, the payment of excess interest will be deferred and will be required to be paid only after the outstanding principal balance of the related mortgage loan has been paid in full, at which time the excess interest that has been deferred, to the extent actually collected, will be paid to the holders of the Class V certificates, which is not offered by this prospectus. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—ARD Loans”.

The Absence of Lockboxes Entails Risks That Could Adversely Affect Distributions on Your Certificates

Certain of the mortgage loans may not require the related borrower to cause rent and other payments to be made into a lockbox account maintained on behalf of the mortgagee, although some of those mortgage loans do provide for a springing lockbox. If rental payments are not required to be made directly into a lockbox account, there is a risk that the borrower will divert such funds for other purposes.

106 

Borrower May Be Unable to Repay Remaining Principal Balance on Maturity Date or Anticipated Repayment Date; Longer Amortization Schedules and Interest-Only Provisions Increase Risk

Mortgage loans with substantial remaining principal balances at their stated maturity date or anticipated repayment date, as applicable, involve greater risk than fully-amortizing mortgage loans because the borrower may be unable to repay the mortgage loan at that time. In addition, fully amortizing mortgage loans which may pay interest on an “actual/360” basis but have fixed monthly payments may, in effect, have a small balloon payment due at maturity or on the related anticipated repayment date.

Most of the mortgage loans have amortization schedules that are significantly longer than their respective terms to maturity or anticipated repayment date, as applicable, and many of the mortgage loans require only payments of interest for part or all of their respective terms. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Due Dates; Mortgage Rates; Calculations of Interest”. A longer amortization schedule or an interest-only provision in a mortgage loan will result in a higher amount of principal outstanding under the mortgage loan at any particular time, including at the maturity date or anticipated repayment date of the mortgage loan, than would have otherwise been the case had a shorter amortization schedule been used or had the mortgage loan had a shorter interest-only period or not included an interest-only provision at all. That higher principal amount outstanding could both (i) make it more difficult for the related borrower to make the required balloon payment at maturity or to repay the outstanding principal amount at the anticipated repayment date and (ii) lead to increased losses for the issuing entity either during the loan term or at maturity or at the anticipated repayment date if the mortgage loan becomes a defaulted mortgage loan.

A borrower’s ability to repay a mortgage loan on its stated maturity date or anticipated repayment date, as applicable, typically will depend upon its ability either to refinance the mortgage loan or to sell the mortgaged property at a price sufficient to permit repayment. A borrower’s ability to achieve either of these goals will be affected by a number of factors, including:

● the availability of, and competition for, credit for commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community real estate projects, which fluctuate over time;

● the prevailing interest rates;

● the net operating income generated by the mortgaged property;

● the fair market value of the related mortgaged property;

● the borrower’s equity in the related mortgaged property;

● significant tenant rollover at the related mortgaged properties (see “—Retail Properties Have Special Risks” and “—Office Properties Have Special Risks” above);

● the borrower’s financial condition;

● the operating history and occupancy level of the mortgaged property;

● reductions in applicable government assistance/rent subsidy programs;

● the tax laws; and

107 

● prevailing general and regional economic conditions.

With respect to any mortgage loan that is part of a whole loan, the risks relating to balloon payment obligations are enhanced by the existence and amount of any related companion loan.

None of the sponsors, any party to the pooling and servicing agreement or any other person will be under any obligation to refinance any mortgage loan. However, in order to maximize recoveries on defaulted mortgage loans, the pooling and servicing agreement permits the special servicer (and the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced whole loan may permit the related special servicer) to extend and modify mortgage loans in a manner consistent with the servicing standard, subject to the limitations described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Realization Upon Mortgage Loans” and “—Modifications, Waivers and Amendments”.

Neither the master servicer nor the special servicer will have the ability to extend or modify a non-serviced mortgage loan because such mortgage loan is being serviced by the master servicer or special servicer pursuant to the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of the applicable non-serviced whole loan. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

We cannot assure you that any extension or modification will increase the present value of recoveries in a given case. Whether or not losses are ultimately sustained, any delay in collection of a balloon payment that would otherwise be distributable on your certificates, whether such delay is due to borrower default or to modification of the related mortgage loan, will likely extend the weighted average life of your certificates.

In any event, we cannot assure you that each borrower under a balloon loan will have the ability to repay the principal balance of such mortgage loan on the related maturity date or anticipated repayment date, as applicable.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics”.

Risks Related to Ground Leases and Other Leasehold Interests

With respect to certain mortgaged properties, the encumbered interest will be characterized as a “fee interest” if (i) the borrower has a fee interest in all or substantially all of the mortgaged property (provided that if the borrower has a leasehold interest in any portion of the mortgaged property, such portion is not material to the use or operation of the mortgaged property), or (ii) the mortgage loan is secured by the borrower’s leasehold interest in the mortgaged property as well as the borrower’s (or other fee owner’s) overlapping fee interest in the related mortgaged property.

Leasehold mortgage loans are subject to certain risks not associated with mortgage loans secured by a lien on the fee estate of the borrower. The most significant of these risks is that if the related borrower’s leasehold were to be terminated upon a lease default, the lender would lose its security in the leasehold interest. Generally, each related ground lease or a lessor estoppel requires the lessor to give the lender notice of the borrower’s defaults under the ground lease and an opportunity to cure them, permits the leasehold interest to be assigned to the lender or the purchaser at a foreclosure sale, in some cases only upon the consent of the lessor, and contains certain other protective provisions typically included in a “mortgageable” ground lease, although not all these protective provisions are included in each case.

108 

Upon the bankruptcy of a lessor or a lessee under a ground lease, the debtor has the right to assume or reject the lease. If a debtor lessor rejects the lease, the lessee has the right pursuant to the federal bankruptcy code to treat such lease as terminated by rejection or remain in possession of its leased premises for the rent otherwise payable under the lease for the remaining term of the ground lease (including renewals) and to offset against such rent any damages incurred due to the landlord’s failure to perform its obligations under the lease. If a debtor lessee/borrower rejects any or all of the lease, the leasehold lender could succeed to the lessee/borrower’s position under the lease only if the lease specifically grants the lender such right. If both the lessor and the lessee/borrower are involved in bankruptcy proceedings, the issuing entity may be unable to enforce the bankrupt lessee/borrower’s pre-petition agreement to refuse to treat a ground lease rejected by a bankrupt lessor as terminated. In such circumstances, a ground lease could be terminated notwithstanding lender protection provisions contained in the ground lease or in the mortgage.

Some of the ground leases securing the mortgage loans may provide that the ground rent payable under the related ground lease increases during the term of the mortgage loan. These increases may adversely affect the cash flow and net income of the related borrower.

A leasehold lender could lose its security unless (i) the leasehold lender holds a fee mortgage, (ii) the ground lease requires the lessor to enter into a new lease with the leasehold lender upon termination or rejection of the ground lease, or (iii) the bankruptcy court, as a court of equity, allows the leasehold lender to assume the ground lessee’s obligations under the ground lease and succeed to the ground lessee’s position. Although not directly covered by the 1994 amendments to the federal bankruptcy code, such a result would be consistent with the purpose of the 1994 amendments to the federal bankruptcy code granting the holders of leasehold mortgages permitted under the terms of the lease the right to succeed to the position of a leasehold mortgagor. Although consistent with the federal bankruptcy code, such position may not be adopted by the applicable bankruptcy court.

Further, in a decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (Precision Indus. v. Qualitech Steel SBQ, LLC, 327 F.3d 537 (7th Cir. 2003)) the court ruled with respect to an unrecorded lease of real property that where a statutory sale of the fee interest in leased property occurs under the federal bankruptcy code upon the bankruptcy of a landlord, such sale terminates a lessee’s possessory interest in the property, and the purchaser assumes title free and clear of any interest, including any leasehold estates. Pursuant to the federal bankruptcy code, a lessee may request the bankruptcy court to prohibit or condition the statutory sale of the property so as to provide adequate protection of the leasehold interest; however, the court ruled that this provision does not ensure continued possession of the property, but rather entitles the lessee to compensation for the value of its leasehold interest, typically from the sale proceeds. While there are certain circumstances under which a “free and clear” sale under the federal bankruptcy code would not be authorized (including that the lessee could not be compelled in a legal or equitable proceeding to accept a monetary satisfaction of his possessory interest, and that none of the other conditions of the federal bankruptcy code otherwise permits the sale), we cannot assure you that those circumstances would be present in any proposed sale of a leased premises. As a result, we cannot assure you that, in the event of a statutory sale of leased property pursuant to the federal bankruptcy code, the lessee will be able to maintain possession of the property under the ground lease. In addition, we cannot assure you that the lessee and/or the lender will be able to recoup the full value of the leasehold interest in bankruptcy court. Most of the ground leases contain standard protections typically obtained

109 

by securitization lenders. Certain of the ground leases with respect to a mortgage loan included in the issuing entity may not. See also representation and warranty no. 36 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

Except as noted in “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Fee & Leasehold Estates; Ground Leases” in this prospectus and/or the exceptions to representation and warranty no. 36 on Annex D-1 (as indicated on Annex D-2), each of the ground leases has a term that extends at least 20 years beyond the maturity date of the mortgage loan (taking into account all freely exercisable extension options) and contains customary mortgagee protection provisions, including notice and cure rights and the right to enter into a new lease with the applicable ground lessor in the event a ground lease is rejected or terminated.

With respect to certain of the mortgage loans, the related borrower may have given to certain lessors under the related ground lease a right of first refusal in the event a sale is contemplated or an option to purchase all or a portion of the mortgaged property, and these provisions, if not waived, may impede the mortgagee’s ability to sell the related mortgaged property at foreclosure or adversely affect the foreclosure process.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Fee & Leasehold Estates; Ground Leases” and “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Foreclosure—Bankruptcy Laws”.

Increases in Real Estate Taxes May Reduce Available Funds

Certain of the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans have or may in the future have the benefit of reduced real estate taxes in connection with a local government “payment in lieu of taxes” program or other tax abatement arrangements. Upon expiration of such program or if such programs were otherwise terminated, the related borrower would be required to pay higher, and in some cases substantially higher, real estate taxes. Prior to expiration of such program, the tax benefit to the mortgaged property may decrease throughout the term of the expiration date until the expiration of such program. An increase in real estate taxes may impact the ability of the borrower to pay debt service on the mortgage loan.

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Real Estate and Other Tax Considerations” for descriptions of real estate tax matters relating to certain mortgaged properties.

State and Local Mortgage Recording Taxes May Apply Upon a Foreclosure or Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure and Reduce Net Proceeds

Many jurisdictions impose recording taxes on mortgages which, if not paid at the time of the recording of the mortgage, may impair the ability of the lender to foreclose the mortgage. Such taxes, interest, and penalties could be significant in amount and would, if imposed, reduce the net proceeds realized by the issuing entity in liquidating the real property securing the related mortgage loan.

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

Interests and Incentives of the Originators, the Sponsors and Their Affiliates May Not Be Aligned With Your Interests

The originators, the sponsors and their affiliates (including certain of the underwriters) expect to derive ancillary benefits from this offering and their respective incentives may not

110 

be aligned with those of purchasers of the offered certificates. The sponsors originated or purchased the mortgage loans in order to securitize the mortgage loans by means of a transaction such as the offering of the offered certificates. The sponsors will sell the mortgage loans to the depositor (an affiliate of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, one of the sponsors and originators, the master servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian, and of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, one of the underwriters) on the closing date in exchange for cash, derived from the sale of the offered certificates to investors and/or in exchange for offered certificates. A completed offering would reduce the originators’ exposure to the mortgage loans. The originators made the mortgage loans with a view toward securitizing them and distributing the exposure by means of a transaction such as this offering of offered certificates. In addition, certain mortgaged properties may have tenants that are affiliated with the related originator. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Affiliated Leases”. This offering of offered certificates will effectively transfer the originators’ exposure to the mortgage loans to purchasers of the offered certificates.

The originators, the sponsors and their affiliates expect to receive various benefits, including compensation, commissions, payments, rebates, remuneration and business opportunities, in connection with or as a result of this offering of offered certificates and their interests in the mortgage loans. The sponsors and their affiliates will effectively receive compensation, and may record a profit, in an amount based on, among other things, the amount of proceeds (net of transaction expenses) received from the sale of the offered certificates to investors relative to their investment in the mortgage loans. The benefits to the originators, the sponsors and their affiliates arising from the decision to securitize the mortgage loans may be greater than they would have been had other assets been selected.

Furthermore, the sponsors and/or their affiliates may benefit from a completed offering of the offered certificates because the offering would establish a market precedent and a valuation data point for securities similar to the offered certificates, thus enhancing the ability of the sponsors and their affiliates to conduct similar offerings in the future and permitting them to adjust the fair value of the mortgage loans or other similar assets or securities held on their balance sheet, including increasing the carrying value or avoiding decreasing the carrying value of some or all of such similar positions.

In some cases, the originators, the sponsors or their affiliates are the holders of the mezzanine loans, subordinate loans, unsecured loans and/or companion loans related to their mortgage loans. The originators, the sponsors and/or their respective affiliates may retain existing mezzanine loans, subordinate loans, unsecured loans and/or companion loans or originate future permitted mezzanine indebtedness, subordinate indebtedness or unsecured indebtedness with respect to the mortgage loans. These transactions may cause the originators, the sponsors and their affiliates or their clients or counterparties who purchase the mezzanine loans, subordinate loans, unsecured loans and/or companion loans, as applicable, to have economic interests and incentives that do not align with, and that may be directly contrary to, those of an investor in the offered certificates. In addition, these transactions or actions taken to maintain, adjust or unwind any positions in the future, may, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the market for the offered certificates (if any), including adversely affecting the value of the offered certificates, particularly in illiquid markets. The originators, the sponsors and their affiliates will have no obligation to take, refrain from taking or cease taking any action with respect to such companion loans or any existing or future mezzanine loans, subordinate loans and/or unsecured loans, based on the potential effect on an investor in the offered certificates, and may receive substantial returns from these transactions. In addition, the

111 

originators, the sponsors or any of their respective affiliates may benefit from certain relationships, including financial dealings, with any borrower, any non-recourse carveout guarantor or any of their respective affiliates, aside from the origination of mortgage loans or contribution of mortgage loans into this securitization. Conflicts may also arise because the sponsors and their respective affiliates intend to continue to actively acquire, develop, operate, finance and dispose of real estate-related assets in the ordinary course of their businesses. During the course of their business activities, the sponsors and their respective affiliates may acquire, sell or lease properties, or finance loans secured by properties, which may include the properties securing the mortgage loans or properties that are in the same markets as the mortgaged properties. Such other properties, similar to other third-party owned real estate, may compete with the mortgaged properties for existing and potential tenants. The sponsors may also, from time to time, be among the tenants at the mortgaged properties, and they should be expected to make occupancy-related decisions based on their self-interest and not that of the issuing entity. We cannot assure you that the activities of these parties with respect to such other properties will not adversely impact the performance of the mortgaged properties.

In addition, certain of the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity may have been refinancings of debt previously held by a sponsor, an originator or one of their respective affiliates, or a sponsor, an originator or one of their respective affiliates may have or have had equity investments in the borrowers or mortgaged properties under certain of the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity. Each of the sponsors, the originators and their respective affiliates have made and/or may make loans to, or equity investments in, affiliates of the borrowers under the related mortgage loans. In the circumstances described above, the interests of the sponsors, the originators and their respective affiliates may differ from, and compete with, the interests of the issuing entity.

Moreover, an affiliate of Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC is expected to be appointed as the initial directing certificateholder. See “—Potential Conflicts of Interest of the Directing Certificateholder and the Companion Holders” below.

Further, various originators, sponsors and their respective affiliates are acting in multiple capacities in or with respect to this transaction, which may include, without limitation, acting as one or more transaction parties or a subcontractor or vendor of such party, participating in or contracting for interim servicing and/or custodial services with certain transaction parties, providing warehouse financing to, or receiving warehouse financing from, certain other originators or sponsors prior to transfer of the related mortgage loans to the issuing entity, and/or conducting due diligence on behalf of an investor with respect to the mortgage loans prior to their transfer to the issuing entity.

Each of these relationships may create a conflict of interest. For a description of certain of the foregoing relationships and arrangements that exist among the parties to this securitization, see “Certain Affiliations, Relationships And Related Transactions Involving Transaction Parties” and “Transaction Parties”.

These roles and other potential relationships may give rise to conflicts of interest as described in “—Interests and Incentives of the Underwriter Entities May Not Be Aligned With Your Interests”, “—Potential Conflicts of Interest in the Selection of the Underlying Mortgage Loans” and “—Other Potential Conflicts of Interest May Affect Your Investment” below. Each of the foregoing relationships and related interests should be considered carefully by you before you invest in any offered certificates.

112 

Interests and Incentives of the Underwriter Entities May Not Be Aligned With Your Interests

The activities and interests of the underwriters and their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Underwriter Entities”) will not align with, and may in fact be directly contrary to, those of the certificateholders. The Underwriter Entities are each part of separate global investment banking, securities and investment management firms that provide a wide range of financial services to a substantial and diversified client base that includes corporations, financial institutions, governments and high-net-worth individuals. As such, they actively make markets in and trade financial instruments for their own account and for the accounts of customers. These financial instruments include debt and equity securities, currencies, commodities, bank loans, indices, baskets and other products. The Underwriter Entities’ activities include, among other things, executing large block trades and taking long and short positions directly and indirectly, through derivative instruments or otherwise. The securities and instruments in which the Underwriter Entities take positions, or expect to take positions, include loans similar to the mortgage loans, securities and instruments similar to the offered certificates and other securities and instruments. Market making is an activity where the Underwriter Entities buy and sell on behalf of customers, or for their own account, to satisfy the expected demand of customers. By its nature, market making involves facilitating transactions among market participants that have differing views of securities and instruments. Any short positions taken by the Underwriter Entities and/or their clients through marketing or otherwise will increase in value if the related securities or other instruments decrease in value, while positions taken by the Underwriter Entities and/or their clients in credit derivative or other derivative transactions with other parties, pursuant to which the Underwriter Entities and/or their clients sell or buy credit protection with respect to one or more classes of the offered certificates, may increase in value if the offered certificates default, are expected to default, or decrease in value.

The Underwriter Entities and their clients acting through them may execute such transactions, modify or terminate such derivative positions and otherwise act with respect to such transactions, and may exercise or enforce, or refrain from exercising or enforcing, any or all of their rights and powers in connection therewith, without regard to whether any such action might have an adverse effect on the offered certificates or the certificateholders. Additionally, none of the Underwriter Entities will have any obligation to disclose any of these securities or derivatives transactions to you in your capacity as a certificateholder. As a result, you should expect that the Underwriter Entities will take positions that are inconsistent with, or adverse to, the investment objectives of investors in the offered certificates.

As a result of the Underwriter Entities’ various financial market activities, including acting as a research provider, investment advisor, market maker or principal investor, you should expect that personnel in various businesses throughout the Underwriter Entities will have and express research or investment views and make recommendations that are inconsistent with, or adverse to, the objectives of investors in the offered certificates.

If an Underwriter Entity becomes a holder of any of the certificates, through market-making activity or otherwise, any actions that it takes in its capacity as a certificateholder, including voting, providing consents or otherwise will not necessarily be aligned with the interests of other holders of the same class or other classes of the certificates. To the extent an Underwriter Entity makes a market in the certificates (which it is under no obligation to do), it would expect to receive income from the spreads between its bid and offer prices for the certificates. The price at which an Underwriter Entity may be willing to purchase certificates, if it makes a market, will depend on market conditions and other

113 

relevant factors and may be significantly lower than the issue price for the certificates and significantly lower than the price at which it may be willing to sell certificates.

In addition, none of the Underwriter Entities will have any obligation to monitor the performance of the certificates or the actions of the parties to the pooling and servicing agreement and will have no authority to advise any party to the pooling and servicing agreement or to direct their actions.

Furthermore, each Underwriter Entity expects that a completed offering will enhance its ability to assist clients and counterparties in the transaction or in related transactions (including assisting clients in additional purchases and sales of the certificates and hedging transactions). The Underwriter Entities expect to derive fees and other revenues from these transactions. In addition, participating in a successful offering and providing related services to clients may enhance the Underwriter Entities’ relationships with various parties, facilitate additional business development, and enable them to obtain additional business and generate additional revenue.

Further, certain Underwriter Entities and their respective affiliates are acting in multiple capacities in or with respect to this transaction, which may include, without limitation, acting as one or more transaction parties or a subcontractor or vendor of such party, participating in or contracting for interim servicing and/or custodial services with certain transaction parties, providing warehouse financing to, or receiving warehouse financing from, certain other originators or sponsors prior to transfer of the related mortgage loans to the issuing entity, and/or conducting due diligence on behalf of an investor with respect to the mortgage loans prior to their transfer to the issuing entity.

For a description of certain of the foregoing and additional relationships and arrangements that exist among the parties to this securitization, see “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers” and “Certain Affiliations, Relationships and Related Transactions Involving Transaction Parties”.

Each of the foregoing relationships should be considered carefully by you before you invest in any certificates.

Potential Conflicts of Interest of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer

The pooling and servicing agreement provides that the mortgage loans serviced thereunder are required to be administered in accordance with the servicing standard without regard to ownership of any certificate by the master servicer, the special servicer or any of their respective affiliates. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing Standard”. The trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced whole loan provides that such non-serviced whole loan is required to be administered in accordance with a servicing standard that is substantially similar in all material respects but not necessarily identical to the servicing standard set forth in the pooling and servicing agreement. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the master servicer, each sub-servicer and the special servicer or any of their respective affiliates and, as it relates to servicing and administration of a non-serviced mortgage loan, the master servicer, sub-servicer, special servicer or any of their respective affiliates under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of such non-serviced whole loan, may have interests when dealing with the mortgage loans that are in conflict with those of holders of the certificates, especially if the master servicer, sub-servicer, special servicer or any of

114 

their respective affiliates holds certificates or securities relating to any applicable companion loan, or has financial interests in or financial dealings with a borrower or a borrower sponsor.

Furthermore, nothing in the pooling and servicing agreement or otherwise will prohibit the master servicer or special servicer or an affiliate thereof from soliciting the refinancing of any of the mortgage loans. In the event that the master servicer or special servicer or an affiliate thereof refinances any of the mortgage loans included in the mortgage pool, an earlier than expected payoff of any such mortgage loan could occur, which would result in a prepayment, which such prepayment could have an adverse effect on the yield of the certificates. See “—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Your Yield May Be Affected by Defaults, Prepayments and Other Factors” in this prospectus.

In order to minimize the effect of certain of these conflicts of interest as they relate to the special servicer, for so long as the special servicer obtains knowledge that it has become a borrower party with respect to a mortgage loan (each such mortgage loan referred to herein as an “excluded special servicer loan”), the special servicer will be required to resign as special servicer with respect to that mortgage loan and, prior to the occurrence of a control termination event under the pooling and servicing agreement, the directing certificateholder will be required to select a separate special servicer that is not a borrower party (referred to herein as an “excluded special servicer”) with respect to any excluded special servicer loan, unless such excluded special servicer loan is also an excluded loan. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a control termination event or at any time the applicable excluded special servicer loan is also an excluded loan, the resigning special servicer will be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint the excluded special servicer. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Replacement of the Special Servicer Without Cause”. Any excluded special servicer will be required to perform all of the obligations of the special servicer with respect to such excluded special servicer loan and will be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such excluded special servicer loan earned during such time as the related mortgage loan is an excluded special servicer loan. While the special servicer will have the same access to information related to the excluded special servicer loan as it does with respect to the other mortgage loans, the special servicer will covenant in the pooling and servicing agreement that it will not directly or indirectly provide any information related to any excluded special servicer loan to the related borrower party, any of the special servicer’s employees or personnel or any of its affiliates involved in the management of any investment in the related borrower party or the related mortgaged property or, to its actual knowledge, any non-affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related borrower party, and will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with those obligations. Notwithstanding those restrictions, there can be no assurance that the related borrower party will not obtain sensitive information related to the strategy of any contemplated workout or liquidation related to an excluded special servicer loan.

Each of these relationships may create a conflict of interest. For instance, if the special servicer or its affiliate holds a subordinate class of certificates, the special servicer might seek to reduce the potential for losses allocable to those certificates from the mortgage loans by deferring acceleration in hope of maximizing future proceeds. However, that action could result in less proceeds to the issuing entity than would be realized if earlier action had been taken. In addition, no servicer is required to act in a manner more favorable to the offered certificates or any particular class of certificates than to the WFCM 2018-C48 non-offered certificates.

115 

The master servicer and the special servicer service and are expected to continue to service, in the ordinary course of their respective businesses, existing and new mortgage loans for third parties, including portfolios of mortgage loans similar to the mortgage loans. The real properties securing these other mortgage loans may be in the same markets as, and compete with, certain of the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans. Consequently, personnel of the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, may perform services, on behalf of the issuing entity, with respect to the mortgage loans at the same time as they are performing services, on behalf of other persons, with respect to other mortgage loans secured by properties that compete with the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans. In addition, the mortgage loan sellers will determine who will service mortgage loans that the mortgage loan sellers originate in the future, and that determination may be influenced by the mortgage loan seller’s opinion of servicing decisions made by the master servicer or the special servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement including, among other things, the manner in which the master servicer or special servicer enforces breaches of representations and warranties against the related mortgage loan seller. This may pose inherent conflicts for the master servicer or special servicer.

The special servicer may enter into one or more arrangements with the directing certificateholder, a controlling class certificateholder, other certificateholders (or an affiliate or a third party representative of one or more of the preceding parties) or a serviced companion loan holder to provide for a discount and/or revenue sharing with respect to certain of the special servicer compensation in consideration of, among other things, the special servicer’s appointment (or continuance) as special servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement and/or the related intercreditor agreement and limitations on the right of such person to replace the special servicer. See “—Other Potential Conflicts of Interest May Affect Your Investment” below.

Although the master servicer and special servicer will be required to service and administer the mortgage loan pool in accordance with the servicing standard and, accordingly, without regard to their rights to receive compensation under the pooling and servicing agreement and without regard to any potential obligation to repurchase or substitute a mortgage loan if the master servicer or special servicer is a mortgage loan seller, the possibility of receiving additional servicing compensation in the nature of assumption and modification fees, the continuation of receiving fees to service or specially service a mortgage loan, or the desire to avoid a repurchase demand resulting from a breach of a representation and warranty or material document default may under certain circumstances provide the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, with an economic disincentive to comply with this standard.

LNR Partners assisted Argentic Securities Holdings Cayman Limited (or its affiliate), which is expected to purchase the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class H-RR and Class V certificates and is expected to be appointed as the initial directing certificateholder, with due diligence relating to the mortgage loans to be included in the mortgage pool.

LNR Partners is also (i) expected to be the special servicer under the BBCMS 2018-C2 PSA, which is expected to govern the servicing of the Home Depot Technology Center whole loan and an LNR Partners affiliate, LNR Securities Holdings, LLC (“LNRSH”) is expected to be the directing certificateholder, and (ii) the special servicer under the Benchmark 2018-B7 PSA, which currently governs the servicing of the Liberty Portfolio whole loan and LNRSH is currently the owner of a minority interest in the controlling class.

It is expected that Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a sponsor, an originator, a mortgage loan seller and the holder of one of the Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio

116 

companion loans, will act as master servicer. In addition, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association will act as the certificate administrator and the custodian under this securitization and is an affiliate of Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., the depositor, and of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, one of the underwriters. In addition, Wells Fargo Bank is (i) the master servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the WFCM 2018-C47 PSA, which governs the servicing and administration of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio whole loan and the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio whole loan, (ii) the servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the BBCMS 2018-CHRS TSA, which governs the servicing and administration of the Christiana Mall whole loan, (iii) the applicable master servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the BANK 2018-BNK14 PSA, which governs the servicing and administration of the Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio whole loan, (iv) the servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the Aventura Mall Trust 2018-AVM TSA, which governs the servicing and administration of the Aventura Mall whole loan, (v) expected to be the master servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the BBCMS 2018-C2 PSA, which is expected to govern the servicing and administration of the Home Depot Technology Center whole loan, (vi) the trustee, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the Benchmark 2018-B7 PSA, which governs the servicing and administration of the Liberty Portfolio whole loan, and (vii) the applicable master servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the BANK 2018-BNK12 PSA, which governs the servicing and administration of the Fair Oaks Mall whole loan.

Each of the foregoing relationships should be considered carefully by you before you invest in any certificates.

Potential Conflicts of Interest of the Operating Advisor

Pentalpha Surveillance LLC has been appointed as the initial operating advisor with respect to all of the mortgage loans other than any non-serviced mortgage loan. See “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer”. In the normal course of conducting its business, the initial operating advisor and its affiliates may have rendered services to, performed surveillance of, provided valuation services to, and negotiated with, numerous parties engaged in activities related to structured finance and commercial mortgage securitization. These parties may have included institutional investors, the depositor, the sponsors, the mortgage loan sellers, the originators, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer, the directing certificateholder, mortgaged property owners and their vendors or affiliates of any of those parties. These relationships may continue in the future. In the normal course of business, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC and its affiliates are hired by trustees and other transaction parties to perform valuation services with respect to properties that may have mortgages attached. Each of these relationships, to the extent they exist, may continue in the future and may involve a conflict of interest with respect to the initial operating advisor’s duties as operating advisor. We cannot assure you that the existence of these relationships and other relationships in the future will not impact the manner in which the initial operating advisor performs its duties under the pooling and servicing agreement.

The operating advisor or its affiliates may have duties with respect to existing and new mortgage loans for itself, its affiliates or third parties, including portfolios of mortgage loans similar to the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity. These other mortgage loans and the related mortgaged properties may be in the same markets as, or have owners, obligors or property managers in common with, one or more of the mortgage loans in the issuing entity and the related mortgaged properties. As a result of the investments and activities described above, the interests of the operating advisor and its affiliates and their clients may differ from, and conflict with, the interests of the issuing entity. Consequently,

117 

personnel of Pentalpha Surveillance LLC may perform services, on behalf of the issuing entity, with respect to the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity at the same time as they are performing services, on behalf of other persons, with respect to other mortgage loans secured by properties that compete with the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity. This may pose inherent conflicts of interest for the initial operating advisor. Although the operating advisor is required to consider the servicing standard in connection with its activities under the pooling and servicing agreement, the operating advisor will not itself be bound by the servicing standard.

In addition, the operating advisor and its affiliates may acquire or have interests that are in conflict with those of certificateholders if the operating advisor or any of its affiliates has financial interests in or financial dealings with a borrower, a parent or a sponsor of a borrower, a servicer or any of their affiliates. Each of these relationships may also create a conflict of interest.

Potential Conflicts of Interest of the Asset Representations Reviewer

Pentalpha Surveillance LLC has been appointed as the initial asset representations reviewer with respect to all of the mortgage loans. See “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer”. In the normal course of conducting its business, the initial asset representations reviewer and its affiliates have rendered services to, performed surveillance of, provided valuation services to, and negotiated with, numerous parties engaged in activities related to structured finance and commercial mortgage securitization. These parties may have included institutional investors, the depositor, the sponsors, the mortgage loan sellers, the originators, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer or the directing certificateholder, collateral property owners and their vendors or affiliates of any of those parties. Each of these relationships, to the extent they exist, may continue in the future and may involve a conflict of interest with respect to the initial asset representations reviewer’s duties as asset representations reviewer. We cannot assure you that the existence of these relationships and other relationships in the future will not impact the manner in which the initial asset representations reviewer performs its duties under the pooling and servicing agreement.

The asset representations reviewer or its affiliates may have duties with respect to existing and new mortgage loans for itself, its affiliates or third parties, including portfolios of mortgage loans similar to the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity. These other mortgage loans and the related mortgaged properties may be in the same markets as, or have owners, obligors or property managers in common with, one or more of the mortgage loans in the issuing entity and the related mortgaged properties. As a result of the investments and activities described above, the interests of the asset representations reviewer and its affiliates and their clients may differ from, and conflict with, the interests of the issuing entity. Consequently, personnel of Pentalpha Surveillance LLC may perform services, on behalf of the issuing entity, with respect to the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity at the same time as they are performing services, on behalf of other persons, with respect to other mortgage loans secured by properties that compete with the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity. This may pose inherent conflicts of interest for the initial asset representations reviewer.

In addition, the asset representations reviewer and its affiliates may acquire or have interests that are in conflict with those of certificateholders if the asset representations reviewer or any of its affiliates has financial interests in or financial dealings with a

118 

borrower, a parent or a sponsor of a borrower, a servicer or any of their affiliates. Each of these relationships may also create a conflict of interest.

Potential Conflicts of Interest of the Directing Certificateholder and the Companion Holders

It is expected that Argentic Securities Income USA LLC, an affiliate of Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC, a sponsor, originator and loan seller, or an affiliate thereof will be appointed as the initial directing certificateholder. The special servicer may, at the direction of the directing certificateholder (for so long as a control termination event does not exist and, at all times, other than with respect to any excluded loan), take actions with respect to the specially serviced loans that could adversely affect the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates. The directing certificateholder will be controlled by the controlling class certificateholders.

The controlling class certificateholders and the holder of any companion loan or securities backed by such companion loan may have interests in conflict with those of the other certificateholders. As a result, it is possible that (i) the directing certificateholder on behalf of the controlling class certificateholders (for so long as a control termination event does not exist and, at all times, other than with respect to any excluded loan or non-serviced whole loan), or (ii) the directing certificateholder (or equivalent entity) under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced whole loan, may direct the special servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement or the special servicer under such trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement relating to the securitization transaction governing the servicing of such non-serviced whole loan, as the case may be, to take actions that conflict with the interests of holders of certain classes of the certificates. Set forth below is the identity of the initial directing certificateholder (or equivalent entity) for each non-serviced whole loan, the securitization trust or other entity holding the controlling note in such non-serviced whole loan and the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement under which it is being serviced.

Whole Loan	Non-Serviced PSA	Controlling Noteholder	Initial Directing Party(1)
Starwood Hotel Portfolio	WFCM 2018-C47	WFCM 2018-C47	KKR Real Estate Credit Opportunity Partners Aggregator I L.P.

⁽¹⁾ As of the closing date of the related securitization. The entity with the heading “Initial Directing Party” above reflects the party entitled to exercise control and consultation rights with respect to the related mortgage loan similar to those of the directing certificateholder under the pooling and servicing agreement for this securitization until such party’s rights are terminated pursuant to the related pooling and servicing agreement or intercreditor agreement, as applicable.

⁽²⁾ No initial directing party had been appointed as of the closing date of the related securitization.

⁽³⁾ The BBCMS 2018-C2 transaction is expected to close on or about December 20, 2018.

119 

⁽⁴⁾ The initial directing party is the holder of the representative of the subordinate companion loans (or if a representative has not been selected, the holder of a majority of the subordinate companion loans), who will have certain control and consultation rights with respect to the related mortgage loan until the occurrence of a control appraisal period pursuant to the related intercreditor agreement. During the control appraisal period, the directing certificateholder (or equivalent entity) under the identified servicing agreement is expected to exercise such control and consultation rights until such rights are terminated pursuant to such servicing agreement.

The controlling noteholder or directing certificateholder for each non-serviced whole loan has certain consent and/or consultation rights with respect to the related non-serviced whole loan under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of that non-serviced whole loan. Such controlling noteholder or directing certificateholder does not have any duties to the holders of any class of certificates and may have similar conflicts of interest with the holders of other certificates backed by the companion loans. As a result, it is possible that a controlling noteholder of a non-serviced whole loan (solely with respect to the related non-serviced whole loan) may advise a non-serviced special servicer to take actions that conflict with the interests of holders of certain classes of the certificates. However, such non-serviced special servicer is not permitted to take actions that are prohibited by law or that violate its servicing standard or the terms of the related mortgage loan documents. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”. In addition, except as limited by certain conditions described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”, a non-serviced special servicer may be replaced by the related directing certificateholder or controlling noteholder for cause at any time and without cause for so long as a control termination event (or its equivalent) does not exist. See “—Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loan”.

With respect to serviced whole loans, the special servicer, upon strictly non-binding consultation with a serviced companion loan holder or its representative, may take actions with respect to the related serviced whole loan that could adversely affect the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates, to the extent described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”. In connection with a pari passu whole loan serviced under the pooling and servicing agreement for this securitization, a serviced companion loan holder does not have any duties to the holders of any class of certificates, and it may have interests in conflict with those of the certificateholders. As a result, it is possible that a serviced companion loan holder with respect to a serviced whole loan (solely with respect to the related serviced whole loan) may, on a strictly non-binding basis, consult with the special servicer and recommend that the special servicer take actions that conflict with the interests of holders of certain classes of the certificates. However, the special servicer is not required to follow such recommendations and is not permitted to take actions that are prohibited by law or that violate the servicing standard or the terms of the mortgage loan documents and is otherwise under no obligation to take direction from a serviced companion loan holder.

In addition, except as limited by certain conditions described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for Cause—Servicer Termination Events”, the special servicer may be replaced by the directing certificateholder at any time for cause or without cause (for so long as a control termination event does not exist and other than in respect of any excluded loan). See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder” and “—Termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for Cause—Servicer Termination Events”.

The directing certificateholder, any controlling noteholder or their respective affiliates (and the directing certificateholder (or equivalent entity) under a trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced whole loan and their respective affiliates) may have interests that are in conflict with those

120 

of certain certificateholders, especially if the applicable directing certificateholder, controlling noteholder or any of their respective affiliates holds certificates or companion loan securities, or has financial interests in or other financial dealings (as lender or otherwise) with a borrower or an affiliate of a borrower. In order to minimize the effect of certain of these conflicts of interest, for so long as any borrower party is the directing certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the controlling class (any such mortgage loan referred to herein as an “excluded loan” with respect to the directing certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the controlling class), the directing certificateholder will not have consent or consultation rights solely with respect to the related excluded loan (however, the directing certificateholder will be provided certain notices and certain information relating to such excluded loan as described in the pooling and servicing agreement). In addition, for so long as any borrower party is the directing certificateholder or a controlling class certificateholder, as applicable, the directing certificateholder or such controlling class certificateholder, as applicable, will not be given access to any “excluded information” solely relating to the related excluded loan and/or the related mortgaged properties pursuant to the terms of the pooling and servicing agreement. Notwithstanding those restrictions, there can be no assurance that the directing certificateholder or any controlling class certificateholder will not obtain sensitive information related to the strategy of any contemplated workout or liquidation related to an excluded loan or otherwise seek to exert its influence over the special servicer in the event an excluded loan becomes subject to a workout or liquidation. See “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information” in this prospectus. Each of these relationships may create a conflict of interest.

The purchase option that the holders of subordinate companion loan(s) relating to the non-serviced AB whole loan hold pursuant to the related intercreditor agreement generally permits such holders to purchase the related defaulted whole loan as described in “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loan—The Fair Oaks Mall Whole Loan—Purchase Option”. In addition, the related subordinate companion loan holders’ right to cure defaults under the related defaulted loan could delay the issuing entity’s ability to realize on or otherwise take action with respect to such defaulted loan.

Potential Conflicts of Interest in the Selection of the Underlying Mortgage Loans

The anticipated initial investor in the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class H-RR and Class V certificates, which is referred to in this prospectus as the “b-piece buyer” (see “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder—General”), was given the opportunity by the sponsors to perform due diligence on the mortgage loans originally identified by the sponsors for inclusion in the issuing entity, and to request the removal, re-sizing or change in the expected repayment dates or other features of some or all of the mortgage loans. The mortgage pool as originally proposed by the sponsors was adjusted based on certain of these requests. In addition, the b-piece buyer received or may have received price adjustments or cost mitigation arrangements in connection with accepting certain mortgage loans in the mortgage pool.

We cannot assure you that you or another investor would have made the same requests to modify the original pool as the b-piece buyer or that the final pool as influenced by the b-piece buyer’s feedback will not adversely affect the performance of your certificates and benefit the performance of the b-piece buyer’s certificates. Because of the differing subordination levels, the b-piece buyer has interests that may, in some circumstances, differ from those of purchasers of other classes of certificates, and may desire a portfolio composition that benefits the b-piece buyer but that does not benefit other investors. In

121 

addition, the b-piece buyer may enter into hedging or other transactions (except as may be restricted pursuant to the credit risk retention rules) or otherwise have business objectives that also could cause its interests with respect to the mortgage pool to diverge from those of other purchasers of the certificates. The b-piece buyer performed due diligence solely for its own benefit and has no liability to any person or entity for conducting its due diligence. The b-piece buyer is not required to take into account the interests of any other investor in the certificates in exercising remedies or voting or other rights in its capacity as owner of its certificates or in making requests or recommendations to the sponsors as to the selection of the mortgage loans and the establishment of other transaction terms. Investors are not entitled to rely on in any way the b-piece buyer’s acceptance of a mortgage loan. The b-piece buyer’s acceptance of a mortgage loan does not constitute, and may not be construed as, an endorsement of such mortgage loan, the underwriting for such mortgage loan or the originator of such mortgage loan.

The b-piece buyer will have no liability to any certificateholder for any actions taken by it as described in the preceding two paragraphs and the pooling and servicing agreement will provide that each certificateholder, by its acceptance of a certificate, waives any claims against such buyers in respect of such actions.

Argentic Securities Income USA LLC, or an affiliate thereof, will constitute the initial directing certificateholder. The directing certificateholder will have certain rights to direct and consult with the special servicer. In addition, the directing certificateholder will generally have certain consultation rights with regard to the non-serviced mortgage loans under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of such non-serviced whole loan and the related intercreditor agreement. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loan”.

Because the incentives and actions of the b-piece buyer may, in some circumstances, differ from or be adverse to those of purchasers of the offered certificates, you are advised and encouraged to make your own investment decision based on a careful review of the information set forth in this prospectus and your own view of the mortgage pool.

Conflicts of Interest May Occur as a Result of the Rights of the Applicable Directing Certificateholder To Terminate the Special Servicer of the Applicable Whole Loan

With respect to each whole loan, the directing certificateholder exercising control rights over that whole loan will be entitled, under certain circumstances, to remove the special servicer under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement or trust and servicing agreement governing the servicing of such whole loan and, in such circumstances, appoint a successor special servicer for such whole loan (or have certain consent rights with respect to such removal or replacement). The party with this appointment power may have special relationships or interests that conflict with those of the holders of one or more classes of certificates. In addition, that party does not have any duties to the holders of any class of certificates, may act solely in its own interests, and will have no liability to any certificateholders for having done so. No certificateholder may take any action against the directing certificateholder under the pooling and servicing agreement for this securitization or under the pooling and servicing agreement or trust and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced whole loan, or against any other parties for having acted solely in their respective interests. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans” for a description of these rights to terminate the special servicer.

122 

Other Potential Conflicts of Interest May Affect Your Investment

The managers of the mortgaged properties and the borrowers may experience conflicts in the management and/or ownership of the mortgaged properties because:

● a substantial number of the mortgaged properties are managed by property managers affiliated with the respective borrowers;

● these property managers also may manage and/or franchise additional properties, including properties that may compete with the mortgaged properties; and

● affiliates of the managers and/or the borrowers, or the managers and/or the borrowers themselves, also may own other properties, including competing properties.

None of the borrowers, property managers or any of their affiliates or any employees of the foregoing has any duty to favor the leasing of space in the mortgaged properties over the leasing of space in other properties, one or more of which may be adjacent to or near the mortgaged properties.

Each of the foregoing relationships should be considered carefully by you before you invest in any certificates.

Other Risks Relating to the Certificates

The Certificates Are Limited Obligations

The certificates, when issued, will only represent ownership interests in the issuing entity. The certificates will not represent an interest in or obligation of, and will not be guaranteed by, the sponsors, the depositor, or any other person. The primary assets of the issuing entity will be the mortgage loans, and distributions on any class of certificates will depend solely on the amount and timing of payments and other collections in respect of the mortgage loans. We cannot assure you that the cash flow from the mortgaged properties and the proceeds of any sale or refinancing of the mortgaged properties will be sufficient to pay the principal of, and interest on, the mortgage loans or to distribute in full the amounts of interest and principal to which the certificateholders will be entitled. See “Description of the Certificates—General”.

The Certificates May Have Limited Liquidity and the Market Value of the Certificates May Decline

Your certificates will not be listed on any national securities exchange or traded on any automated quotation systems of any registered securities association, and there is currently no secondary market for your certificates. The underwriters have no obligation to make a market in the offered certificates. We cannot assure you that an active secondary market for the certificates will develop. Additionally, one or more investors may purchase substantial portions of one or more classes of certificates. Accordingly, you may not have an active or liquid secondary market for your certificates.

The market value of the certificates will also be influenced by the supply of and demand for CMBS generally. A number of factors will affect investors’ demand for CMBS, including:

● the availability of alternative investments that offer higher yields or are perceived as being a better credit risk than CMBS, or as having a less volatile market value or being more liquid than CMBS;

123 

● legal and other restrictions that prohibit a particular entity from investing in CMBS or limit the amount or types of CMBS that it may acquire or require it to maintain increased capital or reserves as a result of its investment in CMBS;

● increased regulatory compliance burdens imposed on CMBS or securitizations generally, or on classes of securitizers, that may make securitization a less attractive financing option for commercial mortgage loans; and

● investors’ perceptions of commercial real estate lending or CMBS, which may be adversely affected by, among other things, a decline in real estate values or an increase in defaults and foreclosures on commercial mortgage loans.

We cannot assure you that your certificates will not decline in value.

Legal and Regulatory Provisions Affecting Investors Could Adversely Affect the Liquidity of the Offered Certificates

We make no representation as to the proper characterization of the offered certificates for legal investment, financial institution regulatory, financial reporting or other purposes, as to the ability of particular investors to purchase the offered certificates under applicable legal investment or other restrictions or as to the consequences of an investment in the offered certificates for such purposes or under such restrictions. Changes in federal banking and securities laws and other laws and regulations may have an adverse effect on issuers, investors or other participants in the asset-backed securities markets including the CMBS market and may have adverse effects on the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of the certificates. While the general effects of such changes are uncertain, regulatory or legislative provisions applicable to certain investors may have the effect of limiting or restricting their ability to hold or acquire CMBS, which in turn may adversely affect the ability of investors in the offered certificates who are not subject to those provisions to resell their certificates in the secondary market. For example:

● Investors should be aware of the risk retention and due diligence requirements in Europe (the “EU Risk Retention and Due Diligence Requirements”) which apply in respect of various types of EU regulated investors including credit institutions and investment firms and their consolidated affiliates, authorized alternative investment fund managers and insurance and reinsurance undertakings (each, an “Affected Investor”). Among other things, such requirements restrict an Affected Investor from investing in securitizations unless: (i) the originator, sponsor or original lender in respect of the relevant securitization has explicitly disclosed that it will retain, on an on-going basis, a net economic interest of not less than five percent in respect of certain specified credit risk tranches or securitized exposures; and (ii) such investor is able to demonstrate that they have undertaken certain due diligence in respect of various matters including but not limited to its note position, the underlying assets and (in the case of certain types of investors) the relevant sponsor or originator. Failure by an Affected Investor to comply with any applicable EU Risk Retention and Due Diligence Requirements with respect to an investment in the offered certificates may result in the imposition of a penalty regulatory capital charge on that investment or of other regulatory sanctions.

None of the sponsors, the depositor or any other party to the transaction is obligated or intends to retain a material net economic interest in the securitization constituted by the issue of the offered certificates in accordance

124 

with the EU Risk Retention and Due Diligence Requirements or to take any other action which may be required by Affected Investors for the purposes of their compliance with the EU Risk Retention and Due Diligence Requirements. Consequently, the offered certificates are not a suitable investment for Affected Investors. As a result, the price and liquidity of the offered certificates in the secondary market may be adversely affected. Prospective investors are responsible themselves to analyze their own regulatory position and are encouraged to consult with their own investment and legal advisors regarding application of and compliance with any applicable EU Risk Retention and Due Diligence Requirements or other applicable regulations and the suitability of the offered certificates for investment. None of the sponsors, the issuing entity, the depositor, the underwriters and any other party to the transaction makes any representation to any prospective investor or purchaser of the offered certificates regarding the regulatory treatment of their investment in the offered certificates on the closing date or at any time in the future.

● Barclays Bank PLC, a sponsor, may be subject to the “bail-in” powers of national authorities in EU member states (each a “Resolution Authority”) and such sponsor’s liabilities, including the obligation to repurchase certain defective mortgage loans could, among other things, be reduced, converted or extinguished in full. The EU Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (2014/59/EU), collectively with secondary and implementing EU rules, and national implementing legislation (the “BRRD”) also gives the power to a Resolution Authority to take other resolution actions, which may include transferring the assets of certain relevant institutions to a third party entity.

● Recent changes in federal banking and securities laws, including those resulting from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) enacted in the United States, may have an adverse effect on issuers, investors, and other participants in the asset-backed securities markets. In particular, new capital regulations were issued by the U.S. banking regulators in July 2013; these regulations implement the increased capital requirements established under the Basel Accord and are being phased in over time. These new capital regulations eliminate reliance on credit ratings and otherwise alter, and in most cases increase, the capital requirements imposed on depository institutions and their holding companies, including with respect to ownership of asset-backed securities such as CMBS. Further changes in capital requirements have been announced by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and it is uncertain when such changes will be implemented in the United States. When fully implemented in the United States, these changes may have an adverse effect with respect to investments in asset-backed securities, including CMBS. As a result of these regulations, investments in CMBS such as the certificates by financial institutions subject to bank capital regulations may result in greater capital charges to these financial institutions and these new regulations may otherwise adversely affect the treatment of CMBS for their regulatory capital purposes.

● Regulations were adopted on December 10, 2013 to implement Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act (such statutory provision together with such implementing regulations, the “Volcker Rule”). The Volcker Rule generally prohibits “banking entities” (which is broadly defined to include U.S. banks

125 

and bank holding companies and many non-U.S. banking entities, together with their respective subsidiaries and other affiliates) from (i) engaging in proprietary trading, (ii) acquiring or retaining an ownership interest in or sponsoring a “covered fund” and (iii) entering into certain relationships with such funds. Subject to certain exceptions, banking entities were required to be in conformance with the Volcker Rule by July 21, 2015. Under the Volcker Rule, unless otherwise jointly determined otherwise by specified federal regulators, a “covered fund” does not include an issuer that may rely on an exclusion or exemption from the definition of “investment company” under the Investment Company Act other than the exclusions contained in Section 3(c)(1) and Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.

The issuing entity will be relying on an exclusion or exemption under the Investment Company Act contained in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act or Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions available to the issuing entity. The issuing entity is being structured so as not to constitute a “covered fund” for purposes of the Volcker Rule. The general effects of the Volcker Rule remain uncertain. Any prospective investor in the certificates, including a U.S. or foreign bank or a subsidiary or other affiliate thereof, should consult its own legal advisors regarding such matters and other effects of the Volcker Rule.

● The Financial Accounting Standards Board has adopted changes to the accounting standards for structured products. These changes, or any future changes, may affect the accounting for entities such as the issuing entity, could under certain circumstances require an investor or its owner generally to consolidate the assets of the issuing entity in its financial statements and record third parties’ investments in the issuing entity as liabilities of that investor or owner or could otherwise adversely affect the manner in which the investor or its owner must report an investment in CMBS for financial reporting purposes.

● For purposes of the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act of 1984, as amended, no class of offered certificates will constitute “mortgage related securities”.

● In addition, compliance with legal requirements, such as the credit risk retention regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act, could cause commercial real estate lenders to tighten their lending standards and reduce the availability of debt financing for commercial real estate borrowers. This, in turn, may adversely affect a borrower’s ability to refinance the mortgage loan or sell the related mortgaged property on the related maturity date. We cannot assure you that any borrower will be able to generate sufficient cash from the sale or refinancing of the related mortgaged property to make the balloon payment on the related mortgage loan.

Further changes in federal banking and securities laws and other laws and regulations may have an adverse effect on issuers, investors, or other participants in the asset-backed securities markets (including the CMBS market) and may have adverse effects on the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of the certificates.

Accordingly, all investors whose investment activities are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, regulatory capital requirements, or review by regulatory authorities

126 

should consult with their own legal, accounting and other advisors in determining whether, and to what extent, the offered certificates will constitute legal investments for them or are subject to investment or other restrictions, unfavorable accounting treatment, capital charges or reserve requirements. See “Legal Investment”.

In addition, this transaction is structured to comply with the Credit Risk Retention Rules as and to the extent set forth under “Credit Risk Retention”. We cannot assure you that the retaining sponsor or the retaining party will at all times satisfy such credit risk retention requirements. At this time, it is unclear what effect a failure of the retaining sponsor or the retaining party to be in compliance with the Credit Risk Retention Rules at any time will have on the certificateholders or the market value or liquidity of the certificates.

Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations May Assign Different Ratings to the Certificates; Ratings of the Certificates Reflect Only the Views of the Applicable Rating Agencies as of the Dates Such Ratings Were Issued; Ratings May Affect ERISA Eligibility; Ratings May Be Downgraded

Ratings assigned to the offered certificates by the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations engaged by the depositor:

● are based on, among other things, the economic characteristics of the mortgaged properties and other relevant structural features of the transaction;

● do not represent any assessment of the yield to maturity that a certificateholder may experience;

● reflect only the views of the respective rating agencies as of the date such ratings were issued;

● may be reviewed, revised, suspended, downgraded, qualified or withdrawn entirely by the applicable rating agency as a result of changes in or unavailability of information;

● may have been determined based on criteria that included an analysis of historical mortgage loan data that may not reflect future experience;

● may reflect assumptions by such rating agencies regarding performance of the mortgage loans that are not accurate, as evidenced by the significant amount of downgrades, qualifications and withdrawals of ratings assigned to previously issued CMBS by the hired rating agencies and other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations during the recent credit crisis; and

● do not consider to what extent the offered certificates will be subject to prepayment or that the outstanding principal amount of any class of offered certificates will be prepaid.

The nationally recognized statistical rating organizations that assign ratings to any class of offered certificates will establish the amount of credit support, if any, for such class of offered certificates based on, among other things, an assumed level of defaults, delinquencies and losses with respect to the mortgage loans. Actual losses may, however, exceed the assumed levels. If actual losses on the mortgage loans exceed the assumed levels, you may be required to bear the additional losses.

In addition, the rating of any class of offered certificates below an investment grade rating by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, whether upon initial

127 

issuance of such class of certificates or as a result of a ratings downgrade, could adversely affect the ability of an employee benefit plan or other investor to purchase or retain those offered certificates. See “Certain ERISA Considerations” and “Legal Investment”.

Nationally recognized statistical rating organizations that were not engaged by the depositor to rate the offered certificates may nevertheless issue unsolicited credit ratings on one or more classes of offered certificates, relying on information they receive pursuant to Rule 17g-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise. If any such unsolicited ratings are issued, we cannot assure you that they will not be different from any ratings assigned by a rating agency engaged by the depositor. The issuance of unsolicited ratings by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization on a class of the offered certificates that are lower than ratings assigned by a rating agency engaged by the depositor may adversely impact the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of that class.

As part of the process of obtaining ratings for the offered certificates, the depositor had initial discussions with and submitted certain materials to six nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Based on preliminary feedback from those nationally recognized statistical rating organizations at that time, the depositor selected three of those nationally recognized statistical rating organizations to rate certain classes of the certificates and not the other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, due in part to their initial subordination levels for the various classes of the certificates. If the depositor had selected the other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations to rate the certificates, we cannot assure you that the ratings such other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations would have assigned to the certificates would not have been lower than the ratings assigned by the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations engaged by the depositor. Further, in the case of one nationally recognized statistical rating organization engaged by the depositor, the depositor only requested ratings for certain classes of offered certificates, due in part to the final subordination levels provided by that nationally recognized statistical rating organization for the classes of certificates. If the depositor had selected that nationally recognized statistical rating organization to rate those classes of offered certificates not rated by it, its ratings of those other certificates may have been different, and potentially lower, than those ratings ultimately assigned to those certificates by the other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations hired by the depositor. In addition, the decision not to engage one or more other rating agencies in the rating of certain classes of certificates to be issued in connection with this transaction may negatively impact the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of those classes of certificates. Although unsolicited ratings may be issued by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, a nationally recognized statistical rating organization might be more likely to issue an unsolicited rating if it was not selected after having provided preliminary feedback to the depositor. Neither the depositor nor any other person or entity will have any duty to notify you if any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization issues, or delivers notice of its intention to issue, consolidated ratings on one or more classes of certificates after the date of this prospectus.

Furthermore, the Securities and Exchange Commission may determine that any or all of the rating agencies engaged by the depositor to rate the certificates no longer qualifies as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or is no longer qualified to rate the certificates or may no longer rate similar securities for a limited period as a result of an enforcement action, and that determination may also have an adverse effect on the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of the offered certificates. To the extent that the provisions of any mortgage loan or the pooling and servicing agreement condition any action, event or circumstance on the delivery of a rating agency confirmation,

128 

the pooling and servicing agreement will require delivery or deemed delivery of a rating agency confirmation only from the rating agencies engaged by the depositor to rate the certificates or, in the case of a serviced whole loan, any related companion loan securities.

We are not obligated to maintain any particular rating with respect to the certificates, and the ratings initially assigned to the certificates by any or all of the rating agencies engaged by the depositor to rate the certificates could change adversely as a result of changes affecting, among other things, the mortgage loans, the mortgaged properties, the parties to the pooling and servicing agreement, or as a result of changes to ratings criteria employed by any or all of the rating agencies engaged by the depositor to rate the certificates. Although these changes would not necessarily be or result from an event of default on any mortgage loan, any adverse change to the ratings of the offered certificates would likely have an adverse effect on the market value, liquidity and/or regulatory characteristics of those certificates.

Further, certain actions provided for in loan agreements may require a rating agency confirmation be obtained from the rating agencies engaged by the depositor to rate the certificates and, in the case of a serviced whole loan, any companion loan securities as a precondition to taking such action. In certain circumstances, this condition may be deemed to have been met or waived without such a rating agency confirmation being obtained. In the event such an action is taken without a rating agency confirmation being obtained, we cannot assure you that the applicable rating agency will not downgrade, qualify or withdraw its ratings as a result of the taking of such action. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—‘Due-On-Sale’ and ‘Due-On-Encumbrance’ Provisions”, “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Rating Agency Confirmations” and “Ratings” for additional considerations regarding the ratings, including a description of the process of obtaining confirmations of ratings for the offered certificates.

Your Yield May Be Affected by Defaults, Prepayments and Other Factors

General

The yield to maturity on each class of offered certificates will depend in part on the following:

● the purchase price for the certificates;

● the rate and timing of principal payments on the mortgage loans (both voluntary and involuntary), and the allocation of principal prepayments to the respective classes of offered certificates with certificate balances; and

● the allocation of shortfalls and losses on the mortgage loans to the respective classes of offered certificates.

For this purpose, principal payments include voluntary and involuntary prepayments, such as prepayments resulting from the application of loan reserves, property releases, casualty or condemnation, defaults and liquidations as well as principal payments resulting from repurchases due to material breaches of representations and warranties or material document defects or purchases by a companion loan holder or mezzanine lender (if any) pursuant to a purchase option or sales of defaulted mortgage loans.

Any changes in the weighted average lives of your certificates may adversely affect your yield. In general, if you buy a certificate at a premium, and principal distributions occur faster than expected, your actual yield to maturity will be lower than expected. If principal distributions are very high, holders of certificates purchased at a premium might not fully

129 

recover their initial investment. Conversely, if you buy a certificate at a discount and principal distributions occur more slowly than expected, your actual yield to maturity will be lower than expected.

Prepayments resulting in a shortening of weighted average lives of your certificates may be made at a time of low interest rates when you may be unable to reinvest the resulting payment of principal on your certificates at a rate comparable to the effective yield anticipated by you in making your investment in the certificates, while delays and extensions resulting in a lengthening of those weighted average lives may occur at a time of high interest rates when you may have been able to reinvest principal payments that would otherwise have been received by you at higher rates.

In addition, the extent to which prepayments on the mortgage loans in the issuing entity ultimately affect the weighted average life of the certificates will depend on the terms of the certificates, more particularly:

● a class of certificates that entitles the holders of those certificates to a disproportionately larger share of the prepayments on the mortgage loans increases the “call risk” or the likelihood of early retirement of that class if the rate of prepayment is relatively fast; and

● a class of certificates that entitles the holders of the certificates to a disproportionately smaller share of the prepayments on the mortgage loans increases the likelihood of “extension risk” or an extended average life of that class if the rate of prepayment is relatively slow.

The Timing of Prepayments and Repurchases May Change Your Anticipated Yield

The rate at which voluntary prepayments occur on the mortgage loans will be affected by a variety of factors, including:

● the terms of the mortgage loans, including, the length of any prepayment lockout period and the applicable yield maintenance charges and prepayment premiums and the extent to which the related mortgage loan terms may be practically enforced;

● the level of prevailing interest rates;

● the availability of credit for commercial real estate;

● the master servicer’s or special servicer’s ability to enforce yield maintenance charges and prepayment premiums;

● the failure to meet certain requirements for the release of escrows;

● the occurrence of casualties or natural disasters; and

● economic, demographic, tax, legal or other factors.

Although a yield maintenance charge or other prepayment premium provision of a mortgage loan is intended to create an economic disincentive for a borrower to prepay voluntarily a mortgage loan, we cannot assure you that mortgage loans that have such provisions will not prepay.

The extent to which the special servicer forecloses upon, takes title to and disposes of any mortgaged property related to a mortgage loan or sells defaulted mortgage loans will affect the weighted average lives of your certificates. If the special servicer forecloses upon

130 

a significant number of the related mortgage loans, and depending upon the amount and timing of recoveries from the related mortgaged properties or sells defaulted mortgage loans, your certificates may have a shorter weighted average life.

Delays in liquidations of defaulted mortgage loans and modifications extending the maturity of mortgage loans will tend to delay the payment of principal on the mortgage loans. The ability of the related borrower to make any required balloon payment at maturity or to repay any ARD loan at the related anticipated repayment date typically will depend upon its ability either to refinance the mortgage loan or to sell the related mortgaged property. A significant number of the mortgage loans require balloon payments at maturity and there is a risk that a number of those mortgage loans may default at maturity or that the special servicer may extend the maturity of a number of those mortgage loans in connection with workouts. We cannot assure you as to the borrowers’ abilities to make mortgage loan payments on a full and timely basis, including any balloon payments at maturity or on the related anticipated repayment date. Bankruptcy of the borrower or adverse conditions in the market where the mortgaged property is located may, among other things, delay the recovery of proceeds in the case of defaults. Losses on the mortgage loans due to uninsured risks or insufficient hazard insurance proceeds may create shortfalls in distributions to certificateholders. Any required indemnification of a party to the pooling and servicing agreement in connection with legal actions relating to the issuing entity, the related agreements or the certificates may also result in shortfalls.

See “—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Relating to Enforceability of Yield Maintenance Charges, Prepayment Premiums or Defeasance Provisions” above and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Prepayment Protections and Certain Involuntary Prepayments and Voluntary Prepayments” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Redevelopment, Renovation and Expansion”.

In addition, if a sponsor repurchases a mortgage loan from the issuing entity due to a material breach of one or more of its representations or warranties or a material document defect, the repurchase price paid will be passed through to the holders of the certificates with the same effect as if the mortgage loan had been prepaid in part or in full, and no yield maintenance charge or other prepayment premium would be payable. Additionally, any mezzanine lender (if any) may have the option to purchase the related mortgage loan after certain defaults, and the purchase price may not include any yield maintenance charges or prepayment premiums. As a result of such a repurchase or purchase, investors in the Class X-A and Class X-B certificates and any other certificates purchased at a premium might not fully recoup their initial investment. A repurchase, a prepayment or the exercise of a purchase option may adversely affect the yield to maturity on your certificates. In this respect, see “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Realization Upon Mortgage Loans”.

The certificates with notional amounts will not be entitled to distributions of principal but instead will accrue interest on their respective notional amounts. Because the notional amount of the certificates indicated in the table below is based upon the outstanding certificate balances of the related class of certificates, the yield to maturity on the indicated certificates will be extremely sensitive to the rate and timing of prepayments of principal, liquidations and principal losses on the mortgage loans to the extent allocated to the related certificates.

131 

Interest-Only Class of Certificates	Underlying Classes
Class X-A	Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates
Class X-B	Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates

A rapid rate of principal prepayments, liquidations and/or principal losses on the mortgage loans could result in the failure to recoup the initial investment in the Class X-A and/or Class X-B certificates. Investors in the Class X-A or Class X-B certificates should fully consider the associated risks, including the risk that an extremely rapid rate of amortization, prepayment or other liquidation of the mortgage loans could result in the failure of such investors to recoup fully their initial investments. The yield to maturity of the certificates with notional amounts may be adversely affected by the prepayment of mortgage loans with higher net mortgage loan rates. See “Yield and Maturity Considerations—Yield on the Certificates with Notional Amounts”.

In addition, with respect to the Class A-SB certificates, the extent to which the planned balances are achieved and the sensitivity of the Class A-SB certificates to principal prepayments on the mortgage loans will depend in part on the period of time during which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates remain outstanding. As such, the Class A-SB certificates will become more sensitive to the rate of prepayments on the mortgage loans than they were when the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates were outstanding.

Your Yield May Be Adversely Affected By Prepayments Resulting From Earnout Reserves

With respect to certain mortgage loans, earnout escrows may have been established at origination, which funds may be released to the related borrower upon satisfaction of certain conditions. If such conditions with respect to any such mortgage loan are not satisfied, the amounts reserved in such escrows may be, or may be required to be, applied to the payment of the mortgage loan, which would have the same effect on the offered certificates as a prepayment of the mortgage loan, except that such application of funds would not be accompanied by any prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge. See Annex A-1. The pooling and servicing agreement will provide that unless required by the mortgage loan documents, the master servicer will not apply such amounts as a prepayment if no event of default has occurred.

Losses and Shortfalls May Change Your Anticipated Yield

If losses on the mortgage loans exceed the aggregate certificate balance of the classes of certificates subordinated to a particular class, that class will suffer a loss equal to the full amount of the excess (up to the outstanding certificate balance of that class). Even if losses on the mortgage loans are not borne by your certificates, those losses may affect the weighted average life and yield to maturity of your certificates.

For example, certain shortfalls in interest as a result of involuntary prepayments may reduce the funds available to make payments on your certificates. In addition, if the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee reimburses itself (or the master servicer, special servicer, trustee or other party to a trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced whole loan) out of general collections on the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity for any advance that it (or any such other party) has determined is not recoverable out of collections on the related mortgage loan, then to the extent that this reimbursement is made from collections of principal on the

132 

mortgage loans in the issuing entity, that reimbursement will reduce the amount of principal ultimately available to be distributed on the certificates and will result in a reduction of the certificate balance (or notional amount) of one or more classes of certificates as described in this prospectus. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions”. Likewise, if the master servicer or the trustee reimburses itself out of principal collections on the mortgage loans for any workout-delayed reimbursement amounts, that reimbursement will reduce the amount of principal available to be distributed on the certificates on that distribution date. This reimbursement would have the effect of reducing current payments of principal on the offered certificates (other than the certificates with notional amounts and the Class R certificates) and extending the weighted average lives of the offered certificates with certificate balances. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions”.

In addition, to the extent losses are realized on the mortgage loans, first the Class H-RR certificates, then the Class G-RR certificates, then the Class F-RR certificates, then the Class E-RR certificates, then the Class D certificates, then the Class C certificates, then the Class B certificates, then the Class A-S certificates and, then, pro rata, the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates, based on their respective certificate balances, will bear such losses up to an amount equal to the respective outstanding certificate balance of that class. A reduction in the certificate balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 or Class A-5 certificates will result in a corresponding reduction in the notional amount of the Class X-A certificates and a reduction of the certificate balance of the Class A-S, Class B or Class C certificates will result in a corresponding reduction of the notional amount of the Class X-B certificates. We make no representation as to the anticipated rate or timing of prepayments (voluntary or involuntary) or rate, timing or amount of liquidations or losses on the mortgage loans or as to the anticipated yield to maturity of any such offered certificate. See “Yield and Maturity Considerations”.

Risk of Early Termination

The issuing entity is subject to optional termination under certain circumstances. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Termination; Retirement of Certificates”. In the event of this termination, you might receive some principal payments earlier than otherwise expected, which could adversely affect your anticipated yield to maturity.

Subordination of the Subordinated Certificates Will Affect the Timing of Distributions and the Application of Losses on the Subordinated Certificates

As described in this prospectus, the rights of the holders of Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates to receive payments of principal and interest otherwise payable on the certificates they hold will be subordinated to such rights of the holders of the more senior certificates having an earlier alphabetical or alphanumeric class designation. If you acquire any Class A-S, Class B or Class C certificates, then your rights to receive distributions of amounts collected or advanced on or in respect of the mortgage loans will generally be subordinated to those of the holders of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D certificates and, if your certificates are Class B or Class C certificates, to those of the holders of the Class A-S certificates and, if your certificates are Class C certificates, to those of the holders of the Class B certificates. See “Description of the Certificates”. As a result, investors in those classes of certificates that are subordinated in whole or part to other classes of certificates will generally bear the effects of losses on the mortgage loans and unreimbursed expenses of the issuing entity before the holders of those other classes of certificates. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions” and “—Subordination; Allocation of Realized Losses”.

Your Lack of Control Over the Issuing Entity and the Mortgage Loans Can Impact Your Investment

You Have Limited Voting Rights

Except as described in this prospectus, you and other certificateholders generally do not have a right to vote and do not have the right to make decisions with respect to the administration of the issuing entity and the mortgage loans. With respect to mortgage loans (other than the mortgage loans that will be serviced under a separate trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement), those decisions are generally made, subject to the express terms of the pooling and servicing agreement for this transaction, by the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee or the certificate administrator, as applicable, subject to any rights of the directing certificateholder under the pooling and servicing agreement for this transaction and the rights of the holders of any related companion loan and mezzanine debt under the related intercreditor agreement. With respect to a non-serviced mortgage loan, you will generally not have any right to vote or make decisions, and those decisions will generally be made by the master servicer or the special servicer under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of such non-serviced mortgage loan and the related companion loan, subject to the rights of the directing certificateholder appointed under such trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement or a controlling noteholder under the related intercreditor agreement. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”. In particular, with respect to the risks relating to a modification of a mortgage loan, see “—Risks Relating to Modifications of the Mortgage Loans” below.

In certain limited circumstances where certificateholders have the right to vote on matters affecting the issuing entity, in some cases, these votes are by certificateholders taken as a whole and in others the vote is by class. Your interests as an owner of certificates of a particular class may not be aligned with the interests of owners of one or more other classes of certificates in connection with any such vote. In addition, in all cases voting is based on the outstanding certificate balance, which is reduced by realized losses. In certain cases with respect to the termination of the special servicer and the operating advisor, certain voting rights will also be reduced by cumulative appraisal reduction amounts, as described below. These limitations on voting could adversely affect your ability to protect your interests with respect to matters voted on by certificateholders. See “Description of the Certificates—Voting Rights”. You will have no rights to vote on any servicing matters related to the mortgage loan that will be serviced under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced whole loan.

In general, a certificate beneficially owned by any borrower affiliate, any property manager, the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the depositor, any mortgage loan seller or respective affiliates or agents will be deemed not to be outstanding and a holder of such certificate will not have the right to vote, subject to certain exceptions, as further described in the definition of “Certificateholder” under “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information—Certificate Administrator Reports”.

The Class V and Class R certificates will not have any voting rights.

134 

The Rights of the Directing Certificateholder and the Operating Advisor Could Adversely Affect Your Investment

The directing certificateholder will have certain consent and consultation rights with respect to certain matters relating to the mortgage loans (other than any excluded loan and, with respect to any non-serviced mortgage loan, will have limited consultation rights) and the right to replace the special servicer (other than with respect to a non-serviced mortgage loan) with or without cause, except that if a control termination event (i.e., an event in which the certificate balance of the most senior class of certificates that is eligible to be a controlling class, as reduced by the application of cumulative appraisal reduction amounts and realized losses, is less than 25% of its initial certificate balance) occurs and is continuing, the directing certificateholder will lose the consent rights and the right to replace the special servicer, but will retain consultation rights, and if a consultation termination event (i.e., an event in which the certificate balance of the most senior class of certificates that is eligible to be a controlling class (as reduced by the application of realized losses) is less than 25% of its initial certificate balance) occurs and is continuing, then the directing certificateholder will no longer have any consultation rights with respect to any mortgage loans. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder”.

These actions and decisions with respect to which the directing certificateholder has consent or consultation rights include, among others, certain modifications to the mortgage loans or any serviced whole loan, including modifications of monetary terms, foreclosure or comparable conversion of the related mortgaged properties, and certain sales of mortgage loans or REO properties for less than the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest, fees and expenses. As a result of the exercise of these rights by the directing certificateholder, the special servicer may take actions with respect to a mortgage loan that could adversely affect the interests of investors in one or more classes of offered certificates.

Similarly, with respect to the non-serviced mortgage loans, the special servicer under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan may, at the direction or upon the advice of the directing certificateholder (or the equivalent), of the related securitization trust (or any other party) holding the controlling note for a non-serviced whole loan, take actions with respect to such non-serviced mortgage loan and related companion loan that could adversely affect such non-serviced mortgage loan, and therefore, the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates. The issuing entity (as the holder of a non-controlling note) will have limited consultation rights with respect to major decisions and the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an asset status report relating to a non-serviced whole loan and in connection with a sale of a defaulted loan, and such rights will be exercised by the directing certificateholder for this transaction so long as no consultation termination event has occurred and is continuing and by the special servicer if a consultation termination event has occurred and is continuing. Additionally, with respect to each non-serviced whole loan, in circumstances similar to those described above, the directing certificateholder (or the equivalent) of the related securitization trust will have the right to replace the special servicer of such securitization with or without cause, and without the consent of the issuing entity. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

Although the special servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement and the special servicer for a non-serviced mortgage loan are not permitted to take actions which are prohibited by law or violate the servicing standard under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement or trust and servicing agreement or the terms of the related mortgage loan documents, it is possible that the directing certificateholder (or the equivalent) under

135 

such pooling and servicing agreement or trust and servicing agreement may direct or advise, as applicable, the related special servicer to take actions with respect to such mortgage loan that conflict with the interests of the holders of certain classes of the certificates.

You will be acknowledging and agreeing, by your purchase of offered certificates, that the directing certificateholder and the directing certificateholder (or the equivalent) under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable, governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan:

(i)       may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of holders of one or more classes of certificates;

(ii)      may act solely in the interests of the holders of the controlling class (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, the controlling class of the securitization trust formed under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan);

(iii)     does not have any duties to the holders of any class of certificates other than the controlling class (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, the controlling class of the securitization trust formed under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan);

(iv)     may take actions that favor the interests of the holders of the controlling class (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, the controlling class of the securitization trust formed under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan or the related controlling companion noteholder) over the interests of the holders of one or more other classes of certificates; and

(v)      will have no liability whatsoever (other than to a controlling class certificateholder) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i) – (iv) above, and that no certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the directing certificateholder or the directing certificateholder (or the equivalent) under the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, members, partners, agents or principals for having so acted.

In addition, if the certificate balances of the classes of horizontal risk retention certificates in the aggregate (taking into account the application of any cumulative appraisal reduction amounts to notionally reduce the certificate balances of such classes) is 25% or less of the initial certificate balances of such classes in the aggregate (such event being referred to in this prospectus as an “operating advisor consultation event”), then so long as an operating advisor consultation event has occurred and is continuing, the operating advisor will have certain consultation rights with respect to certain matters relating to the mortgage loans (other than any non-serviced mortgage loan). Further, the operating advisor will have the right to recommend a replacement of the special servicer at any time, as described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor” and “—Replacement of the Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and Certificateholder Vote”. The operating advisor is generally required to act on behalf of the issuing entity and in the best interest of, and for the benefit of, the certificateholders and, with respect to any serviced whole loan, for the benefit of any holder of a related companion

136 

loan (as a collective whole as if the certificateholders and the companion loan holder constituted a single lender). We cannot assure you that any actions taken by the special servicer or the master servicer as a result of a recommendation or consultation by the operating advisor will not adversely affect the interests of investors in one or more classes of certificates. With respect to any non-serviced mortgage loan, any operating advisor appointed under the related trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of such non-serviced mortgage loan may have rights and duties under such trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement that vary in certain respects from those under the pooling and servicing agreement relating to this transaction, including, for example, variations in the duties of the operating advisor that may result if the related securitization is not satisfying its risk retention requirements through retention by a "third-party purchaser". See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans—General”. Further, the operating advisor will generally have no obligations or consultation rights under the pooling and servicing agreement for this transaction with respect to any non-serviced mortgage loan or any related REO Property. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

You Have Limited Rights to Replace the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer

In general, the directing certificateholder will have the right to terminate and replace the special servicer with or without cause so long as no control termination event has occurred and is continuing and other than in respect of any excluded loan as described in this prospectus. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a control termination event under the pooling and servicing agreement, the special servicer may also be removed in certain circumstances (x) if a request is made by certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of the voting rights (taking into account the application of appraisal reductions to notionally reduce the respective certificate balances) and (y) upon receipt of approval by certificateholders holding at least 66-2/3% of a quorum of the certificateholders (which quorum consists of the holders of certificates evidencing at least 50% of the aggregate voting rights (taking into account the application of realized losses and the application of appraisal reductions to notionally reduce the respective certificate balances). See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Replacement of the Special Servicer Without Cause”.

In addition, if at any time the operating advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the special servicer is not performing its duties as required under the pooling and servicing agreement or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the servicing standard, and (2) the replacement of the special servicer would be in the best interest of the certificateholders as a collective whole, then the operating advisor will have the right to recommend the replacement of the special servicer and deliver a report supporting such recommendation in the manner described in “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Replacement of the Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and Certificateholder Vote”. The operating advisor’s recommendation to replace the special servicer must be confirmed by an affirmative vote of holders of voting rights of principal balance certificates evidencing at least a majority of a quorum (which, for this purpose, is holders that (i) evidence at least 20% of the voting rights (taking into account the application of appraisal reduction amounts to notionally reduce the respective certificate balances) of all principal balance certificates on an aggregate basis, and (ii) consist of at least three certificateholders, certificate owners that are not “risk retention affiliated” with each other).

137 

The certificateholders will generally have no right to replace and terminate any of the master servicer, the trustee or the certificate administrator without cause. The vote of the requisite percentage of certificateholders may terminate the operating advisor or the asset representations reviewer without cause. The vote of the requisite percentage of the certificateholders will be required to replace the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer even for cause, and certain termination events may be waived by the vote of the requisite percentage of the certificateholders. With respect to each non-serviced whole loan, in circumstances similar to those described above, the directing certificateholder (or the equivalent) and the certificateholders of the securitization trust related to such other trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement will have the right to replace the special servicer of such securitization with or without cause, and without the consent of the issuing entity. The certificateholders generally will have no right to replace the master servicer or the special servicer of a trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement relating to any non-serviced mortgage loan, though under certain circumstances the certificateholders may have a limited right to replace the master servicer or special servicer for cause solely with respect to such non-serviced whole loan under such trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement, as applicable. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loan” in this prospectus. We cannot assure that your lack of control over the replacement of these parties will not have an adverse impact on your investment.

The Rights of Companion Holders and Mezzanine Debt May Adversely Affect Your Investment

The holders of a serviced pari passu companion loan relating to a serviced pari passu mortgage loan, will have certain consultation rights (on a non-binding basis) with respect to major decisions and implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an asset status report relating to the related whole loan under the related intercreditor agreement. Such companion loan holder and its representative may have interests in conflict with those of the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates, and may advise the special servicer to take actions that conflict with the interests of the holders of certain classes of the certificates. Although any such consultation is non-binding and the special servicer may not be required to consult with such a companion loan holder unless required to do so under the servicing standard, we cannot assure you that the exercise of the rights of such companion loan holder will not delay any action to be taken by the special servicer and will not adversely affect your investment.

With respect to mortgage loans that have mezzanine debt, the related mezzanine lender will have the right under certain limited circumstances to (i) cure certain defaults with respect to, and under certain default scenarios, purchase (without payment of any yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium) the related mortgage loan and (ii) so long as no event of default with respect to the related mortgage loan continues after the mezzanine lender’s cure right has expired, approve certain modifications and consent to certain actions to be taken with respect to the related mortgage loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics” and “—Additional Indebtedness”.

The purchase option that the holder of mezzanine debt holds pursuant to the related intercreditor agreement generally permits such holder to purchase its related defaulted mortgage loan for a purchase price generally equal to the outstanding principal balance of the related defaulted mortgage loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest (exclusive of default interest) on, and unpaid servicing expenses, protective advances and interest on advances related to, such defaulted mortgage loan. However, in the event such holder is

138 

not obligated to pay some or all of those fees and additional expenses, including any liquidation fee payable to the special servicer under the terms of the pooling and servicing agreement, then the exercise of such holder’s rights under the intercreditor agreement to purchase the related mortgage loan from the issuing entity may result in a loss to the issuing entity in the amount of those fees and additional expenses. In addition, such holder’s right to cure defaults under the related defaulted mortgage loan could delay the issuing entity’s ability to realize on or otherwise take action with respect to such defaulted mortgage loan.

In addition, with respect to a non-serviced mortgage loan, you will generally not have any right to vote or consent with respect to any matters relating to the servicing and administration of such non-serviced mortgage loan, however, the directing certificateholder (or equivalent) of the related securitization trust holding the controlling note for the related non-serviced whole loan (or the holder of the related controlling companion loan in the case of the Fair Oaks Mall mortgage loan), will have the right to vote or consent with respect to certain specified matters relating to the servicing and administration of such non-serviced mortgage loan. The interests of the securitization trust holding the controlling note (or the holder of the related controlling companion loan in the case of the Fair Oaks Mall mortgage loan) may conflict with those of the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates, and accordingly the directing certificateholder (or the equivalent) of such securitization trust (or the holder of the related controlling companion loan in the case of the Fair Oaks Mall mortgage loan) may direct or advise the special servicer for the related securitization trust to take actions that conflict with the interests of the holders of certain classes of the certificates. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loan” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

You will be acknowledging and agreeing, by your purchase of offered certificates, that any companion loan holder:

● may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of holders of one or more classes of certificates;

● may act solely in its own interests, without regard to your interests;

● do not have any duties to any other person, including the holders of any class of certificates;

● may take actions that favor its interests over the interests of the holders of one or more classes of certificates; and

● will have no liability whatsoever for having so acted and that no certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the companion loan holder or its representative or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of the companion loan holder or its representative for having so acted.

Risks Relating to Modifications of the Mortgage Loans

As delinquencies or defaults occur, the related special servicer will be required to utilize an increasing amount of resources to work with borrowers to maximize collections on the mortgage loans serviced by it. This may include modifying the terms of such mortgage loans that are in default or whose default is reasonably foreseeable. At each step in the process of trying to bring a defaulted mortgage loan current or in maximizing proceeds to the issuing entity, the special servicer will be required to invest time and resources not

139 

otherwise required when collecting payments on performing mortgage loans. Modifications of mortgage loans implemented by the special servicer in order to maximize ultimate proceeds of such mortgage loans to the issuing entity may have the effect of, among other things, reducing or otherwise changing the mortgage rate, forgiving or forbearing payments of principal, interest or other amounts owed under the mortgage loan, extending the final maturity date of the mortgage loan, capitalizing or deferring delinquent interest and other amounts owed under the mortgage loan, forbearing payment of a portion of the principal balance of the mortgage loan or any combination of these or other modifications.

Any modified mortgage loan may remain in the issuing entity, and the modification may result in a reduction in (or may eliminate) the funds received in respect of such mortgage loan. In particular, any modification to reduce or forgive the amount of interest payable on the mortgage loan will reduce the amount of cash flow available to make distributions of interest on the certificates, which will likely impact the most subordinated classes of certificates that suffer the shortfall. To the extent the modification defers principal payments on the mortgage loan (including as a result of an extension of its stated maturity date), certificates entitled to principal distributions will likely be repaid more slowly than anticipated, and if principal payments on the mortgage loan are forgiven, the reduction will cause a write-down of the certificate balances of the certificates in reverse order of seniority. See “Description of the Certificates—Subordination; Allocation of Realized Losses”.

The ability to modify mortgage loans by the special servicer may be limited by several factors. First, if the special servicer has to consider a large number of modifications, operational constraints may affect the ability of the special servicer to adequately address all of the needs of the borrowers. Furthermore, the terms of the related servicing agreement may prohibit the special servicer from taking certain actions in connection with a loan modification, such as an extension of the loan term beyond a specified date such as a specified number of years prior to the rated final distribution date. You should consider the importance of the role of the special servicer in maximizing collections for the transaction and the impediments the special servicer may encounter when servicing delinquent or defaulted mortgage loans. In some cases, failure by the special servicer to timely modify the terms of a defaulted mortgage loan may reduce amounts available for distribution on the certificates in respect of such mortgage loan, and consequently may reduce amounts available for distribution to the related certificates. In addition, even if a loan modification is successfully completed, we cannot assure you that the related borrower will continue to perform under the terms of the modified mortgage loan.

Modifications that are designed to maximize collections in the aggregate may adversely affect a particular class of certificates. The pooling and servicing agreement obligates the special servicer not to consider the interests of individual classes of certificates. You should note that in connection with considering a modification or other type of loss mitigation, the special servicer may incur or bear related out-of-pocket expenses, such as appraisal fees, which would be reimbursed to the special servicer from the transaction as servicing advances and paid from amounts received on the modified loan or from other mortgage loans in the mortgage pool but in each case, prior to distributions being made on the certificates.

Sponsors May Not Make Required Repurchases or Substitutions of Defective Mortgage Loans or Pay Any Loss of Value Payment Sufficient to Cover All Losses on a Defective Mortgage Loan

Each sponsor is the sole warranting party in respect of the mortgage loans sold by such sponsor to us. Neither we nor any of our affiliates (except Wells Fargo Bank, National

140 

Association in its capacity as a sponsor, with respect to the mortgage loans it will contribute to this securitization) is obligated to repurchase or substitute any mortgage loan or make any payment to compensate the issuing entity in connection with a breach of any representation or warranty of a sponsor or any document defect, if the sponsor defaults on its obligation to do so. However, Benefit Street Partners Realty Trust, Inc. will guarantee the performance of BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC’s obligations, to repurchase or replace defective mortgage loans. We cannot assure you that the sponsors, notwithstanding the existence of any payment guarantee, will effect such repurchases or substitutions or make such payment to compensate the issuing entity. Although a loss of value payment may only be made by the related mortgage loan seller to the extent that the special servicer deems such amount to be sufficient to compensate the issuing entity for such material defect or material breach, we cannot assure you that such loss of value payment will fully compensate the issuing entity for such material defect or material breach in all respects. In particular, in the case of a non-serviced whole loan that is serviced under the related non-serviced trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement entered into in connection with the securitization of the related pari passu companion loan, the asset representations reviewer under that pooling and servicing agreement or trust and servicing agreement (if any) may review the diligence file relating to such pari passu companion loan concurrently with the review of the asset representations reviewer of the related mortgage loan for this transaction, and their findings may be inconsistent, and such inconsistency may allow the related mortgage loan seller to challenge the findings of the asset representations reviewer of the affected mortgage loan. In addition, the sponsors (or Benefit Street Partners Realty Trust, Inc., as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC) may have various legal defenses available to them in connection with a repurchase or substitution obligation or an obligation to pay the loss of value payment. See “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC”. Any mortgage loan that is not repurchased or substituted and that is not a “qualified mortgage” for a REMIC may cause designated portions of the issuing entity to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the issuing entity to incur a tax.

Each sponsor has only limited assets with which to fulfill any obligations on its part that may arise as a result of a material document defect or a material breach of any of the sponsor’s representations or warranties. We cannot assure you that a sponsor has or will have sufficient assets with which to fulfill any obligations on its part that may arise, or that any such entity will maintain its existence.

Additionally, one of the sponsors, Barclays Bank PLC, may be subject to the “bail-in” powers of a Resolution Authority and such sponsor’s liabilities, including the obligation to repurchase certain defective mortgage loans could, among other things, be reduced, converted or extinguished in full. The BRRD also gives the power to a Resolution Authority to take other resolution actions, which may include transferring the assets of certain relevant institutions to a third party entity. See “—The Sponsors, the Depositor and the Issuing Entity Are Subject to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Laws That May Affect the Issuing Entity’s Ownership of the Mortgage Loans”.

See “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”.

Risks Relating to Interest on Advances and Special Servicing Compensation

To the extent described in this prospectus, the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee will each be entitled to receive interest on unreimbursed advances made by it at the “Prime Rate” as published in The Wall Street Journal. This interest will generally accrue from the date on which the related advance is made or the related expense is incurred to the date of reimbursement. In addition, under certain circumstances, including

141 

delinquencies in the payment of principal and/or interest, a mortgage loan will be specially serviced and the special servicer will be entitled to compensation for special servicing activities. The right to receive interest on advances or special servicing compensation is senior to the rights of certificateholders to receive distributions on the offered certificates. The payment of interest on advances and the payment of compensation to the special servicer may lead to shortfalls in amounts otherwise distributable on your certificates.

Bankruptcy of a Servicer May Adversely Affect Collections on the Mortgage Loans and the Ability to Replace the Servicer

The master servicer or the special servicer may be eligible to become a debtor under the federal bankruptcy code or enter into receivership under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”). If the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, were to become a debtor under the federal bankruptcy code or enter into receivership under the FDIA, although the pooling and servicing agreement provides that such an event would entitle the issuing entity to terminate the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, the provision would most likely not be enforceable. However, a rejection of the pooling and servicing agreement by the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, in a bankruptcy proceeding or repudiation of the pooling and servicing agreement in a receivership under the FDIA would be treated as a breach of the pooling and servicing agreement and give the issuing entity a claim for damages and the ability to appoint a successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable. An assumption under the federal bankruptcy code would require the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, to cure its pre-bankruptcy defaults, if any, and demonstrate that it is able to perform following assumption. The bankruptcy court may permit the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, to assume the servicing agreement and assign it to a third party. An insolvency by an entity governed by state insolvency law would vary depending on the laws of the particular state. We cannot assure you that a bankruptcy or receivership of the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, would not adversely impact the servicing of the related mortgage loans or the issuing entity would be entitled to terminate the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, in a timely manner or at all.

If the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, becomes the subject of bankruptcy or similar proceedings, the issuing entity claim to collections in that master servicer or special servicer’s, as applicable, possession at the time of the bankruptcy filing or other similar filing may not be perfected. In this event, funds available to pay principal and interest on your certificates may be delayed or reduced.

The Sponsors, the Depositor and the Issuing Entity Are Subject to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Laws That May Affect the Issuing Entity’s Ownership of the Mortgage Loans

In the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of a sponsor or the depositor, it is possible the issuing entity’s right to payment from or ownership of the mortgage loans could be challenged, and if such challenge were successful, delays, reductions in payments and/or losses on the certificates could occur.

The transfer of the mortgage loans by the sponsors in connection with this offering is not expected to qualify for the securitization safe harbor adopted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) for securitizations sponsored by insured depository institutions. However, the safe harbor is non-exclusive.

In the case of each sponsor, an opinion of counsel will be rendered on the closing date, based on certain facts and assumptions and subject to certain qualifications, to the effect

that the transfer of the related mortgage loans by such sponsor to the depositor would generally be respected in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of such sponsor. A legal opinion is not a guaranty as to what any particular court would actually decide, but rather an opinion as to the decision a court would reach if the issues are competently presented and the court followed existing precedent as to legal and equitable principles applicable in bankruptcy cases. In any event, we cannot assure you that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, a bankruptcy trustee or another interested party, as applicable, would not attempt to assert that such transfer was not a sale. Even if a challenge were not successful, it is possible that payments on the certificates would be delayed while a court resolves the claim.

In addition, since the issuing entity is a common law trust, it may not be eligible for relief under the federal bankruptcy laws, unless it can be characterized as a “business trust” for purposes of the federal bankruptcy laws. Bankruptcy courts look at various considerations in making this determination, so it is not possible to predict with any certainty whether or not the issuing entity would be characterized as a “business trust”. Regardless of whether a bankruptcy court ultimately determines that the issuing entity is a “business trust”, it is possible that payments on the offered certificates would be delayed while the court resolved the issue.

Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act provides for an orderly liquidation authority (“OLA”) under which the FDIC can be appointed as receiver of certain systemically important non-bank financial companies and their direct or indirect subsidiaries in certain cases. We make no representation as to whether this would apply to any of the sponsors. In January 2011, the then-acting general counsel of the FDIC issued a letter (the “Acting General Counsel’s Letter”) in which he expressed his view that, under then-existing regulations, the FDIC, as receiver under the OLA, would not, in the exercise of its OLA repudiation powers, recover as property of a financial company assets transferred by the financial company, provided that the transfer satisfies the conditions for the exclusion of assets from the financial company’s estate under the federal bankruptcy code. The letter further noted that, while the FDIC staff may be considering recommending further regulations under OLA, the acting general counsel would recommend that such regulations incorporate a 90-day transition period for any provisions affecting the FDIC’s statutory power to disaffirm or repudiate contracts. If, however, the FDIC were to adopt a different approach than that described in the Acting General Counsel’s Letter, delays or reductions in payments on the offered certificates would occur.

Barclays Bank PLC, a mortgage loan seller, a sponsor and an originator, is subject to the provisions of the Insolvency Act 1986, as amended (United Kingdom Act of Parliament, 1986 ch. 45) (the “Insolvency Act”) and the Banking Act 2009, as amended (United Kingdom Act of Parliament, 2009 ch. 1) (the “Banking Act”). Under the terms of the Insolvency Act, certain transactions by an English-registered company, such as Barclays, may be challenged by an insolvency officer appointed to that company on its insolvency. Under the Banking Act, the Secretary of State, Prudential Regulation Authority, or Bank of England can apply to the court for implementation of an insolvency regime specifically for certain deposit-taking institutions. One aspect of this regime is that an insolvency officer will conduct the relevant insolvency process in such a manner as to promote protection of retail deposits held by such an institution (in combination with the United Kingdom Financial Services Compensation Scheme).

Further, under the Banking Act, specified UK authorities have extended tools to deal with the failure (or likely failure) of certain UK incorporated entities, including authorized and established entities including deposit-taking institutions and investment firms and powers to recognize and give effect to certain resolution actions in respect of the European

143 

Economic Area and third country institutions. The tools available under the Banking Act may be used in respect of relevant institutions and, in certain circumstances, their UK established banking group companies and such tools include (a) the power to issue share transfer instruments and/or orders pursuant to which there may be transferred to a commercial purchaser or a nominee of or a company wholly owned by the UK Treasury, all or some of the securities issued by a UK institution with permission to accept deposits under the FSMA (“UK Bank”) (or any UK holding company of the UK Bank). The share transfers can extend to a wide range of “securities” including shares and bonds issued by the UK Bank (or any UK holding company of the UK Bank) and warrants for such and also deferred shares or private membership rights in a building society and (b) the power to transfer all or some of the property, rights and liabilities of a UK Bank or a building society to a commercial purchaser or Bank of England entity. In certain circumstances encumbrances and trusts can be over-reached or varied. Power also exists to override any default provisions in transactions otherwise affected by these powers. Compensation may be payable in the context of share transfer instruments and/or orders and property transfer instruments. In the case of share transfers any compensation will be paid to the person who held the security immediately before the transfer, who may not be the encumbrancer. The Banking Act also includes provisions relating to two new insolvency procedures which may be commenced by specified UK authorities (bank insolvency and bank administration).

The Banking Act also vests power in the Bank of England (among other things) to override, vary or impose contractual obligations between the UK Bank (or any UK holding company of the UK Bank) and its former group undertakings (as defined in the Banking Act), for reasonable consideration, in order to enable any transferee or successor bank of the UK Bank (or any UK holding company of the UK Bank) to operate effectively. There is also power for the UK Treasury to amend the law (save for a provision made by or under the Act) by order for the purpose of enabling it to use the special resolution regime powers effectively, potentially with retrospective effect.

If an instrument or order were to be made under the Banking Act in respect of Barclays Bank PLC, such instrument or order may (among other things) affect the ability of Barclays Bank PLC to satisfy its obligations under the related mortgage loan purchase agreement and/or result in modifications to the related mortgage loan purchase agreement. As a result, the making of an instrument or order in respect of Barclays Bank PLC may affect the ability of the issuing entity to meet its obligations in respect of the certificates. While there is provision for compensation in certain circumstances under the Banking Act, there can be no assurance that certificateholders would recover compensation promptly and equal to any loss actually incurred.

As at the date of this prospectus, no order or action has been taken by the UK Treasury or the Bank of England under the Banking Act in respect of Barclays Bank PLC and there has been no indication that any such instrument or order will be made, but there can be no assurance that this will not change and/or that certificateholders will not be adversely affected by any such instrument or order if made.

An opinion of counsel will be rendered on the closing date, based on certain facts and assumptions and subject to certain qualifications, to the effect that the transfer of Barclays’ interest in the mortgage loan by Barclays Bank PLC will constitute a true sale of such assets. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that an interested party would not attempt to assert that such transfer was not a sale nor challenge the transaction under United Kingdom insolvency rules, nor that the transfer could not be affected by an order under the Banking Act. Even if a challenge were not successful, or if an order under the Banking Act itself was successfully challenged, resolution of such a matter could cause significant delay which may impact on payments under the certificates.

The EU Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (2014/59/EU) (collectively with secondary and implementing EU rules, and national implementing legislation, the “BRRD”) equips national authorities in EU member states (the “Resolution Authorities”) with tools and powers for preparatory and preventive measures, early supervisory intervention and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms (collectively, “Relevant Institutions”). If a Relevant Institution enters into a mortgage loan purchase agreement with the depositor and is deemed likely to fail within the circumstances identified in the BRRD, the relevant Resolution Authority may employ such tools and powers in order to intervene in the Relevant Institution’s failure. In particular, liabilities of Relevant Institutions arising out of the mortgage loan purchase agreement (for example, liabilities requiring lenders to repurchase mortgage loans or to cure certain breaches or defects with respect to mortgage loans) and not otherwise subject to an exception, could be subject to the exercise of “bail-in” powers of the relevant Resolution Authorities (which power is just one of a number of wide powers given to Resolution Authorities for the recovery and resolution of banks and other financial institutions). If the relevant Resolution Authority decides to apply the “bail-in” tool to the liabilities of a Relevant Institution, then subject to certain exceptions set out in the BRRD, the liabilities of such Relevant Institution could, among other things, be reduced, converted to shares or other ownership interests in the Relevant Institution, its parent company or a bridge institution or extinguished in full. In addition, under the BRRD the Resolution Authority will have the power (among other tools) to transfer to a third party, rights, assets or liabilities of an institution under resolution. As a result, the depositor or the issuing entity and ultimately, the certificateholders may not be able to recover any liabilities owed by such an entity to the depositor or the issuing entity, as applicable. Further, a relevant Resolution Authority may exercise its discretions in a manner that produces different outcomes amongst institutions resolved in different EU member states. The resolution mechanisms under the BRRD correspond closely to those available to the Single Resolution Board (the “SRB”) and the European Commission under the SR Regulation (Regulation 806/2014) which applies to EU member states in the Eurozone and other member states participating in the single supervisory mechanism (the “SSM”) with the SRB taking on many of the functions assigned to national resolution authorities by the BRRD. If a member state (such as the UK) has chosen not to participate in the SSM, Relevant Institutions established in that member state are not subject to the SR Regulation, but to the BRRD as implemented in that member state. For a discussion of certain risks relating to repurchases of a mortgage loan, see “—Sponsors May Not Make Required Repurchases or Substitutions of Defective Mortgage Loans or Pay Any Loss of Value Payment Sufficient to Cover All Losses on a Defective Mortgage Loan” above.

If Barclays Bank PLC were acting through its New York branch, and were to become the subject of an insolvency proceeding under the laws of the United Kingdom and a proceeding were initiated under Chapter 15 of the federal bankruptcy code or the New York Superintendent of Financial Services were to take possession of the New York branch, it is possible that the New York Superintendent of Financial Services, a creditor or trustee in bankruptcy of Barclays Bank PLC may argue that the sale of its interest in the mortgage loan by Barclays Bank PLC was a pledge of the receivables rather than a sale. The New York Superintendent of Financial Services, a creditor, a bankruptcy trustee or another interested party could still attempt to assert that the transfer of Barclays’ interest in the mortgage loan was not a sale. If such party’s challenge is successful, payments on the certificates would be reduced or delayed. Even if the challenge is not successful, payments on the certificates could be delayed while a court resolves the claim.

The Requirement of the Special Servicer to Obtain FIRREA-Compliant Appraisals May Result in an Increased Cost to the Issuing Entity

Each appraisal obtained pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement is required to contain a statement, or is accompanied by a letter from the appraiser, to the effect that the appraisal was performed in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”), as in effect on the date such appraisal was obtained. Any such appraisal is likely to be more expensive than an appraisal that is not FIRREA compliant. Such increased cost could result in losses to the issuing entity. Additionally, FIRREA compliant appraisals are required to assume a value determined by a typically motivated buyer and seller, and could result in a higher appraised value than one not prepared assuming a forced liquidation or other distress situation. In addition, because a FIRREA compliant appraisal may result in a higher valuation than a non-FIRREA compliant appraisal, there may be a delay in calculating and applying appraisal reductions, which could result in the holders of a given class of certificates continuing to hold the full non-notionally reduced amount of such certificates for a longer period of time than would be the case if a non-FIRREA compliant appraisal were obtained.

Tax Matters and Changes in Tax Law May Adversely Impact the Mortgage Loans or Your Investment

Tax Considerations Relating to Foreclosure

If the issuing entity acquires a mortgaged property (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, a beneficial interest in a mortgaged property) subsequent to a default on the related mortgage loan pursuant to a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the special servicer (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, the related non-serviced special servicer) would be required to retain an independent contractor to operate and manage such mortgaged property. Among other items, the independent contractor generally will not be able to perform construction work other than repair, maintenance or certain types of tenant build-outs, unless the construction was more than 10% completed when the mortgage loan defaulted or when the default of the mortgage loan became imminent. Generally, any (i) net income from such operation (other than qualifying “rents from real property”) (ii) rental income based on the net profits of a tenant or sub-tenant or allocable to a service that is non-customary in the area and for the type of property involved and (iii) rental income attributable to personal property leased in connection with a lease of real property, if the rent attributable to the personal property exceeds 15% of the total rent for the taxable year, will subject the Lower-Tier REMIC to federal tax (and possibly state or local tax) on such income at the corporate tax rate. No determination has been made whether any portion of the income from the mortgaged properties constitutes “rent from real property”. Any such imposition of tax will reduce the net proceeds available for distribution to certificateholders. The special servicer (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, the related non-serviced special servicer) may permit the Lower-Tier REMIC to earn “net income from foreclosure property” that is subject to tax if it determines that the net after-tax benefit to holders of certificates and any related companion loan holder(s), as a collective whole, could reasonably be expected to be greater than under another method of operating or leasing the mortgaged property. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Realization Upon Mortgage Loans”. In addition, if the issuing entity were to acquire one or more mortgaged properties (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, a beneficial interest in a mortgaged property) pursuant to a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, upon acquisition of those mortgaged properties (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, a beneficial interest in a mortgaged property), the issuing entity may in certain jurisdictions, particularly in New York, be required to pay state or local transfer or excise taxes upon liquidation of such properties. Such state or local taxes may

146 

reduce net proceeds available for distribution to the certificateholders. In most circumstances, the special servicer (or in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, the related non-serviced special servicer) will be required to sell such mortgaged property prior to the close of the third calendar year beginning after the year of acquisition.

When foreclosing on a real estate mortgage, a REMIC is generally limited to taking only the collateral that will qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of the REMIC provisions. Foreclosure property includes only the real property (ordinarily the land and structures) securing the real estate mortgage and personal property incident to such real property.

REMIC Status

If an entity intended to qualify as a REMIC fails to satisfy one or more of the REMIC provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, during any taxable year, the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provides that such entity will not be treated as a REMIC for such year and any year thereafter. In such event, the relevant entity would likely be treated as an association taxable as a corporation under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If designated portions of the issuing entity are so treated, the offered certificates may be treated as stock interests in an association and not as debt instruments.

Material Federal Tax Considerations Regarding Original Issue Discount

One or more classes of offered certificates may be issued with “original issue discount” for federal income tax purposes, which generally would result in the holder recognizing taxable income in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income. Investors must have sufficient sources of cash to pay any federal, state or local income taxes with respect to the original issue discount. In addition, such original issue discount will be required to be accrued and included in income based on the assumption that no defaults will occur and no losses will be incurred with respect to the mortgage loans. This could lead to the inclusion of amounts in ordinary income early in the term of the certificate that later prove uncollectible, giving rise to a bad debt deduction. In the alternative, an investor may be required to treat such uncollectible amount as a capital loss under Section 166 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Description of the Mortgage Pool

General

The assets of the issuing entity will consist of a pool of fifty-two (52) fixed-rate mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” or, collectively, the “Mortgage Pool”) with an aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $833,933,944 (the “Initial Pool Balance”). The “Cut-off Date” means the respective due dates for such Mortgage Loans in December 2018 (or, in the case of any Mortgage Loan that has its first due date in January 2019, the date that would have been its due date in December 2018 under the terms of such Mortgage Loan if a monthly debt service payment were scheduled to be due in that month).

Eleven (11) of the Mortgage Loans (30.4%), are each part of a larger whole loan, each of which is comprised of the related Mortgage Loan and one or more loans that are pari passu in right of payment to the related Mortgage Loan (collectively referred to in this prospectus as “Pari Passu Companion Loans”) and/or are subordinate in right of payment to the related Mortgage Loan (referred to in this prospectus as “Subordinate Companion

147 

Loans”). The Pari Passu Companion Loans and the Subordinate Companion Loans are collectively referred to as the “Companion Loans” in this prospectus, and each Mortgage Loan and the related Companion Loan(s) are collectively referred to as a “Whole Loan”. Each Companion Loan is secured by the same mortgage and the same single assignment of leases and rents securing the related Mortgage Loan. See “—The Whole Loans” below for more information regarding the rights of the holders of the related Mortgage Loans and Companion Loans.

The Mortgage Loans were selected for this transaction from mortgage loans specifically originated for securitizations of this type by the mortgage loan sellers and their respective affiliates, or originated by others and acquired by the mortgage loan sellers specifically for a securitization of this type, in either case, taking into account, among other factors, rating agency criteria and anticipated feedback from investors in the most subordinate certificates, property type and geographic location.

The mortgage loan sellers will transfer to the depositor the Mortgage Loans set forth in the following chart, and the depositor will in turn sell the Mortgage Loans to the issuing entity:

Sellers of the Mortgage Loans

Mortgage Loan Seller	Number of Mortgage Loans	Number of Mortgaged Properties	Aggregate Cut-Off Date Balance of Mortgage Loans		Approx. % of Initial Pool Balance
Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC	16	18	$	300,741,141	36.1	%
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association	16	44		168,585,000	20.2
Barclays Bank PLC	8	10		161,953,431	19.4
Basis Real Estate Capital II, LLC	7	9		109,604,372	13.1
BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC	5	14		93,050,000	11.2
Total	52	95	$	833,933,944	100.0	%

All of the Mortgage Loans were originated by their respective sellers or affiliates thereof, except as described in “—Co-Originated or Third-Party Originated Mortgage Loans” below.

Each Mortgage Loan is evidenced by one or more promissory notes or similar evidence of indebtedness (each a “Mortgage Note”) and, in each case, is secured by (or, in the case of an indemnity deed of trust, backed by a guaranty that is secured by) one or more mortgages, deeds of trust or other similar security instruments (each, a “Mortgage”) creating a first lien on a fee simple and/or leasehold interest in one or more commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community real properties (each, a “Mortgaged Property”).

The Mortgage Loans are generally non-recourse loans. In the event of a borrower default on a non-recourse Mortgage Loan, recourse may be had only against the specific Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties and the other limited assets securing such Mortgage Loan, and not against the related borrower’s other assets. The Mortgage Loans are not insured or guaranteed by the sponsors, the mortgage loan sellers or any other person or entity unrelated to the respective borrower. You should consider all of the Mortgage Loans to be nonrecourse loans as to which recourse in the case of default will be limited to the specific property and other assets, if any, pledged to secure the related Mortgage Loan.

148 

Co-Originated or Third-Party Originated Mortgage Loans

The following Mortgage Loans are component promissory notes of whole loans co-originated by the related mortgage loan seller and another entity or were originated by an unaffiliated third party and transferred to the mortgage loan seller:

● The Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan (3.4%), for which Barclays Bank PLC is the mortgage loan seller, is part of a whole loan that was co-originated by Barclays Bank PLC, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, and Société Générale. Such Mortgage Loan was underwritten pursuant to the underwriting guidelines for Barclays Bank PLC.

● The Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio Mortgage Loan (3.0%), for which BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC is the mortgage loan seller, is part of a whole loan that was co-originated by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and Column Financial, Inc. and acquired by BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC for inclusion in the Trust. Such Mortgage Loan was underwritten pursuant to the underwriting guidelines for BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC.

● The Danbury Commerce Portfolio Mortgage Loan (2.7%), for which Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC is the mortgage loan seller, is part of a whole loan that was co-originated by Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC and Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. Such Mortgage Loan was underwritten pursuant to the underwriting guidelines for Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC.

● The Aventura Mall Mortgage Loan (2.4%), for which Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the mortgage loan seller, is part of a whole loan that was co-originated by Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. and was underwritten pursuant to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association’s underwriting guidelines.

● The Liberty Portfolio Mortgage Loan (1.5%), for which Barclays Bank PLC is the mortgage loan seller, is part of a whole loan that was co-originated by Barclays Bank PLC, Citi Real Estate Funding Inc. and Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, L.P. Such Mortgage Loan was underwritten pursuant to the underwriting guidelines for Barclays Bank PLC.

● The Fair Oaks Mall Mortgage Loan (1.1%), for which Barclays Bank PLC is the mortgage loan seller, is part of a whole loan that was co-originated by Barclays Bank PLC and Bank of America, N.A. Such Mortgage Loan was underwritten pursuant to the underwriting guidelines for Barclays Bank PLC.

Certain Calculations and Definitions

This prospectus sets forth certain information with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties. The sum in any column of the tables presented in Annex A-2 or Annex A-3 may not equal the indicated total due to rounding. The information in Annex A-1 with respect to the Mortgage Loans (or Whole Loans, if applicable) and the Mortgaged Properties is based upon the pool of the Mortgage Loans as it is expected to be constituted as of the close of business on December 20, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), assuming that (i) all scheduled principal and interest payments due on or before the Cut-off Date will be made and (ii) there will be no principal prepayments on or before the Closing Date. The statistics in Annex A-1, Annex A-2 and Annex A-3 were primarily derived from information provided

149 

to the depositor by each sponsor, which information may have been obtained from the borrowers.

From time to time, a particular Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan may be identified in this prospectus by name (for example, the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgage Loan or the Fair Oaks Mall Whole Loan); when that occurs, we are referring to the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as the case may be, secured by the Mortgaged Property or portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified by that name on Annex A-1 to this prospectus. From time to time, a particular Companion Loan may be identified by name (for example, the Fair Oaks Mall Companion Loan); when that occurs, we are referring to the (or, if applicable, an individual) Companion Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property or portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified by that name on Annex A-1 to this prospectus. From time to time, a particular Mortgaged Property may be identified in this prospectus by name (for example, the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgaged Property); when that occurs, we are referring to the Mortgaged Property identified by that name on Annex A-1 to this prospectus.

All percentages of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties, or of any specified group of Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties, referred to in this prospectus without further description are approximate percentages of the Initial Pool Balance by Cut-off Date Balances and/or the allocated loan amount allocated to such Mortgaged Properties as of the Cut-off Date.

All information presented in this prospectus with respect to each Mortgage Loan with one or more Pari Passu Companion Loans is calculated in a manner that reflects the aggregate indebtedness evidenced by that Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), unless otherwise indicated. All information presented in this prospectus with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a related Subordinate Companion Loan is calculated without regards to any such Subordinate Companion Loan, unless otherwise indicated.

Definitions

For purposes of this prospectus, including the information presented in the Annexes, the indicated terms have the following meanings:

“ADR” means, for any hotel property, average daily rate.

“Annual Debt Service” generally means, for any Mortgage Loan, 12 times the average of the principal and interest payments for the first 12 payment periods of the Mortgage Loan following the Cut-off Date, provided that:

● in the case of a Mortgage Loan that provides for interest-only payments through maturity, Annual Debt Service means the aggregate interest payments scheduled to be due on the Due Date following the Cut-off Date and the 11 Due Dates thereafter for such Mortgage Loan; and

● in the case of a Mortgage Loan that provides for an initial interest-only period and provides for scheduled amortization payments after the expiration of such interest-only period prior to the maturity date or the Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable, Annual Debt Service means 12 times the monthly payment of principal and interest payable during the amortization period.

Monthly debt service and the debt service coverage ratios are also calculated using the average of the principal and interest payments for the first 12 payment periods of the Mortgage Loan following the Cut-off Date, subject to the proviso to the prior sentence. In the case of any Whole Loan, Annual Debt Service is calculated with respect to the Mortgage

150 

Loan including any related Companion Loan(s) (other than any related Subordinate Companion Loan). Annual Debt Service is calculated with regard to the related Mortgage Loan included in the issuing entity only, unless otherwise indicated. With respect to the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan (3.1%) and the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgage Loan (1.1%), the Annual Debt Service is calculated based on the sum of the first 12 principal and interest payments based on the assumed principal payment schedules set forth on Annex A-4 and Annex A-5, respectively.

“Appraised Value” means, for any Mortgaged Property, the appraiser’s adjusted value of such Mortgaged Property as determined by the most recent third party appraisal of the Mortgaged Property available to the related mortgage loan seller as set forth under “Appraised Value” on Annex A-1. The Appraised Value set forth on Annex A-1 is the “as-is” value unless otherwise specified in this prospectus, on Annex A-1 and/or the related footnotes. In certain cases, the appraisals state values other than “as-is” as well as the “as-is” value for the related Mortgaged Property that assume that certain events will occur with respect to the re-tenanting, construction, renovation or repairs at such Mortgaged Property. In most such cases, the related appraisals take into account the reserves that the mortgage loan seller has taken to complete such re-tenanting, construction, renovation or repairs. We make no representation that sufficient amounts have been reserved or that the appraised value would approximate either the value that would be determined in a current appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or the amount that would be realized upon a sale. In addition, with respect to certain of the Mortgage Loans secured by a portfolio of Mortgaged Properties, the Appraised Value represents the “as-is” value, or values other than “as-is” for the portfolio of Mortgaged Properties as a collective whole, which is generally higher than the aggregate of the “as-is” or appraised values other than “as-is” of the individual Mortgaged Properties or values based on a portfolio of Mortgaged Properties rather than the value of each individual Mortgaged Property. For more information see the definition of “LTV Ratio” and the table and related discussion below. In the case of certain of the Mortgage Loans, the LTV Ratio for such Mortgage Loans has been calculated based on values other than the “as-is” Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property, and in certain other cases, based on an Appraised Value that includes certain property that does not qualify as real property. For additional information, see the table in the definition of LTV Ratio below. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a part of a Whole Loan, the Appraised Value is based on the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property that secures the entire Whole Loan.

“Cash Flow Analysis” is, with respect to one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan among the 15 largest Mortgage Loans, a summary presentation of certain adjusted historical financial information provided by the related borrower, and a calculation of the Underwritten Net Cash Flow expressed as (a) ”Effective Gross Income” minus (b) ”Total Operating Expenses” and underwritten replacement reserves and (if applicable) tenant improvements and leasing commissions. For this purpose:

● “Effective Gross Income” means, with respect to any Mortgaged Property, the revenue derived from the use and operation of that property, less allowances for vacancies, concessions and credit losses. The “revenue” component of such calculation was generally determined on the basis of the information described with respect to the “revenue” component described under “Underwritten Net Cash Flow” below. In general, any non-recurring revenue items and non-property related revenue are eliminated from the calculation of Effective Gross Income.

● “Total Operating Expenses” means, with respect to any Mortgaged Property, all operating expenses associated with that property, including, but not limited to, utilities, administrative expenses, repairs and maintenance, management fees,

151 

advertising costs, insurance premiums, real estate taxes and (if applicable) ground rent. Such expenses were generally determined on the basis of the same information as the “expense” component described under “Underwritten Net Cash Flow” below.

To the extent available, selected historical income, expenses and net income associated with the operation of the related Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan appear in each cash flow summary contained in Annex A-3 to this prospectus. Such information is one of the sources (but not the only source) of information on which calculations of Underwritten Net Cash Flow are based. The historical information presented is derived from audited and/or unaudited financial statements provided by the borrowers. The historical information in the cash flow summaries reflects adjustments made by the mortgage loan seller to exclude certain items contained in the related financial statements that were not considered in calculating Underwritten Net Cash Flow and is presented in a different format from the financial statements to show a comparison to the Underwritten Net Cash Flow. In general, solely for purposes of the presentation of historical financial information, the amount set forth under the caption “gross income” consists of the “total revenues” set forth in the applicable financial statements (including (as and to the extent stated) rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and recovery income (and, in the case of hospitality properties and certain other property types, parking income, telephone income, food and beverage income, laundry income and other income), with adjustments to exclude amounts recognized on the financial statements under a straight-line method of recognizing rental income (including increases in minimum rents and rent abatements) from operating leases over their lives and items indicated as extraordinary or one-time revenue collections or considered nonrecurring in property operations. The amount set forth under the caption “expenses” in the historical financial information consists of the total expenses set forth in the applicable financial statements, with adjustments to exclude allocated parent company expenses, restructuring charges and charges associated with employee severance and termination benefits, interest expenses paid to company affiliates or unrelated third parties, charges for depreciation and amortization and items indicated as extraordinary or one-time losses or considered nonrecurring in property operations.

The selected historical information presented in the cash flow summaries is derived from audited and/or unaudited financial statements furnished by the respective borrowers which have not been verified by the depositor, any underwriters, the mortgage loan sellers or any other person. Audits or other verification of such financial statements could result in changes thereto, which could in turn result in the historical net income presented herein being overstated or understated.

The “Cut-off Date Balance” of any Mortgage Loan, will be the unpaid principal balance of that Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan, after application of all payments due on or before that date, whether or not received.

An “LTV Ratio” for any Mortgage Loan, as of any date of determination, is a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as of that date (assuming no defaults or prepayments on the Mortgage Loan prior to that date), and the denominator of which is the “as-is” Appraised Value (including “as-is” Appraised Values that reflect a portfolio premium) as determined by an appraisal of the Mortgaged Property obtained at or about the time of the origination of the related Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of each of the Mortgage Loans as shown in the table below, a value other than the “as-is” Appraised Value).

152

⁽¹⁾ The Appraised Value represents an “as-is portfolio” appraised value, which reflects a 6.2% premium attributed to the aggregate “as-is” value of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Mortgaged Properties as a whole.

⁽²⁾ The Appraised Value of the Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront Mortgaged Property reflects the value of $45,600,000 as of August 2019, which assumed that 50.0% of the expected PIP work ($1,000,000) would be escrowed. The appraiser concluded an as-is appraised value without the PIP assumption of $44,600,000. At closing, the borrowers deposited certain upfront PIP reserves as described under “—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Redevelopment, Renovation and Expansion”, which represent 50.0% of the engineer’s updated estimated costs of the PIP work.

⁽³⁾ The Appraised Value represents an “As-Stabilized” value as of January 1, 2019, which assumes that $443,900 in PIP renovations will be completed by the borrower between April 2018 and January 1, 2019. At loan origination, the borrower deposited $161,450 into a PIP Reserve, which represents the remaining amount of the PIP renovations to be completed.

The LTV Ratio as of the related maturity date or, if applicable, the Anticipated Repayment Date, set forth in Annex A-2 was calculated based on the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan on the related maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as the case may be, assuming all principal payments required to be made on or prior to the related maturity date or, if applicable, the Anticipated Repayment Date (in either case, not including the Maturity Date Balloon or ARD Payment) are made. In addition, because it is based on the value of a Mortgaged Property determined as of loan origination, the information set forth in this prospectus in Annex A-1 and in Annex A-2 is not necessarily a reliable measure of the related borrower’s current equity in each Mortgaged Property. In a declining real estate market, the appraised value of a Mortgaged Property could have decreased from the appraised value determined at origination and the current actual LTV Ratio of a Mortgage Loan and the LTV Ratio at maturity or anticipated repayment date may be higher than its LTV Ratio at origination even after taking into account amortization since origination. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Appraisals May Not Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property”.

In the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, unless otherwise indicated, LTV Ratios with respect to such Mortgage Loan were calculated including any related Companion Loan(s) (except that, in the case of a Mortgage Loan with a Subordinate Companion Loan, LTV Ratios were calculated without regard to any related Subordinate Companion Loan).

The characteristics described above and in Annex A-2, along with certain additional characteristics of the Mortgage Loans presented on a loan-by-loan basis, are set forth in Annex A-1.

“Cut-off Date Loan-to-Value Ratio” or “Cut-off Date LTV Ratio” generally means the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the Cut-off Date Balance of a Mortgage Loan to the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties determined as described under “—Appraised Value” in this prospectus. See also the footnotes to Annex A-1 in this prospectus. Because the Appraised Values of the Mortgaged Properties were determined prior to origination, the information set forth in this prospectus, including the Annexes hereto, is not necessarily a reliable measure of property value or the related

153 

borrower’s current equity in each Mortgaged Property. In a declining real estate market, the appraised value of a Mortgaged Property may have decreased from the appraised value determined at origination and the current actual Cut-off Date loan-to-value ratio of a Mortgage Loan may be higher than the Cut-off Date LTV Ratio that we present in this prospectus, even after taking into account any amortization since origination. No representation is made that any Appraised Value presented in this prospectus would approximate either the value that would be determined in a current appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or the amount that would be realized upon a sale of that property. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Appraisals May Not Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property” in this prospectus. In the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, the related Cut-off Date LTV Ratio was calculated based on the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) (but excluding any related Subordinate Companion Loan) as of the Cut-off Date.

With respect to the Riverworks Mortgage Loan (4.6%), the Waterford Tulsa Apartments Mortgage Loan (2.2%) and the Kennedy Road Marketplace Mortgage Loan (1.4%), each such Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date LTV Ratio calculated based on the related Cut-off Date Balance less a related earnout or holdback reserve. With respect to the Riverworks Mortgage Loan, the Cut-off Date LTV Ratio including the related earnout reserve is 60.0%. With respect to the Waterford Tulsa Apartments Mortgage Loan, the Cut-off Date LTV Ratio including the related holdback reserve is 74.7%. With respect to the Kennedy Road Marketplace Mortgage Loan, the Cut-off Date LTV Ratio including the related earnout reserve is 69.3%. See “Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Escrows”.

“Debt Service Coverage Ratio”, “DSCR”, “Underwritten Net Cash Flow Debt Service Coverage Ratio”, “Underwritten Debt Service Coverage Ratio”, “U/W NCF DSCR” or “U/W DSCR” generally means the ratio of the Underwritten Net Cash Flow for the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties to the Annual Debt Service as shown on Annex A-1 to this prospectus.

Underwritten Net Cash Flow Debt Service Coverage Ratios for all partial interest-only loans, if any, were calculated based on the first principal and interest payment required to be made to the issuing entity during the term of the Mortgage Loan, and the Underwritten Net Cash Flow Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all interest-only loans were calculated based on the sum of the first 12 interest payments following the Cut-off Date. In the case of the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan (3.1%) and the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgage Loan (1.1%), the Underwritten Net Cash Flow Debt Service Coverage Ratio was calculated based upon the sum of the first 12 principal and interest payments following the Cut-off Date allocable to each such Mortgage Loan based on the assumed principal payment schedules set forth on Annex A-4 and Annex A-5, respectively.

In the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, such debt service coverage ratio was calculated based on the aggregate Annual Debt Service of the Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) (but excluding any related Subordinate Companion Loan).

In general, debt service coverage ratios are used by income property lenders to measure the ratio of (a) cash currently generated by a property or expected to be generated by a property based upon executed leases that is available for debt service to (b) required debt service payments. However, debt service coverage ratios only measure the current, or recent, ability of a property to service mortgage debt. If a property does not possess a stable operating expectancy (for instance, if it is subject to material leases that are scheduled to expire during the loan term and that provide for above-market rents and/or that may be difficult to replace), a debt service coverage ratio may not be a reliable

154 

indicator of a property’s ability to service the mortgage debt over the entire remaining loan term. See the definition of “Underwritten Net Cash Flow” below.

The Underwritten Debt Service Coverage Ratios presented in this prospectus appear for illustrative purposes only and, as discussed above, are limited in their usefulness in assessing the current, or predicting the future, ability of a Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties to generate sufficient cash flow to repay the related Mortgage Loan. No representation is made that the Underwritten Debt Service Coverage Ratios presented in this prospectus accurately reflect that ability.

With respect to the Riverworks Mortgage Loan (4.6%), the Waterford Tulsa Apartments Mortgage Loan (2.2%) and the Kennedy Road Marketplace Mortgage Loan (1.4%), each such Mortgage Loan has an U/W NCF DSCR calculated based on the related Cut-off Date Balance less a related earnout or holdback reserve. With respect to the Riverworks Mortgage Loan, the U/W NCF DSCR including the related earnout reserve is 1.73x. With respect to the Waterford Tulsa Apartments Mortgage Loan, the U/W NCF DSCR including the related holdback reserve is 1.31x. With respect to the Kennedy Road Marketplace Mortgage Loan, the U/W NCF DSCR including the related holdback reserve is 1.27x. See “Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Escrows”.

“GLA” means gross leasable area.

“In-Place Cash Management” means, for funds directed into a lockbox, such funds are generally not made immediately available to the related borrower, but instead are forwarded to a cash management account controlled by the lender and the funds are disbursed according to the related Mortgage Loan documents with any excess remitted to the related borrower (unless an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents or one or more specified trigger events have occurred and are outstanding) generally on a daily basis.

“Loan Per Unit” means the principal balance per unit of measure (as applicable) as of the Cut-off Date. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, the Loan Per Unit is calculated with regard to both the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) and the related Mortgage Loan, but without regard to any related Subordinate Companion Loan, unless otherwise indicated.

“LTV Ratio at Maturity or ARD”, “LTV Ratio at Maturity or Anticipated Repayment Date” and “Balloon or ARD LTV Ratio” generally means the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of (a) the principal balance of a Mortgage Loan scheduled to be outstanding on the stated maturity date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, scheduled to be outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date), assuming (among other things) no prepayments or defaults, to (b) the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties determined as described under “—Appraised Value”. Each Mortgage Loan requires that a regular monthly debt service payment be made on the stated maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable, and accordingly the principal balance referenced in clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence will be net of the principal portion, if any, of the monthly debt service payment due on such date. Because the Appraised Values of the Mortgaged Properties were determined prior to origination, the information set forth in this prospectus, including the Annexes hereto, is not necessarily a reliable measure of the related borrower’s current equity in each Mortgaged Property. In a declining real estate market, the appraised value of a Mortgaged Property may have decreased from the appraised value determined at origination and the actual loan-to-value ratio at maturity of a Mortgage Loan may be higher than the LTV Ratio at Maturity or ARD that we present in this prospectus. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Appraisals May Not

155 

Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property” in this prospectus. In the case of each Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, unless otherwise indicated, such loan-to-value ratio was calculated based on the aggregate principal balance that will be due at maturity (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, scheduled to be outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date) with respect to such Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), but without regard to any related Subordinate Companion Loan.

With respect to the Riverworks Mortgage Loan (4.6%), the Waterford Tulsa Apartments Mortgage Loan (2.2%) and the Kennedy Road Marketplace Mortgage Loan (1.4%), each such Mortgage Loan has an LTV Ratio at Maturity calculated based on the related Cut-off Date Balance less a related earnout or holdback reserve. With respect to the Riverworks Mortgage Loan, the LTV Ratio at Maturity including the related earnout reserve is 60.0%. With respect to the Waterford Tulsa Apartments Mortgage Loan, the LTV Ratio at Maturity including the related holdback reserve is 69.3%. With respect to the Kennedy Road Marketplace Mortgage Loan, the LTV Ratio at Maturity including the related holdback reserve is 64.1%. See “Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Escrows”.

“Maturity Date Balloon or ARD Payment” or “Balloon or ARD Payment” means, for any balloon Mortgage Loan or ARD Loan, the payment of principal due upon its stated maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date. Each Mortgage Loan requires that a regular monthly debt service payment be made on the stated maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable, and accordingly the payment of principal referenced in the immediately preceding sentence will be net of the principal portion, if any, of the monthly debt service payment due on such date.

“Net Operating Income” generally means, for any given period, the total operating revenues derived from a Mortgaged Property during that period, minus the total operating expenses incurred in respect of that Mortgaged Property during that period other than:

● non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization,

● capital expenditures, and

● debt service on the related Mortgage Loan or on any other loans that are secured by that Mortgaged Property.

“NRA” means net rentable area.

“Occupancy Rate” means (i) in the case of multifamily rental properties and manufactured housing community properties, the percentage of rental units, pads or beds, as applicable, that are rented (generally without regard to the length of the lease or rental period) as of the date of determination; (ii) in the case of office, retail and industrial/warehouse properties, the percentage of the net rentable square footage rented as of the date of determination (subject to, in the case of certain Mortgage Loans, one or more of the additional lease-up assumptions); (iii) in the case of hospitality properties, the percentage of available rooms occupied for the trailing 12-month period ending on the date of determination; and (iv) in the case of self storage facilities, either the percentage of the net rentable square footage rented or the percentage of units rented as of the date of determination, depending on borrower reporting. In the case of some of the Mortgage Loans, the calculation of Occupancy Rate for one or more related properties was based on assumptions regarding occupancy, such as: the assumption that a particular tenant at the subject Mortgaged Property that has executed a lease (or, in some cases, a letter of intent to execute a lease), but has not yet taken occupancy and/or has not yet commenced paying rent, will take occupancy on a future date generally expected to occur within 12 months of

156 

the Cut-off Date; assumptions regarding the renewal of particular leases and/or the re-leasing of certain space at the subject Mortgaged Property; and certain additional lease-up assumptions as may be described in the footnotes to Annex A-1 to this prospectus. For information regarding the determination of the occupancy rates with respect to the 15 largest Mortgage Loans, see the individual Mortgage Loan and portfolio descriptions in Annex A-3.

“Occupancy As Of Date” means the date of determination of the Occupancy Rate of a Mortgaged Property.

“Prepayment Provisions” denotes a general summary of the provisions of a Mortgage Loan that restrict the ability of the related borrower to voluntarily prepay the Mortgage Loan. In each case, some exceptions may apply that are not described in the general summary, such as provisions that permit a voluntary partial prepayment in connection with the release of a portion of a Mortgaged Property, or require the application of tenant holdback reserves or performance escrows following failure to satisfy release conditions to a partial prepayment, in each case notwithstanding any lockout period or yield maintenance charge that may otherwise apply. In describing Prepayment Provisions, we use the following symbols with the indicated meanings:

● “D(#)” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which voluntary prepayments of principal are prohibited, but the related borrower is permitted to defease that Mortgage Loan in order to obtain a release of the related Mortgaged Property.

● “L(#)” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which voluntary prepayments of principal are prohibited and defeasance is not permitted.

● “O(#)” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which prepayments of principal are permitted without the payment of any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge and the lender is not entitled to require a defeasance in lieu of prepayment.

● “YM(#)” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which prepayments of principal are permitted with the payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge and the lender is not entitled to require a defeasance in lieu of prepayment.

● “D or @%(#)” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which the related borrower is permitted to defease that Mortgage Loan in order to obtain a release of the related Mortgaged Property and during which prepayments of principal are permitted with the payment of a Prepayment Premium (equal to @% of the prepaid amount).

● “D or YM(#)” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which the related borrower is permitted to defease that Mortgage Loan in order to obtain a release of the related Mortgaged Property and during which prepayments of principal are permitted with the payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge.

157 

● “D or GRTR of @% or YM(#)” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which the related borrower is permitted to defease that Mortgage Loan in order to obtain a release of the related Mortgaged Property and during which prepayments of principal are permitted with the payment of the greater of a Yield Maintenance Charge and a Prepayment Premium (equal to @% of the prepaid amount).

● “GRTR of @% or YM(#)” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which prepayments of principal are permitted with the payment of the greater of a Yield Maintenance Charge and a Prepayment Premium (equal to @% of the prepaid amount) and the lender is not entitled to require a defeasance in lieu of prepayment.

“Remaining Term to Maturity or ARD” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the number of months from the Cut-off Date to the related stated maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date.

“RevPAR” means, with respect to any hotel property, revenue per available room.

“Square Feet”, “SF” or “Sq. Ft.” means, in the case of a Mortgaged Property operated as a retail center, office, self storage or industrial/warehouse facility, any other single-purpose property or any combination of the foregoing, the square footage of the net rentable or leasable area.

“T-12” and “TTM” each means trailing 12 months.

“Term to Maturity” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the remaining term, in months, from the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan to the related maturity date or, in the case of an ARD Loan, the related Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable. Annex A-1 indicates which Mortgage Loans are ARD Loans.

“Underwritten Expenses” or “U/W Expenses” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, an estimate of (a) operating expenses (such as utilities, administrative expenses, repairs and maintenance, management and franchise fees and advertising); and (b) estimated fixed expenses (such as insurance, real estate taxes and, if applicable, ground, space or air rights lease payments), as determined by the related mortgage loan seller and generally derived from historical expenses at the Mortgaged Property, the borrower’s budget or appraiser’s estimate, in some cases adjusted for significant occupancy increases and a market rate management fee and subject to certain assumptions and subjective judgments of each mortgage loan seller as described under the definition of “Underwritten Net Operating Income” below.

“Underwritten Net Cash Flow”, “Underwritten NCF”, “U/W Net Cash Flow” or “U/W NCF” means an amount based on assumptions relating to cash flow available for debt service. In general, it is the Underwritten Net Operating Income less all reserves for capital expenditures, including tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions. Underwritten Net Cash Flow generally does not reflect interest expenses, non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization and other non-reoccurring expenses.

In determining the “revenue” component of Underwritten Net Cash Flow for each Mortgaged Property, the related mortgage loan seller generally relied on a rent roll and/or other known, signed tenant leases, executed extension options, property financial

158 

statements, estimates in the related appraisal, or other indications of anticipated income (generally supported by market considerations, cash reserves or letters of credit) supplied by the related borrower and, where the actual vacancy shown thereon and, if available, the market vacancy was less than 5%, assumed a minimum 5% vacancy in determining revenue from rents (in certain cases, inclusive of rents under master leases with an affiliate of the borrower that relate to space not used or occupied by the master lease tenant, or, in the case of a hotel property, room rent, food and beverage revenues and other hotel property income), except that in the case of certain non-multifamily and non-manufactured housing community properties, space occupied by such anchor or single tenants or other large creditworthy tenants may have been disregarded (or a rate of less than 5% has been assumed) in performing the vacancy adjustment due to the length of the related leases or creditworthiness of such tenants. Where the actual or market vacancy was greater than 5%, the mortgage loan seller determined revenue from rents (in certain cases, inclusive of rents under master leases with an affiliate of the borrower that relate to space not used or occupied by the master lease tenant, or, in the case of a hotel property, room rent, food and beverage revenues and other hotel property income) by generally relying on a rent roll and/or other known, signed leases, executed lease extension options, property financial statements, estimates in the related appraisal, or other indications of anticipated income (generally supported by market considerations, cash reserves or letters of credit) supplied and generally (but not in all cases) the greatest of (a) actual current vacancy at the related Mortgaged Property or a vacancy otherwise based on performance of the related Mortgaged Property (e.g., an economic vacancy based on actual collections for a specified trailing period), (b) if available, current vacancy according to third-party-provided market information or at comparable properties in the same or similar market as the related Mortgaged Property, subject to adjustment to address special considerations (such as where market vacancy may have been ignored with respect to space covered by long-term leases or because it was deemed inapplicable by reason of, among other things, below market rents at or unique characteristics of the subject Mortgaged Property) and/or to reflect the appraiser’s conclusion of a supportable or stabilized occupancy rate, and (c) subject to the discussion above, 5%. In some cases involving a multi-property Mortgage Loan, the foregoing vacancy assumptions may be applied to the portfolio of the related Mortgaged Properties in the entirety, but may not apply to each related Mortgaged Property. In addition, for some Mortgaged Properties, the actual vacancy may reflect the average vacancy over the course of a year (or trailing 12-month period). In determining revenue for multifamily, manufactured housing community and self storage properties, the mortgage loan sellers generally reviewed rental revenue shown on the rolling one-to-twelve month (or some combination thereof) operating statements or annualized the rental revenue and reimbursement of expenses shown on rent rolls or operating statements with respect to the prior one-to-twelve-month periods. In the case of hospitality properties, gross receipts were generally determined based upon the average occupancy not to exceed 80% and daily rates based on third-party-provided market information or average daily rates achieved during the prior one-to-three year annual reporting period.

In determining the “expense” component of Underwritten Net Cash Flow for each Mortgaged Property, the related mortgage loan seller generally relied on, to the extent available, historical operating statements, full-year or year-to-date financial statements, rolling 12-month operating statements, year-to-date financial statements and/or budgets supplied by the related borrower, as well as estimates in the related appraisal, except that: (i) if tax or insurance expense information more current than that reflected in the financial statements was available and verified, the newer information was generally used; (ii) property management fees were generally assumed to be 1% to 6% (depending on the property type) of effective gross revenue (or, in the case of a hospitality property, gross receipts); (iii) in general, depending on the property type, assumptions were made with

159 

respect to the average amount of reserves for leasing commissions, tenant improvement expenses and capital expenditures; (iv) expenses were assumed to include annual replacement reserves; and (v) recent changes in circumstances at the Mortgaged Properties were taken into account (for example, physical changes that would be expected to reduce utilities costs). Annual replacement reserves were generally underwritten to the suggested replacement reserve amount from an independent, third-party property condition or engineering report, or minimum requirements by property type designated by the mortgage loan seller, and are: (a) in the case of retail, office, self storage and industrial/warehouse properties, generally not more than $0.40 per square foot of net rentable commercial area (and may be zero); (b) in the case of multifamily rental apartments, generally not more than approximately $400 per residential unit per year, depending on the condition of the property (and may be zero); (c) in the case of manufactured housing community properties, generally not more than approximately $80 per pad per year, depending on the condition of the property (and may be zero); and (d) in the case of hospitality properties, generally 4% to 5%, inclusive, of gross revenues (and may be zero). In addition, in some cases, the mortgage loan seller recharacterized as capital expenditures items that are reported by borrowers as operating expenses (thus increasing the “net cash flow”).

Historical operating results may not be available for Mortgaged Properties with newly constructed improvements, Mortgaged Properties with triple-net leases, Mortgaged Properties that have recently undergone substantial renovations and newly acquired Mortgaged Properties. In such cases, items of revenue and expense used in calculating Underwritten Net Cash Flow were generally derived from rent rolls, estimates set forth in the related appraisal, leases with tenants, other third-party-provided market information or from other borrower-supplied information. We cannot assure you with respect to the accuracy of the information provided by any borrowers, or the adequacy of the procedures used by the related mortgage loan seller in determining the presented operating information.

For purposes of calculating Underwritten Net Cash Flow for Mortgage Loans where leases have been executed by one or more affiliates of the borrower, the rents under some of such leases, if applicable, have been adjusted downward to reflect market rents for similar properties if the rent actually paid under the lease was significantly higher than the market rent for similar properties.

The amounts described as revenue and expense above are often highly subjective values. In the case of some of the Mortgage Loans, the calculation of Underwritten Net Cash Flow for the related Mortgaged Properties was based on assumptions regarding projected rental income, expenses and/or occupancy, including, without limitation, one or more of the following: (i) the assumption that a particular tenant at a Mortgaged Property that has executed a lease or letter of intent, but has not yet taken occupancy and/or has not yet commenced paying rent, will take occupancy and commence paying rent on a future date generally expected to occur within 12 months of the Cut-off Date; (ii) the assumption that certain rental income that is to be payable commencing on a future date under a signed lease, but where the subject tenant is in an initial rent abatement or free rent period, will be paid commencing on such future date; (iii) assumptions regarding the probability of renewal or extension of particular leases and/or the re-leasing of certain space at a Mortgaged Property and the anticipated effect on capital and re-leasing expenditures; (iv) assumptions regarding the costs and expenses, including leasing commissions and tenant improvements, associated with leasing vacant space or releasing occupied space at a future date; and (v) assumptions regarding future increases or decreases in expenses, or whether certain expenses are capital expenses or should be treated as expenses which are not recurring. In addition, in the case of some commercial properties, the underwritten revenues were

160 

adjusted upward to account for a portion or average of the additional rents provided for under any rent step-ups scheduled to occur over the terms of the executed leases. We cannot assure you that the assumptions made with respect to any Mortgage Loan will, in fact, be consistent with actual property performance. Actual annual net cash flow for a Mortgaged Property may be less than the Underwritten Net Cash Flow presented with respect to that property in this prospectus. In addition, the underwriting analysis of any particular Mortgage Loan as described herein by a particular mortgage loan seller may not conform to an analysis of the same property by other persons or entities.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Underwritten Net Cash Flow Could Be Based On Incorrect or Flawed Assumptions” in this prospectus. See also Annex A-1 and the footnotes thereto.

“Underwritten NCF Debt Yield” or “U/W NCF Debt Yield” generally means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the related Underwritten NCF divided by the Cut-off Date Balance of that Mortgage Loan. However, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, unless otherwise indicated, such debt yield was calculated based on the aggregate principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) as of the Cut-off Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to any related Subordinate Companion Loan).

With respect to the Riverworks Mortgage Loan (4.6%), the Waterford Tulsa Apartments Mortgage Loan (2.2%) and the Kennedy Road Marketplace Mortgage Loan (1.4%), each such Mortgage Loan has an Underwritten NCF Debt Yield calculated based on the related Cut-off Date Balance less a related earnout or holdback reserve. With respect to the Riverworks Mortgage Loan, the Underwritten NCF Debt Yield including the related earnout reserve is 8.5%. With respect to the Waterford Tulsa Apartments Mortgage Loan, the Underwritten NCF Debt Yield including the related holdback reserve is 8.8%. With respect to the Kennedy Road Marketplace Mortgage Loan, the Underwritten NCF Debt Yield including the related holdback reserve is 8.4%. See “Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Escrows”.

“Underwritten Net Operating Income”, “Underwritten NOI”, “U/W Net Operating Income” or “U/W NOI” means an amount based on assumptions of the cash flow available for debt service before deductions for capital expenditures, including replacement reserves, tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions. In general, Underwritten Net Operating Income is the assumed revenue derived from the use and operation of a Mortgaged Property, consisting primarily of rental income, less the sum of (a) assumed operating expenses (such as utilities, administrative expenses, repairs and maintenance, management fees and advertising) and (b) fixed expenses, such as insurance, real estate taxes and, if applicable, ground lease payments. Underwritten Net Operating Income is generally estimated in the same manner as Underwritten Net Cash Flow, except that no deduction is made for capital expenditures, including replacement reserves, tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Underwritten Net Cash Flow Could Be Based On Incorrect or Flawed Assumptions” in this prospectus.

“Underwritten Net Operating Income Debt Service Coverage Ratio” or “U/W NOI DSCR” for any Mortgage Loan for any period, as presented in this prospectus, including the tables presented on Annex A-1 and Annex A-2, is the ratio of Underwritten NOI calculated for the related Mortgaged Property to the amount of total Annual Debt Service on such Mortgage Loan except that the Underwritten Net Operating Income Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all partial interest-only loans, if any, was calculated based on the first principal and interest payment required to be made to the issuing entity during the term of the Mortgage Loan.

161 

However, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, unless otherwise indicated, such debt service coverage ratio was calculated based on the aggregate Annual Debt Service of the related Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) as of the Cut-off Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to any related Subordinate Companion Loan). The Underwritten Net Operating Income Debt Service Coverage Ratios for all interest-only Mortgage Loans were calculated based on the sum of the first 12 interest payments following the Cut-off Date. In the case of the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan (3.1%) and the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgage Loan (1.1%), the Underwritten Net Operating Income Debt Service Coverage Ratio was calculated based upon the sum of the first 12 principal and interest payments following the Cut-off Date allocable to each such Mortgage Loan based on the assumed principal payment schedules set forth on Annex A-4 and Annex A-5, respectively.

With respect to the Riverworks Mortgage Loan (4.6%), the Waterford Tulsa Apartments Mortgage Loan (2.2%) and the Kennedy Road Marketplace Mortgage Loan (1.4%), each such Mortgage Loan has an U/W NOI DSCR calculated based on the related Cut-off Date Balance less a related earnout or holdback reserve. With respect to the Riverworks Mortgage Loan, the U/W NOI DSCR including the related earnout reserve is 1.85x. With respect to the Waterford Tulsa Apartments Mortgage Loan, the U/W NOI DSCR including the related holdback reserve is 1.38x. With respect to the Kennedy Road Marketplace Mortgage Loan, the U/W NOI DSCR including the related holdback reserve is 1.29x. See “Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Escrows”.

“Underwritten NOI Debt Yield” or “U/W NOI Debt Yield” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the related Underwritten NOI divided by the Cut-off Date Balance of that Mortgage Loan. In the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, unless otherwise indicated, such debt yield was calculated based on the aggregate principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) as of the Cut-off Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to any related Subordinate Companion Loan).

With respect to the Riverworks Mortgage Loan (4.6%), the Waterford Tulsa Apartments Mortgage Loan (2.2%) and the Kennedy Road Marketplace Mortgage Loan (1.4%), each such Mortgage Loan has an U/W NOI Debt Yield calculated based on the related Cut-off Date Balance less a related earnout or holdback reserve. With respect to the Riverworks Mortgage Loan, the U/W NOI Debt Yield including the related earnout reserve is 9.1%. With respect to the Waterford Tulsa Apartments Mortgage Loan, the U/W NOI Debt Yield including the related holdback reserve is 9.3%. With respect to the Kennedy Road Marketplace Mortgage Loan, the U/W NOI Debt Yield including the related holdback reserve is 8.5%. See “Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Escrows”.

“Underwritten Revenues” or “U/W Revenues” with respect to any Mortgage Loan means the gross potential rent (in certain cases, inclusive of rents under master leases with an affiliate of the borrower that relate to space not used or occupied by the master lease tenant, or, in the case of a hotel property, room rent, food and beverage revenues and other hotel property income), subject to the assumptions and subjective judgments of each mortgage loan seller as described under the definition of “Underwritten Net Operating Income” above.

“Units”, “Rooms” or “Pads” means (a) in the case of certain Mortgaged Properties operated as multifamily housing, the number of apartments, regardless of the size of or number of rooms in such apartment, (b) in the case of a Mortgaged Property operated as a hotel property, the number of guest rooms, (c) in the case of a Mortgaged Property operated as a manufactured housing community property, the number of pads for

162 

manufactured homes, or (d) in the case of certain Mortgaged Properties operated as self storage properties, the number of self storage units.

“Weighted Average Mortgage Rate” means the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates as of the Cut-off Date.

You should review the footnotes to Annex A-1 in this prospectus for information regarding certain other loan-specific adjustments regarding the calculation of debt service coverage ratio information, loan-to-value ratio information, debt yield information and/or loan per net rentable square foot or unit with respect to certain of the Mortgage Loans.

Except as otherwise specifically stated, the Cut-off Date LTV Ratio, Underwritten Debt Service Coverage Ratio, LTV Ratio at Maturity or ARD, Underwritten NCF Debt Yield, Underwritten NOI Debt Yield and loan per net rentable square foot or unit statistics with respect to each Mortgage Loan are calculated and presented without regard to any indebtedness other than the Mortgage Loan, whether or not secured by the related Mortgaged Property, ownership interests in the related borrower or otherwise, that currently exists or that may be incurred by the related borrower or its owners in the future.

References to “weighted averages” of the Mortgage Loans or any particular sub-group of the mortgage loans are references to averages weighted on the basis of the Cut-off Date Balances of the subject Mortgage Loans.

If we present a debt rating for some tenants and not others in the tables, you should assume that the other tenants are not rated and/or have below-investment grade ratings. If a tenant has a rated parent or affiliate, we present the rating of that parent or affiliate, notwithstanding that the parent or affiliate may itself have no obligations under the lease. Presentation of a rating opposite a tenant should not be construed as a statement that the relevant tenant will perform or be able to perform its obligations.

The sum in any column of any of the tables in Annex A-2 to this prospectus may not equal the indicated total due to rounding.

Historical information presented in this prospectus, including information in Annexes A-1 and A-3 to this prospectus, is derived from audited and/or unaudited financial statements provided by the borrowers. In each case, the historical information is taken from the same source with respect to a Mortgage Loan and subject to the same adjustments and considerations as described above with respect to the 15 largest Mortgage Loans under the definition of “Cash Flow Analysis”.

⁽⁶⁾ Loan-to-value ratios (such as, for example, the Cut-Off Date LTV Ratio and the LTV Ratio at Maturity or ARD) with respect to the Mortgage Loans were generally calculated using “as-is” values as described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions” in this prospectus; provided, that with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, the related loan-to-value ratios have been calculated using “as-complete”, “as-stabilized” or similar hypothetical values. In addition, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans secured by multiple Mortgaged Properties, the appraised value may be an “as-portfolio” value that assigns a premium to the value of the Mortgaged Properties as a whole, which value exceeds the sum of their individual appraised values. Such Mortgage Loans are identified under the definition of “LTV Ratio” set forth under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions” in this prospectus. For further information, see Annex A-1 to this prospectus. See also “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Appraisals May Not Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Appraised Value” in this prospectus.

⁽⁷⁾ In the case of eleven (11) Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties or portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown, Starwood Hotel Portfolio, Christiana Mall, Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio, Danbury Commerce Portfolio, Aventura Mall, Lakeside Pointe & Fox Club Apartments, Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio, Home Depot Technology Center, Liberty Portfolio and Fair Oaks Mall, representing approximately 30.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, each of which has one or more pari passu companion loans and/or subordinate companion loans that are not included in the issuing entity, the debt service coverage ratio, loan-to-value ratio and debt yield have been calculated including the related pari passu companion loan(s) but excluding any related subordinate companion loan. With respect to the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan (3.4%), the related Cut-off Date LTV Ratio, LTV Ratio at Maturity or ARD, U/W NCF DSCR and U/W NOI Debt Yield calculated including the related subordinate companion loan are 52.9%, 52.9%, 1.93x and 8.5%, respectively. With respect to the Aventura Mall Mortgage Loan (2.4%), the related Cut-off Date LTV Ratio, LTV Ratio at Maturity or ARD, U/W NCF DSCR and U/W NOI Debt Yield calculated including the related subordinate companion loan are 50.7%, 50.7%, 2.07x and 8.8%, respectively. With respect to the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgage Loan (1.1%), the related Cut-off Date LTV Ratio, LTV Ratio at Maturity or ARD, U/W NCF DSCR and U/W NOI Debt Yield calculated including the related subordinate companion loans are 47.3%, 44.2%, 1.64x and 11.6%, respectively.

⁽⁸⁾ Debt service coverage ratios are calculated using the average of the principal and interest payments for the first twelve payment periods of the Mortgage Loan following the cut-off date; provided that (i) in the case of a Mortgage Loan that provides for interest-only payments through maturity or its Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable, such items are calculated based on the interest payments scheduled to be due on the first due date following the cut-off date and the 11 due dates thereafter for such Mortgage Loan and (ii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan that provides for an initial interest-only period that ends prior to maturity or its Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable, and provides for scheduled amortization payments thereafter, such items are calculated based on the monthly payment of principal and interest payable for the 12 payment periods immediately following the expiration of the interest-only period.

The issuing entity will include ten (10) Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 26.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, that represent the obligations of multiple borrowers that are liable (other than by reason of cross-collateralization provisions and/or tenancies-in-common borrower structures) on a joint and several basis for the repayment of the entire indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Loan.

See also “—Certain Calculations and Definitions” above for important general and specific information regarding the manner of calculation of the underwritten debt service coverage ratios and loan-to-value ratios.

⁽¹⁾ Because this table presents information relating to Mortgaged Properties and not Mortgage Loans, the information for Mortgage Loans secured by more than one Mortgaged Property is based on allocated loan amounts as set forth in Annex A-1.

⁽²⁾ The Mortgaged Properties or portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as Walgreens – Ginsberg Portfolio, Walgreens – Georgetown, TX and Safeway – Port Angeles, representing approximately 5.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, are operated as stand-alone, single-tenant retail properties.

Retail Properties

In the case of the retail properties set forth in the above chart, we note the following:

● With respect to the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan (3.5%), the Mortgaged Property consists of the borrower’s fee interest in the land and related interests under a net lease for 100% of the net rentable area with the sole tenant at the Mortgaged Property, Stop & Shop. Stop & Shop, which is no longer in occupancy at the property, entered into a net lease with the borrower in 2005 for a term expiring in 2030 with 11, five-year automatic renewals for purposes of preventing a market competitor from leasing such space. Based on a site visit conducted at the Mortgaged Property, Stop & Shop subleases a majority of the net rentable area at the Mortgaged Property to retail subtenants. Stop & Shop remains responsible for all obligations, including the payment of rent, under the prime lease. The obligations

166 

under the net lease are guaranteed by Stop & Shop’s parent company, Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize N.V. Payments under the net lease are the sole source of cash flow for the Mortgaged Property. Any default by Stop & Shop under the net lease would adversely affect the borrower’s ability to make payments under the Mortgage Loan. In addition, although the related improvements are owned by the borrower, the lien of the mortgage does not cover the improvements as the borrower is prohibited under the terms of the net lease from mortgaging such improvements. Pursuant to a recorded declaration, the borrower has covenanted not to encumber the improvements and to convey the improvements to the lender upon any foreclosure on the Mortgaged Property or delivery of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. If the borrower breaches either of these covenants, the Mortgage Loan documents provide full recourse to the borrower and the related guarantor. If the improvements are considered to “secure” the Mortgage Loan pursuant to such declaration under local law before default on the Mortgage Loan became imminent, then the issuing entity will be able to acquire the improvements. However, because a REMIC cannot acquire foreclosed property if a lien did not exist on such property immediately before default on the related loan was imminent, the issuing entity will be required to obtain, prior to acquiring the improvements, an opinion of counsel that the acquisition and ownership of such improvements will not cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC provisions. No assurance can be given that such opinion can be delivered. As a result, if such opinion is not obtainable, in connection with the exercise of remedies following a default, the lender may be required to simultaneously foreclose on the Mortgaged Property and direct the conveyance of the improvements to a third party purchaser, or to sell the Mortgage Loan, which could result in the issuing entity realizing less proceeds than would have occurred had it been able to foreclose on the land and improvements. In addition, in the event of a bankruptcy of the borrower, it is not free from doubt that a bankruptcy court would require the borrower’s covenants under the declaration to be enforced. If not so enforced, the issuing entity could only realize on the land and related interests, but not the improvements.

● With respect to the Christiana Mall Mortgaged Property (3.4%), Target, the largest tenant at the Mortgaged Property, has the unilateral right to require the borrower to purchase the fee simple title to its improvements at the Mortgaged Property (the “Target Improvements“) from Target for an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the then-current fair market value of the portion of the Mortgaged Property that Target occupies (the “Target Parcel“) and (ii) the unappreciated or unamortized original cost of the Target Parcel and Target Improvements and attached trade fixtures, related replacements and later improvements made (but excluding any unattached trade fixtures and personal property). On or prior to the anticipated date of the conveyance of the Target Improvements, the borrower must execute and deliver to the lender any amendment or modification to the security instrument or similar documents reasonably necessary in order to confirm that the lien of the security instrument and the other Mortgage Loan documents attaches to the Target Improvements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the lender. Target’s only remedies are (a) specific performance or (b) retaining the put option deposit (10% of the put option price) plus any accrued interest as damages.

● With respect to the Aventura Mall Mortgaged Property (2.4%), the successor-in-interest to the adjacent Sears parcel, Seritage SRC Finance LLC (“Seritage“) filed suit in 2016 against the borrower in connection with certain developments rights issues, including those affecting the so-called “expansion parcel” at the Mortgaged Property. The parties entered into an interim settlement agreement in August 2016 (the

167 

“Interim Settlement Agreement“) that, among other things, committed the parties to support the respective development applications then pending before the City of Aventura, and allocated financial responsibility for transportation contributions to obtain city approval for increasing available lot coverage. In connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, Seritage delivered an estoppel certificate to the borrower and the lender alleging that the borrower’s amendment to an existing declaration of restrictive covenants affecting the Seritage-owned property constituted a breach of the Interim Settlement Agreement, slander of title and a title defect. The borrower disputes the Seritage allegations, and has demanded Seritage re-issue a clean estoppel certificate. The Mortgage Loan documents provide for personal liability to the borrower and guarantors for losses incurred by the lender arising from alleged breaches or defaults as set forth in the Seritage estoppel, including settlement of claims, payment or performance of work or resulting litigation.

● With respect to the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgaged Property (1.1%), Seritage Growth Properties is the owner of a non-collateral anchor box that was formerly 100% leased to Sears. Seritage Growth Properties exercised its right to recapture 50% of the Sears premises and, in late 2016, Sears consolidated its operations into the lower half of the anchor box. Seritage Growth Properties is in the process of re-positioning the recaptured Sears space and has signed leases with two tenants who are expected to commence construction in mid-2018, with anticipated opening dates in early 2019.

● With respect to the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgaged Property (1.1%), the related loan documents permit the borrower to request that the lender consent to a termination of the lease for collateral anchor tenant Macy’s, the only anchor of the five that is collateral for the related Whole Loan, which consent may be granted in the lender’s sole and absolute discretion and may be subject to certain conditions to be determined by the lender, including: (i) the existence of no event of default; (ii) prior to the termination, the borrower delivering executed non-binding letters of intent with replacement tenants for at least 35% of the leasable area of the Macy’s space and providing for total annual rents of not less than $550,000; (iii) prior to the termination, the borrower depositing cash or a letter of credit into a designated reserve fund in an amount equal to the product of (a) $91,667 multiplied by (b) the number of months remaining from the date of termination of the lease through February 1, 2026; (iv) prior to the termination, the borrower depositing cash or a letter of credit in an amount not less than $10,000,000 for tenant improvement and leasing commissions with respect to the space; and (v) the termination not resulting in a material adverse effect or materially impairing the operation, value or use of the remainder of the Mortgaged Property.

● With respect to the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgaged Property (1.1%), the related borrower may demolish, redevelop, re-tenant and reposition the Macy’s space with the lender’s prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld if the following conditions, among others, are met as reasonably determined by the lender: (i) the existence of no event of default; (ii) the redevelopment not being reasonably expected to result in a material adverse effect or to materially impair the operation, value or use of the remainder of the Mortgaged Property, which condition may be satisfied by certification of the same by the borrower in an officer’s certificate; (iii) the redevelopment does not result in any interruption, reduction or termination in the payment of rents by the tenants at the Mortgaged Property reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect, which condition may be satisfied by certification of

168 

the same by the borrower in an officer’s certificate; (iv) if the aggregate cost of (A) the proposed redevelopment less (B) the excess cash collected due to Macy’s (i) vacating or terminating or giving public notice to do so, (ii) failing to renew, (iii) defaulting beyond applicable notice and cure periods with respect to the payment of rent under its lease, or (iv) becoming involved in bankruptcy proceedings exceeds $13,000,000, the borrower must promptly deliver to the lender the amount of such excess, in the form of cash, U.S. government securities or a letter of credit, as security for the payment of such excess amounts to be applied from time to time to pay the costs of the redevelopment as approved by the lender in its reasonable discretion; (v) prior to demolition of the Macy’s space, the borrower delivering to the lender executed leases with replacement tenants for certain approved uses for at least 65% of the leasable area of the newly redeveloped space and with total rents no less than Macy’s was paying; and (vi) the lender has received a Rating Agency Confirmation.

● With respect to the Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown Mortgage Loan (7.2%), approximately 23.2% of the underwritten revenues are comprised of food and beverage revenue.

● With respect to the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan (3.6%), (i) with respect to the Doubletree Hotel West Palm Beach Airport Mortgaged Property, two new hotel properties are currently under construction: (a) a 140-room Cambria Suites, which is expected to open in January 2020 and (b) a 150-room Canopy by Hilton, which is expected to be open in October 2019, each of which are expected to be directly competitive with such Mortgaged Property, and (ii) with respect to the Fairfield Inn Atlanta Downtown Mortgaged Property, two new hotel properties are currently under construction: (a) a 170-room SpringHill Suites, which was expected to open in August 2018 and (b) a 175-room Hyatt Place, which is expected to open in July 2019, each of will be directly competitive with such Mortgaged Property.

● With respect to the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan (1.8%), the borrower with respect to the Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront Mortgaged Property entered into a master lease agreement with a borrower affiliate for all portions of the Mortgaged Property where food and beverage operations are located. The master

169 

lease agreement represents a change in the structure of the food and beverage operations at the Mortgaged Property. The lease has no termination options and the expiration date of the initial term is August 31, 2033. The annual base rent beginning on September 1, 2018 is $2,425,000, which will increase every five (5) years by ten percent (10%).

● With respect to the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan (1.8%), the borrower with respect to the Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront Mortgaged Property entered into a master lease agreement with a borrower affiliate for all portions of the Mortgaged Property where food and beverage operations are located; provided, that the Garden Grille space is specifically excluded. The master lease agreement represents a change in the structure of the food and beverage operations at the Mortgaged Property. The lease has no termination options and expiration date of the initial term is August 31, 2033. The annual base rent beginning on September 1, 2018 is $900,000, which will increase every five (5) years by ten percent (10%).

Multifamily Properties

In the case of the multifamily properties set forth in the above chart, we note the following:

● With respect to the H Inc. Multifamily Portfolio Mortgage Loan (2.3%), the borrower sponsor plans to build a townhome and micro-unit projects adjacent to the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgage Loan documents contain anti-poaching restrictions within a 3 mile radius of the Mortgaged Property. The Mortgage Loan is recourse for losses related to the borrower’s failure to comply with the anti-poaching provisions.

● With respect to the Lakeside Pointe & Fox Club Apartments Mortgage Loan (1.9%), each of the related Mortgaged Properties is subject to certain affordable housing restrictions in connection with a property tax exemption in place at each of the Mortgaged Properties. Pursuant to a recorded tax regulatory agreement, each Mortgaged Property is required, among other things, to lease (i) at least 75% of its units to households at or below 80% of the area median income and (ii) 20% of its units to households at or below 50% of the area median income. See “—Real Estate and Other Tax Considerations” for additional information.

● With respect to the Heartland Village Apartments Mortgage Loan (0.8%), the related Mortgaged Property is entirely occupied by college students.

● With respect to the Willow Ridge Mortgage Loan (0.7%), an affiliate of the borrower owns certain property adjacent to the Mortgaged Property (the “Affiliate-Owned Outparcel“) that is also operated for multifamily purposes. The Mortgage Loan documents contain anti-poaching provisions prohibiting the borrower, guarantor or their affiliates from directly or indirectly soliciting any existing tenant to (i) relocate from the Mortgaged Property to the Affiliate-Owned Outparcel or (ii) execute a lease for space in the Affiliate-Owned Outparcel instead of at the Mortgaged Property. See “—Non-Recourse Carveout Limitations” for additional information.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Multifamily Properties Have Special Risks”. See also representation and warranty no. 8 in Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto in Annex D-2 to this prospectus (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1 to this prospectus).

Self Storage Properties

⁽¹⁾ In the case of each of the Mortgage Loans that is part of a Whole Loan, the calculation of the Loan per Unit, U/W NCF DSCR and Cut-off Date LTV Ratio for each such Mortgage Loan is calculated based on the principal balance, debt service payment and Underwritten Net Cash Flow for the Mortgage Loan included in the issuing entity and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) in the aggregate.

⁽²⁾ The U/W NCF DSCR and Cut-off Date LTV Ratio with respect to the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan based on the combined senior notes and subordinate notes totaling $550,000,000 are 1.93x and 52.9%, respectively.

See “—Assessment of Property Value and Condition” below for additional information.

For more information regarding the 15 largest Mortgage Loans and/or loan concentrations and related Mortgaged Properties, see the individual Mortgage Loan and portfolio descriptions in Annex A-3. Other than with respect to the top 15 Mortgage Loans identified in the table above, each of the other Mortgage Loans represents no more than 2.4% of the Initial Pool Balance.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Concentrations Based on Property Type, Geography, Related Borrowers and Other Factors May Disproportionately Increase Losses”.

Multi-Property Mortgage Loans and Related Borrower Mortgage Loans

Certain Mortgage Loans set forth in the table below entitled “Multi-Property Mortgage Loans”, representing approximately 28.5% of the Initial Pool Balance are secured by two or more properties. In some cases, however, the amount of the mortgage lien encumbering a particular property or group of those properties may be less than the full amount of indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan, generally to minimize recording tax. In such

174 

instances, the mortgage amount may equal a specified percentage (generally ranging from 100% to 150%, inclusive) of the appraised value or allocated loan amount for the particular Mortgaged Property. This would limit the extent to which proceeds from that property would be available to offset declines in value of the other Mortgaged Properties securing the same Mortgage Loan.

The table below shows each individual Mortgage Loan that is secured by two or more Mortgaged Properties.

Multi-Property Mortgage Loans⁽¹⁾

Mortgage Loan/Property Portfolio Names	Aggregate Cut-off Date Balance		Approx. % of Initial Pool Balance
Walgreens - Ginsberg Portfolio	$	40,000,000	4.8%
Starwood Hotel Portfolio		30,000,000	3.6
Memphis Industrial Portfolio		25,600,000	3.1

Liberty Portfolio		12,850,000	1.5
CLC Self Storage Portfolio		6,700,000	0.8
Total	$	237,778,538	28.5%

⁽¹⁾ Total may not equal the sum of such amounts listed due to rounding.

In some cases, an individual Mortgaged Property may be comprised of two or more parcels that may not be contiguous or may be owned by separate borrowers or a portfolio of Mortgaged Properties may be comprised of Mortgaged Properties owned by separate borrowers. For example, with respect to the Miami Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan (7.9%), the related Mortgaged Property comprises at least two separate parcels, which are non-contiguous.

One (1) group of Mortgage Loans, set forth in the table below entitled “Related Borrower Loans”, representing approximately 2.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, is not cross-collateralized but has borrowers that are related to each other. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Concentrations Based on Property Type, Geography, Related Borrowers and Other Factors May Disproportionately Increase Losses” in addition to Annex A-1 and the related footnotes.

The following table shows each group of Mortgage Loans that are not cross-collateralized but have borrowers that are related to each other.

Related Borrower Loans⁽¹⁾

Mortgage Loan	Number of Mortgaged Properties	Aggregate Cut-off Date Balance		Approx. % of Initial Pool Balance

Geographic Concentrations

The table below shows the states that have concentrations of Mortgaged Properties that secure 5.0% or more of the Initial Pool Balance:

Geographic Distribution⁽¹⁾

State	Number of Mortgaged Properties	Aggregate Cut-off Date Balance		% of Initial Pool Balance
Georgia	8	$	117,878,205	14.1%
Tennessee	5	$	107,750,000	12.9%
Florida	4	$	100,480,906	12.0%
California	10	$	63,755,189	7.6%
New Jersey	3	$	46,034,008	5.5%
Massachusetts	2	$	44,776,000	5.4%
Virginia	7	$	42,402,167	5.1%

⁽¹⁾ Because this table presents information relating to Mortgaged Properties and not the Mortgage Loans, the information for any Mortgaged Property that is one of multiple Mortgaged Properties securing a particular Mortgage Loan is based on an allocated loan amount as stated in Annex A-2.

The remaining Mortgaged Properties are located throughout 23 other states, with no more than 4.1% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount secured by Mortgaged Properties located in any such jurisdiction.

In addition, with respect to the Mortgaged Properties in the Mortgage Pool, we note the following in respect of their geographic concentration:

● Twelve (12) Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as Miami Industrial Portfolio, Riverworks, Starwood Hotel Portfolio – Doubletree Hotel West Palm Beach Airport, Christiana Mall, 35 Claver Place, Aventura Mall, Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio, Hampton Inn & Suites – Vineland, Century Town Center, Fairmont Crossing and Heron Lakes Apartments, securing approximately 27.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, are each located within the state of Florida or within approximately 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean, and, therefore, are more susceptible to hurricanes. See representation and warranty nos. 18 and 26 in Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble in Annex D-1).

● Thirteen (13) Mortgaged Properties securing approximately 11.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, are located in areas that are considered a high earthquake risk (seismic zones 3 or 4), and seismic reports were prepared with respect to these Mortgaged Properties, and based on those reports, no Mortgaged Property has a seismic expected loss greater than 15.0% (in the aggregate, with respect to Mortgaged Properties comprised of multiple structures).

176 

Mortgaged Properties with Limited Prior Operating History

Thirteen (13) of the Mortgaged Properties, securing approximately 11.9% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount (i) were constructed or the subject of a major renovation that was completed within 12 calendar months prior to the Cut-off Date and, therefore, the related Mortgaged Property has no or limited prior operating history, (ii) have a borrower or an affiliate under the related Mortgage Loan that acquired the related Mortgaged Property within 12 calendar months prior to the Cut-off Date and such borrower or affiliate was unable to provide the related mortgage loan seller with historical financial information for such acquired Mortgaged Property or (iii) are single tenant properties subject to triple-net leases with the related tenant where the related borrower did not provide the related mortgage loan seller with historical financial information for the related Mortgaged Property.

See Annex A-3 for more information on the Mortgaged Properties with limited prior operating history relating to the largest 15 Mortgage Loans.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Limited Information Causes Uncertainty”.

Tenancies-in-Common or Diversified Ownership

Three (3) Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties or portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as Miami Industrial Portfolio, Century Town Center and Safeway – Port Angeles, representing approximately 9.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, each have two or more borrowers that own all or a portion of the related Mortgaged Property as tenants-in-common, and the respective tenants-in-common have agreed to a waiver of their rights of partition. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—The Borrower’s Form of Entity May Cause Special Risks” and “—Tenancies-in-Common May Hinder Recovery”.

Described below is certain information regarding Mortgage Loans having borrowers with diversified ownership (generally more than twenty (20) individuals having a direct ownership interest in the borrower):

● With respect to the Bella at Norcross Mortgage Loan (3.2%), the related borrower is a Delaware limited liability company that is directly owned by (i) one managing member holding an approximate 48.05% controlling ownership interest and (ii) 21 individual members holding in the aggregate approximately 51.95% non-controlling ownership interests (of which no such individual member holds more than a 9.0% ownership interest).

● With respect to the Heartland Village Apartments Mortgage Loan (0.8%), the related borrower is a Delaware limited liability company that is directly owned by (i) one managing member holding an approximate 35.2% controlling ownership interest and (ii) approximately 25 individual members holding in the aggregate approximately 64.8% non-controlling ownership interests (of which no such individual member holds more than a 9.1% ownership interest).

● With respect to the Fairmont Crossing Mortgage Loan (0.7%), the related borrower is an Ohio limited partnership, which is directly owned by one general partner and approximately 35 limited partners, none of which own more than 20.0% of the borrowing entity.

177 

● With respect to the Heron Lakes Apartments Mortgage Loan (0.3%), the related borrower is a New Jersey limited liability company that is directly owned by 24 members (none of whom own more than a 10.0% interest).

Condominium and Other Shared Interests

Three (3) of the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties and the portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio – 43790 Devin Shafron Drive, H Inc. Multifamily Portfolio – Motor Wheel Lofts and Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio – Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront, representing approximately 3.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, are secured, in whole or in part, by the related borrower’s interest in one or more units in a condominium. With respect to all such Mortgage Loans (other than as described below), the borrower generally controls the appointment of a majority of the members and voting of the condominium board or the condominium owners cannot take actions or cause the condominium association to take actions that would affect the borrower’s unit(s) without the borrower’s consent.

● With respect to the Prudential - Digital Realty Portfolio Mortgage Loan (3.0%), the 43790 Devin Shafron Drive Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit comprised of Unit E of the Devin Shafron E and F Land Condominium (the “Condominium“). The borrower owns Unit E and has the right to appoint one of two directors to the board that controls the Condominium. Consequently, the borrower does not control the Board but has equal voting power (and therefore veto rights) over almost all decisions. The owner of the other condominium unit is an affiliate of the borrower. Each of the units in the Condominium are their own independent buildings.

● With respect to the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan (1.8%), the borrower has a leasehold interest in a portion of an adjacent parking garage to the Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront Mortgaged Property for 380 out of a total of 1,000 parking spaces and a portion of the ground level retail space, each part of a four (4) unit condominium regime. The condominium regime is controlled in part by the City of Virginia Beach with a 51% ownership interest and the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority with a 49% ownership interest.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Condominium Ownership May Limit Use and Improvements”. See also representation and warranty no. 8 in Annex D-1 to this prospectus and the exceptions thereto in Annex D-2 to this prospectus (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1 to this prospectus).

Fee & Leasehold Estates; Ground Leases

The table below shows the distribution of underlying interests encumbered by the mortgages related to the Mortgaged Properties:

Underlying Estate Distribution⁽¹⁾

Underlying Estate	Number of Mortgaged Properties	Aggregate Cut-off Date Balance	Approx. % of Initial Pool Balance
Fee(2)(3)	91	$                          780,019,770	93.5%
Fee/Leasehold(4)	4	53,914,174	6.5
Total	95	$                          833,933,944	100.0%

⁽¹⁾ Because this table presents information relating to Mortgaged Properties and not Mortgage Loans, the information for Mortgage Loans secured by more than one Mortgaged Property is based on allocated loan amounts as set forth in Annex A-1 to this prospectus.

178 

⁽²⁾ For purposes of this prospectus, an encumbered interest will be characterized as a “fee interest” and not a leasehold interest if (i) the borrower has a fee interest in all or substantially all of the Mortgaged Property (provided that if the borrower has a leasehold interest in any portion of the Mortgaged Property, such portion is not, individually or in the aggregate, material to the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property), or (ii) the Mortgage Loan is secured by the borrower’s leasehold interest in the Mortgaged Property as well as the borrower’s (or other fee owner’s) overlapping fee interest in the related Mortgaged Property.

⁽³⁾ With respect to the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan (3.1%), the borrower currently owns a leasehold interest in the Mortgaged Property pursuant to a lease related to a tax incentive program. The lease expires on December 1, 2018 at which time, the borrower will be required to exercise its option to purchase the Mortgaged Property for $100. See “—Real Estate and Other Tax Considerations” below.

⁽⁴⁾ With respect to the Liberty Portfolio Mortgage Loan (1.5%), the borrower at the Liberty Center at Rio Salado Mortgaged Property currently owns a leasehold interest in such Mortgaged Property pursuant to leases related to a lease excise tax program. The leases expire during the term at which time the fee interest in the Mortgaged Property will automatically vest in the related borrower. See “—Real Estate and Other Tax Considerations” below.

In general except as noted in the exceptions to representation and warranty no. 36 in Annex D-1 indicated on Annex D-2 or otherwise discussed below, and unless the related fee interest is also encumbered by the related Mortgage, each of the ground leases: (i) has a term that extends at least 20 years beyond the maturity date of the Mortgage Loan (taking into account all freely exercisable extension options); and (ii) contains customary mortgagee protection provisions, including notice and cure rights and the right to enter into a new lease with the applicable ground lessor in the event a ground lease is rejected or terminated.

With respect to the Christiana Mall Mortgaged Property (3.4%), the Mortgage Loan is secured in part by the borrower’s leasehold interest in a portion of the Mortgaged Property improved by a surface parking lot and in part by its fee simple interest in the remaining Mortgaged Property. The term of the related ground lease between the borrower, as ground lessee, and Macy’s, as ground lessor, expires on December 31, 2028 (which is less than twenty years beyond the stated maturity date of the related Mortgage Loan), provided, however, that Macy’s may terminate the ground lease at any time with at least twelve (12) months’ prior written notice. There is no annual rent due under the ground lease. The related ground lease does not contain customary mortgagee protection provisions, such as the right to enter into a new lease in the event the ground lease is rejected or terminated.

With respect to the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio – Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront Mortgaged Property (1.2%), the borrower has a leasehold interest in approximately 26,000 square feet of the ground level retail space of an adjacent parking garage, as well as 58 parking spaces. This leasehold interest expires on June 30, 2030, which does not extend 20 years beyond the maturity date of the Mortgage Loan.

Mortgage loans secured by ground leases present certain bankruptcy and foreclosure risks not present with Mortgage Loans secured by fee simple estates. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Related to Ground Leases and Other Leasehold Interests”, “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Foreclosure” and “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Foreclosure—Bankruptcy Laws”.

Environmental Considerations

An environmental report was prepared for each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan (except for the Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as Paso Robles Self Storage, Cartwright Pointe Plaza, Safeway – Port Angeles and 2011 & 2015 Abrams Road) no more than 14 months prior to the Cut-off Date. See Annex A-1 for the date of the environmental report for each Mortgaged Property. The environmental reports were generally prepared pursuant to the American Society for Testing and Materials

179 

standard for a “Phase I” environmental site assessment (the “ESA“). In addition to the Phase I standards, some of the environmental reports will include additional research, such as limited sampling for asbestos-containing material, lead-based paint, radon or water damage with limited areas of potential or identified mold, depending on the property use and/or age. Additionally, as needed pursuant to American Society for Testing and Materials standards, supplemental “Phase II” site investigations have been completed for some Mortgaged Properties to further evaluate certain environmental issues, including certain recognized environmental conditions (each, a “REC“). A Phase II investigation generally consists of sampling and/or testing.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Adverse Environmental Conditions at or Near Mortgaged Properties May Result In Losses” in this prospectus. See also representation and warranty no. 43 in Annex D-1 to this prospectus and the exceptions thereto in Annex D-2 to this prospectus (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1 to this prospectus).

Described below is certain additional information regarding environmental issues at the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans:

● With respect to the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan (3.5%), the related Phase I ESA identified recognized environmental conditions at the Mortgaged Property in connection with the prior operations of (i) a dry cleaning facility utilizing halogenated solvents (PCE) between 1990 and 2005 and (ii) a filling and service station between the 1960s and 1980s in connection with which certain underground storage tanks were reportedly removed, in each instance for which insufficient regulatory records are available to determine any subsurface soil and groundwater impacts or vapor intrusion risks. At origination, in lieu of performing a Phase II ESA, the borrower obtained an environmental insurance policy from Zurich Insurance with a policy limit of $3,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate, a deductible of $25,000 and a 13-year term. Zurich Insurance has an S&P rating of AA- (stable) and an A.M. Best Company rating of A+ (stable).

● With respect to the Danbury Commerce Portfolio Mortgage Loan (2.7%), the related Phase I ESAs identified (i) a recognized environmental condition at portions of the Delaware Commerce Park Mortgaged Property located at 7 and 14 Commerce Drive in Danbury, Connecticut in connection with ongoing investigations being performed pursuant to the Connecticut Property Transfer Act due to the qualification of such portions of the Mortgaged Property as an “establishment” at which hazardous materials may have been generated or otherwise handled and (ii) certain controlled recognized environmental conditions at each of the 34 Executive Drive Mortgaged Property and a portion of the Delaware Commerce Park Mortgaged Property located at 4 Old Newton Road, in each instance related to residual soil and groundwater impacts from historic on-site and/or off-site industrial or manufacturing operations. Each of the 34 Executive Drive Mortgaged Property and the portion of the Delaware Commerce Park Mortgaged Property located at 4 Old Newton Road is subject to environmental land use restrictions that, among other things, prohibit residential use. At origination, the borrower obtained an environmental insurance policy from Great American E&S Insurance Company with a policy limit of $10,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate, a $25,000 deductible and a 13-year term. Great American E&S Insurance Company has an A.M. Best Company rating of A+, an S&P rating of A+ (Superior) and a Moody’s rating of A1.

● With respect to the H Inc. Multifamily Portfolio Mortgage Loan (2.3%), the Phase I ESA with respect to the Motor Wheel Lofts Mortgaged Property identified two RECs

180 

with respect to such Mortgaged Property. The Phase I ESA noted that the Mortgaged Property was part of a larger parcel (the “Parent Parcel“) which was used for industrial purposes from the early 1900s until the late 1970s, the operation of which included manufacturing of stationary and automotive gasoline engines, automobile and truck wheels and metal and wooden wheels and used oil and hazardous materials, with little regulatory oversight. The Phase I ESA reported that a 1991 limited subsurface investigation detected (i) concentrations of ethylbenzene, xylenes, trichloroethene (“TCE“), lead, and thallium in soil samples and (ii) TCE, vinyl chloride, nickel, thallium and zinc in groundwater samples collected within the Parent Parcel to the north and west of the Mortgaged Property. Both soil and groundwater samples exceeded the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (“MDEQ“) Generic Residential Cleanup Criteria Drinking Water concentrations. The only two samples then taken from the Mortgaged Property – one from the easternmost portion of the Mortgaged Property, currently developed with parking and a driveway reported a low level of TCE, and the second, collected from immediately east of former Summit Street detected no contaminants of concern. In October 2005, a baseline environmental assessment (“BEA“) and compliance analysis (“CA“) conducted on the Mortgaged Property concluded that the subsurface of the Mortgaged Property had been impacted by the historical operations and identified the Parent Parcel to be a “facility” as defined in Part 201 of P.A. 451. The BEA concluded that (i) the constituents detected in the soil and groundwater above residential criteria would not be used in significant quantities at the Mortgaged Property; (ii) given that the Parent Parcel is used for residential and commercial purposes and the impacted soil and groundwater is located below paved parking areas, the uses will not exacerbate the existing contamination; and (iii) although the concentrations of volatile compounds and metals were above the Residential Cleanup Criteria Drinking Water concentrations, they were below direct contact and below the generic commercial volatilization to indoor air criteria. According to the consultant, the CA met the requirements of Section 20107a (Due Care) of Part 201 of NREPA. The Phase I ESA further reported that, according to blueprints obtained from the City of Lansing Fire Department in 1995, underground storage tanks (“USTs“) may have been utilized and may still present on the Mortgaged Property as follows: (i) one 500-gallon gasoline UST near the east entrance of the building; (ii) one 1,000-gallon linseed oil UST and one 2,000-gallon turpentine UST in the southwest corner of the building; and (iii) one 750-gallon gasoline UST 50 feet north and 40 feet east of the southwest corner of the building. There has been no reported removal and/or closure documentation of these USTs. At origination, the borrower purchased a lender environmental insurance policy relating to the Motor Wheel Lofts Mortgaged Property from Great American Insurance Group naming the lender as the named insured, with a policy limit of $20,000,000 per incident and $20,000,000 in the aggregate, a self-insured retention of $75,000 and a policy period of 13 years which extends coverage through the maturity date of the Mortgage Loan. Great American Insurance Group has an A.M. Best Company rating of A+(superior), an S&P rating of A+ and a Moody’s rating of A1.

● With respect to the Home Depot Technology Center Mortgage Loan (1.7%), the Phase I ESA reported no RECs at the Mortgaged Property. However, due to the former presence of a gas station at the Mortgaged Property, environmental liability insurance coverage was previously obtained by the prior borrower in lieu of an environmental indemnification agreement, which was subsequently assigned to the current borrower. A Phase II ESA was conducted on August 12, 2003 by Qore Property Sciences, which concluded that the prior use of the Mortgaged Property as a gas station had not substantially impacted the soil and groundwater, and no further

181 

action was necessary. The environmental insurance policy was obtained from Allied World Assurance Company, Inc., which provides for a $10,000,000 limit for each claim and all claims in the aggregate, with a $25,000 per claim deductible and an expiration date of June 22, 2024. The one-time premium of $90,229 has been paid in full. Allied World Assurance Company, Inc. has an S&P rating of “A-”.

● With respect to the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgage Loan (1.1%), a historical recognized environmental condition arising from the removal of an underground storage tank in 2008 and regulatory closure in 2010 exists at the Mortgaged Property. In lieu of obtaining an environmental indemnification agreement with respect to the Mortgaged Property, the lender obtained a lender environmental collateral protection and liability-type insurance policy with a $5,000,000 limit for each claim and all claims in the aggregate, with a $25,000 per claim deductible, from Steadfast Insurance Company, a member company of Zurich North America, with a 5 year term (equal to the loan term) and a 3 year policy tail. The policy premium was pre-paid at closing. Zurich North America has an S&P rating of “AA-”.

● With respect to the Heartland Village Apartments Mortgage Loan (0.8%), the related Phase I ESA did not identify any recognized environmental conditions; however, it did identify radon concentrations in excess of applicable Environmental Protection Agency recommended action levels in certain of the related units at the Mortgaged Property. At origination, the borrower reserved $95,700 with the lender in connection with such radon, representing approximately 115% of the estimated cost of remediation. Under the Mortgage Loan documents, the borrower is required to (i) cause completion of (a) radon testing at each of the related buildings at the Mortgaged Property and delivery to the lender of any related test results (collectively, the “Radon Report“) and (b) any remediation recommended by the Radon Report including, if applicable, installation of a radon mitigation system and (ii) implement an operation and maintenance program for the ongoing investigation and monitoring of radon levels at the Mortgaged Property and maintenance of any related radon mitigation system.

● With respect to each of the Paso Robles Self Storage Mortgage Loan (0.5%), the Cartwright Pointe Plaza Mortgage Loan (0.5%), the Safeway - Port Angeles Mortgage Loan (0.4%) and the 2011 & 2015 Abrams Road Mortgage Loan (0.4%), in lieu of obtaining a Phase I environmental site assessment, the lender obtained a $4,250,000 group lender environmental collateral protection and liability-type environmental insurance policy with $4,250,000 sublimit per claim from Steadfast Insurance Company, a member company of Zurich North America with a 10 year term (equal to the loan term) and a 3 year policy tail and having no deductible. The policy premium was pre-paid at closing. Zurich North America has an S&P rating of “AA-”.

● With respect to the Rochester Square Shopping Center Mortgage Loan (0.2%), the Phase I ESA obtained in connection with loan origination identified RECs related to on-site dry cleaning operations and an off-site leaking underground storage tank (“LUST“). With respect to the on-site dry cleaning operations, although an MDEQ inspection in 2011 indicated operations were in compliance, a Phase II subsurface investigation was required to evaluate contamination from prior operations. The Phase II results confirmed PCE contaminants above regulatory action levels, and the lender required a $58,750 environmental reserve (125% of the estimated cost) to cover the costs of a baseline environmental assessment BEA, submission of the BEA to the MDEQ and the installation and initial monitoring of a sub-slab depressurization system and creation of a due care plan. The remediation actions are due within 90

182 

days of the loan closing unless reasonably extended at lender’s discretion, and the borrower and guarantors have springing full personal liability until such actions have been completed. With respect to the off-site LUST, an affiliate of Albertsons Companies, Inc. has been identified as the responsible party, and soil and groundwater remediation activities are underway under MDEQ oversight. The Mortgaged Property is hydrologically cross-gradient from the off-site LUST property. Given the responsible party’s ongoing remediation work and financial resources of its affiliate, the Phase I consultant did not recommend further assessment at this time.

Redevelopment, Renovation and Expansion

Certain of the Mortgaged Properties are properties which are currently undergoing or are expected to undergo material redevelopment, renovation or expansion, including with respect to hotel properties, executing property improvement plans (“PIPs“) required by the franchisors. Below are descriptions of certain of such Mortgaged Properties.

● With respect to the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan (3.6%), the Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel Mortgaged Property has been undergoing renovations since August 2016, which are expected to be completed in December 2018. The Mortgaged Property has obtained its liquor license and has been approved to open by the City of Des Moines. The hotel will not have its hotel business license until completion of the renovations and the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. The Mortgage Loan documents require the borrower to deposit an up-front PIP reserve in the amount of $4,240,539 in connection with the completion of the renovations. In addition, the Mortgage Loan documents require the borrower to deposit up-front PIP reserves in the amount of: (1) $983,740 for the Fairfield Inn Atlanta Downtown Mortgaged Property in connection with certain PIP renovations to be complete February 2019; and (2) $184,616 for the Courtyard Rocky Mount Mortgaged Property in connection with certain PIP renovations to be complete December 2018.

● With respect to 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan (3.1%), the landlord and the second largest tenant, First Data Corporation, are currently performing certain renovations at the Mortgaged Property including, among other things, a new façade to turn the building into a technology campus and completion of certain tenant improvements. The borrower was required to reserve with the lender $1,529,160, which amounts will be released to the borrower provided (i) no event of default has occurred, (ii) borrower has delivered disbursement documentation in form reasonably satisfactory to lender and (iii) borrower has delivered to lender an estoppel certificate from First Data Corporation in form reasonably satisfactory to lender.

● With respect to the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan (1.8%), with respect to the Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront Mortgaged Property, a PIP has been issued by Hilton Franchise Holding LLC (“Hilton“), which requires renovations to the Mortgaged Property, including renovations to the lobby, meeting space, fitness and pool area, guest bedrooms and bathrooms and exterior. All renovations must be completed within 12 to 18 months. The approximate cost of the renovation is $832,184. The Mortgage Loan documents require the borrower to make monthly deposits into the Hilton FF&E Reserve Account in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of five percent (5%) of the projected annual gross income from room revenue operations at the property, until the borrower has delivered to the lender satisfactory evidence that the borrower has completed the current Hilton PIP. After the borrower completes the current Hilton PIP, the required deposit is reduced to

183 

one-twelfth (1/12th) of four percent (4%) of the projected annual gross income from room revenue operations at the property.

● With respect to the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan (1.8%), with respect to the Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront Mortgaged Property, a PIP has been issued by Hilton, which requires renovations to the Mortgaged Property, including renovations to the lobby, meeting space, elevators, corridors, guest bedrooms and bathrooms, exterior and pool. All renovations must be completed within 24 months. The approximate cost of the renovation is $1,483,907. At origination, the borrower deposited an amount equal to $741,954 into a PIP reserve account. Additionally, the Mortgage Loan documents require the borrower to make monthly deposits into the Hilton FF&E Reserve Account in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of five percent (5%) of the projected annual gross income from room revenue operations at the property, until the borrower has delivered to the lender satisfactory evidence that the borrower has completed the Hilton PIP. After the borrower completes the current Hilton PIP, the required deposit is reduced to one-twelfth (1/12th) of four percent (4%) of the projected annual gross income from room revenue operations at the property.

● With respect to The Tannery Mortgage Loan (1.6%), the borrower is currently performing certain renovations at the Mortgaged Property including, among other things, base building improvements, upgrades to parking and a gym patio and completion of certain tenant improvements. At origination, the borrower reserved with the lender approximately $1,835,378, representing approximately 100% of the estimated cost to complete such work.

● With respect to the Hampton Inn & Suites—Sterling Heights Mortgage Loan (0.9%),the borrower is required to complete an ongoing franchisor-mandated PIP that includes, among other things, upgrades to the guestrooms, common areas, recreational facilities and building exteriors. Approximately $1,481,010 in PIP renovations were completed prior to origination. At origination, the borrower reserved $161,450, representing approximately 100% of the estimated cost to complete the remaining PIP work. The borrower expects to complete the remaining PIP work by January 1, 2019.

We cannot assure you that any of these redevelopments, renovations or expansions will be completed, that any amounts reserved in connection therewith will be sufficient to complete any such redevelopment, renovation or expansion or that the failure to do so will not have a material adverse impact on the related Mortgaged Properties. Additionally, other Mortgaged Properties may, and likely do, have property improvement or renovation plans in various stages of completion or planning.

Certain risks related to redevelopment, renovation and expansion at a Mortgaged Property are described in “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Related to Redevelopment, Expansion and Renovation at Mortgaged Properties”.

Assessment of Property Value and Condition

In connection with the origination or acquisition of each Mortgage Loan or otherwise in connection with this offering, an appraisal was conducted in respect of the related Mortgaged Property by an independent appraiser that was state certified and/or a member of the Appraisal Institute or an update of an existing appraisal was obtained. In each case, the appraisal complied, or the appraiser certified that it complied, with the real estate appraisal regulations issued jointly by the federal bank regulatory agencies under the

184 

Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, as amended. In general, those appraisals represent the analysis and opinion of the person performing the appraisal and are not guarantees of, and may not be indicative of, present or future value. We cannot assure you that another person would not have arrived at a different valuation, even if such person used the same general approach to and same method of valuing the property or that different valuations would not have been reached separately by the mortgage loan sellers based on their internal review of such appraisals. The appraisals obtained as described above sought to establish the amount a typically motivated buyer would pay a typically motivated seller. Such amount could be significantly higher than the amount obtained from the sale of a Mortgaged Property under a distress or liquidation sale.

In addition, in general, a licensed engineer, architect or consultant inspected the related Mortgaged Property, in connection with the origination or acquisition of each of the Mortgage Loans or otherwise in connection with this offering, to assess the condition of the structure, exterior walls, roofing, interior structure and mechanical and electrical systems. Engineering reports by licensed engineers, architects or consultants generally were prepared, except for newly constructed properties, certain manufactured housing community properties and properties for which the borrower’s interest consists of a fee interest solely on the land and not any improvements, for the Mortgaged Properties in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan or in connection with this offering. None of these engineering reports are more than fourteen (14) months old as of the Cut-off Date. In certain cases where material deficiencies were noted in such reports, the related borrower was required to establish reserves for replacement or repair or remediate the deficiency.

Litigation and Other Considerations

There may be material pending or threatened legal proceedings against, or other past or present material criminal or material adverse regulatory circumstances experienced by, the borrowers, their sponsors and managers of the Mortgaged Properties and their respective affiliates. In addition, the Mortgaged Properties may be subject to ongoing litigation. For example:

● With respect to the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan (3.1%), the related sponsor settled several tax liens relating to the disposition of a non-performing asset and pursuant to a review of a 1031 exchange by the New York State Attorney General. The related guarantor has paid all back taxes and settled the matters with the State of New York.

● With respect to the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan (3.1%), a civil suit is pending against the guarantor, Asher Roshanzamir, which is not related to the Mortgaged Property. In 2016, the board of managers of a luxury condominium filed a complaint against Mr. Roshanzamir, alleging breach of contract as a result of defective design of an apartment building located in downtown Manhattan. Mr. Roshanzamir has indicated that he is awaiting a settlement letter from the plaintiff’s attorney, and the plaintiff has agreed to accept a $275,000 settlement.

● With respect to the Danbury Commerce Portfolio Mortgage Loan (2.7%), Melvyn J. Powers, one of the two related guarantors, is a named defendant, among others, in a civil action filed pursuant to a certain complaint dated as of August 6, 2018 relating to such guarantor’s management of an unrelated property that is not collateral for the Mortgage Loan and certain actions taken while co-trustee of a family trust.

185 

● With respect to the Aventura Mall Mortgage Loan (2.4%), borrower sponsors/guarantors, Jeffrey Soffer and Jacquelyn Soffer, among others, were named defendants in a lawsuit by Nexbank regarding a non-recourse agreement related to a loan for the Town Square Las Vegas Mall. The court dismissed the original litigation. Plaintiffs have filed a subsequent claim asserting that they were entitled to reimbursement of attorney’s fees accumulated during the litigation (approximately $3.2 million) pursuant to the terms of the non-recourse agreement as a result of defendants recording of a notice of pendency on the property prior to the dismissal which plaintiffs assert constituted “the placing voluntarily of a Lien” on the property. In addition, Jeffrey Soffer, was one of several co-defendants in a $100 million wrongful death action filed in Florida in January 2014 related to a 2012 helicopter crash in the Bahamas. The lawsuit sought to undo a previous insurance settlement, among other things, and no additional insurance coverage is available for further damages. The lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice in August 2014, however, the plaintiff appealed the ruling and the appellate court remanded the case. Although no additional insurance coverage is available under Mr. Soffer’s policy, certain codefendants have coverage. The most recent status conference was held in June 2018.

● With respect to the Infinite Self Storage Mortgage Loan (0.7%), the non-recourse carve-out guarantors, Jeffrey L. Kittle and the Jeffrey L. Kittle Trust, are co-defendants in a lawsuit filed by a former employee of an affiliate. The plaintiff alleges breach of contract and fiduciary duty, among other things, related to his employment agreement and ownership purchase options, and is seeking approximately $1.3 million in damages, together with additional amounts for related tax liability and attorneys’ fees. The trial court denied a partial summary judgment motion by the plaintiff and the matter is currently in discovery. The non-recourse carve-out guarantors have a combined net worth in excess of the amount of the Mortgage Loan.

Loan Purpose; Default History, Bankruptcy Issues and Other Proceedings

● Thirty-two (32) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 67.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, were originated in connection with the borrower’s refinancing of a previous mortgage loan.

● Sixteen (16) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 23.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, were originated in connection with the related borrower’s acquisition of the related Mortgaged Property.

● One (1) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 4.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, was originated in connection with the borrower’s acquisition of the related Mortgaged Property and refinancing of a previous mortgage loan.

● Three (3) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 3.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, were originated in connection with the borrower’s recapitalization of the related Mortgaged Property.

186 

Certain of the borrowers, principals of the borrowers and other entities under the control of such principals or single tenants at the related Mortgaged Properties or in certain cases a Mortgaged Property that secures a Mortgage Loan are, or previously have been, parties to bankruptcy proceedings, foreclosure proceedings, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transactions and/or mortgage loan workouts resulting from mortgage loan defaults, which in some cases involved a Mortgaged Property that secures a Mortgage Loan to be included in the Trust. For example:

● With respect to twenty-two (22) Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties or portfolios of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as Miami Industrial Portfolio, Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown, 1000 Windward Concourse, Christiana Mall, Bella at Norcross, Memphis Industrial Portfolio, 35 Claver Place, Aventura Mall, H Inc. Multifamily Portfolio, Waterford Tulsa Apartments, Lakeside Pointe & Fox Club Apartments, Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio, Home Depot Technology Center, Century Town Center, 1400 Flat Gap Road, Fair Oaks Mall, Kaden Tower, Hampton Inn & Suites – Sterling Heights, 33 Dart Road, Fairmont Crossing, Willow Ridge and Rochester Square Shopping Center, representing approximately 51.3% of the Initial Pool Balance, (a) within approximately the last 10 years, related borrowers, sponsors and/or key principals (or affiliates thereof) have previously (i) sponsored, been a key principal with respect to, or been a payment or non-recourse carveout guarantor on mortgage loans secured by, real estate projects (including in some such cases, the particular Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties referenced above in this sentence) that became the subject of foreclosure proceedings or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or bankruptcy proceedings or directly or indirectly secured a real estate loan or a real estate related mezzanine loan that was the subject of a discounted payoff, sale at a loss or modification, or (ii) been the subject of personal bankruptcy proceedings, (b) the related Mortgage Loan refinanced a prior loan secured by, or a mezzanine loan secured by interests in the owner of, the Mortgaged Property which prior loan was the subject of a maturity default, a maturity extension or a discounted payoff, short sale or other restructuring, (c) within approximately the last 10 years, the Mortgaged Property was acquired by the related borrower or an affiliate thereof or a seller thereto from a foreclosing lender or through foreclosure or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, as part of an REO transaction, at a foreclosure sale or out of receivership, or (d) the Mortgaged Property has been or currently is involved in a borrower, principal or single-tenant bankruptcy.

In particular, with respect to the 15 largest Mortgage Loans we note the following:

● With respect to the Miami Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan (7.9%), borrower sponsor Francis Greenburger has been involved in multiple foreclosures/discounted payoffs in connection with unrelated properties since 2010, through Time Equities, Inc., which was founded by Mr. Greenburger. Additionally, Francis Greenburger had one partnership bankruptcy in the 1990s during the savings and loan crisis; a limited partnership in which the borrower sponsor owned a 50% interest filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy arising from lender failure and FDIC takeover of the institution.

● With respect to the Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown Mortgage Loan (7.2%), the related non-recourse carveout guarantor or its affiliates have sponsored other real estate properties securing 2 loans that went into default and were subject to a foreclosure and deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

● With respect to the 1000 Windward Concourse Mortgage Loan (3.7%), the related non-recourse carveout guarantor holds a limited partnership interest in certain

187 

commercial units in a mixed use residential condominium property securing a loan that went into default and was subject to a foreclosure proceeding in 2009. In 2012, the parties executed a loan modification agreement and the related foreclosure proceeding was dismissed. As of origination, such modified loan remained in good standing.

● With respect to the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan (3.4%), the related borrower sponsor, GGP Inc., filed for bankruptcy protection in 2009 and emerged from bankruptcy in 2010. In the bankruptcy case of GGP Inc., filed on April 16, 2009, the debtors initially sought approval of a debtor-in-possession loan to the corporate parent entities guaranteed by the property-level single-purpose entities and secured by second liens on their properties. Although the debtor-in-possession loan subsequently was modified to eliminate the subsidiary guarantees and second liens, we cannot assure you that, in the event of a bankruptcy of the borrower sponsor, the borrower sponsor would not seek approval of a similar debtor-in-possession loan, or that a bankruptcy court would not approve a debtor-in-possession loan that included such subsidiary guarantees and second liens on such subsidiaries’ properties.

● With respect to the Bella at Norcross Mortgage Loan (3.2%), the related borrower sponsor, Gideon Levy, had three prior loans that reached maturity default between July 2010 and March 2013. With respect to one loan with an original amount $4,080,000, the borrower sponsor subsequently agreed to pay $150,000 in addition to the loan amount without a discounted payoff. With respect to the second loan with an original amount of $5,500,000, the borrower sponsor agreed to a discounted payoff with the lender. With respect to a third loan with an original amount of $12,390,000, the property was subject to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.

● With respect to the Memphis Industrial Portfolio Mortgage Loan (3.1%), the borrower sponsor, Curtis Wegener, experienced credit issues and prior bankruptcies from 2008-2010 involving other real estate projects he sponsored. During this period, Mr. Wegener filed voluntary bankruptcies for many of his assets with the consent of his banking relationships to enter into an orderly liquidation and maximize the recovery for Mr. Wegener’s creditors. A few creditors, however, did not release their guaranties and after liquidation filed default judgments against Mr. Wegener for the deficiency amount. Mr. Wegener currently has seven outstanding judgments. According to the borrower, none of the seven creditors have taken affirmative steps to enforce and collect on the default judgments. At origination, the borrower sponsor delivered a $1,000,000 letter of credit to backstop any breach of a non-recourse carveout under the Mortgage Loan documents. Additionally, the lender received a non-consolidation opinion confirming that any claim brought by a judgment creditor will not impact the control of the borrower.

● With respect to the 35 Claver Place Mortgage Loan (2.6%), the related non-recourse carveout guarantor has sponsored another real estate project that was subject to foreclosure proceedings in 2009.

Certain risks relating to bankruptcy proceedings are described in “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—A Bankruptcy Proceeding May Result in Losses and Delays in Realizing on the Mortgage Loans” and “—Litigation Regarding the Mortgaged Properties or Borrowers May Impair Your Distributions” and “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Foreclosure—Bankruptcy Laws”. See also representation and warranty no. 41 and no. 42 in Annex D-1 to this prospectus and the exceptions thereto in Annex D-2 to this prospectus (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1 to this prospectus).

Tenant Issues

Tenant Concentrations

The Mortgaged Properties have tenant concentrations as set forth below:

● Twenty (20) of the Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as Walgreens – Ginsberg Portfolio, Franklin Towne Center, Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio, Liberty Portfolio – 8501 East Raintree Drive, 1400 Flat Gap Road, 33 Dart Road, Walgreens – Georgetown, TX and Safeway – Port Angeles, securing approximately 14.5% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, are leased to a single tenant.

● Eight (8) of the Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as 1000 Windward Concourse, 1600 Terrell Mill Road, Danbury Commerce Portfolio – 34 Executive Drive, Home Depot Technology Center, Vernon Industrial, Liberty Portfolio – Liberty Center at Rio Salado, Century Town Center and 225 Carolina, securing approximately 14.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, have a tenant that leases over 50% (by net rentable area) of the Mortgaged Property (other than the single tenant Mortgaged Properties identified above).

See “—Lease Expirations and Terminations” below, and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally”, “—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases—A Tenant Concentration May Result in Increased Losses” and “—Concentrations Based on Property Type, Geography, Related Borrowers and Other Factors May Disproportionately Increase Losses” in this prospectus.

Lease Expirations and Terminations

Expirations

Certain of the Mortgaged Properties are subject to tenant leases that expire before the maturity date of the related Mortgage Loan. For tenant lease expiration information in the form of a lease rollover chart relating to each of the top 15 Mortgage Loans, see the related summaries attached as Annex A-3 to this prospectus. In addition, see Annex A-1 to this prospectus for tenant lease expiration dates for the 5 largest tenants (based on net rentable area leased) at each retail, office and industrial Mortgaged Property. Whether or not any of the 5 largest tenants at a particular Mortgaged Property have leases that expire before, or shortly after, the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, there may be a significant percentage of leases at a particular Mortgaged Property that expire in a single calendar year, a rolling 12-month period or prior to, or shortly after, the maturity of a Mortgage Loan. Furthermore, some of the Mortgaged Properties have significant leases or a significant concentration of leases that expire before, or shortly following, the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan. In addition, certain other Mortgaged Properties may have a significant portion of the leases that expire in a particular year, or portion thereof, at the related Mortgaged Property. Prospective investors are encouraged to review the charts entitled “Major Tenants” and “Lease Expiration Schedules” for the 15 largest Mortgage Loans presented on Annex A-3 to this prospectus, in particular those related to the Mortgaged Properties or portfolios of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as 1600 Terrell Mill Road, Memphis Industrial Portfolio, California Mixed Use Portfolio and Danbury Commerce Portfolio.

189 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured, in whole or in part, by the Mortgaged Properties identified in the table below, the Mortgaged Properties are occupied by a single tenant under a lease which expires prior to, or within 12 months after, the maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable, of the related Mortgage Loan.

Mortgaged Property	% of the Initial Pool Balance by Allocated Loan Amount	Owner Occupied	Lease Expiration Date		Maturity Date or Anticipated Repayment Date
Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio – 14901 FAA Boulevard	0.6%	No		02/02/2022	10/06/2023
Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio – 43790 Devin Shafron Drive	0.4%	No		05/31/2021	10/06/2023
Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio – 636 Pierce Street	0.4%	No		04/30/2023	10/06/2023
Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio – 21551 Beaumeade Circle	0.3%	No		12/31/2023	10/06/2023
Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio – 7505 Mason King Court	0.3%	No		12/31/2023	10/06/2023
Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio – 444 Toyama Drive	0.2%	No		07/31/2022	10/06/2023
Liberty Portfolio – 8501 East Raintree Drive	0.2%	No		07/31/2026	10/06/2028
1400 Flat Gap Road	1.2%	No		09/30/2025	11/06/2025
33 Dart Road	0.8%	No		05/31/2029	11/11/2028

Because this table presents information relating to Mortgaged Properties and not Mortgage Loans, if a Mortgaged Property loses its sole tenant, whether upon expiration of the related lease or otherwise, the “dark value” of such property may be materially below the “as-is” value of such property or even the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan because of the difficulties of finding a new tenant that will lease the space on comparable terms as the old tenant. Such difficulties may arise from an oversupply of comparable space, high vacancy rates, low rental rates or the Mortgaged Property’s lack of suitability for most potential replacement tenants.

Certain other Mortgaged Properties are occupied by multiple tenants under leases that all expire during a given twelve month period ending prior to the applicable maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date.

In addition, with respect to certain other Mortgaged Properties, there are leases that represent in the aggregate a material (greater than 25%) portion (but less than 100%) of the net rentable square footage of the related Mortgaged Property that expire in a single calendar year prior to, or shortly after, the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan.

See Annex A-1 for tenant lease expiration dates for the 5 largest tenants (based on net rentable area leased) at each retail, office and industrial Mortgaged Property.

Terminations

In addition to termination options tied to certain triggers as described in “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases—Early Lease Termination Options May Reduce Cash Flow” that are common with respect to retail properties, certain tenant leases permit the related tenant to unilaterally terminate its lease at any time.

Other

Tenants under certain leases included in the Underwritten Net Cash Flow, Underwritten NOI and/or Occupancy Rate may not be in physical occupancy, may not have begun paying rent or may be in negotiation. For more information see footnote 1 to Annex A-1 to this prospectus. For example:

● Seven (7) of the Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as Riverworks, Franklin Towne Center, 1600 Terrell Mill Road, Home Depot Technology Center, The Tannery, Liberty Portfolio – Liberty Center at Rio Salado and Century Town Center, securing approximately 17.3% of the Initial Pool Balance, have, among the 5 largest tenants at such Mortgaged Property (by net rentable area leased), tenants that have renewed leases or have taken possession of the space demised under the related lease with the related borrower, but have not yet commenced payments of rent or are in a rent abatement period under the related lease, have tenants that have “gone dark”, have tenants that have executed leases, but have not taken possession or commenced payment of rent, have tenants that are in a build out phase and have not taken occupancy, have tenants that are expanding their space but have not commenced payment of the additional rent, have tenants that renewed leases that provide free rent and have not commenced payment of rent, have tenants that are entitled to free rent periods or rent abatement in the future, or have subleases in place that can increase vacancy risks. In certain circumstances, an escrow reserve related to free rent periods and tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions due in connection with such leases was funded at closing. See Annex A-1 to this prospectus and the accompanying footnotes for additional information with respect to these Mortgage Loans.

In particular, with respect to single tenant properties or tenants that are one of the top 5 tenants (by net rentable area leased) for the 15 largest Mortgage Loans, certain of such tenants have not taken possession or commenced paying rent. For more information see Annex A-3 to this prospectus and the accompanying footnotes, in particular those related to the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as 1600 Terrell Mill Road.

Certain of the Mortgaged Properties may have tenants that sublet a portion of their space or have provided notice of their intent to sublet out a portion of their space in the future. For more information see Annex A-3 to this prospectus and the accompanying footnotes for additional information.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Underwritten Net Cash Flow Could Be Based On Incorrect or Flawed Assumptions”.

Purchase Options and Rights of First Refusal

Below are certain purchase options and rights of first refusal to purchase all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property with respect to certain of the Mortgaged Properties.

191 

● Forty-two (42) of the Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as Walgreens – Ginsberg Portfolio, Starwood Hotel Portfolio, Christiana Mall, Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio, 1400 Flat Gap Road, 33 Dart Road, Walgreens – Georgetown, TX, Safeway – Port Angeles and Rochester Square Shopping Center, securing approximately 17.9% of the Initial Pool Balance, are each subject to a purchase option, right of first refusal or right of first offer (“ROFO”) to purchase such Mortgaged Property, a portion thereof or a related pad site; such rights are held by either a tenant at the related Mortgaged Property, a tenant at a neighboring property, a hotel franchisor, a licensee, a homeowner’s association, another unit owner of the related condominium, a neighboring property owner, a master tenant, a lender or another third party. See “Yield and Maturity Considerations” in this prospectus. See representation and warranty no. 7 in Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

In addition, with respect to the 15 largest Mortgage Loans presented on Annex A-3 to this prospectus, we note the following:

● With respect to the Walgreens - Ginsberg Portfolio Mortgage Loan (4.8%), (i) with respect to each Mortgaged Property the related single tenant, Walgreen Co., has a right of first refusal (“ROFR“) to purchase its related property if an offer is received that borrower is otherwise willing to accept. The ROFR is not extinguished by foreclosure. (ii) With respect to the Walgreens – Laredo, TX Mortgaged Property, if the Walgreens’ lease is not in effect, then an adjacent property owner has a ROFR to purchase the related Mortgaged Property if an offer is received that borrower is otherwise willing to accept. The ROFR is not extinguished by foreclosure.

● With respect to the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan (3.6%), with respect to 15 of the 22 constituent Mortgaged Properties that are subject to a franchise agreement with Marriott International, Inc., as the franchisor, representing approximately 72.0% of the total rooms and 68.7% of total UW NCF, franchisor has a ROFR to acquire the related Mortgaged Property if there is transfer of the related hotel or controlling direct or indirect interest in the borrower to a competitor (generally, any person that exclusively develops, operates or franchises through or with a competitor of the franchisor comprising at least 10 luxury service hotels (if a full service hotel), 20 full service hotels or 50 limited service hotels). The ROFR is not extinguished by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, and if transfer to a competitor is by foreclosure, or if the franchisee or its affiliates become a competitor, the franchisor has the right to purchase the hotel upon notice to the franchisee. The franchisor comfort letter provides that, if the lender exercises remedies against the franchisee, lender may appoint a lender affiliate to acquire the Mortgaged Property and enter into a management or franchise agreement if it is not a competitor or a competitor affiliate; provided, however, that a lender affiliate will not be deemed a competitor simply due to its ownership of multiple competing hotels or having engaged managers to manage such other hotels.

● With respect to the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan (3.4%), Target, the largest tenant at the related Mortgaged Property has an option to purchase its leased premises at the Mortgaged Property from the borrower for fair market value at any time during the term of its lease. If the tenant exercises its purchase option, the tenant will still be obligated to pay the common area maintenance contributions to the borrower for the remaining term of the lease. The Mortgage Loan documents permit the borrower to obtain a release of the Target Parcel from the lien of the mortgage in the event Target exercises its purchase option, provided certain terms and conditions in the

192 

Mortgage Loan documents are satisfied. The right to purchase has not been subordinated to the Mortgage Loan documents and will remain in effect following a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.

● With respect to the Prudential - Digital Realty Portfolio Mortgage Loan (3.0%), (i) the 7505 Mason King Court Mortgaged Property and the 43790 Devin Shafron Drive Mortgaged Property, the sole tenant at the related Mortgaged Properties, VADATA, has a ROFO to purchase either Mortgaged Property at which it is a tenant if the related borrower markets any portion of such Mortgaged Property for sale. VADATA’s ROFO does not apply to foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, but does apply to a subsequent sale; (ii) the 21551 Beaumeade Circle Mortgaged Property, the sole tenant at the Mortgaged Property, Equinix, has a ROFO to purchase the related Mortgaged Property if the borrower markets such property for sale. Equinix’s ROFO does not apply to foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, but does apply to a subsequent sale; and (iii) the 636 Pierce Street Mortgaged Property, the sole tenant at the Mortgaged Property, BNY Mellon, has a ROFR to purchase the related Mortgaged Property if the borrower receives an offer it is otherwise prepared to accept. The BNY Mellon’s ROFR does not apply to foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, but does apply to a subsequent sale.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases—Leases That Are Not Subordinated to the Lien of the Mortgage or Do Not Contain Attornment Provisions May Have an Adverse Impact at Foreclosure”.

Affiliated Leases

Certain of the Mortgaged Properties may be leased in whole or in part by borrowers or borrower affiliates. See Annex A-1 and the footnotes related thereto for more information on affiliated leases at the Mortgaged Properties.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases—Mortgaged Properties Leased to Borrowers or Borrower Affiliated Entities Also Have Risks”. For more information on affiliated leases see the footnotes to Annex A-1 to this prospectus.

Insurance Considerations

The Mortgage Loans generally require that each Mortgaged Property be insured by a hazard insurance policy in an amount (subject to an approved deductible) at least equal to the lesser of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and 100% of the replacement cost of the improvements located on the related Mortgaged Property, and if applicable, that the related hazard insurance policy contain appropriate endorsements or have been issued in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of co-insurance and not permit reduction in insurance proceeds for depreciation; provided that, in the case of certain of the Mortgage Loans, the hazard insurance may be in such other amounts as was required by the related originators.

In general, the standard form of hazard insurance policy covers physical damage to, or destruction of, the improvements on the Mortgaged Property by fire, lightning, explosion, smoke, windstorm and hail, riot or strike and civil commotion, subject to the conditions and exclusions set forth in each policy. Each Mortgage Loan generally also requires the related borrower to maintain comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal and bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the related Mortgaged

193 

Property in an amount generally equal to at least $1,000,000. Each Mortgage Loan generally further requires the related borrower to maintain business interruption insurance in an amount not less than approximately 100% of the gross rental income from the related Mortgaged Property for not less than 12 months. In general, the Mortgage Loans (including those secured by Mortgaged Properties located in California) do not require earthquake insurance. Thirteen (13) of the Mortgaged Properties, securing approximately 11.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, are located in areas that are considered a high earthquake risk (seismic zones 3 and 4). Seismic reports were prepared with respect to these Mortgaged Properties, and based on those reports, no Mortgaged Property has a probable maximum loss greater than 15.0% (in the aggregate, with respect to Mortgaged Properties comprised of multiple structures).

● With respect to seventy-one (71) Mortgaged Properties, securing approximately 76.7% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, the related borrowers (or, in some cases, tenants which are permitted to maintain insurance in lieu of the related borrowers) maintain insurance under blanket policies. See representation and warranty nos. 18 and 31 on Annex D-1 to this prospectus and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 to this prospectus (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1 to this prospectus).

Certain of the Mortgaged Properties may permit the borrower’s obligations to provide required insurance (including property, rent loss, liability and terrorism coverage) to be suspended if a sole or significant tenant or the property manager elects to provide third party insurance or self-insurance in accordance with its lease or management agreement. Described below are Mortgage Loans having such third party insurance or self-insurance conditions:

● With respect to four (4) Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties or portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as Walgreens – Ginsberg Portfolio, 33 Dart Road, Walgreens – Georgetown, TX and Safeway – Port Angeles, securing approximately 6.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related borrower may rely on the single tenant’s, ground lease tenant’s or owner’s association’s insurance or, in some cases, self-insurance, so long as the single tenant’s or ground lease tenant’s lease is in effect and no default has occurred under the lease and the tenant’s insurance or, if applicable, self-insurance meets the requirements under the related loan documents or (in certain cases) of the related lease. Under certain circumstances generally relating to a material casualty, a sole tenant entitled to self-insure may have the right to terminate its lease at the related Mortgaged Property under the terms of that lease. If the tenant fails to provide acceptable insurance coverage or, if applicable, self-insurance, the borrower generally (but not in all cases) must obtain or provide supplemental coverage to meet the requirements under the Mortgage Loan documents. See representation and warranty nos. 18 and 31 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions to representation and warranty nos. 18 and 31 on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

In situations involving leased fee properties, where the tenant or other non-borrower party constructed improvements and either maintains its own insurance or self-insures, the borrower will typically have no right to available casualty proceeds. Subject to applicable restoration obligations, casualty proceeds are payable to the tenant or other non-borrower party and/or its leasehold mortgagee. Further, with respect to Mortgaged Properties that are part of condominium regimes, the insurance may be maintained by the condominium association rather than the related borrower. Many Mortgage Loans contain limitations on the obligation to obtain terrorism insurance. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the

194 

Mortgage Loans—Terrorism Insurance May Not Be Available for All Mortgaged Properties”. See also representation and warranty nos. 18 and 31 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Associated with Blanket Insurance Policies or Self-Insurance”.

Use Restrictions

Certain of the Mortgaged Properties are subject to restrictions that restrict the use of such Mortgaged Properties to its current use, place other use restrictions on such Mortgaged Property or limit the related borrower’s ability to make changes to such Mortgaged Property. In certain cases, use of a Mortgaged Property may be restricted due to environmental conditions at the Mortgaged Property. See “—Environmental Considerations”.

In the case of certain such Mortgage Loans subject to such restrictions the related borrower is generally required pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents to maintain law or ordinance insurance coverage if any of the improvements or the use of a Mortgaged Property constitutes a legal non-conforming structure or use, which provides coverage for loss to the undamaged portion of such property, demolition costs and the increased cost of construction. However, the related property may not be able to be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to maintain the pre-casualty/pre-destruction use of the subject structure/property, and such law and ordinance insurance coverage does not provide any coverage for lost future rents or other damages from the inability to restore the property to its prior use or structure or for any loss of value to the related property. For example:

● With respect to the H Inc. Multifamily Portfolio Mortgage Loan (2.3%), the existing use at the JI Case Lofts Mortgaged Property is permitted when it conforms to special conditions set forth in the applicable zoning code; however, the Mortgaged Property does not meet the special conditions relating to lot area requirements and is therefore a legally non-conforming use. In the event of a casualty, the building may be restored, if the cost of restoration is less than 50 percent of the pre-casualty fair market value. If damage exceeds 50 percent, it may not be restored, except in conformity with the current zoning ordinance. At origination, the borrower provided law and ordinance insurance, and the Mortgage Loan documents provide recourse for losses related to the inability to rebuild, replace or restore the improvements at the Mortgaged Property (i) in compliance with legal requirements following a casualty to at least the same number of square feet as existed at the Mortgaged Property immediately prior to the casualty and (ii) in a manner that does not materially and adversely affect the value of the Mortgaged Property.

● With respect to the Lakeside Pointe & Fox Club Apartments Mortgage Loan (1.9%), a portion of (i) the Lakeside Pointe at Nora Mortgaged Property is included on the National Wetland Inventory as a federally regulated fresh pond area and (ii) the Fox Club Apartments Mortgaged Property is included on the National Wetland Inventory as a federally regulated riverine area. The borrower is prohibited from any construction or renovation at either of the Mortgaged Properties which might impact such areas other than as permitted by local, state or federal regulations.

● With respect to the Liberty Portfolio Mortgage Loan (1.5%), the Liberty Center at Rio Salado Mortgaged Property is encumbered by a patent from the United States Government (the “Tempe Patent“) which prohibits residential use of the Liberty

195 

Center at Rio Salado Mortgaged Property; violation of this no-residential-use restriction would result in a reversion of title to the United States Government. The Liberty Portfolio Mortgage Loan is fully recourse to the borrower and the guarantor if a violation of the Tempe Patent results in a loss of title to the Liberty Center Rio Salado Mortgaged Property.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Related to Zoning Non-Compliance and Use Restrictions” and representation and warranty nos. 8 and 26 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2.

In addition, certain of the Mortgaged Properties are subject to “historic” or “landmark” designations, which results in restrictions and in some cases prohibitions on modification of certain aspects of the related Mortgaged Property.

Appraised Value

In certain cases, appraisals may reflect “as-is” values and values other than an “as-is” value. However, the Appraised Value reflected in this prospectus with respect to each Mortgaged Property reflects only the “as-is” value, except as set forth under the definition of “LTV Ratio” under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definition—Definitions”. The values other than the “as-is” value may be based on certain assumptions, such as future construction completion, projected re-tenanting or increased tenant occupancies. We cannot assure you that those assumptions are or will be accurate or that any such non-”as-is” value will be the value of the related mortgaged property at maturity or other specified date. In addition, with respect to certain mortgage loans secured by multiple mortgaged properties, the appraised value may be an “as-portfolio” value that assigns a premium to the value of the mortgaged properties as a whole, which value exceeds the sum of their individual appraised values. Such appraised values, the related “as-is” appraised values, and the Cut-off Date LTV Ratio and LTV Ratio at Maturity based on both such hypothetical value and the “as-is” appraised value, are set forth under the definition of “LTV Ratio” set forth under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions—Definitions”.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Appraisals May Not Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property”.

Non-Recourse Carveout Limitations

While the Mortgage Loans generally contain non-recourse carveouts for liabilities such as liabilities as a result of fraud by the borrower, certain voluntary insolvency proceedings or other matters, certain of the Mortgage Loans may not contain such carveouts or contain limitations to such carveouts. In general, the liquidity and net worth of a non-recourse guarantor under a Mortgage Loan will be less, and may be materially less, than the outstanding principal amount of that Mortgage Loan. In addition, certain Mortgage Loans have additional limitations to the non-recourse carveouts. See representation and warranty no. 28 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

In addition, there may be impediments and/or difficulties in enforcing some or all of the non-recourse carveout liability obligations of individual guarantors depending on the domicile or citizenship of the guarantor.

With respect to the Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown Mortgage Loan (7.2%), the aggregate liability of the guarantors with respect to any of the guaranteed obligations (other

196 

than with respect to any fraud by the borrower, guarantors or any affiliate under control by the foregoing) under the Mortgage Loan documents is limited to $35,000,000, plus any out of pocket, documented costs and expenses incurred by the lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with the collection of any amounts due thereunder.

With respect to the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan (3.4%), the Mortgage Loan documents are recourse to the borrower for losses in connection with any transfer (excluding the permitted transfers) of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, except to the extent expressly permitted by the Mortgage Loan documents. Additionally, the related guaranty provides that the liability of the nonrecourse carve-out guarantor for breaches or violations of the full recourse provisions related to bankruptcy or insolvency actions under the Mortgage Loan documents are capped at 20.0% of the outstanding principal balance of the whole loan at the time of the occurrence of such action.

With respect to the Aventura Mall Mortgage Loan (2.4%), the liability of the guarantors for breaches or violations of the nonrecourse carve-out guaranty is capped at $350,000,000 in the aggregate, plus all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, court costs and fees and reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by the lender in connection with the enforcement of, or preservation of the lender’s rights under, the guaranty. In addition, the guarantors for the Mortgage Loan are Simon Property Group, L.P., (the “Simon Guarantor“) and Jeffrey Soffer and Jacquelyn Soffer (the “Turnberry Guarantor“). The related guaranty provides that (i) the liability of the Simon Guarantor and the Turnberry Guarantor is on a several and not joint basis (although the constituent Turnberry Guarantors are jointly and severally liable inter se) and (ii) the Turnberry Guarantor is liable only for the acts or omissions of the Turnberry Guarantor and any party that controls or is controlled by the Turnberry Guarantor (a “Turnberry Guarantor Affiliate“) and the Simon Guarantor is liable only for the acts or omissions of the Simon Guarantor and any party that controls or is controlled by the Simon Guarantor (a “Simon Guarantor Affiliate“), except with respect to any guaranteed obligations that (A) are not attributable to any act or omission of a Turnberry Guarantor (or a Turnberry Guarantor Affiliate) or the Simon Guarantor (or a Simon Guarantor Affiliate) or (B) are attributable to an act or omission of both the Turnberry Guarantor (or a Turnberry Guarantor Affiliate) and the Simon Guarantor (or the Simon Guarantor Affiliate), liability is required to be allocated between the Turnberry Guarantor (66.67%) and the Simon Guarantor (33.33%).

With respect to the Lakeside Pointe & Fox Club Apartments Mortgage Loan (1.9%), the related guarantor has provided a full recourse guaranty for the payment in full of the entire outstanding principal balance due under the Mortgage Loan documents (including the payment of any debt service, taxes, insurance and other charges or expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the related Mortgaged Properties).

With respect to the Hampton Inn & Suites – Sterling Heights Mortgage Loan (0.9%), the related guarantor has provided a full recourse guaranty for the entire indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan documents.

With respect to the Willow Ridge Mortgage Loan (0.7%), the related guarantor has provided a full recourse payment guaranty in an amount up to $568,500 (the “Payment Guaranty“), provided that the Payment Guaranty will expire and be of no further force and effect upon, among other conditions, delivery to the lender of reasonably satisfactory evidence that certain adjacent property owned by an affiliate of the borrower has maintained a stabilized occupancy of at least 85% for at least three consecutive months.

no. 28 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

Real Estate and Other Tax Considerations

Below are descriptions of real estate tax matters relating to certain Mortgaged Properties.

● • With respect to the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan (3.1%), in connection with receiving certain tax abatements through the PILOT program offered through the Development Authority of Cobb County, Georgia (the “Development Authority“), the borrower transferred its fee interest in the portion of the Mortgaged Property occupied by the largest tenant to the Development Authority, and the Development Authority then entered into a ground lease with the borrower for the same portion of the Mortgaged Property. The Development Authority also consented to granting to lender a security interest in the ground leased property. At closing, lender has a perfected security interest in the fee and leasehold interests in the Mortgaged Property. In addition, upon termination of these tax abatements on December 1, 2018, the borrower is required to purchase the fee interest in this portion of the Mortgaged Property back from the Development Authority for $100.

● With respect to the 35 Claver Place Mortgage Loan (2.6%), the related Mortgaged Property is eligible for a partial real estate tax exemption and abatement under New York City’s J-51 Program. The J-51 Program is expected to commence in July 2019 and expire in June 2033, after the Mortgage Loan maturity date. The exemption benefit is subject to all units becoming subject to rent stabilization for the duration of the benefits. The initial in-place rents are the initial legal rents under the rules of the J-51 Program and rent stabilization guidelines will apply. Current rent stabilization guidelines permit a 1.5% rental increase on a 1-year lease renewal and 2.5% rental increase for a 2-year lease renewal. Upon tenant rollover, however, the borrower would expect to increase rents in accordance with vacancy increase guidelines which permit, (i) a 5% increase from the last vacancy lease signed less than two years ago and (ii) a 20% increase from the last vacancy lease signed four or more years ago, assuming a 2-year lease. Real estate taxes were underwritten at the average of the first 10 years of projected real estate taxes payable (after J-51 exemption and abatement), which equals $39,290. There is a reserve account in the amount of $315,000 which amount represents the difference between the amount of real estate taxes that will be due during the first year of the term of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is not entitled to the J-51 Benefits as of July 1, 2019, less the amount of the real estate taxes underwritten by the lender.

● With respect to the H Inc. Multifamily Portfolio Mortgage Loan (2.3%), the Motor Wheel Lofts Mortgaged Property benefits from Neighborhood Enterprise Zone (“NEZ“) certificates issued by the Michigan State Tax Commission when the Mortgaged Property was developed and rehabilitated into multi-family use. The NEZ certificates exempt the facilities, but not the land, from ad valorem taxes. Pursuant to the NEZ certificates, the tax exemptions commenced on December 31, 2006 and are scheduled to expire on December 30, 2020. The lender underwrote taxes based on the full, unabated taxes.

● With respect to the Lakeside Pointe & Fox Club Apartments Mortgage Loan (1.9%), each of the related Mortgaged Properties benefits from a full property tax exemption due to the borrower’s status as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation (which status is contingent upon the continued maintenance of affordable housing restrictions at the

198 

Mortgaged Properties), and the lender underwrote property taxes assuming such exemption will remain in place for the term of the Mortgage Loan. In the event of a foreclosure, the lender or its successor-in-interest may not be able to retain such property tax exemptions. See “—Multifamily Properties Have Special Risks” for additional information.

● With respect to the Home Depot Technology Center Mortgage Loan (1.7%), the related Mortgaged Property is located within the Marietta Opportunity Zone (the “Opportunity Zone“), as designated by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs. Businesses located within the Opportunity Zone have the ability to qualify for a $3,500 tax credit per employee when two or more eligible new jobs are created within a single tax year, which may be applied against 100% of any Georgia corporate income tax liability. However, each tax credit will expire five years after the creation of such eligible new job.

● With respect to the Liberty Portfolio Mortgage Loan (1.5%), the four buildings located at the Liberty Center at Rio Salado Mortgaged Property each receives a 50.0% real estate tax abatement for eight years commencing on the respective certificate of occupancy date for each building through a Government Property Lease Excise Tax (“GPLET“) abatement with the Arizona Department of Revenue and the City of Tempe. In lieu of paying real estate taxes, the borrower pays to the Arizona Department of Revenue and the City of Tempe, in the form of rent, 50.0% of what the respective buildings’ real estate taxes otherwise would have been (2018 rent due under the GPLET abatement for the four buildings located at the Liberty Center at Rio Salado Mortgaged Property was equal to $882,940). The borrower has a leasehold interest in each of the buildings located at the Liberty Center at Rio Salado Mortgaged Property, which are subject to the GPLET abatement until expiration of the underlying lease, at which point title in the fee interest will automatically vest in the borrower. Real estate taxes were underwritten based on the 10-year average of each respective building’s current tax amount and full tax amount when the GPLET abatement expires. The 8501 East Raintree Drive Mortgaged Property is not subject to an abatement and real estate taxes were underwritten to the budgeted amount equal to $509,650. In addition, with respect to the 8501 East Raintree Drive Mortgaged Property, such property was legally subdivided from, but is still part of a larger tax parcel with, certain adjacent property that is not part of the collateral for the Liberty Portfolio Whole Loan.

Certain risks relating to real estate taxes regarding the Mortgaged Properties or the borrowers are described in “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Increases in Real Estate Taxes May Reduce Available Funds”.

Delinquency Information

As of the Cut-off Date, none of the Mortgage Loans will be 30 days or more delinquent and none of the Mortgage Loans have been 30 days or more delinquent since origination. A Mortgage Loan will be treated as 30 days delinquent if the scheduled payment for a due date is not received from the related borrower by the immediately following due date.

199 

Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans

Amortization of Principal

The Mortgage Loans provide for one or more of the following:

Twenty (20) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 46.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, provide for interest-only payments for the entire term to stated maturity, with no scheduled amortization prior to that date.

Seventeen (17) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 23.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, provide for an initial interest-only period that expires between twelve (12) and seventy-two (72) months following the related origination date and thereafter require monthly payments of principal and interest based on amortization schedules significantly longer than the remaining term to stated maturity.

Twelve (12) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 21.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, require monthly payments of principal and interest for the entire term to stated maturity.

One (1) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 3.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, requires monthly payments of principal and interest for the entire term to Anticipated Repayment Date; provided that if such Mortgage Loan is outstanding from and after the Anticipated Repayment Date occurring approximately twelve years following the related origination date, interest will accrue at the related Revised Rate.

One (1) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 3.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, provides for monthly payments of principal and interest for the first 43 payments of the loan term based on an amortization schedule significantly longer than the remaining term to stated maturity, followed by an interest-only period for the next 24 payments of the term, and then monthly payments of principal and interest based on an amortization schedule significantly longer than the remaining term to stated maturity.

One (1) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 1.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, provides for interest-only payments for the entire term to Anticipated Repayment Date, with no scheduled amortization prior to that date; provided that if such Mortgage Loan is outstanding from and after the Anticipated Repayment Date occurring approximately ten years following the related origination date, interest will accrue at the related Revised Rate.

Grace Period (Days)	Number of Mortgage Loans	Aggregate Cut-off Date Balance	Approx. % of Initial Pool Balance
0(1)(2)	46	$                 750,329,572	90.0%
5	6	83,604,372	10.0
Total:	52	$                 833,933,944	100.0%

⁽¹⁾       Includes the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan (3.4%), which has one 1-day grace period for any monthly payment, provided that such 1-day grace period may only be used once during any twelve-month period during the term of the related Mortgage Loan.

⁽²⁾       Includes the Bella at Norcross Mortgage Loan (3.2%), which has two 5-day grace periods for any monthly payment, provided that such 5-day grace period may only be used once during any twelve-month period during the term of the Mortgage Loan.

As used in this prospectus, “grace period” is the number of days before a payment default is an event of default under the terms of each Mortgage Loan. See Annex A-1 for information on the number of days before late payment charges are due under the Mortgage Loans. The information on Annex A-1 regarding the number of days before a late payment charge is due is based on the express terms of the Mortgage Loans. Some jurisdictions may impose a statutorily longer period.

All of the Mortgage Loans are secured by first liens on, or security interests in fee simple, leasehold or a similar interest in the related Mortgaged Properties, subject to the permitted exceptions reflected in the related title insurance policy. All of the Mortgage Loans bear fixed interest rates.

All of the Mortgage Loans accrue interest on the basis of the actual number of days in a month, assuming a 360-day year (“Actual/360 Basis“).

ARD Loans

Two (2) Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 to this prospectus as Franklin Towne Center and Home Depot Technology Center (each, an “ARD Loan“), representing approximately 5.2% of the Initial Pool Balance, provide that,

201 

after a certain date (the “Anticipated Repayment Date“ or “ARD“), if the borrower has not prepaid the ARD Loan in full, any principal outstanding on that date will accrue interest at an increased interest rate (the “Revised Rate“) rather than the stated Mortgage Rate (the “Initial Rate“). See Annex A-1 for the Anticipated Repayment Date for the ARD Loans.

With respect to the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan (3.5%), the related Revised Rate is equal to the greater of (i) the related Initial Rate plus 300 basis points and (ii) the 10-year swap yield as of the related Anticipated Repayment Date plus 300 basis points; provided that interest accrued after the ARD will continue to be currently payable at the Initial Interest Rate with payment of the excess interest to be deferred until the outstanding principal balance of the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan is paid in full.

With respect to the Home Depot Technology Center Mortgage Loan (1.7%), the related Revised Rate is equal to a rate of 8.001% per annum.

The Home Depot Technology Center Mortgage Loan (1.7%) is interest-only for its full term. Consequently, the repayment of such ARD Loan in full on its Anticipated Repayment Date would require a substantial payment of principal on that date (except to the extent that such ARD Loan is repaid prior thereto).

The ARD provisions described above, to the extent applicable, may result in an incentive for the borrower to repay the ARD Loan on or before its Anticipated Repayment Date but the borrower will have no obligation to do so. We make no statement regarding the likelihood that such ARD Loan will be repaid on its Anticipated Repayment Date.

After its Anticipated Repayment Date, an ARD Loan further requires that all cash flow available from the related Mortgaged Properties after payment of the monthly debt service payments required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and all escrows and property expenses required under the related Mortgage Loan documents be used to accelerate amortization of principal (without payment of any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium) on such ARD Loan. While interest at the Initial Rate continues to accrue and be payable on a current basis on an ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, the payment of Excess Interest, to the extent actually collected, will be deferred and will be required to be paid, only after the outstanding principal balance of such ARD Loan has been paid in full, at which time the Excess Interest will be paid to the holders of the Class V certificates. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks of Anticipated Repayment Date Loans”.

Prepayment Protections and Certain Involuntary Prepayments and Voluntary Prepayments

Voluntary prepayments, if permitted, generally require the payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or a Prepayment Premium unless the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable) is prepaid within a specified period (ranging from approximately two to seven months) up to and including the stated maturity date. See Annex A-1 and Annex A-2 for more information on the prepayment protections attributable to the Mortgage Loans on a loan-by-loan basis and a pool basis.

Additionally, certain Mortgage Loans may provide that in the event of the exercise of a purchase option by a tenant or the sale of real property or the release of a portion of the Mortgaged Property, that the related Mortgage Loans may be prepaid in part prior to the expiration of a prepayment/defeasance lockout provision. See “—Releases; Partial Releases” below.

202 

Generally, no Yield Maintenance Charge will be required for prepayments in connection with a casualty or condemnation, unless, in the case of most of the Mortgage Loans, an event of default has occurred and is continuing. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Relating to Enforceability of Yield Maintenance Charges, Prepayment Premiums or Defeasance Provisions” in the prospectus. In addition, certain of the Mortgage Loans permit the related borrower, after a total or partial casualty or partial condemnation, to prepay the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or, if the affected Mortgaged Property is part of a portfolio, a property-specific release price (after application of the related insurance proceeds or condemnation award to pay the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan), which may not be accompanied by any prepayment consideration.

Certain of the Mortgage Loans are secured in part by letters of credit and/or cash reserves that in each such case:

● will be released to the related borrower upon satisfaction by the related borrower of certain performance related conditions, which may include, in some cases, meeting debt service coverage ratio levels and/or satisfying leasing conditions; and

● if not so released, may, at the discretion of the lender, prior to loan maturity (or earlier loan default or loan acceleration), be drawn on and/or applied to prepay the subject Mortgage Loan if such performance related conditions are not satisfied within specified time periods.

See Annex A-1 and Annex A-3 for more information on reserves relating to the largest 15 Mortgage Loans.

Voluntary Prepayments

As of origination, the following prepayment restrictions and defeasance provisions applied to the Mortgage Loans:

● Forty-eight (48) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 87.9% of the Initial Pool Balance, each prohibit voluntary principal prepayments during a specified period of time (each, a “Lock-out Period“) but permit the related borrower (after an initial period of at least two years following the date of initial issuance of the Offered Certificates) for a specified period to defease the related Mortgage Loan by pledging non-callable United States Treasury obligations and other non-callable government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, as amended (“Government Securities“) that provide for payment on or prior to each Due Date through and including the maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable (or, in some cases, such earlier Due Date on which the Mortgage Loan becomes freely prepayable), of amounts at least equal to the amounts that would have been payable or outstanding, as applicable, on those dates under the terms of the subject Mortgage Loan and obtaining the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related mortgage, and thereafter such Mortgage Loan is freely prepayable.

● Two (2) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 5.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, each prohibit voluntary principal prepayments during a Lock-out Period, and following such Lock-out Period, for a specified period of time, permit the related borrower to make voluntary principal prepayments upon the payment of the greater of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, and thereafter such Mortgage Loan is freely prepayable.

203 

● One (1) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 3.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, prohibits voluntary principal prepayments during a Lock-out Period, and following such Lock-out Period, for a specified period of time, permits the related borrower to make voluntary principal prepayments upon the payment of the greater of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, and thereafter, for a specified period of time, permits the related borrower to defease the Mortgage Loan by the pledging of Government Securities that provide for payment on or prior to each Due Date through and including the maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date or make voluntary principal prepayments upon the payment of the greater of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, and thereafter such Mortgage Loan is freely prepayable.

● One (1) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 3.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, prohibits voluntary principal prepayments during a Lock-out Period, and following such Lock-out Period, for a specified period of time, permits the related borrower to defease the Mortgage Loan by the pledging of Government Securities that provide for payment on or prior to each Due Date through and including the maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date or make voluntary principal prepayments upon the payment of the greater of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, and thereafter such Mortgage Loan is freely prepayable.

Prepayment restrictions for each Mortgage Loan reflect the entire life of the Mortgage Loan. Some Mortgage Loans may be sufficiently seasoned that their Lock-out Periods have expired. See Annex A-1 to this prospectus, including the footnotes thereto, for individual prepayment restrictions and seasoning applicable to each Mortgage Loan.

The Mortgage Loans generally permit voluntary prepayment without payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or any Prepayment Premium during a limited “open period” immediately prior to and including the stated maturity date, as follows:

Prepayment Open Periods

Open Periods (Payments)	Number of Mortgage Loans	% of Initial Pool Balance
2-3	8	17.9%
4-6	37	64.0
7	7	18.1
Total	52	100.0%

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Relating to Enforceability of Yield Maintenance Charges, Prepayment Premiums or Defeasance Provisions”.

“Due-On-Sale” and “Due-On-Encumbrance” Provisions

The Mortgage Loans generally contain “due-on-sale” and “due-on-encumbrance” clauses, which in each case permits the holder of the Mortgage Loan to accelerate the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan if the related borrower sells or otherwise transfers or encumbers (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents) the related Mortgaged Property or a controlling interest in the borrower without the consent of the mortgagee (which, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld). Many of the Mortgage Loans place certain restrictions (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents) on the transfer and/or pledging of general partnership and managing member equity interests in a borrower such as specific percentage or control limitations. The terms of the mortgages generally permit, subject to certain limitations, affiliate, estate planning and family transfers, transfers at death, transfers of interest in a

204 

public company, the transfer or pledge of less than, or other than, a controlling portion of the partnership, members’ or other equity interests in a borrower, the transfer or pledge of passive equity interests in a borrower (such as limited partnership interests and non-managing member interests in a limited liability company) and transfers to persons specified in or satisfying qualification criteria set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents. Certain of the Mortgage Loans do not restrict the pledging of direct or indirect ownership interests in the related borrower, but do restrict the transfer of ownership interests in the related borrower by imposing a specific percentage, a control limitation or requiring the consent of the mortgagee to any such transfer. Generally, the Mortgage Loans do not prohibit (i) transfers of non-controlling interests so long as no change of control results or, (ii) with respect to Mortgage Loans to tenant-in-common borrowers, transfers to new tenant-in-common borrowers. Certain of the Mortgage Loans do not prohibit the pledge by direct or indirect owners of the related borrower of equity distributions that may be made from time to time by the borrower to its equity owners.

Additionally, certain of the Mortgage Loans provide that transfers of the Mortgaged Property are permitted if certain conditions are satisfied, which may include one or more of the following:

● no event of default has occurred;

● the proposed transferee is creditworthy and has sufficient experience in the ownership and management of properties similar to the Mortgaged Property;

● a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained from each of the Rating Agencies;

● the transferee has executed and delivered an assumption agreement evidencing its agreement to abide by the terms of the Mortgage Loan together with legal opinions and title insurance endorsements; and

● the assumption fee has been received (which assumption fee will be paid as described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses”, but will in no event be paid to the Certificateholders); however, certain of the Mortgage Loans allow the borrower to sell or otherwise transfer the related Mortgaged Property a limited number of times without paying an assumption fee.

Transfers resulting from the foreclosure of a pledge of the collateral for a mezzanine loan (if any) will also result in a permitted transfer. See “—Additional Indebtedness” below.

Defeasance

The terms of fifty (50) of the Mortgage Loans (the “Defeasance Loans“), representing approximately 94.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, permit the applicable borrower at any time (provided that no event of default exists) after a specified period (the “Defeasance Lock-Out Period“) to obtain a release of a Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage (a “Defeasance Option“) in connection with a defeasance. With respect to all of the Defeasance Loans, the Defeasance Lock-Out Period ends at least two years after the Closing Date.

Exercise of a Defeasance Option is also generally conditioned on, among other things, (a) the borrower providing the mortgagee with at least 30 days prior written notice of the date on which such defeasance will occur (such date, the “Release Date“), and (b) the borrower (A) paying on any Release Date (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (or, the related Whole Loan) up to and including the Release

205 

Date, (ii) all other sums (excluding scheduled interest or principal payments due following the Release Date), due under the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable) and under all other Mortgage Loan documents executed in connection with the Defeasance Option, (iii) an amount (the “Defeasance Deposit“) that will be sufficient to (x) purchase non-callable obligations of, or backed by the full faith and credit of, the United States of America or, in certain cases, other “government securities” (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and otherwise satisfying REMIC requirements for defeasance collateral), that provide payments (1) on or prior to, but as close as possible to, all successive scheduled due dates occurring during the period from the Release Date to the related maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date (or to the first day of the open period for such Mortgage Loan) (or Whole Loan, if applicable) and (2) in amounts equal to the scheduled payments due on such due dates under the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable), or under the defeased portion of the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable) in the case of a partial defeasance, including in the case of a Mortgage Loan with a balloon payment due at maturity or anticipated to be paid on the related Anticipated Repayment Date, the related balloon payment, and (y) pay any costs and expenses incurred in connection with the purchase of such government securities, and (B) delivering a security agreement granting the issuing entity a first priority lien on the Defeasance Deposit and, in certain cases, the government securities purchased with the Defeasance Deposit and an opinion of counsel to such effect. See “Risk Factors—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations May Assign Different Ratings to the Certificates; Ratings of the Certificates Reflect Only the Views of the Applicable Rating Agencies as of the Dates Such Ratings Were Issued; Ratings May Affect ERISA Eligibility; Ratings May Be Downgraded”. See also representation and warranty no. 34 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

For additional information on Mortgage Loans that permit partial defeasance, see “—Releases; Partial Releases” below.

In general, if consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents, a successor borrower established, designated or approved by the master servicer will assume the obligations of the related borrower exercising a Defeasance Option and the borrower will be relieved of its obligations under the Mortgage Loan. If a Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable) is partially defeased, if consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents, generally the related promissory note will be split and only the defeased portion of the borrower’s obligations will be transferred to the successor borrower.

Releases; Partial Releases

The Mortgage Loans described below permit the release of one or more of the Mortgaged Properties or a portion of a single Mortgaged Property in connection with a partial defeasance, a partial prepayment or a partial substitution, subject to the satisfaction of certain specified conditions, including the REMIC requirements. Additionally, certain Mortgage Loans permit the addition of real property to the Mortgage Loan collateral.

● With respect to the Walgreens - Ginsberg Portfolio Mortgage Loan (4.8%), following the prepayment lockout period, the Mortgage Loan documents permit partial releases of any of the 6 individual properties, subject to certain conditions, including: (i) no event of default shall have occurred or be continuing , (ii) the partial release shall be in connection with a bona fide sale to an unaffiliated third party, (iii) partial prepayment of the loan in an amount equal to greater of (a) 90% of the net sales proceeds, (b) 115% of the allocated amount for the release property, (c) an amount that would result in the post-release debt yield of the remaining property being no

206 

less than 8.4%, (d) an amount that would result in the post-release LTV for the remaining property being no more than the lesser of the LTV of the entire property prior to the release and 70.3%, and (e) the amount required to comply with REMIC requirements, (iv) payment of the yield maintenance premium, (v) a rating agency confirmation, and (vi) an opinion of counsel that the partial release satisfies REMIC requirements.

● With respect to the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan (3.6%), the Mortgage Loan documents permit partial releases of an individual property either in connection with a partial defeasance or a partial prepayment with a yield maintenance-based premium (provided that the same method used for the first partial release shall also be used for subsequent partial release) subject to certain conditions, including: (a) with respect to a partial release effected in connection with partial defeasance, (i) such partial release is following the defeasance lockout period, and (ii) a partial defeasance of a portion of the loan in an amount equal to greater of (1) (A) if less than 10% of the original principal balance has been prepaid after giving effect to the partial release, 105% of the allocated loan amount, (B) if more than 10% but less than or equal to 20% of the original principal balance has been prepaid after giving effect to the partial release, 110% of the allocated loan amount, and (C) thereafter, 115% of the allocated loan amount (provided, that, if the prepayment in connection with a partial release shall cause the aggregate amount of the loan which has been prepaid to exceed either threshold in clause (A) or (B), then the release price for that such partial release shall be the applicable allocated loan amount multiplied by the pro rata weighed average of the release price premiums listed in clauses (A) or (B)) (the “Release Price“), or (2) an amount that would result in the post-release debt yield for the remaining property being not less than greater of (1) the pre-release debt yield and (2) 10.81% (the “Release Debt Yield“); (b) with respect to a partial release effected in connection with a partial prepayment, (i) such partial release is after September 11, 2019, (ii) payment of the Release Price together with the applicable yield maintenance premium, and (iii) the post-release debt yield for the remaining property is not less than the Release Debt Yield (provided, that, the borrower may satisfy the Release Debt Yield requirement by either (1) prepaying such amount needed to achieve the Release Debt Yield together with the applicable yield maintenance premium or (2) depositing cash into the cash collateral reserve or delivering a letter of credit in an amount that if applied as a prepayment would result in the Release Debt Yield being achieved); (c) with respect to any partial release, no event of default; and (d) with respect to any partial release, the individual property being released will be conveyed either to (i) a bona fide third party, or (ii) a borrower affiliate if such conveyance is done on arms’ length terms and the borrower delivers to the lender a new non-consolidation opinion, among other things. The allocated loan amount for each property is subject to pro rata reduction to account for previous prepayments under the loan, including in connection with prior partial releases and partial defeasances. Notwithstanding the foregoing conditions, in the event there is a non-monetary event of default that relates to a specific individual property (the “Defaulted Property“) and the borrower has demonstrated that the borrower and the operating lessee have exercised commercially reasonable efforts to cure and such event of default is not the result or willful misconduct or bad faith actions, then the borrower will be permitted to obtain a partial release of such Defaulted Property subject to all of the foregoing conditions except the requirements that (i) such partial release occur after the defeasance lockout period or prepayment lockout period in connection with a partial prepayment (not a partial defeasance), (ii) no event of default but only so long as the only continuing event of default shall be

207 

cured by virtue of the partial release, and (iii) if the individual property is being conveyed to a borrower affiliate that it be on arms’ length terms.

● With respect to the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan (3.4%), the borrower has the right to release from the lien of the Mortgage Loan documents: (1) that certain parcel that is currently occupied by Cabela’s, the second largest tenant at the Mortgaged Property, and/or that certain parcel that is currently occupied by Cinemark, the third largest tenant at the Mortgaged Property (each, an “Outlot Parcel“), to a transferee who is not an affiliate of the borrower that is either a national tenant or approved by the lender in its reasonable discretion, so long as the conditions under the Mortgage Loan documents are satisfied, including: (i) the borrower provides the lender with ten (10) days’ written notice, (ii) at the request of the lender, the borrower delivers a REMIC opinion, (iii) the borrower provides the lender with a rating agency confirmation, (iv) the borrower makes a partial prepayment of the Mortgage Loan in an amount equal to the greatest of (a) 125% of the allocated loan amount (i.e., $8,400,000 with respect to the Cabela’s parcel and $6,600,000 with respect to the Cinemark parcel) for such Outlot Parcel, (b) the net sales proceeds received by the borrower with respect to such transfer, and (c) any “qualified amount” necessary to comply with any applicable REMIC requirements, which partial prepayment, if made prior six (6) months before the maturity date of the Mortgage Loan, will be accompanied by a payment of the yield maintenance premium; provided, however, in lieu of making any such prepayment, at the borrower’s election prior to the release of such Outlot Parcel, the borrower may either (A) deposit cash with the lender in the amount of such prepayment (exclusive of the yield maintenance premium) as additional reserve funds, which the lender will hold in an additional reserve account, or (B) deliver to the lender a letter of credit in the amount of such prepayment (exclusive of the yield maintenance premium), and (v) the loan-to-value ratio must be less than or equal to 125% immediately after the release of the Outlot Parcel, provided that the borrower may prepay the “qualified amount’ in order to meet the loan-to-value ratio (with the payment of a yield maintenance premium); (2) certain vacant, non-income producing and unimproved portions of the Mortgaged Property (the “Release Parcel“), so long as the conditions under the Mortgage Loan documents are satisfied, including: (i) the borrower provides the lender with ten (10) days’ written notice, (ii) at the request of the lender, the borrower delivers a REMIC opinion, and (iii) the loan-to-value ratio immediately after the release of the Release Parcel must be less than or equal to 125%, provided that the borrower may prepay the “qualified amount” in order to meet this loan-to-value ratio; and (3) the portion of the Mortgaged Property occupied by Target (the “Target Parcel“), if Target, the largest tenant at the Mortgaged Property, exercises its purchase option, provided the conditions under the Mortgage Loan documents are satisfied, including: (i) the loan-to-value ratio after the release of the Target Parcel must be less than or equal to 125% and the borrower must prepay the qualified amount (with the payment of a yield maintenance premium) in order to meet the foregoing loan-to-value ratio, and (ii) the borrower agrees that the purchase option will not be exercised in the event that (a) borrower or a controlling affiliate of the borrower acquires Target’s interests under its lease and (b) such option had not theretofore been exercised in accordance with the Target lease.

● With respect to the Prudential - Digital Realty Portfolio Mortgage Loan (3.0%), the Mortgage Loan documents permit the release of any of the related Mortgaged Properties; provided that, among other things, (a) no event of default has occurred and is continuing; (b) the borrower either partially defeases or partially prepays (along with any applicable yield maintenance premium) the Mortgage Loan in an

208 

amount equal to 110% of the allocated loan amount of the Mortgaged Property being released; (c) the net cash flow debt yield for the remaining Mortgaged Properties immediately following the release is equal to or greater than the greater of (i) 11.0% and (ii) the net cash flow debt yield immediately prior to the release; provided that the borrower has the right to partially defease or prepay the Mortgage Loan further in order to meet such debt yield test; (d) a legal opinion covering compliance in all respects with all laws, rules and regulations governing REMICs has been delivered; and (e) in connection with a partial defeasance, Rating Agency Confirmation is received. The allocated loan amount for each of the related Mortgaged Properties is subject to pro rata reduction to account for previous prepayments and partial defeasances.

● With respect to the California Mixed Use Portfolio Mortgage Loan (3.0%), after the expiration of the related lockout period, the borrowers are permitted to obtain the release of the Absolute Self Storage Mortgaged Property (the “Release Property“) after the release and prior to the open period start date, provided that, among other conditions: (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) payment of principal and interest due and payable on the Mortgage Loan, including all escrow, closing, recording legal, appraisal, rating agency and other out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred by the lender; (iii) execution of all necessary documents to modify the loan agreement; (iv) an opinion of counsel; (v) rating agency confirmation; (vi) the Release Property will be conveyed either to a bona fide third party as part of a bona fide arms-length transaction; (vii) a partial defeasance of the loan in an amount equal to the greater of (A) $6,600,000 (based on 120% of the allocated loan amount for the Release Property) and (B) the net sales proceeds of the Release Property; (viii) after giving effect to the release, a debt service coverage ratio equal to or greater than (A) the debt service coverage ratio in effect immediately prior to release, and (B) the debt service coverage ratio for the loan as of the origination date; (ix) after giving effect to the release, an loan to value ratio no greater than the lesser of (A) the loan to value ratio in effect immediately prior to release, and (B) the loan to value ratio as of the origination date; and (x) satisfaction of customary REMIC requirements.

209 

● With respect to the Aventura Mall Mortgage Loan (2.4%), the borrower, without the consent of the lender, servicer, investor, the rating agencies or any other person, may (i) make transfers of immaterial or non-income producing portions of the property to any federal, state or local government or any political subdivision thereof in connection with takings or condemnations of any portion of the Mortgaged Property for dedication or public use, (ii) make transfers of non-income producing portions of the Mortgaged Property (including, without limitation, certain outparcels of the property’s parking lot (the “Parking Lot Outparcels“) and portions of the Mortgaged Property’s “ring road”) to third parties or affiliates of the borrower, and (iii) dedicate portions of the Mortgaged Property or grant easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way in the ordinary course of business for traffic circulation, ingress, egress, parking, access, utilities lines or for other similar purposes; provided, with respect to any of the transfers in (ii) through (iii) above, no transfer, conveyance or other encumbrance may result in a material adverse effect based upon an officer’s certificate delivered to the lender, and, further provided that, with respect to the transfers in (ii) above, the borrower will be required to deliver to the lender, among other things, (A) legal opinions, title insurance or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the lender to the effect that the transferred portion of the Mortgaged Property constitutes or will constitute one or more complete tax lots (except with respect to the Parking Lot Outparcels, so long as an application therefor is filed for such separate tax lots no later than 60 days from the date of such transfer) and, if applicable, has been legally subdivided and after giving effect to such transfer the remaining portion of the property complies with applicable zoning, parking and other legal requirements, (B) evidence reasonably satisfactory to the lender that such transfer will not eliminate or materially interfere with the ingress and egress required for the operation and use of or materially interfere with the operation and use of the remaining portion of the Mortgaged Property by the borrower or any of the tenants unless (with respect to such ingress and egress) the borrower has entered into reciprocal easement to provide for an additional or substitute means of ingress or egress, (C) a certification that after such transfer, the borrower continues to be a special purpose entity, and (D) a REMIC opinion.

Many of the Mortgage Loans provide for other escrows and reserves, including, in certain cases, reserves for debt service, operating expenses, vacancies at the related Mortgaged Property and other shortfalls or reserves to be released under circumstances described in the related Mortgage Loan documents.

See the footnotes to Annex A-1 for more information regarding escrows under the Mortgage Loan documents.

Mortgaged Property Accounts

Cash Management. The Mortgage Loan documents prescribe the manner in which the related borrowers are permitted to collect rents from tenants at each Mortgaged Property. The following table sets forth the account mechanics prescribed for the Mortgage Loans:

Cash Management Types

Type of Lockbox	Mortgage Loans	Aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of Mortgage Loans		Approx. % of Initial Pool Balance (%)
Hard/Springing Cash Management	17	$	329,517,107	39.5%
Springing	19		285,310,337	34.2
Soft/Springing Cash Management	6		120,881,500	14.5
None	8		63,525,000	7.6
Soft/Upfront Cash Management	2		34,700,000	4.2
Total:	52	$	833,933,944	100.0%

The following is a description of the types of cash management provisions to which the borrowers under the Mortgage Loans are subject:

● Hard/Upfront Cash Management. The related borrower is required to instruct the tenants and other payors (including any third party property managers) to pay all rents and other revenue directly to a lockbox account controlled by the applicable servicer on behalf of the issuing entity. Funds are then swept into a cash management account controlled by the applicable servicer on behalf of the issuing entity and then applied by the applicable servicer in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents. This typically includes the payment of debt service and, in some cases, expenses at the related Mortgaged Property. Generally, excess funds may then be remitted to the related borrower.

● Hard/Springing Cash Management. The related borrower is required to instruct the tenants and other payors (including any third party property managers) to pay all rents and other revenue directly to a lockbox account controlled by the applicable servicer on behalf of the issuing entity. Until the occurrence of a “trigger” event, which typically includes an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents, such funds are forwarded to an account controlled by the related borrower or are otherwise made available to the related borrower. From and after the occurrence of such a “trigger” event, only the portion of such funds remaining after the payment of current debt service, the funding of reserves and, in some cases, expenses at the related Mortgaged Property are to be forwarded or otherwise made available to the related borrower or, in some cases, maintained in an account controlled by the

214 

servicer as additional collateral for the loan until the “trigger” event ends or terminates in accordance with the loan documentation.

● Soft/Upfront Cash Management. Revenue from the related Mortgaged Property is generally paid by the tenants and other payors to the related borrower or the property manager. The related borrower or property manager, as applicable, then forwards such funds to a lockbox account controlled by the applicable servicer on behalf of the issuing entity. Funds are then swept into a cash management account controlled by the applicable servicer on behalf of the issuing entity and applied by the servicer in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents. This typically includes the payment of debt service and, in some cases, expenses at the related Mortgaged Property. Generally, excess funds may then be remitted to the related borrower.

● Soft/Springing Cash Management. Revenue from the related Mortgaged Property is generally paid by the tenants and other payors (including any third party property managers) to the related borrower or the property manager. The related borrower or property manager, as applicable, then forwards such funds to a lockbox account controlled by the applicable servicer on behalf of the issuing entity. Until the occurrence of a “trigger” event, which typically includes an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents, such funds are forwarded to an account controlled by the related borrower or are otherwise made available to the related borrower. In some cases, upon the occurrence of such a “trigger” event, the Mortgage Loan documents will require the related borrower to instruct tenants and/or other payors to pay directly into an account controlled by the applicable servicer on behalf of the issuing entity. All funds held in such lockbox account controlled by the applicable servicer following such “trigger” event will be applied by the applicable servicer in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents. From and after the occurrence of such a trigger event, only the portion of such funds remaining after the payment of current debt service and, in some cases, expenses at the related Mortgaged Property are to be forwarded or otherwise made available to the related borrower.

● Springing. A lockbox account is established at origination or upon the occurrence of certain “trigger” events. Revenue from the related Mortgaged Property is generally paid by the tenants and other payors to the related borrower or property manager. The Mortgage Loan documents provide that, upon the occurrence of a “trigger” event, which typically includes an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents, the related borrower would be required to instruct tenants to pay directly into such lockbox account or, if tenants are directed to pay to the related borrower or the property manager, the related borrower or property manager, as applicable, would then forward such funds to a lockbox account controlled by the applicable servicer on behalf of the issuing entity. Funds are then swept into a cash management account controlled by the servicer on behalf of the issuing entity and applied by the servicer in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents. This typically includes the payment of debt service and, in some cases, expenses at the related Mortgaged Property. Excess funds may then be remitted to the related borrower.

● None. Revenue from the related Mortgaged Property is paid to the related borrower and is not subject to a lockbox account as of the Closing Date, and no lockbox account is required to be established during the term of the related Mortgage Loan.

In connection with any hard lockbox cash management, income deposited directly into the related lockbox account may not include amounts paid in cash and/or checks that are

215 

paid directly to the related property manager, notwithstanding requirements to the contrary. Furthermore, with respect to certain multifamily and hospitality properties considered to have a hard lockbox, cash, checks and “over-the-counter” receipts may be deposited into the lockbox account by the property manager. Mortgage Loans whose terms call for the establishment of a lockbox account require that the amounts paid to the property manager will be deposited into the applicable lockbox account on a regular basis. Lockbox accounts will not be assets of the issuing entity. See the footnotes to Annex A-1 for more information regarding lockbox provisions for the Mortgage Loans.

Additional Indebtedness

General

The Mortgage Loans generally prohibit borrowers from incurring any additional debt secured by their Mortgaged Property without the consent of the lender. However:

● substantially all of the Mortgage Loans permit the related borrower to incur limited indebtedness in the ordinary course of business that is not secured by the related Mortgaged Property;

● the borrowers under certain of the Mortgage Loans have incurred and/or may incur in the future unsecured debt other than in the ordinary course of business;

● any borrower that is not required pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents to meet single-purpose entity criteria may not be restricted from incurring unsecured debt or mezzanine debt;

217 

● the terms of certain Mortgage Loans permit the borrowers to post letters of credit and/or surety bonds for the benefit of the mortgagee under the Mortgage Loans, which may constitute a contingent reimbursement obligation of the related borrower or an affiliate. The issuing bank or surety will not typically agree to subordination and standstill protection benefiting the mortgagee;

● although the Mortgage Loans generally place certain restrictions on incurring mezzanine debt by the pledging of general partnership and managing member equity interests in a borrower, such as specific percentage or control limitations, the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents generally permit, subject to certain limitations, the pledge of the limited partnership or non-managing membership equity interests in a borrower or less than a controlling interest of any other equity interests in a borrower; and

● certain of the Mortgage Loans do not restrict the pledging of ownership interests in the borrower, but do restrict the transfer of ownership interests in a borrower by imposing limitations on transfer of control or a specific percentage of ownership interests.

Whole Loans

Certain Mortgage Loans are subject to the rights of a related Companion Holder, as further described in “—The Whole Loans” below.

Mezzanine Indebtedness

Although the Mortgage Loans generally place certain restrictions on incurring mezzanine debt by the pledging of general partnership and managing member equity interests in a borrower, such as specific percentage or control limitations, the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents generally permit, subject to certain limitations, the pledge of less than a controlling portion of the equity interests in a borrower or the pledge of limited partnership or non-managing membership equity interests in a borrower. Certain Mortgage Loans described below permit the incurrence of mezzanine debt subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including a certain maximum combined loan-to-value ratio and/or a minimum combined debt service coverage ratio. Also, certain of the Mortgage Loans do not restrict the pledging of ownership interests in the related borrower, but do restrict the transfer of ownership interests in a borrower by imposing limitations on transfer of control or a specific percentage of ownership interests. In addition, in general, a borrower (or its direct or indirect owners) that does not meet single-purpose entity criteria may not be restricted in any way from incurring mezzanine debt.

⁽¹⁾ Calculated including the mezzanine debt and any subordinate debt. Cut-off Date Wtd. Avg. Total Debt Interest Rate is based on the interest rate of the related Mortgage Loan, any Companion Loans and the related mezzanine loan as of the Cut-off Date, and the Cut-off Date Total Debt Underwritten NCF DSCR is calculated based on such initial interest rates.

Each of the mezzanine loans related to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified in the table above is subject to an intercreditor agreement between the holder of the related mezzanine loan and the related lender under the related Mortgage Loan that, in each case, sets forth the relative priorities between the related Mortgage Loan and the related mezzanine loan. Each intercreditor agreement provides, among other things, generally that (a) all payments due under the related mezzanine loan are subordinate after an event of default (taking into account the cure rights exercised by the mezzanine lender) under the related Mortgage Loan to any and all payments required to be made under the related Mortgage Loan (except for any payments from funds other than the mortgaged property or proceeds of any enforcement upon the mezzanine loan collateral and any mezzanine loan guarantees), (b) so long as there is no event of default under the related Mortgage Loan (taking into account the cure rights exercised by the mezzanine lender), the related mezzanine lender may accept payments on and prepayments of the related mezzanine loan, (c) the related mezzanine lender will have certain rights to receive notice of and cure defaults under the related Mortgage Loan prior to any acceleration or enforcement of the related Mortgage Loan, (d) the related mezzanine lender may amend or modify the related mezzanine loan in certain respects without the consent of the related mortgage lender, and the mortgage lender must obtain the mezzanine lender’s consent to amend or modify the Mortgage Loan in certain respects, (e) upon the occurrence of an event of default under the related mezzanine loan documents, the related mezzanine lender may foreclose upon the membership interests in the related Mortgage Loan borrower, which could result in a change of control with respect to the related Mortgage Loan borrower and a change in the management of the related Mortgaged Properties, and (f) if the related Mortgage Loan is accelerated or, in some cases, becomes specially serviced or if a monetary or material non-monetary default occurs and continues for a specified period of time under the related Mortgage Loan or if the Mortgage Loan borrower becomes a debtor in a bankruptcy or if the related Mortgage Loan lender exercises any enforcement action under the related Mortgage Loan documents with respect to the related Mortgage Loan borrower or the related Mortgaged Properties, the related mezzanine lender has the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan, in whole but not in part, for a price generally equal to the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, together with all accrued interest and other amounts due thereon, plus any advances made by the related Mortgage Loan lender or its servicer and any interest thereon plus, subject to certain limitations, any Liquidation Fees and Special Servicing Fees payable under the PSA, but generally excluding any late charges, default interest, exit fees, special maintenance charges payable in connection with a prepayment or Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums. The related mezzanine loan agreement provides, among other things, that an event of

219 

default under the related Mortgage Loan will be an event of default under the mezzanine loan.

The Mortgage Loans generally place certain restrictions on the transfer and/or pledging of general partnership and managing member equity interests in a borrower such as specific percentage or control limitations as described under “—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—’Due-On-Sale’ and ‘Due-On-Encumbrance’ Provisions” above.

Certain of the Mortgage Loans do not prohibit the pledge by direct or indirect owners of the related borrower of equity distributions that may be made from time to time by the borrower to its equity owners.

With respect to the Mortgage Loans listed in the following chart, the direct and indirect equity owners of the borrower are permitted to incur future mezzanine debt, subject to the satisfaction of conditions contained in the related Mortgage Loan documents, including, among other things, a combined maximum loan-to-value ratio, a combined minimum debt service coverage ratio and/or a combined minimum debt yield, as listed in the following chart and determined in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents:

Mortgage Loan Name	Mortgage Loan Cut-off Date Balance	Maximum Principal Amount Permitted (If Specified)(1)	Combined Maximum LTV Ratio(2)	Combined Minimum DSCR(2)	Combined Minimum Debt Yield(2)	Intercreditor Agreement Required	Mortgage Lender Allowed to Require Rating Agency Confirmation(3)
Riverworks	$      38,629,000	N/A	70.0%	1.50x(4)	N/A	Yes	Yes
Christiana Mall	$      28,000,000	N/A	50.3%	2.03x	N/A	Yes	Yes

⁽¹⁾ Indicates the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and the related mezzanine loan (if any) that is specifically stated in the Mortgage Loan documents and does not take account of any restrictions that may be imposed at any time by operation of any debt yield, debt service coverage ratio or loan-to-value ratio conditions.

⁽²⁾ Debt service coverage ratios, loan-to-value ratios and debt yields are to be calculated in accordance with definitions set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents. Except as otherwise noted in connection with a Mortgage Loan, the determination of the loan-to-value ratio must be, or may be required by the lender to be, based on a recent appraisal.

⁽³⁾ Indicates whether the conditions to the financing include (a) delivery of Rating Agency Confirmation that the proposed financing will not, in and of itself, result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current rating assigned to any class of certificates and/or (b) acceptability of any related intercreditor or mezzanine loan documents to the Rating Agencies.

⁽⁴⁾ Combined minimum DSCR is applicable only if the mezzanine loan is a floating rate loan and in such event the borrower is required to maintain an interest rate cap which will cause the aggregate debt service coverage to be not less than the indicated threshold.

The specific rights of the related mezzanine lender with respect to any such future mezzanine loan will be specified in the related intercreditor agreement and may include cure rights and a default-related repurchase option. The intercreditor agreement required to be entered into in connection with any future mezzanine loan will either be substantially in the form attached to the related loan agreement or be subject to receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation or to the related lender’s approval. The direct and/or indirect owners of a borrower under a Mortgage Loan are also generally permitted to pledge their interest in such borrower as security for a mezzanine loan in circumstances where the ultimate transfer of such interest to the mezzanine lender would be a permitted transfer under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

Generally, upon a default under a mezzanine loan, subject to the terms of any applicable intercreditor or subordination agreement, the holder of the mezzanine loan would be entitled to foreclose upon the equity in the related borrower, which has been pledged to secure payment of such debt. Although this transfer of equity may not trigger the due-on-sale clause under the related Mortgage Loan, it could cause a change in control of the borrower and/or cause the obligor under the mezzanine loan to file for bankruptcy, which

220 

could negatively affect the operation of the related Mortgaged Property and the related borrower’s ability to make payments on the related Mortgage Loan in a timely manner.

The Mortgage Loans generally permit a pledge of the same direct and indirect ownership interests in any borrower that could be transferred without the lender consent. See “—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—’Due-on-Sale’ and ‘Due-on-Encumbrance’ Provisions” above.

Some of the Mortgage Loans permit certain affiliates of the related borrower to pledge their indirect ownership interests in the borrower including, but not limited to, pledges to an institutional lender providing a corporate line of credit or corporate credit facility as collateral for such corporate line of credit or corporate credit facility. In connection with those pledges, the Mortgage Loan documents for such Mortgage Loans may: (i) contain limitations on the amounts that such collateral may secure and prohibit foreclosure of such pledges unless such foreclosure would represent a transfer otherwise permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents but do not prohibit a change in control in the event of a permitted foreclosure; or (ii) require that such financing be secured by at least a certain number of assets other than such ownership interests in the related borrower. For example, with respect to the 15 largest Mortgage Loans presented on Annex A-3 to this prospectus, we note the following:

● With respect to the Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio (3.0%), the Mortgage Loan documents permit the transfer of an equity interest in a borrower to a new third-party member in excess of 49% without the consent of the lender, provided that (i) a rating agency confirmation is provided to the lender, (ii) Prudential Financial, Inc., PGIM, Inc., The Prudential Insurance Company of America (collectively, “Prudential“) or Digital Realty Trust, L.P. (“Digital“), or an affiliate thereof, retains the management and control of each borrower and Digital, or, in the event that Prudential obtains control of such borrower, one or more substitute third-party provided by Prudential, having a net worth not less than $200,000,000 individually or in the aggregate, (iii) a new non-consolidation opinion is delivered to the lender and (iv) the transfer conditions, as specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, are satisfied. Such transfer will not release the guarantor from liability, except to the extent that the obligations of the transferring party are assumed by one of more substitute parties pursuant to an assumption agreement acceptable to the lender.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Other Financings or Ability to Incur Other Indebtedness Entails Risk”.

Other Secured Indebtedness

The borrowers under some of the Mortgage Loans have incurred or are permitted to incur other secured subordinate debt subject to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan document or otherwise expressly permitted by applicable law. For example:

● With respect to the Aventura Mall Mortgage Loan (2.4%), the Mortgage Loan documents permit borrower to enter into any PACE loan or any other indebtedness which is incurred for improvements to the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of increasing energy efficiency, increasing use of renewable energy resources, resource conservation or any combination of the foregoing and is repaid through multi-year assessments against the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000 subject to Rating Agency Confirmation and the lender’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The lender has not received any request for approving PACE debt. Failure to

221 

make timely PACE loan payments could give rise to tax liens that are superior to the lien of the subject mortgage.

Four (4) of the Mortgaged Properties, representing approximately 12.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, are located in Florida. Florida’s Property Assessed Clean Energy (“PACE“) statute renders loan document provisions prohibiting PACE loans unenforceable.

Preferred Equity

The borrowers or sponsors of certain Mortgage Loans may have issued preferred equity. Because preferred equity often provides for a higher rate of return to be paid to the holders of such preferred equity, preferred equity in some respects functions like mezzanine indebtedness, and reduces a principal’s economic stake in the related Mortgaged Property, reduces cash flow on the borrower’s Mortgaged Property after the payment of debt service and payments on the preferred equity and may increase the likelihood that the owner of a borrower will permit the value or income-producing potential of a Mortgaged Property to fall and may create a greater risk that a borrower will default on the Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property whose value or income is relatively weak.

Other Unsecured Indebtedness

The borrowers under some of the Mortgage Loans have incurred or are permitted to incur unsecured subordinate debt (in addition to trade payables, equipment financing and other debt incurred in the ordinary course) subject to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents.

Prospective investors should assume that all or substantially all of the Mortgage Loans permit their borrowers to incur a limited amount (generally in an amount not more than 5% of the original Mortgage Loan balance or an amount otherwise normal and reasonable under the circumstances) of trade payables, equipment financing and/or other unsecured indebtedness in the ordinary course of business or an unsecured credit line to be used for working capital purposes. In addition, certain of the Mortgage Loans allow the related borrower to receive unsecured loans from equity owners, provided that such loans are subject to and subordinate to the applicable Mortgage Loan.

Certain risks relating to additional debt are described in “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Other Financings or Ability to Incur Other Indebtedness Entails Risk”.

If a control appraisal period under the related Intercreditor Agreement is in effect, then Note A-1-1 will be the Control Note. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loan”.

The Serviced Whole Loans

The Serviced Whole Loans will be serviced pursuant to the PSA in accordance with the terms of the PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement. None of the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee will be required to make a monthly payment advance on any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, but the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, will be required to (and the special servicer, at its option in emergency situations, may) make Servicing Advances on the Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans unless such advancing party (or, even if it is not the advancing party, the special servicer) determines that such a Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Intercreditor Agreement

The Intercreditor Agreement related to each Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan provides that:

● The promissory notes comprising such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan (and consequently, the related Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) are of equal priority with each other and none of such promissory notes (or mortgage loans) will have priority or preference over any other such promissory note (or mortgage loan).

● All payments, proceeds and other recoveries on the Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan will be applied to the promissory notes comprising such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan on a pro rata and pari passu basis (subject, in each case, to (a) the allocation of certain amounts to escrows and reserves, certain

228 

repairs or restorations or payments to the applicable borrower required by the Mortgage Loan documents and (b) certain payment and reimbursement rights of the parties to the PSA, in accordance with the terms of the PSA).

● The transfer of up to 49% of the beneficial interest of a promissory note comprising the Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan is generally permitted. The transfer of more than 49% of the beneficial interest of any such promissory note is generally prohibited unless (i) the transferee is a large institutional lender or investment fund (other than a related borrower or an affiliate thereof) that satisfies minimum net worth and/or experience requirements or certain securitization vehicles that satisfy certain ratings and other requirements or (ii)(a) each non-transferring holder has consented to such transfer (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld), and (b) if any such non-transferring holder’s interest in the related Serviced Whole Loan is held in a securitization, a rating agency communication is provided to each applicable rating agency (or, in certain cases, a rating agency confirmation is obtained from each applicable rating agency). The foregoing restrictions do not apply to a sale of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans in accordance with the terms of the PSA.

With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, certain costs and expenses (such as a pro rata share of a Servicing Advance) allocable to a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan may be paid or reimbursed out of payments and other collections on the Mortgage Pool, subject to the Trust’s right to reimbursement from future payments and other collections on such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or from general collections with respect to any securitization of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

Control Rights with respect to Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans

With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, the related Control Note will be included in the Trust, and the Directing Certificateholder will have certain consent rights (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) and consultation rights (after the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) with respect to such Mortgage Loan as described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder”.

Certain Rights of each Non-Controlling Holder

With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, the holder of any related Non-Control Note (or if such Non-Control Note has been securitized, the directing certificateholder with respect to such securitization or other designated party under the related pooling and servicing agreement) will be entitled to certain consultation rights described below; provided, that if such party or its representative is (or is an affiliate of) the related borrower or if all or a specified portion of the subject Non-Control Note is held by the borrower or an affiliate thereof, such party will not be entitled to exercise the right of a Non-Controlling Holder, and/or there will be deemed to be no such Non-Controlling Holder under the related Intercreditor Agreement with respect to such Non-Control Note.

The special servicer will be required (i) to provide to each Non-Controlling Holder copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Directing Certificateholder with respect to the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan or any proposed action to be taken in respect of a Major Decision with respect to such Serviced Pari Passu

229 

Whole Loan (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Directing Certificateholder due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) to use reasonable efforts to consult each Non-Controlling Holder on a strictly non-binding basis (to the extent such party requests consultation after having received the aforementioned notices, information and reports) with respect to any such recommended actions by the special servicer or any proposed action to be taken by such special servicer in respect of such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan that constitutes a Major Decision.

Such consultation right will expire ten (10) business days after the delivery to such Non-Controlling Holder of written notice of a proposed action (together with copies of the notices, information and reports required to be delivered thereto) (unless the special servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) business day period will be deemed to begin anew). In no event will the special servicer be obligated to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any Non-Controlling Holder (or its representative). In addition, if the special servicer determines that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the holders of the promissory notes comprising a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, it may take, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, any action constituting a Major Decision with respect to such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan or any action set forth in any applicable Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) business day period.

In addition to the aforementioned consultation right, each Non-Controlling Holder will have the right to annual meetings (which may be held telephonically) with the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan are discussed.

If a Servicer Termination Event has occurred with respect to the special servicer that affects a Non-Controlling Holder, such holder will have the right to direct the trustee to terminate the special servicer solely with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, other than with respect to any rights such special servicer may have as a Certificateholder, entitlements to amounts payable to such special servicer at the time of termination, entitlements to indemnification amounts and any other entitlements of the terminated party that survive the termination.

Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loan

If any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, and if the special servicer decides to sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, such special servicer will be required to sell such Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and each related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan together as interests evidencing one whole loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such special servicer will not be permitted to sell a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan without the consent of each Non-Controlling Holder unless it has delivered to such holder (a) at least fifteen (15) business days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by such special servicer, a copy of the most recent appraisal and certain other supplementary documents (if requested by such holder), and (c) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Directing Certificateholder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and documents being provided to offerors or otherwise approved by the master servicer or special servicer in connection with the proposed sale.

The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans

Each Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan will be serviced pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA in accordance with the terms of such Non-Serviced PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement.

Monthly payment advances on each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be made by the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, to the extent provided under the PSA. None of the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee will be obligated to make servicing advances with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” for a description of the servicing terms of the Non-Serviced PSAs.

Intercreditor Agreement

The Intercreditor Agreement related to each Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan provides that:

● The promissory notes comprising such Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan (and consequently, the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) are of equal priority with each other and none of such promissory notes (or mortgage loans) will have priority or preference over any other such promissory note (or mortgage loan).

● All payments, proceeds and other recoveries on the Non-Serviced Whole Loan will be applied to the promissory notes comprising such Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan on a pro rata and pari passu basis (subject, in each case, to (a) the allocation of certain amounts to escrows and reserves required by the Mortgage Loan documents and (b) certain payment and reimbursement rights of the parties to the related Non-Serviced PSA, in accordance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA).

● The transfer of up to 49% of the beneficial interest of a promissory note comprising the Non-Serviced Whole Loan is generally permitted. The transfer of more than 49% of the beneficial interest of any such promissory note is generally prohibited unless (i) the transferee is a large institutional lender or investment fund (other than a related borrower or an affiliate thereof) that satisfies minimum net worth and/or experience requirements or certain securitization vehicles that satisfy certain ratings and other requirements or (ii)(a) each non-transferring holder has consented to such transfer (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld), and (b) if any such non-transferring holder’s interest in the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan is held in a securitization, a rating agency communication is provided to each applicable rating agency (or, in certain cases, a rating agency confirmation is obtained from each applicable rating agency). The foregoing restrictions do not apply to a sale of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan together with

231 

the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans in accordance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA.

Any losses, liabilities, claims, costs and expenses incurred in connection with a Non-Serviced Whole Loan that are not otherwise paid out of collections on such Whole Loan may, to the extent allocable to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, be payable or reimbursable out of general collections on the mortgage pool for this securitization.

Control Rights

The related Controlling Holder (or a designated representative) will be entitled (i) to direct the servicing of such Whole Loan in a manner that is substantially similar to the rights of the directing certificateholder for this securitization, (ii) to consent to certain servicing decisions in respect of such Whole Loan and actions set forth in a related asset status report and (iii) to replace the special servicer with respect to such Whole Loan with or without cause; provided, that with respect to each Non-Serviced Whole Loan, if such holder (or its designated representative) is (or is an affiliate of) the related borrower or if all or a specified portion of the subject Control Note is held by the borrower or an affiliate thereof, such party will not be entitled to exercise the rights of the “Controlling Holder”, and/or there will be deemed to be no such “Controlling Holder” under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

Certain Rights of each Non-Controlling Holder

With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of any related Non-Control Note (or if such Non-Control Note has been securitized, the directing certificateholder with respect to such securitization (or other designated party under the related pooling and servicing agreement) will be entitled to certain consent and consultation rights described below; provided, that if such party or its representative is (or is an affiliate of) the related borrower or if all or a specified portion of the subject Non-Control Note is held by the borrower or an affiliate thereof, such party will not be entitled to exercise the rights of a Non-Controlling Holder, and/or there will be deemed to be no “Non-Controlling Holder” with respect to such Non-Control Note under the related Intercreditor Agreement. With respect to each Non-Serviced Whole Loan, one or more related Non-Control Notes will be included in the Trust, and the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, or the special servicer (consistent with the Servicing Standard), following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, will be entitled to exercise the consultation rights described below.

With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, will be required (i) to provide to each Non-Controlling Holder copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder under the related Non-Serviced PSA with respect to the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an asset status report relating to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any proposed action to be taken in respect of a major decision under the related Non-Serviced PSA with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder due to the occurrence and continuance of a “control termination event” or a “consultation termination event” (or analogous concepts) under such Non-Serviced PSA) and (ii) to consult (or to use reasonable efforts to consult) each Non-Controlling Holder on a strictly non-binding basis (to the extent

232 

such party requests consultation after having received the aforementioned notices, information and reports) with respect to any such recommended actions by such Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable, or any proposed action to be taken by such Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable, in respect of the applicable major decision.

Such consultation right will generally expire ten (10) business days after the delivery to such Non-Controlling Holder of written notice of a proposed action (together with copies of the notices, information and reports required to be delivered thereto), whether or not such Non-Controlling Holder has responded within such period (unless the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable, proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) business day period will be deemed to begin anew). In no event will the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable, be obligated to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any Non-Controlling Holder (or its representative).

If the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the holders of the promissory notes comprising a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, it may take, in accordance with the servicing standard under the Non-Serviced PSA, any action constituting a major decision with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any action set forth in any applicable asset status report before the expiration of the aforementioned typical ten (10) business day period.

In addition to the aforementioned consultation right, each Non-Controlling Holder will have the right to annual meetings (which may be held telephonically) with the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to such Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan are discussed.

If the special servicer termination event under the related Non-Serviced PSA has occurred that affects a Non-Controlling Holder, such holder will have the right to direct the related Non-Serviced Trustee to terminate the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer under such Non-Serviced PSA solely with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, other than with respect to any rights such Non-Serviced Special Servicer may have as a certificateholder under such Non-Serviced PSA, entitlements to amounts payable to such Non-Serviced Special Servicer at the time of termination, entitlements to indemnification amounts and any other entitlements of the terminated party that survive the termination.

Custody of the Mortgage File

Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loan

If any Non-Serviced Whole Loan becomes a defaulted mortgage loan, and if the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer decides to sell the related Companion Loan contributed to the Non-Serviced Securitization Trust, such Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be required to sell the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan together as interests evidencing one whole loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the

233 

related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will not be permitted to sell a Non-Serviced Whole Loan without the consent of each Non-Controlling Holder unless it has delivered to such holder (a) at least fifteen (15) business days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, a copy of the most recent appraisal and certain other supplementary documents (if requested by such holder), and (c) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the applicable Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder under the related Non-Serviced PSA) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and documents being provided to offerors or otherwise approved by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale.

Consultation and Control

Pursuant to the Christiana Mall Intercreditor Agreement and the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS TSA, the controlling note holder with respect to the Christiana Mall Whole Loan, as of any date of determination, is expected to be the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Mortgage Trust, so long as the Note A-1-A is included in the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Mortgage Trust. During a Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Subordinate Control Period or a Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Subordinate Consultation Period (each as defined below), a majority of the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Mortgage Trust Class E certificates (the “Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Controlling Class“) will have the right at any time to appoint a representative (the “Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Directing Certificateholder“) which will be entitled to exercise consent and/or consultation rights under the Christiana Mall Intercreditor Agreement and the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS TSA with respect to the Christiana Mall Whole Loan. The Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Mortgage Trust closed on August 9, 2018, at which point there was no Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Directing Certificateholder in place under the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS TSA.

The Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Servicer and the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer will be required to notify the Christiana Mall Directing Holder (or its

236 

designee) of certain major decisions (the “Christiana Mall Major Decisions”). The Christiana Mall Directing Holder will be entitled to advise (1) the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer with respect to all Christiana Mall Major Decisions related to the Christiana Mall Whole Loan during a special servicing loan event (as defined in the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS TSA) and (2) the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer with respect to all Christiana Mall Major Decisions for which the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer. Except as otherwise described in the Christiana Mall Intercreditor Agreement, (i) the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Servicer will not be permitted to implement any Christiana Mall Major Decision unless it has obtained the prior consent of the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer and (ii) during a Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Subordinate Control Period, the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer will not be permitted to consent to the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Servicer’s implementing any Christiana Mall Major Decision nor will the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer itself be permitted to implement any Christiana Mall Major Decision as to which the Christiana Mall Directing Holder has objected in writing within 10 Business Days after receipt of the written analysis and such additional information requested by the Christiana Mall Directing Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Christiana Mall Directing Holder in order to make a judgment with respect to such Christiana Mall Major Decision. The Christiana Mall Directing Holder may also direct the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Christiana Mall Whole Loan as the Christiana Mall Directing Holder may deem advisable.

Neither the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Servicer nor the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer will be required to follow any advice or consultation provided by the Christiana Mall Directing Holder (or its representative) that would require or cause the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Servicer or Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any applicable law, including the REMIC provisions, be inconsistent with the applicable servicing standard, require or cause the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Servicer or Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate provisions of the Christiana Mall Intercreditor Agreement or the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS TSA, require or cause the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Servicer or Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of the Christiana Mall Whole Loan, or materially expand the scope of any of responsibilities of the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Servicer or Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer, as applicable, under the Christiana Mall Intercreditor Agreement or the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS TSA.

In addition, for as long as the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Mortgage Trust securitization has not been terminated, pursuant to the terms of the Christiana Mall Intercreditor Agreement, after the termination of a subordinate consultation period (as described in the Christiana Mall Intercreditor Agreement, a “Christiana Mall Subordinate Consultation Period”) and for so long as such termination remains in effect), (1) the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Mortgage Trust (or the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer acting on its behalf) will be required to provide to the holder of the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan (i) notice, information and reports with respect to any Christiana Mall Major Decisions (similar to such notice, information and reports it is required to deliver to the Christiana Mall Directing Holder pursuant to the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS TSA had the Christiana Mall Subordinate Consultation Period not been terminated) and (ii) a summary of the asset status report relating to the Christiana Mall Whole Loan (at the same time as it would have been required to deliver such summary to the Christiana Mall Directing Holder pursuant to the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS TSA had the

237 

Christiana Mall Subordinate Consultation Period not been terminated) and (2) the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Mortgage Trust (or the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer acting on its behalf) will be required to consult with the holder of the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan (or its representative) on a strictly non-binding basis with respect to any Christiana Mall Major Decision or the implementation of any recommended actions in the summary of the asset status report relating to the Christiana Mall Whole Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by the holder of the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan (or its representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of 10 business days from the delivery by the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Mortgage Trust to the holder of the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan (or its representative) by written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided, the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Mortgage Trust (or the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer acting on its behalf) will no longer be obligated to consult with such holder of the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan (or its representative), whether or not such holder of the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan (or its representative) has responded within such 10 business day period (unless, the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Mortgage Trust (or the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer acting on its behalf) proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such 10 business day consultation period will be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating to such proposal). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of the holder of the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan (or its representative) described above, the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Mortgage Trust (or the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer acting on its behalf) may make any Christiana Mall Major Decision or take any action set forth in the asset status report before the expiration of the 10 business day consultation period if the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Mortgage Trust (or the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer acting on its behalf) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the holders of the Christiana Mall Whole Loan. The Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Mortgage Trust (or the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Special Servicer acting on its behalf) will not be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the holder of the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan (or its representative).

A “Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Subordinate Control Period“ means with respect to the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Mortgage Trust Class E certificates and any date of determination, any period when the certificate balance of the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Mortgage Trust Class E certificates on such date (taking into account the application of appraisal reduction amounts to notionally reduce the certificate balance of such class of certificates) is at least 25% of the initial certificate balance of such class of certificates.

A “Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Subordinate Consultation Period“ means any period when (i) Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Subordinate Control Period is no longer in effect and (ii) the certificate balance of the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Mortgage Trust Class E certificates is less than 25% of the initial certificate balance of such class of certificates, without regard to the application of any appraisal reduction amounts allocated to such class of certificates.

When the certificate balance of the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Mortgage Trust Class E certificates (without regard to the application of appraisal reduction amounts to notionally reduce the certificate balance of such class of certificates) is less than 25% of the initial certificate balance of such class of certificates, the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS Directing Certificateholder will have no consent or consultation rights under the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS TSA except for such rights available to it as a certificateholder and

238 

such other rights that are available to it in accordance with the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS TSA.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer under the Aventura Mall Trust 2018-AVM TSA modifies the terms of the Aventura Mall Whole Loan in connection with a workout or proposed workout thereof such that (i) the principal balance of the Whole Loan is decreased, (ii) the note rate is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on any related promissory note are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Whole Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the mortgage loan documents shall be structured to preserve the sequential order of payment of the related promissory notes, and all payments to the holders of the Aventura Mall Mortgage Loan and the Aventura Mall Pari Passu Companion Loans as described above under “—Application of Payments” are required to be made as though such workout did not occur, with the payment terms of each of the Aventura Mall Mortgage Loan and the Aventura Mall Pari Passu Companion Loans remaining the same as they are on the related Intercreditor Agreement, and the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Whole Loan attributable to such workout will be borne, first, by the holders of the Aventura Mall Subordinate Companion Loans, on a pro rata and pari passu basis, based on their respective principal balances (up to their respective principal balances, together with accrued interest thereon at the related note rate and any other amounts due to each Aventura Mall Subordinate Companion Loan holder, as applicable) and then, by the holders of the Aventura Mall Mortgage Loan and the Aventura Mall Pari Passu Companion Loans, on a pro rata and pari passu basis (up to their respective principal balances, together with accrued interest thereon at the related note rate and any other amounts due to each such holder, as applicable).

Consultation and Control

Pursuant to the Aventura Mall Intercreditor Agreement, the controlling noteholder for the Aventura Mall Whole Loan (the “Aventura Mall Controlling Noteholder“) will be the holder of the Aventura Mall Pari Passu Companion Loan evidenced by promissory note A-1-A provided that the rights of the controlling noteholder are expected to be exercised by holders of the majority of the class of securities issued in the Aventura Mall Trust 2018-AVM securitization designated as the “controlling class” or such other class(es) otherwise assigned the rights to exercise the rights of the controlling noteholder; provided, further, that if at any time 50% or more of promissory note A-1-A (or the “controlling class” of the Aventura Mall Trust

242 

2018-AVM securitization or such other class(es) otherwise assigned the rights to exercise the rights of the controlling noteholder) is held by a borrower affiliate, the holder of promissory note A-1-A (or such class) will not be entitled to exercise any rights of the controlling noteholder under the Aventura Mall Intercreditor Agreement or the Aventura Mall Trust 2018-AVM TSA. Certain decisions to be made with respect to the Aventura Mall Whole Loan, including certain major servicing decisions, and the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an asset status report with respect to the Aventura Mall Whole Loan or any related REO property will require the approval of the Aventura Mall Controlling Noteholder.

Pursuant to the terms of the Aventura Mall Intercreditor Agreement, the issuing entity, as holder of the Aventura Mall Mortgage Loan or its representative (unless the Controlling Class is held by a borrower affiliate), will (i) have the right to receive (1) notice, information and reports with respect to certain major decisions to be taken with respect to the Aventura Mall Whole Loan (similar to such notice, information or report the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer is required to deliver to the directing holder under the Aventura Mall Trust 2018-AVM TSA) (without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the directing holder under the Aventura Mall Trust 2018-AVM TSA due to the occurrence of a control event or a consultation termination event (in each case as defined in the Aventura Mall Trust 2018-AVM TSA)) and (2) a summary of the asset status report relating to the Aventura Mall Whole Loan (at the same time as it is required to deliver to the directing holder under the Aventura Mall Trust 2018-AVM TSA) and (ii) have the right to be consulted on a strictly non binding basis to the extent the holder of the related Mortgage Loan requests consultation with respect to any such major decisions to be taken with respect to the Aventura Mall Whole Loan or the implementation of any recommended action outlined in an asset status report relating to the Aventura Mall Whole Loan (and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be required to consider alternative actions recommended by the holder of the Aventura Mall Mortgage Loan). The consultation rights of the issuing entity, as the holder of the Aventura Mall Mortgage Loan, will expire 10 business days following the delivery of written notice of the proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and reports required thereto (unless the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case the 10 business day consultation period will be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of the issuing entity, as the holder of the Aventura Mall Mortgage Loan, described above, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer is permitted to make any such major decision or take any action set forth in the asset status report before the expiration of the aforementioned 10 business day period if it determines that immediate action with respect to such decision is necessary to protect the interests of the Aventura Mall Noteholders; and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will not be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the issuing entity, as holder of the Aventura Mall Mortgage Loan (or its representative).

243 

substance reasonably satisfactory to it, the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Aventura Mall Controlling Noteholder.

Sale of Defaulted Whole Loan

Pursuant to the terms of the Aventura Mall Intercreditor Agreement, if the Aventura Mall Whole Loan becomes a defaulted loan under the Aventura Mall Trust 2018-AVM TSA, and if the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer determines to sell the promissory notes included in the Aventura Mall Trust 2018-AVM securitization trust in accordance with the Aventura Mall Trust 2018-AVM TSA, then the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be required to sell the Aventura Mall Companion Loans together with the Aventura Mall Mortgage Loan as one whole loan in accordance with the servicing standard as set forth in the Aventura Mall Trust 2018-AVM TSA.

251 

The Fair Oaks Mall B Noteholders, acting unanimously, are entitled to avoid a Fair Oaks Mall B Note Control Appraisal Period caused by application of an appraisal reduction amount under the BANK 2018-BNK12 PSA upon the satisfaction of certain conditions (within 30 days of the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer’s or BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer’s, as applicable, receipt of a third party appraisal that indicates such Fair Oaks Mall Control Appraisal Period has occurred) including delivery to the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer’s or BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer’s, as applicable, of additional collateral in the form of either (x) cash or (y) an unconditional and irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by a bank or other financial institution(s) that meets the rating requirements as described in the Fair Oaks Mall Intercreditor Agreement, in each case, in an amount which, when added to the appraised value of the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgaged Property as determined pursuant to the BANK 2018-BNK12 PSA, would cause the applicable Fair Oaks Mall Control Appraisal Period not to occur.

Pursuant to the terms of the Fair Oaks Mall Intercreditor Agreement, if any consent, modification, amendment or waiver under or other action in respect of the Fair Oaks Mall Whole Loan (whether or not a servicing transfer event has occurred and is continuing) that would constitute a Fair Oaks Mall Major Decision has been requested or proposed or any fact or circumstance has occurred requiring that a Fair Oaks Mall Major Decision be made, or if the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer, as applicable, otherwise intends to make a Fair Oaks Mall Major Decision, at least 10 business days prior to taking action with respect to such Fair Oaks Mall Major Decision, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer, as applicable, must receive the written consent of the Fair Oaks Mall Controlling Noteholder (or its representative) before implementing a decision with respect to such Fair Oaks Mall Major Decision; provided, that if the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer, as the case may be, does not receive a response within 7 business days of its delivery of notice of a Fair Oaks Mall Major Decision, the Fair Oaks Mall Trust Noteholder (or the BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer acting on its behalf) is required to deliver a second notice to the Fair Oaks Mall Controlling Noteholder, and if the Fair Oaks Mall Controlling Noteholder does not respond within 3 business days of receipt of such second notice, it will have no further consent rights with respect to the specific action set forth in such notice; provided, further, that such failure to reply will not affect the rights of the Fair Oaks Mall Controlling Noteholder to consent to any future actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the servicing standard under the BANK 2018-BNK12 PSA, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take actions with respect to the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgaged Property before obtaining the consent of the Fair Oaks Mall Controlling Noteholder (or its representative) if the applicable servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the applicable servicing standard that failure to take such actions prior to such consent would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Fair Oaks Mall Noteholders, and the applicable servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Fair Oaks Mall Controlling Noteholder (or its representative). In addition, at any time the Note B Holder is the Controlling Noteholder, any consent request to terminate the collateral Macy’s lease as contemplated in the Mortgage Loan documents will also require the consent (or deemed consent) of the Note A-1-1 Holder (or the Directing Certificateholder) in addition to the consent (or deemed consent) of the Controlling Noteholder (or its representative), and the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required to copy the Note A-1-1 Holder (or the Directing Certificateholder) on any notice of such consent request sent to the Controlling Noteholder and its representative; the same notice and timing requirements described above with respect to the Controlling Noteholder (or its representative) will apply to such requests for consent of the Note A-1-1 Holder (or the Directing Certificateholder). If

252 

any such consent request is made pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Note A-1-1 Holder must consult with the Controlling Noteholder (or its representative) on a non-binding basis prior to affirmatively consenting to or withholding consent to such consent request.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fair Oaks Mall Trust Noteholder (or the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer, as the case may be, acting on its behalf) is not required to follow any advice or consultation provided by the Fair Oaks Mall Controlling Noteholder (or its representative) that would require or cause the Fair Oaks Mall Trust Noteholder (or the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer, as the case may be, acting on its behalf) to violate any applicable law, including the REMIC provisions, be inconsistent with the applicable servicing standard, require or cause the Fair Oaks Mall Trust Noteholder (or the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer, as the case may be, acting on its behalf) to violate provisions of the Fair Oaks Mall Intercreditor Agreement or the BANK 2018-BNK12 PSA, require or cause the Fair Oaks Mall Trust Noteholder (or the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer, as the case may be, acting on its behalf) to violate the terms of the Fair Oaks Mall Whole Loan, or materially expand the scope of the responsibilities of the Fair Oaks Mall Trust Noteholder (or the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer, as the case may be, acting on its behalf) under the Fair Oaks Mall Intercreditor Agreement or the BANK 2018-BNK12 PSA.

The BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer will be required to provide copies to each Fair Oaks Mall Noteholder that is not the Fair Oaks Mall Controlling Noteholder of any notice, information and report that is required to be provided to the Fair Oaks Mall Controlling Noteholder pursuant to the BANK 2018-BNK12 PSA with respect to any Fair Oaks Mall Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an asset status report within the same time frame such notice, information and report is required to be provided to the Fair Oaks Mall Controlling Noteholder, and at any time the Fair Oaks Mall Controlling Noteholder is the Fair Oaks Mall Trust Noteholder, the BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer will be required to consult with each other Fair Oaks Mall A Noteholder (a “Non-Controlling Fair Oaks Mall A Noteholder“) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, any Non-Controlling Fair Oaks Mall A Noteholder requests consultation with respect to any such Fair Oaks Mall Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Fair Oaks Mall A Noteholder; provided that after the expiration of a period of 10 business days from the delivery to any Non-Controlling Fair Oaks Mall A Noteholder by the BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and reports, the applicable special servicer will no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Fair Oaks Mall A Noteholder, whether or not such Non-Controlling Fair Oaks Mall A Noteholder has responded within such 10 business day period (unless, the BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such 10 business day period will be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Upon securitization of the Fair Oaks Mall A Notes other than the Fair Oaks Mall Trust Note, references in this paragraph to the Non-Controlling Fair Oaks Mall A Noteholder as such term relates to the Fair Oaks Mall A Noteholder will mean the related holders of the majority of the class of securities issued in such securitization designated as the “controlling class” pursuant to the related servicing agreement or their duly appointed representative.

253 

In addition to the consultation rights provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, at any time the Fair Oaks Mall Controlling Noteholder is the Fair Oaks Mall Trust Noteholder, each other Fair Oaks Mall A Noteholder will have the right to attend annual meetings (which may be held telephonically or in person, at the discretion of the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer) with the Fair Oaks Mall Trust Noteholder (or the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer acting on its behalf), upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgage Loan are discussed.

Sale of Defaulted Whole Loan

If an event of default under the Fair Oaks Mall Whole Loan has occurred and is continuing, the BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer may, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the BANK 2018-BNK12 PSA and subject to the related servicing standard, elect to sell (1) the Fair Oaks Mall Whole Loan, subject to the consent right of the Controlling Noteholder (or its representative), in which case such sale would include each of the Fair Oaks Mall A Notes and each of the Fair Oaks Mall B Notes, as determined by the BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer in accordance with the related servicing standard (taking into account the subordinate nature of the Fair Oaks Mall B Notes) or (2) each of the Fair Oaks Mall A Notes together, in which case the BNK12 Fair Oaks Mall Special Servicer will be required to provide notice to each Other Master Servicer who will provide notice to the related Non-Controlling Fair Oaks Mall A Noteholder of the planned sale and of such Non-Controlling A Noteholder’s opportunity to submit an offer on Note A-1-1, Note A-1-2, Note A-2-1, Note A-2-2 and Note A-2-3 together.

Cure Rights

In the event that there is (a) a monetary event of default beyond applicable notice and grace periods with respect to the Fair Oaks Mall Whole Loan or (b) a non-monetary event of default beyond applicable notice and grace periods with respect to the Fair Oaks Mall Whole Loan, then the holders of the Fair Oaks Mall B Noteholders will have the right, acting unanimously, but not the obligation, to: (A) cure such monetary event of default within 7 business days following the receipt of notice of such default and (B) cure such non-monetary event of default within the later of (i) the expiration date of the cure period afforded to the borrower under the Mortgage Loan documents and (ii) 30 days following receipt of notice of such default; provided that under certain circumstances the cure period with respect to a non-monetary event of default may be extended by up to 90 days. If the Fair Oaks Mall B Noteholders elect to cure a default by way of a payment of money (a “Fair Oaks Mall Cure Payment“), the Fair Oaks Mall B Noteholders will be required to make such Fair Oaks Mall Cure Payment as directed by the applicable master servicer or the applicable special servicer and such Fair Oaks Mall Cure Payment is required to include reimbursement for all advances, fees or interest paid by the applicable master servicer or the applicable special servicer or the holders of the Fair Oaks Mall Pari Passu Companion Loans. So long as an event of default exists that is being cured by the Fair Oaks Mall B Noteholders and the applicable cure period has not expired, the default will not be treated as a Fair Oaks Mall Sequential Pay Event (i) for purposes of “—Application of Payments” above, (ii) for purposes of triggering an acceleration of the Fair Oaks Mall Whole Loan or commencing foreclosure proceedings or similar legal proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, or (iii) for purposes of treating the Fair Oaks Mall Whole Loan as a specially serviced loan under the BANK 2018-BNK12 PSA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the right of the Fair Oaks Mall B Noteholders to cure a default will be limited to a combined total of 6 cures of monetary defaults, no more than 4 of which may be consecutive, and 6 non-monetary defaults over the term of the Fair Oaks Mall Whole Loan.

254 

Purchase Option

After the occurrence and delivery of a notice of an event of default or a servicing transfer event, the Fair Oaks Mall B Noteholders, acting unanimously, will have the right, by written notice to the Fair Oaks Mall A Noteholders (a “Fair Oaks Mall Purchase Notice“), to purchase in immediately available funds, (x) the Fair Oaks Mall A Notes in whole, but not in part, at the applicable defaulted mortgage loan purchase price, which is generally equal to unpaid principal, interest and expenses (but generally excluding prepayment premiums, default interest or late charges unless the holder is the borrower or an affiliate of the borrower). Upon delivery of the Fair Oaks Mall Purchase Notice to the then-current Fair Oaks Mall A Noteholders, such Fair Oaks Mall A Noteholders will be required to sell (and the requesting purchaser will be required to purchase) the Fair Oaks Mall A Notes at the applicable defaulted mortgage loan purchase price, on a date (the “Defaulted Fair Oaks Mall Purchase Date“) not less than 10 and not more than 60 days after the date of the Fair Oaks Mall Purchase Notice. The failure of the Fair Oaks Mall B Noteholders to purchase the Fair Oaks Mall A Notes on the Defaulted Fair Oaks Mall Purchase Date will result in the termination of such right with respect to the event of default or servicing transfer event that gave rise to such right. The Fair Oaks Mall B Noteholders have agreed that the sale of the Fair Oaks Mall A Notes will comply with all requirements of the BANK 2018-BNK12 PSA and that all costs and expenses related thereto will be paid by the Fair Oaks Mall B Noteholders. The right of the Fair Oaks Mall B Noteholders to purchase the loans as described in this paragraph will automatically terminate upon a foreclosure sale, sale by power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgaged Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Fair Oaks Mall Trust Noteholder is required to give each Fair Oaks Mall B Noteholder 10 business days prior written notice of its intent with respect to any consummation of a foreclosure sale, sale by power of sale or delivery of deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the related Mortgaged Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if title to the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgaged Property is transferred to the Fair Oaks Mall Trust Noteholder (or a designee on its behalf), in a manner commonly known as “the borrower turning over the keys” and not otherwise in connection with a consummation by the Fair Oaks Mall Trust Noteholder of a foreclosure sale or sale by power of sale or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, less than 10 business days after the acceleration of the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgage Loan, the Fair Oaks Mall Trust Noteholder will be required to notify each Fair Oaks Mall B Noteholder of such transfer and the Fair Oaks Mall B Noteholders will each have a 15 business day period from the date of such notice from the Fair Oaks Mall Trust Noteholder to deliver the Fair Oaks Mall Purchase Notice to the Fair Oaks Mall Trust Noteholder, in which case the Fair Oaks Mall B Noteholders will be obligated to purchase the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgaged Property, in immediately available funds, within such 15 business day period at the applicable purchase price.

Special Servicer Appointment Rights

Pursuant to the Fair Oaks Mall Intercreditor Agreement, the Fair Oaks Mall Controlling Noteholder (or its representative) will have the right, at any time, with or without cause, to replace the special servicer then acting with respect to the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgage Loan and appoint a replacement special servicer in lieu thereof without the consent of the holders of the Fair Oaks Mall Companion Loans (or their representatives) in a manner that is substantially similar to that as described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Special Servicing Transfer Event” and “Rights Upon Servicer Termination Event” in this prospectus.

Additional Information

Each of the tables presented in Annex A-2 sets forth selected characteristics of the pool of Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, if applicable. For a detailed presentation of

255 

certain additional characteristics of the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties on an individual basis, see Annex A-1. For a brief summary of the largest 15 Mortgage Loans in the pool of Mortgage Loans, see Annex A-3.

The description in this prospectus, including Annex A-1, A-2 and A-3, of the Mortgage Pool and the Mortgaged Properties is based upon the Mortgage Pool as expected to be constituted at the close of business on the Cut-off Date, as adjusted for the scheduled principal payments due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date. Prior to the issuance of the Offered Certificates, a Mortgage Loan may be removed from the Mortgage Pool if the depositor deems such removal necessary or appropriate or if it is prepaid. This may cause the range of Mortgage Rates and maturities as well as the other characteristics of the Mortgage Loans to vary from those described in this prospectus.

A Form ABS-EE with the information required by Item 1125 of Regulation AB (17 C.F.R. § 229.1125), Schedule AL – Asset-Level Information will be filed or caused to be filed by the depositor with respect to the issuing entity on or prior to the date of the filing of this prospectus and will provide such information for a reporting period commencing on the day after the hypothetical Determination Date in November 2018 and ending on the hypothetical Determination Date in December 2018. In addition, a Current Report on Form 8-K containing detailed information regarding the Mortgage Loans will be available to persons (including beneficial owners of the Offered Certificates) who receive this prospectus and will be filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act“), together with the PSA, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC“) on or prior to the date of the filing of the final prospectus.

Transaction Parties

The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Barclays Bank PLC, BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC, Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC and Basis Real Estate Capital II, LLC, are referred to in this prospectus as the “originators”. The depositor will acquire the Mortgage Loans from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Barclays Bank PLC, BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC, Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC and Basis Real Estate Capital II, LLC on or about December 20, 2018 (the “Closing Date”). Each mortgage loan seller is a “sponsor” of the securitization transaction described in this prospectus. The depositor will cause the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool to be assigned to the trustee pursuant to the PSA.

Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC

General

Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC (“Argentic“) (formerly known as Silverpeak Real Estate Finance LLC) is a sponsor of, and a seller of certain mortgage loans (the “Argentic Mortgage Loans“) into, the securitization described in this prospectus. Argentic is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. The primary offices of Argentic are located at 40 West 57th Street, 29th Floor, New York, New York 10019.

Argentic’s Securitization Program

Argentic began originating and acquiring loans in 2014 and has not been involved in the securitization of any other types of financial assets. Argentic originates and acquires from unaffiliated third party originators, commercial and multifamily mortgage loans throughout the United States. Since 2014, Argentic has securitized approximately 304 commercial and

256 

multifamily mortgage loans with an aggregate original principal balance of approximately $4,408,080,227.

In connection with this commercial mortgage securitization transaction, Argentic will transfer the Argentic Mortgage Loans to the depositor, who will then transfer the Argentic Mortgage Loans to the issuing entity for this securitization. In return for the transfer by the depositor to the issuing entity of the Argentic Mortgage Loans (together with the other mortgage loans being securitized), the issuing entity will issue commercial mortgage pass-through certificates that are, in whole or in part, backed by, and supported by the cash flows generated by, the mortgage loans being securitized. In coordination with underwriters or initial purchasers and the depositor, Argentic will work with rating agencies, the other loan sellers, servicers and investors and will participate in structuring the securitization transaction to maximize the overall value and capital structure, taking into account numerous factors, including without limitation geographic and property type diversity and rating agency criteria.

Pursuant to a MLPA, Argentic will make certain representations and warranties, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein, and undertake certain loan document delivery requirements with respect to the Argentic Mortgage Loans; and, in the event of an uncured material breach of any such representation and warranty or an uncured material document defect or omission, Argentic will generally be obligated to repurchase or replace the affected mortgage loan or, in some cases, pay an amount estimated to cover the approximate loss associated with such breach, defect or omission.

Argentic does not act as a servicer of the commercial and multifamily mortgage loans that Argentic originates or acquires and will not act as servicer in this commercial mortgage securitization transaction. Instead, Argentic sells the right to be appointed servicer of its securitized loans to unaffiliated third party servicers and utilizes unaffiliated third party servicers as interim servicers.

Argentic’s Underwriting Standards and Processes

Each of the Argentic Mortgage Loans was originated or acquired by Argentic. Set forth below is a discussion of certain general underwriting guidelines and processes with respect to commercial and multifamily mortgage loans originated or acquired by Argentic.

Notwithstanding the discussion below, given the unique nature of commercial and multifamily mortgaged properties, the underwriting and origination procedures and the credit analysis with respect to any particular commercial or multifamily mortgage loan may significantly differ from one asset to another, and will be driven by circumstances particular to that property, including, among others, its type, current use, size, location, market conditions, reserve requirements and additional collateral, tenants and leases, borrower identity, sponsorship, performance history and/or other factors. Consequently, the underwriting of certain commercial or multifamily mortgage loan originated or acquired by Argentic may not conform to the general guidelines and processes described below. For important information about the circumstances that have affected the underwriting of particular Argentic Mortgage Loans, see “—Argentic’s Underwriting Standards and Processes—Exceptions” below and “Annex D-2—Exceptions to Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties” in this prospectus.

Loan Analysis. Generally both a credit analysis and a collateral analysis are conducted with respect to each commercial and multifamily mortgage loan. The credit analysis of the borrower generally includes a review of third party credit reports or judgment, lien, bankruptcy and pending litigation searches. The collateral analysis generally includes a

257 

review of, in each case to the extent available and applicable, the historical property operating statements, rent rolls and certain significant tenant leases. The credit underwriting also generally includes a review of third party appraisals, as well as environmental reports, engineering assessments and seismic reports, if applicable and obtained. Generally, Argentic also conducts or causes a third party to conduct a site inspection to ascertain the overall quality, functionality and competitiveness of the property, including its neighborhood and market, accessibility and visibility, and to assess the tenancy of the property. The submarket in which the property is located is assessed to evaluate competitive or comparable properties as well as market trends.

Loan Approval. Prior to commitment, each commercial and multifamily mortgage loan to be originated or acquired must be approved by a loan committee that includes senior personnel of Argentic Investment Management LLC, the investment advisor of Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC. The committee may approve a mortgage loan as recommended, request additional due diligence, modify the loan terms or decline a loan transaction.

Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Loan-to-Value Ratio. The underwriting includes a calculation of the debt service coverage ratio and loan-to-value ratio. Argentic’s underwriting standards generally require, without regard to any other debt, a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.20x and a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 80.0%.

A debt service coverage ratio will generally be calculated based on the underwritten net cash flow from the property in question as determined by Argentic and payments on the loan based on actual (or, in some cases, assumed) principal and/or interest due on the loan. However, underwritten net cash flow is often a highly subjective number based on a variety of assumptions regarding, and adjustments to, revenues and expenses with respect to the related real property collateral. For example, when calculating the debt service coverage ratio for a commercial or multifamily mortgage loan, annual net cash flow that was calculated based on assumptions regarding projected future rental income, expenses and/or occupancy may be utilized. There is no assurance that the foregoing assumptions made with respect to any prospective commercial or multifamily mortgage loan will, in fact, be consistent with actual property performance. Such underwritten net cash flow may be higher than historical net cash flow reflected in recent financial statements. Additionally, certain mortgage loans may provide for only interest payments prior to maturity, or for an interest-only period during a portion of the term of the mortgage loan.

A loan-to-value ratio, in general, is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the then-outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan divided by the estimated value of the related property based on an appraisal.

Additional Debt. Certain mortgage loans may have or permit in the future certain subordinate debt, whether secured or unsecured, and/or mezzanine debt. It is possible that Argentic or an affiliate may be the lender on that subordinate debt and/or mezzanine debt.

The debt service coverage ratios described above will be lower based on the inclusion of the payments related to such additional debt and the loan-to-value ratios described above will be higher based on the inclusion of the amount of any such subordinate debt and/or mezzanine debt.

Assessment of Property Condition. As part of the underwriting process, the property assessments and reports described below will typically be obtained:

● Appraisals. Independent appraisals or an update of an independent appraisal will generally be required in connection with the origination or acquisition of each

mortgage loan that meets the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation, or the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. In some cases, however, the value of the subject real property collateral may be established based on a cash flow analysis, a recent sales price or another method or benchmark of valuation.

● Environmental Assessment. In most cases, a Phase I environmental assessment will be required with respect to the real property collateral for a prospective commercial or multifamily mortgage loan. However, when circumstances warrant, an update of a prior environmental assessment, a transaction screen or a desktop review may be utilized. Alternatively, in limited circumstances, an environmental assessment may not be required, such as when the benefits of an environmental insurance policy or an environmental guarantee have been obtained. It should be noted that an environmental assessment conducted at any particular real property collateral will not necessarily cover all potential environmental issues. For example, an analysis for radon, lead-based paint, mold and lead in drinking water will usually be conducted only at multifamily rental properties and only if it is believed that such an analysis is warranted under the circumstances. Depending on the findings of the initial environmental assessment, any of the following may be required: additional environmental testing, such as a Phase II environmental assessment with respect to the subject real property collateral; an environmental insurance policy; that the borrower conduct remediation activities or establish an operations and maintenance plan; and/or a guaranty or reserve with respect to environmental matters.

● Engineering Assessment. In connection with the origination/acquisition process, in most cases, it will be required that an engineering firm inspect the real property collateral for any prospective commercial or multifamily mortgage loan to assess the structure, exterior walls, roofing, interior structure and/or mechanical and electrical systems. Based on the resulting report, the appropriate response will be determined to any recommended repairs, corrections or replacements and any identified deferred maintenance.

● Seismic Report. Generally, a seismic report is required for all properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4.

● Title Insurance. The borrower is required to provide a title insurance policy for each property. The title insurance policies provided typically must meet the following requirements: (i) written by a title insurer licensed to do business in the jurisdiction where the mortgaged property is located, (ii) in an amount at least equal to the original principal balance of the mortgage loan, (iii) protection and benefits run to the mortgagee and its successors and assigns, (iv) written on an American Land Title Association form or equivalent policy promulgated in the jurisdiction where the mortgaged property is located and (v) if a survey was prepared, the legal description of the mortgaged property in the title policy conforms to that shown on the survey.

● Casualty Insurance. Except in certain instances where sole or significant tenants (which may include ground tenants) are required to obtain insurance or may self-insure, Argentic typically requires that the related mortgaged property be insured by a hazard insurance policy with a customary deductible and in an amount at least equal to the lesser of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan and 100% of the full insurable replacement cost of the improvements located on the property. If applicable, the policy must contain appropriate endorsements to avoid

259 

the application of coinsurance and not permit reduction in insurance proceeds for depreciation, except that the policy may permit a deduction for depreciation in connection with a cash settlement after a casualty if the insurance proceeds are not being applied to rebuild or repair the damaged improvements.

● Flood insurance, if available, must be in effect for any mortgaged property that at the time of origination or acquisition included material improvements in any area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency a special flood hazard area. The flood insurance policy must meet the requirements of the then-current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration, be provided by a generally acceptable insurance carrier and be in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan, (ii) the full insurable value of the property or, in cases where only a portion of the property is in the flood zone, the full insurable value of the portion of the property contained therein, and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Program Act of 1968, except in some cases where self-insurance was permitted.

● The standard form of hazard insurance policy typically covers physical damage or destruction of the improvements on the mortgaged property caused by fire, lightning, explosion, smoke, windstorm and hail, riot or strike and civil commotion. The policies may contain some conditions and exclusions to coverage, including exclusions related to acts of terrorism. Generally, each of the mortgage loans requires that the related property have coverage for terrorism or terrorist acts, if such coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates. In all (or almost all) cases, there is a cap on the amount that the related borrower will be required to expend on terrorism insurance.

● Each mortgage instrument typically also requires the borrower to maintain comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal and bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the property in an amount customarily required by institutional lenders.

● Each mortgage instrument typically further requires the related borrower to maintain business interruption or rent loss insurance in an amount not less than 100% of the projected rental income from the related property for not less than twelve months.

● Although properties are typically not insured for earthquake risk, a borrower will be required to obtain earthquake insurance if the property has material improvements and the seismic report indicates that the PML or SEL is greater than 20%.

Zoning and Building Code Compliance. In connection with the origination or acquisition of a commercial or multifamily mortgage loan, Argentic will generally examine whether the use and occupancy of the related real property collateral is in material compliance with zoning, land-use, building rules, regulations and orders then applicable to that property. Evidence of this compliance may be in the form of one or more of the following: legal opinions, surveys, recorded documents, temporary or permanent certificates of occupancy, letters from government officials or agencies, title insurance endorsements, engineering or consulting reports, zoning reports and/or representations by the related borrower.

In some cases, a mortgaged property may constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure. In such cases, Argentic may require an endorsement to the title insurance policy or the acquisition of law and ordinance insurance with respect to the particular non

260 

conformity unless it determines that: (i) the non-conformity should not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the borrower to rebuild; or (ii) if the improvements are rebuilt in accordance with currently applicable law, the value and performance of the property would be acceptable; or (iii) any major casualty that would prevent rebuilding has a sufficiently remote likelihood of occurring; or (iv) a cash reserve, a letter of credit or an agreement from a principal of the borrower is provided to cover losses.

If a material violation exists with respect to a mortgaged property, Argentic may require the borrower to remediate such violation and, subject to the discussion under “—Argentic’s Underwriting Standards and Processes—Escrow Requirements” below, to establish a reserve to cover the cost of such remediation, unless a cash reserve, a letter of credit or an agreement from a principal of the borrower is provided to cover losses.

Escrow Requirements. Based on Argentic’s analysis of the real property collateral, the borrower and the principals of the borrower, a borrower under a commercial or multifamily community mortgage loan may be required to fund various escrows for taxes, insurance, replacement reserves, tenant improvements/leasing commissions, deferred maintenance and/or environmental remediation. A case-by-case analysis will be conducted to determine the need for a particular escrow or reserve. Consequently, the aforementioned escrows and reserves are not established for every commercial and multifamily mortgage loan. Furthermore, Argentic may accept an alternative to a cash escrow or reserve from a borrower, such as a letter of credit or a guarantee from the borrower or an affiliate of the borrower or periodic evidence that the items for which the escrow or reserve would have been established are being paid or addressed. In some cases, Argentic may determine that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and Argentic’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the subject expense or cost absent creation of an escrow or reserve. In some cases, Argentic may determine that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted because a tenant or other third party has agreed to pay the subject cost or expense for which the escrow or reserve would otherwise have been established.

Generally, subject to the discussion in the prior paragraph, the required escrows for commercial and multifamily mortgage loans originated or acquired by Argentic are as follows:

● Taxes—Monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property taxes (based on the most recent property assessment and the current millage rate) are typically required to satisfy real estate taxes and assessments, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if there is an institutional property sponsor or high net worth individual property sponsor, or (ii) if and to the extent that a sole or major tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property is required to pay taxes directly.

● Insurance—Monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property insurance premium are typically required to pay insurance premiums, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if there is an institutional property sponsor or high net worth individual property sponsor, (ii) if the related borrower maintains a blanket insurance policy, or (iii) if and to the extent that a sole or major tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property is obligated to maintain the insurance or is permitted to self-insure.

261 

● Replacement Reserves—Replacement reserves are generally calculated in accordance with the expected useful life of the components of the property during the term of the mortgage loan. Annual replacement reserves are generally underwritten to the suggested replacement reserve amount from an independent, third-party property condition or engineering report, or to certain minimum requirements by property type, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if a tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property or other third party is responsible for all repairs and maintenance, or (ii) if Argentic determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and Argentic’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the cost of repairs and maintenance absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

● Tenant Improvements / Leasing Commissions—In the case of retail, office and industrial properties, a tenant improvements / leasing commissions reserve may be required to be funded either at loan origination and/or during the related mortgage loan term to cover certain anticipated leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs which might be associated with re-leasing the space occupied by significant tenants, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the related tenant’s lease extends beyond the loan term, (ii) if the rent for the space in question is considered below market, or (iii) if Argentic determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and Argentic’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the anticipated leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

● Deferred Maintenance—A deferred maintenance reserve may be required to be funded at loan origination or acquisition in an amount typically equal to 100% to 125% of the estimated cost of material immediate repairs or replacements identified in the property condition or engineering report, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the sponsor of the borrower delivers a guarantee to complete the immediate repairs in a specified amount of time, (ii) if the deferred maintenance amount does not materially impact the function, performance or value of the property, (iii) if a tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property or other third party is responsible for the repairs, or (iv) if Argentic determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and Argentic’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the cost of repairs absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

● Environmental Remediation—An environmental remediation reserve may be required at loan origination or acquisition in an amount equal to 100% to 125% of the estimated remediation cost identified in the environmental report, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the sponsor of the borrower delivers a guarantee agreeing to take responsibility and pay for the identified environmental issues, (ii) if environmental insurance is obtained or already in place, (iii) if a third party unrelated to the borrower is identified as the responsible party or (iv) if Argentic determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and Argentic’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct

262 

or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the cost of remediation absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

For a description of the escrows collected with respect to the Argentic Mortgage Loans, see Annex A-1 to this prospectus.

Exceptions. One or more of the Argentic Mortgage Loans may vary from the specific Argentic underwriting guidelines described above when additional credit positive characteristics are present as discussed above. None of the Argentic Mortgage Loans was originated with any material exceptions from Argentic’s underwriting guidelines described above. For any material exceptions to Argentic’s underwriting guidelines described above in respect of the Argentic Mortgage Loans, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines” in this prospectus.

Review of Mortgage Loans for Which Argentic is the Sponsor

Overview. Argentic has conducted a review of the Argentic Mortgage Loans in connection with the securitization described in this prospectus. The review of the Argentic Mortgage Loans was performed by a team comprised of real estate and securitization professionals (the “Argentic Review Team“). The review procedures described below were employed with respect to all of the Argentic Mortgage Loans, except that certain review procedures may only be relevant to the large loan disclosures, if any, in this prospectus. No sampling procedures were used in the review process.

Database. Members of the Argentic Review Team maintain a database of loan-level and property-level information, and prepared an asset summary report, relating to each Argentic Mortgage Loan. The database and the respective asset summary reports were compiled from, among other sources, the related mortgage loan documents, appraisals, environmental assessment reports, property condition reports, seismic studies, zoning reports, insurance review summaries, borrower-supplied information (including, but not limited to, rent rolls, leases, operating statements and budgets) and information collected by the Argentic Team during the underwriting process. After origination of each Argentic Mortgage Loan, the Argentic Review Team updated the information in the database and the related asset summary report with respect to such Argentic Mortgage Loan based on updates provided by the related servicer relating to loan payment status and escrows, updated operating statements, rent rolls and leasing activity, and information otherwise brought to the attention of the Argentic Review Team.

A data tape (the “Argentic Data Tape“) containing detailed information regarding each Argentic Mortgage Loan was created from the information in the database referred to in the prior paragraph. The Argentic Data Tape was used to provide the numerical information regarding the Argentic Mortgage Loans in this prospectus.

Data Comparison and Recalculation. The depositor, on behalf of Argentic, engaged a third party accounting firm to perform certain data validation and recalculation procedures designed by Argentic, relating to information in this prospectus regarding the Argentic Mortgage Loans. These procedures included:

● comparing the information in the Argentic Data Tape against various source documents provided by Argentic that are described under “—Review of Argentic Mortgage Loans—Database” above;

263 

● comparing numerical information regarding the Argentic Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties disclosed in this prospectus against the Argentic Data Tape; and

● recalculating certain percentages, ratios and other formulae relating to the Argentic Mortgage Loans disclosed in this prospectus.

Legal Review. Argentic engaged various law firms to conduct certain legal reviews of the Argentic Mortgage Loans for disclosure in this prospectus. In anticipation of the securitization of each Argentic Mortgage Loan, Argentic’s origination counsel prepared a due diligence questionnaire that sets forth salient loan terms. In addition, such origination counsel for each Argentic Mortgage Loan reviewed Argentic’s representations and warranties set forth on Annex D-1 to this prospectus and, if applicable, identified exceptions to those representations and warranties.

Legal counsel was also engaged in connection with this securitization to assist in the review of the Argentic Mortgage Loans. Such assistance included, among other things, (i) a review of Argentic’s asset summary report, and its origination counsel’s due diligence questionnaire, for each Argentic Mortgage Loan, (ii) a review of the representations and warranties and exception reports referred to above relating to the Argentic Mortgage Loans prepared by origination counsel, and (iii) the review of select provisions in certain loan documents with respect to certain of the Argentic Mortgage Loans.

Other Review Procedures. With respect to any material pending litigation on the underlying mortgaged properties of which Argentic was aware at the origination of any Argentic Mortgage Loan, the Argentic Review Team requested updates from the related borrower, origination counsel and/or borrower’s litigation counsel. Argentic conducted a search with respect to each borrower under the related Argentic Mortgage Loan to determine whether it filed for bankruptcy. If the Argentic Review Team became aware of a significant natural disaster in the vicinity of the Mortgaged Property securing any Argentic Mortgage Loan, the Argentic Review Team obtained information on the status of the Mortgaged Property from the related borrower to confirm no material damage to the Mortgaged Property.

The Argentic Review Team, with the assistance of counsel engaged in connection with this securitization, also reviewed the Argentic Mortgage Loans to determine whether any Argentic Mortgage Loan materially deviated from the underwriting guidelines set forth under “—Argentic’s Underwriting Standards and Processes” above. See “—Argentic’s Underwriting Standards and Processes—Exceptions” above.

Findings and Conclusions. Based on the foregoing review procedures, the Argentic Review Team determined that the disclosure regarding the Argentic Mortgage Loans in this prospectus is accurate in all material respects. The Argentic Review Team also determined that the Argentic Mortgage Loans were originated in accordance with Argentic’s origination procedures and underwriting criteria, except as described under “—Argentic’s Underwriting Standard and Processes—Exceptions” above. Argentic attributes to itself all findings and conclusions resulting from the foregoing review procedures.

Compliance with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act

Argentic most recently filed a Form ABS-15G on February 14, 2018. Argentic’s Central Index Key is 0001624053. With respect to the period from and including September 29, 2014 (the date of the first securitization into which Argentic sold mortgage loans pursuant to which the underlying transaction documents provide a covenant to repurchase an

264 

underlying asset for breach of a representation or warranty) to and including September 30, 2018, Argentic does not have any activity to report as required by Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act with respect to repurchase or replacement requests in connection with breaches of representations and warranties made by it as a sponsor of commercial mortgage securitizations.

Retained Interests in This Securitization

As of the Closing Date, neither Argentic nor any of its affiliates will retain any certificates issued by the issuing entity or any other economic interest in this securitization, except that Argentic is an affiliate of (i) the entity that will purchase the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class H-RR and Class V Certificates and (ii) Argentic Securities Income USA LLC, the entity that is expected to be appointed as the initial Directing Certificateholder. However, Argentic or its affiliates may, from time to time after the initial sale of the certificates to investors on the Closing Date, acquire certificates pursuant to secondary market transactions. Any such party will have the right to dispose of such certificates at any time. See “Credit Risk Retention”.

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association

General

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo Bank“), a national banking association, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC). The principal office of Wells Fargo Bank’s commercial mortgage origination division is located at 4150 E 42nd Street, 38th Floor, New York, New York 10017, and its telephone number is (212) 214-7468. Wells Fargo Bank is engaged in a general consumer banking, commercial banking, and trust business, offering a wide range of commercial, corporate, international, financial market, retail and fiduciary banking services. Wells Fargo Bank is a national banking association chartered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC“) and is subject to the regulation, supervision and examination of the OCC. Wells Fargo Bank is also the successor by merger to Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Wachovia Bank“), which, together with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (formerly known as Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC), was previously a subsidiary of Wachovia Corporation. On December 31, 2008, Wachovia Corporation merged with and into Wells Fargo & Company. As a result of this transaction, the depositor, Wachovia Bank and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Wells Fargo & Company, and affiliates of Wells Fargo Bank. On March 20, 2010, Wachovia Bank merged with and into Wells Fargo Bank.

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association’s Commercial Mortgage Securitization Program

Prior to its merger with Wachovia Bank, Wells Fargo Bank was an active participant in securitizations of commercial and multifamily mortgage loans as a mortgage loan seller and sponsor in securitizations for which unaffiliated entities acted as depositor. Between the inception of its commercial mortgage securitization program in 1995 and December 2007, Wells Fargo Bank originated approximately 5,360 fixed-rate commercial and multifamily mortgage loans with an aggregate original principal balance of approximately $32.4 billion, which were included in approximately 61 securitization transactions.

265 

Prior to its merger into Wells Fargo Bank, one of Wachovia Bank’s primary business lines was the underwriting and origination of mortgage loans secured by commercial or multifamily properties. With its commercial mortgage lending affiliates and predecessors, Wachovia Bank began originating and securitizing commercial mortgage loans in 1995. The total amount of commercial mortgage loans originated and securitized by Wachovia Bank from 1995 through November 2007 was approximately $87.9 billion. Approximately $81.0 billion of such commercial mortgage loans were securitized by an affiliate of Wachovia Bank acting as depositor, and approximately $6.9 billion were securitized by an unaffiliated entity acting as depositor.

Since 2010, and following the merger of Wachovia Bank into Wells Fargo Bank, Wells Fargo Bank has resumed its active participation in the securitization of commercial and multifamily mortgage loans. Wells Fargo Bank originates commercial and multifamily mortgage loans and, together with other mortgage loan sellers and sponsors, participates in the securitization of such mortgage loans by transferring them to the depositor or to an unaffiliated securitization depositor. In coordination with its affiliate, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and other underwriters, Wells Fargo Bank works with rating agencies, mortgage loan sellers, subordinated debt purchasers and master servicer in structuring securitizations in which it is a sponsor, a mortgage loan seller and an originator. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2017, Wells Fargo Bank securitized commercial and multifamily mortgage loans with an aggregate original principal balance of approximately $6.2 billion. Since the beginning of 2010, Wells Fargo Bank originated approximately 2,013 fixed-rate commercial and multifamily mortgage loans with an aggregate original principal balance of approximately $39.5 billion, which were included in 122 securitization transactions. The properties securing these loans include multifamily, office, retail, industrial, hospitality and self storage properties. Wells Fargo Bank and certain of its affiliates also originate other commercial and multifamily mortgage loans that are not securitized, including subordinated and mezzanine loans.

In addition to commercial and multifamily mortgage loans, Wells Fargo Bank and its affiliates have originated and securitized residential mortgage loans, auto loans, home equity loans, credit card receivables and student loans. Wells Fargo Bank and its affiliates have also served as sponsors, issuers, master servicer, servicers, certificate administrators, custodians and trustees in a wide array of securitization transactions.

Wells Fargo Bank’s Commercial Mortgage Loan Underwriting

General. Wells Fargo Bank’s commercial real estate finance group has the authority, with the approval from the appropriate credit authority, to originate fixed-rate, first lien commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loans for securitization. Wells Fargo Bank’s commercial real estate finance operation is staffed by real estate professionals. Wells Fargo Bank’s loan underwriting group is an integral component of the commercial real estate finance group which also includes groups responsible for loan origination and closing mortgage loans.

Upon receipt of an executed loan application, Wells Fargo Bank’s loan underwriters commence a review of the borrower’s financial condition and creditworthiness and the real property which will secure the loan.

Notwithstanding the discussion below, given the unique nature of income-producing real properties, the underwriting and origination procedures and the credit analysis with respect to any particular multifamily or commercial mortgage loan may differ significantly from one asset to another, and will be driven by circumstances particular to that property, including, among others, its type, current use, physical quality, size, environmental condition,

266 

location, market conditions, capital reserve requirements and additional collateral, tenants and leases, borrower identity, borrower sponsorship and/or performance history, and certain other factors. Consequently, we cannot assure you that the underwriting of any particular multifamily or commercial mortgage loan will conform to each of the general procedures described in this “—Wells Fargo Bank’s Commercial Mortgage Loan Underwriting” section. For important information about the circumstances that have affected the underwriting of the mortgage loans in the mortgage pool, see the “Risk Factors” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines” sections of this prospectus and the other subsections of this “Transaction Parties” section.

If a mortgage loan exhibits any one of the following credit positive characteristics, variances from general underwriting/origination procedures described below may be considered acceptable under the circumstances indicated: (i) low loan-to-value ratio; (ii) high debt service coverage ratio; (iii) experienced sponsor(s)/guarantor(s) with financial wherewithal; and (iv) elements of recourse included in the loan.

Loan Analysis. Generally, Wells Fargo Bank performs both a credit analysis and collateral analysis with respect to a loan applicant and the real estate that will secure the loan. In general, credit analysis of the borrower and the real estate includes a review of historical financial statements (or, in the case of acquisitions, often only current financial statements), rent rolls, certain leases, third-party credit reports, judgments, liens, bankruptcy and pending litigation searches and, if applicable, the loan payment history of the borrower. Wells Fargo Bank typically performs a qualitative analysis which incorporates independent credit checks and published debt and equity information with respect to certain principals of the borrower as well as the borrower itself. Borrowers are generally required to be single-purpose entities. The collateral analysis typically includes an analysis of the following, to the extent available and applicable based on property type: historical property operating statements, rent rolls, operating budgets, a projection of future performance, and a review of certain tenant leases. Depending on the type of collateral property and other factors, the credit of key tenants may also be reviewed. Each mortgaged property is generally inspected by a Wells Fargo Bank underwriter or qualified designee. Wells Fargo Bank generally requires third-party appraisals, as well as environmental and property condition reports and, if determined by Wells Fargo Bank to be applicable, seismic reports. Each report is reviewed for acceptability by a staff member of Wells Fargo Bank or a third-party consultant. Generally, the results of these reviews are incorporated into the underwriting report. In some instances, one or more of the procedures may be waived or modified by Wells Fargo Bank if it is determined not to adversely affect the mortgage loans originated by it in any material respect.

Loan Approval. Prior to loan closing, all mortgage loans to be originated by Wells Fargo Bank must be approved by one or more officers of Wells Fargo Bank (depending on loan size), who may approve a mortgage loan as recommended, request additional due diligence, modify the loan terms or decline a loan transaction.

Debt Service Coverage Ratios and Loan-to-Value Ratios. Generally, the debt service coverage ratios for Wells Fargo Bank mortgage loans will be equal to or greater than 1.20x; provided, however, that variances may be made when consideration is given to circumstances particular to the mortgage loan, the related mortgaged property, loan-to-value ratio, reserves or other factors. For example, Wells Fargo Bank may originate a mortgage loan with a debt service coverage ratio below 1.20x based on, among other things, the amortization features of the mortgage loan (for example, if the mortgage loan provides for relatively rapid amortization), the type of tenants and leases at the mortgaged property, the taking of additional collateral such as reserves, letters of credit and/or

267 

guarantees, Wells Fargo Bank’s judgment of improved property and/or market performance in the future and/or other relevant factors.

 Generally, the loan-to-value ratio for Wells Fargo Bank mortgage loans will be equal to or less than 80%; provided, however, that variances may be made when consideration is given to circumstances particular to the mortgage loan, the related mortgaged property, debt service coverage, reserves or other factors. For example, Wells Fargo Bank may originate a mortgage loan with a loan-to-value ratio above 80% based on, among other things, the amortization features of the mortgage loan (for example, if the mortgage loan provides for relatively rapid amortization), the type of tenants and leases at the related mortgaged property, the taking of additional collateral such as reserves, letters of credit and/or guarantees, Wells Fargo Bank’s judgment of improved property and/or performance in the future and/or other relevant factors.

While the foregoing discussion generally reflects how calculations of debt service coverage ratios are made, it does not necessarily reflect the specific calculations made to determine the debt service coverage ratio disclosed in this prospectus with respect to the mortgage loans to be sold to the depositor by Wells Fargo Bank for deposit into the trust fund (the “Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans“).

Additional Debt. When underwriting a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan, Wells Fargo Bank will take into account whether the mortgaged property and/or direct or indirect interest in a related borrower are encumbered by additional debt and will analyze the likely effect of that additional debt on repayment of the subject mortgage loan. It is possible that Wells Fargo Bank or an affiliate will be the lender on that additional debt, and may either sell such debt to an unaffiliated third party or hold it in inventory.

The combined debt service coverage ratios and loan-to-value ratios of a mortgage loan and the related additional debt may be significantly below 1.20x and significantly above 80%, notwithstanding that the mortgage loan by itself may satisfy such guidelines.

Assessments of Property Condition. As part of the underwriting process, Wells Fargo Bank will analyze the condition of the real property collateral for a prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan. To aid in that analysis, Wells Fargo Bank will typically inspect or retain a third party to inspect the property and will in most cases obtain the property assessments and reports described below.

Appraisals. Wells Fargo Bank will, in most cases, require that the real property collateral for a prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan be appraised by a state-certified appraiser, an appraiser belonging to the “Appraisal Institute“, a membership association of professional real estate appraisers, or an otherwise qualified appraiser. In addition, Wells Fargo Bank will generally require that those appraisals be conducted in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices developed by The Appraisal Foundation, a not-for-profit organization established by the appraisal profession. Furthermore, the appraisal report will usually include or be accompanied by a separate letter that includes a statement by the appraiser that the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 were followed in preparing the appraisal. In some cases, however, Wells Fargo Bank may establish the value of the subject real property collateral based on a cash flow analysis, a recent sales price or another method or benchmark of valuation.

Environmental Assessments. Wells Fargo Bank will, in most cases, require a Phase I environmental assessment with respect to the real property collateral for a prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan. However, when circumstances warrant, Wells

268 

Fargo Bank may utilize an update of a prior environmental assessment, a transaction screen or a desktop review. Alternatively, Wells Fargo Bank might forego an environmental assessment in limited circumstances, such as when it has obtained the benefits of an environmental insurance policy or an environmental guarantee. Furthermore, an environmental assessment conducted at any particular real property collateral will not necessarily cover all potential environmental issues. For example, an analysis for radon, lead-based paint and lead in drinking water will usually be conducted only at multifamily rental properties and only when Wells Fargo Bank or the environmental consultant believes that special circumstances warrant such an analysis.

Depending on the findings of the initial environmental assessment, Wells Fargo Bank may require additional record searches or environmental testing, such as a Phase II environmental assessment with respect to the real property collateral.

Engineering Assessments. In connection with the origination process, Wells Fargo Bank may require that an engineering firm inspect the real property collateral for any prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan to assess the structure, exterior walls, roofing, interior structure and/or mechanical and electrical systems. Based on the resulting report, Wells Fargo Bank will determine the appropriate response, if any, to any recommended repairs, corrections or replacements and any identified deferred maintenance.

Seismic Report. In general, prospective borrowers seeking loans secured by properties located in California or in seismic zones 3 or 4 obtain a seismic engineering report of the building and, based thereon and on certain statistical information, an estimate of damage based on the percentage of the replacement cost of the building in an earthquake scenario. This percentage of the replacement cost is expressed in terms of probable maximum loss (“PML“), probable loss (“PL“), or scenario expected loss (“SEL“). Generally, any of the mortgage loans as to which the property was estimated to have PML, PL or SEL in excess of 20% of the estimated replacement cost, would either be subject to a lower loan-to-value ratio limit at origination, be conditioned on seismic upgrading (or appropriate reserves or letter of credit for retrofitting), be conditioned on satisfactory earthquake insurance, or be structured with a degree of recourse to a guarantor.

Zoning and Building Code Compliance. In connection with the origination of a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan, Wells Fargo Bank will generally consider whether the use and occupancy of the related real property collateral is in material compliance with zoning, land-use, building rules, regulations and orders then applicable to that property. Evidence of this compliance may be in the form of one or more of the following: legal opinions; surveys; recorded documents; temporary or permanent certificates of occupancy; letters from government officials or agencies, including applicable land use and zoning regulations; title insurance endorsements; engineering or consulting reports; and/or representations by the related borrower.

Where a mortgaged property as currently operated is a permitted nonconforming use and/or the structure and the improvements may not be rebuilt to the same dimensions or used in the same manner in the event of a major casualty, Wells Fargo Bank will consider whether—

● any major casualty that would prevent rebuilding has a sufficiently remote likelihood of occurring;

● casualty insurance proceeds together with the value of any additional collateral would be available in an amount estimated by Wells Fargo Bank to be sufficient to pay off the related mortgage loan in full;

269 

● the real property collateral, if permitted to be repaired or restored in conformity with current law, would in Wells Fargo Bank’s judgment constitute adequate security for the related mortgage loan;

● whether a variance or other similar change in applicable zoning restrictions is potentially available, or whether the applicable governing entity is likely to enforce the related limitations; and/or

● to require the related borrower to obtain law and ordinance insurance and/or alternative mitigant is in place.

Escrow Requirements. Generally, Wells Fargo Bank requires most borrowers to fund various escrows for taxes and insurance, capital expenses and replacement reserves. Generally, the required escrows for mortgage loans originated by Wells Fargo Bank are as follows:

● Taxes—Typically, an initial deposit and monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property taxes (based on the most recent property assessment and the current millage rate) are required to provide Wells Fargo Bank with sufficient funds to satisfy all taxes and assessments. Tax escrows may not be required if a property is a single tenant property and the tenant is required to pay taxes directly. Wells Fargo Bank may waive this escrow requirement under certain circumstances.

● Insurance—If the property is insured under an individual policy (i.e., the property is not covered by a blanket policy), typically an initial deposit and monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property insurance premium are required to provide Wells Fargo Bank with sufficient funds to pay all insurance premiums. Insurance escrows may not be required if (i) the borrower maintains a blanket insurance policy, or (ii) the property is a single tenant property (which may include ground leased tenants) and the tenant is required to maintain property insurance. Wells Fargo Bank may waive this escrow requirement under certain circumstances.

● Replacement Reserves—Replacement reserves are generally calculated in accordance with the expected useful life of the components of the property during the term of the mortgage loan. Annual replacement reserves are generally underwritten to the suggested replacement reserve amount from an independent, third-party property condition or engineering report, or to certain minimum requirements by property type. Replacement reserves may not be required if the related mortgaged property is a single tenant property and the related tenant is responsible for all repairs and maintenance, including those required with respect to the roof and improvement structure. Wells Fargo Bank may waive this escrow requirement under certain circumstances.

● Completion Repair/Environmental Remediation—Typically, a completion repair or remediation reserve is required where an environmental or engineering report suggests that such reserve is necessary. Upon funding of the related mortgage loan, Wells Fargo Bank generally requires that at least 115%-125% of the estimated costs of repairs or replacements be reserved and generally requires that repairs or replacements be completed within a year after the funding of the related mortgage loan. Wells Fargo Bank may waive this escrow requirement or adjust the timing to complete repairs under certain circumstances.

● Tenant Improvement/Lease Commissions—In most cases, various tenants have lease expirations within the mortgage loan term. To mitigate this risk, special reserves

270 

may be required to be funded either at closing of the mortgage loan and/or during the related mortgage loan term to cover certain anticipated leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs which might be associated with re-leasing the space occupied by such tenants. Tenant Improvement/Lease Commissions may not be required for single tenant properties with leases that extend beyond the loan term or where rent at the mortgaged property is considered below market. Wells Fargo Bank may waive this escrow requirement under certain circumstances.

Furthermore, Wells Fargo Bank may accept an alternative to a cash escrow or reserve from a borrower, such as a letter of credit or a guarantee from the borrower or an affiliate of the borrower or periodic evidence that the items for which the escrow or reserve would have been established are being addressed. In some cases, Wells Fargo Bank may determine that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted in the event of the existence of one or more of the credit positive characteristics discussed above, or given the amounts that would be involved and Wells Fargo Bank’s evaluation of the ability of the mortgaged property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the subject expense or cost absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

Co-Originated or Third Party-Originated Mortgage Loans. From time to time, Wells Fargo Bank originates mortgage loans together with other financial institutions. The resulting mortgage loans are evidenced by two or more promissory notes, at least one of which will reflect Wells Fargo Bank as the payee. Wells Fargo Bank has in the past and may in the future deposit such promissory notes for which it is named as payee with one or more securitization trusts, while its co-originators have in the past and may in the future deposit such promissory notes for which they are named payee into other securitization trusts. No Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loan to be included in the trust fund has been co-originated as described in this paragraph. From time to time, Wells Fargo Bank acquires mortgage loans originated by third parties and deposits such mortgage loans into securitization trusts. None of the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans included in this securitization was originated by a third party.

Exceptions. One or more of Wells Fargo Bank’s Mortgage Loans may vary from the specific Wells Fargo Bank’s underwriting guidelines described above when additional credit positive characteristics are present as discussed above. In addition, in the case of one or more of Wells Fargo Bank’s Mortgage Loans, Wells Fargo Bank or another originator may not have applied each of the specific underwriting guidelines described above as the result of case-by-case permitted flexibility based upon other compensating factors. For any material exceptions to Wells Fargo Bank’s underwriting guidelines described above in respect of the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines” in this prospectus.

Review of Mortgage Loans for Which Wells Fargo Bank is the Sponsor

Overview. Wells Fargo Bank, in its capacity as the sponsor of the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans, has conducted a review of the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans it is selling to the depositor designed and effected to provide reasonable assurance that the disclosure related to the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans is accurate in all material respects. Wells Fargo Bank determined the nature, extent and timing of the review and the level of assistance provided by any third parties. The review of the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans was performed by a deal team comprised of real estate and securitization professionals who are employees of Wells Fargo Bank (collectively, the “Wells Fargo Bank Deal Team“) with the assistance of certain third parties. Wells Fargo Bank has ultimate authority and control over, and assumes all responsibility for and attributes to itself, the review of the Mortgage Loans that it is selling to the depositor and the review’s findings and

271 

conclusions. The review procedures described below were employed with respect to all of the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans (rather than relying on sampling procedures), except that certain review procedures were solely relevant to the large loan disclosures in this prospectus, as further described below.

Database. To prepare for securitization, members of the Wells Fargo Bank Deal Team created a database of loan-level and property-level information relating to each Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loan. The database was compiled from, among other sources, the related mortgage loan documents, third-party reports (appraisals, environmental site assessments, property condition reports, zoning reports and applicable seismic studies), insurance policies, borrower-supplied information (including, to the extent available, rent rolls, leases, operating statements and budgets) and information collected by Wells Fargo Bank during the underwriting process. Prior to securitization of each Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loan, the Wells Fargo Bank Deal Team may have updated the information in the database with respect to such Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loan based on current information provided by the related servicer relating to loan payment status and escrows, updated operating statements, rent rolls and leasing activity, and information otherwise brought to the attention of the Wells Fargo Bank Deal Team. Such updates were not intended to be, and do not serve as, a re-underwriting of any Mortgage Loan.

A data tape (the “Wells Fargo Bank Data Tape“) containing detailed information regarding each Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loan was created from the information in the database referred to in the prior paragraph. The Wells Fargo Bank Data Tape was used by the Wells Fargo Bank Deal Team to provide the numerical information regarding the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans in this prospectus.

Data Comparisons and Recalculation. The depositor, on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, engaged a third-party accounting firm to perform certain data comparison and recalculation procedures which were designed or provided by Wells Fargo Bank relating to information in this prospectus regarding the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans. These procedures included:

● comparing the information in the Wells Fargo Bank Data Tape against various source documents provided by Wells Fargo Bank;

● comparing numerical information regarding the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties disclosed in this prospectus against the information contained in the Wells Fargo Bank Data Tape; and

● recalculating certain percentages, ratios and other formulae relating to the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans disclosed in this prospectus.

Legal Review. In anticipation of the securitization of each Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loan, mortgage loan seller counsel promulgated a form of legal summary to be completed by origination counsel that, among other things, set forth certain material terms and property diligence information, and elicited information concerning potentially outlying attributes of the mortgage loan as well as any related mitigating considerations. Mortgage loan seller’s counsel reviewed the legal summaries for each Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loan, together with pertinent parts of the Mortgage Loan documentation and property diligence materials, in connection with preparing or corroborating the accuracy of certain loan disclosure in this prospectus. In addition, mortgage loan seller’s counsel reviewed Wells Fargo Bank’s representations and warranties set forth on Annex D-1 and, if applicable, identified exceptions to those representations and warranties.

272 

Securitization counsel was also engaged to assist in the review of the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans. Such assistance included, among other things, a review of a due diligence questionnaire completed by the Wells Fargo Bank Deal Team. Securitization counsel also reviewed the property release provisions, if any, for each Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loan with multiple Mortgaged Properties for compliance with the REMIC provisions.

Mortgage loan seller’s counsel or securitization counsel also assisted in the preparation of the mortgage loan summaries set forth in Annex A-3, based on their respective reviews of pertinent sections of the related mortgage loan documents and other loan information.

Other Review Procedures. Prior to securitization, Wells Fargo Bank confirmed with the related servicers for the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans that, to the best of such servicers’ knowledge and except as previously identified, material events concerning the related Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property and the borrower and guarantor had not occurred since origination, including, but not limited to, (i) loan modifications or assumptions, or releases of the related borrower or Mortgaged Property; (ii) damage to the Mortgaged Property that materially and adversely affects its value as security for the Mortgage Loan; (iii) pending condemnation actions; (iv) litigation, regulatory or other proceedings against the Mortgaged Property, borrower or guarantor, or notice of non-compliance with environmental laws; (v) bankruptcies involving any borrower or guarantor, or any tenant occupying a single tenant property; and (vi) any existing or incipient material defaults.

The Wells Fargo Bank Deal Team also consulted with Wells Fargo Bank personnel responsible for the origination of the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans to confirm that the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans were originated in compliance with the origination and underwriting criteria described above under “—Wells Fargo Bank’s Commercial Mortgage Loan Underwriting,” as well as to identify any material deviations from those origination and underwriting criteria. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines” in this prospectus.

Findings and Conclusions. Wells Fargo Bank found and concluded with reasonable assurance that the disclosure regarding the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans in this prospectus is accurate in all material respects. Wells Fargo Bank also found and concluded with reasonable assurance that the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans were originated in accordance with Wells Fargo Bank’s origination procedures and underwriting criteria, except as described above under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines”.

Review Procedures in the Event of a Mortgage Loan Substitution. Wells Fargo Bank will perform a review of any Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loan that it elects to substitute for a Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loan in the pool in connection with a material breach of a representation or warranty or a material document defect. Wells Fargo Bank, and if appropriate its legal counsel, will review the mortgage loan documents and servicing history of the substitute mortgage loan to confirm it meets each of the criteria required under the terms of the related mortgage loan purchase agreement and the related pooling and servicing agreement (the “Qualification Criteria“). Wells Fargo Bank may engage a third party accounting firm to compare the Qualification Criteria against the underlying source documentation to verify the accuracy of the review by Wells Fargo Bank and to confirm any numerical and/or statistical information to be disclosed in any required filings under the Exchange Act. Legal counsel will also be engaged by Wells Fargo Bank to render any tax opinion required in connection with the substitution.

273 

Compliance with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act

⁽¹⁾ In connection with the preparation of this table, Wells Fargo Bank undertook the following steps to gather the information required by Rule 15Ga-1 (“Rule 15Ga-1”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): (i) identifying all asset-backed securities transactions in which Wells Fargo Bank (or a predecessor) acted as a securitizer, (ii) performing a diligent search of the records of Wells Fargo Bank and the records of affiliates of Wells Fargo Bank that acted as securitizers in transactions of commercial mortgage loans for all relevant information, (iii) reviewing appropriate documentation from all relevant transactions to determine the parties responsible for enforcing representations and warranties, and any other parties who might have received repurchase requests (such parties, “Demand Entities”), and (iv) making written request of each Demand Entity to provide any information in its possession regarding requests or demands to repurchase any loans for breach of a representation or warranty with respect to any relevant transaction. In this effort, Wells Fargo Bank made written requests of all trustees and unaffiliated co-sponsors of applicable commercial mortgage-backed securities transactions. Wells Fargo Bank followed up written requests made of Demand Entities as it deemed appropriate.

275

⁽¹⁰⁾ U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for Registered Holders of Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-C28 (“U.S. Bank”) v. Dexia Real Estate Capital Markets (“Dexia”), Case No. 12 Civ 9412, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. U.S. Bank filed its complaint against Dexia (on December 27, 2012) arguing that Dexia had breached the terms of the related mortgage loan purchase agreement in light of the determination in a Minnesota enforcement action against the guarantors of Loan #58 Marketplace Retail and Office Center (“Loan #58”) that the form of the guaranty sold to U.S. Bank pursuant to the mortgage loan purchase agreement had not been signed by the guarantors. U.S. Bank, in its complaint, seeks a judgment requiring Dexia to repurchase Loan #58 for approximately $16.5 million. Dexia filed a Notice of Motion to Dismiss and a Memorandum in Support of its Motion to Dismiss on January 25, 2013. Judge Shira A. Scheindlin entered an order denying Dexia’s motion on June 6, 2013. After completion of discovery, U.S. Bank and Dexia filed cross-motions for summary judgment, and on July 9, 2014 Judge Scheindlin entered an Opinion and Order granting the summary judgment motion of U.S. Bank and denying the summary judgment motion of Dexia. On September 12, 2014, the Court entered its judgment directing that Dexia repurchase Loan #58 for $19,627,961.66. On March 16, 2016, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed, and ordered that judgment be entered in Dexia’s favor. On April 11, 2016, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered judgment for Dexia and against U.S. Bank on U.S. Bank’s claims in the case. Because U.S. Bank did not appeal the District Court’s decision within the required 90-day period, this demand has been classified as “withdrawn”.

⁽¹¹⁾ Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as special servicer for Loan #8 88 Hamilton Avenue (in such capacity, the “NXS2 Special Servicer”), claimed in a letter dated March 16, 2016, that NREC breached the representations and warranties made in the related mortgage loan purchase agreement due to the existence of a prior $4,000,000 mortgage on the related mortgaged property. On March 31, 2016, NREC rejected the claim for breach of representation or warranty and noted that a title insurance policy was obtained from Chicago Title Insurance Company, which insures the first lien status of such loan. The NXS2 Special Servicer withdrew its repurchase demand on August 15, 2017.

⁽¹²⁾ CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer for Loan No. 22, Alpha Health Center, claimed in a letter dated December 19, 2017, that Basis Real Estate Capital II, LLC (“Basis”) breached the representations and warranties made in the related mortgage loan purchase agreement due to the existence of a lawsuit that was filed against the sponsor of 300 E. Pulaski, LLC (the “Borrower”). On February 7, 2018, Basis rejected the claim for breach of representation or warranty for several reasons including (i) the lawsuit was filed after Basis had already conducted its due diligence on the Borrower and the sponsor of the Borrower and (ii) the lawsuit in question was served on the sponsor of the Borrower after Basis had originated the Alpha Health Center Loan. Basis has requested that the special servicer rescind its repurchase demand.

Barclays Bank PLC

General

Barclays Bank PLC, a public limited company registered in England and Wales under number 1026167 (“Barclays“), a sponsor and a mortgage loan seller, is an affiliate of Barclays Capital Inc., one of the underwriters. The principal offices of Barclays in the United States are located at 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, telephone number (212) 412-4000.

Barclays’ Securitization Program

As a sponsor, Barclays originates or acquires mortgage loans and initiates a securitization transaction by selecting the portfolio of mortgage loans to be securitized and transferring those mortgage loans to a securitization depositor who in turn transfers those mortgage loans to the issuing entity. In selecting a portfolio to be securitized, consideration is given to geographic concentration, property type concentration and rating agency models and criteria. Barclays’ role also includes leading and participating in the selection of third-party service providers such as the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee and the certificate administrator, and engaging the rating agencies. In coordination with the underwriters for the related offering, Barclays works with rating agencies, investors, mortgage loan sellers and servicers in structuring the securitization transaction.

Barclays has been engaged in commercial mortgage loan securitization in the United States since 2004. The vast majority of commercial mortgage loans originated by Barclays are intended to be either sold through securitization transactions in which Barclays acts as a sponsor or sold to third parties in individual loan sale transactions. The following is a

277 

general description of the types of commercial mortgage loans that Barclays originates for securitization:

● Fixed rate mortgage loans generally having maturities between five and ten years and secured by commercial real estate such as office, retail, hospitality, multifamily, manufactured housing, healthcare, self storage and industrial properties. These loans are primarily originated for the purpose of securitization.

● Floating rate loans generally having shorter maturities and secured by stabilized and non-stabilized commercial real estate properties. These loans are primarily originated for securitization, though in certain cases only a senior interest in the loan is intended to be securitized.

● Subordinate mortgage loans and mezzanine loans. These loans are generally not originated for securitization and are sold in individual loan sale transactions.

In general, Barclays does not hold the loans it originates until maturity.

Neither Barclays nor any of its affiliates act as servicer of the commercial mortgage loans in its securitization transactions. Instead, Barclays contracts with other entities to service the mortgage loans in the securitization transactions.

Barclays’ affiliates commenced selling commercial mortgage loans into U.S. securitizations in 2004. During the period commencing in 2004 and ending on November 15, 2018, Barclays’ affiliates were the loan sellers in approximately 105 commercial mortgage-backed securitization transactions. Approximately $32.3 billion of the mortgage loans included in those transactions were originated or acquired by Barclays.

The following table sets forth information with respect to originations and securitizations of fixed rate and floating rate commercial and multifamily mortgage loans by Barclays affiliates for the years ending on December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and through November 15, 2018.

Review of Barclays Mortgage Loans

Overview. Barclays has conducted a review of the mortgage loans for which Barclays is a sponsor in this securitization (the “Barclays Mortgage Loans“) in connection with the securitization described in this prospectus. The review of the Barclays Mortgage Loans was performed by a team comprised of real estate and securitization professionals at Barclays’ offices (the “Barclays Review Team“). The review procedures described below were employed with respect to all of the Barclays Mortgage Loans. No sampling procedures were used in the review process.

Database. To prepare for securitization, members of the Barclays Review Team created a database of loan-level and property-level information relating to each Barclays Mortgage Loan. The database was compiled from, among other sources, the related loan documents, appraisals, environmental assessment reports, property condition reports, seismic studies, zoning reports, insurance review summaries, borrower-supplied information (including, but not limited to, rent rolls, leases, operating statements and budgets) and information collected by the Barclays Review Team during the underwriting process. After origination of each Barclays Mortgage Loan, the Barclays Review Team updated the information in the database with respect to such Barclays Mortgage Loan based on updates provided by the related servicer relating to loan payment status and escrows, updated operating statements, rent rolls and leasing activity, and information otherwise brought to the attention of the Barclays Review Team.

A data tape (the “Barclays Data Tape“) containing detailed information regarding each Barclays Mortgage Loan was created from the information in the database referred to in the prior paragraph. The Barclays Data Tape was used to provide the numerical information regarding the Barclays Mortgage Loans in this prospectus.

Data Comparison and Recalculation. The depositor, on behalf of Barclays, engaged a third party accounting firm to perform certain data comparison and recalculation procedures, the nature, extent and timing of which were designed by Barclays, relating to information in this prospectus regarding the Barclays Mortgage Loans. These procedures included:

● comparing the information in the Barclays Data Tape against various source documents provided by Barclays that are described above under “—Database”;

● comparing numerical information regarding the Barclays Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties disclosed in this prospectus against the Barclays Data Tape; and

● recalculating certain percentages, ratios and other formulae relating to the Barclays Mortgage Loans disclosed in this prospectus.

Legal Review. Barclays and the other originators of the Barclays Mortgage Loans engaged various law firms to conduct certain legal reviews of the Barclays Mortgage Loans for disclosure in this prospectus. In anticipation of the securitization of each Barclays Mortgage Loan, Barclays’ and the other originators’ origination counsel reviewed a form of securitization representations and warranties at origination and, if applicable, identified exceptions to those representations and warranties. Barclays’ and the other originators’ origination and underwriting staff also performed a review of the representations and warranties.

279 

Legal counsel was also engaged in connection with this securitization to assist in the review of the Barclays Mortgage Loans. Such assistance included, among other things, (i) a review of Barclays’ asset summary reports for each Barclays Mortgage Loan, (ii) a review of the representations and warranties and exception reports referred to above relating to the Barclays Mortgage Loans prepared by origination counsel, (iii) the review and assistance in the completion by the Barclays Review Team of a due diligence questionnaire relating to the Barclays Mortgage Loans and (iv) the review of certain loan documents with respect to the Barclays Mortgage Loans.

Other Review Procedures. With respect to any material pending litigation of which Barclays was aware at the origination of any Barclays Mortgage Loan, Barclays requested updates from the related borrower, origination counsel and/or borrower’s litigation counsel.

The Barclays Review Team, with the assistance of counsel engaged in connection with this securitization, also reviewed the Barclays Mortgage Loans to determine whether any Barclays Mortgage Loan materially deviated from the underwriting guidelines set forth under “—Barclays’ Underwriting Guidelines and Processes—Exceptions” below.

Findings and Conclusions. Based on the foregoing review procedures, Barclays determined that the disclosure regarding the Barclays Mortgage Loans in this prospectus is accurate in all material respects. Barclays also determined that the Barclays Mortgage Loans were originated in accordance with Barclays’ origination procedures and underwriting criteria, except as described under “—Barclays’ Underwriting Guidelines and Processes—Exceptions” below. Barclays attributes to itself all findings and conclusions resulting from the foregoing review procedures.

Review Procedures in the Event of a Mortgage Loan Substitution. Barclays will perform a review of any mortgage loan that it elects to substitute for a mortgage loan in the pool in connection with a material breach of a representation or warranty or a material document defect. Barclays, and if appropriate its legal counsel, will review the mortgage loan documents and servicing history of the substitute mortgage loan to confirm it meets each of the criteria required under the terms of the related mortgage loan purchase agreement and the pooling and servicing agreement (“Barclays’ Qualification Criteria“). Barclays will engage a third party accounting firm to compare the Barclays’ Qualification Criteria against the underlying source documentation to verify the accuracy of the review by Barclays and to confirm any numerical and/or statistical information to be disclosed in any required filings under the Exchange Act. Legal counsel will also be engaged by Barclays to render any tax opinion required in connection with the substitution.

Barclays’ Underwriting Guidelines and Processes

After review and participation in the pre-closing due diligence and closing process by Barclays, each of the Barclays Mortgage Loans was generally originated in accordance with the underwriting criteria described below. Each lending situation is unique, however, and the facts and circumstances surrounding a particular mortgage loan, such as the quality and location of the real estate collateral, the sponsorship of the borrower and the tenancy of the collateral, will impact the extent to which the general guidelines below are applied to that specific loan. These underwriting criteria are general, and we cannot assure you that every loan will comply in all respects with the guidelines. For additional information with respect to exceptions to the underwriting guidelines, see “—Exceptions” below. Barclays originates mortgage loans principally for securitization.

General. Barclays originates commercial mortgage loans from its headquarters in New York and its West Coast office. Barclays may use table funding arrangements through third

280 

party origination platforms that have origination offices in additional locations. Bankers at Barclays and at any table funded lenders focus on sourcing, structuring, underwriting and performing due diligence on their loans. Structured finance bankers work closely with the loans’ originators to ensure that the loans are suitable for securitization and satisfy rating agency criteria. All mortgage loans, including any originated by table funded lenders, must be approved by Barclays’ credit department, as described below under “—Loan Approval”.

Loan Analysis. Generally, Barclays performs both a credit analysis and collateral analysis with respect to a loan applicant and the real estate that will secure a mortgage loan. In general, the analysis of a borrower includes a review of anti-money laundering or OFAC checks, as well as background checks and the analysis of its loan sponsor includes a review of money laundering and background checks, third-party credit reports, bankruptcy and lien searches, general banking references and commercial mortgage related references. In general, the analysis of the collateral includes a site visit and a review of the property’s historical operating statements (if available), independent market research, an appraisal with an emphasis on rental and sales comparables, engineering and environmental reports, the property’s historic and current occupancy, financial strengths of tenants, the duration and terms of tenant leases and the use of the property. Each report is reviewed for acceptability by a real estate finance loan underwriter. The borrower’s and property manager’s experience and presence in the subject market are also reviewed. Consideration is also given to anticipated changes in cash flow that may result from changes in lease terms or market considerations.

Borrowers are generally required to be single purpose entities although they are generally not required to be structured to reduce the possibility of becoming insolvent or bankrupt unless the loan has a principal balance of greater than $20 million, in which case additional limitations including the requirement that the borrower have at least one independent director are required.

Loan Approval. All mortgage loans originated or table funded by Barclays must be approved by a credit committee. The credit committee may approve a mortgage loan as recommended, request additional due diligence, modify the loan terms or decline a loan transaction.

Debt Service Coverage Ratio and LTV Ratio. Barclays’ underwriting standards generally mandate minimum debt service coverage ratios and maximum loan-to-value ratios. A loan-to-value ratio, generally based upon the appraiser’s determination of value as well as the value derived using a stressed capitalization rate, is considered. The debt service coverage ratio is based upon the underwritten net cash flow and is given particular importance. However, notwithstanding such guidelines, in certain circumstances the actual debt service coverage ratios, loan-to-value ratios and amortization periods for the mortgage loans originated by Barclays may vary from these guidelines.

Escrow Requirements. Generally, Barclays requires most borrowers to fund escrows for expenses such as taxes and insurance, capital expenses and replacement reserves, in some cases upon the occurrence of a trigger event. In the case of certain hotel loans, FF&E reserves may be held by the franchisor or manager rather than the lender. Generally, the required escrows for mortgage loans originated or acquired by Barclays are as follows (see Annex A-1 for instances in which reserves were not taken):

● Taxes – Typically an initial deposit and monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12 of the annual property taxes (based on the most recent property assessment and the current millage rate) are required to provide the lender with sufficient funds to satisfy all taxes and assessments. Barclays may waive this escrow

281 

requirement under appropriate circumstances including, but not limited to, (i) where a tenant is required to pay the taxes directly, (ii) where there is institutional sponsorship or a high net worth individual, (iii) where there is a low loan-to-value ratio or (iv) any Escrow/Reserve Mitigating Circumstances.

● Insurance – If the property is insured under an individual policy (i.e., the property is not covered by a blanket policy), typically an initial deposit and monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12 of the annual property insurance premium are required to provide the lender with sufficient funds to pay all insurance premiums. Barclays may waive this escrow requirement under appropriate circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) where a property is covered by a blanket insurance policy maintained by the borrower or loan sponsor, (ii) where there is institutional sponsorship or a high net worth individual, (iii) where an investment grade or creditworthy tenant is responsible for paying all insurance premiums, (iv) the Mortgaged Property is a single tenant property (or substantially leased to a single tenant) and the tenant maintains the property insurance or self-insures (or may waive the escrow for a portion of the Mortgaged Property which is leased to a tenant that maintains property insurance for its portion of the Mortgaged Property), (v) where there is a low loan-to-value ratio or (vi) any Escrow/Reserve Mitigating Circumstances.

● Replacement Reserves – Replacement reserves are generally calculated in accordance with the expected useful life of the components of the property during the term of the mortgage loan plus two years. Barclays relies on information provided by an independent engineer to make this determination. Barclays may waive this escrow requirement under appropriate circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) where an investment grade or creditworthy tenant is responsible for replacements under the terms of its lease, (ii) the Mortgaged Property is a single tenant property (or substantially leased to a single tenant) and the tenant repairs and maintains the Mortgaged Property (or may waive the escrow for a portion of the Mortgaged Property which is leased to a tenant that repairs and maintains its portion of the Mortgaged Property), (iii) where there is institutional sponsorship or a high net worth individual, (iv) where there is a low loan-to-value ratio or (v) any Escrow/Reserve Mitigating Circumstances.

● Completion Repair/Environmental Remediation – Typically, a completion repair or remediation reserve is required where an environmental or engineering report suggests that such reserve is necessary. Upon funding of the applicable mortgage loan, Barclays generally requires that at least 100% – 125% of the estimated costs of repairs or replacements be reserved and generally requires that repairs or replacements be completed within a year after the funding of the applicable mortgage loan. Barclays may waive this escrow requirement under appropriate circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) where a secured creditor insurance policy or borrower insurance policy is in place, (ii) where an investment grade or creditworthy party has agreed to take responsibility, and pay, for any required repair or remediation, (iii) the Mortgaged Property is a single tenant property (or substantially leased to a single tenant) and the tenant is responsible for the repairs, (iv) the amount recommended is less than $50,000, (v) a repair or replacement item that does not materially impact the function, performance or value of the property or (v) any Escrow/Reserve Mitigating Circumstances.

282 

● Tenant Improvement/Lease Commissions – In most cases, various tenants have lease expirations within the mortgage loan term. To mitigate this risk, special reserves may be required to be funded either at closing of the mortgage loan and/or during the mortgage loan term to cover certain anticipated leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs which might be associated with re-leasing the space occupied by such tenants. Barclays may waive this escrow requirement under appropriate circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) where there is institutional sponsorship or a high net worth individual, (ii) where tenant improvement costs are the responsibility of tenants, (iii) where rents at the Mortgaged Property are considered to be sufficiently below market, (iv) where no material leases expire within the mortgage loan term, or the lease roll is not concentrated, (v) where there is a low loan-to-value ratio or (vi) any Escrow/Reserve Mitigating Circumstances.

● For certain mortgage loans, Barclays requires reserves only upon the occurrence of certain trigger events, such as debt service coverage ratios or tenant-specific tests or occurrences.

● Other Factors – Other factors that are considered in the origination of a commercial mortgage loan include current operations, occupancy and tenant base.

Barclays may determine that establishing any of the foregoing escrows or reserves is not warranted in one or more of the following instances (collectively, the “Escrow/Reserve Mitigating Circumstances“): (i) the amounts involved are de minimis, (ii) Barclays’ evaluation of the ability of the Mortgaged Property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the subject expense or cost absent creation of an escrow or reserve, (iii) based on the Mortgaged Property maintaining a specified debt service coverage ratio, (iv) Barclays has structured springing escrows that arise for identified risks, (v) Barclays has an alternative to a cash escrow or reserve, such as a letter of credit or a guarantee from the borrower or an affiliate of the borrower; (vi) Barclays believes there are credit positive characteristics of the borrower, the sponsor of the borrower and/or the Mortgaged Property that would offset the need for the escrow or reserve; or (vii) the reserves are being collected and held by a third party, such as a management company, a franchisor, or an association.

Servicing. Interim servicing for all loans originated or acquired by Barclays prior to securitization is typically performed by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association.

Exceptions. Notwithstanding the discussion under “—Barclays’ Underwriting Guidelines and Process” above, one or more of the Barclays Mortgage Loans may vary from, or do not comply with, Barclays underwriting guidelines described above. In addition, in the case of one or more of the Barclays Mortgage Loans, Barclays may not have strictly applied the underwriting guidelines described above as the result of a case by case permitted exception based upon other compensating factors. For any material exceptions to Barclays’ underwriting guidelines described above in respect of the Barclays Mortgage Loans, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines” in this prospectus.

Barclays has most recently filed a Form ABS-15G on November 13, 2018 in connection with it being a securitizer of certain types of mortgage loans. Barclays’ Central Index Key is 0000312070. It has no history of repurchases or repurchase requests required to be

283 

reported by Barclays under Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, as amended, with respect to breaches of representations and warranties made by it as a sponsor of commercial mortgage loan securitizations.

Retained Interests in This Securitization

As of the Closing Date, neither Barclays Bank PLC nor any of its affiliates will retain any certificates issued by the issuing entity or any other economic interest in this securitization. However, Barclays Bank PLC or its affiliates may, from time to time after the initial sale of the certificates to investors on the Closing Date, acquire certificates pursuant to secondary market transactions.

Basis Real Estate Capital II, LLC

General

Basis Real Estate Capital II, LLC (“Basis Real Estate Capital”) is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware and an indirect subsidiary of Basis Investment Group LLC (“Basis” or “Basis Investment”). Basis is a privately-held company that commenced operations in January of 2009. Basis (and its direct and indirect subsidiaries) was formed to invest in commercial real estate debt. Basis is a multi-strategy real estate investment platform that originates and acquires performing and distressed loans, bridge loans, mezzanine loans, subordinate participation interests, commercial mortgage-backed securities, preferred equity, structured equity and other high yielding commercial real estate investments. The executive offices of Basis Investment Group LLC are located at 75 Broad Street, Suite 2110, New York, New York 10004.

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association provides short-term warehousing of mortgage loans originated by Basis Real Estate Capital through a repurchase facility. The mortgage loans that Basis Real Estate Capital will be selling to the depositor (the “Basis Mortgage Loans”) are (or are expected to be) subject to such repurchase facility. Basis Real Estate Capital is using the proceeds from its sale of the Basis Mortgage Loans to the depositor to, among other things, simultaneously reacquire such mortgage loans from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association free and clear of any liens.

284 

Basis’ Securitization Program

This is the 36^th commercial mortgage securitization to which Basis and its affiliates are contributing loans. However, certain key principals and members of the senior management team of Basis were senior officers at CWCapital, LLC and GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation and have been active in the commercial mortgage securitization business since 1997 and from 1997 through 2007, they were directly and/or indirectly responsible for the origination and/or securitization of several billion dollars of loans.

From 2010 to 2017, Basis contributed approximately $2,094,013,190 of mortgage loans to multiple commercial mortgage securitizations. Basis did not securitize any commercial mortgage loans prior to 2010 and has not been involved in the securitization of any other types of financial assets.

Basis originates and acquires commercial and multifamily mortgage loans throughout the United States. The commercial and multifamily mortgage loans originated or acquired to be securitized by Basis may include both small balance and large balance fixed-rate and floating-rate loans. The commercial and multifamily mortgage loans that will be sold by Basis Real Estate Capital to the depositor have been originated or acquired by it or an affiliate.

In connection with providing the representations and warranties set forth on Annex D-1 to this prospectus and, if applicable, identified exceptions to those representations and warranties, Basis will conduct its own due diligence review. In addition, closing counsel for each loan will review and/or prepare, among other things, individual loan summaries and initial exception lists to the representations and warranties. Counsel will also review certain loan documentation and perform due diligence procedures.

If a cure, repurchase or substitution is required with respect to a mortgage loan sold by Basis Real Estate Capital in the event of a material document defect or material breach of a representation or warranty with respect to such mortgage loan, Basis Investment will be the sole party responsible for any repurchase or substitution. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Dispute Resolution Provisions” and “Risk Factors—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Sponsors May Not Make Required Repurchases or Substitutions of Defective Mortgage Loans or Pay Any Loss of Value Payment Sufficient to Cover All Losses on a Defective Mortgage Loan” in this prospectus. In addition, Basis Investment has agreed to indemnify the depositor and the underwriters and certain of their respective affiliates with respect to certain liabilities arising in connection with the issuance and sale of the Offered Certificates.

In addition, Basis Real Estate Capital is a party to an interest rate hedging arrangement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association with respect to each of the Basis Mortgage Loans. See “Certain Affiliations, Relationships and Related Transactions Involving Transaction Parties” in this prospectus.

Basis’ Underwriting Standards and Processes

Set forth below is a discussion of certain general underwriting guidelines with respect to mortgage loans originated by Basis or its affiliates.

Notwithstanding the discussion below, given the unique nature of commercial mortgaged properties, the underwriting and origination procedures and the credit analysis with respect to any particular commercial mortgage loan may significantly differ from one asset to another, and will be driven by circumstances particular to that property, including, among

285 

others, the property type, current use, size, location, market conditions, reserve requirements and additional collateral, tenants and leases, borrower identity, sponsorship, performance history and/or other factors. Consequently, we cannot assure you that the underwriting of any particular commercial or multifamily mortgage loan will conform to the general guidelines described below. For important information about the circumstances that have affected the underwriting of the mortgage loans in the mortgage pool, see the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus and the other subsections of this “Transaction Parties” section.

If a mortgage loan exhibits any one of the following characteristics, variances from general underwriting/origination procedures described below may be considered acceptable under the circumstances indicated: (i) low loan-to-value ratio; (ii) high debt service coverage ratio; (iii) experienced sponsor(s)/guarantor(s) with financial wherewithal; (iv) additional springing reserves; (v) cash flow sweeps; and (vi) elements of recourse included in the mortgage loan.

Loan Analysis. Generally, Basis performs both a credit analysis and collateral analysis with respect to each mortgage loan, the loan applicant, and the real estate that will secure the loan. Generally, the credit analysis of the borrower and the real estate includes a review of historical financial statements, including rent rolls (generally unaudited), third party credit reports, judgment, lien, bankruptcy and pending litigation searches and, if applicable, the loan payment history of the borrower. Basis typically performs a qualitative analysis which incorporates independent credit checks and published debt and equity information with respect to certain principals of the borrower as well as the borrower itself. Borrowers are generally required to be single-purpose entities and are generally required to be structured to limit the possibility of becoming insolvent or bankrupt. The collateral analysis typically includes, in each case to the extent available and applicable, an analysis of the historical property operating statements, rent rolls, operating budgets, and a review of tenant leases. Basis generally requires third party appraisals, as well as environmental and building condition reports. Each report is reviewed for acceptability by a staff member of Basis or a third-party consultant for compliance with Basis’ program standards. Generally, a member of the Basis’ underwriting team also conducts a site inspection to ascertain the overall quality, functionality and competitiveness of the property, including its neighborhood and market, accessibility and visibility, and to assess the tenancy of the property. The submarket in which the property is located is assessed to evaluate competitive or comparable properties as well as market trends.

Loan Approval. All mortgage loans to be originated by Basis or Basis Real Estate Capital require approval by a loan credit committee which includes senior personnel from Basis. The committee may approve a mortgage loan as recommended, request additional due diligence prior to approval, approve it subject to modifications of the loan terms or may decline a loan transaction.

Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Loan-to-Value Ratio. Generally, the debt service coverage ratio for mortgage loans originated or acquired by Basis or Basis Real Estate Capital will be equal to or greater than 1.20x and the loan-to-value ratio for mortgage loans originated or acquired by Basis or Basis Real Estate Capital will be equal to or less than 75%; provided, however, that exceptions may be made when consideration is given to circumstances particular to the mortgage loan, the related property, loan-to-value ratio, reserves or other factors. For example, Basis or Basis Real Estate Capital may originate a mortgage loan with a debt service coverage ratio below 1.20x based on, among other things, the amortization features of the mortgage loan (for example, if the mortgage loan provides for relatively rapid amortization), the type of tenants and leases at the property, the taking of additional collateral such as reserves and/or guarantees, Basis’ or Basis Real

286 

Estate Capital’s judgment of improved property and/or market performance in the future and/or other relevant factors.

In addition, with respect to certain mortgage loans originated by Basis or Basis Real Estate Capital, there may exist subordinate debt secured by the related mortgaged property and/or mezzanine debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower. Such mortgage loans may have a lower debt service coverage ratio, and a higher loan-to-value ratio, if such subordinate or mezzanine debt is taken into account.

Environmental Assessments. Phase I environmental site assessments or updates of previously conducted assessments are performed on all mortgaged properties. Depending on the findings of the Phase I assessment, any of the following may be required: additional environmental testing, such as a Phase II environmental assessment on the subject mortgaged property; an environmental insurance policy; cash reserves for any recommended remediation action and/or a guaranty with respect to environmental matters. With respect to a majority of properties, the environmental assessments are performed during the 12-month period before the applicable Cut-off Date. Additionally, all borrowers are required to provide customary environmental representations, warranties and covenants relating to the existence and use of hazardous substances on the mortgaged properties. Any material adverse environmental conditions or circumstances revealed by these environmental assessments for the mortgaged properties are described in this prospectus.

Property Condition Assessments. Inspections or updates of previously conducted inspections are conducted by independent licensed engineers or architects or both for all properties in connection with the origination or the purchase of a mortgage loan. For a majority of the properties, the inspections are conducted within the 12-month period before the applicable Cut-off Date. The inspections are conducted to inspect the exterior walls, roofing, interior construction, mechanical and electrical systems and general condition of the site, buildings and other improvements located at a mortgaged property. The resulting reports on some of the properties may indicate a variety of deferred maintenance items and recommended capital expenditures. In some instances, repairs or maintenance are completed before closing or cash reserves are established to fund the deferred maintenance or replacement items or both.

Appraisal. An appraisal for each property is performed or an existing appraisal updated in connection with the origination or the purchase of the related mortgage loan. For a majority of the properties, the appraisals are performed during the 12-month period before the applicable Cut-off Date. The Appraised Value of the related property or properties is greater than the original principal balance of the related mortgage loan. All such appraisals are conducted by an independent appraiser that is state-certified or designated as a member of the Appraisal Institute. The appraisal (or a separate letter) for all properties contains a statement by the appraiser to the effect that the appraisal guidelines of Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, were followed in preparing the appraisal.

Seismic Report. If the property consists of improvements located in California or in seismic zone 3 or 4, Basis typically requires a seismic report to establish the probable maximum or bounded loss for the improvements at the property as a result of an earthquake. If that loss is in excess of 20% of the estimated replacement cost for the improvements at the property, Basis may require retrofitting of the improvements or that the borrower obtain earthquake insurance if available at a commercially reasonable price. It should be noted, however, that because the seismic assessments may not necessarily have used the same assumptions in assessing probable maximum loss, it is possible that some of the real properties that were considered unlikely to experience a probable maximum loss in

287 

excess of 20% of estimated replacement cost might have been the subject of a higher estimate had different assumptions been used.

Zoning and Building Code Compliance. With respect to each mortgage loan, Basis will generally consider whether the use and occupancy of the related real property collateral is in material compliance with zoning, land-use, building rules, regulations and orders then applicable to that property. Evidence of this compliance may be in the form of one or more of the following: legal opinions; surveys; recorded documents; temporary or permanent Certificates of occupancy; letters from government officials or agencies; title insurance endorsements; engineering or consulting reports; and/or representations by the related borrower.

Where a mortgaged property as currently operated is a permitted nonconforming use and/or the structure and the improvements may not be rebuilt to the same dimensions or used in the same manner in the event of a major casualty, Basis will consider whether:

● any major casualty that would prevent rebuilding has a sufficiently remote likelihood of occurring;

● casualty insurance proceeds together with the value of any additional collateral would be available in an amount estimated by Basis to be sufficient to pay off the related mortgage loan in full;

● the real property collateral, if permitted to be repaired or restored in conformity with current law, would in Basis’ judgment constitute adequate security for the related mortgage loan;

● whether a variance or other similar change in applicable zoning restrictions is potentially available, or whether the applicable governing entity is likely to enforce the related limitations; and/or

● to require the related borrower to obtain law and ordinance insurance and/or alternative mitigant is in place.

Hazard, Liability and Other Insurance. The mortgage loans typically require that the related property be insured by a hazard insurance policy with a customary deductible and in an amount at least equal to the lesser of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan and 100% of the full insurable replacement cost of the improvements located on the property. If applicable, the policy contains appropriate endorsements to avoid the application of coinsurance and does not permit reduction in insurance proceeds for depreciation, except in certain instances where credit tenants are required to obtain this insurance or may self-insure.

Flood insurance, if available, must be in effect for any property that at the time of origination included material improvements in any area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special hazards. The flood insurance policy must meet the requirements of the then-current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration, be provided by a generally acceptable insurance carrier and be in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of: (i) the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan, (ii) the full insurable value of the property, (iii) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, and (iv) 100% of the replacement cost of the improvements located on the property, except in some cases where self-insurance was permitted.

288 

The standard form of hazard insurance policy typically covers physical damage or destruction of the improvements on the mortgaged property caused by fire, lightning, explosion, smoke, windstorm and hail, riot or strike and civil commotion. The policies may contain some conditions and exclusions to coverage, including exclusions related to acts of terrorism. Generally, each of the mortgage loans requires that the related property have coverage for terrorism or terrorist acts, if such coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates; in some cases, there is a cap on the amount that the related borrower will be required to expend on terrorism insurance.

Each mortgage typically also requires the borrower to maintain comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal and bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the property in an amount customarily required by institutional lenders.

Each mortgage typically further requires the related borrower to maintain business interruption or rent loss insurance in an amount not less than 100% of the projected rental income from the related property for not less than twelve months.

The properties are typically not insured for earthquake risk. For properties located in California and some other seismic zones, Basis typically conducts seismic studies to assess the “probable maximum loss”. In general, a borrower will be required to obtain earthquake insurance if the seismic report indicates that the probable maximum loss is greater than 20%.

Earnouts and Additional Collateral Loans. Some of the Basis Mortgage Loans may be additionally secured by cash reserves or irrevocable letters of credit that will be released upon satisfaction by the borrower of leasing-related matters or other conditions, including, in some cases, achieving specified debt service coverage ratios or loan-to-value ratios. For a description of the cash reserves or letters or credit and related earnout information for the Basis Mortgage Loans, see Annex A-1 to this prospectus and the related footnotes.

Escrow Requirements. Generally, Basis requires most borrowers to fund various escrows for taxes and insurance, capital expenses and replacement reserves. Generally, the required escrows for mortgage loans originated by Basis are as follows:

● Taxes—Typically, an initial deposit and monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property taxes (based on the most recent property assessment and the current millage rate) are required to provide Basis with sufficient funds to satisfy all taxes and assessments. Basis may waive this escrow requirement under certain circumstances.

● Insurance—If the property is insured under an individual policy (i.e., the property is not covered by a blanket policy), typically an initial deposit and monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property insurance premium are required to provide Basis with sufficient funds to pay all insurance premiums. Basis may waive this escrow requirement under certain circumstances.

● Replacement Reserves—Replacement reserves are generally calculated in accordance with the expected useful life of the components of the property during the term of the mortgage loan. Basis may waive this escrow requirement under certain circumstances.

● Completion Repair/Environmental Remediation—Typically, a completion repair or remediation reserve is required where an environmental or engineering report suggests that such reserve is necessary. Upon funding of the applicable mortgage loan, Basis generally requires that at least 120% of the estimated costs of repairs or replacements

289 

be reserved and generally requires that repairs or replacements be completed within a year after the funding of the applicable mortgage loan. Basis may waive this escrow requirement under certain circumstances.

● Tenant Improvement/Lease Commissions—In most cases, various tenants have lease expirations within the loan term. To mitigate this risk, special reserves may be required to be funded either at closing of the mortgage loan and/or during the related loan term to cover certain anticipated leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs which might be associated with re-leasing the space occupied by such tenants. Basis may waive this escrow requirement under certain circumstances.

Furthermore, Basis may accept an alternative to a cash escrow or reserve from a borrower, such as a letter of credit or a guarantee from the borrower or an affiliate of the borrower or periodic evidence that the items for which the escrow or reserve would have been established are being paid or addressed. In some cases, Basis may determine that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and Basis’ evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the subject expense or cost absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

Exceptions. Notwithstanding the discussion under “—Basis’ Underwriting Standards and Processes” above, one or more of Basis’ mortgage loans may vary from, or not comply with, Basis’ underwriting guidelines described above. In addition, in the case of one or more of Basis’ mortgage loans, Basis or another Originator may not have strictly applied the underwriting guidelines described above as the result of a case-by-case permitted exception based upon other compensating factors. None of the Basis Mortgage Loans were originated with any material exceptions to Basis Mortgage’s underwriting policies, guidelines and procedures described above.

Review of Mortgage Loans for Which Basis Real Estate Capital is the Sponsor

Overview. Basis Real Estate Capital, in its capacity as the sponsor of the Basis Mortgage Loans, has conducted a review of the Basis Mortgage Loans it is selling to the depositor designed and effected to provide reasonable assurance that the disclosure related to the Basis Mortgage Loans is accurate in all material respects. The review of the Basis Mortgage Loans was performed by a deal team comprised of real estate and securitization professionals who are employees of Basis (collectively, the “Basis Deal Team”) with the assistance of certain third parties. The Basis Deal Team determined the nature, extent and timing of the review and the level of assistance provided by any third parties. Basis Real Estate Capital has ultimate authority and control over, and assumes all responsibility for and attributes to itself, the review of the Mortgage Loans that it is selling to the depositor and the review’s findings and conclusions. The review procedures described below were employed with respect to all of the Basis Mortgage Loans (rather than relying on sampling procedures), except that certain review procedures were solely relevant to the large loan disclosures in this prospectus, as further described below.

Database. To prepare for securitization, members of the Basis Deal Team created a database of loan-level and property-level information relating to each Basis Mortgage Loan. The database was compiled from, among other sources, the related mortgage loan documents, third party reports (appraisals, environmental site assessments, property condition reports, zoning reports and applicable seismic studies), insurance policies, borrower-supplied information (including, to the extent available, rent rolls, leases, operating statements and budgets) and information collected by Basis during the underwriting process. Prior to securitization of each Basis Mortgage Loan, the Basis Deal

290 

Team may have updated the information in the database with respect to such Basis Mortgage Loan based on current information provided by the related servicer relating to loan payment status and escrows, updated operating statements, rent rolls and leasing activity, and information otherwise brought to the attention of the Basis Deal Team. Such updates were not intended to be, and do not serve as, a re-underwriting of any Mortgage Loan.

A data tape (the “Basis Data Tape”) containing detailed information regarding each Basis Mortgage Loan was created from the information in the database referred to in the prior paragraph. The Basis Data Tape was used by the Basis Deal Team to provide the numerical information regarding the Basis Mortgage Loans in this prospectus.

Data Comparisons and Recalculation. The depositor, on behalf of Basis, engaged a third party accounting firm to perform certain data comparison and recalculation procedures which were designed or provided by Basis relating to information in this prospectus regarding the Basis Mortgage Loans. These procedures included:

● comparing the information in the Basis Data Tape against various source documents provided by Basis;

● comparing numerical information regarding the Basis Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties disclosed in this prospectus against the information contained in the Basis Data Tape; and

● recalculating certain percentages, ratios and other formulae relating to the Basis Mortgage Loans disclosed in this prospectus.

Legal Review. Basis engaged various law firms to conduct certain legal reviews of the Basis Mortgage Loans for disclosure in this prospectus. In anticipation of the securitization of each Basis Mortgage Loan originated by Basis Real Estate Capital, origination counsel prepared a loan summary that sets forth salient loan terms and summarizes material deviations from Basis Real Estate Capital’s standard form loan documents. In addition, origination counsel for each Basis Mortgage Loan reviewed Basis Real Estate Capital’s representations and warranties set forth on Annex D-1 to this prospectus and, if applicable, identified exceptions to those representations and warranties.

Securitization counsel was also engaged to assist in the review of the Basis Mortgage Loans. Such assistance included, among other things, a review of a due diligence questionnaire completed by the Basis Deal Team. Securitization counsel also reviewed the property release provisions, if any, for each Basis Mortgage Loan with multiple Mortgaged Properties for compliance with the REMIC provisions.

Mortgage loan seller’s counsel or securitization counsel also assisted in the preparation of the mortgage loan summaries set forth in Annex B to this prospectus, based on their respective reviews of pertinent sections of the related mortgage loan documents and other loan information.

Other Review Procedures. Prior to securitization, the Basis Deal Team confirmed with the related servicers for the Basis Mortgage Loans that, to the best of such servicers’ knowledge and except as previously identified, material events concerning the related Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property and the borrower and guarantor had not occurred since origination, including, but not limited to, (i) loan modifications or assumptions, or releases of the related borrower or Mortgaged Property; (ii) damage to the Mortgaged Property that materially and adversely affects its value as security for the Mortgage Loan; (iii) pending condemnation

291 

actions; (iv) litigation, regulatory or other proceedings against the Mortgaged Property, borrower or guarantor, or notice of non-compliance with environmental laws; (iv) bankruptcies involving any borrower or guarantor, or any tenant occupying a single tenant property; and (v) any existing or incipient material defaults.

The Basis Deal Team also consulted with Basis personnel responsible for the origination of the Basis Mortgage Loans to confirm that the Basis Mortgage Loans were originated in compliance with the origination and underwriting criteria described above under “—Basis’ Underwriting Standards and Processes” as well as to identify any material deviations from those origination and underwriting criteria. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines” in this prospectus.

Findings and Conclusions. Basis found and concluded with reasonable assurance that the disclosure regarding the Basis Mortgage Loans in this prospectus is accurate in all material respects. Basis also found and concluded with reasonable assurance that the Basis Mortgage Loans were originated in accordance with Basis’s origination procedures and underwriting criteria, except as described above under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines”.

Due to the meritless basis for this demand, Basis has requested that CWCapital rescind its repurchase demand.

Any such party will have the right to dispose of any such certificates at any time.

The information set forth under “—Basis Real Estate Capital II, LLC” has been provided by Basis Real Estate Capital.

BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC

General

BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC (“BSPRT”), formerly known as BSPRT Finance, LLC, is a sponsor of, and a seller of certain mortgage loans (the “BSPRT Mortgage Loans”) into, the securitization described in this prospectus. BSPRT originated and underwrote all of the BSPRT Mortgage Loans. BSPRT is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. The primary offices of BSPRT are located at 142 West 57th Street, Suite 1201, New York, New York 10019.

BSPRT’s Loan Origination and Acquisition History

BSPRT began originating and acquiring loans in 2017 and has not been involved in the securitization of any other types of financial assets.

BSPRT originates and acquires from both affiliated and unaffiliated third party originators, commercial mortgage loans throughout the United States. The following tables set forth information with respect to originations and acquisitions of fixed rate commercial mortgage loans by BSPRT as of September 30, 2018.

Originations and Acquisitions of Fixed-Rate Commercial Mortgage Loans

	No. of Loans	Approximate Aggregate Principal Balance of Loans at Origination or Purchase
Originations/Acquisitions	234	$3,385,254,200

In connection with this commercial mortgage securitization transaction, BSPRT will transfer the BSPRT Mortgage Loans to the depositor, who will then transfer the BSPRT Mortgage Loans to the issuing entity for this securitization. In return for the transfer by the depositor to the issuing entity of the BSPRT Mortgage Loans (together with the other mortgage loans being securitized), the issuing entity will issue commercial mortgage pass-through certificates that are, in whole or in part, backed by, and supported by the cash flows generated by, the mortgage loans being securitized. In coordination with the underwriter or the initial purchaser and the depositor, BSPRT will work with rating agencies, the other loan sellers, servicers and investors and will participate in structuring the securitization transaction to maximize the overall value and capital structure, taking into account numerous factors, including without limitation geographic and property type diversity and rating agency criteria.

294 

Pursuant to an MLPA, BSPRT will make certain representations and warranties, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein, and undertake certain loan document delivery requirements with respect to the BSPRT Mortgage Loans; and, in the event of an uncured material breach of any such representation and warranty or an uncured material document defect or omission, BSPRT will generally be obligated to repurchase or replace the affected mortgage loan or, in some cases, pay an amount estimated to cover the approximate loss associated with such breach, defect or omission. We cannot assure you that BSPRT will repurchase or replace, or make an estimated loss reimbursement payment with respect to, a defective mortgage loan, and no affiliate of BSPRT will be responsible for doing so if BSPRT fails with respect to its obligations.

BSPRT does not act as a servicer of the commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans that BSPRT originates or acquires and will not act as servicer in this commercial mortgage securitization transaction. Instead, BSPRT sells the right to be appointed servicer of its securitized loans to unaffiliated third party servicers and utilizes unaffiliated third party servicers as interim servicers.

Review of BSPRT Mortgage Loans

Overview. BSPRT has conducted a review of the BSPRT Mortgage Loans in connection with the securitization described in this prospectus. The review of the BSPRT Mortgage Loans was performed by a team comprised of real estate and securitization professionals (the “BSPRT Review Team”). The review procedures described below were employed with respect to all of the BSPRT Mortgage Loans, except that certain review procedures may only be relevant to the large loan disclosures, if any, in this prospectus. No sampling procedures were used in the review process.

Database. Members of the BSPRT Review Team maintain a database of loan-level and property-level information, and prepared an asset summary report, relating to each BSPRT Mortgage Loan. The database and the respective asset summary reports were compiled from, among other sources, the related Mortgage Loan documents, appraisals, environmental assessment reports, property condition reports, seismic studies, zoning reports, insurance review summaries, borrower-supplied information (including, but not limited to, rent rolls, leases, operating statements and budgets) and information collected by the BSPRT Team during the underwriting process. The BSPRT Review Team periodically updated the information in the database and the related asset summary report with respect to such BSPRT Mortgage Loan based on updates provided by the related servicer relating to loan payment status and escrows, updated operating statements, rent rolls and leasing activity, and information otherwise brought to the attention of the BSPRT Review Team.

A data tape (the “BSPRT Data Tape”) containing detailed information regarding each BSPRT Mortgage Loan was created from the information in the database referred to in the prior paragraph. The BSPRT Data Tape was used to provide the numerical information regarding the BSPRT Mortgage Loans in this prospectus.

Data Validation and Recalculation. The depositor, on behalf of BSPRT engaged a third party accounting firm to perform certain data validation and recalculation procedures designed by BSPRT, relating to information in this prospectus regarding the BSPRT Mortgage Loans. These procedures included:

● comparing the information in the BSPRT Data Tape against various source documents provided by BSPRT that are described under “—Review of BSPRT Mortgage Loans—Database” above;

295 

● comparing numerical information regarding the BSPRT Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties disclosed in this prospectus against the BSPRT Data Tape; and

● recalculating certain percentages, ratios and other formulae relating to the BSPRT Mortgage Loans disclosed in this prospectus.

Legal Review. BSPRT engaged various law firms to conduct certain legal reviews of the BSPRT Mortgage Loans for disclosure in this prospectus. In anticipation of the securitization of each BSPRT Mortgage Loan, BSPRT’s origination counsel prepared a due diligence questionnaire that sets forth salient loan terms. In addition, such origination counsel for each BSPRT Mortgage Loan reviewed BSPRT’s representations and warranties set forth on Annex D-1 and, if applicable, identified exceptions to those representations and warranties.

Legal counsel was also engaged in connection with this securitization to assist in the review of the BSPRT Mortgage Loans. Such assistance included, among other things, (i) a review of BSPRT’s asset summary report and its origination counsel’s due diligence questionnaire for each BSPRT Mortgage Loan, (ii) a review of the representations and warranties and exception reports referred to above relating to the BSPRT Mortgage Loans prepared by origination counsel, and (iii) the review of select provisions in certain loan documents with respect to certain of the BSPRT Mortgage Loans.

Other Review Procedures. With respect to any material pending litigation on the underlying Mortgaged Properties of which BSPRT was aware at the origination of any BSPRT Mortgage Loan, the BSPRT Review Team requested updates from the related borrower, origination counsel and/or borrower’s litigation counsel. BSPRT conducted a search with respect to each borrower under the related BSPRT Mortgage Loan to determine whether it filed for bankruptcy. If the BSPRT Review Team became aware of a significant natural disaster in the vicinity of the Mortgaged Property securing any BSPRT Mortgage Loan, the BSPRT Review Team obtained information on the status of the Mortgaged Property from the related borrower to confirm no material damage to the Mortgaged Property.

The BSPRT Review Team, with the assistance of applicable origination counsel, also reviewed the BSPRT Mortgage Loans to determine whether any BSPRT Mortgage Loan materially deviated from the underwriting guidelines set forth under “—BSPRT’s Underwriting Standards” below. See “—BSPRT’s Underwriting Standards—Exceptions” below.

Findings and Conclusions. Based on the foregoing review procedures, the BSPRT Review Team determined that the disclosure regarding the BSPRT Mortgage Loans in this prospectus is accurate in all material respects. The BSPRT Review Team also determined that the BSPRT Mortgage Loans were originated in accordance with BSPRT’s origination procedures and underwriting criteria, except as described under “—BSPRT’s Underwriting Standards—Exceptions” below. BSPRT attributes to itself all findings and conclusions resulting from the foregoing review procedures.

Review Procedures in the Event of a Mortgage Loan Substitution. BSPRT will perform a review of any mortgage loan that it elects to substitute for a Mortgage Loan in the pool in connection with a material breach of a representation or warranty or a material document defect. BSPRT, and, if appropriate, its legal counsel, will review the mortgage loan documents and servicing history of the substitute mortgage loan to confirm it satisfies each of the criteria required under the terms of the related MLPA and the PSA (collectively, the “Qualification Criteria”). BSPRT will engage a third party accounting firm to compare the Qualification Criteria against the underlying source documentation to verify the accuracy of

296 

the review by BSPRT and to confirm any numerical and/or statistical information to be disclosed in any required filings under the Exchange Act. Legal counsel will also be engaged by BSPRT to render any tax opinion required in connection with the substitution.

BSPRT’s Underwriting Standards

Each of the BSPRT Mortgage Loans was originated or acquired by BSPRT. Set forth below is a discussion of certain general underwriting guidelines and processes with respect to commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans originated or acquired by BSPRT.

Notwithstanding the discussion below, given the unique nature of commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgaged properties, the underwriting and origination procedures and the credit analysis with respect to any particular commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan may significantly differ from one asset to another, and will be driven by circumstances particular to that property, including, among others, its type, current use, size, location, market conditions, reserve requirements and additional collateral, tenants and leases, borrower identity, sponsorship, performance history and/or other factors. Consequently, we cannot assure you that the underwriting of any particular commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan originated or acquired by BSPRT will conform to the general guidelines and processes described below. For important information about the circumstances that have affected the underwriting of particular BSPRT Mortgage Loans, see “—BSPRT’s Underwriting Standards—Exceptions” below and “Annex D-2—Exceptions to Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties”.

Loan Analysis. Generally both a credit analysis and a collateral analysis are conducted with respect to each commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loan. The credit analysis of the borrower generally includes a review of third party credit reports and/or judgment, lien, bankruptcy and pending litigation searches. The collateral analysis generally includes a review of, in each case to the extent available and applicable, the historical property operating statements, rent rolls and certain significant tenant leases. The credit underwriting also generally includes a review of third party appraisals, as well as environmental reports, engineering assessments and seismic reports, if applicable and obtained. Generally, BSPRT also conducts or causes a third party to conduct a site inspection to ascertain the overall quality, functionality and competitiveness of the property, including its neighborhood and market, accessibility and visibility, and to assess the tenancy of the property. The submarket in which the property is located is assessed to evaluate competitive or comparable properties as well as market trends.

Loan Approval. Prior to commitment, each commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loan to be originated or acquired must be approved by a loan committee that includes senior personnel from BSPRT. The committee may approve a mortgage loan as recommended, request additional due diligence, modify the loan terms or decline a loan transaction.

Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Loan-to-Value Ratio. The underwriting includes a calculation of the debt service coverage ratio and loan-to-value ratio. BSPRT’s underwriting standards generally require, without regard to any other debt, a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.20x and a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 75.0%.

A debt service coverage ratio will generally be calculated based on the underwritten net cash flow from the property in question as determined by BSPRT and payments on the loan based on actual (or, in some cases, assumed) principal and/or interest due on the loan.

297 

However, underwritten net cash flow is often a highly subjective number based on a variety of assumptions regarding, and adjustments to, revenues and expenses with respect to the related real property collateral. For example, when calculating the debt service coverage ratio for a commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan, annual net cash flow that was calculated based on assumptions regarding projected future rental income, expenses and/or occupancy may be utilized. There is no assurance that the foregoing assumptions made with respect to any prospective commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan will, in fact, be consistent with actual property performance. Such underwritten net cash flow may be higher than historical net cash flow reflected in recent financial statements. Additionally, certain mortgage loans may provide for only interest payments prior to maturity, or for an interest-only period during a portion of the term of the mortgage loan.

A loan-to-value ratio, in general, is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the then-outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan divided by the estimated value of the related property based on an appraisal.

Additional Debt. Certain mortgage loans may have or permit in the future certain subordinate debt, whether secured or unsecured, and/or mezzanine debt. It is possible that BSPRT or an affiliate may be the lender on that subordinate debt and/or mezzanine debt.

The debt service coverage ratios described above will be lower based on the inclusion of the payments related to such additional debt and the loan-to-value ratios described above will be higher based on the inclusion of the amount of any such subordinate debt and/or mezzanine debt.

Assessments of Property Condition. As part of the underwriting process, the property assessments and reports described below will typically be obtained:

● Appraisals. Independent appraisals or an update of an independent appraisal will generally be required in connection with the origination or acquisition of each mortgage loan that meets the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation, or the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. In some cases, however, the value of the subject real property collateral may be established based on a cash flow analysis, a recent sales price or another method or benchmark of valuation.

● Environmental Assessment. In most cases, a Phase I environmental assessment will be required with respect to the real property collateral for a prospective commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan. However, when circumstances warrant, an update of a prior environmental assessment, a transaction screen or a desktop review may be utilized. Alternatively, in limited circumstances, an environmental assessment may not be required, such as when the benefits of an environmental insurance policy or an environmental guarantee have been obtained. It should be noted that an environmental assessment conducted at any particular real property collateral will not necessarily cover all potential environmental issues. For example, an analysis for radon, lead-based paint, mold and lead in drinking water will usually be conducted only at multifamily rental properties and only if it is believed that such an analysis is warranted under the circumstances. Depending on the findings of the initial environmental assessment, any of the following may be required: additional environmental testing, such as a Phase II environmental assessment with respect to the subject real property collateral; an environmental insurance policy; that the borrower conduct remediation 

298 

activities or establish an operations and maintenance plan; and/or a guaranty or reserve with respect to environmental matters.

● Engineering Assessment. In connection with the origination/acquisition process, in most cases, it will be required that an engineering firm inspect the real property collateral for any prospective commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan to assess the structure, exterior walls, roofing, interior structure and/or mechanical and electrical systems. Based on the resulting report, the appropriate response will be determined to any recommended repairs, corrections or replacements and any identified deferred maintenance.

● Seismic Report. Generally, a seismic report is required for all properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4.

Title Insurance. The borrower is required to provide a title insurance policy for each property. The title insurance policies provided typically must meet the following requirements: (i) written by a title insurer licensed to do business in the jurisdiction where the mortgaged property is located, (ii) in an amount at least equal to the original principal balance of the mortgage loan, (iii) protection and benefits run to the mortgagee and its successors and assigns, (iv) written on an American Land Title Association form or equivalent policy promulgated in the jurisdiction where the mortgaged property is located and (v) if a survey was prepared, the legal description of the mortgaged property in the title policy conforms to that shown on the survey.

Casualty Insurance. Except in certain instances where sole or significant tenants (which may include ground tenants) are required to obtain insurance or may self-insure, BSPRT typically requires that the related mortgaged property be insured by a hazard insurance policy with a customary deductible and in an amount at least equal to the lesser of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan and 100% of the full insurable replacement cost of the improvements located on the property. If applicable, the policy must contain appropriate endorsements to avoid the application of coinsurance and not permit reduction in insurance proceeds for depreciation, except that the policy may permit a deduction for depreciation in connection with a cash settlement after a casualty if the insurance proceeds are not being applied to rebuild or repair the damaged improvements.

Flood insurance, if available, must be in effect for any mortgaged property that at the time of origination or acquisition included material improvements in any area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency a special flood hazard area. The flood insurance policy must meet the requirements of the then-current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration, be provided by a generally acceptable insurance carrier and be in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan, (ii) the full insurable value of the property or, in cases where only a portion of the property is in the flood zone, the full insurable value of the portion of the property contained therein, and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Program Act of 1968, except in some cases where self-insurance was permitted.

The standard form of hazard insurance policy typically covers physical damage or destruction of the improvements on the mortgaged property caused by fire, lightning, explosion, smoke, windstorm and hail, riot or strike and civil commotion. The policies may contain some conditions and exclusions to coverage, including exclusions related to acts of terrorism. Generally, each of the mortgage loans requires that the related property have coverage for terrorism or terrorist acts, if such coverage is available at commercially

299 

reasonable rates. In many cases, there is a cap on the amount that the related borrower will be required to expend on terrorism insurance.

Each mortgage instrument typically also requires the borrower to maintain comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal and bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the property in an amount customarily required by institutional lenders.

Each mortgage instrument typically further requires the related borrower to maintain business interruption or rent loss insurance in an amount not less than 100% of the projected rental income from the related property for not less than twelve months.

Although properties are typically not insured for earthquake risk, a borrower will be required to obtain earthquake insurance if the property has material improvements and the seismic report indicates that the PML or the scenario expected loss (“SEL”) is greater than 20%.

Zoning and Building Code Compliance. In connection with the origination or acquisition of a commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan, BSPRT will generally examine whether the use and occupancy and construction of the related real property collateral is in material compliance with zoning, land-use, building rules, regulations and orders then applicable to that property. Evidence of this compliance may be in the form of one or more of the following: legal opinions, surveys, recorded documents, temporary or permanent certificates of occupancy, letters from government officials or agencies, title insurance endorsements, engineering or consulting reports, zoning reports and/or representations by the related borrower.

In some cases, a mortgaged property may constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure. In such cases, BSPRT may require an endorsement to the title insurance policy or the acquisition of law and ordinance insurance with respect to the particular non-conformity unless it determines that: (i) the non-conformity should not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the borrower to rebuild; (ii) if the improvements are rebuilt in accordance with currently applicable law, the value and performance of the property would be acceptable; (iii) any major casualty that would prevent rebuilding has a sufficiently remote likelihood of occurring or BSPRT has a reasonable likelihood of recovering approximately 75% of proceeds from the casualty; or (iv) a cash reserve, a letter of credit or an agreement from a principal of the borrower is provided to cover losses.

If a material violation exists with respect to a mortgaged property, BSPRT may require the borrower to remediate such violation and, subject to the discussion under “—BSPRT’s Underwriting Standards —Escrow Requirements” below, to establish a reserve to cover the cost of such remediation, unless a cash reserve, a letter of credit or an agreement from a principal of the borrower is provided to cover losses.

Escrow Requirements. Based on BSPRT’s analysis of the real property collateral, the borrower and the principals of the borrower, a borrower under a commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan may be required to fund various escrows for taxes, insurance, replacement reserves, tenant improvements/leasing commissions, deferred maintenance and/or environmental remediation. A case-by-case analysis will be conducted to determine the need for a particular escrow or reserve. Consequently, the aforementioned escrows and reserves are not established for every commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loan. Furthermore, BSPRT may accept an alternative to a cash escrow or reserve from a borrower, such as a letter of credit or a guarantee from the borrower or an affiliate of the borrower or periodic evidence that the

300 

items for which the escrow or reserve would have been established are being paid or addressed. In some cases, BSPRT may determine that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and BSPRT’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the subject expense or cost absent creation of an escrow or reserve. In some cases, BSPRT may determine that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted because a tenant or other third party has agreed to pay the subject cost or expense for which the escrow or reserve would otherwise have been established.

Generally, subject to the discussion in the prior paragraph, the required escrows for commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans originated or acquired by BSPRT are as follows:

● Taxes—Monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12^th of the annual property taxes (based on the most recent property assessment and the current millage rate) are typically required to satisfy real estate taxes and assessments, except that such escrows may not be required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if there is an institutional property sponsor or high net worth individual property sponsor, or (ii) if and to the extent that a sole or major tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property is required to pay, or there is sufficient evidence that such sole or major tenant is paying, taxes directly.

● Insurance—Monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12^th of the annual property insurance premium are typically required to pay insurance premiums, except that such escrows may not be required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if there is an institutional property sponsor or high net worth individual property sponsor, (ii) if the related borrower maintains a blanket insurance policy, or (iii) if and to the extent that a sole or major tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property is obligated to maintain, or there is sufficient evidence that such sole or major tenant is maintaining, the insurance or is permitted to self-insure.

● Replacement Reserves—Replacement reserves are generally calculated in accordance with the expected useful life of the components of the property during the term of the mortgage loan. Annual replacement reserves are generally underwritten to the suggested replacement reserve amount from an independent, third-party property condition or engineering report, or to certain minimum requirements by property type, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if a tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property or other third party is responsible for all repairs and maintenance, or (ii) if BSPRT determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and BSPRT’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the cost of repairs and maintenance absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

● Tenant Improvements / Leasing Commissions—In the case of retail, office and industrial properties, a tenant improvements / leasing commissions reserve may be required to be funded either at loan origination and/or during the related mortgage loan term to cover certain anticipated leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs which might be associated with re-leasing the space occupied by significant tenants, except that such escrows may not be required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the related tenant’s lease extends beyond the loan

301 

term, (ii) if the rent for the space in question is considered below market, or (iii) if BSPRT determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and BSPRT’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the anticipated leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

● Deferred Maintenance—A deferred maintenance reserve may be required to be funded at loan origination or acquisition in an amount typically equal to 100% to 125% of the estimated cost of material immediate repairs or replacements identified in the property condition or engineering report, except that such escrows may not be required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the sponsor of the borrower delivers a guarantee to complete the immediate repairs in a specified amount of time, (ii) if the deferred maintenance amount does not materially impact the function, performance or value of the property, (iii) if a tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property or other third party is responsible for the repairs, or (iv) if BSPRT determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and BSPRT’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the cost of repairs absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

● Environmental Remediation—An environmental remediation reserve may be required at loan origination or acquisition in an amount equal to 100% to 125% of the estimated remediation cost identified in the environmental report, except that such escrows may not be required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the sponsor of the borrower delivers a guarantee agreeing to take responsibility and pay for the identified environmental issues, (ii) if environmental insurance is obtained or already in place, (iii) if a third party unrelated to the borrower is identified as the responsible party or (iv) if BSPRT determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and BSPRT’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the cost of remediation absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

For a description of the escrows collected with respect to the BSPRT Mortgage Loans, see Annex A-1.

Exceptions. The BSPRT Mortgage Loans were originated in accordance with the underwriting standards set forth above.

Retained Interests in This Securitization

As of the Closing Date, neither BSPRT nor any of its affiliates will retain any certificates issued by the issuing entity or any other economic interest in this securitization. BSPRT and its affiliates may, from time to time after the initial sale of the certificates to investors on

302

The information set forth under “—BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC” has been provided by BSPRT.

The Depositor

Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., a North Carolina corporation, is the depositor. The depositor is a special purpose corporation incorporated in the State of North Carolina in 1988, for the purpose of engaging in the business, among other things, of acquiring and depositing mortgage loans in trust in exchange for certificates evidencing interest in such trusts and selling or otherwise distributing such certificates. The depositor is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo Bank, a sponsor, an originator, a mortgage loan seller, the master servicer, the certificate administrator, the tax administrator, the custodian and the certificate registrar and an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, one of the underwriters. See “Certain Affiliations, Relationships and Related Transactions Involving Transaction Parties” below.

The depositor will have minimal ongoing duties with respect to the certificates and the Mortgage Loans. The depositor’s duties will include, without limitation, (i) appointing a successor trustee in the event of the resignation or removal of the trustee, (ii) providing information in its possession with respect to the certificates to the tax administrator to the extent necessary to perform REMIC tax administration, (iii) indemnifying the trustee, the tax administrator and the issuing entity for any liability, assessment or costs arising from the depositor’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in providing such information, (iv) indemnifying the trustee and the tax administrator against certain securities law liabilities, and (v) signing or contracting with the master servicer, signing any Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the certification required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and any Distribution Reports on Form 10-D and Current Reports on Form 8-K required to be filed by the issuing entity. The depositor is also required under the underwriting agreement to indemnify the underwriters for certain securities law liabilities.

The depositor purchases commercial mortgage loans and interests in commercial mortgage loans for the purpose of selling those assets to trusts created in connection with the securitization of pools of assets and does not engage in any activities unrelated to those securitizations. On the Closing Date, the depositor will acquire the Mortgage Loans from each mortgage loan seller and will simultaneously transfer them, without recourse, to the trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

The depositor remains responsible under the PSA for providing the master servicer, special servicer, certificate administrator and trustee with certain information and other assistance requested by those parties and reasonably necessary to performing their duties under the PSA. The depositor also remains responsible for mailing notices to the Certificateholders upon the appointment of certain successor entities under the PSA.

The Issuing Entity

The issuing entity, Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2018-C48 (the “Trust”), will be a New York common law trust, formed on the Closing Date pursuant to the PSA.

The only activities that the issuing entity may perform are those set forth in the PSA, which are generally limited to owning and administering the Mortgage Loans and any REO Property, disposing of defaulted mortgage loans and REO Property, issuing the certificates,

303 

making distributions, providing reports to Certificateholders and other activities described in this prospectus. Accordingly, the issuing entity may not issue securities other than the certificates, or invest in securities, other than investing of funds in the Collection Account and other accounts maintained under the PSA in certain short-term permitted investments. The issuing entity may not lend or borrow money, except that the master servicer and the trustee may make Advances of delinquent monthly debt service payments and they and the special servicer may make Servicing Advances to the issuing entity, but only to the extent it does not deem such Advances to be nonrecoverable from the related mortgage loan; such Advances are intended to provide liquidity, rather than credit support. The PSA may be amended as set forth under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Amendment”. The issuing entity administers the Mortgage Loans through the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer and the special servicer. A discussion of the duties of the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer and the special servicer, including any discretionary activities performed by each of them, is set forth in this prospectus under “Transaction Parties—The Trustee”, “―The Certificate Administrator”, “—The Master Servicer” and “—The Special Servicer” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”.

The only assets of the issuing entity other than the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties are the Collection Account and other accounts maintained pursuant to the PSA, the short-term investments in which funds in the Collection Account and other accounts are invested. The issuing entity has no present liabilities, but has potential liability relating to ownership of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties and certain other activities described in this prospectus, and indemnity obligations to the trustee, the certificate administrator, the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer and the operating advisor. The fiscal year of the issuing entity is the calendar year. The issuing entity has no executive officers or board of directors and acts through the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer and the special servicer.

The depositor will be contributing the Mortgage Loans to the issuing entity. The depositor will be purchasing the Mortgage Loans from the mortgage loan sellers, as described under “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements” in this prospectus.

The Trustee

Wilmington Trust, National Association (“WTNA”) (formerly called M & T Bank, National Association) will act as trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders pursuant to the PSA. WTNA is a national banking association with trust powers incorporated in 1995. The trustee’s principal place of business is located at 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890. WTNA is an affiliate of Wilmington Trust Company and both WTNA and Wilmington Trust Company are subsidiaries of Wilmington Trust Corporation and Wilmington Trust Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of M&T Bank Corporation. Since 1998, Wilmington Trust Company has served as trustee in numerous asset-backed securities transactions. As of June 30, 2018, WTNA served as trustee on over 1,655 mortgage-backed related securities transactions having an aggregate original principal balance in excess of $306 billion, of which approximately 388 transactions were commercial mortgage-backed securities transactions having an aggregate original principal balance of approximately $252 billion.

The transaction parties may maintain banking and other commercial relationships with WTNA and its affiliates. In its capacity as trustee on commercial mortgage securitizations, WTNA and its affiliates are generally required to make an advance if the related servicer or special servicer fails to make a required advance. In the past three years, WTNA and its

304 

affiliates have not been required to make an advance on a commercial mortgage-backed securities transaction.

WTNA is subject to various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. WTNA does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its services as trustee for this transaction.

The information set forth under this sub-heading has been provided by WTNA. None of the depositor, the underwriters or any other person, other than WTNA, makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information.

The responsibilities of the trustee are set forth in the PSA. A discussion of the role of the trustee and its continuing duties, including: 1) any actions required by the trustee, including whether notices are required to investors, rating agencies or other third parties, upon an event of default, potential event of default (and how defined) or other breach of a transaction covenant and any required percentage of a class or classes of asset-backed securities that is needed to require the trustee to take action, 2) limitations on the trustee’s liability under the transaction agreements regarding the asset-backed securities transaction, 3) any indemnification provisions that entitle the trustee to be indemnified from the cash flow that otherwise would be used to pay the asset-backed securities, and 4) any contractual provisions or understandings regarding the trustee’s removal, replacement or resignation, as well as how the expenses associated with changing from one trustee to another trustee will be paid, is set forth in this prospectus under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”. In its capacity as trustee on commercial mortgage loan securitizations, WTNA and its affiliates are generally required to make an advance if the related servicer or special servicer fails to make a required advance. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Advances” in this prospectus.

For a description of any material affiliations, relationships and related transactions between the trustee and the other transaction parties, see “Certain Affiliations, Relationships and Related Transactions Involving Transaction Parties” in this prospectus.

The trustee will only be liable under the PSA to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by the PSA. For further information regarding the duties, responsibilities, rights and obligations of the trustee under the PSA, including those related to indemnification, see “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Limitation on Liability; Indemnification”. Certain terms of the PSA regarding the trustee’s removal, replacement or resignation are described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Resignation and Removal of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator” in this prospectus.

The Certificate Administrator

Wells Fargo Bank will act as certificate administrator, REMIC administrator, certificate registrar, and custodian under the PSA. The certificate administrator will also be the REMIC administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider under the PSA.

Wells Fargo Bank is a national banking association and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company. A diversified financial services company, Wells Fargo & Company is a U.S. bank holding company with approximately $1.9 trillion in assets and approximately 265,000 employees as of June 30, 2018, which provides banking, insurance, trust, mortgage and consumer finance services throughout the United States and internationally. Wells Fargo Bank provides retail and commercial banking services and corporate trust, custody, securities lending, securities transfer, cash management, investment management

305 

and other financial and fiduciary services. The depositor, the sponsors, the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer and the mortgage loan sellers may maintain banking and other commercial relationships with Wells Fargo Bank and its affiliates. Wells Fargo Bank maintains principal corporate trust offices at 9062 Old Annapolis Road, Columbia, Maryland 21045 (among other locations) and its office for certificate transfer services is located at 600 South 4th Street, 7th floor, MAC: N9300-070, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479.

Under the terms of the PSA, Wells Fargo Bank is responsible for securities administration, which includes pool performance calculations, distribution calculations and related distributions to Certificateholders and the preparation of monthly distribution reports. As certificate administrator, Wells Fargo Bank is responsible for the preparation and filing of all REMIC tax returns on behalf of the Trust REMICs and the preparation of monthly reports on Form 10-D, certain current reports on Form 8-K and annual reports on Form 10-K that are required to be filed with the SEC on behalf of the issuing entity. Wells Fargo Bank has been engaged in the business of securities administration since June 30, 1995, and in connection with commercial mortgage-backed securities since 1997. As of June 30, 2018, Wells Fargo Bank was acting as securities administrator with respect to more than $459 billion of outstanding commercial mortgage-backed securities.

Wells Fargo Bank is acting as custodian (the “Custodian”) of the mortgage files pursuant to and subject to the PSA. In that capacity, Wells Fargo Bank is responsible to hold and safeguard the mortgage notes and other contents of the mortgage files on behalf of the trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Wells Fargo Bank maintains each mortgage file in a separate file folder marked with a unique bar code to assure loan-level file integrity and to assist in inventory management. Files are segregated by transaction or investor. Wells Fargo Bank has been engaged in the mortgage document custody business for more than 25 years. Wells Fargo Bank maintains its commercial document custody facilities in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As of June 30, 2018, Wells Fargo Bank was acting as custodian of more than 260,000 commercial mortgage files.

Wells Fargo Bank serves or may have served within the past two years as loan file custodian for various mortgage loans owned by a sponsor or an affiliate of a sponsor, and one or more of those mortgage loans may be included in the Trust. The terms of any custodial agreement under which those services are provided by Wells Fargo Bank are customary for the mortgage-backed securitization industry and provide for the delivery, receipt, review and safekeeping of mortgage loan files.

For three CMBS transactions in its portfolio, the Corporate Trust Services Group of Wells Fargo Bank disclosed material noncompliance on its related 2017 Annual Statement of Compliance furnished pursuant to Item 1123 of Regulation AB to the required recipients for such transactions. For one CMBS transaction, an administrative error caused an underpayment to certain classes and a correlating overpayment to certain classes on one distribution date in 2017. The affected distributions were revised to correct the error before the next distribution date. For the second CMBS transaction, an administrative error resulted in certain holders of definitive certificates not receiving a distribution on one distribution date in 2017. The error was corrected when the required distributions were made the next day. For the third CMBS transaction, required distributions for one distribution date in 2017 were made eight days late as a result of an inadvertent payment systems error.

Since June 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors have filed civil complaints in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and later the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Wells Fargo Bank in its capacity as trustee for

306 

certain residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts. The complaints against Wells Fargo Bank alleged that the trustee caused losses to investors and asserted causes of action based upon, among other things, the trustee’s alleged failure to: (i) notify and enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties, (ii) notify investors of alleged events of default, and (iii) abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Relief sought included money damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement of expenses, and equitable relief. Wells Fargo Bank has reached an agreement, in which it denies any wrongdoing, to resolve these claims on a classwide basis for the 271 RMBS trusts currently at issue. The settlement agreement is subject to court approval. Separate lawsuits against Wells Fargo Bank making similar allegations filed by certain other institutional investors concerning 58 RMBS trusts in New York federal and state court are not covered by the agreement. In September 2017, Royal Park Investments SA/NV (“Royal Park”), one of the plaintiffs with respect to two trusts in the remaining cases, filed a putative class action complaint seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and money damages based on Wells Fargo Bank’s indemnification from trust funds for legal fees and expenses Wells Fargo Bank incurs or has incurred in defending the case filed by Royal Park. With respect to the foregoing litigations, Wells Fargo Bank believes plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and intends to contest the claims vigorously, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome of the litigations or the possible impact of the litigations on Wells Fargo Bank or the RMBS trusts.

As of the Closing Date, neither Wells Fargo Bank nor any of its affiliates will retain any certificates issued by the issuing entity or any other economic interest in this securitization. However, Wells Fargo Bank or its affiliates may, from time to time after the initial sale of the certificates to investors on the Closing Date, acquire certificates pursuant to secondary market transactions. Any such party will have the right to dispose of any such certificates at any time.

The foregoing information set forth under this heading “—The Certificate Administrator” has been provided by Wells Fargo Bank.

For a description of any material affiliations, relationships and related transactions between the certificate administrator and the other transaction parties, see “Certain Affiliations, Relationships and Related Transactions Involving Transaction Parties”.

The certificate administrator will only be liable under the PSA to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by the PSA. For further information regarding the duties, responsibilities, rights and obligations of the certificate administrator under the PSA, including those related to indemnification, see “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Limitation on Liability; Indemnification”. Certain terms of the PSA regarding the certificate administrator’s removal, replacement or resignation are described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Resignation and Removal of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator” in this prospectus.

The properties securing loans in Wells Fargo Bank’s special servicing portfolio may include retail, office, multifamily, industrial, hospitality and other types of income-producing property. As a result, such properties, depending on their location and/or other specific circumstances, may compete with the mortgaged real properties for tenants, purchasers, financing and so forth.

Wells Fargo Bank has developed strategies and procedures as special servicer for working with borrowers on problem loans (caused by delinquencies, bankruptcies or other breaches of the mortgage loan documents) to maximize the value from the assets for the benefit of certificateholders. Wells Fargo Bank’s strategies and procedures vary on a case by case basis, and include, but are not limited to, liquidation of the underlying collateral, note sales, discounted payoffs, and borrower negotiation or workout in accordance with the applicable servicing standard, the mortgage loan documents and applicable law, rule and regulation.

Wells Fargo Bank is rated or ranked by Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) and Morningstar Credit Ratings, LLC (“Morningstar”) as a primary servicer, a master

Wells Fargo Bank has developed policies, procedures and controls relating to its servicing functions to maintain compliance with applicable servicing agreements and servicing standards, including procedures for handling delinquent loans during the period prior to the occurrence of a special servicing transfer event. Wells Fargo Bank’s master servicing and special servicing policies and procedures are updated periodically to keep pace with the changes in the commercial mortgage-backed securities industry and have been generally consistent for the last three years in all material respects. The only significant changes in Wells Fargo Bank’s policies and procedures have come in response to changes in federal or state law or investor requirements, such as updates issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.

Wells Fargo Bank may perform any of its obligations under the PSA through one or more third-party vendors, affiliates or subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Wells Fargo Bank, as the master servicer, will remain responsible for its duties under the PSA. Wells Fargo Bank may engage third-party vendors to provide technology or process efficiencies. Wells Fargo Bank monitors its third-party vendors in compliance with its internal procedures and applicable law. Wells Fargo Bank has entered into contracts with third-party vendors for the following functions:

● provision of Strategy and Strategy CS software;

● audit services;

● tracking and reporting of flood zone changes;

● abstracting of leasing consent requirements contained in loan documents;

● legal representation;

● assembly of data regarding buyer and seller (borrower) with respect to proposed loan assumptions and preparation and underwriting of loan assumption package for review by Wells Fargo Bank;

● performance of property inspections;

● performance of tax parcel searches based on property legal description, monitoring and reporting of delinquent taxes, and collection and payment of taxes;

● Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) searches and filings;

● insurance tracking and compliance;

● onboarding-new loan setup;

311 

● lien release-filing & tracking;

● credit investigation & background checks; and

● defeasance calculations.

Wells Fargo Bank may also enter into agreements with certain firms to act as a primary servicer and to provide cashiering or non-cashiering sub-servicing on the Mortgage Loans. Wells Fargo Bank monitors and reviews the performance of sub-servicers appointed by it. Generally, all amounts received by Wells Fargo Bank on the Mortgage Loans will initially be deposited into a common clearing account with collections on other mortgage loans serviced by Wells Fargo Bank and will then be allocated and transferred to the appropriate account as described in this prospectus. On the day any amount is to be disbursed by Wells Fargo Bank, that amount is transferred to a common disbursement account prior to disbursement. Wells Fargo Bank’s responsibilities as special servicer under servicing agreements typically do not include collection on the pool assets. However, Wells Fargo Bank maintains certain operating accounts with respect to REO properties in accordance with the terms of the applicable servicing agreement and the applicable servicing standard.

In its capacity as the master servicer, Wells Fargo Bank will not have primary responsibility for custody services of original documents evidencing the Mortgage Loans. On occasion, Wells Fargo Bank may have custody of certain of such documents as are necessary for enforcement actions involving the Mortgage Loans or otherwise. To the extent Wells Fargo Bank performs custodial functions as a servicer, documents will be maintained in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard.

A Wells Fargo Bank proprietary website (www.wellsfargo.com/com/comintro) provides investors with access to investor reports for commercial mortgage-backed securitization transactions for which Wells Fargo Bank is master servicer, and also provides borrowers with access to current and historical loan and property information for these transactions.

Wells Fargo & Company files reports with the SEC as required under the Exchange Act. Such reports include information regarding Wells Fargo Bank and may be obtained at the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

There are no legal proceedings pending against Wells Fargo Bank, or to which any property of Wells Fargo Bank is subject, that are material to the Certificateholders, nor does Wells Fargo Bank have actual knowledge of any proceedings of this type contemplated by governmental authorities.

As of the Closing Date, neither Wells Fargo Bank nor any of its affiliates will retain any certificates issued by the issuing entity or any other economic interest in this securitization. However, Wells Fargo Bank or its affiliates may, from time to time after the initial sale of the certificates to investors on the Closing Date, acquire certificates pursuant to secondary market transactions. Any such party will have the right to dispose of any such certificates at any time.

The foregoing information set forth under this sub-heading regarding Wells Fargo Bank has been provided by Wells Fargo Bank.

The Special Servicer

LNR Partners, LLC (“LNR Partners”), a Florida limited liability company and a subsidiary of Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (“STWD”), a Maryland corporation, will initially be appointed to act as special servicer for the Mortgage Loans to be deposited into the issuing entity (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (except as described in this prospectus) and any Excluded Special Servicer Loan). The principal executive offices of LNR Partners are located at 1601 Washington Avenue, Suite 700, Miami Beach, Florida 33139 and its telephone number is (305) 695-5600.

LNR Partners and its affiliates have substantial experience in working out loans and in performing the other obligations of the special servicer as more particularly described in the PSA, including, but not limited to, processing borrower requests for lender consent to assumptions, leases, easements, partial releases and expansion and/or redevelopment of the mortgaged properties. LNR Partners and its affiliates have been engaged in the special servicing of commercial real estate assets for over 22 years. The number of commercial mortgage backed securitization pools specially serviced by LNR Partners and its affiliates has increased from 46 in December 1998 to 173 as of September 30, 2018. More

As of September 30, 2018, LNR Partners has resolved approximately $75.2 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily loans over the past 22 years, including approximately $1.1 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2001, $1.9 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2002, $1.5 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2003, $2.1 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2004, $2.4 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2005, $0.9 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2006, $1.4 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2007, $1.0 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2008, $1.2 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2009, $7.7 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2010, $10.9 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2011, $11.7 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2012, $6.5 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2013, $6.3 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2014, approximately $6 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2015, approximately $3.9 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans through December 31, 2016, $4.5 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans through December 31, 2017, and approximately $4.1 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans through September 30, 2018.

STWD or one of its affiliates generally seeks CMBS investments where it has the right to appoint LNR Partners as the special servicer. LNR Partners and its affiliates have regional offices located across the country in Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, California, New York and North Carolina. As of September 30, 2018, LNR Partners and its affiliates specially service a portfolio, which included approximately 5,659 assets across the United States and various international properties with a then-current face value of approximately $78.6 billion, all of which are commercial real estate assets. Those commercial real estate assets include mortgage loans secured by the same types of income producing properties as secure the mortgage loans backing the Certificates. Accordingly, the assets of LNR Partners and its affiliates may, depending upon the particular circumstances, including the nature and location of such assets, compete with the mortgaged real properties securing the underlying mortgage loans for tenants, purchasers, financing and so forth. LNR Partners does not service any assets other than commercial real estate assets.

LNR Partners maintains internal and external watch lists, corresponds with master servicers on a monthly basis and conducts overall deal surveillance and shadow servicing. LNR Partners has developed distinct strategies and procedures for working with borrowers on problem loans (caused by delinquencies, bankruptcies or other breaches of the loan documents) designed to maximize value from the assets for the benefit of the certificateholders. These strategies and procedures vary on a case by case basis, and include, but are not limited to, liquidation of the underlying collateral, note sales, discounted payoffs, and borrower negotiation or workout in accordance with the applicable servicing standard. Generally, four basic factors are considered by LNR Partners as part of its analysis and determination of what strategies and procedures to utilize in connection with problem loans. They are (i) the condition and type of mortgaged property, (ii) the borrower, (iii) the jurisdiction in which the mortgaged property is located and (iv) the actual terms, conditions and provisions of the underlying loan documents. After each of these items is evaluated and considered, LNR Partners’ strategy is guided by the servicing standard and all relevant provisions of the applicable pooling and servicing agreement pertaining to specially serviced and REO mortgage loans.

LNR Partners has the highest ratings afforded to special servicers by S&P and is rated “CSS1-” by Fitch.

315 

There have not been, during the past three years, any material changes to the policies or procedures of LNR Partners in the servicing function it will perform under the PSA for assets of the same type included in this securitization transaction. LNR Partners has not engaged, and currently does not have any plans to engage, any sub-servicers to perform on its behalf any of its duties with respect to this securitization transaction. LNR Partners does not believe that its financial condition will have any adverse effect on the performance of its duties under the PSA and, accordingly, will not have any material impact on the Mortgage Pool performance or the performance of the Certificates. Generally, LNR Partners’ servicing functions under pooling and servicing agreements do not include collection on the pool assets, however LNR Partners does maintain certain operating accounts with respect to REO mortgage loans in accordance with the terms of the applicable pooling and servicing agreements and consistent with the servicing standard set forth in each of such pooling and servicing agreements. LNR Partners does not have any material advancing obligations with respect to the commercial mortgage backed securitization pools as to which it acts as special servicer. Generally, LNR Partners has the right, but not the obligation, to make property related servicing advances in emergency situations with respect to commercial mortgage backed securitization pools as to which it acts as special servicer.

LNR Partners will not have primary responsibility for custody services of original documents evidencing the underlying mortgage loans. On occasion, LNR Partners may have custody of certain of such documents as necessary for enforcement actions involving particular mortgage loans or otherwise. To the extent that LNR Partners has custody of any such documents, such documents will be maintained in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard.

No securitization transaction involving commercial or multifamily mortgage loans in which LNR Partners was acting as special servicer has experienced an event of default as a result of any action or inaction by LNR Partners as special servicer. LNR Partners has not been terminated as servicer in a commercial mortgage loan securitization, either due to a servicing default or to application of a servicing performance test or trigger. In addition, there has been no previous disclosure of material noncompliance with servicing criteria by LNR Partners with respect to any other securitization transaction involving commercial or multifamily mortgage loans in which LNR Partners was acting as special servicer.

There are, to the actual current knowledge of LNR Partners, no special or unique factors of a material nature involved in special servicing the particular types of assets included in the subject securitization, as compared to the types of assets specially serviced by LNR Partners in other commercial mortgage backed securitization pools generally, for which LNR Partners has developed processes and procedures which materially differ from the processes and procedures employed by LNR Partners in connection with its special servicing of commercial mortgaged backed securitization pools generally.

There are currently no legal proceedings pending, and no legal proceedings known to be contemplated, by governmental authorities, against LNR Partners or of which any of its property is the subject, that are material to the Certificateholders.

In the commercial mortgage backed securitizations in which LNR Partners acts as special servicer, LNR Partners may enter into one or more arrangements with any party entitled to appoint or remove and replace the special servicer to provide for a discount and/or revenue sharing with respect to certain of the special servicer compensation in consideration of, among other things, LNR Partners’ appointment as special servicer under the applicable servicing agreement and limitations on such person’s right to replace LNR Partners as the special servicer.

Except as disclosed in this prospectus and except for LNR Partners acting as special servicer for this securitization transaction, under the Benchmark 2018-B7 PSA and being expected to act as special servicer under the BBCMS 2018-C2 PSA, there are no specific relationships that are material involving or relating to this securitization transaction or the Mortgage Loans between LNR Partners or any of its affiliates, on the one hand, and the issuing entity, the sponsors, the trustee, the certificate administrator, any originator, any significant obligor, the master servicer, the operating advisor or the asset representations reviewer, on the other hand, that currently exist or that existed during the past two years. In addition, other than as disclosed in this prospectus, there are no business relationships, agreements, arrangements, transactions or understandings that have been entered into outside the ordinary course of business or on terms other than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with an unrelated third party – apart from this securitization transaction – between LNR Partners or any of its affiliates, on the one hand, and the issuing entity, the sponsors, the trustee, the certificate administrator, any originator, any significant obligor, the master servicer, the operating advisor or the asset representations reviewer, on the other hand, that currently exist or that existed during the past two years and that are material to an investor’s understanding of the certificates.

LNR Partners assisted Argentic Securities Holdings Cayman Limited (or its affiliate), which is expected to purchase the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class H-RR and Class V certificates and Argentic Securities Income USA LLC or an affiliate is expected to be appointed as the initial directing certificateholder, with due diligence relating to the mortgage loans to be included in the mortgage pool.

Except for fees and additional special servicing compensation under the PSA, neither LNR Partners nor any of its affiliates will retain any economic interest in this securitization as of the Closing Date, including without limitation any certificates issued by the issuing entity. However, from time to time after the initial sale of the certificates to investors on the Closing Date, each of LNR Partners and its affiliates will be entitled at their discretion to acquire certificates issued by the issuing entity pursuant to secondary market transactions, and in each such case will have the right to dispose of any such certificates at any time

Credit Risk Retention

General

This transaction is required to comply with the risk retention requirements of Section 15G of the Exchange Act (the “Credit Risk Retention Rules”) as they relate to commercial mortgage-backed securities. Argentic will act as the “retaining sponsor” (as defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules, the “Retaining Sponsor”), and is expected to satisfy its risk retention requirement initially through the purchase by its “majority-owned affiliate” (as defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules and referred to herein as the “Retaining Party”), which is expected to be Argentic Securities Holdings Cayman Limited, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability, of the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class H-RR certificates (collectively, the “Horizontal Risk Retention Certificates”), with an aggregate initial Certificate Balance of approximately $79,690,944 and representing approximately 5.02% (the “Horizontal Risk Retention Percentage”) of the aggregate fair value of the certificates (other than the Class R certificates) as of the Closing Date, determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The Horizontal Risk Retention Certificates will constitute an “eligible horizontal residual interest” (as such term is defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules).

While the Retaining Sponsor will initially satisfy its risk retention requirements through the purchase by the Retaining Party of the Horizontal Risk Retention Certificates, the Retaining Sponsor is permitted under the Credit Risk Retention Rules under certain circumstances to transfer the Horizontal Risk Retention Certificates to a “third-party purchaser” (as defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules) (any such party, a “Third-Party Purchaser”) at any time on or after December 20, 2023. Any such transfer will be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable provisions under the Credit Risk Retention Rules. See “—Hedging, Transfer and Financing Restrictions” below.

The Horizontal Risk Retention Percentage, as noted in the second preceding paragraph, will equal at least 5.0% of the aggregate fair value of all the certificates (other than the Class R certificates) as of the Closing Date.

None of the sponsors, the depositor or any other party to the transaction intends to retain a material net economic interest in the securitization constituted by the issue of the offered certificates in accordance with the EU Risk Retention and Due Diligence Requirements or to take any other action which may be required by EEA-regulated investors for the purposes of their compliance with the EU Risk Retention and Due Diligence requirements or similar requirements. See “Risk Factors—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Legal and Regulatory Provisions Affecting Investors Could Adversely Affect the Liquidity of the Offered Certificates”.

Notwithstanding any references in this prospectus to the Credit Risk Retention Rules, the Retaining Sponsor, the Retaining Party and other risk retention related matters, in the event the Credit Risk Retention Rules (or any relevant portion thereof) are repealed or determined by applicable regulatory agencies to be no longer applicable to this securitization transaction, none of the Retaining Sponsor, the Retaining Party or any other party will be required to comply with or act in accordance with the Credit Risk Retention Rules (or such relevant portion thereof).

320 

Qualifying CRE Loans

The Retaining Sponsor has determined that 0.0% of the Initial Pool Balance (the “Qualifying CRE Loan Percentage”) is comprised of mortgage loans that are “qualifying CRE loans” as such term is described in §___.17 of the Credit Risk Retention Rules.

The total required credit risk retention percentage (the “Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage”) for this transaction is 5.0%. The Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage is equal to the product of (i) 1 minus the Qualifying CRE Loan Percentage (expressed as a decimal) and (ii) 5%; subject to a minimum Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage of no less than 2.50% if the issuing entity includes any non-qualifying CRE loans.

Retaining Party

It is anticipated that on the closing date, Argentic Securities Holdings Cayman Limited, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability (“ASH”), a majority-owned affiliate of Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC (the “Retaining Sponsor”), a Delaware limited company will purchase for cash the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class H-RR Certificates.

ASH was formed primarily to invest in junior tranches of commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS B-piece Securities”). As of September 30, 2018, ASH and its subsidiaries have made 12 purchases of CMBS B-piece Securities.

ASH is managed by Argentic Investment Management LLC (“Argentic Investment Management”). Argentic Investment Management is an experienced commercial real estate debt investor. Certain senior members of Argentic Investment Management’s real estate credit team have over 20 years of CMBS experience as of September 30, 2018. Investment vehicles managed by Argentic Investment Management have made investments in fixed and floating rate whole loans, subordinate debt, preferred equity and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

ASH and Argentic Investment Management are affiliates of the Retaining Sponsor, which is a sponsor, a mortgage loan seller and an originator.

As of the date of this prospectus, there are no material differences between (a) the valuation methodology or any of the key inputs and assumptions that were used in calculating the fair value or range of fair values disclosed in the preliminary prospectus under the heading “Credit Risk Retention” prior to the pricing of the certificates and the Retained Interest and (b) the valuation methodology or the key inputs and assumptions that were used in calculating the fair value set forth above under this “Credit Risk Retention” section.

A reasonable time after the Closing Date, the Retaining Sponsor will be required to disclose to, or cause to be disclosed to, Certificateholders the following: (a) the fair value of the Horizontal Risk Retention Certificates that will be retained by the Retaining Party based on actual sale prices and finalized tranche sizes, (b) the fair value of the “eligible horizontal residual interest” (as such term is defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules) that the Retaining Sponsor would have been required to retain under the Credit Risk Retention Rules, and (c) to the extent the valuation methodology or any of the key inputs and assumptions that were used in calculating the fair value or range of fair values disclosed in the preliminary prospectus under the heading “—Determination of Amount of Required Horizontal Credit Risk Retention” prior to the pricing of the certificates materially differs from the methodology or key inputs and assumptions used to calculate the fair value at the time of the Closing Date, descriptions of those material differences. Any such notice disclosures are expected to be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K on, or a reasonable period after, the Closing Date.

Material Terms of the Eligible Horizontal Residual Interest

On any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount available for distributions from the Mortgage Loans, net of specified servicing and administrative costs and expenses, will be distributed to the certificates in sequential order in accordance with their respective principal and interest entitlements (beginning with the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D certificates), in each case as set forth under “Description of the Certificates—Available Funds—Priority of Distributions”.

See “Description of the Certificates—Available Funds—Priority of Distributions” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder”.

For a description of other material payment terms of the Classes of Horizontal Risk Retention Certificates identified in the table above in “—General”, see “Description of the Certificates”.

Hedging, Transfer and Financing Restrictions

The Retaining Party will be required to comply with the hedging, transfer and financing restrictions applicable to a “retaining sponsor” under the Credit Risk Retention Rules.

These restrictions will include an agreement by the Retaining Party not to transfer the Horizontal Risk Retention Certificates (except to a majority-owned affiliate) until December 20, 2023. On and after that date, the Retaining Party may transfer the eligible horizontal residual interest to a Third-Party Purchaser as long as the Retaining Party satisfies all applicable provisions of the Credit Risk Retention Rules, including providing the sponsors with complete identifying information for the Third-Party Purchaser and the Third-Party Purchaser agreeing to comply with the hedging, transfer, financing and other restrictions applicable to subsequent third-party purchasers (and their affiliates) under the Credit Risk Retention Rules.

The restrictions on hedging and transfer under the Credit Risk Retention Rules as in effect on the Closing Date of this transaction will expire on and after the date that is the latest of (i) the date on which the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans has been reduced to 33% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date; (ii) the date on which the total unpaid principal obligations under the certificates has been reduced to 33% of the aggregate total unpaid principal obligations under the certificates as of the Closing Date; or (iii) two years after the Closing Date.

Operating Advisor

The operating advisor for the transaction is Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. As described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor”, the operating advisor will, in general and under certain circumstances described in this prospectus, have the following responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans:

323 

● review the actions of the special servicer with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan to the extent set forth in the PSA;

● review reports provided by the special servicer to the extent set forth in the PSA;

● review for accuracy certain calculations made by the special servicer to the extent set forth in the PSA; and

● issue an annual report generally (if any Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan at any time during the prior calendar year or if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event occurred during the prior calendar year) setting forth whether the operating advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the special servicer is operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties under the PSA with respect to Specially Serviced Loans.

In addition, if the operating advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the special servicer has failed to comply with the Servicing Standard and (2) a replacement of the special servicer would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (as a collective whole), the operating advisor will have the right at any time to recommend the replacement of the special servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor—Recommendation of the Replacement of the Special Servicer” and “—Termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for Cause”.

Further, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the operating advisor will be required to consult on a non-binding basis with the special servicer with respect to Asset Status Reports prepared for each Specially Serviced Loan and with respect to Major Decisions in respect of the Mortgage Loans for which the operating advisor has received a Major Decision Reporting Package. The operating advisor will generally have no obligations or consultation rights as operating advisor under the PSA for this transaction with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property; provided, however, that the operating advisor may have limited consultation rights with a Non-Serviced Special Servicer pursuant to the Non-Serviced Pooling and Servicing Agreement. See “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor”.

An “Operating Advisor Consultation Event” will occur when the Certificate Balances of the classes of Horizontal Risk Retention Certificates in the aggregate (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of such classes) is 25% or less of the initial Certificate Balances of such classes in the aggregate.

The certificate administrator will be required to notify the operating advisor, the master servicer and the special servicer of the commencement or cessation of any Operating Advisor Consultation Event.

The operating advisor will be entitled to compensation in the form of the Operating Advisor Fee, the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee and reimbursement of any Operating Advisor Expenses.  For additional information, see “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses—Operating Advisor Compensation”.

324 

The operating advisor is required to be an Eligible Operating Advisor at all times that it is acting as operating advisor under the PSA. As a result of Pentalpha Surveillance’s experience and independence as described under “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer”, the representations and warranties being given by Pentalpha Surveillance under the PSA and satisfaction that no payments have been paid by any special servicer to Pentalpha Surveillance of any fees, compensation or other remuneration (x) in respect of its obligations under the PSA, or (y) for the appointment or recommendation for replacement of a successor special servicer to become the special servicer, Pentalpha Surveillance qualifies as an Eligible Operating Advisor under the PSA.

For additional information regarding the operating advisor, a description of how the operating advisor satisfies the requirements of an Eligible Operating Advisor, a description of the material terms of the PSA with respect to the operating advisor’s obligations under the PSA and any material conflicts of interest or material potential conflicts of interest between the operating advisor and another party to this securitization transaction, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest—Potential Conflicts of Interest of the Operating Advisor”, “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor”.

The disclosures set forth in this prospectus under the headings referenced in the preceding paragraphs are hereby incorporated by reference in this “Credit Risk Retention—Operating Advisor” section.

Representations and Warranties

Each of Argentic, Wells Fargo Bank (solely in its capacity as a mortgage loan seller), Barclays, Basis and BSPRT, will make the representations and warranties identified on Annex D-1 with respect to their respective Mortgage Loans, subject in each case to the exceptions to these representations and warranties set forth in Annex D-2, the “Exception Schedules”).

At the time the decision to include its Mortgage Loans in this transaction, each of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and Argentic determined either that the risks associated with the matters giving rise to each exception set forth on Annex D-2 would not have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the related Mortgaged Property or on its related security interest in such Mortgaged Property, or were mitigated in a manner consistent with customary or otherwise appropriate lending practices by one or more compensating factors, including without limitation: (i) affirmative borrower covenants to effect curative requirements, including the imposition of personal liability to the borrower and guarantor on a losses-only or full recourse basis if risk-related events are triggered, or the requirement to obtain rating agency confirmation prior to taking an action related to such exception; (ii) opinions of legal counsel, or other expert evaluations as to materiality of related risks and remediation, as appropriate; (iii) cash- or letter of credit-funded reserves or the collateral assignments of similar security, or the imposition of cash management controls; (iv) insurance benefiting the loan, including title insurance, property and liability insurance, environmental or lease-related insurance, among other things; (v) positive loan underwriting metrics (such as comparatively low loan-to-value ratio, high debt service coverage ratio or debt yield, or any combination of such factors); or (vi) other loan underwriting-related facts and circumstances reducing the related risk of default or loss, such as strong sponsorship, desirable property type, favorable sub-market conditions, strong tenancy at the related Mortgaged Property or otherwise favorable lease provisions pertaining to the related risk, or the likelihood of near-term curative action within foreseeable cost parameters. However, there can be no assurance that the compensating factors or other circumstances upon which each of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association

325 

and Argentic based its decisions will in fact sufficiently mitigate those risks. In particular, we note that an evaluation of the risks presented by such exceptions, including whether any mitigating factors or circumstances are sufficient, may necessarily involve an assessment as to the likelihood of future events as to which no assurance can be given.

At the time of the decision to include its Mortgage Loans in this transaction, each of Barclays and Basis determined either that the risks associated with the matters giving rise to each exception in respect of its Mortgage Loans set forth on Annex D-2 were not material or were mitigated by one or more compensating factors, including without limitation, reserves, title insurance or other relevant insurance, opinions of legal counsel, letters of credit, a full or partial recourse guaranty from the mortgage loan sponsor, a full or partial cash sweep, positive credit metrics (such as low loan to value ratio, high debt service coverage ratio or debt yield, or any combination of such factors), or by other circumstances, such as strong sponsorship, a desirable property type, strong tenancy at the related Mortgaged Property, the likelihood that the related mortgage loan borrower or a third party may (and/or is required to under the related loan documents) resolve the matter soon, any requirements to obtain rating agency confirmation prior to taking an action related to such exception, a determination by Barclays or Basis, as applicable, that the acceptance of the related fact or circumstance by the related originator was prudent and consistent with market standards after consultation with appropriate industry experts or a determination by Barclays or Basis, as applicable, that the circumstances that gave rise to such exception should not have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the related Mortgaged Property or on any related lender’s security interest in such Mortgaged Property. However, there can be no assurance that the compensating factors or other circumstances upon which each of Barclays and Basis based its decisions will in fact sufficiently mitigate those risks. In particular, we note that an evaluation of the risks presented by such exceptions, including whether any mitigating factors or circumstances are sufficient, may necessarily involve an assessment as to the likelihood of future events as to which no assurance can be given.

At the time of its decision to include the BSPRT Mortgage Loans in this transaction, BSPRT determined either that the risks associated with the matters giving rise to each exception set forth on Annex D-2 to this prospectus were not material or were mitigated by one or more compensating factors, including without limitation, reserves, title insurance or other relevant insurance, opinions of legal counsel, letters of credit, a full or partial recourse guaranty from the borrower sponsor, a full or partial cash sweep, positive credit metrics (such as a low loan-to-value ratio, high debt service coverage ratio or debt yield, or any combination of such factors), or by other circumstances, such as strong sponsorship, a desirable property type, strong tenancy at the related Mortgaged Property, the likelihood that the related mortgage loan borrower or a third party may (and/or, in the case of the mortgage loan borrower, is required to under the related loan documents) resolve the matter soon, any requirements to obtain rating agency confirmation prior to taking an action related to such exception, a determination by BSPRT that the acceptance of the related fact or circumstance by the related originator was prudent and consistent with market standards after consultation with appropriate industry experts or a determination by BSPRT that the circumstances that gave rise to such exception should not have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the related Mortgaged Property or on any related lender’s security interest in such Mortgaged Property. However, there can be no assurance that the compensating factors or other circumstances upon which BSPRT based its decisions will in fact sufficiently mitigate those risks. In particular, we note that an evaluation of the risks presented by such exceptions, including whether any mitigating factors or circumstances are sufficient, may necessarily involve an assessment as to the likelihood of future events as to which no assurance can be given.

The “Certificate Balance” of any class of Principal Balance Certificates outstanding at any time represents the maximum amount that its holders are entitled to receive as distributions allocable to principal from the cash flow on the Mortgage Loans and the other assets in the issuing entity, all as described in this prospectus. On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balance of each class of Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced by any distributions of principal actually made on, and by any Realized Losses actually allocated to, that class of Principal Balance Certificates on that Distribution Date. In the event that Realized Losses previously allocated to a class of Principal Balance Certificates in reduction of its Certificate Balance are recovered subsequent to such Certificate Balance being reduced to zero, holders of such class of Principal Balance Certificates may receive distributions in respect of such recoveries in accordance with the distribution priorities described under “—Distributions—Priority of Distributions” below.

The Residual Certificates will not have a Certificate Balance or entitle their holders to distributions of principal or interest.

The Class X Certificates will not have Certificate Balances, nor will they entitle their holders to distributions of principal, but the Class X Certificates will represent the right to receive distributions of interest in an amount equal to the aggregate interest accrued on their respective notional amounts (each, a “Notional Amount”). The Notional Amount of the Class X-A certificates will equal the aggregate of the Certificate Balances of the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-S certificates) outstanding from time to time. The initial Notional Amount of the Class X-A certificates will be approximately $583,753,000. The Notional Amount of the Class X-B certificates will equal the aggregate of the Certificate Balances of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates outstanding from time to time. The initial Notional Amount of the Class X-B certificates will be approximately $138,642,000. The Notional Amount of the Class X-D certificates will equal the Certificate Balance of the Class D certificates outstanding from time to time. The initial Notional Amount of the Class X-D certificates will be approximately $31,848,000.

The Class V certificates will not have a Certificate Balance nor will they entitle their holders to distributions of principal, but the Class V certificates will represent the right to

328 

receive their allocable portion of Excess Interest received on any ARD Loan allocated as described under “—Available Funds—Excess Interest” below.

“Excess Interest” with respect to an ARD Loan is the interest accrued at the Revised Rate in respect of such ARD Loan in excess of the interest accrued at the Initial Rate, plus any related interest accrued on such amounts, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan documents.

The Mortgage Loans (exclusive of Excess Interest) will be held by the lower-tier REMIC (the “Lower-Tier REMIC”). The certificates (other than the Class V certificates and their right to receive a portion of the Excess Interest) will be issued by the upper-tier REMIC (the “Upper-Tier REMIC”) (collectively with the Lower-Tier REMIC, the “Trust REMICs”). The Class V certificates will be issued by the grantor trust (the “Grantor Trust”).

Distributions

Method, Timing and Amount

Distributions on the certificates are required to be made by the certificate administrator, to the extent of available funds as described in this prospectus, on the 4th business day following each Determination Date (each, a “Distribution Date”). The “Determination Date” will be the 11th day of each calendar month (or, if the 11th calendar day of that month is not a business day, then the next business day) commencing in January 2019.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any certificate) are required to be made to the Certificateholders in whose names the certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date. With respect to any Distribution Date, the “Record Date” will be the last business day of the month immediately preceding the month in which that Distribution Date occurs. These distributions are required to be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if the Certificateholder has provided the certificate administrator with written wiring instructions no less than 5 business days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions) or otherwise by check mailed to the Certificateholder. The final distribution on any certificate is required to be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of the certificate at the location that will be specified in a notice of the pendency of the final distribution. All distributions made with respect to a class of certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding certificates of that class based on their respective Percentage Interests.

The “Percentage Interest” evidenced by any certificate (other than a Class V or Class R certificate) will equal its initial denomination as of the Closing Date divided by the initial Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, of the related class.

The master servicer is authorized but not required to direct the investment of funds held in the Collection Account and the Companion Distribution Account, in U.S. government securities and other obligations that satisfy criteria established by the Rating Agencies (“Permitted Investments”). The master servicer will be entitled to retain any interest or other income earned on such funds and the master servicer will be required to bear any losses resulting from the investment of such funds, as provided in the PSA. The certificate administrator is authorized but not required to direct the investment of funds held in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account and the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account in Permitted Investments. The certificate administrator will be entitled to

329 

retain any interest or other income earned on such funds and the certificate administrator will be required to bear any losses resulting from the investment of such funds, as provided in the PSA.

Available Funds

The aggregate amount available for distribution to holders of the certificates on each Distribution Date (the “Available Funds”) will, in general, equal the sum of the following amounts (without duplication):

(a)       the aggregate amount of all cash received on the Mortgage Loans (in the case of each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, only to the extent received by the issuing entity pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA) and any REO Property that is on deposit in the Collection Account (in each case, exclusive of any amount on deposit in or credited to any portion of the Collection Account that is held for the benefit of the holder of any related Companion Loan), as of the related P&I Advance Date, exclusive of (without duplication):

● all scheduled payments of principal and/or interest and any balloon payments paid by the borrowers of a Mortgage Loan (such amounts other than any Excess Interest, the “Periodic Payments”), that are due on a Due Date after the end of the related Collection Period, excluding interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-off Date;

● all unscheduled payments of principal (including prepayments), unscheduled interest, liquidation proceeds, insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds and other unscheduled recoveries received subsequent to the related Determination Date (or, with respect to voluntary prepayments of principal of each Mortgage Loan with a Due Date occurring after the related Determination Date, subsequent to the related Due Date) allocable to the Mortgage Loans;

● all amounts in the Collection Account that are due or reimbursable to any person other than the Certificateholders;

● with respect to each Actual/360 Loan and any Distribution Date occurring in each February and in any January occurring in a year that is not a leap year (in each case, unless such Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the related Withheld Amount to the extent those funds are on deposit in the Collection Account;

● all Excess Interest allocable to the Mortgage Loans (which is separately distributed to the Class V certificates);

● all Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums;

● all amounts deposited in the Collection Account in error; and

● any late payment charges or accrued interest on a Mortgage Loan actually collected thereon and allocable to the default interest rate for such Mortgage Loan, to the extent permitted by law, excluding any interest calculated at the Mortgage Rate for the related Mortgage Loan;

(b)       if and to the extent not already included in clause (a), the aggregate amount transferred from the REO Accounts allocable to the Mortgage Loans to the Collection Account for such Distribution Date;

330 

(c)       all Compensating Interest Payments made by the master servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans with respect to such Distribution Date and P&I Advances made by the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, with respect to the Distribution Date (net of certain amounts that are due or reimbursable to persons other than the Certificateholders);

(d)       with respect to each Actual/360 Loan and any Distribution Date occurring in each March (or February, if such Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the related Withheld Amounts as required to be deposited in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account pursuant to the PSA; and

(e) the Gain-on-Sale Remittance Amount for such Distribution Date.

The “Gain-on-Sale Entitlement Amount” for each Distribution Date will be equal to the aggregate amount of (i) the sum of (a) the aggregate portion of the Interest Distribution Amount for each Class of Regular Certificates that would remain unpaid as of the close of business on such Distribution Date, and (b) the amount by which the Principal Distribution Amount exceeds the aggregate amount that would actually be distributed on such Distribution Date in respect of such Principal Distribution Amount, and (ii) any Realized Losses outstanding immediately after such Distribution Date, in each case, to the extent such amounts would occur on such Distribution Date or would be outstanding immediately after such Distribution Date, as applicable, without the inclusion of the Gain-on-Sale Remittance Amount as part of the definition of Available Funds.

The “Collection Period” for each Distribution Date and any Mortgage Loan (including any Companion Loan) will be the period commencing on the day immediately succeeding the Due Date for such Mortgage Loan (including any Companion Loan) in the month preceding the month in which that Distribution Date occurs or the date that would have been the Due Date if such Mortgage Loan (including any Companion Loan) had a Due Date in such preceding month and ending on and including the Due Date for such Mortgage Loan (including any related Companion Loan) occurring in the month in which that Distribution Date occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the last day of a Collection Period is not a business day, any Periodic Payments received with respect to Mortgage Loans (including any periodic payments for any Companion Loan) relating to such Collection Period on the business day immediately following such day will be deemed to have been received during such Collection Period and not during any other Collection Period.

“Due Date” means, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including any Companion Loan), the date on which scheduled payments of principal, interest or both are required to be made by the related borrower.

The “Gain-on-Sale Remittance Amount” for each Distribution Date will be equal to the lesser of (i) the amount on deposit in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account on such Distribution Date, and (ii) the Gain-on-Sale Entitlement Amount.

Priority of Distributions

On each Distribution Date, for so long as the Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts of the Regular Certificates have not been reduced to zero, the certificate administrator is required to apply amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account, to the extent of the Available Funds, in the following order of priority:

331 

First, to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D certificates, in respect of interest, up to an amount equal to, and pro rata in accordance with, the respective Interest Distribution Amounts for such classes;

Eighteenth, to the Class E-RR certificates, first, (i) up to an amount equal to the aggregate unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to such class, then, (ii) up to an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount set forth in clause (i) at the Pass-Through Rate for such class compounded monthly from the date the related Realized Loss was allocated to such class until the date such Realized Loss is reimbursed;

Nineteenth, to the Class F-RR certificates, in respect of interest, up to an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount of such class;

Twenty-second, to the Class G-RR certificates, in respect of interest, up to an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount of such class;

Twenty-third, after the Certificate Balances of the Class A Certificates and the Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E-RR and Class F-RR certificates have been reduced to zero, to the Class G-RR certificates, in reduction of their Certificate Balance, up to an amount equal to the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date less the portion of such Principal Distribution Amount distributed pursuant to all prior clauses, until their Certificate Balance is reduced to zero;

334 

Twenty-fifth, to the Class H-RR certificates, in respect of interest, up to an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount of such class;

Twenty-sixth, after the Certificate Balances of the Class A Certificates and the Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR and Class G-RR certificates have been reduced to zero, to the Class H-RR certificates, in reduction of their Certificate Balance, up to an amount equal to the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date less the portion of such Principal Distribution Amount distributed pursuant to all prior clauses, until their Certificate Balance is reduced to zero;

Twenty-seventh, to the Class H-RR certificates, first, (i) up to an amount equal to the aggregate unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to such class, then, (ii) up to an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount set forth in clause (i) at the Pass-Through Rate for such class compounded monthly from the date the related Realized Loss was allocated to such class until the date such Realized Loss is reimbursed; and

Twenty-eighth, to the Class R certificates, any remaining amounts.

The “Cross-Over Date” means the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Balances of the Subordinate Certificates have all previously been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses to those certificates.

Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the class of certificates in respect of which a reimbursement is made.

If and to the extent that any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest on such Nonrecoverable Advances) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (including REO Loans) and previously resulted in a reduction of the Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, then (on the Distribution Date related to the Collection Period during which the recovery occurred): (i) the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance(s) of the class or classes of Principal Balance Certificates that previously were allocated Realized Losses, in the order of distributions set forth in “—Priority of Distributions” above, in each case up to the lesser of (A) the unallocated portion of the amount of such recovery and (B) the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to the subject class of certificates; and (ii) the Interest Shortfall with respect to each affected class of Certificates for the next Distribution Date will be increased by the amount of interest that would have accrued through the then-current Distribution Date if the restored write-down for the reimbursed class of Principal Balance Certificates had never been written down. If the Certificate Balance of any class of Principal Balance Certificates is so increased, the amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses of such class of certificates will be decreased by such amount.

Pass-Through Rates

The interest rate (the “Pass-Through Rate”) applicable to each class of Regular Certificates for any Distribution Date will equal the rates set forth below:

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-1 certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 3.3780%.

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-2 certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 4.2240%.

335 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-3 certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 4.0240%.

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-SB certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 4.2450%.

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-4 certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 4.0370%.

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-5 certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 4.3020%.

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-S certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 4.7030%, subject to a maximum rate equal to the WAC Rate that corresponds to the related Interest Accrual Period.

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class B certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 4.9040%, subject to a maximum rate equal to the WAC Rate that corresponds to the related Interest Accrual Period.

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class C certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the WAC Rate that corresponds to the related Interest Accrual Period.

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class D certificates will be a per annum rate equal to 3.0000%.

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class E-RR certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the WAC Rate that corresponds to the related Interest Accrual Period.

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class F-RR certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the WAC Rate that corresponds to the related Interest Accrual Period.

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class G-RR certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the WAC Rate that corresponds to the related Interest Accrual Period.

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class H-RR certificates will be a per annum rate equal to the WAC Rate that corresponds to the related Interest Accrual Period.

The Pass-Through Rate for the Class X-A certificates for any Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any of (a) the WAC Rate for the related Distribution Date, over (b) the weighted average of the Pass-Through Rates on the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates for such Distribution Date, weighted on the basis of their respective Certificate Balances immediately prior to that Distribution Date.

The Pass-Through Rate for the Class X-B certificates for any Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the WAC Rate for the related Distribution Date, over (b) the weighted average of the Pass-Through Rates on the Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates for the related Distribution Date, weighted on the basis of their respective Certificate Balances immediately prior to that Distribution Date.

The Pass-Through Rate for the Class X-D certificates for any Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the WAC Rate for the related Distribution Date, over (b) the Pass-Through Rate on the Class D certificates for the related Distribution Date.

336 

The Class V certificates will not have a Pass-Through Rate or be entitled to distributions in respect of interest other than the Excess Interest, if any, with respect to any ARD Loan.

The “WAC Rate” with respect to any Distribution Date is equal to the weighted average of the applicable Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) as of the first day of the related Collection Period, weighted on the basis of their respective Stated Principal Balances as of the first day of such Collection Period (after giving effect to any payments received during any applicable grace period).

The “Net Mortgage Rate” for each Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any REO Loan (other than the portion of the REO Loan related to any Companion Loan) is equal to the related Mortgage Rate then in effect (without regard to any increase in the interest rate of any ARD Loan after the related Anticipated Repayment Date), minus the related Administrative Cost Rate; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating Pass-Through Rates, the Net Mortgage Rate for any Mortgage Loan will be determined without regard to any modification, waiver or amendment of the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, whether agreed to by the master servicer, the special servicer, a Non-Serviced Master Servicer or a Non-Serviced Special Servicer or resulting from a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving the related borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Mortgage Loans that do not accrue interest on a 30/360 Basis, then, solely for purposes of calculating the Pass-Through Rates and the WAC Rate, the Net Mortgage Rate of any Mortgage Loan for any one-month period preceding a related Due Date will be the annualized rate at which interest would have to accrue in respect of the Mortgage Loan on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months in order to produce the aggregate amount of interest actually required to be paid in respect of the Mortgage Loan during the one-month period at the related Net Mortgage Rate; provided, however, that with respect to each Actual/360 Loan, the Net Mortgage Rate for the one-month period (1) prior to the Due Dates in January and February in any year which is not a leap year or in February in any year which is a leap year (in either case, unless the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date) will be determined exclusive of Withheld Amounts, and (2) prior to the Due Date in March (or February, if the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), will be determined inclusive of Withheld Amounts for the immediately preceding February and January, as applicable. With respect to any REO Loan, the Net Mortgage Rate will be calculated as described above, as if the predecessor Mortgage Loan had remained outstanding.

“Administrative Cost Rate” as of any date of determination will be a per annum rate equal to the sum of the Servicing Fee Rate, the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee Rate, the Operating Advisor Fee Rate, the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate and the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee Rate.

“Mortgage Rate” with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any related Companion Loan is the per annum rate at which interest accrues on the Mortgage Loan or the related Companion Loan as stated in the related Mortgage Note or the promissory note evidencing such Companion Loan without giving effect to any default rate or Revised Rate.

Interest Distribution Amount

The “Interest Distribution Amount” with respect to any Distribution Date and each class of Regular Certificates will equal (A) the sum of (i) the Interest Accrual Amount with respect to such class for such Distribution Date and (ii) the Interest Shortfall, if any, with respect to such class for such Distribution Date, less (B) any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall allocated to such class on such Distribution Date.

337 

The “Interest Accrual Amount” with respect to any Distribution Date and any class of Regular Certificates will be equal to the interest for the related Interest Accrual Period accrued at the Pass-Through Rate for such class on the Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, for such class immediately prior to that Distribution Date. Calculations of interest for each Interest Accrual Period will be made on 30/360 Basis.

An “Interest Shortfall” with respect to any Distribution Date for any class of Regular Certificates will be equal to the sum of (a) the portion of the Interest Distribution Amount for such class remaining unpaid as of the close of business on the preceding Distribution Date, and (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) other than in the case of certificates with a Notional Amount, one month’s interest on that amount remaining unpaid at the Pass-Through Rate applicable to such class for the current Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of the certificates with a Notional Amount, one-month’s interest on that amount remaining unpaid at the WAC Rate for such Distribution Date.

The “Interest Accrual Period” for each Distribution Date will be the calendar month prior to the month in which that Distribution Date occurs.

Principal Distribution Amount

The “Principal Distribution Amount” for any Distribution Date will be equal to the sum of the following amounts:

(a)       the Scheduled Principal Distribution Amount for that Distribution Date,

(b)       the Unscheduled Principal Distribution Amount for that Distribution Date, and

(c)       the Principal Shortfall for such Distribution Date;

provided that the Principal Distribution Amount for any Distribution Date will be reduced, to not less than zero, by the amount of any reimbursements of:

(A)       Nonrecoverable Advances (including any servicing advance with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Non-Serviced PSA reimbursed out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans), with interest on such Nonrecoverable Advances at the Reimbursement Rate, that are paid or reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans in a period during which such principal collections would have otherwise been included in the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, and

(B)       Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts paid or reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans in a period during which such principal collections would have otherwise been included in the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date,

provided, further, that in the case of clauses (A) and (B) above, if any of the amounts that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (including REO Loans) are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan (or REO Loan), such recovery will increase the Principal Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date related to the period in which such recovery occurs.

The “Scheduled Principal Distribution Amount” for each Distribution Date will equal the aggregate of the principal portions of (a) all Periodic Payments (excluding balloon payments) with respect to the Mortgage Loans due during or, if and to the extent not previously received or advanced and distributed to Certificateholders on a preceding

338 

Distribution Date, prior to the related Collection Period and all Assumed Scheduled Payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans for the related Collection Period, in each case to the extent paid by the related borrower as of the related Determination Date (or, with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Due Date occurring, or a grace period ending, after the related Determination Date, the related Due Date or, last day of such grace period, as applicable, to the extent received by the master servicer as of the business day preceding the related P&I Advance Date) or advanced by the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, and (b) all balloon payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans to the extent received on or prior to the related Determination Date (or, with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Due Date occurring, or a grace period ending, after the related Determination Date, the related Due Date or, last day of such grace period, as applicable, to the extent received by the master servicer as of the business day preceding the related P&I Advance Date), and to the extent not included in clause (a) above. The Scheduled Principal Distribution Amount from time to time will include all late payments of principal made by a borrower with respect to the Mortgage Loans, including late payments in respect of a delinquent balloon payment, received by the times described above in this definition, except to the extent those late payments are otherwise available to reimburse the master servicer or the trustee, as the case may be, for prior Advances, as described above.

The “Unscheduled Principal Distribution Amount” for each Distribution Date will equal the aggregate of the following: (a) all prepayments of principal received on the Mortgage Loans as of the Determination Date; and (b) any other collections (exclusive of payments by borrowers) received on the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on or prior to the related Determination Date whether in the form of Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, net income, rents, and profits from REO Property or otherwise, that were identified and applied by the master servicer as recoveries of previously unadvanced principal of the related Mortgage Loan; provided that all such Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds will be reduced by any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees, any amount related to the Loss of Value Payments to the extent that such amount was transferred into the Collection Account during the related Collection Period, accrued interest on Advances and other additional trust fund expenses incurred in connection with the related Mortgage Loan, thus reducing the Unscheduled Principal Distribution Amount.

The “Assumed Scheduled Payment” for any Collection Period and with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that is delinquent in respect of its balloon payment or any REO Loan (excluding, for purposes of any P&I Advances, the portion allocable to any related Companion Loan), is an amount equal to the sum of (a) the principal portion of the Periodic Payment that would have been due on such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan on the related Due Date based on the constant payment required by such related Mortgage Note or the original amortization schedule of the Mortgage Loan, as the case may be (as calculated with interest at the related Mortgage Rate), if applicable, assuming the related balloon payment has not become due, after giving effect to any reduction in the principal balance occurring in connection with a modification of such Mortgage Loan in connection with a default or a bankruptcy (or similar proceeding), and (b) interest on the Stated Principal Balance of that Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding, for purposes of any P&I Advances, the portion allocable to any related Companion Loan) at its Mortgage Rate (net of interest at the applicable rate at which the Servicing Fee is calculated).

The “Principal Shortfall” for any Distribution Date means the amount, if any, by which (1) the Principal Distribution Amount for the prior Distribution Date exceeds (2) the

339 

aggregate amount actually distributed on the preceding Distribution Date in respect of such Principal Distribution Amount.

The “Class A-SB Planned Principal Balance” for any Distribution Date is the balance shown for such Distribution Date in the table set forth in Annex E. Such balances were calculated using, among other things, certain weighted average life assumptions. See “Yield and Maturity Considerations—Weighted Average Life”. Based on such assumptions, the Certificate Balance of the Class A-SB certificates on each Distribution Date would be expected to be reduced to the balance indicated for such Distribution Date in the table set forth in Annex E. We cannot assure you, however, that the mortgage loans will perform in conformity with our assumptions. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the balance of the Class A-SB certificates on any Distribution Date will be equal to the balance that is specified for such Distribution Date in the table.

Certain Calculations with Respect to Individual Mortgage Loans

The “Stated Principal Balance” of each Mortgage Loan will be an amount equal to its unpaid principal balance as of the Cut-off Date or, in the case of a replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the date it is added to the trust, after application of all payments of principal due during or prior to the month of substitution, whether or not those payments have been received, minus the sum of:

(i)       the principal portion of each Periodic Payment due on such Mortgage Loan after the Cut-off Date (or in the case of a replacement Mortgage Loan, due after the Due Date in the related month of substitution), to the extent received from the borrower or advanced by the master servicer;

(ii)      all principal prepayments received with respect to such Mortgage Loan after the Cut-off Date (or in the case of a replacement Mortgage Loan, after the Due Date in the related month of substitution);

(iii)      the principal portion of all Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds (to the extent allocable to principal on such Mortgage Loan) and Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan after the Cut-off Date (or in the case of a replacement Mortgage Loan, after the Due Date in the related month of substitution); and

(iv)      any reduction in the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan resulting from a valuation by a court in a bankruptcy proceeding that is less than the then-outstanding principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or a modification of such Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms and provisions of the PSA that occurred prior to the end of the Collection Period for the most recent Distribution Date.

The Stated Principal Balance of any REO Loan that is a successor to a Mortgage Loan, as of any date of determination, will be an amount equal to (x) the Stated Principal Balance of the predecessor Mortgage Loan as of the date of the related REO Property was acquired for U.S. federal tax purposes, minus (y) the sum of:

(i)       the principal portion of any P&I Advance made with respect to such REO Loan; and

(ii)      the principal portion of all Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds (to the extent allocable to principal on the related Mortgage Loan), Liquidation Proceeds and all income rents and profits received with respect to such REO Loan.

340 

See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans” below.

With respect to any Companion Loan on any date of determination, the Stated Principal Balance will equal the unpaid principal balance of such Companion Loan as of such date. On any date of determination, the Stated Principal Balance of any Whole Loan will equal the sum of the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loan and the related Companion Loan(s), as applicable, on such date.

With respect to any REO Loan that is a successor to a Companion Loan as of any date of determination, the Stated Principal Balance will equal (x) the Stated Principal Balance of the predecessor Companion Loan as of the date of the related REO acquisition, minus (y) the principal portion of any amounts allocable to the related Companion Loan in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement.

If any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan is paid in full or the Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (or any REO Property) is otherwise liquidated, then, as of the first Distribution Date that follows the end of the Collection Period in which that payment in full or liquidation occurred and notwithstanding that a loss may have occurred in connection with any liquidation, the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan or REO Loan will be zero.

For purposes of calculating allocations of, or recoveries in respect of, Realized Losses, as well as for purposes of calculating the Servicing Fee, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee, Operating Advisor Fee and Asset Representations Reviewer Fee payable each month, each REO Property (including any REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan held pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA) will be treated as if there exists with respect to such REO Property an outstanding Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, each related Companion Loan (an “REO Loan”), and all references to Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan and pool of Mortgage Loans in this prospectus, when used in that context, will be deemed to also be references to or to also include, as the case may be, any REO Loans. Each REO Loan will generally be deemed to have the same characteristics as its actual predecessor Mortgage Loan (including related Companion Loan), including the same fixed Mortgage Rate (and, accordingly, the same Net Mortgage Rate) and the same unpaid principal balance and Stated Principal Balance. Amounts due on the predecessor Mortgage Loan (including related Companion Loan) including any portion of it payable or reimbursable to the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer, the certificate administrator or the trustee, as applicable, will continue to be “due” in respect of the REO Loan; and amounts received in respect of the related REO Property, net of payments to be made, or reimbursement to the master servicer or the special servicer for payments previously advanced, in connection with the operation and management of that property, generally will be applied by the master servicer as if received on the predecessor Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan.

With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, no amounts relating to the related REO Property or REO Loan allocable to any related Companion Loan will be available for amounts due to the Certificateholders or to reimburse the issuing entity, other than in the limited circumstances related to Servicing Advances, indemnification, Special Servicing Fees and other reimbursable expenses related to such Serviced Whole Loan incurred with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan in accordance with the PSA.

Excess Interest

On each Distribution Date, the certificate administrator is required to distribute any Excess Interest received with respect to an ARD Loan on or prior to the related Determination Date to the holders of the Class V certificates. Excess Interest will not be

341 

available to make distributions to any other class of certificates or to provide credit support for other classes of certificates or offset any interest shortfalls or to pay any other amounts to any other party under the PSA.

Application Priority of Mortgage Loan Collections or Whole Loan Collections

Absent express provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Intercreditor Agreement) or to the extent otherwise agreed to by the related borrower in connection with a workout of a Mortgage Loan, all amounts collected by or on behalf of the issuing entity in respect of any Mortgage Loan in the form of payments from the related borrower, Liquidation Proceeds, condemnation proceeds or insurance proceeds (excluding, if applicable, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, any amounts payable to the holder of the related Companion Loan(s) pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement) will be applied pursuant to the PSA in the following order of priority:

First, as a recovery of any unreimbursed Advances (including any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount) with respect to the related Mortgage Loan and unpaid interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Advances and, if applicable, unreimbursed and unpaid additional trust fund expenses;

Second, as a recovery of Nonrecoverable Advances and any interest on those Nonrecoverable Advances at the Reimbursement Rate, to the extent previously paid or reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (as described in the first proviso in the definition of Principal Distribution Amount);

Third, to the extent not previously so allocated pursuant to clause First or Second above, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan to the extent of the excess of (i) accrued and unpaid interest (exclusive of default interest and Excess Interest) on such Mortgage Loan at the related Mortgage Rate in effect from time to time through the end of the applicable mortgage interest accrual period, over (ii) after taking into account any allocations pursuant to clause Fifth below on earlier dates, the aggregate portion of the accrued and unpaid interest described in subclause (i) of this clause Third that either (A) was not advanced because of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (B) accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made;

Twelfth, as a recovery of any remaining principal of such Mortgage Loan to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal balance; and

Thirteenth, in the case of an ARD Loan after the related Anticipated Repayment Date, any accrued but unpaid Excess Interest;

provided that, to the extent required under the REMIC provisions of the Code, payments or proceeds received (or receivable by exercise of the lender’s rights under the related Mortgage Loan documents) with respect to any partial release of a Mortgaged Property (including in connection with a condemnation) at a time when the loan-to-value ratio of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan exceeds 125%, or would exceed 125% following any partial release (based solely on the value of real property and excluding personal property and going concern value, if any, unless otherwise permitted under the applicable REMIC rules as evidenced by an opinion of counsel provided to the trustee) may be required to be collected and allocated to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan) in the manner required by such REMIC provisions.

Collections by or on behalf of the issuing entity in respect of any REO Property (exclusive of the amounts to be allocated to the payment of the costs of operating, managing, leasing, maintaining and disposing of such REO Property and, if applicable, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, exclusive of any amounts payable to the holder of the related Companion Loan(s), as applicable, pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement) will be applied pursuant to the PSA in the following order of priority:

First, as a recovery of any unreimbursed Advances (including any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount) with respect to the related Mortgage Loan and interest at the Reimbursement Rate on all Advances and, if applicable, unreimbursed and unpaid additional trust fund expenses with respect to the related Mortgage Loan;

Third, to the extent not previously so allocated pursuant to clause First or Second above, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan to the extent of the excess of (i) accrued and unpaid interest (exclusive of default interest and Excess Interest) on such Mortgage Loan at the related Mortgage Rate in effect from time to time through the end of the applicable mortgage interest accrual period, over (ii) after taking into account any allocations pursuant to clause Fifth below or clause Fifth of the prior paragraph on earlier dates, the aggregate portion of the accrued and unpaid interest described in subclause (i) of this clause Third that either (A) was not advanced because of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (B) accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made;

Fourth, to the extent not previously so allocated pursuant to clause First or Second above, as a recovery of principal of such Mortgage Loan to the extent of its entire unpaid principal balance;

Tenth, in the case of an ARD Loan after the related Anticipated Repayment Date, any accrued but unpaid Excess Interest.

Allocation of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums

If any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium is collected during any particular Collection Period with respect to any Mortgage Loan, then on the Distribution Date corresponding to that Collection Period, the certificate administrator will pay that Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium (net of liquidation fees or workout fees payable therefrom) in the following manner: (1) to each of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D certificates, the product of (a) such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, (b) the related

344 

Base Interest Fraction for such class, and (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed to such class for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all Principal Balance Certificates for that Distribution Date, (2) to the Class X-A certificates, the excess, if any, of (a) the product of (i) such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all Principal Balance Certificates for that Distribution Date, over (b) the amount of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates as described above, and (3) to the Class X-B certificates, any remaining portion of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium not distributed as described above.

“Base Interest Fraction” means, with respect to any principal prepayment of any Mortgage Loan that provides for the payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, and with respect to any class of Principal Balance Certificates, a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the greater of (x) zero and (y) the difference between (i) the pass-through rate on that class, and (ii) the applicable Discount Rate and (B) the denominator of which is the difference between (i) the mortgage interest rate on the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the applicable Discount Rate; provided, however, that:

● under no circumstances will the Base Interest Fraction be greater than one;

● if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the mortgage interest rate on the related Mortgage Loan and is greater than or equal to the pass-through rate on that class, then the Base Interest Fraction will equal zero; and

● if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the mortgage interest rate on the related Mortgage Loan and is less than the pass-through rate on that class, then the Base Interest Fraction will be equal to 1.0.

“Discount Rate” means, with respect to any principal prepayment of any Mortgage Loan that provides for the payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium—

● if a discount rate was used in the calculation of the applicable Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, that discount rate, converted (if necessary) to a monthly equivalent yield, or

● if a discount rate was not used in the calculation of the applicable Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519)—Selected Interest Rates under the heading “U.S. government securities/treasury constant maturities” for the week ending prior to the date of the relevant prepayment (or deemed prepayment), of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with a maturity date, one longer and one shorter, most nearly approximating the maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable, of that Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, such interpolated treasury yield converted to a monthly equivalent yield.

For purposes of the immediately preceding bullet, the master servicer will select a comparable publication as the source of the applicable yields of U.S. Treasury constant maturities if Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 is no longer published.

345 

“Prepayment Premium” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, any premium, fee or other additional amount (other than a Yield Maintenance Charge) paid or payable, as the context requires, by a borrower in connection with a principal prepayment on, or other early collection of principal of, that Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Loan with respect thereto (including any payoff of a Mortgage Loan by a mezzanine lender on behalf of the subject borrower if and as set forth in the related intercreditor agreement).

“Yield Maintenance Charge” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, any premium, fee or other additional amount paid or payable, as the context requires, by a borrower in connection with a principal prepayment on, or other early collection of principal of, a Mortgage Loan, calculated, in whole or in part, pursuant to a yield maintenance formula or otherwise pursuant to a formula that reflects the lost interest, including any specified amount or specified percentage of the amount prepaid which constitutes the minimum amount that such Yield Maintenance Charge may be.

No Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges will be distributed to the holders of the Class X-D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class H-RR, Class V or Class R certificates.

For a description of Yield Maintenance Charges, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans” and “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Default Interest and Limitations on Prepayments”.

Assumed Final Distribution Date; Rated Final Distribution Date

The “Assumed Final Distribution Date” with respect to any class of certificates is the Distribution Date on which the aggregate Certificate Balance of that class of certificates would be reduced to zero based on the assumptions set forth below. The Assumed Final Distribution Date with respect to each class of Offered Certificates will in each case be as follows:

Class	Assumed Final Distribution Date
Class A-1	May 2023
Class A-2	October 2023
Class A-3	November 2025
Class A-SB	April 2028
Class A-4	October 2028
Class A-5	December 2028
Class X-A	NAP
Class X-B	NAP
Class A-S	December 2028
Class B	December 2028
Class C	December 2028

The Assumed Final Distribution Dates set forth above were calculated without regard to any delays in the collection of balloon payments and without regard to delinquencies, defaults or liquidations. Accordingly, in the event of defaults on the Mortgage Loans, the actual final Distribution Date for one or more classes of the Offered Certificates may be later, and could be substantially later, than the related Assumed Final Distribution Date(s).

In addition, the Assumed Final Distribution Dates set forth above were calculated on the basis of a 0% CPR prepayment rate and the Structuring Assumptions. Since the rate of payment (including prepayments) of the Mortgage Loans may exceed the scheduled rate of payments, and could exceed the scheduled rate by a substantial amount, the actual final Distribution Date for one or more classes of the Offered Certificates may be earlier, and could be substantially earlier, than the related Assumed Final Distribution Date(s). The rate

346 

of payments (including prepayments) on the Mortgage Loans will depend on the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans, as well as on the prevailing level of interest rates and other economic factors, and we cannot assure you as to actual payment experience.

The “Rated Final Distribution Date” for each class of Offered Certificates will be the Distribution Date in January 2052. See “Ratings”.

Prepayment Interest Shortfalls

If a borrower prepays a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan in whole or in part, after the due date but on or before the Determination Date in any calendar month, the amount of interest (net of related Servicing Fees and any Excess Interest) accrued on such prepayment from such due date to, but not including, the date of prepayment (or any later date through which interest accrues) will, to the extent actually collected (without regard to any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge actually collected) constitute a “Prepayment Interest Excess”. Conversely, if a borrower prepays a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan in whole or in part after the Determination Date (or, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, as applicable, with a due date occurring after the related Determination Date, the related Due Date) in any calendar month and does not pay interest on such prepayment through the following Due Date, then the shortfall in a full month’s interest (net of related Servicing Fees and any Excess Interest) on such prepayment will constitute a “Prepayment Interest Shortfall”. Prepayment Interest Excesses (to the extent not offset by Prepayment Interest Shortfalls or required to be paid as Compensating Interest Payments) collected on the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan will be retained by the master servicer as additional servicing compensation.

The master servicer will be required to deliver to the certificate administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment described below that is allocable to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) on each P&I Advance Date, without any right of reimbursement thereafter, a cash payment (a “Compensating Interest Payment”) in an aggregate amount, equal to the lesser of:

(i)       the aggregate amount of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred in connection with voluntary principal prepayments received in respect of the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (in each case other than a Specially Serviced Loan or a Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan on which the special servicer allowed a prepayment on a date other than the applicable Due Date) for the related Distribution Date, and

(ii)       the aggregate of (A) that portion of the master servicer’s Servicing Fees for the related Distribution Date that is, in the case of each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and REO Loan for which such Servicing Fees are being paid to the master servicer in such Collection Period, calculated at a rate of 0.00250% per annum, (B) all Prepayment Interest Excesses received by the master servicer during such Collection Period with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (and, so long as a Whole Loan is serviced under the PSA, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) subject to such prepayment and (C) to the extent earned on voluntary principal prepayments, net investment earnings payable to the master servicer for such Collection Period received by the master servicer during such

347 

Collection Period with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, as applicable, subject to such prepayment. In no event will the rights of the Certificateholders to the offset of the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls be cumulative.

If a Prepayment Interest Shortfall occurs with respect to a Mortgage Loan as a result of the master servicer allowing the related borrower to deviate (a “Prohibited Prepayment”) from the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents regarding principal prepayments (other than (v) any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, (w) subsequent to a default under the related Mortgage Loan documents or if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, (x) pursuant to applicable law or a court order or otherwise in such circumstances where the master servicer is required to accept such principal prepayment in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (y)(i) at the request or with the consent of the special servicer or, (ii) so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred or is continuing, and with respect to the Mortgage Loans other than an Excluded Loan, at the request or with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder or (z) in connection with the payment of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards), then for purposes of calculating the Compensating Interest Payment for the related Distribution Date, the master servicer will pay, without regard to clause (ii) above, the aggregate amount of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls with respect to such Mortgage Loan otherwise described in clause (i) above in connection with such Prohibited Prepayments.

Compensating Interest Payments with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan will be allocated among the related Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans in accordance with their respective principal amounts, and the master servicer will be required to pay the portion of such Compensating Interest Payments allocable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to the related Other Master Servicer.

The aggregate of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls resulting from any principal prepayments made on the Mortgage Loans to be included in the Available Funds for any Distribution Date that are not covered by the master servicer’s Compensating Interest Payment for the related Distribution Date and the portion of the compensating interest payments allocable to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan to the extent received from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer is referred to in this prospectus as the “Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall” and will be allocated on that Distribution Date among each class of Regular Certificates, pro rata, in accordance with their respective Interest Accrual Amounts for that Distribution Date.

Subordination; Allocation of Realized Losses

The rights of holders of the Subordinate Certificates to receive distributions of amounts collected or advanced on the Mortgage Loans will be subordinated, to the extent described in this prospectus, to the rights of holders of the Senior Certificates. In particular, the rights of the holders of the Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class H-RR certificates to receive distributions of interest and principal, as applicable, will be subordinated to such rights of the holders of the Senior Certificates. The Class A-S certificates will likewise be protected by the subordination of the Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class H-RR certificates. The Class B certificates will likewise be protected by the subordination of the Class C, Class D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class H-RR certificates. The Class C certificates will likewise be protected by the subordination of the Class D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class H-RR certificates.

348 

This subordination will be effected in two ways: (i) by the preferential right of the holders of a class of certificates to receive on any Distribution Date the amounts of interest and/or principal distributable to them prior to any distribution being made on such Distribution Date in respect of any classes of certificates subordinate to that class (as described above under “—Distributions—Priority of Distributions”) and (ii) by the allocation of Realized Losses to classes of certificates that are subordinate to more senior classes, as described below.

No other form of credit support will be available for the benefit of the Offered Certificates.

Prior to the Cross-Over Date, allocation of principal will be made as described under “—Distributions—Priority of Distributions” above. On or after the Cross-Over Date, allocation of principal will be made to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates that are still outstanding, pro rata (based upon their respective Certificate Balances), without regard to the Class A-SB Planned Principal Balance, until their Certificate Balances have been reduced to zero. See “—Distributions—Priority of Distributions” above.

Allocation to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates, for so long as they are outstanding, of the entire Principal Distribution Amount for each Distribution Date will have the effect of reducing the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates at a proportionately faster rate than the rate at which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans will decline. Therefore, as principal is distributed to the holders of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates, the percentage interest in the issuing entity evidenced by the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates will be decreased (with a corresponding increase in the percentage interest in the issuing entity evidenced by the Subordinate Certificates), thereby increasing, relative to their respective Certificate Balances, the subordination afforded to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates by the Subordinate Certificates.

Following retirement of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates, the successive allocation on each Distribution Date of the remaining Principal Distribution Amount to the Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class H-RR certificates, in that order, for so long as they are outstanding, will provide a similar, but diminishing benefit to those certificates (other than to the Class H-RR certificates) as to the relative amount of subordination afforded by the outstanding classes of certificates with later sequential designations.

On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made to the Certificateholders on that date, the certificate administrator is required to calculate the Realized Loss for such Distribution Date.

The “Realized Loss” with respect to any Distribution Date is the amount, if any, by which (i) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (for purposes of this calculation only, the aggregate Stated Principal Balance will not be reduced by the amount of principal payments received on the Mortgage Loans that were used to reimburse the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee from general collections of principal on the Mortgage Loans for Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts, to the extent those amounts are not otherwise determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) of the Mortgage Loans, including any REO Loans (but in each case, excluding any Companion Loan) expected to be outstanding immediately following that Distribution Date is less than (ii) the then aggregate Certificate

349 

Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates after giving effect to distributions of principal on that Distribution Date. The certificate administrator will be required to allocate any Realized Losses among the respective classes of Principal Balance Certificates in the following order, until the Certificate Balance of each such class is reduced to zero:

first, to the Class H-RR certificates;

second, to the Class G-RR certificates;

third, to the Class F-RR certificates;

fourth, to the Class E-RR certificates;

fifth, to the Class D certificates;

sixth, to the Class C certificates;

seventh, to the Class B certificates; and

eighth, to the Class A-S certificates.

Following the reduction of the Certificate Balances of all classes of Subordinate Certificates to zero, the certificate administrator will be required to allocate Realized Losses among the Senior Certificates (other than the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates), pro rata, based upon their respective Certificate Balances, until their respective Certificate Balances have been reduced to zero.

Realized Losses will not be allocated to the Class V or Class R certificates and will not be directly allocated to the Class X Certificates. However, the Notional Amounts of the classes of Class X Certificates will be reduced if the related classes of Principal Balance Certificates are reduced by such Realized Losses.

In general, Realized Losses could result from the occurrence of: (1) losses and other shortfalls on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans, including as a result of defaults and delinquencies on the related Mortgage Loans, Nonrecoverable Advances made in respect of the Mortgage Loans, the payment to the special servicer of any compensation as described in “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses”, and the payment of interest on Advances and certain servicing expenses; and (2) certain unanticipated, non-Mortgage Loan-specific expenses of the issuing entity, including certain reimbursements to the certificate administrator or trustee as described under “Transaction Parties—The Trustee” or “—The Certificate Administrator”, and certain federal, state and local taxes, and certain tax-related expenses, payable out of the issuing entity, as described under “Material Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

A class of Regular Certificates will be considered outstanding until its Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as the case may be, is reduced to zero. However, notwithstanding a reduction of its Certificate Balance to zero, reimbursements of any previously allocated Realized Losses are required thereafter to be made to a class of Principal Balance Certificates in accordance with the payment priorities set forth in “—Distributions—Priority of Distributions” above.

Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information

Certificate Administrator Reports

On each Distribution Date, based in part on information delivered to it by the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, the certificate administrator will be required to prepare and make available to each Certificateholder of record a Distribution Date Statement providing the information required under Regulation AB and in the form of Annex B relating to distributions made on that date for the relevant class and the recent status of the Mortgage Loans.

In addition, the certificate administrator will include (to the extent it receives such information) (i) the identity of any Mortgage Loans permitting additional debt, identifying (A) the amount of any additional debt incurred during the related Collection Period, (B) the total DSCR calculated on the basis of the mortgage loan and such additional debt and (C) the aggregate loan-to-value ratio calculated on the basis of the mortgage loan and the additional debt in each applicable Form 10-D filed on behalf of the issuing entity and (ii) the beginning and ending account balances for each of the Securitization Accounts (for the applicable period) in each Form 10-D filed on behalf of the issuing entity.

Subject to any potential liability for willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence as described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for Cause” and “—Limitation on Liability; Indemnification”, none of the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee or the certificate administrator will be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any information supplied to it by a borrower, a mortgage loan seller or another party to the PSA or a party under any Non-Serviced PSA that is included in any reports, statements, materials or information prepared or provided by it. Some information will be made available to Certificateholders by electronic transmission as may be agreed upon between the depositor and the certificate administrator.

Before each Distribution Date, the master servicer will deliver to the certificate administrator by electronic means:

● Within 45 days after receipt by the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties) or the master servicer (with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) of any annual operating statements or rent rolls (if and to the extent any such information is in the form of normalized year-end financial statements that has been based on a minimum number of months of operating results as recommended by CREFC^® in the instructions to the CREFC^® guidelines) commencing within 45 days of receipt of such annual operating statement for the calendar year ending December 31, 2019, a CREFC^® net operating income adjustment worksheet, but only to the extent the related borrower is required by the Mortgage Loan documents to deliver and does deliver, or otherwise agrees to provide and does provide, that information, presenting the computation made in accordance with the methodology in the PSA to “normalize” the full year net operating income and debt service coverage numbers used by the master servicer to prepare the CREFC^® comparative financial status report.

Certificate Owners and any holder of a Serviced Companion Loan who are also Privileged Persons may also obtain access to any of the certificate administrator reports upon request and pursuant to the provisions of the PSA.

353 

Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder (each such party, as applicable, an “Excluded Controlling Class Holder”), any Excluded Information via the certificate administrator’s website unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the certificate administrator, in which case such access will only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loans, and (ii) if such party is not the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder, any information other than the Distribution Date Statement; provided, further, however, that, if the special servicer obtains knowledge that it has become a Borrower Party, the special servicer will not directly or indirectly provide any information solely related to any related Excluded Special Servicer Loan, which may include any asset status reports, Final Asset Status Reports (or summaries thereof), and such other information as may be specified in the PSA pertaining to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan to the related Borrower Party, any of the special servicer’s employees or personnel or any of its affiliates involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower Party or the related Mortgaged Property or, to its actual knowledge, any non-affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower Party, and will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with those obligations; provided, further, however, that the special servicer will at all times be a Privileged Person, despite such restriction on information; provided, further, however, that any Excluded Controlling Class Holder will be permitted to reasonably request and obtain from the master servicer or the special servicer, in accordance with terms of the PSA, any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which such Excluded Controlling Class Holder is not a Borrower Party (if such Excluded Information is not otherwise available via the certificate administrator’s website on account of it constituting Excluded Information). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, neither the master servicer nor the certificate administrator will have any obligation to restrict access by the special servicer or any Excluded Special Servicer to any information related to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan.

In determining whether any person is an additional servicer or an affiliate of the operating advisor, the certificate administrator may rely on a certification by the master servicer, the special servicer, a mortgage loan seller or the operating advisor, as the case may be.

“Excluded Loan” means a Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan with respect to which, as of any date of determination, the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the Controlling Class is a Borrower Party. As of the Closing Date, it is expected that there will be no Excluded Loans with respect to this securitization.

“Investor Certification” means a certificate (which may be in electronic form), substantially in the form attached to the PSA or in the form of an electronic certification contained on the certificate administrator’s website (which may be a click-through confirmation), representing (i) that such person executing the certificate is a Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, a beneficial owner of a certificate, a Companion Holder or a prospective purchaser of a certificate (or any investment advisor, manager or other representative of the foregoing), (ii) that either (a) such person is not a Borrower Party, in which case such person will have access to all the reports and information made available to Certificateholders via the certificate administrator’s website under the PSA, or (b) such person is a Borrower Party, in which case (1) if such person is the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, such person will have access to all the reports and information made available to Certificateholders via the certificate administrator’s website under the PSA other than any Excluded Information as set forth in the PSA, or (2) if such person is not the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, such person will only receive access to the Distribution Date Statements prepared by the certificate administrator, (iii) (other than with respect to a Companion Holder) that such person has received a copy of the final prospectus and (iv) such person agrees to keep any Privileged Information confidential and will not violate any securities laws; provided, however, that any Excluded Controlling Class Holder (i) will be permitted to reasonably request and obtain from the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, in accordance with terms of PSA, any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which such Excluded Controlling Class Holder is not a Borrower Party (if such Excluded Information is not otherwise available via the certificate administrator’s website on account of it constituting Excluded Information) and (ii) will be considered a Privileged Person for all other purposes, except with respect to its ability to obtain information with respect to any related Excluded Controlling Class Loan. The certificate administrator may require that Investor Certifications be re-submitted from time to time in accordance with its policies and procedures and will restrict access to the certificate administrator’s website to any mezzanine lender upon notice from any party to the PSA that such mezzanine lender has become an Accelerated Mezzanine Loan Lender.

A “Certificateholder” is the person in whose name a certificate is registered in the certificate register or any beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that solely for the purposes of giving any consent, approval, waiver or taking any action pursuant to the PSA, any certificate registered in the name of or beneficially owned by the master servicer, the

“NRSRO Certification” means a certification (a) executed by an NRSRO or (b) provided electronically and executed by such NRSRO by means of a “click-through” confirmation on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website in favor of the 17g-5 Information Provider that states that such NRSRO is a Rating Agency as such term is defined in the PSA or that such NRSRO has provided the depositor with the appropriate certifications pursuant to paragraph (e) of Rule 17g-5 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 17g-5”), that such NRSRO has access to the depositor’s 17g-5 website, and that such NRSRO will keep such information confidential except to the extent such information has been made available to the general public.

Under the PSA, the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, is required to provide or make available to the holders of any Serviced Companion Loan (or their designee, including the Other Master Servicer or Other Special Servicer) certain other reports, copies and information relating to the related Serviced Whole Loan to the extent required under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

Certain information concerning the Mortgage Loans and the certificates, including the Distribution Date Statements, CREFC^® reports and supplemental notices with respect to such Distribution Date Statements and CREFC^® reports, may be provided by the certificate administrator at the direction of the depositor to certain market data providers, such as Bloomberg, L.P., Trepp, LLC, Intex Solutions, Inc., Interactive Data Corp., Markit Group

356 

Limited, BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., CMBS.com, Moody’s Analytics, MBS Data, LLC and Thomson Reuters Corporation, pursuant to the terms of the PSA.

Upon the reasonable request of any Certificateholder that has delivered an Investor Certification to the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) may provide (or make available electronically) at the expense of such Certificateholder copies of any appraisals, operating statements, rent rolls and financial statements obtained by the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, at the expense of such Certificateholder; provided that in connection with such request, the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, generally to the effect that such person will keep such information confidential and will use such information only for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Certificateholder may have under the PSA.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, such Excluded Controlling Class Holder is required to promptly notify the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor, the trustee and the certificate administrator pursuant to the PSA and provide an Investor Certification pursuant to the PSA and will not be entitled to access any Excluded Information (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the certificate administrator in which case such access will only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s)) made available on the certificate administrator’s website for so long as it is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. The PSA will require each Excluded Controlling Class Holder in such new Investor Certification to certify that it acknowledges and agrees that it is prohibited from accessing and reviewing (and it agrees not to access and review) any Excluded Information. In addition, if the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, such person will certify and agree that they will not share any Excluded Information with any Excluded Controlling Class Holder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth in the PSA will prohibit the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder from receiving, requesting or reviewing any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not available via the certificate administrator’s website on account of it constituting Excluded Information, such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not a Borrower Party with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan will be permitted to obtain such information in accordance with the terms of the PSA.

Any reports on Form 10-D filed by the certificate administrator will (i) contain the information required by Rule 15Ga-1(a) concerning all Mortgage Loans held by the issuing entity that were the subject of a demand to repurchase or replace due to a breach or alleged breach of one or more representations and warranties made by the related mortgage loan seller, (ii) contain a reference to the most recent Form ABS-15G filed by the depositor and the mortgage loan sellers, if applicable, and the SEC’s assigned “Central Index Key” for each such filer, (iii) contain certain account balances to the extent available to the certificate administrator and (iv) incorporate the most recent Form ABS-EE filing by reference (which such Form ABS-EE will be filed on or prior to the filing of the applicable report on Form 10-D).

The certificate administrator will forward such inquiries to the appropriate person and, in the case of an inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the applicable party under the related Non-Serviced PSA. The certificate administrator, the master servicer, the special servicer or the operating advisor, as applicable, will be required to answer each inquiry, unless such party determines (i) the question is beyond the scope of the topics detailed above, (ii) that answering the inquiry would not be in the best interests of the issuing entity and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) that answering the inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the PSA (including requirements in respect of non-disclosure of Privileged Information) or the Mortgage Loan documents, (iv) that answering the inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the special servicer or the operating advisor, as applicable, (v) that answering the inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception), (vi) that answering the inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege or disclosure of attorney work product or (vii) that answering the inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable. In addition, no party will post or otherwise disclose any direct communications with the Directing Certificateholder as part of its responses to any inquiries. In the case of an inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the certificate administrator is required to make reasonable efforts to obtain an answer from the applicable party under the related Non-Serviced PSA; provided that the certificate administrator will not be responsible for the content of such answer, or any delay or failure to obtain such answer. The certificate administrator will be required to post the inquiries and related answers, if any, on the Investor Q&A Forum, subject to and in accordance with the PSA. The Investor Q&A Forum may not reflect questions, answers and other communications that are not submitted through the certificate administrator’s website. Answers posted on the Investor Q&A Forum will be attributable only to the respondent, and will not be deemed to be answers from any of the depositor, the underwriters or any of their respective affiliates. None of the underwriters, depositor, any of their respective affiliates or any other person will certify as to the accuracy of any of the information posted in the Investor Q&A Forum and no such person will have any responsibility or liability for the content of any such information.

The certificate administrator will make the “Investor Registry” available to any Certificateholder and beneficial owner that is a Privileged Person via the certificate administrator’s website. Certificateholders and beneficial owners may register on a voluntary basis for the “Investor Registry” and obtain contact information for any other Certificateholder or beneficial owner that has also registered, provided that they comply with certain requirements as provided for in the PSA.

“17g-5 Information Provider” means the certificate administrator.

The PSA will permit the master servicer and the special servicer, at their respective sole cost and expense, to make available by electronic media, bulletin board service or internet website any reports or other information the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, is required or permitted to provide to any party to the PSA, the Rating Agencies or any Certificateholder or any prospective Certificateholder that has provided the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, with an Investor Certification or has executed a “click-through” confidentiality agreement in accordance with the PSA to the extent such action does not conflict with the terms of the PSA (including, without limitation, any requirements to keep Privileged Information confidential), the terms of the Mortgage Loans or applicable law. However, the availability of such information or reports on the internet or similar electronic media will not be deemed to satisfy any specific delivery requirements in the PSA except as set forth therein.

Except as otherwise set forth in this paragraph, until the time definitive certificates are issued, notices and statements required to be mailed to holders of certificates will be available to Certificate Owners of certificates only to the extent they are forwarded by or otherwise available through DTC and its Participants. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Participants, and by Participants to Certificate Owners, will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Except as otherwise set forth in this paragraph, the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator and the depositor are required to recognize as Certificateholders only those persons in whose names the certificates are registered on the books and records of the certificate registrar.

Voting Rights

At all times during the term of the PSA, the voting rights for the certificates (the “Voting Rights”) will be allocated among the respective classes of Certificateholders as follows:

(1)       2% in the case of the Class X Certificates, allocated pro rata, based upon their respective Notional Amounts as of the date of determination, and

(2)       in the case of any Principal Balance Certificates, a percentage equal to the product of 98% and a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance (and solely in connection with certain votes relating to the replacement of the special servicer or the operating advisor as described in this prospectus, taking into account any notional reduction in the Certificate Balance for Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to the certificates) of the class, in each case, determined as of the prior Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance (and solely in connection with certain votes relating to the replacement of the special servicer or the operating advisor as described in this prospectus, taking into account any notional reduction in the Certificate Balance for Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to the certificates) of the Principal Balance Certificates, determined as of the prior Distribution Date.

The Voting Rights of any class of certificates are required to be allocated among Certificateholders of such class in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

The Class V and Class R certificates will not be entitled to any Voting Rights.

information has been provided in writing with the name of the Certificate Owner of such an Offered Certificate (or the prospective transferee of such Certificate Owner), such report, statement or other information will be provided to such Certificate Owner (or prospective transferee).

Until Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of the Offered Certificates, interests in the Offered Certificates will be transferred on the book-entry records of DTC and its Participants. The certificate administrator will initially serve as certificate registrar for purposes of recording and otherwise providing for the registration of the Offered Certificates.

Holders of Offered Certificates may hold their certificates through DTC (in the United States) or Clearstream or Euroclear (in Europe) if they are Participants of such system, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold omnibus positions on behalf of the Clearstream Participants and the Euroclear Participants, respectively, through customers’ securities accounts in Clearstream’s and Euroclear’s names on the books of their respective depositories (collectively, the “Depositories”), which in turn will hold such positions in customers’ securities accounts in the Depositories’ names on the books of DTC. DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its Participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Participants through electronic computerized book-entries, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Participants (“DTC Participants”) include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations. Indirect access to the DTC system also is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”).

Transfers between DTC Participants will occur in accordance with DTC rules. Transfers between Clearstream Participants and Euroclear Participants will occur in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear.

Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC, on the one hand, and directly through Clearstream Participants or Euroclear Participants, on the other, will be effected in DTC in accordance with DTC rules on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by its Depository; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines (European time). The relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its Depository to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving securities in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Clearstream Participants and Euroclear Participants may not deliver instructions directly to the Depositories.

Because of time-zone differences, credits of securities in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a DTC Participant will be made during the subsequent securities settlement processing, dated the business day following the DTC settlement date, and such credits or any transactions in such securities settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Clearstream Participant or Euroclear Participant on such business day. Cash

received in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of sales of securities by or through a Clearstream Participant or a Euroclear Participant to a DTC Participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Clearstream or Euroclear cash account only as of the business day following settlement in DTC.

The holders of Offered Certificates that are not Participants or Indirect Participants but desire to purchase, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of, or other interests in, such Offered Certificates may do so only through Participants and Indirect Participants. In addition, holders of Offered Certificates in global form (“Certificate Owners”) will receive all distributions of principal and interest through the Participants who in turn will receive them from DTC. Under a book-entry format, holders of such Offered Certificates may experience some delay in their receipt of payments, since such payments will be forwarded by the certificate administrator to Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. DTC will forward such payments to its Participants, which thereafter will forward them to Indirect Participants or the applicable Certificate Owners. Certificate Owners will not be recognized by the trustee, the certificate administrator, the certificate registrar, the operating advisor, the special servicer or the master servicer as holders of record of certificates and Certificate Owners will be permitted to receive information furnished to Certificateholders and to exercise the rights of Certificateholders only indirectly through DTC and its Participants and Indirect Participants, except that Certificate Owners will be entitled to receive or have access to notices and information and to exercise certain rights as holders of beneficial interests in the certificates through the certificate administrator and the trustee to the extent described in “—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”, “—Certificateholder Communication” and “—List of Certificateholders” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor”, “—The Asset Representations Reviewer”,”—Replacement of the Special Servicer Without Cause”, “—Replacement of the Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and Certificateholder Vote”, “—Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders to Institute a Proceeding”, “—Termination; Retirement of Certificates” and “—Resignation and Removal of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator”.

Under the rules, regulations and procedures creating and affecting DTC and its operations (the “DTC Rules”), DTC is required to make book-entry transfers of Offered Certificates in global form among Participants on whose behalf it acts with respect to such Offered Certificates and to receive and transmit distributions of principal of, and interest on, such Offered Certificates. Participants and Indirect Participants with which the Certificate Owners have accounts with respect to the Offered Certificates similarly are required to make book-entry transfers and receive and transmit such payments on behalf of their respective Certificate Owners. Accordingly, although the Certificate Owners will not possess the Offered Certificates, the DTC Rules provide a mechanism by which Certificate Owners will receive payments on Offered Certificates and will be able to transfer their interest.

Because DTC can only act on behalf of Participants, who in turn act on behalf of Indirect Participants and certain banks, the ability of a holder of Offered Certificates in global form to pledge such Offered Certificates to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system, or to otherwise act with respect to such Offered Certificates, may be limited due to the lack of a physical certificate for such Offered Certificates.

DTC has advised the depositor that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of an Offered Certificate under the PSA only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose accounts with DTC such certificate is credited. DTC may take conflicting actions with respect to other undivided interests to the extent that such actions are taken on behalf of Participants whose holdings include such undivided interests.

Clearstream is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg and is a global securities settlement clearing house. Clearstream holds securities for its participating organizations (“Clearstream Participants”) and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of Clearstream Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Transactions may be settled in Clearstream in numerous currencies, including United States dollars. Clearstream provides to its Clearstream Participants, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. Clearstream is regulated as a bank by the Luxembourg Monetary Institute. Clearstream Participants are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream Participant, either directly or indirectly.

Euroclear was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of the Euroclear system (“Euroclear Participants”) and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear Participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Transactions may now be settled in any of numerous currencies, including United States dollars. The Euroclear system includes various other services, including securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with domestic markets in several countries generally similar to the arrangements for cross-market transfers with DTC described above. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (the “Euroclear Operator”). All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator. Euroclear Participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to the Euroclear system is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear Participant, either directly or indirectly.

Securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with the Euroclear Operator are governed by the Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related operating procedures of the Euroclear System and applicable Belgian law (collectively, the “Terms and Conditions”). The Terms and Conditions govern transfers of securities and cash within the Euroclear system, withdrawal of securities and cash from the Euroclear system, and receipts of payments with respect to securities in the Euroclear system. All securities in the Euroclear system are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts. The Euroclear Operator acts under the Terms and Conditions only on behalf of Euroclear Participants and has no record of or relationship with persons holding through Euroclear Participants.

Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have implemented the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in book-entry securities among Participants of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to comply with such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. None of the depositor, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the special servicer or the underwriters will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective direct or indirect Participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Definitive Certificates

Owners of beneficial interests in book-entry certificates of any class will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Certificates unless: (i) DTC advises the certificate registrar in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the book-entry certificates of such class or ceases to be a clearing agency, and the certificate administrator and the depositor are unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days of such notice or (ii) the trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Certificateholders of such class and the trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the trustee to obtain possession of the certificates of such class.

The Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class H-RR certificates may only be issued as Definitive Certificates and held by the certificate administrator pursuant to the PSA. Any request for release of a Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR or Class H-RR certificate is subject to any additional requirements pursuant to the PSA.

The Class R certificates may only be issued as Definitive Certificates.

Certificateholder Communication

Access to Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses

Upon the written request of any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner that has delivered an executed Investor Certification to the trustee or the certificate administrator (a “Certifying Certificateholder”), the certificate administrator (in its capacity as certificate registrar) will promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to such requesting party a list of the names and addresses of the certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date as they appear in the certificate register, at the expense of the requesting party.

Requests to Communicate

The PSA will require that the certificate administrator include on any Form 10–D any request received prior to the Distribution Date to which such Form 10-D relates (and on or after the Distribution Date preceding such Distribution Date) from a Certificateholder or Certificate Owner to communicate with other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners related to Certificateholders or Certificate Owners exercising their rights under the terms of the PSA. Any Form 10-D containing such disclosure regarding the request to communicate is required to include the following and no more than the following: (i) the name of the Certificateholder or Certificate Owner making the request, (ii) the date the request was received, (iii) a statement to the effect that the certificate administrator has received such request, stating that such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner is interested in communicating with other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners with regard to the possible exercise of rights under the PSA, and (iv) a description of the method other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners may use to contact the requesting Certificateholder or Certificate Owner.

367 

Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner wishing to communicate with other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners regarding the exercise of its rights under the terms of the PSA (such party, a “Requesting Investor”) should deliver a written request (a “Communication Request”) signed by an authorized representative of the Requesting Investor to the certificate administrator at the address below:

9062 Old Annapolis Road
Columbia, Maryland 21045
Attention: Corporate Trust Administration Group – WFCM 2018-C48

With a copy to:
trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com

Any Communication Request must contain the name of the Requesting Investor and the method other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners should use to contact the Requesting Investor, and, if the Requesting Investor is not the registered holder of a class of certificates, then the Communication Request must contain (i) a written certification from the Requesting Investor that it is a beneficial owner of a class of certificates, and (ii) one of the following forms of documentation evidencing its beneficial ownership in such class of certificates: (A) a trade confirmation, (B) an account statement, (C) a medallion stamp guaranteed letter from a broker or dealer stating the Requesting Investor is the beneficial owner, or (D) a document acceptable to the certificate administrator that is similar to any of the documents identified in clauses (A) through (C).

Requesting Investors will be responsible for their own expenses in making any Communication Request, but will not be required to bear any expenses of the certificate administrator.

List of Certificateholders

Upon the written request of any Certificateholder, which is required to include a copy of the communication the Certificateholder proposes to transmit, that has provided an Investor Certification, which request is made for purposes of communicating with other holders of certificates of the same series with respect to their rights under the PSA or the certificates, the certificate registrar or other specified person will, within 10 business days after receipt of such request afford such Certificateholder (at such Certificateholder’s sole cost and expense) access during normal business hours to the most recent list of Certificateholders related to the class of certificates.

in each case, to the extent that the originator received such documents or information in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan. In the event any of the items identified above were not included in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan (other than documents that would not be included in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan because such document is inapplicable to the origination of a Mortgage Loan of that structure or type), the Diligence File will be required to include a statement to that effect. No information that is proprietary to the related originator or mortgage loan seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications will constitute part of the Diligence File. It is generally not required to include any of the same items identified above again if such items have already been included under another clause of the definition of Diligence File, and the Diligence File will be required to include a statement to that effect. The mortgage loan seller may, without any obligation to do so, include such other documents or information as part of the Diligence File that such mortgage loan seller believes should be included to enable the asset representations reviewer to perform the Asset Review on such Mortgage Loan; provided that such documents or information are clearly labeled and identified.

Each MLPA will contain certain representations and warranties of the applicable mortgage loan seller with respect to each Mortgage Loan sold by that mortgage loan seller. Those representations and warranties are set forth in Annex D-1, and will be made as of the Closing Date, or as of another date specifically provided in the representation and warranty, subject to certain exceptions to such representations and warranties as set forth in Annex D-2.

If any of the documents required to be included in the Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan is missing from the Mortgage File or is defective or if there is a breach of a representation or warranty relating to any Mortgage Loan, and, in either case, such omission, defect or breach materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of any Certificateholders in the Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property or causes the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated as a “qualified mortgage” (a “Material Defect”), the applicable mortgage loan seller (or Benefit Street Partners Realty Trust, Inc., as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC, or in the case of Basis Real Estate Capital, Basis) will be required to, no later than 90 days following:

(x) such mortgage loan seller’s discovery of the Material Defect or receipt of notice of the Material Defect from any party to the PSA (a “Breach Notice”), except in the case of the following clause (y); or

(y) in the case of such Material Defect that would cause the Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated as a qualified mortgage, the earlier of (A) discovery by the related mortgage loan seller or any party to the PSA of such Material Defect, or (B) receipt of a Breach Notice by the mortgage loan seller,

(A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at its own expense,

(B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan at the Purchase Price, or

(C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to any Whole Loans, as applicable, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such

373 

affected Mortgage Loan, and pay a shortfall amount in connection with such substitution;

provided that no such substitution may occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the applicable mortgage loan seller (or Benefit Street Partners Realty Trust, Inc., as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC) will generally have an additional 90-day period to cure such Material Defect (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan or, if applicable, substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to any related Whole Loan, for which no substitution will be permitted), if it is diligently proceeding toward that cure, and has delivered to the master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator (who will promptly deliver a copy of such officer’s certificate to the 17g-5 Information Provider), the trustee, the operating advisor and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, an officer’s certificate that describes the reasons that a cure was not effected within the initial 90-day period; provided that if any such Material Defect is not cured after the initial cure period and any such extended cure period solely due to the failure of the mortgage loan seller to have received the recorded document, then the mortgage loan seller will be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect until eighteen (18) months after the closing date so long as the mortgage loan seller certifies to the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the certificate administrator no less than every ninety (90) days beginning at the end of such extended cure period, that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the mortgage loan seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). Notwithstanding the foregoing, there will be no such 90-day extension if such Material Defect would cause the related Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage.

However, a delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect or in providing notice of such Material Defect will relieve the applicable mortgage loan seller (or Benefit Street Partners Realty Trust, Inc., as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC) of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute for (or make a Loss of Value Payment with respect to) the related Mortgage Loan if (i) the mortgage loan seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is the result of the failure by a party to the PSA to promptly provide a notice of such Material Defect as required by the terms of the MLPA or the PSA after such party has actual knowledge of such defect or breach (knowledge will not be deemed to exist by reason of the custodian’s exception report), (iii) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated as a qualified mortgage, and (iv) such delay or failure to provide notice (as required by the terms of the MLPA or PSA) prevented the mortgage loan seller from curing such Material Defect and such Material Defect was otherwise curable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a borrower), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC financing statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan will not be a Material Defect.

374 

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the applicable mortgage loan seller will not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released pursuant to such terms), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the applicable mortgage loan seller provides an opinion of counsel to the effect that such release in lieu of repurchase would not (A) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the issuing entity and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of a mortgage loan seller repurchasing, substituting or curing such Material Defect, to the extent that the mortgage loan seller and the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable (in either case with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder in respect of any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan and for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) are able to agree upon a cash payment payable by the mortgage loan seller to the issuing entity that would be deemed sufficient to compensate the issuing entity for such Material Defect (a “Loss of Value Payment”), the mortgage loan seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment. Upon its making such payment, the mortgage loan seller will be deemed to have cured such Material Defect in all respects. A Loss of Value Payment may not be made with respect to any such Material Defect that would cause the applicable Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage.

In addition, each MLPA provides that, with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, if a material document defect exists under the related Non-Serviced PSA, and the related seller repurchases the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan from the related non-serviced securitization trust, such mortgage loan seller is required to repurchase the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that no such repurchase obligation will apply to any material document defect related solely to the promissory notes for any Companion Loan contained in the related non-serviced securitization trust.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan, the “Purchase Price” equals the sum of (1) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan (or related REO Loan (excluding, for such purpose, the related Companion Loan, if applicable)), as of the date of purchase, (2) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan (or any related REO Loan (excluding, for such purpose, the related Companion Loan, if applicable)) at the related Mortgage Rate in effect from time to time (excluding any portion of such interest that represents default interest or Excess Interest on an ARD Loan), to, but not including, the due date immediately preceding or coinciding with the Determination Date for the Collection Period of purchase, (3) all related unreimbursed Servicing Advances plus accrued and unpaid interest on all related Advances at the Reimbursement Rate, Special Servicing Fees (whether paid or unpaid) and any other additional trust fund expenses (except for Liquidation Fees) in respect of such Mortgage Loan or related REO Loan (excluding, for such purposes, any Companion Loan, if any), (4) solely in the case of a repurchase or substitution by a mortgage loan seller, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred or to be incurred by the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, the certificate administrator or the trustee in respect of the omission, breach or defect giving rise to the repurchase or substitution obligation, including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the repurchase or substitution obligation, including, without limitation, legal

375 

fees and expenses and any additional trust fund expenses relating to such Mortgage Loan or related REO Loan; provided, however, that such out-of-pocket expenses will not include expenses incurred by investors in instituting an Asset Review Vote Election, in taking part in an Asset Review Vote or in utilizing the dispute resolution provisions described below under “—Dispute Resolution Provisions”, (5) Liquidation Fees, if any, payable with respect to the affected Mortgage Loan or related REO Loan (which will not include any Liquidation Fees if such affected Mortgage Loan is repurchased or a Loss of Value Payment is received during the initial 90-day period or, if applicable, prior to the expiration of the additional 90-day period immediately following the initial 90-day period) and (6) solely in the case of a repurchase or substitution by the related mortgage loan seller, the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee for such Mortgage Loan, to the extent not previously paid by the related mortgage loan seller.

A “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” is a substitute mortgage loan (other than with respect to any Whole Loan, for which no substitution will be permitted) replacing a Mortgage Loan with respect to which a material breach or document defect exists that must, on the date of substitution:

(a)       have an outstanding principal balance, after application of all scheduled payments of principal and interest due during or prior to the month of substitution, whether or not received, not in excess of the Stated Principal Balance of the removed Mortgage Loan as of the due date in the calendar month during which the substitution occurs;

(b)       have a fixed Mortgage Rate not less than the Mortgage Rate of the removed Mortgage Loan (determined without regard to any prior modification, waiver or amendment of the terms of the removed Mortgage Loan);

(c)       have the same due date and a grace period no longer than that of the removed Mortgage Loan;

(d)       accrue interest on the same basis as the removed Mortgage Loan (for example, on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months);

(e)       have a remaining term to stated maturity not greater than, and not more than five years less than, the remaining term to stated maturity of the removed Mortgage Loan;

(f)       have a then-current loan-to-value ratio equal to or less than the lesser of (i) the loan-to-value ratio for the removed Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date and (ii) 75%, in each case using a “value” for the Mortgaged Property as determined using an appraisal conducted by a member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) prepared in accordance with the requirements of the FIRREA;

(g)       comply as of the date of substitution in all material respects with all of the representations and warranties set forth in the related MLPA;

(h)       have an environmental report that indicates no material adverse environmental conditions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and that will be delivered as a part of the related Mortgage File;

(i)       have a then-current debt service coverage ratio at least equal to the greater of (i) the original debt service coverage ratio of the removed Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date and (ii) 1.25x;

376 

(j)       constitute a “qualified replacement mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(4) as evidenced by an opinion of counsel (provided at the related mortgage loan seller’s expense);

(k)       not have a maturity date or an amortization period that extends to a date that is after the date five years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date;

(l)       have comparable prepayment restrictions to those of the removed Mortgage Loan;

(m)       not be substituted for a removed Mortgage Loan unless the trustee and the certificate administrator have received a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies (the cost, if any, of obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation to be paid by the related mortgage loan seller);

(n)       have been approved, so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and the affected Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan, by the Directing Certificateholder;

(o)       prohibit defeasance within two years of the Closing Date;

(p)       not be substituted for a removed Mortgage Loan if it would result in the termination of the REMIC status of any Trust REMIC or the imposition of tax on the Trust or any Trust REMIC other than a tax on income expressly permitted or contemplated to be imposed by the terms of the PSA, as determined by an opinion of counsel at the cost of the related mortgage loan seller;

(q)       have an engineering report that indicates no material adverse property condition or deferred maintenance with respect to the related Mortgaged Property that will be delivered as a part of the related servicing file; and

(r)       be current in the payment of all scheduled payments of principal and interest then due.

In the event that more than one Mortgage Loan is substituted for a removed Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans, then (x) the amounts described in clause (a) are required to be determined on the basis of aggregate principal balances and (y) each such proposed Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan must individually satisfy each of the requirements specified in clauses (b) through (r) of the preceding sentence, except (z) the rates described in clause (b) above and the remaining term to stated maturity referred to in clause (e) above are required to be determined on a weighted average basis, provided that no individual Mortgage Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate, the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee Rate, the Operating Advisor Fee Rate, the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate and the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee Rate) may be lower than the highest fixed Pass-Through Rate (not based on or subject to a cap equal to or based on the WAC Rate) of any class of Principal Balance Certificates having a principal balance then-outstanding. When a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted for a removed Mortgage Loan, the applicable mortgage loan seller will be required to certify that the Mortgage Loan meets all of the requirements of the above definition and send the certification to the trustee the certificate administrator and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder.

The foregoing repurchase or substitution obligation or the obligation to pay the Loss of Value Payment will constitute the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the trustee under the PSA for any uncured breach of any mortgage loan seller’s representations

377 

and warranties regarding the Mortgage Loans or any uncured document defect; provided, that if any breach pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related borrower to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the applicable mortgage loan seller (or Benefit Street Partners Realty Trust, Inc., as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC) may cure such breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the issuing entity (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by parties to the PSA or the issuing entity that are incurred as a result of such breach and have not been reimbursed by the related borrower and (ii) the amount of any fees of the asset representations reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided, further, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the applicable mortgage loan seller (or, Benefit Street Partners Realty Trust, Inc., as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC) will have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses. The applicable mortgage loan seller will (or, Benefit Street Partners Realty Trust, Inc., as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC) remit the amount of these costs and expenses and upon its making such remittance, the applicable mortgage loan seller (or other applicable party) will be deemed to have cured the breach in all respects. The applicable mortgage loan seller (or Benefit Street Partners Realty Trust, Inc., as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC) will be the sole warranting party in respect of the Mortgage Loans sold by that mortgage loan seller to the depositor, and none of its affiliates and no other person will be obligated to repurchase or replace any affected Mortgage Loan or make a Loss of Value Payment in connection with a breach of any representation and warranty or in connection with a document defect if the applicable mortgage loan seller defaults on its obligation to do so.

Dispute Resolution Provisions

The mortgage loan seller will be subject to the dispute resolution provisions described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Dispute Resolution Provisions” to the extent those provisions are triggered with respect to any mortgage loan sold to the depositor by the mortgage loan seller and will be obligated under the related MLPA to comply with all applicable provisions and to take part in any mediation or arbitration proceedings that may result.

Asset Review Obligations

The mortgage loan seller will be obligated to perform its obligations described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Asset Representations Reviewer—Asset Review” relating to any Asset Reviews performed by the asset representations reviewer, and the mortgage loan seller will have the rights described under that heading.

Pooling and Servicing Agreement

General

The servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any related Serviced Companion Loan and any related REO Properties (including any interest of the holder of any Companion Loan in the REO Property acquired with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan) will be governed by the PSA and any related Intercreditor Agreement.

378 

Each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Companion Loans and any related REO Properties (including the issuing entity’s interest in REO Property acquired with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan) will be serviced by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer under the related Non-Serviced PSA in accordance with such Non-Serviced PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically stated and except where the context otherwise indicates (such as with respect to P&I Advances), discussions in this section or in any other section of this prospectus regarding the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans should be deemed to include the servicing and administration of the related Serviced Companion Loans but not to include any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Non-Serviced Companion Loan and any related REO Property.

The following summaries describe certain provisions of the PSA relating to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans (excluding each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any related Companion Loan and any related REO Properties. In the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, certain provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement are described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced Whole Loans”.

Certain provisions of each Non-Serviced PSA relating to the servicing and administration of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Companion Loans, the related REO Properties and the related Intercreditor Agreement are summarized under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans” and “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” below.

Assignment of the Mortgage Loans

The depositor will purchase the Mortgage Loans to be included in the issuing entity on or before the Closing Date from each of the mortgage loan sellers pursuant to separate MLPAs. See “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers” and “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”.

On the Closing Date, the depositor will sell, transfer or otherwise convey, assign or cause the assignment of the Mortgage Loans, without recourse, together with the depositor’s rights and remedies against the mortgage loan sellers under the MLPAs, to the trustee for the benefit of the holders of the certificates. On or prior to the Closing Date, the depositor will require each mortgage loan seller to deliver to the certificate administrator, in its capacity as custodian, the Mortgage Notes and certain other documents and instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan. The custodian will hold such documents in the name of the issuing entity for the benefit of the holders of the certificates. The custodian is obligated to review certain documents for each Mortgage Loan within 60 days of the Closing Date and report any missing documents or certain types of document defects to the parties to the PSA, the Directing Certificateholder (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than in respect of an Excluded Loan) and the related mortgage loan seller.

In addition, pursuant to the related MLPA, each mortgage loan seller will be required to deliver the Diligence File for each of its Mortgage Loans to the depositor by uploading such Diligence File to the designated website within 60 days following the Closing Date, and the depositor will deliver to the certificate administrator an electronic copy of such Diligence Files to be posted to the secure data room.

379 

Pursuant to the PSA, the depositor will assign to the trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders the representations and warranties made by the mortgage loan sellers to the depositor in the MLPAs and any rights and remedies that the depositor has against the mortgage loan sellers under the MLPAs with respect to any Material Defect. See “—Enforcement of Mortgage Loan Seller’s Obligations Under the MLPA” below and “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”.

Servicing Standard

The master servicer and the special servicer will be required to diligently service and administer the Mortgage Loans (excluding each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and the related REO Properties (other than any REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) for which it is responsible in accordance with applicable law, the terms of the PSA, the Mortgage Loan documents, and the related Intercreditor Agreements and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, in accordance with the higher of the following standards of care: (1) the same manner in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, services and administers similar mortgage loans for other third-party portfolios, and (2) the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, services and administers similar mortgage loans owned by the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, with a view to: (A) the timely recovery of all payments of principal and interest under the Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Whole Loan or (B) in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property, the maximization of recovery of principal and interest on a net present value basis on the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, and the best interests of the issuing entity and the Certificateholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constituted a single lender) (and, in the case of any Whole Loan, the best interests of the issuing entity, the Certificateholders and the holder of the related Companion Loan (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the holder or holders of the related Companion Loan constituted a single lender), taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature, as applicable, of the related Companion Loan), as determined by the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, in its reasonable judgment, in either case giving due consideration to the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent, institutional commercial and multifamily mortgage loan servicers, but without regard to any conflict of interest arising from:

(A)       any relationship that the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, or any of their respective affiliates, may have with any of the underlying borrowers, the sponsors, the mortgage loan sellers, the originators, any party to the PSA or any affiliate of the foregoing;

(B)       the ownership of any certificate (or any interest in any Companion Loan, mezzanine loan or subordinate debt relating to a Mortgage Loan) by the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, or any of their respective affiliates;

(C)       the obligation, if any, of the master servicer to make advances;

(D)       the right of the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, or any of its affiliates to receive compensation or reimbursement of costs under the PSA generally or with respect to any particular transaction;

(E)       the ownership, servicing or management for others of (i) a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Non-Serviced Companion Loan or (ii) any other

380 

mortgage loans, subordinate debt, mezzanine loans or properties not covered by the PSA or held by the issuing entity by the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, or any of its affiliates;

(F)       any debt that the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, or any of its affiliates, has extended to any underlying borrower or an affiliate of any borrower (including, without limitation, any mezzanine financing);

(G)       any option to purchase any Mortgage Loan or the related Companion Loan the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, or any of its affiliates, may have; and

(H)       any obligation of the master servicer or special servicer, or any of their respective affiliates, to repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan as a mortgage loan seller (if the master servicer or special servicer or any of their respective affiliates is a mortgage loan seller) (the foregoing, collectively referred to as the “Servicing Standard”).

All net present value calculations and determinations made under the PSA with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Mortgaged Property or REO Property (including for purposes of the definition of “Servicing Standard” set forth above) will be made in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents or, in the event the Mortgage Loan documents are silent, by using a discount rate (i) for principal and interest payments on the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or sale by the special servicer of a Defaulted Loan, the highest of (1) the rate determined by the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, that approximates the market rate that would be obtainable by the related borrower on similar non-defaulted debt of such borrower as of such date of determination, (2) the Mortgage Rate and (3) the yield on 10-year U.S. treasuries as of such date of determination and (ii) for all other cash flows, including property cash flow, the “discount rate” set forth in the most recent appraisal (or updated appraisal) of the related Mortgaged Property.

In the case of each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the master servicer and the special servicer will be required to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard with respect to any action required to be taken regarding such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to their respective obligations under the PSA.

Subservicing

The master servicer and the special servicer may delegate and/or assign some or all of its respective servicing obligations and duties with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to one or more third-party sub-servicers, provided that the master servicer and the special servicer, as applicable, will remain obligated under the PSA. A sub-servicer may be an affiliate of the depositor, the master servicer or the special servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the special servicer may not enter into any sub-servicing agreement which provides for the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations under the PSA without, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, except to the extent necessary for the special servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

Each sub-servicing agreement between the master servicer or special servicer and a sub-servicer (a “Sub-Servicing Agreement”) will generally be required to provide that (i) if for any reason the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, is no longer acting in

381 

that capacity (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer Termination Event), the trustee or any successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, may, except with respect to certain initial Sub-Servicing Agreements, assume or terminate such party’s rights and obligations under such Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) the sub-servicer will be in default under such Sub-Servicing Agreement and such Sub-Servicing Agreement will be terminated (following the expiration of any applicable grace period) if the sub-servicer fails (A) to deliver by the due date any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered to the master servicer, the certificate administrator or the depositor pursuant to the PSA or such Sub-Servicing Agreement or to the master servicer under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the depositor is a party to, or (B) to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations contained in such Sub-Servicing Agreement regarding creating, obtaining or delivering any Exchange Act reporting items required in order for any party to the PSA to perform its obligations under the PSA or under the Exchange Act reporting requirements of any other pooling and servicing agreement to which the depositor is a party. The master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, will be required to monitor the performance of sub-servicers retained by it and, subject to the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, will have the right to remove a sub-servicer retained by it at any time it considers removal to be in the best interests of Certificateholders. However, no sub-servicer will be permitted under any Sub-Servicing Agreement to make material servicing decisions, such as loan modifications or determinations as to the manner or timing of enforcing remedies under the Mortgage Loan documents, without the consent of the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable.

Generally, the master servicer will be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any sub-servicer retained by the master servicer, without regard to whether the master servicer’s compensation pursuant to the PSA is sufficient to pay those fees. Each sub-servicer will be required to be reimbursed by the master servicer for certain expenditures which such sub-servicer makes, only to the same extent the master servicer is reimbursed under the PSA.

Advances

P&I Advances

On the business day immediately preceding each Distribution Date (the “P&I Advance Date”), except as otherwise described below, the master servicer will be obligated, unless determined to be nonrecoverable as described below, to make advances (each, a “P&I Advance”) out of its own funds or, subject to the replacement of those funds as provided in the PSA, certain funds held in the Collection Account that are not required to be part of the Available Funds for that Distribution Date, in an amount equal to (but subject to reduction as described below) the aggregate of:

(1)       all Periodic Payments (other than balloon payments) (net of any applicable Servicing Fees) that were due on the Mortgage Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) during the related Collection Period and not received as of the business day preceding the P&I Advance Date; and

(2)       in the case of each Mortgage Loan that is delinquent in respect of its balloon payment as of the P&I Advance Date (including any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) as to which the balloon payment would have been past due), an amount equal to its Assumed Scheduled Payment.

382 

The master servicer’s obligations to make P&I Advances in respect of any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) will continue, except if a determination as to non-recoverability is made, through and up to liquidation of the Mortgage Loan or disposition of the REO Property, as the case may be. To the extent that the master servicer fails to make a P&I Advance that it is required to make under the PSA, the trustee will be required to make the required P&I Advance in accordance with the terms of the PSA.

If an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been determined with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, an appraisal reduction has been made in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA and the master servicer has notice of such appraisal reduction amount) and such Mortgage Loan experiences subsequent delinquencies, then the interest portion of any P&I Advance in respect of that Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date will be reduced (there will be no reduction in the principal portion, if any, of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (x) the amount of the interest portion of the P&I Advance for that Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date without regard to this sentence, and (y) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of that Mortgage Loan immediately prior to the related Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount (or, in the case of any Whole Loan, the portion of such Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the related Mortgage Loan), if any, and the denominator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of that Mortgage Loan immediately prior to the related Distribution Date.

Neither the master servicer nor the trustee will be required to make a P&I Advance for a balloon payment, default interest, late payment charges, Yield Maintenance Charges, Prepayment Premiums or Excess Interest or with respect to any Companion Loan.

Servicing Advances

In addition to P&I Advances, except as otherwise described under “—Recovery of Advances” below and except in certain limited circumstances described below, the master servicer will also be obligated (subject to the limitations described in this prospectus), to make advances (“Servicing Advances” and, collectively with P&I Advances, “Advances”) in connection with the servicing and administration of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, in respect of which a default, delinquency or other unanticipated event has occurred or is reasonably foreseeable, or, in connection with the servicing and administration of any Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Property (other than REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), in order to pay delinquent real estate taxes, assessments and hazard insurance premiums and to cover other similar costs and expenses necessary to preserve the priority of or enforce the related Mortgage Loan documents or to protect, lease, manage and maintain the related Mortgaged Property. To the extent that the master servicer fails to make a Servicing Advance that it is required to make under the PSA and the trustee has received notice or otherwise has actual knowledge of this failure, the trustee will be required to make the required Servicing Advance in accordance with the terms of the PSA.

However, none of the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee will make any Servicing Advance in connection with the exercise of any cure rights or purchase rights granted to the holder of a Serviced Companion Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement or the PSA.

383 

The special servicer will have no obligation to make any Advances. However, in an urgent or emergency situation requiring the making of a Servicing Advance, the special servicer, in its sole discretion, may make such Servicing Advance, and the master servicer will be required to reimburse the special servicer for such Advance (with interest on that Advance) within a specified number of days as set forth in the PSA, unless such Advance is determined to be nonrecoverable by the master servicer in its reasonable judgment (in which case it will be reimbursed out of the Collection Account). Once the special servicer is reimbursed, the master servicer will be deemed to have made the special servicer’s Servicing Advance as of the date made by the special servicer, and will be entitled to reimbursement with interest on that Advance in accordance with the terms of the PSA.

No Servicing Advances will be made with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan if the related Mortgage Loan is no longer held by the issuing entity or if such Serviced Whole Loan is no longer serviced under the PSA and no Servicing Advances will be made for any Non-Serviced Whole Loans under the PSA. Any requirement of the master servicer or the trustee to make an Advance in the PSA is intended solely to provide liquidity for the benefit of the Certificateholders and not as credit support or otherwise to impose on any such person the risk of loss with respect to one or more Mortgage Loans or the related Companion Loan.

The master servicer will also be obligated to make Servicing Advances with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan. With respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, the applicable servicer under the related Non-Serviced PSA will be obligated to make property protection advances with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan. See “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

Nonrecoverable Advances

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee will be obligated to make any Advance that the master servicer or the special servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or the trustee, in its good faith business judgment, determines would, if made, not be recoverable (including recovery of interest on the Advance) out of Related Proceeds (a “Nonrecoverable Advance”). In addition, the special servicer may, at its option make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and if it makes such a determination, must deliver to the master servicer (and, with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, to the master servicer or special servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement governing any securitization trust into which a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is deposited, and, with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer), the certificate administrator, the trustee, the operating advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination, which determination may be conclusively relied upon by, but will not be binding upon, the master servicer and the trustee. The special servicer will have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance is, or would be, recoverable, and in the absence of a determination by the special servicer that such an Advance is nonrecoverable, each such decision will remain with the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable. If the special servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance is nonrecoverable, the master servicer and the trustee will have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance is nonrecoverable.

384 

In making such non-recoverability determination, each person will be entitled to consider (among other things): (a) (i) the obligations of the borrower under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, as it may have been modified, and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) estimated future expenses, (c) estimated timing of recoveries, and (d) the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances which, at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which are being deferred or delayed by the master servicer or the trustee because there is insufficient principal available for such recovery, in light of the fact that Related Proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential source of recovery for such delayed or deferred Advance. In addition, any such person may update or change its recoverability determinations (but not reverse any other person’s determination that an Advance is nonrecoverable) at any time and may obtain at the expense of the issuing entity any reasonably required analysis, appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes. Absent bad faith, any non-recoverability determination described in this paragraph will be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders, and may be conclusively relied upon by, but is not binding upon, the master servicer and the trustee. The master servicer and the trustee will be entitled to rely conclusively on any non-recoverability determination of the special servicer. Nonrecoverable Advances will represent a portion of the losses to be borne by the Certificateholders.

With respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, if any servicer under the related Non-Serviced PSA determines that a principal and interest advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, if made, would be nonrecoverable, such determination will not be binding on the master servicer and the trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. Similarly, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the master servicer or the special servicer determines that any P&I Advance with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, would be nonrecoverable, such determination will not be binding on the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee as such determination relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan (unless the related Non-Serviced PSA provides otherwise).

Recovery of Advances

The master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to recover (a) any Servicing Advance made out of its own funds from any amounts collected in respect of a Mortgage Loan (or, consistent with the related Intercreditor Agreement, a Serviced Whole Loan) as to which such Servicing Advance was made, and (b) any P&I Advance made out of its own funds from any amounts collected in respect of the Mortgage Loan as to which such P&I Advance was made, whether in the form of late payments, insurance and condemnation proceeds, liquidation proceeds or otherwise from the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property (“Related Proceeds”). The master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee will be entitled to recover any Advance by it that it subsequently determines to be a Nonrecoverable Advance out of general collections on or relating to the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account (first from principal collections and then from any other collections). Amounts payable in respect of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement will not be available for distributions on the certificates or for the reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances of principal or interest with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, but will be available, in accordance with the PSA and related Intercreditor Agreement, for the reimbursement of any Servicing Advances with respect to the related Serviced Whole

385 

Loan. If a Servicing Advance by the master servicer or the special servicer (or trustee, as applicable) on a Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Nonrecoverable Advance and the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee, as applicable, is unable to recover such amounts from related proceeds or the related Companion Loan, as applicable, the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee (as applicable) will be permitted to recover such Nonrecoverable Advance (including interest thereon) out of general collections on or relating to the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account.

If the funds in the Collection Account relating to the Mortgage Loans allocable to principal on the Mortgage Loans are insufficient to fully reimburse the party entitled to reimbursement, then such party as an accommodation may elect, on a monthly basis, at its sole option and discretion to defer reimbursement of the portion that exceeds such amount allocable to principal (in which case interest will continue to accrue on the unreimbursed portion of the advance) for a time as required to reimburse the excess portion from principal for a consecutive period up to 12 months (provided that, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, any such deferral exceeding 6 months will require, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) and any election to so defer will be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that no such deferral may occur at any time to the extent that amounts otherwise distributable as principal are available for such reimbursement.

In connection with a potential election by the master servicer or the trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of all or a portion of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance during the one month collection period ending on the related Determination Date for any Distribution Date, the master servicer or the trustee will be authorized to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans to be received until the end of such collection period before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of all or a portion of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, however, that if, at any time the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, elects, in its sole discretion, not to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or otherwise determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a one month collection period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on or relating to the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, will be required to use its reasonable efforts to give the 17g-5 Information Provider 15 days’ notice of such determination for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website, unless extraordinary circumstances make such notice impractical, which means (1) that party determines in its sole discretion that waiting 15 days after such a notice could jeopardize its ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advance, (2) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to that party that could affect or cause a determination or whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance or whether to deter reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (1) above, or (3) in the case of the master servicer, it has not timely received from the trustee information required by the master servicer to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance. If any of the circumstances described in clause (1), clause (2) or clause (3) above apply, the master servicer or trustee, as applicable, must give the 17g-5 Information Provider notice (in accordance with the procedures regarding Rule 17g-5 set forth in the PSA) of the anticipated reimbursement as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give such notice will in no way affect the master servicer’s or the trustee’s election whether to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or right to obtain reimbursement.

The master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee will be entitled to recover any Advance that is outstanding at the time that a Mortgage Loan is modified but is not

386 

repaid in full by the borrower in connection with such modification but becomes an obligation of the borrower to pay such amounts in the future (such Advance, together with interest on that Advance, a “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount”) out of principal collections on the Mortgage Loans in the Collection Account.

Any amount that constitutes all or a portion of any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount may in the future be determined to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance and thereafter will be recoverable as any other Nonrecoverable Advance.

In connection with its recovery of any Advance, the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee will be entitled to be paid, out of any amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Collection Account, interest at the Prime Rate (the “Reimbursement Rate”) accrued on the amount of the Advance from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Neither the master servicer nor the trustee will be entitled to interest on P&I Advances if the related Periodic Payment is received on or before the related Due Date and any applicable grace period has expired or if the related Periodic Payment is received after the Determination Date but on or prior to the P&I Advance Date. The “Prime Rate” will be the prime rate, for any day, set forth in The Wall Street Journal, New York City edition.

See “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” for reimbursements of servicing advances made in respect of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan under the related Non-Serviced PSA.

Accounts

The master servicer is required to establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts and subaccounts (collectively, the “Collection Account”) in its own name on behalf of the trustee and for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The master servicer is required to deposit in the Collection Account on a daily basis (and in no event later than the 2nd business day following receipt in available and properly identified funds) all payments and collections due after the Cut-off Date and other amounts received or advanced with respect to the Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, all proceeds (the “Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds”) received under any hazard, title or other insurance policy that provides coverage with respect to a Mortgaged Property or the related Mortgage Loan or in connection with the full or partial condemnation of a Mortgaged Property (other than proceeds applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the related borrower in accordance with the Servicing Standard (or, if applicable, the special servicer) and/or the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage) and all other amounts received and retained in connection with the liquidation (including any full, partial or discounted payoff) of any Mortgage Loan that is defaulted and any related defaulted Companion Loan or property acquired by foreclosure or otherwise (the “Liquidation Proceeds”)) together with the net operating income (less reasonable reserves for future expenses) derived from the operation of any REO Properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the collections on any Whole Loan will be limited to the portion of such amounts that are payable to the holder of the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement.

The master servicer will also be required to establish and maintain a segregated custodial account (the “Companion Distribution Account”) with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, which may be a sub-account of the Collection Account, and deposit amounts collected in respect of the Serviced Companion Loans in the Companion Distribution Account. The issuing entity will only be entitled to amounts on deposit in the Companion Distribution Account to the extent these funds are not otherwise payable to the

387 

holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or payable or reimbursable to any party to the PSA. Any amounts in the Companion Distribution Account to which the issuing entity is entitled will be transferred on a monthly basis to the Collection Account.

With respect to each Distribution Date, the master servicer will be required to disburse from the Collection Account and remit to the certificate administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, to the extent of funds on deposit in the Collection Account, on the related P&I Advance Date, the Available Funds for such Distribution Date and any Yield Maintenance Charges or Prepayment Premiums received as of the related Determination Date. The certificate administrator is required to establish and maintain various accounts, including a “Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account” and a “Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account”, both of which may be sub-accounts of a single account, (collectively, the “Distribution Accounts”), in its own name on behalf of the trustee and for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

On each Distribution Date, the certificate administrator is required to apply amounts on deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account (which will include all funds that were remitted by the master servicer from the Collection Account, plus, among other things, any P&I Advances less amounts, if any, distributable to the Class V and Class R certificates) as set forth in the PSA generally to make distributions of interest and principal from Available Funds to the holders of the Regular Certificates as described under “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Priority of Distributions”.

The certificate administrator is also required to establish and maintain an account (the “Interest Reserve Account”) which may be a sub-account of the Distribution Account, in its own name on behalf of the trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. On the P&I Advance Date occurring each February and on any P&I Advance Date occurring in any January which occurs in a year that is not a leap year (in each case, unless the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the certificate administrator will be required to deposit amounts remitted by the master servicer or P&I Advances made on the related Mortgage Loans into the Interest Reserve Account during the related interest period, in respect of the Mortgage Loans that accrue interest on an Actual/360 Basis (collectively, the “Actual/360 Loans”), in an amount equal to one day’s interest at the Net Mortgage Rate for each such Actual/360 Loan on its Stated Principal Balance and as of the Due Date in the month preceding the month in which the P&I Advance Date occurs, to the extent a Periodic Payment or P&I Advance or other deposit is made in respect of the Mortgage Loans (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive January (if applicable) and February, “Withheld Amounts”). On the P&I Advance Date occurring each March (or February, if the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the certificate administrator will be required to withdraw from the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the Withheld Amounts from the preceding January (if applicable) and February, if any, and deposit that amount into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

The certificate administrator is also required to establish and maintain an account (the “Excess Interest Distribution Account”), which may be a sub-account of the Distribution Account, in its own name on behalf of the trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Class V certificates. Prior to the applicable Distribution Date, the master servicer is required to remit to the certificate administrator for deposit into the Excess Interest Distribution Account an amount equal to the Excess Interest received by the master servicer on or prior to the related Determination Date.

The certificate administrator may be required to establish and maintain an account (the “Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account” , which may be a sub-account of the Distribution Account, in its own name on behalf of the trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

388 

To the extent that any gains are realized on sales of Mortgaged Properties (or, with respect to any Whole Loan, the portion of such amounts that are payable on the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement), such gains will be deposited into the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account. Amounts in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account will be applied on the applicable Distribution Date as part of Available Funds to all amounts due and payable on the Regular Certificates (including to reimburse for Realized Losses previously allocated to such certificates. Any remaining amounts will be held in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and applied to offset shortfalls and losses incurred on subsequent Distribution Dates as described above. Any remaining amounts not necessary to offset any shortfalls or losses on the final Distribution Date will be distributed on the Class R certificates after all amounts payable to the Regular Certificates have been made.

Other accounts to be established pursuant to the PSA are one or more segregated custodial accounts (each, an “REO Account”) for collections from REO Properties for which the special servicer is responsible. Each REO Account will be maintained by the special servicer in its own name on behalf of the trustee and for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

The Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Companion Distribution Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts are collectively referred to as the “Securitization Accounts” (but with respect to any Whole Loan, only to the extent of the issuing entity’s interest in the Whole Loan). Each of the foregoing accounts will be held at a depository institution or trust company meeting the requirements of the PSA.

Amounts on deposit in the foregoing accounts may be invested in certain United States government securities and other investments meeting the requirements of the PSA (“Permitted Investments”). Interest or other income earned on funds in the accounts maintained by the master servicer, the certificate administrator or the special servicer will be payable to each of them as additional compensation, and each of them will be required to bear any losses resulting from its investment of such funds.

Withdrawals from the Collection Account

The master servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account (or the applicable subaccount of the Collection Account, exclusive of the Companion Distribution Account that may be a subaccount of the Collection Account) for any of the following purposes, in each case only to the extent permitted under the PSA and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, without duplication (the order set forth below not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals):

(i)       to remit on each P&I Advance Date (A) to the certificate administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account certain portions of the Available Funds and any Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges attributable to the Mortgage Loans on the related Distribution Date or (B) to the certificate administrator for deposit into the Excess Interest Distribution Account an amount equal to the Excess Interest received by the master servicer in the applicable one-month period ending on the related Determination Date, if any;

(ii)       to pay or reimburse the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of the PSA for Advances made by any of them and interest on Advances (the master servicer’s, special servicer’s or the trustee’s respective right, as applicable, to reimbursement for items described in this

389 

clause (ii) being limited as described above under “—Advances”) (provided that with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, such reimbursements are subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement);

(iii)       to pay to the master servicer and special servicer, as compensation, the aggregate unpaid servicing compensation;

(iv)       to pay to the operating advisor the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee (but, with respect to the period when the outstanding Certificate Balances of the Control Eligible Certificates have not been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses to such certificates, only to the extent actually received from the related borrower) or the Operating Advisor Fee;

(v)       to pay to the asset representations reviewer the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee and any unpaid Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee (but only to the extent such Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee is to be paid by the issuing entity);

(vi)       to reimburse the trustee, the special servicer and the master servicer, as applicable, for certain Nonrecoverable Advances or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts;

(vii)       to reimburse the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee, as applicable, for any unreimbursed expenses reasonably incurred with respect to each related Mortgage Loan that has been repurchased or substituted by such person pursuant to the PSA or otherwise;

(viii)       to reimburse the master servicer or the special servicer for any unreimbursed expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the enforcement of the related mortgage loan seller’s obligations under the applicable section of the related MLPA;

(ix)       to pay for any unpaid costs and expenses incurred by the issuing entity;

(x)       to pay itself and the special servicer, as applicable, as additional servicing compensation, (A) interest and investment income earned in respect of amounts relating to the issuing entity held in the Collection Account and the Companion Distribution Account (but only to the extent of the net investment earnings during the applicable one month period ending on the related Distribution Date) and (B) certain penalty charges and default interest;

(xi)       to recoup any amounts deposited in the Collection Account in error;

(xii)       to the extent not reimbursed or paid pursuant to any of the above clauses, to reimburse or pay the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer, the depositor or any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, employees and agents, unpaid additional expenses of the issuing entity and certain other unreimbursed expenses incurred by such person pursuant to and to the extent reimbursable under the PSA and to satisfy any indemnification obligations of the issuing entity under the PSA;

(xiii)       to pay for the cost of the opinions of counsel or the cost of obtaining any extension to the time in which the issuing entity is permitted to hold REO Property;

390 

(xiv)       to pay any applicable federal, state or local taxes imposed on any Trust REMIC, or any of their assets or transactions, together with all incidental costs and expenses, to the extent that none of the master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator or the trustee is liable under the PSA;

(xv)       to pay the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee;

(xvi)       to reimburse the certificate administrator out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for legal expenses incurred by and reimbursable to it by the issuing entity of any administrative or judicial proceedings related to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority;

(xvii)       to pay the related mortgage loan seller or any other person, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, if any, previously purchased or replaced by such person pursuant to the PSA, all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase or replacement relating to periods after the date of purchase or replacement;

(xviii)       to remit to the certificate administrator for deposit in the Interest Reserve Account the amounts required to be deposited in the Interest Reserve Account pursuant to the PSA;

(xix)       to remit to the companion paying agent for deposit into the Companion Distribution Account the amounts required to be deposited pursuant to the PSA; and

(xx)       to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to a plan for termination and liquidation of the issuing entity.

No amounts payable or reimbursable to parties to the PSA out of general collections that do not specifically relate to a Serviced Whole Loan may be reimbursable from amounts that would otherwise be payable to the related Companion Loan.

Certain costs and expenses (such as a pro rata share of any related Servicing Advances) allocable to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Whole Loan may be paid or reimbursed out of payments and other collections on the other Mortgage Loans, subject to the issuing entity’s right to reimbursement from future payments and other collections on the related Companion Loan or from general collections with respect to the securitization of the related Companion Loan. If the master servicer makes, with respect to any related Serviced Whole Loan, any reimbursement or payment out of the Collection Account to cover the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan’s share of any cost, expense, indemnity, Servicing Advance or interest on such Servicing Advance, or fee with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan, then the master servicer (with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties) must use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amount out of collections on such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or, if and to the extent permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement, from the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

The master servicer will also be entitled to make withdrawals, from time to time, from the Collection Account of amounts necessary for the payments or reimbursements required to be paid to the parties to the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, pursuant to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement and the applicable Non-Serviced PSA. See “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

391 

If a P&I Advance is made with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that is part of a Whole Loan, then that P&I Advance, together with interest on such P&I Advance, may only be reimbursed out of future payments and collections on that Mortgage Loan or, as and to the extent described under “—Advances” above, on other Mortgage Loans, but not out of payments or other collections on the related Serviced Companion Loan. Likewise, the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee, the Operating Advisor Fee and the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee that accrue with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that is part of a Whole Loan and any other amounts payable to the operating advisor may only be paid out of payments and other collections on such Mortgage Loan and/or the Mortgage Pool generally, but not out of payments or other collections on the related Serviced Companion Loan.

The parties to the PSA other than the depositor will be entitled to payment of certain fees as compensation for services performed under the PSA. Below is a summary of the fees payable to the parties to the PSA from amounts that the issuing entity is entitled to receive. In addition, CREFC^® will be entitled to a license fee for use of its names and trademarks, including the CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package.

With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related master servicer, special servicer, certificate administrator, trustee, operating advisor, if any, and/or asset representations reviewer, if any, under the related Non-Serviced PSA will be entitled to receive similar fees and reimbursements with respect to that Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan in amounts, from sources and at frequencies that are similar, but not necessarily identical, to those described above and, in certain cases (for example, with respect to unreimbursed special servicing fees and servicing advances with respect to each Non-Serviced Whole Loan), such amounts may be reimbursable from general collections on the other Mortgage Loans to the extent not recoverable from the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. In connection with the servicing and administration of any Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to the terms of the PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the master servicer and special servicer will be entitled to servicing compensation, without duplication, with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan as well as the related Mortgage Loan to the extent consistent with the PSA and not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement.

⁽²⁾ Subject to certain offsets as described below. Circumstances as to when a Liquidation Fee is not payable are set forth in this “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses” section.

⁽³⁾ Allocable between the master servicer and the special servicer as provided in the PSA.

Master Servicing Compensation

The fee of the master servicer including the fee of any primary or other sub-servicer (the “Servicing Fee”) will be payable monthly from amounts allocable in respect of interest received in respect of each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan (to the extent not prohibited under the related Intercreditor Agreement) and REO Loan (other than the portion of any REO Loan related to any Non-Serviced Companion Loan) (including Specially Serviced Loans and any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan constituting a “specially serviced loan” under any related Non-Serviced PSA), and will accrue at a rate (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) on the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or REO Loan, equal to a per annum rate ranging from 0.00375% to 0.07500%. The Servicing Fee payable to the master servicer with respect to any related Serviced Companion Loan will be payable, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, from amounts payable in respect of the related Companion Loan.

In addition to the Servicing Fee, the master servicer will be entitled to retain, as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the following amounts to the extent collected from the related borrowers:

● 100% of Excess Modification Fees related to any modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any such Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that are not Specially Serviced Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement, that are Master Servicer Decisions; provided that if any such matter involves a Major Decision, then the master servicer will be entitled to 50% of such Excess Modification Fees;

● 100% of all assumption application fees and other similar items received on any such Mortgage Loans that are non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) to the extent the master servicer is processing the underlying transaction and 100% of all defeasance fees (provided that for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fee will not include any modification fees or waiver fees in connection with a defeasance that the special servicer is entitled to under the PSA);

● 100% of assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees and other similar fees (other than assumption application fees and defeasance fees) pursuant to the PSA on any such Mortgage Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) relating to Master Servicer Decisions; provided that if any such matter involves a Major Decision, then the master servicer will be entitled to 50% of such assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees and other similar fees;

● with respect to accounts held by the master servicer, 100% of charges by the master servicer collected for checks returned for insufficient funds;

● 100% of charges for beneficiary statements or demands actually paid by the related borrowers under such Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) that are not Specially Serviced Loans;

398 

● the excess, if any, of Prepayment Interest Excesses over Prepayment Interest Shortfalls arising from any principal prepayments on such Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan; and

● late payment charges and default interest paid by such borrowers (that were accrued while the related Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any related Serviced Companion Loan (to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) were not Specially Serviced Loans), but only to the extent such late payment charges and default interest are not needed to pay interest on Advances or certain additional trust fund expenses (excluding Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees) incurred with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or, if provided under the related Intercreditor Agreement, any related Serviced Companion Loan, since the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (A) the master servicer will be entitled to that portion, if any, of a penalty charge collected on a Specially Serviced Loan to the extent accrued prior to the related servicing transfer event and (B) if the related Special Servicer has partially waived any penalty charge (part of which accrued when the related Mortgage Loan was not a Specially Serviced Loan and part of which accrued when the related Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan), any collections in respect of such penalty charge will be shared pro rata by the master servicer and the special servicer based on the respective portions of such penalty charge to which each would otherwise have been entitled.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the master servicer and the special servicer will each be entitled to charge and retain reasonable review fees in connection with any borrower request to the extent such fees are not prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan documents and are actually paid by or on behalf of the related borrower. In addition, the master servicer also is authorized but not required to invest or direct the investment of funds held in the Collection Account and Companion Distribution Account in Permitted Investments, and the master servicer will be entitled to retain any interest or other income earned on those funds and will bear any losses resulting from the investment of these funds, except as set forth in the PSA. The master servicer also is entitled to retain any interest earned on any servicing escrow account maintained by the master servicer, to the extent the interest is not required to be paid to the related borrowers.

See “—Modifications, Waivers and Amendments”.

“Excess Modification Fees” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, the sum of (A) the excess, if any, of (i) any and all Modification Fees with respect to a modification, waiver, extension or amendment of any of the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, over (ii) all unpaid or unreimbursed additional expenses (including, without limitation, reimbursement of Advances and interest on Advances to the extent not otherwise paid or reimbursed by the borrower but excluding Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) outstanding or previously incurred on behalf of the issuing entity with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, and reimbursed from such Modification Fees and (B) expenses previously paid or reimbursed from Modification Fees as described in the preceding clause (A), which expenses have been recovered from the related borrower or otherwise.

“Modification Fees” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Companion Loan, any and all fees with respect to

399 

a modification, extension, waiver or amendment that modifies, extends, amends or waives any term of such Mortgage Loan documents and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents (as evidenced by a signed writing) agreed to by the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable (other than all assumption fees, assumption application fees, consent fees, defeasance fees, Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees or Workout Fees).

With respect to the master servicer and the special servicer, the Excess Modification Fees collected and earned by such person from the related borrower (taken in the aggregate with any other Excess Modification Fees collected and earned by such person from the related borrower within the prior 12 months of the collection of the current Excess Modification Fees) will be subject to a cap of 1.0% of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan on the closing date of the related modification, extension, waiver or amendment (after giving effect to such modification, extension, waiver or amendment) with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.

The Servicing Fee is calculated on the Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan (including each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any successor REO Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loan. The Servicing Fee for each Mortgage Loan and any successor REO Loan is included in the Administrative Cost Rate listed for that Mortgage Loan on Annex A-1. Any Servicing Fee Rate calculated on an Actual/360 Basis will be recomputed on the basis of twelve 30-day months, assuming a 360-day year (“30/360 Basis”) for purposes of calculating the Net Mortgage Rate.

Pursuant to the terms of the PSA, Wells Fargo Bank will be entitled to retain a portion of the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan and any successor REO Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, to the extent provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement, each related Serviced Companion Loan, notwithstanding any termination or resignation of such party as master servicer; provided that Wells Fargo Bank may not retain any portion of the Servicing Fee to the extent that portion of the Servicing Fee is required to appoint a successor master servicer. In addition, Wells Fargo Bank will have the right to assign and transfer its rights to receive that retained portion of its Servicing Fee to another party.

The master servicer will be required to pay its overhead and any general and administrative expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities under the PSA. The master servicer will not be entitled to reimbursement for any expenses incurred by it except as expressly provided in the PSA. The master servicer will be responsible for all fees payable to any sub-servicers. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Method, Timing and Amount”.

A Liquidation Fee will be payable to the master servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with respect to which the master servicer acts as Enforcing Servicer and obtains (i) any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds or (ii) Loss of Value Payments (including with respect to the related Companion Loan, if applicable).

With respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (or primary servicer) will be entitled to a primary servicing fee accruing at a rate equal to (i) 0.00250% per annum with respect to the Starwood Hotel Portfolio, the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan and the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgage Loan and (ii) 0.00125% per annum with respect to the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan, the Aventura Mall Mortgage Loan and the Liberty Portfolio Mortgage Loan. In each of the foregoing cases,

400 

such primary servicing fee rate is included as part of the Servicing Fee Rate for purposes of the information presented in this prospectus.

Special Servicing Compensation

The principal compensation to be paid to the special servicer in respect of its special servicing activities will be the Special Servicing Fee, the Workout Fee and the Liquidation Fee.

The “Special Servicing Fee” will accrue with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and each REO Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) on a loan-by-loan basis at a rate equal to the greater of (i) a per annum rate of 0.25% and (ii) the per annum rate that would result in a special servicing fee of $3,500 for the related month (the “Special Servicing Fee Rate”), calculated on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan (including any REO Loan) and Companion Loan, as applicable, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Specially Serviced Loans, and will be payable monthly, first from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, and collections in respect of the related REO Property or Specially Serviced Loan and then from general collections on all the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any REO Properties. Each Non-Serviced Whole Loan will be subject to a similar special servicing fee pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA. For further detail, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

The “Workout Fee” will generally be payable with respect to each Corrected Loan and will be calculated by application of a “Workout Fee Rate” of 1.00% to each collection (other than penalty charges and Excess Interest) of interest and principal (other than any amount for which a Liquidation Fee would be paid) (including scheduled payments, prepayments, balloon payments, and payments at maturity or anticipated repayment date) received on the Corrected Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Loan; provided, however, that after receipt by the special servicer of Workout Fees with respect to such Corrected Loan in an amount equal to $25,000, any Workout Fees in excess of such amount will be reduced by the Excess Modification Fee Amount; provided, further, however, that in the event the Workout Fee collected over the course of such workout calculated at the Workout Fee Rate is less than $25,000, then the special servicer will be entitled to an amount from the final payment on the related Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) that would result in the total Workout Fees payable to the special servicer in respect of that Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) equal to $25,000. The “Excess Modification Fee Amount” with respect to the master servicer or special servicer, any Corrected Loan and any particular modification, waiver, extension or amendment with respect to such Corrected Loan that gives rise to the payment of a Workout Fee, is an amount equal to the aggregate of any Excess Modification Fees paid by or on behalf of the related borrower with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including the related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, unless prohibited under the related Intercreditor Agreement) and received and retained by the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, as compensation within the prior 12 months of such modification, waiver, extension or amendment, but only to the extent those fees have not previously been deducted from a Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee. Each Non-Serviced Whole Loan will be subject to a similar workout fee pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA. For further details, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

401 

The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if the Corrected Loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan but will become payable again if and when the Mortgage Loan (including a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) again becomes a Corrected Loan. The Workout Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan that becomes a Corrected Loan will be reduced by any Excess Modification Fees paid by or on behalf of the related borrower with respect to a related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan and received by the special servicer as compensation within the prior 12 months, but only to the extent those fees have not previously been deducted from a Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee.

If the special servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns, it will retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan that became a Corrected Loan during the period that it acted as special servicer and remained a Corrected Loan at the time of that termination or resignation, except that such Workout Fees will cease to be payable if the Corrected Loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. The successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of those Workout Fees. If the special servicer resigns or is terminated (other than for cause), it will receive any Workout Fees payable on Specially Serviced Loans for which the resigning or terminated special servicer had determined to grant a forbearance or cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by the special servicer and evidenced by a signed writing, but which had not as of the time the special servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Loan solely because the borrower had not made 3 consecutive timely Periodic Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the borrower making such 3 consecutive timely Periodic Payments.

A Liquidation Fee will be payable to the special servicer with respect to each (a) non-Specially Serviced Loan with respect to which it acts as the Enforcing Servicer, (b) Specially Serviced Loan or (c) REO Property (except with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) as to which the special servicer obtains (i) a full, partial or discounted payoff from the related borrower, (ii) any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds or (iii) Loss of Value Payments or Purchase Price (including with respect to the related Companion Loan, if applicable).

A “Liquidation Fee”, with respect to a Mortgage Loan or an REO Property, will be an amount payable from, and calculated by application of a “Liquidation Fee Rate” of 1.00% to the related payment or proceeds (or, if such rate would result in an aggregate liquidation fee less than $25,000, then the Liquidation Fee Rate will be equal to such higher rate as would result in an aggregate liquidation fee equal to $25,000); provided that the Liquidation Fee with respect to any Mortgage Loan will be reduced by the amount of any Excess Modification Fees paid by or on behalf of the related borrower with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including a Serviced Companion Loan) or REO Property and received by the special servicer as compensation within the prior 12 months, but only to the extent those fees have not previously been deducted from a Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described above, no Liquidation Fee will be payable based upon, or out of, Liquidation Proceeds or a Loss of Value Payment received in connection with:

(i)       (A) the repurchase of, or substitution for, any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan by a mortgage loan seller for a breach of representation or warranty or for defective or deficient Mortgage Loan documentation within the time period (or extension of such time period) provided for such repurchase or substitution if such repurchase or substitution occurs prior to the termination of such

402 

extended period, or (B) the payment of a Loss of Value Payment in connection with any such breach or document defect if the applicable mortgage loan seller makes such Loss of Value Payment within the 90-day initial cure period or, if applicable, within the subsequent 90-day extended cure period,

(ii)      the purchase of any Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property that is subject to mezzanine indebtedness by the holder of the related mezzanine loan, in each case, within 90 days of such holder’s purchase option first becoming exercisable during the period prior to such Mortgage Loan becoming a Corrected Loan,

(iii)      the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in connection with any termination of the issuing entity,

(iv)      with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, (A) a repurchase of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan by the related mortgage loan seller for a breach of representation or warranty or for defective or deficient Mortgage Loan documentation under the pooling and servicing agreement for the securitization trust that owns such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan within the time period (or extension of such time period) provided for such repurchase if such repurchase occurs prior to the termination of such extended period provided in such pooling and servicing agreement or (B) a purchase of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan by an applicable party to a pooling and servicing agreement pursuant to a clean-up call or similar liquidation of another securitization entity,

(v)       the purchase of any Specially Serviced Loan by the special servicer or its affiliate (except if such affiliate purchaser is the Directing Certificateholder or its affiliate; provided, however, that if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, and such affiliated Directing Certificateholder or its affiliate purchases any Specially Serviced Loan within 90 days after the special servicer delivers to such Directing Certificateholder for approval the initial asset status report with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan, the special servicer will not be entitled to a liquidation fee in connection with such purchase by the Directing Certificateholder or its affiliates), or

(vi)      if a Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan only because of an event described in clause (1) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Loan” under the heading “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—General” and the related Liquidation Proceeds are received within 90-days following the related maturity date as a result of the related Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan being refinanced or otherwise repaid in full.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a liquidation fee is not payable due to the application of any of clauses (i) through (vi) above, the special servicer may still collect and retain a liquidation fee and similar fees from the related borrower to the extent provided for in, or not prohibited by, the related Mortgage Loan documents. Each Non-Serviced Whole Loan will be subject to a similar liquidation fee pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA. For further detail, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

The special servicer will also be entitled to additional servicing compensation relating to each Mortgage Loan in the form of:

403 

(i)       100% of Excess Modification Fees related to modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Specially Serviced Loans,

(ii)      100% of assumption application fees and other similar items received with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and 100% of assumption application fees and other similar items received with respect to Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and Serviced Companion Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans to the extent the special servicer is processing the underlying transaction,

(iii)      100% of waiver, consent and earnout fees on any Specially Serviced Loan or certain other similar fees paid by the related borrower,

(iv)      100% of assumption fees and other related fees as further described in the PSA, received with respect to Specially Serviced Loans,

(v)       50% of all Excess Modification Fees and assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees and other similar fees received with respect to any Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, but including any related Serviced Companion Loan(s)) that are not Specially Serviced Loans to the extent that the matter involves a Major Decision; and

(vi)      late payment charges and default interest paid by such borrowers (that were accrued while the related Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any related Serviced Companion Loan (to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) were Specially Serviced Loans), but only to the extent such late payment charges and default interest are not needed to pay interest on Advances or certain additional trust fund expenses (excluding Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees) incurred with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or, if provided under the related Intercreditor Agreement, any related Serviced Companion Loan since the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (A) the special servicer will be entitled to that portion, if any, of a penalty charge collected on a Mortgage Loan to the extent accrued subsequent to a special servicing transfer event and prior to the date such Mortgage Loan became a Corrected Loan and (B) if the master servicer has partially waived any penalty charge (part of which accrued when the related Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan and part of which accrued when the related Mortgage Loan was not a Specially Serviced Loan), any collections in respect of such penalty charge will be shared pro rata by the master servicer and the special servicer based on the respective portions of such penalty charge to which each would otherwise have been entitled.

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any fee split (other than a fee split with regard to penalty charges) between the master servicer and the special servicer pursuant to the terms of the PSA, the master servicer and the special servicer will each have the right, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any such fee; provided, however, that (x) neither the master servicer nor the special servicer will have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the percentage interest of any fee due to the other and (y) to the extent either of the master servicer or the special servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge such fee will not have any right to share in any portion of the other party’s fee. For the avoidance of doubt, if the master servicer decides not to charge any fee (other than penalty charges), the special servicer will still be entitled to charge the portion of the related fee the special servicer would have been

404 

entitled to if the master servicer had charged a fee and the master servicer will not be entitled to any percentage interest of such fee charged by the special servicer. Similarly, if the special servicer decides not to charge any fee (other than penalty charges), the master servicer will still be entitled to charge the portion of the related fee the master servicer would have been entitled to if the special servicer had charged a fee and the special servicer will not be entitled to any percentage interest of such fee charged by the master servicer.

The special servicer also is authorized but not required to invest or direct the investment of funds held in the REO Accounts and any loss of value reserve fund in Permitted Investments, and the special servicer will be entitled to retain any interest or other income earned on those funds and will bear any losses resulting from the investment of these funds, except as set forth in the PSA.

Each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is serviced under the related Non-Serviced PSA (including on those occasions under such Non-Serviced PSA when the servicing of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has been transferred from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer to the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer). Accordingly, in its capacity as the special servicer under the PSA, the special servicer will not be entitled to receive any special servicing compensation for any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. Only the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be entitled to special servicing compensation on any such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and only the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be entitled to special servicing compensation on any related Non-Serviced Whole Loan.

Disclosable Special Servicer Fees

The PSA will provide that the special servicer and its affiliates will be prohibited from receiving or retaining any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the management or disposition of any REO Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under the PSA. The PSA will also provide that, with respect to each Distribution Date, the special servicer must deliver or cause to be delivered to the master servicer within two (2) business days following the Determination Date, and the master servicer must deliver, to the extent it has received, to the certificate administrator, without charge and on the P&I Advance Date, an electronic report which discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the special servicer or any of its affiliates with respect to such Distribution Date, provided that no such report will be due in any month during which no Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received.

“Disclosable Special Servicer Fees” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and related Serviced Companion Loan (including any related REO Property), any compensation and other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) received or retained by the special servicer or any of its affiliates that is paid by any person (including, without limitation, the issuing entity, any mortgagor, any manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan and any purchaser of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the management or disposition of any REO Property, and the performance by the special servicer or any such affiliate of any other special servicing duties under the PSA, other than (1) any Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees and (2) any compensation to which the special servicer is entitled pursuant to the PSA.

405 

“Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees” means any commercially reasonable treasury management fees, banking fees, title insurance (or title agency) and/or other fees, insurance commissions or fees and appraisal fees received or retained by the special servicer or any of its affiliates in connection with any services performed by such party with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and Serviced Companion Loan (including any related REO Property) in accordance with the PSA.

The special servicer will be required to pay its overhead and any general and administrative expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities under the PSA. The special servicer will not be entitled to reimbursement for any expenses incurred by it except as expressly provided in the PSA. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Method, Timing and Amount”.

Certificate Administrator and Trustee Compensation

As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the trustee and the certificate administrator will be paid a fee (collectively, the “Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee”); provided that the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee includes the trustee fee, and the certificate administrator will pay the trustee fee to the trustee in an amount equal to $290 per month. The Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee will be payable monthly from amounts received in respect of the Mortgage Loans and will be equal to the product of a rate equal to 0.00840% per annum (the “Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee Rate”) and the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans and will be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans or REO Loans.

Operating Advisor Compensation

The fee of the operating advisor (the “Operating Advisor Fee”) will be payable monthly from amounts received in respect of each Mortgage Loan (excluding each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any Companion Loan) and REO Loan, and will be equal to the product of a per annum rate equal to 0.00205% (the “Operating Advisor Fee Rate”), and the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans and will be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on Mortgage Loans and REO Loans.

An “Operating Advisor Consulting Fee” will be payable to the operating advisor with respect to each Major Decision on which the operating advisor has consultation obligations and performed its duties with respect to that Major Decision. The Operating Advisor Consulting Fee will be a fee for each such Major Decision equal to $10,000 (or such lesser amount as the related borrower agrees to pay) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan); provided that the operating advisor may in its sole discretion reduce the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee with respect to any Major Decision; provided, further, however, that to the extent such fee is incurred after the outstanding Certificate Balances of the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses to such certificates, such fee will be payable in full to the operating advisor as a trust fund expense.

Each of the Operating Advisor Fee and the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee will be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account out of amounts otherwise available to make distributions on the certificates as described above in “—Withdrawals from the Collection Account”, but with respect to the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee, only as and to the extent that such fee is actually received from the related borrower (other than as described above). If the operating advisor has consultation rights with respect to a Major Decision, the PSA will require the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, to use

406 

commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related borrower in connection with such Major Decision that are consistent with the efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, would use to collect any borrower-paid fee not specified in the Mortgage Loan documents owed to it, and only to the extent not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan documents, and in no event will it take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection. The master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, will each be permitted to waive or reduce the amount of any such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related borrower if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, will be required to consult, on a non-binding basis, with the operating advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction.

In addition to the Operating Advisor Fee and the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee, the operating advisor will be entitled to reimbursement of Operating Advisor Expenses in accordance with the terms of the PSA. “Operating Advisor Expenses” for each Distribution Date will equal any unreimbursed indemnification amounts or additional trust fund expenses payable to the operating advisor pursuant to the PSA (other than the Operating Advisor Fee and the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee).

Asset Representations Reviewer Compensation

The asset representations reviewer will be paid a fee of $5,000 (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Upfront Fee”) on the Closing Date. As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the asset representations reviewer will be paid a fee (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee”). The Asset Representations Reviewer Fee will be payable monthly from amounts received in respect of each Mortgage Loan (including each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, but excluding any Companion Loan) and REO Loan, and will be equal to the product of a rate equal to 0.00035% per annum (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate”) and the Stated Principal Balance of each such Mortgage Loan, Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Loan, and will be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans. In connection with each Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan, the asset representations reviewer will be required to be paid a fee equal to (i) $15,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance less than $20,000,000, (ii) $20,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $20,000,000, but less than $40,000,000 or (iii) $25,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $40,000,000 (any such fee, the “Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee”).

The Asset Representations Reviewer Fee will be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account out of amounts otherwise available to make distributions on the certificates as described above in “—Withdrawals from the Collection Account”. The Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to each Delinquent Loan will be required to be paid by the related mortgage loan seller; provided, however, that if the related mortgage loan seller is insolvent or fails to pay such amount within 90 days of written request by the asset representations reviewer, such fee will be paid by the trust following delivery by the asset representations reviewer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the master servicer of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount (which evidence may be an officer’s certificate of the asset representations reviewer); provided, further, that notwithstanding any payment of such fee by the issuing entity to the asset representations reviewer, such fee will remain an obligation of the related mortgage loan seller and the

407 

Enforcing Servicer will be required to pursue remedies against such mortgage loan seller to recover any such amounts to the extent paid by the issuing entity. The Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to a Delinquent Loan is required to be included in the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a completed Asset Review and that is repurchased by the related mortgage loan seller, and such portion of the Purchase Price received will be used to reimburse the trust for any such fees paid to the asset representations reviewer pursuant to the terms of the PSA.

CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee

CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee will be paid to CREFC^® on a monthly basis.

“CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee” with respect to each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan (other than the portion of an REO Loan related to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) and for any Distribution Date is the amount accrued during the related Interest Accrual Period at the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan and REO Loan as of the close of business on the Distribution Date in such Interest Accrual Period; provided that such amounts will be computed for the same period and on the same interest accrual basis respecting which any related interest payment due or deemed due on the related Mortgage Loan and REO Loan is computed and will be prorated for partial periods. The CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee is a fee payable to CREFC^® for a license to use the CREFC^® Investor Reporting Package in connection with the servicing and administration, including delivery of periodic reports to the Certificateholders, of the issuing entity pursuant to the PSA. No CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee will be paid on any Companion Loan.

“CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee Rate” with respect to each Mortgage Loan is a rate equal to 0.00050% per annum.

Appraisal Reduction Amounts

After an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or a Serviced Whole Loan, an Appraisal Reduction Amount is required to be calculated. An “Appraisal Reduction Event” will occur on the earliest of:

(1)       120 days after an uncured delinquency (without regard to the application of any grace period), other than any uncured delinquency in respect of a balloon payment, occurs in respect of the Mortgage Loan or a related Companion Loan, as applicable;

(2)       the date on which a reduction in the amount of Periodic Payments on the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, or a change in any other material economic term of the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable (other than an extension of its maturity), becomes effective as a result of a modification of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, by the special servicer;

(3)       30 days after the date on which a receiver has been appointed for the Mortgaged Property;

408 

(4)       30 days after the date on which a borrower or the tenant at a single tenant property declares bankruptcy (and the bankruptcy petition is not otherwise dismissed within such time);

(5)       60 days after the date on which an involuntary petition of bankruptcy is filed with respect to the borrower if not dismissed within such time;

(6)       90 days after an uncured delinquency occurs in respect of a balloon payment with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, except where a refinancing is anticipated within 120 days after the maturity date of the Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan in which case 120 days after such uncured delinquency; and

(7)       immediately after a Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan becomes an REO Loan;

provided, however, that the 30-day period referenced in clauses (3) and (4) above will not apply if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan.

No Appraisal Reduction Event may occur at any time when the Certificate Balances of all classes of Subordinate Certificates have been reduced to zero.

The “Appraisal Reduction Amount” for any Distribution Date and for any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Serviced Companion Loan or any Serviced Whole Loan as to which any Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, will be an amount, calculated by the special servicer (and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (except in the case of an Excluded Loan) and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (except with respect to an Excluded Loan) and the operating advisor and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, in consultation with the operating advisor), as of the first Determination Date that is at least 10 business days following the date the special servicer receives an appraisal (together with information requested by the special servicer from the master servicer in accordance with the PSA that is in the possession of the master servicer and reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount) or conducts a valuation described below equal to the excess of:

(a)       the Stated Principal Balance of that Mortgage Loan or the Stated Principal Balance of the applicable Serviced Whole Loan, as the case may be, over

(b)       the excess of

1. the sum of

a) 90% of the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property as determined (A) by one or more MAI appraisals obtained by the special servicer with respect to that Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan with an outstanding principal balance equal to or in excess of $2,000,000 (the costs of which will be paid by the master servicer as an Advance), or (B) by an internal valuation performed by the special servicer (or at the special servicer’s election, by one or more MAI appraisals obtained by the special servicer) with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan with an outstanding principal

409 

balance less than $2,000,000, minus with respect to any MAI appraisals such downward adjustments as the special servicer may make (without implying any obligation to do so) based upon its review of the appraisals and any other information it deems relevant; and

b) all escrows, letters of credit and reserves in respect of that Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as of the date of calculation; over

2. the sum as of the Due Date occurring in the month of the date of determination of

a) to the extent not previously advanced by the master servicer or the trustee, all unpaid interest due on that Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan at a per annum rate equal to the Mortgage Rate,

b) all P&I Advances on the related Mortgage Loan and all Servicing Advances on the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan not reimbursed from the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and interest on those Advances at the Reimbursement Rate in respect of that Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, and

c) all currently due and unpaid real estate taxes and assessments, insurance premiums and ground rents, unpaid Special Servicing Fees and all other amounts due and unpaid (including any capitalized interest whether or not then due and payable) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (which taxes, premiums, ground rents and other amounts have not been the subject of an Advance by the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee, as applicable).

Each Serviced Whole Loan will be treated as a single mortgage loan for purposes of calculating an Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the Mortgage Loan and Companion Loan, as applicable, that comprise such Serviced Whole Loan. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount that would impact any Serviced Mortgage Loan will be allocated pro rata, between the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans based upon their respective outstanding principal balances.

The special servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to order an appraisal or conduct a valuation promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan). On the first Determination Date occurring on or after the tenth business day following the receipt of the MAI appraisal or the completion of the valuation, the special servicer will be required to calculate and report to the master servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the operating advisor and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, the Appraisal Reduction Amount, taking into account the results of such appraisal or valuation and receipt of information requested by the special servicer from the master servicer that is in the possession of the master servicer and reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Such report will also be forwarded by the master servicer (or the special servicer if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan), to the extent any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan has been included in a

410 

securitization transaction, to the master servicer of such securitization into which the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

Following the master servicer’s receipt from the special servicer of the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts, the master servicer will be required to provide such information to the certificate administrator in the form of the CREFC^® loan periodic update file and CREFC^® appraisal reduction template provided to it by the special servicer.

In the event that the special servicer has not received any required MAI appraisal within 60 days after the Appraisal Reduction Event (or, in the case of an appraisal in connection with an Appraisal Reduction Event described in clauses (1) and (6) of the definition of Appraisal Reduction Event above, within 120 days (in the case of clause (1)) or 90 or 120 days (in the case of clause (6)), respectively, after the initial delinquency for the related Appraisal Reduction Event), the Appraisal Reduction Amount will be deemed to be an amount equal to 25% of the current Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) until an MAI appraisal is received by the special servicer and the Appraisal Reduction Amount is calculated as of the first Determination Date that is at least 10 business days after the special servicer’s receipt of such MAI appraisal or completion of its internal valuation. The master servicer will provide (via electronic delivery) the special servicer with any information in its possession that is reasonably required to determine, redetermine, calculate or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount pursuant to its definition using reasonable efforts to deliver such information within four business days of the special servicer’s reasonable request; provided, however, that the special servicer’s failure to timely make such a request will not relieve the master servicer of its obligation to use reasonable efforts to provide such information to the special servicer within 4 business days following the special servicer’s reasonable request. The master servicer will not calculate Appraisal Reduction Amounts.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (unless the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has remained current for 3 consecutive Periodic Payments, and with respect to which no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred with respect to that Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan during the preceding 3 months (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan)), the special servicer is required (i) within 30 days of each anniversary of the related Appraisal Reduction Event and (ii) upon its determination that the value of the related Mortgaged Property has materially changed, to notify the master servicer of the occurrence of such anniversary or determination and to order an appraisal (which may be an update of a prior appraisal), the cost of which will be paid by the master servicer as a Servicing Advance (or to the extent it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, an expense of the issuing entity paid out of the Collection Account), or to conduct an internal valuation, as applicable. Based upon the appraisal or valuation and receipt of information requested by the special servicer from the master servicer that is in the possession of the Master Servicer and reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount, the special servicer is required to determine or redetermine, as applicable, and report to the master servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the operating advisor and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder, the amount and calculation or recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable. Such report will also be forwarded, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in a securitization

411 

transaction, to the master servicer of such securitization transaction, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan, by the master servicer (or the special servicer if such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan). Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, the special servicer will consult with the Directing Certificateholder, with respect to any appraisal, valuation or downward adjustment in connection with an Appraisal Reduction Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the special servicer will not be required to obtain an appraisal or valuation with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan that is the subject of an Appraisal Reduction Event to the extent the special servicer has obtained an appraisal or valuation with respect to the related Mortgaged Property within the 12-month period prior to the occurrence of the Appraisal Reduction Event. Instead, the special servicer may use the prior appraisal or valuation in calculating any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, provided that the special servicer is not aware of any material change to the Mortgaged Property that has occurred that would affect the validity of the appraisal or valuation.

Each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is subject to provisions in the related Non-Serviced PSA relating to appraisal reductions that are similar, but not necessarily identical, to the provisions described above. The existence of an appraisal reduction under a Non-Serviced PSA in respect of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will proportionately reduce the master servicer’s or the trustee’s, as the case may be, obligation to make P&I Advances on the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and will generally have the effect of reducing the amount otherwise available for distributions to the Certificateholders. Pursuant to such Non-Serviced PSA, the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be treated, together with each related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, as a single mortgage loan for purposes of calculating an appraisal reduction amount with respect to the loans that comprise a Non-Serviced Whole Loan. Any appraisal reduction amount calculated with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan will generally be allocated first, to any related Subordinate Companion Loan(s) and then, to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) on a pro rata basis based upon their respective Stated Principal Balances. Any appraisal reduction amount determined under such Non-Serviced PSA and allocable to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related intercreditor agreement will constitute an “Appraisal Reduction Amount” under the terms of the PSA with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

If any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any Serviced Whole Loan previously subject to an Appraisal Reduction Amount becomes a Corrected Loan, and no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the Appraisal Reduction Amount and the related Appraisal Reduction Event will cease to exist.

As a result of calculating one or more Appraisal Reduction Amounts (and, in the case of any Whole Loan, to the extent allocated in the related Mortgage Loan), the amount of any required P&I Advance will be reduced, which will have the effect of reducing the allocable amount of interest available to the most subordinate class of certificates then-outstanding (i.e., first, to the Class H-RR certificates, second, to the Class G-RR certificates, third, to the Class F-RR certificates, fourth, to the Class E-RR certificates, fifth, to the Class D certificates, sixth, to the Class C certificates, seventh, to the Class B certificates, eighth, to the Class A-S certificates, and finally, pro rata based on their respective interest entitlements, to the Senior Certificates). See “—Advances”.

As of the first Determination Date following a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) becoming an AB Modified Loan, the special servicer will be required to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB

412 

Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the special servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and all other information in its possession relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by the master servicer that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, the master servicer will be required to (i) promptly request from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee the most recent appraisal with respect to such AB Modified Loan, in addition to all other information reasonably required by the master servicer to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, and (ii) as of the first Determination Date following receipt by the master servicer of the appraisal and any other information set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i) that the master servicer reasonably expects to receive, calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information in its possession relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining actual knowledge or receipt of notice by any other party to the PSA that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, such party will be required to promptly notify the master servicer thereof. None of the master servicer (with respect to Mortgage Loans other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the special servicer (with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the trustee, the operating advisor or the certificate administrator will calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

A “Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount” as of any date of determination and for any Mortgage Loan, is equal to the sum of (i) all Appraisal Reduction Amounts then in effect, and (ii) with respect to any AB Modified Loan, any Collateral Deficiency Amount then in effect. The master servicer and the certificate administrator will be entitled to conclusively rely on the special servicer’s calculation or determination of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan). With respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the special servicer and the certificate administrator will be entitled to conclusively rely on the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer’s calculation of any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan and on the master servicer’s calculation or determination of any Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

“AB Modified Loan” means any Corrected Loan (1) that became a Corrected Loan (which includes for purposes of this definition any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that became a “corrected loan” (or any term substantially similar thereto) pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA) due to a modification thereto that resulted in the creation of an A/B note structure (or similar structure) and as to which the new junior note(s) did not previously exist or the principal amount of the new junior note(s) was previously part of either an A note held by the issuing entity or the original unmodified Mortgage Loan and (2) as to which an Appraisal Reduction Amount is not in effect.

“Collateral Deficiency Amount” means, with respect to any AB Modified Loan as of any date of determination, the excess of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of such AB Modified Loan (taking into account the related junior note(s) and any pari passu notes included therein), over (ii) the sum of (in the case of a Whole Loan, solely to the extent allocable to the subject Mortgage Loan) (x) the most recent appraised value for the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, plus (y) solely to the extent not reflected or taken into account in such appraised value and to the extent on deposit with, or otherwise under the control of, the lender as of the date of such determination, any capital or additional collateral contributed by the related borrower at the time the Mortgage Loan became (and as part of the modification related to) such AB Modified Loan for the benefit of the related

413 

Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties (provided that in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the amounts set forth in this clause (y) will be taken into account solely to the extent relevant information is received by the master servicer), plus (z) any other escrows or reserves (in addition to any amounts set forth in the immediately preceding clause (y)) held by the lender in respect of such AB Modified Loan as of the date of such determination. The special servicer or the master servicer, as the case may be, the operating advisor and the certificate administrator will be entitled to conclusively rely on the master servicer’s or the special servicer’s, as the case may be, calculation or determination of any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

For purposes of determining the Controlling Class and the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to a related Mortgage Loan will be allocated to each class of Principal Balance Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce their Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balances of each such class is notionally reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class H-RR certificates, second, to the Class G-RR certificates, third, to the Class F-RR certificates, fourth, to the Class E-RR certificates, fifth, to the Class D certificates, sixth, to the Class C certificates, seventh, to the Class B certificates, eighth, to the Class A-S certificates, and finally, pro rata based on their respective interest entitlements, to the Senior Certificates (other than the Class X-A, Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates)).

With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount calculated for purposes of determining the Controlling Class and the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property will be determined on an “as-is” basis. The special servicer (in the case of a Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the master servicer (in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) will be required to promptly notify the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, and the certificate administrator of (i) any Appraisal Reduction Amount, (ii) any Collateral Deficiency Amount, and (iii) any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the certificate administrator will be required to promptly post notice of such Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency Amount and/or Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, to the certificate administrator’s website.

Any class of Control Eligible Certificates, the Certificate Balance of which (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts or Collateral Deficiency Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such class) has been reduced to less than 25% of its initial Certificate Balance, is referred to as an “Appraised-Out Class”. Any Appraised-Out Class will no longer be the Controlling Class; provided, however, that if at any time, the Certificate Balances of the certificates other than the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans, then the Controlling Class will be the most subordinate class of Control Eligible Certificates that has a Certificate Balance greater than zero without regard to any Appraisal Reduction Amounts. The holders of the majority (by Certificate Balance) of an Appraised-Out Class will have the right, at their sole expense, to require the special servicer to order (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, require the master servicer to request from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer) a second appraisal of any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount (such holders, the “Requesting Holders”). With respect to any such Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the special servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such appraisal to be (i) delivered within 30 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written

414 

request and (ii) prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser. With respect to any such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the master servicer will be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such second appraisal from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer and to forward such second appraisal to the special servicer. Upon receipt of such supplemental appraisal, the master servicer (for Collateral Deficiency Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer (for Appraisal Reduction Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans to extent provided for in the applicable Non-Serviced PSA and applicable Intercreditor Agreement) and the special servicer (for Mortgage Loans other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) will be required to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such supplemental appraisal, any recalculation of the applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, is warranted and, if so warranted, will recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based upon such supplemental appraisal and (in the case of a Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) receipt of information requested by the special servicer from the master servicer as described above. If required by any such recalculation, the applicable Appraised-Out Class will be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each other Appraised-Out Class will, if applicable, have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, if applicable.

Any Appraised-Out Class for which the Requesting Holders are challenging the master servicer’s or special servicer’s, as applicable, Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount determination may not exercise any direction, control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as such class is reinstated as the Controlling Class; the rights of the Controlling Class will be exercised by the next most senior class of Control Eligible Certificates, if any, during such period.

With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder will be subject to provisions similar to those described above. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

Maintenance of Insurance

To the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan and required by the Servicing Standard, the master servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan, but excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) will be required to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause each borrower to maintain, and the special servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and subject to the conditions set forth in the following sentence) will maintain, for the related Mortgaged Property all insurance coverage required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents; provided, however, that the master servicer (with respect to Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan) will not be required to cause the borrower to maintain and the special servicer (with respect to REO Properties) will not be required to maintain terrorism insurance to the extent that the failure of the related borrower to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default (as defined below) or if the trustee does not have an insurable interest. Insurance coverage is required to be in the amounts (which, in the case of casualty insurance, is generally equal to the lesser of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the replacement cost of the related Mortgaged Property), and from an insurer meeting the requirements, set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents. If the borrower does not maintain such coverage, the master servicer (with respect to such Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion

415 

Loan) or the special servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan), as the case may be, will be required to maintain such coverage to the extent such coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates and the trustee has an insurable interest, as determined by the master servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the special servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan), as applicable, in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that if any Mortgage Loan documents permit the holder thereof to dictate to the borrower the insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, the master servicer or, with respect to REO Property, the special servicer will impose or maintain such insurance requirements as are consistent with the Servicing Standard taking into account the insurance in place at the origination of the Mortgage Loan; provided, further, that with respect to the immediately preceding proviso the master servicer will be obligated to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the borrower to maintain (or to itself maintain) insurance against property damage resulting from terrorist or similar acts unless the borrower’s failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default as determined by the master servicer (with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the special servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) with (unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan) the consent of the Directing Certificateholder or (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) after consultation with the Directing Certificateholder. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans” and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Terrorism Insurance May Not Be Available for All Mortgaged Properties”.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision above, the master servicer will not be required to maintain, and will not be in default for failing to obtain, any earthquake or environmental insurance on any Mortgaged Property unless (other than with respect to a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) such insurance was required at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, the trustee has an insurable interest and such insurance is currently available at commercially reasonable rates. In addition, the master servicer and special servicer will be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the applicable servicer’s expense) in determining whether any insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. After the master servicer determines that a Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) is located in an area identified as a federally designated special flood hazard area (and flood insurance has been made available), the master servicer will be required to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard (1) to cause the borrower to maintain (to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan documents), and (2) if the borrower does not so maintain, to itself maintain to the extent the trustee, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest in the Mortgaged Property and such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the master servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard but only to the extent that the related Mortgage Loan permits the lender to require the coverage) a flood insurance policy in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (x) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) and (y) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that

416 

either (x) require the borrower to maintain “all-risk” property insurance (and do not expressly permit an exclusion for terrorism) or (y) contain provisions generally requiring the applicable borrower to maintain insurance in types and against such risks as the holder of such Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan reasonably requires from time to time in order to protect its interests, the master servicer will be required to, consistent with the Servicing Standard, (A) monitor in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether the insurance policies for the related Mortgaged Property contain exclusions in addition to those customarily found in insurance policies for mortgaged properties similar to the Mortgaged Properties on or prior to September 11, 2001 (“Additional Exclusions”) (provided that the master servicer and the special servicer will be entitled to conclusively rely upon certificates of insurance in determining whether such policies contain Additional Exclusions), (B) request the borrower to either purchase insurance against the risks specified in the Additional Exclusions or provide an explanation as to its reasons for failing to purchase such insurance, and (C) if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, notify the special servicer if it has knowledge that any insurance policy contains Additional Exclusions or if it has knowledge that any borrower fails to purchase the insurance requested to be purchased by the master servicer pursuant to clause (B) above. If the master servicer (with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the special servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure is not an Acceptable Insurance Default, the special servicer (with regard to such determination made by the special servicer) will be required to notify the master servicer and the master servicer will be required to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause such insurance to be maintained. If the master servicer (with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the special servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) determines that such failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default, it will be required to promptly deliver such conclusions in writing to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website for those Mortgage Loans that (i) have one of the 10 highest outstanding principal balances of the Mortgage Loans then included in the issuing entity or (ii) comprise more than 5% of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans then included in the issuing entity.

“Acceptable Insurance Default” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, a default under the related Mortgage Loan documents arising by reason of (i) any failure on the part of the related borrower to maintain with respect to the related Mortgaged Property specific insurance coverage with respect to, or an all-risk casualty insurance policy that does not specifically exclude, terrorist or similar acts, and/or (ii) any failure on the part of the related borrower to maintain with respect to the related Mortgaged Property insurance coverage with respect to damages or casualties caused by terrorist or similar acts upon terms not materially less favorable than those in place as of the Closing Date, in each case, as to which default the master servicer and the special servicer may forbear taking any enforcement action; provided that, subject to the consent or consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of any Companion Loan, the master servicer (with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the special servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan) has determined in its reasonable judgment based on inquiry consistent with the Servicing Standard that either (a) such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates and that such hazards are not at the time commonly insured against for properties similar to the related Mortgaged Property and located in or around the region in which such related Mortgaged Property is located, or (b) such insurance is not available at any rate.

During the period that the master servicer or the special servicer is evaluating the availability of such insurance, or waiting for a response from the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of any Companion Loan, neither the master servicer nor the special servicer

417 

will be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the borrower to maintain (or its failure to maintain) such insurance and neither will be in default of its obligations as a result of such failure.

The special servicer will be required to maintain (or cause to be maintained) fire and hazard insurance on each REO Property (other than any REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) for which it is acting as special servicer, to the extent obtainable at commercially reasonable rates and the trustee has an insurable interest, in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (1) the full replacement cost of the improvements on the REO Property, and (2) the outstanding principal balance owing on the related Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or REO Loan, as applicable, and in any event, the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions. In addition, if the REO Property is located in an area identified as a federally designated special flood hazard area, the special servicer will be required to cause to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the special servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount representing coverage not less than the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood insurance with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard.

The PSA provides that the master servicer may satisfy its obligation to cause each applicable borrower to maintain a hazard insurance policy and the master servicer or special servicer may satisfy its obligation to maintain hazard insurance by maintaining a blanket or master single interest or force-placed policy insuring against hazard losses on the applicable Mortgage Loans and related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and REO Properties (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan), as applicable. Any losses incurred with respect to Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) or REO Properties due to uninsured risks (including earthquakes, mudflows and floods) or insufficient hazard insurance proceeds may adversely affect payments to Certificateholders. Any cost incurred by the master servicer or special servicer in maintaining a hazard insurance policy, if the borrower defaults on its obligation to do so, will be advanced by the master servicer as a Servicing Advance and will be charged to the related borrower. Generally, no borrower is required by the Mortgage Loan documents to maintain earthquake insurance on any Mortgaged Property and the special servicer will not be required to maintain earthquake insurance on any REO Properties. Any cost of maintaining that kind of required insurance or other earthquake insurance obtained by the special servicer will be paid out of the applicable REO Account or advanced by the master servicer as a Servicing Advance.

The costs of the insurance may be recovered by the master servicer or the trustee, as the case may be, from reimbursements received from the borrower or, if the borrower does not pay those amounts, as a Servicing Advance as set forth in the PSA. All costs and expenses incurred by the special servicer in maintaining the insurance described above on REO Properties will be paid out of the related REO Account or, if the amount in such account is insufficient, such costs and expenses will be advanced by the master servicer to the special servicer as a Servicing Advance to the extent that such Servicing Advance is not determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and otherwise will be paid to the special servicer from general collections in the Collection Account.

No pool insurance policy, special hazard insurance policy, bankruptcy bond, repurchase bond or certificate guarantee insurance will be maintained with respect to the Mortgage Loans, nor will any Mortgage Loan be subject to FHA insurance.

418 

Modifications, Waivers and Amendments

The master servicer will be responsible for processing waivers, modifications, amendments and consents that are not Major Decisions with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any related Serviced Companion Loan that, in either case, is not a Specially Serviced Loan, without the consent or approval of the Directing Certificateholder (except as specified in the definition of “Master Servicer Decision”) or the consent or approval of the special servicer. The special servicer will be responsible for processing waivers, modifications, amendments and consents with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and will also be responsible for processing waivers, modifications, amendments and consents that are Major Decisions with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan. However, except as otherwise set forth in this paragraph, neither the special servicer nor the master servicer may waive, modify or amend (or consent to waive, modify or amend) any provision of a Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable except for (1) the waiver of any due-on-sale clause or due-on-encumbrance clause to the extent permitted in the PSA, and (2) any waiver, modification or amendment more than 3 months after the Closing Date that would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, or the Trust or any Trust REMIC to be subject to tax. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, the special servicer will only be permitted under the PSA to agree to any modifications, waivers and amendments that constitute Major Decisions with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (which consent will be deemed given (unless earlier objected to by the Directing Certificateholder) within 10 business days of the Directing Certificateholder’s receipt from the special servicer of the special servicer’s recommendation and analysis with respect to such Major Decision); provided that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event, the special servicer will not be permitted to agree to any such matter without the special servicer’s consultation with the Directing Certificateholder as provided in the PSA and described in this prospectus.

Upon receiving a request for any matter described in the first paragraph of this section that constitutes a Major Decision with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that is not a Specially Serviced Loan, the master servicer will be required to promptly forward such request to the special servicer and the special servicer will be required to process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the borrower) and except as provided in the next sentence, the master servicer will have no further obligation with respect to such request or the Major Decision. The master servicer will deliver any additional information in the master servicer’s possession to the special servicer requested by the special servicer relating to such Major Decision. The master servicer will not be permitted to process any Major Decision and will not be required to interface with the borrower or provide a written recommendation and/or analysis with respect to any Major Decision.

With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan, the following actions will be performed by the master servicer (each such action, a “Master Servicer Decision”) and, in connection with each such action, the master servicer will not be required (other than as provided below in this paragraph) to seek or obtain the consent or approval of (or consult with) the Directing Certificateholder or the special servicer: (i) grant waivers of non-material covenant defaults (other than financial covenants), including late (but not waived) financial statements except that (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, and

419 

prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) will be required to grant waivers of more than three consecutive late deliveries of financial statements; (ii) consents to releases of non-material, non-income producing parcels of a Mortgaged Property that do not materially affect the use or value of the related Mortgaged Property or the ability of the related borrower to pay amounts due in respect of the Mortgage Loan as and when due, provided such releases are required by the related Mortgage Loan documents; (iii) approve or consent to grants of easements or rights of way (including, without limitation for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another purpose) or subordination of the lien of the Mortgage Loan to easements, except that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than in the case of any Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) will be required to approve or consent to grants of easements or rights of way that materially affect the use or value of a Mortgaged Property or a borrower’s ability to make payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or any related Companion Loan; (iv) grant other routine approvals, including granting of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements and consents involving leasing activities (other than for ground leases) (provided that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than in the case of any Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) will be required for leasing activities that affect an area greater than or equal to 30% of the net rentable area of the improvements at the Mortgaged Property), including approval of new leases and amendments to current leases; (v) consent to actions and releases related to condemnation of parcels of a Mortgaged Property (provided that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than in the case of any Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) will be required in connection with any condemnation with respect to a material parcel or a material income producing parcel or any condemnation that materially affects the use or value of the related Mortgaged Property or the ability of the related borrower to pay amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan when due); (vi) consent to a change in property management relating to any Mortgage Loan or any related Companion Loan if the replacement property manager is not a Borrower Party (provided that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than in the case of any Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) will be required for any Mortgage Loan (including any related Companion Loans) that has an outstanding principal balance equal to or greater than $10,000,000); (vii) approve annual operating budgets for Mortgage Loans; (viii) consent to any releases or reductions of or withdrawals from (as applicable) any letters of credit, escrow funds, reserve funds or other additional collateral with respect to any Mortgage Loan, except that (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) will be required for earnout, holdback or performance reserve releases specifically scheduled in the PSA for which there is lender discretion; (ix) grant any extension or enter into any forbearance with respect to the anticipated refinancing of a Mortgage Loan or sale of a Mortgaged Property after the related maturity date of such Mortgage Loan so long as (1) such extension or forbearance does not extend beyond 120 days after the related maturity date and (2) the related borrower has delivered documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the master servicer which provides that a refinancing of such Mortgage Loan or sale of the related Mortgaged Property will occur within 120 days after the date on which such balloon payment will become due; (x) any modification, amendment, consent to a modification or waiver of any term of any Intercreditor Agreement or any intercreditor, co-lender or similar agreement with any mezzanine lender or subordinate debt holder, except that (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan and other than with respect to amendments to split or resize notes consistent with the terms of such Intercreditor

420 

Agreement or such intercreditor, co-lender or similar agreement) the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) will be required for any such modification, amendment, consent to a modification or waiver of any term of any Intercreditor Agreement or any intercreditor, co-lender or similar agreement with any mezzanine lender or subordinate debt holder other than during a Control Termination Event, and if any modification or amendment would adversely impact the special servicer, such modification or amendment will additionally require the consent of the special servicer as a condition to its effectiveness; (xi) any determination of Acceptable Insurance Default, except that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than in the case of any Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder’s consent (or deemed consent) will be required in accordance with the terms of the PSA for any such determination; (xii) approve or consent to any defeasance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan other than agreeing to (A) a modification of the type of defeasance collateral required under the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan documents other than direct, non-callable obligations of the United States would be permitted or (B) a modification that would permit a principal prepayment instead of defeasance if the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan documents do not otherwise permit such principal prepayment; (xiii) any assumption of the Mortgage Loan or transfer of the Mortgaged Property, in each case, that the loan documents allow without the consent of the mortgagee but subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the loan documents where no lender discretion is necessary in order to determine if such conditions are satisfied and (xiv) grant or agree to any other waiver, modification, amendment and/or consent that does not constitute a Major Decision; provided that (A) any such action would not in any way affect a payment term of the Certificates, (B) any such action would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan pursuant to Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes (as evidenced by an opinion of counsel (at the issuing entity’s expense to the extent not reimbursed or paid by the related borrower), to the extent requesting such opinion is consistent with the Servicing Standard), (C) agreeing to such action would be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (D) agreeing to such action would not violate the terms, provisions or limitations of the PSA or any Intercreditor Agreement; provided, further, that in the case of any Master Servicer Decision that requires the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder will be entitled to consult with the master servicer on a non-binding basis (provided that if the Directing Certificateholder fails to respond to a request for consultation within 10 business days after receipt of such request for consultation from the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer will have no further obligation to consult with the Directing Certificateholder with respect to such Master Servicer Decision provided, however, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder to respond will not relieve the master servicer from its obligation to consult with the Directing Certificateholder on any future matters). In the case of any Master Servicer Decision that requires the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, such consent will be deemed given if a response to the request for consent is not provided within 10 business days after receipt of the master servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder, and reasonably available to the master servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent.

If, and only if, the special servicer determines that a modification, waiver or amendment (including the forgiveness or deferral of interest or principal or the substitution or release of collateral or the pledge of additional collateral) of the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan with respect to which a payment default or other material default has occurred or a payment default or other material default is, in the special servicer’s

421 

judgment, reasonably foreseeable, is reasonably likely to produce a greater (or equivalent) recovery on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) to the issuing entity and, if applicable, the holders of any applicable Companion Loan, than liquidation of such Specially Serviced Loan, then the special servicer may, but is not required to, agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of the Specially Serviced Loan, subject to (x) the restrictions and limitations described below, (y) with respect to any Major Decision,  other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the approval of the Directing Certificateholder (or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, as provided in the PSA and described in this prospectus, and (z) with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the holder of the related Companion Loan, as applicable, to advise or consult with the special servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related intercreditor agreement and, with respect to a Mortgage Loan that has mezzanine debt, the rights of the mezzanine lender to consent to such modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related intercreditor agreement.

In connection with (i) the release of a Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan) or any portion of such a Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan) or any portion of such a Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the related Mortgage Loan documents require the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, to calculate (or to approve the calculation of the related borrower of) the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the related Mortgage Loan, then such calculation will, unless then permitted by the REMIC provisions, exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any, as determined by an appropriate third party.

The special servicer is required to use its reasonable efforts to the extent reasonably possible to fully amortize a modified Mortgage Loan prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. The special servicer may not agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Specially Serviced Loan if that modification, waiver or amendment would:

(1)       extend the maturity date of the Specially Serviced Loan to a date occurring later than the earlier of (A) 5 years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (B) if the Specially Serviced Loan is secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not the related fee interest, the date occurring 20 years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan), 10 years, prior to the end of the current term of the ground lease, plus any options to extend exercisable unilaterally by the borrower; or

(2)       provide for the deferral of interest unless interest accrues on the Mortgage Loan or any Serviced Whole Loan, generally, at the related Mortgage Rate.

If the special servicer agrees to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the special servicer will

422 

be required to notify the master servicer, the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan (or, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, to the related Other Master Servicer), the related mortgage loan seller (so long as such mortgage loan seller is not the master servicer or sub-servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder), the operating advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event), the certificate administrator, the trustee, the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan, and unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), and the 17g-5 Information Provider, who will thereafter post any such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website. If the master servicer agrees to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, the master servicer will be required to notify the certificate administrator, the trustee, the special servicer (and, unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the special servicer will be required to forward any such notice to the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan as to such party)), the related mortgage loan seller (so long as such mortgage loan seller is not the master servicer or sub-servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder), and the 17g-5 Information Provider, who will be required to thereafter post any such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website. The party providing notice will be required to deliver to the custodian for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement related to the modification, waiver or amendment, promptly following the execution of that agreement, and if required, a copy to the master servicer and to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan (or, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, to the master servicer of such securitization transaction), all as set forth in the PSA. Copies of each agreement whereby the modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan is effected are required to be available for review during normal business hours at the offices of the custodian. See “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”.

The modification, waiver or amendment of a Serviced Whole Loan or a Mortgage Loan that has a related mezzanine loan will be subject to certain limitations set forth in the related intercreditor agreement. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Other Financings or Ability to Incur Other Indebtedness Entails Risk”.

Enforcement of “Due-on-Sale” and “Due-on-Encumbrance” Provisions

Other than with respect to an action that constitutes a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii) of the definition thereof, the special servicer will determine, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard, whether (a) to exercise any right it may have with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan containing a “due-on-sale” clause (1) to accelerate the payments on that Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan, as applicable, or (2) to withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) to waive its right to exercise such rights; provided, however, that (i) the special servicer, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, has obtained the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder (provided that such consent will be deemed given if a response to the request for consent is not provided within 10 business days after receipt of the special servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder, and reasonably available to the special servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent) or, (y) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation

423 

Termination Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, the special servicer has consulted with the Directing Certificateholder and (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (either alone or, if applicable, with other related Mortgage Loans) that exceeds specified size thresholds (either actual or relative), or that fails to satisfy certain other applicable conditions imposed by the Rating Agencies, in each case as set forth in the PSA, a Rating Agency Confirmation is received by the special servicer from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of securities backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (if any).

With respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan with a “due-on-encumbrance” clause (other than with respect to an action that constitutes a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii) of the definition thereof), the special servicer will determine, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard, whether (a) to exercise any right it may have with respect to a Mortgage Loan containing a “due-on-encumbrance” clause (1) to accelerate the payments thereon, or (2) to withhold its consent to the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) to waive its right to exercise such rights, provided, however, that (i) the special servicer, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan and other than with respect to any waiver of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause, which such waiver constitutes a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii) of the definition thereof, has obtained the consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder (provided that such consent will be deemed given if a response to the request for consent is not provided within 10 business days after receipt of the special servicer’s written recommendation and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder, and reasonably available to the special servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent) or, (y) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, the special servicer has consulted with the Directing Certificateholder, and (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (either alone or, if applicable, with other related Mortgage Loans) that exceeds specified size thresholds (either actual or relative), or that fails to satisfy certain other applicable conditions imposed by the Rating Agencies, in each case as set forth in the PSA, the special servicer has received a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of securities backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (if any).

Upon receiving a request for any matter described in the first two paragraphs of this section that constitutes a consent or waiver with respect to a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan and other than any transfers or assumptions provided for in clause (xiii) of the definition of “Master Servicer Decision” and other than any waiver of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause which waiver constitutes a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii) of the definition thereof, the master servicer will be required to promptly forward such request to the special servicer and the special servicer will be required to process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the borrower) and except as provided in the next sentence, the master servicer will have no further obligation with respect to such request or due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance. The master servicer will continue to cooperate with the special servicer by delivering any additional information in the master servicer’s possession to the special servicer requested by the special servicer relating to such consent or waiver with respect to a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance”

424 

clause. The master servicer will not be permitted to process any request relating to such consent or waiver with respect to a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause (other than any transfers or assumptions provided for in clause (xiii) of the definition of “Master Servicer Decision” and other than any waiver of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause which waiver constitutes a Master Servicer Decision pursuant to clause (xiii) of the definition thereof) and will not be required to interface with the borrower or provide a written recommendation and analysis with respect to any such request.

Any modification, extension, waiver or amendment of the payment terms of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan will be required to be structured so as to be consistent with the servicing standard under the related Non-Serviced PSA and the allocation and payment priorities in the related mortgage loan documents and the related Intercreditor Agreement, such that neither the issuing entity as holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan nor any holder of any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan gains a priority over the other holder that is not reflected in the related mortgage loan documents and the related Intercreditor Agreement.

Inspections

The master servicer will be required to perform (at its own expense) or cause to be performed (at its own expense) physical inspections of each Mortgaged Property relating to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, which is subject to inspection pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA, a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan) with a Stated Principal Balance of (A) $2,000,000 or more at least once every 12 months and (B) less than $2,000,000 at least once every 24 months, in each case commencing in the calendar year 2020 (and each Mortgaged Property is required to be inspected on or prior to December 31, 2021) unless a physical inspection has been performed by the special servicer within the previous 12 months; provided, further, however, that if any scheduled payment becomes more than 60 days delinquent on the related Mortgage Loan, the special servicer is required to inspect or cause to be inspected the related Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable after the Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan and annually thereafter for so long as the Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Loan (the cost of which inspection, to the extent not paid by the related borrower, will be reimbursed first from default interest and late charges constituting additional compensation of the special servicer on the related Mortgage Loan (but with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, only amounts available for such purpose under the related Intercreditor Agreement) and then from the Collection Account as an expense of the issuing entity, and in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, as an expense of the holders of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, pro rata and pari passu, to the extent provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement. The special servicer or master servicer, as applicable, will be required to prepare or cause to be prepared a written report of the inspection describing, among other things, the condition of and any damage to the Mortgaged Property to the extent evident from the inspection and specifying the existence of any vacancies at the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge and the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, deems material, of any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, of any adverse change in the condition of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, and that the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, deems material, or of any material waste committed on the Mortgaged Property to the extent evident from the inspection.

425 

Copies of the inspection reports referred to above that are delivered to the certificate administrator will be posted to the certificate administrator’s website for review by Privileged Persons pursuant to the PSA. See “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”.

Collection of Operating Information

With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the special servicer or the master servicer, as applicable, will be required to use reasonable efforts to collect and review quarterly and annual operating statements, financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property commencing with the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2019 and the calendar year ending on December 31, 2019. Most of the Mortgage Loan documents obligate the related borrower to deliver annual property operating statements. However, we cannot assure you that any operating statements required to be delivered will in fact be delivered, nor is the special servicer or the master servicer likely to have any practical means of compelling the delivery in the case of an otherwise performing Mortgage Loan. In addition, the special servicer will be required to cause quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets and rent rolls to be regularly prepared in respect of each REO Property and to collect all such items promptly following their preparation.

Special Servicing Transfer Event

The Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any related Companion Loan and any related REO Properties will be serviced by the special servicer under the PSA in the event that the servicing responsibilities of the master servicer are transferred to the special servicer as described below. Such Mortgage Loans and related Companion Loan (including those loans that have become REO Properties) serviced by the special servicer are referred to in this prospectus collectively as the “Specially Serviced Loans”. The master servicer will be required to transfer its servicing responsibilities to the special servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any related Companion Loan) if:

(1)       the related borrower fails to make when due any balloon payment, and the borrower has not delivered to the master servicer, on or before the date on which the subject payment was due, documentation (and the master servicer will be required to promptly forward such documentation to the Directing Certificateholder) reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the master servicer which provides that a refinancing of such Mortgage Loan or sale of the related Mortgaged Property will occur within 120 days after the date on which such balloon payment will become due (provided that if either such refinancing or sale does not occur before the expiration of the time period for refinancing or sale specified in such documentation or the master servicer is required during that time to make any P&I Advance in respect of the Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, in respect of the Mortgage Loan included in the same Whole Loan) at any time prior to such a refinancing or sale, a special servicing transfer event will occur immediately);

(2)       the related borrower fails to make when due any Periodic Payment (other than a balloon payment) or any other payment (other than a balloon payment) required under the related mortgage note or the related mortgage, which failure continues unremedied for 60 days;

(3)       the master servicer determines (in accordance with the Servicing Standard) or receives from the special servicer a written determination of the special

426 

servicer (which determination the special servicer is required to make in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (A) with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan), unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or (B) if a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, following consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan), unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) that a default in making any Periodic Payment (other than a balloon payment) or any other material payment (other than a balloon payment) required under the related mortgage note or the related mortgage is likely to occur in the foreseeable future, and such default is likely to remain unremedied for at least 60 days beyond the date on which the subject payment will become due; or the master servicer determines (in accordance with the Servicing Standard) or receives from the special servicer a written determination of the special servicer (which determination the special servicer is required to make in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (A) with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan), unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or (B) if a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, following consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan), unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) that a default in making a balloon payment is likely to occur in the foreseeable future, and such default is likely to remain unremedied for at least 60 days beyond the date on which such balloon payment will become due (or, if the borrower has delivered, on or prior to the date on which the balloon payment will become due, documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the master servicer or the special servicer (and the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, will be required to promptly forward such documentation to the Directing Certificateholder) which provides that a refinancing of such Mortgage Loan or sale of the related Mortgaged Property will occur within 120 days after the date on which such balloon payment will become due, the master servicer determines (in accordance with the Servicing Standard) or receives from the special servicer a written determination of the special servicer (which determination the special servicer is required to make in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (A) with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan), unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or (B) if a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, following consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan), unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) that (a) the borrower is likely not to make one or more assumed Periodic Payments as described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Advances—P&I Advances” in this prospectus prior to such a refinancing or sale or (b) such refinancing or sale is not likely to occur within 120 days following the date on which the balloon payment will become due);

(4)       a default has occurred (including, in the master servicer’s or the special servicer’s judgment, the failure of the related borrower to maintain any insurance required to be maintained pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, unless such default has been waived in accordance with the PSA) under the related Mortgage Loan documents, other than as described in clause (1) or (2) above, that may, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the master servicer or the special servicer (and, in the case of the special servicer (A) with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan), unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or (B) if a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, following consultation with

427 

the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan), unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), materially impair the value of the related Mortgaged Property as security for such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or otherwise materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders (or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of any holder of a related Serviced Companion Loan), which default has continued unremedied for the applicable cure period under the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (or, if no cure period is specified, 60 days);

(5)       a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, has been entered against the related borrower and such decree or order has remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days;

(6)       the related borrower has consented to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to such borrower or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property;

(7)       the related borrower has admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, filed a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, made an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspended payment of its obligations;

(8)       the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, receives notice of the commencement of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the corresponding Mortgaged Property; or

(9)       the master servicer or the special servicer (and in the case of the special servicer, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan), unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) determines that (i) a default (including, in the master servicer’s or the special servicer’s judgment, the failure of the related borrower to maintain any insurance required to be maintained pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, unless such default has been waived in accordance with the PSA) under the Mortgage Loan documents (other than as described in clause 3 above) is imminent or reasonably foreseeable, (ii) such default will materially impair the value of the corresponding Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (if any) or otherwise materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders (or the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) and (iii) the default is likely to continue unremedied for the applicable cure period under the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents, or, if no cure period is specified and the default is capable of being cured, for 60 days.

However, the master servicer will be required to continue to (x) receive payments on the Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) (including amounts collected by the special servicer), (y) make certain calculations with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and (z) make remittances and prepare certain reports to the Certificateholders with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. Additionally, the

428 

master servicer will continue to receive the Servicing Fee in respect of the Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) at the Servicing Fee Rate.

If the related Mortgaged Property is acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) (upon acquisition, an “REO Property”) whether through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the special servicer will continue to be responsible for its operation and management. If any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan becomes specially serviced, then the related Mortgage Loan will also become a Specially Serviced Loan. If any Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, then the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan will also become a Specially Serviced Loan. Neither the master servicer nor the special servicer will have any responsibility for the performance by the other party of its duties under the PSA. Any Mortgage Loan (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that is or becomes a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan and is cross-collateralized with a Specially Serviced Loan will become a Specially Serviced Loan.

If any Specially Serviced Loan, in accordance with its original terms or as modified in accordance with the PSA, becomes performing for at least 3 consecutive Periodic Payments (provided that no additional event of default is foreseeable in the reasonable judgment of the special servicer and no other event or circumstance exists that causes such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan to otherwise constitute a Specially Serviced Loan), the special servicer will be required to transfer servicing of such Specially Serviced Loan (a “Corrected Loan”) to the master servicer.

Asset Status Report

The special servicer will be required to prepare a report (an “Asset Status Report”) for each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, if applicable, any Serviced Whole Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Loan not later than 60 days after the servicing of such Mortgage Loan is transferred to the special servicer (the “Initial Delivery Date”) and will be required to amend, update or create a new Asset Status Report to the extent that during the course of the resolution of such Specially Serviced Loan material changes in the circumstances and/or strategy reflected in any current Final Asset Status Report are necessary to reflect the then-current circumstances and recommendation as to how the Specially Serviced Loan might be returned to performing status or otherwise liquidated in accordance with the Servicing Standard (each such report a “Subsequent Asset Status Report”). Each Asset Status Report will be required to be delivered in electronic form to:

● the Directing Certificateholder (but only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event);

● with respect to any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or, to the extent the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, the master servicer of such securitization into which the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan has been sold;

● the operating advisor (but, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event);

● the master servicer; and

429 

● the 17g-5 Information Provider, which will be required to post such report to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website.

A summary of each Final Asset Status Report will be provided to the certificate administrator and the certificate administrator will be required to post the summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the certificate administrator’s website.

An Asset Status Report prepared for each Specially Serviced Loan will be required to include, among other things, the following information:

● a summary of the status of such Specially Serviced Loan and any negotiations with the related borrower;

● a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known to the special servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the related Specially Serviced Loan and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;

● the most current rent roll and income or operating statement available for the related Mortgaged Property;

● (A) the special servicer’s recommendations on how such Specially Serviced Loan might be returned to performing status (including the modification of a monetary term, and any workout, restructure or debt forgiveness) and returned to the master servicer for regular servicing or foreclosed or otherwise realized upon (including any proposed sale of a Defaulted Loan or REO Property), (B) a description of any such proposed or taken actions, and (C) the alternative courses of action that were or are being considered by the special servicer in connection with the proposed or taken actions;

● the status of any foreclosure actions or other proceedings undertaken with respect to the Specially Serviced Loan, any proposed workouts and the status of any negotiations with respect to such workouts, and an assessment of the likelihood of additional defaults under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan;

● a description of any amendment, modification or waiver of a material term of any ground lease (or any space lease or air rights lease, if applicable) or franchise agreement;

● the decision that the special servicer made, or intends or proposes to make, including a narrative analysis setting forth the special servicer’s rationale for its proposed decision, including its rejection of the alternatives;

● an analysis of whether or not taking such proposed action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth (x) the basis on which the special servicer made such determination and (y) the net present value calculation and all related assumptions;

● the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property (and a copy of the last obtained appraisal of such Mortgaged Property) together with a description of any adjustments to the valuation of such Mortgaged Property made by the special servicer together with an explanation of those adjustments; and

430 

● such other information as the special servicer deems relevant in light of the Servicing Standard.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder will have the right to disapprove the Asset Status Report prepared by the special servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan within 10 business days after receipt of the Asset Status Report. If the Directing Certificateholder does not disapprove an Asset Status Report within 10 business days or if the special servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the disapproval by the Directing Certificateholder (communicated to the special servicer within 10 business days) is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole, the special servicer will be required to implement the recommended action as outlined in the Asset Status Report. If the Directing Certificateholder disapproves the Asset Status Report within the 10 business day period and the special servicer has not made the affirmative determination described above, the special servicer will be required to revise the Asset Status Report as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than 30 days after the disapproval. The special servicer will be required to continue to revise the Asset Status Report until the Directing Certificateholder fails to disapprove the revised Asset Status Report or until the special servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the disapproval is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole; provided that, if the Directing Certificateholder has not approved the Asset Status Report for a period of 60 business days following the first submission of an Asset Status Report, the special servicer may act upon the direction of the Directing Certificateholder, if consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, if the Directing Certificateholder’s direction would cause the special servicer to violate the Servicing Standard, the special servicer may act upon the most recently submitted form of Asset Status Report. The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “Directing Certificateholder Asset Status Report Approval Process”.

A “Final Asset Status Report” means, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the final iteration of the initial Asset Status Report (together with such other data or supporting information provided by the special servicer to the Directing Certificateholder that does not include any communication (other than the related Asset Status Report) between the special servicer and the Directing Certificateholder with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan) required to be delivered by the special servicer by the Initial Delivery Date and any Subsequent Asset Status Report, in each case, in the form fully approved or deemed approved, if applicable, by the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to the Directing Certificateholder Asset Status Report Approval Process or following completion of the ASR Consultation Process, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the special servicer may issue more than one Final Asset Status Report with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan in accordance with the procedures described above. Each Final Asset Status Report will be labeled or otherwise communicated as being “final” by the special servicer.

Prior to the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the special servicer will be required to deliver each Final Asset Status Report to the operating advisor following completion of the Directing Certificateholder Asset Status Report Approval Process. See “—The Directing Certificateholder—Major Decisions—Control Termination Event, Consultation Termination Event and Operating Advisor Consultation Event” below for a discussion of the operating advisor’s ability to ask the special servicer reasonable questions with respect to such Final Asset Status Report.

431 

If an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, the special servicer will be required to promptly deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan to the operating advisor (and, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan)). The operating advisor will be required to provide comments to the special servicer in respect of the Asset Status Report, if any, within 10 business days following the later of receipt of (i) such Asset Status Report or (ii) such related additional information reasonably requested by the operating advisor, and propose possible alternative courses of action to the extent it determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are holders of the Control Eligible Certificates), as a collective whole. The special servicer will be obligated to consider such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the operating advisor (and, so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan)) in connection with the special servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report. The special servicer may revise the Asset Status Report as it deems necessary to take into account any input and/or comments from the operating advisor (and, so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan)), to the extent the special servicer determines that the operating advisor’s and/or Directing Certificateholder’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with the Servicing Standard and in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole (or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the best interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of the related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu nature of any Pari Passu Companion Loans)).

Promptly upon determining whether or not to revise any Asset Status Report to take into account any input and/or comments from the operating advisor or the Directing Certificateholder, the special servicer will be required to revise the Asset Status Report, if applicable, and deliver to the operating advisor and the Directing Certificateholder the revised Asset Status Report (until a Final Asset Status Report is issued).

The special servicer will not be required to take or to refrain from taking any action because of an objection or comment by the operating advisor or a recommendation of the operating advisor. The procedures described in this and the foregoing two paragraphs are collectively referred to as the “ASR Consultation Process”. For additional information, see “—The Operating Advisor—Additional Duties of the Operating Advisor While an Operating Advisor Consultation Event Has Occurred and Is Continuing”.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, each of the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan) and the operating advisor will be entitled to consult with the special servicer and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder will have no right to consult with the special servicer with respect to Asset Status Reports and the special servicer will only be obligated to consult with the operating advisor with respect to any Asset Status Report as described above. The special servicer may choose to revise the Asset Status Report as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the operating advisor or the Directing Certificateholder during the applicable periods described above, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the operating advisor or the Directing Certificateholder.

432 

With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder will have approval and consultation rights with respect to any asset status report prepared by the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan that are substantially similar, but not identical, to the approval and consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Whole Loans. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”. See also “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” below.

Realization Upon Mortgage Loans

If a payment default or material non-monetary default on a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) has occurred, then, pursuant to the PSA, the special servicer, on behalf of the trustee, may, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the PSA, at any time institute foreclosure proceedings, exercise any power of sale contained in the related Mortgage, obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise acquire title to the related Mortgaged Property, by operation of law or otherwise. The special servicer is not permitted, however, to cause the trustee to acquire title to any Mortgaged Property, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to any Mortgaged Property or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property that would cause the trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or any other specified person to be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or an “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of certain federal environmental laws, unless the special servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an updated environmental assessment report prepared by a person who regularly conducts environmental audits and performed within six months prior to any such acquisition of title or other action (which report will be an expense of the issuing entity subject to the terms of the PSA) that:

(a)       such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance with such laws, and

(b)       there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any currently effective federal, state or local law or regulation, or that, if any such hazardous materials are present for which such action could be required, after consultation with an environmental consultant, it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

Such requirement precludes enforcement of the security for the related Mortgage Loan until a satisfactory environmental site assessment is obtained (or until any required remedial action is taken), but will decrease the likelihood that the issuing entity will become liable for a material adverse environmental condition at the Mortgaged Property. However, we cannot assure you that the requirements of the PSA will effectively insulate the issuing entity from potential liability for a materially adverse environmental condition at any Mortgaged Property.

433 

If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired by the issuing entity (directly or through a single member limited liability company established for that purpose), the special servicer will be required to sell the Mortgaged Property prior to the close of the third calendar year beginning after the year of acquisition, unless (1) the IRS grants (or has not denied) a qualifying extension of time to sell the Mortgaged Property or (2) the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the trustee receive an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that the holding of the Mortgaged Property by the Lower-Tier REMIC longer than the above-referenced 3 year period will not result in the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code at any time that any certificate is outstanding. Subject to the foregoing and any other tax-related limitations, pursuant to the PSA, the special servicer will generally be required to attempt to sell any Mortgaged Property so acquired in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The special servicer will also be required to cause any Mortgaged Property acquired by the issuing entity to be administered so that it constitutes “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8) at all times, and that the sale of the Mortgaged Property does not result in the receipt by the issuing entity of any income from nonpermitted assets as described in Code Section 860F(a)(2)(B). If any Lower-Tier REMIC acquires title to any Mortgaged Property, the special servicer, on behalf of such Lower-Tier REMIC, will retain, at the expense of the issuing entity, an independent contractor to manage and operate the property. The independent contractor generally will be permitted to perform construction (including renovation) on a foreclosed property only if the construction was more than 10% completed at the time default on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent. The retention of an independent contractor, however, will not relieve the special servicer of its obligation to manage the Mortgaged Property as required under the PSA.

In general, the special servicer will be obligated to cause any Mortgaged Property acquired as an REO Property to be operated and managed in a manner that would, in its reasonable judgment and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, maximize the issuing entity’s net after-tax proceeds from such property. Generally, no Trust REMIC will be taxable on income received with respect to a Mortgaged Property acquired by the issuing entity to the extent that it constitutes “rents from real property”, within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(3)(A) and Treasury regulations under the Code. Rents from real property include fixed rents and rents based on the gross receipts or sales of a tenant but do not include the portion of any rental based on the net income or profit of any tenant or sub-tenant. No determination has been made whether rent on any of the Mortgaged Properties meets this requirement. Rents from real property include charges for services customarily furnished or rendered in connection with the rental of real property, whether or not the charges are separately stated. Services furnished to the tenants of a particular building will be considered as customary if, in the geographic market in which the building is located, tenants in buildings which are of similar class are customarily provided with the service. No determination has been made whether the services furnished to the tenants of the Mortgaged Properties are “customary” within the meaning of applicable regulations. It is therefore possible that a portion of the rental income with respect to a Mortgaged Property owned by the issuing entity would not constitute rents from real property. In addition, it is possible that none of the income with respect to a Mortgaged Property would qualify if a separate charge is not stated for non-customary services provided to tenants or if such services are not performed by an independent contractor. Rents from real property also do not include income from the operation of a trade or business on the Mortgaged Property, such as a hotel property, or rental income attributable to personal property leased in connection with a lease of real property if the rent attributable to personal property exceeds 15% of the total net rent for the taxable year. Any of the foregoing types of income may instead constitute “net income from foreclosure property”, which would be

434 

taxable to a REMIC at the federal corporate rate (currently 21%) and may also be subject to state or local taxes. The PSA provides that the special servicer will be permitted to cause the Lower-Tier REMIC to earn “net income from foreclosure property” that is subject to tax if it determines that the net after-tax benefit to Certificateholders is greater than another method of operating or net leasing the Mortgaged Property. Because these sources of income, if they exist, are already in place with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, it is generally viewed as beneficial to Certificateholders to permit the issuing entity to continue to earn them if it acquires a Mortgaged Property, even at the cost of this tax. These taxes would be chargeable against the related income for purposes of determining the proceeds available for distribution to holders of certificates. See “Material Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxes That May Be Imposed on a REMIC—Prohibited Transactions”.

Under the PSA, the special servicer is required to establish and maintain one or more REO Accounts, to be held on behalf of the trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, and with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, for the retention of revenues and insurance proceeds derived from each REO Property. The special servicer is required to use the funds in the applicable REO Account to pay for the proper operation, management, maintenance and disposition of any REO Property for which it is acting as special servicer, but only to the extent that amounts on deposit in the applicable REO Account relate to such REO Property. To the extent that amounts in the applicable REO Account in respect of any REO Property are insufficient to make such payments, the master servicer is required to make a Servicing Advance, unless it determines such Servicing Advance would be nonrecoverable. On the later of (x) the date that is on or prior to each Determination Date or (y) two (2) business days after such amounts are received and properly identified and determined to be available, the special servicer is required to deposit (or remit to the master servicer for it to deposit) all amounts received in respect of each REO Property during the most recently ended Collection Period, net of any amounts withdrawn to make any permitted disbursements, into the Collection Account; provided that the special servicer may retain in the applicable REO Account permitted reserves.

Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties

If the special servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of discounted payoff) can be made for collection of delinquent payments on a Defaulted Loan (as defined below) and a sale of such Defaulted Loan would be in the best economic interests of the Certificateholders or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, Certificateholders and any Companion Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Holder constituted a single lender) and the special servicer attempts to sell such Defaulted Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan as described below, the special servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for such Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan in such manner as will be reasonably likely to maximize the value of the Defaulted Loan on a net present value basis. In the event that any Non-Serviced Special Servicer fails to comply with the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement requiring the sale of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan with each related Companion Loan, as a collective whole, under certain limited circumstances to the extent permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the special servicer will be entitled to sell (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such action would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement (and provided that the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will not be entitled to a liquidation

435 

fee with respect to liquidation of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the special servicer will be entitled to the liquidation fee that the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer would have otherwise been entitled to in connection with the sale of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. In the absence of a cash offer at least equal to its outstanding principal balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest and outstanding costs and expenses and certain other amounts under the PSA (a “Par Purchase Price”), the special servicer may purchase the Defaulted Loan for the Par Purchase Price or may accept the first cash offer received from any person that constitutes a fair price for the Defaulted Loan. If multiple offers are received during the period designated by the special servicer for receipt of offers, the special servicer is generally required to select the highest offer. The special servicer is required to give the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the operating advisor and (other than in respect of any Excluded Loan) the Directing Certificateholder not less than 10 business days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any such Defaulted Loan. Neither the trustee nor any of its affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Defaulted Loan. “Defaulted Loan” means a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan (i) that is delinquent at least 60 days in respect of its Periodic Payments (other than a balloon payment) or delinquent in respect of its balloon payment, if any; provided that in respect of a balloon payment, if the related borrower has provided documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable (and the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, will be required to promptly forward such documentation to the Directing Certificateholder), which provides that a refinancing of such Mortgage Loan or sale of the related Mortgaged Property will occur within 120 days after the date on which such balloon payment will become due, then such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan will not be considered a Defaulted Loan unless and until such balloon payment is delinquent at least one hundred twenty (120) days; and, in any case, such delinquency is to be determined without giving effect to any grace period permitted by the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note and without regard to any acceleration of payments under the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note or (ii) as to which the special servicer has, by written notice to the related borrower, accelerated the maturity of the indebtedness evidenced by the related Mortgage Note.

The special servicer will be required to determine whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan if the highest offeror is a person other than an Interested Person. In determining whether any offer from a person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the special servicer will be required to take into account (in addition to the results of any appraisal, updated appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to the PSA within the prior 9 months), among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy.

If the offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the trustee may not be a offeror), then the trustee will be required to determine whether the cash offer constitutes a fair price unless (i) the offer is equal to or greater than the applicable Par Purchase Price and (ii) the offer is the highest offer received. Absent an offer at least equal to the Par Purchase Price, no offer from an Interested Person will constitute a fair price unless (A) it is the highest offer received and (B) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the trustee will be supplied with and will be required to rely on the most recent appraisal or updated appraisal conducted in accordance with the PSA within the preceding 9-month period or, in the absence of any such appraisal, on a new appraisal. Except as provided in the following paragraph, the cost of any appraisal will be covered by, and will be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance by the master servicer.

436 

Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, if the trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the trustee will be required to (at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as the case may be, that has been selected with reasonable care by the trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. If the trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the trustee will be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph will be covered by, and will be reimbursable by, the Interested Person, and to the extent not collected from such Interested Person within 30 days of request therefor, by the master servicer as a Servicing Advance; provided that the trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the trustee.

The special servicer is required to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each REO Property on behalf of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder(s) (if applicable) and to sell each REO Property in the same manner as with respect to a Defaulted Loan.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs, the special servicer will not be required to accept the highest cash offer for a Defaulted Loan or REO Property if the special servicer determines in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan), in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to the requirements of any related Intercreditor Agreement), that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder(s) constituted a single lender). In addition, the special servicer may accept a lower offer (from any person other than itself or an affiliate) if it determines, in its reasonable judgment consistent with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder(s) constituted a single lender). The special servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to sell all Defaulted Loans prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date.

An “Interested Person”, as of the date of any determination, is the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the Directing Certificateholder, any sponsor, any Borrower Party, any independent contractor engaged by the special servicer or any known affiliate of any of the preceding entities, and, with respect to a Whole Loan if it is a Defaulted Loan, the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer (or any independent contractor engaged by the special servicer), or the trustee for the securitization of a Companion Loan, and each related Companion Holder or its representative, any holder of a related mezzanine loan, or any known affiliate of any such party described above.

With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement(s), if such Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, and if the special servicer determines to sell the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the discussion in this “—Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties” section, then the special

437 

servicer will be required to sell each related Companion Loan together with such Mortgage Loan as one whole loan and will be required to require that all offers be submitted to the special servicer in writing. The special servicer will not be permitted to sell the related Mortgage Loan together with each related Pari Passu Companion Loan if such Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan without the consent of the holder(s) of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), unless the special servicer complies with certain notice and delivery requirements set forth in the PSA and any related Intercreditor Agreement. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced Whole Loans”.

In addition, with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if such Mortgage Loan has become a defaulted loan under the related Non-Serviced PSA, and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer decides to sell the related Companion Loan contributed to the non-serviced securitization trust, such Non-Serviced Special Servicer will generally be required to sell such Mortgage Loan together with the related Companion Loan(s) as notes evidencing one whole loan. The issuing entity, as the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, will have the right to consent to such sale, provided that the Non-Serviced Special Servicer may sell the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan without such consent if the required notices and information regarding such sale are provided to the issuing entity in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Directing Certificateholder will be entitled to exercise such consent right so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, and if a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the operating advisor will be entitled to exercise such consent rights. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

To the extent that Liquidation Proceeds collected with respect to any Mortgage Loan are less than the sum of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) interest accrued on the Mortgage Loan and (3) the aggregate amount of outstanding reimbursable expenses (including any (i) unpaid servicing compensation, (ii) unreimbursed Servicing Advances, (iii) accrued and unpaid interest on all Advances and (iv) additional expenses of the issuing entity) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the issuing entity will realize a loss in the amount of the shortfall. The trustee, the master servicer and/or the special servicer will be entitled to reimbursement out of the Liquidation Proceeds recovered on any Mortgage Loan, prior to the distribution of those Liquidation Proceeds to Certificateholders, of any and all amounts that represent unpaid servicing compensation in respect of the related Mortgage Loan, certain unreimbursed expenses incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan and any unreimbursed Advances (including interest on Advances) made with respect to the Mortgage Loan. In addition, amounts otherwise distributable on the certificates will be further reduced by interest payable to the master servicer, the special servicer or trustee on these Advances.

The Directing Certificateholder

General

Subject to the rights of the holder of any related Companion Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreements as described under “—Rights of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” below, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder will be entitled to advise (1) the special servicer, with respect to all Major Decisions for Specially Serviced Loans (other than any Excluded Loan), and will have the right to replace the special servicer with or without cause and have certain other rights under the PSA, each as described below, (2) the special servicer, with respect to all non-Specially Serviced Loans (other than any Excluded Loan), as to all Major Decisions and (3) the master servicer to the extent the

438 

Directing Certificateholder’s consent is required by the definition of “Master Servicer Decision”. With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder will have certain consultation rights only, and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholders will not have any consent or consultation rights, as further described below.

The “Directing Certificateholder” will be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any Excluded Loan), the Controlling Class Certificateholder (or its representative) selected by more than 50% of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, by Certificate Balance, as determined by the certificate registrar from time to time; provided, however, that (1) absent that selection, or (2) until a Directing Certificateholder is so selected, or (3) upon receipt of a notice from a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, by Certificate Balance, that a Directing Certificateholder is no longer designated, the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or its representative) will be the Directing Certificateholder, provided, however, that (i) in the case of this clause (3), in the event no one holder owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class, then there will be no Directing Certificateholder until appointed in accordance with the terms of the PSA, and (ii) the certificate administrator and the other parties to the PSA will be entitled to assume that the identity of the Directing Certificateholder has not changed until such parties receive written notice of a replacement of the Directing Certificateholder from a party holding the requisite interest in the Controlling Class (as confirmed by the certificate registrar), or the resignation of the then-current Directing Certificateholder.

The initial Directing Certificateholder with respect to each Mortgage Loan is expected to be Argentic Securities Income USA LLC or an affiliate thereof.

A “Controlling Class Certificateholder” is each holder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) of a certificate of the Controlling Class as determined by the certificate registrar from time to time, upon request by any party to the PSA.

The “Controlling Class” will be, as of any time of determination, the most subordinate class of Control Eligible Certificates then outstanding that has an aggregate Certificate Balance (as notionally reduced by any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocable to such class) at least equal to 25% of the initial Certificate Balance of that class; provided, however, that if at any time the Certificate Balances of the certificates other than the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans, then the Controlling Class will be the most subordinate class of Control Eligible Certificates that has a Certificate Balance greater than zero without regard to any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts. The Controlling Class as of the Closing Date will be the Class H-RR certificates.

The “Control Eligible Certificates” will be any of the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class H-RR certificates.

The master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor, the certificate administrator, the trustee or any certificateholder may request that the certificate registrar determine which class of certificates is the then-current Controlling Class and the certificate registrar must thereafter provide such information to the requesting party. The depositor, the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor and, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, may request that the certificate administrator provide, and the certificate administrator must so provide, a list of the holders (or Certificate Owners, if applicable) of

439 

the Controlling Class at the expense of the issuing entity. The trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the special servicer and the operating advisor may each rely on any such list so provided.

In the event that no Directing Certificateholder has been appointed or identified to the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, and the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, has attempted to obtain such information from the certificate administrator and no such entity has been identified to the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, then until such time as the new Directing Certificateholder is identified to the master servicer and special servicer, the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, will have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of any such Directing Certificateholder as the case may be.

Major Decisions

Except as otherwise described under “—Control Termination Event, Operating Advisor Consultation Event and Consultation Termination Event” and “—Servicing Override” below and subject to the rights of the holder of the related Companion Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement as described under “—Rights of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” below, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the special servicer will only be permitted to take any of the following actions as to which the Directing Certificateholder has consented in writing within 10 business days after receipt of the special servicer’s written recommendation, which may be in the form of an Asset Status Report, and analysis and all information reasonably requested by the Directing Certificateholder, and reasonably available to the special servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent (the “Major Decision Reporting Package”), provided that if such written consent has not been received by the special servicer within such 10 business day period, the Directing Certificateholder will be deemed to have approved such action); provided that the foregoing consent rights of the Directing Certificateholder will not apply to any Excluded Loan.

Each of the following is a “Major Decision”:

(i)        any proposed or actual foreclosure upon or comparable conversion (which may include acquisition of an REO Property) of the ownership of properties securing any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and Serviced Companion Loan that comes into and continues in default;

(iii)       following a default or an event of default with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, any exercise of remedies, including the acceleration of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or initiation of any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, under the related Mortgage Loan documents;

(iv)       any sale of a Defaulted Loan and any related defaulted Companion Loan, or any REO Property (other than in connection with the termination of the

440 

issuing entity as described under “—Termination; Retirement of Certificates”), in each case, for less than the applicable Purchase Price;

(v)       any determination to bring a Mortgaged Property or an REO Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws or to otherwise address hazardous material located at a Mortgaged Property or an REO Property;

(vi)       any release of collateral or any acceptance of substitute or additional collateral for a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan or any consent to either of the foregoing, other than if (i) required pursuant to the specific terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or (ii) a release of a non-material, non-income producing parcel as described under clause (ii) or clause (v) of the definition of “Master Servicer Decision”;

(vii)      any waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or a Serviced Whole Loan or any consent to such a waiver or consent to a transfer of the Mortgaged Property or interests in the borrower or consent to the incurrence of additional debt, other than any such transfer or incurrence of debt as described under clause (xiii) of the definition of “Master Servicer Decision” or, solely with regard to Specially Serviced Loans, as may be effected (I) without the consent of the lender under the related loan agreement, (II) pursuant to the specific terms of such Mortgage Loan and (III) for which there is no lender discretion;

(viii)     any consent to a property management company change with respect to a Mortgage Loan for which the proposed replacement property manager is a Borrower Party, including, without limitation, approval of the termination of a manager and appointment of a new property manager;

(ix)      any franchise changes with respect to a Mortgage Loan for which the lender is required to consent or approve such changes under the related Mortgage Loan documents;

(x)       other than in the case of any non-Specially Serviced Loan, releases of any material amounts from any escrow accounts, reserve funds or letters of credit, in each case, held as performance escrows or reserves, other than those required pursuant to the specific terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and for which there is no lender discretion;

(xi)      any acceptance of an assumption agreement or any other agreement permitting a transfer of interests in a borrower or guarantor releasing a borrower or guarantor from liability under a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan other than pursuant to the specific terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and for which there is no lender discretion;

(xii)     other than in the case of a non-Specially Serviced Loan or a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any modification, amendment, consent to a modification or waiver of any material term of any intercreditor, co-lender or similar agreement with any mezzanine lender, subordinate debt holder or Pari Passu Companion Loan holder related to a Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan (except any modification, amendment, consent to a modification or waiver of any term of any Intercreditor Agreement or any intercreditor, co-lender or similar agreement with any mezzanine lender or subordinate debt holder to split or resize notes consistent with the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement or such intercreditor, co-lender or similar agreement), or

441 

any action to enforce rights (or decision not to enforce rights) with respect thereto; provided, however, that any such modification or amendment that would adversely impact the master servicer will additionally require the consent of the master servicer as a condition to its effectiveness;

(xiii)     any consent to incurrence of additional debt by a borrower or mezzanine debt by a direct or indirect parent of a borrower;

(xiv)     agreeing to any modification, waiver, consent or amendment of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan in connection with a defeasance if such proposed modification, waiver, consent or amendment is with respect to (A) a modification of the type of defeasance collateral required under the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan documents such that defeasance collateral other than direct, non-callable obligations of the United States would be permitted or (B) a modification that would permit a principal prepayment instead of defeasance if the applicable loan documents do not otherwise permit such principal prepayment;

(xv)      determining whether to cure any default by a borrower under a ground lease or permit any ground lease modification, waiver, amendment or subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement or entry into a new ground lease;

(xvi)     other than in the case of any non-Specially Serviced Loan, and other than with respect to a ground lease (addressed in clause (xv) above), any modification, waiver or amendment of any lease, the execution of a new lease or the granting of a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in connection with any lease at a Mortgaged Property or REO Property, if the lease affects an area greater than or equal to 30% of the net rentable area of the improvements at the Mortgaged Property;

(xvii)    other than in the case of any non-Specially Serviced Loan, approval of any waiver regarding the receipt of financial statements (other than immaterial timing waivers including late financial statements which in no event relieve any borrower of the obligation to provide financial statements on at least a quarterly basis) following three consecutive late deliveries of financial statements;

(xviii)   other than in the case of a non-Specially Serviced Loan, any approval of or consent to a grant of an easement or right of way that materially affects the use or value of a Mortgaged Property or a borrower’s ability to make payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or any related Companion Loan or subordination of the lien of the Mortgage Loan to such easement or right of way; and

(xix)    other than in the case of any non-Specially Serviced Loan, any determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this section, the special servicer will be required to process all requests for any matter that constitutes a “Major Decision” with respect to all Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and Serviced Companion Loans. Further, upon receiving a request for any matter described in this section that constitutes a Major Decision with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan, the master servicer will be required to promptly forward such request to the special servicer and the special servicer will be required to process such request (including, without limitation, interfacing with the borrower) and except as provided in the next sentence, the master servicer will have no further obligation with respect to such request or

442 

the Major Decision. With respect to such request, the master servicer will continue to cooperate with the special servicer by delivering any additional information in the master servicer’s possession to the special servicer requested by the special servicer relating to such Major Decision. The master servicer will not be permitted to process any Major Decision and will not be required to interface with the borrower or provide a written recommendation and analysis with respect to any Major Decision.

Asset Status Report

With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder will have the right to disapprove the Asset Status Report prepared by the special servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan. If a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder will have no right to consult with the special servicer with respect to the Asset Status Reports. See “—Asset Status Report” above.

Replacement of the Special Servicer

With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder will have the right to replace the special servicer with or without cause as described under “—Replacement of the Special Servicer Without Cause” and “—Termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for Cause—Servicer Termination Events” below.

Control Termination Event, Operating Advisor Consultation Event and Consultation Termination Event

With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Excluded Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, if a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, but for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the special servicer will not be required to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any of the Major Decisions or Asset Status Reports, but will be required to consult with the Directing Certificateholder in connection with any Major Decision or Asset Status Report (or any other matter for which the consent of the Directing Certificateholder would have been required or for which the Directing Certificateholder would have the right to direct the special servicer if no Control Termination Event had occurred and was continuing) and to consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Certificateholder in respect of such Major Decision or Asset Status Report (or such other matter). Such consultation will not be binding on the special servicer. In the event the special servicer receives no response from the Directing Certificateholder within 10 business days following its written request for input on any required consultation, the special servicer will not be obligated to consult with the Directing Certificateholder on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder to respond will not relieve the special servicer from consulting with the Directing Certificateholder on any future matters with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Excluded Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan. The special servicer will be required to provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the operating advisor (a) prior to the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, promptly after the special servicer receives the Directing Certificateholder’s approval or deemed approval with respect to such Major Decision or (b) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, simultaneously upon providing such Major Decision Reporting Package to the Directing Certificateholder; provided, however, that with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan no Major Decision Reporting Package will be required to be delivered (and the Special Servicer will use

443 

reasonable efforts not to deliver such Major Decision Reporting Package) prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event. With respect to any particular Major Decision and/or related Major Decision Reporting Package or any Asset Status Report required to be delivered by the special servicer to the operating advisor, the special servicer will be required to make available to the operating advisor a servicing officer with the relevant knowledge regarding any Mortgage Loan and such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report in order to address reasonable questions that the operating advisor may have relating to, among other things, such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report and potential conflicts of interest with respect to such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report.

In addition, if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, the special servicer will also be required to deliver a Major Decision Reporting Package to the operating advisor and consult with the operating advisor in connection with any Major Decision (and such other matters that are subject to consultation rights of the operating advisor pursuant to the PSA) and to consider alternative actions recommended by the operating advisor in respect of such Major Decision; provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event the special servicer receives no response from the operating advisor within 10 business days following the later of (i) its written request for input (which request is required to include the related Major Decision Reporting Package) on any required consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the operating advisor related to the subject matter of such consultation, the special servicer will not be obligated to consult with the operating advisor on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the operating advisor to respond will not relieve the special servicer from consulting with the operating advisor on any future matters with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this prospectus, with respect to any Excluded Loan (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the special servicer or the related Excluded Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required to consult with the operating advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the operating advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the PSA for consulting with the operating advisor.

With respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan (that is not also an Excluded Loan), if any, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) will be required to select an Excluded Special Servicer with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event or if at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded Loan, the resigning special servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to select the related Excluded Special Servicer. The resigning special servicer will not have any liability with respect to the actions or inactions of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer or with respect to the identity of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer.

If a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, no class of certificates will act as the Controlling Class, and the Directing Certificateholder will not have any consultation or consent rights under the PSA or any right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Certificateholder under the PSA. The special servicer will nonetheless be required to consult with only the operating advisor in connection with Major Decisions, Asset Status Reports and other material special servicing actions to the extent set forth in the PSA, and no Controlling Class Certificateholder will be

444 

recognized or have any right to approve or be consulted with respect to asset status reports or material special servicer actions.

A “Control Termination Event” will occur when the Class E-RR certificates have a Certificate Balance (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such class) of less than 25% of the initial Certificate Balance of that class; provided, however, that a Control Termination Event will not be deemed continuing in the event that the Certificate Balances of the certificates other than the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans.

A “Consultation Termination Event” will occur when there is no class of Control Eligible Certificates that has a then-outstanding Certificate Balance at least equal to 25% of the initial Certificate Balance of that class, in each case, without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts; provided, however, that a Consultation Termination Event will not be deemed continuing in the event that the Certificate Balances of the certificates other than the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans.

With respect to any Excluded Loan or the holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, none of the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder will have any consent or consultation rights with respect to the servicing of such Excluded Loan and a Control Termination Event and Consultation Termination Event will be deemed to have occurred with respect to an Excluded Loan.

For a description of certain restrictions on any modification, waiver or amendment to the Mortgage Loan documents, see “—Modifications, Waivers and Amendments” above.

Servicing Override

In the event that the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate action with respect to any Major Decision or Master Servicer Decision (or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event in the PSA (or any matter requiring consultation with the Directing Certificateholder or the operating advisor)) is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders (and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan), as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu nature of any Companion Loan), the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Certificateholder’s response (or without waiting to consult with the Directing Certificateholder or the operating advisor, as the case may be); provided that the special servicer or master servicer, as applicable, provides the Directing Certificateholder (or the operating advisor, if applicable) with prompt written notice following such action including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis for such action.

In addition, neither the master servicer nor the special servicer (i) will be required to take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to instructions or objections from the Directing Certificateholder or (ii) may follow any advice or consultation provided by the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or its representative) that would (1) cause it to violate any applicable law, the related Mortgage Loan documents, any related Intercreditor Agreement, the PSA, including the Servicing Standard, or the REMIC provisions, (2) expose the master servicer, the special servicer, the

445 

certificate administrator, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer, the issuing entity or the trustee to liability, (3) materially expand the scope of responsibilities of the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, under the PSA or (4) cause the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.

Rights of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans

With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, the Directing Certificateholder for this securitization will not be entitled to exercise the rights described above, but such rights, or rights substantially similar to those rights, will be exercisable by the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder. The issuing entity, as the holder of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, has consultation rights with respect to certain major decisions relating to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan and, other than in respect of an Excluded Loan, so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder will be entitled to exercise such consultation rights of the issuing entity pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement. In addition, other than in respect of an Excluded Loan, so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder may have certain consent rights in connection with a sale of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan that has become a defaulted loan under the PSA or the related Non-Serviced PSA, as applicable. See also “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

Rights of the Holders of Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans

With respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan that has a related Pari Passu Companion Loan, the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan has consultation rights with respect to certain Major Decisions and consent rights in connection with the sale of the related Serviced Whole Loan if it has become a Defaulted Loan to the extent described in “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced Whole Loans” and “—Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties”.

Limitation on Liability of Directing Certificateholder

The Directing Certificateholder will not be liable to the issuing entity or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment. However, the Directing Certificateholder will not be protected against any liability to the Controlling Class Certificateholders that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders.

Each Certificateholder will acknowledge and agree, by its acceptance of its certificates, that the Directing Certificateholder:

(a)       may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of holders of one or more classes of certificates;

(b)       may act solely in the interests of the holders of the Controlling Class;

(c)       does not have any liability or duties to the holders of any class of certificates other than the Controlling Class;

(d)       may take actions that favor the interests of the holders of one or more classes including the Controlling Class over the interests of the holders of one or more other classes of certificates; and

(e)       will have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder) for having so acted as set forth in (a) – (d) above, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Certificateholder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of the Directing Certificateholder for having so acted.

The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the master servicer or the special servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Directing Certificateholder, which does not violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, any law, the Servicing Standard or the provisions of the PSA or the related Intercreditor Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the master servicer or special servicer.

Each Certificateholder will acknowledge and agree, by its acceptance of its certificates, that the holders of any Non-Serviced Companion Loan or their respective designees (e.g., the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder) will have limitations on liability with respect to actions taken in connection with the related Mortgage Loan similar to the limitations of the Directing Certificateholder described above pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Serviced PSA. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

The Operating Advisor

General

The operating advisor will act solely as a contracting party to the extent set forth in the PSA, and in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard, and will have no fiduciary duty to any party. The operating advisor’s duties will be limited to its specific duties under the PSA, and the operating advisor will have no duty or liability to any particular class of certificates or any Certificateholder or any third party. The operating advisor is not the special servicer or a sub-servicer and will not be charged with changing the outcome on any particular Specially Serviced Loan. By purchasing a certificate, potential investors acknowledge and agree that there could be multiple strategies to resolve any Specially Serviced Loan and that the goal of the operating advisor’s participation is to provide additional input relating to the special servicer’s compliance with the Servicing Standard in making its determinations as to which strategy to execute.

Potential investors should note that the operating advisor is not an “advisor” for any purpose other than as specifically set forth in the PSA and is not an advisor to any person, including without limitation any Certificateholder. For the avoidance of doubt, the operating advisor is not an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or a broker or dealer within the meaning of the Exchange Act. See “Risk Factors—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Your Lack of Control Over the Issuing Entity and the Mortgage Loans Can Impact Your Investment”.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the operating advisor will generally have no obligations or consultation rights as operating advisor under the PSA for this transaction with respect to

447 

any Non-Serviced Whole Loan (each of which will be serviced pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA) or any related REO Properties. In addition, the operating advisors or equivalent parties under the Non-Serviced PSAs have certain obligations and consultation rights with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, which are substantially similar to those of the operating advisor under the PSA for this transaction.

Furthermore, the operating advisor will have no obligation or responsibility at any time to review the actions of the master servicer for compliance with the Servicing Standard. Except with respect to a waiver of the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee by the master servicer, the operating advisor will have no obligation or responsibility at any time to consult with the master servicer.

Duties of Operating Advisor At All Times

With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the operating advisor’s obligations will generally consist of the following:

(a)reviewing the actions of the special servicer with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan to the extent described in this prospectus and required under the PSA;

(b)reviewing (i) all reports by the special servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the certificate administrator’s website that are relevant to the operating advisor’s obligations under the PSA and (ii) each Asset Status Report (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event) and Final Asset Status Report;

(c)recalculating and reviewing for accuracy and consistency with the PSA the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portion of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with Appraisal Reduction Amounts, Collateral Deficiency Amounts, Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts and net present value calculations used in the special servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the workout or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Loan, as described below; and

(d)preparing an annual report (if any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan at any time during the prior calendar year or if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event occurred during the prior calendar year) generally in the form attached to this prospectus as Annex C, to be provided to the certificate administrator (and made available through the certificate administrator’s website) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (and made available through the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website), as described below under “—Annual Report”.

In connection with the performance of the duties described in clause (c) above:

(1)after the calculation has been finalized (and, if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, prior to the utilization by the special servicer), the special servicer will be required to deliver the foregoing calculations together with information and support materials (including such additional information reasonably requested by the operating advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Information) to the operating advisor;

(2)if the operating advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation, the operating advisor and the

448 

special servicer will be required to consult with each other in order to resolve any material inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement; and

(3)if the operating advisor and the special servicer are not able to resolve such matters, the operating advisor will be required to promptly notify the certificate administrator and the certificate administrator will be required to examine the calculations and supporting materials provided by the special servicer and the operating advisor and determine which calculation is to apply and will provide such parties prompt written notice of its determination.

Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the operating advisor’s review will be limited to an after-the-action review of the reports, calculations and materials described above (together with any additional information and material reviewed by the operating advisor), and, therefore, it will have no involvement with respect to the determination and execution of Major Decisions and other similar actions that the special servicer may perform under the PSA and will have no obligations at any time with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. In addition, with respect to the operating advisor’s review of net present value calculations as described above, the operating advisor’s recalculation will not take into account the reasonableness of special servicer’s property and borrower performance assumptions or other similar discretionary portions of the net present value calculation.

With respect to the determination of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, or has terminated, the Operating Advisor is entitled to rely solely on its receipt from the Certificate Administrator of notice thereof pursuant to the PSA, and, with respect to any obligations of the Operating Advisor that are performed only after the occurrence and continuation of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the Operating Advisor will have no obligation to perform any such duties until the receipt of such notice or actual knowledge of the occurrence of an Operation Advisor Consultation Event.

The “Operating Advisor Standard” means the requirement that the operating advisor must act solely on behalf of the issuing entity and in the best interest of, and for the benefit of, the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan for the benefit of the holders of the related Companion Loan (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Holders constituted a single lender), and not in the best interest of nor for the benefit of holders of any particular class of certificates (as determined by the operating advisor in the exercise of its good faith and reasonable judgment), but without regard to any conflict of interest arising from any relationship that the operating advisor or any of its affiliates may have with any of the underlying borrowers, any sponsor, any mortgage loan seller, the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the asset representations reviewer, the Directing Certificateholder or any Certificateholder or any of their affiliates. The operating advisor will perform its duties under the PSA in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard.

Annual Report

Based on the operating advisor’s review of (i) any Assessment of Compliance report, any Attestation Report and other information delivered to the operating advisor by the special servicer or made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the certificate administrator’s website during the prior calendar year, (ii) prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, any related Final Asset Status Report or Major Decision Reporting Package

449 

delivered to the operating advisor and (iii) after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, any Asset Status Report and any Major Decision Reporting Package provided to the operating advisor with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the operating advisor will (to the extent required to be delivered for a particular calendar year as described above) prepare an annual report generally in the form attached to this prospectus as Annex C (the “Operating Advisor Annual Report”) to be provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider (and made available through the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website) and the certificate administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and made available through the certificate administrator’s website) within 120 days of the end of the prior calendar year that (a) sets forth whether the operating advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the special servicer is operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties under the PSA with respect to Specially Serviced Loans (and, after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, also with respect to Major Decisions on non-Specially Serviced Loans) during the prior calendar year on a “trust-level basis” and (b) identifies (1) which, if any, standards the operating advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, the special servicer has failed to comply with and (2) any material deviations from the special servicer’s obligations under the PSA with respect to the resolution or liquidation of any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than with respect to any REO Property related to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan); provided, however, that in the event the special servicer is replaced, the operating advisor’s annual report will only relate to the entity that was acting as special servicer as of December 31 in the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through the date of such annual report. In addition, in preparing any Operating Advisor Annual Report, the operating advisor will not be required to report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard or the special servicer’s obligations under the PSA that the operating advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial.

Only as used in connection with the operating advisor’s annual report, the term “trust-level basis” refers to the special servicer’s performance of its duties with respect to the pool of Specially Serviced Loans (and, after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to Major Decisions on non-Specially Serviced Loans) under the PSA, taking into account the special servicer’s specific duties under the PSA as well as the extent to which those duties were performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with reasonable consideration by the operating advisor of any Assessment of Compliance report, Attestation Report, Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Report, Final Asset Status Report and any other information delivered to the operating advisor by the special servicer (other than any communications between the Directing Certificateholder and the special servicer that would be Privileged Information) pursuant to the PSA.

The special servicer must be given an opportunity to review any annual report produced by the operating advisor at least 5 business days prior to its delivery to the certificate administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider; provided that the operating advisor will have no obligation to adopt any comments to such annual report that are provided by the special servicer.

In each annual report, the operating advisor will identify any material deviations (i) from the Servicing Standard and (ii) from the special servicer’s obligations under the PSA with respect to the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans or REO Properties that the special servicer is responsible for servicing under the PSA (other than with respect to any REO Property related to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) based on the limited review required in the PSA. Each annual report will be required to comply with the confidentiality

450 

requirements, subject to certain exceptions, each as described in this prospectus and as provided in the PSA regarding Privileged Information.

The ability to perform the duties of the operating advisor and the quality and the depth of any annual report will be dependent upon the timely receipt of information prepared or made available by others and the accuracy and the completeness of such information. In addition, in no event will the operating advisor have the power to compel any transaction party to take, or refrain from taking, any action. It is possible that the lack of access to Privileged Information may limit or prohibit the operating advisor from performing its duties under the PSA, in which case any annual report will describe any resulting limitations, and the operating advisor will not be subject to any liability arising from such limitations or prohibitions. The operating advisor will be entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy and completeness of any information it is provided without liability for any such reliance thereunder.

Additional Duties of the Operating Advisor While an Operating Advisor Consultation Event Has Occurred and Is Continuing

With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, after the operating advisor has received notice that an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, in addition to the duties described above, the operating advisor will be required to perform the following additional duties:

● to consult (on a non-binding basis) with the special servicer (telephonically or electronically) in respect of the Asset Status Reports, as described under “—Asset Status Report”; and

● to consult (on a non-binding basis) with the special servicer to the extent it has received a Major Decision Reporting Package (telephonically or electronically) with respect to Major Decisions processed by the special servicer as described under “—The Directing Certificateholder—Major Decisions”.

To facilitate the consultation above, the Special Servicer will be required to send to the Operating Advisor an Asset Status Report or Major Decision Reporting Package, as applicable, before the action is implemented.

Recommendation of the Replacement of the Special Servicer

If at any time the operating advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the special servicer is not performing its duties as required under the PSA or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and (2) the replacement of the special servicer would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole, then the operating advisor may recommend the replacement of the special servicer and deliver a report supporting such recommendation in the manner described in “—Replacement of Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and Certificateholder Vote”.

451 

Eligibility of Operating Advisor

The operating advisor will be required to be an Eligible Operating Advisor at all times during the term of the PSA. “Eligible Operating Advisor” means an institution:

(1)that is the special servicer or operating advisor on a commercial mortgage-backed securities transaction rated by the Rating Agencies (including, in the case of the operating advisor, this transaction) but has not been the special servicer or operating advisor on a transaction for which any Rating Agency has qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more classes of certificates for such transaction citing servicing or other relevant concerns with the operating advisor in its capacity as the special servicer or operating advisor, as applicable, as the sole or a material factor in such rating action;

(2)that can and will make the representations and warranties of the operating advisor set forth in the PSA;

(3)that is not (and is not Risk Retention Affiliated with) the depositor, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the special servicer, a mortgage loan seller, the Directing Certificateholder, the Third-Party Purchaser, or a depositor, a trustee, a certificate administrator, the master servicer or the special servicer with respect to the securitization of a Companion Loan, or any of their Risk Retention Affiliates;

(4)that has not been paid by the special servicer or successor special servicer any fees, compensation or other remuneration (x) in respect of its obligations under the PSA or (y) for the appointment or recommendation for replacement of a successor special servicer to become the special servicer;

(5)that (x) has been regularly engaged in the business of analyzing and advising clients in commercial mortgage-backed securities matters and has at least five years of experience in collateral analysis and loss projections, and (y) has at least five years of experience in commercial real estate asset management and experience in the workout and management of distressed commercial real estate assets; and

(6)that does not directly or indirectly, through one or more affiliates or otherwise, own or have derivative exposure in any interest in any certificates, any Mortgage Loan, any Companion Loan or securities backed by a Companion Loan or otherwise have any financial interest in the securitization transaction to which the PSA relates, other than in fees from its role as operating advisor and asset representations reviewer (to the extent it also acts as the asset representations reviewer).

“Risk Retention Affiliate” or “Risk Retention Affiliated” means “affiliate of” or “affiliated with”, as such terms are defined in 12 C.F.R. 43.2 of the Credit Risk Retention Rules.

Other Obligations of Operating Advisor

At all times, subject to the Privileged Information Exception, the operating advisor and its affiliates will be obligated to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled “Privileged Information” received from the special servicer or the Directing Certificateholder in connection with the Directing Certificateholder’s exercise of any rights under the PSA (including, without limitation, in connection with any Asset Status Report) or otherwise in connection with the transaction, except under the circumstances described below. As used

452 

in this prospectus, “Privileged Information” means (i) any correspondence between the Directing Certificateholder and the special servicer related to any Specially Serviced Loan (in each case, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan) or the exercise of the Directing Certificateholder’s consent or consultation rights under the PSA, (ii) any strategically sensitive information (including any such information contained within any Asset Status Report) that the special servicer has reasonably determined (and has identified as privileged or confidential information) could compromise the issuing entity’s position in any ongoing or future negotiations with the related borrower or other interested party and (iii) information subject to attorney-client privilege.

The operating advisor is required to keep all such labeled Privileged Information confidential and may not disclose such labeled Privileged Information to any person (including Certificateholders other than the Directing Certificateholder), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by the PSA, to the other parties to the PSA with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information, (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception or (3) where necessary to support specific findings or conclusions concerning allegations of deviations from the Servicing Standard (i) in the Operating Advisor Annual Report or (ii) in connection with a recommendation by the operating advisor to replace the special servicer. Each party to the PSA that receives Privileged Information from the operating advisor with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information may not disclose such Privileged Information to any person without the prior written consent of the special servicer and, unless a Control Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and other than any Excluded Loan) other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception.

“Privileged Information Exception” means, with respect to any Privileged Information, at any time (a) such Privileged Information becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by the party restricted from disclosing such Privileged Information (the “Restricted Party”), (b) it is reasonable and necessary for the Restricted Party to disclose such Privileged Information in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, (c) such Privileged Information was already known to such Restricted Party and not otherwise subject to a confidentiality obligation and/or (d) the Restricted Party is required by law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to disclose such information.

Neither the operating advisor nor any of its affiliates may make any investment in any class of certificates; provided, however, that such prohibition will not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker dealer affiliate of the operating advisor or (ii) investments by an affiliate of the operating advisor if the operating advisor and such affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the operating advisor under the PSA from personnel involved in such affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the issuing entity and the operating advisor and its personnel from gaining access to such affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

Delegation of Operating Advisor’s Duties

The operating advisor may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors in accordance with the PSA; however, the operating advisor will remain obligated and primarily liable for any actions required to be performed by it under the PSA without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any person acting as its agents or

453 

subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the operating advisor alone were performing its obligations under the PSA.

Termination of the Operating Advisor With Cause

The following constitute operating advisor termination events under the PSA (each, an “Operating Advisor Termination Event”), whether any such event is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:

(a)     any failure by the operating advisor to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of any of its representations or warranties under the PSA, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the operating advisor by any party to the PSA or to the operating advisor, the certificate administrator and the trustee by the holders of certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights; provided that with respect to any such failure that is not curable within such 30 day period, the operating advisor will have an additional cure period of 30 days to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure within the initial 30 day period and has provided the trustee and the certificate administrator with an officer’s certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such cure;

(b)     any failure by the operating advisor to perform in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the operating advisor by any party to the PSA;

(c)     any failure by the operating advisor to be an Eligible Operating Advisor, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the operating advisor by any party to the PSA;

(d)     a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, was entered against the operating advisor, and such decree or order remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;

(e)     the operating advisor consents to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidation committee in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation, or similar proceedings of or relating to the operating advisor or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(f)      the operating advisor admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, files a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations.

Upon receipt by the certificate administrator of notice of the occurrence of any Operating Advisor Termination Event, the certificate administrator will be required to promptly provide

454 

written notice to all Certificateholders electronically by posting such notice on its internet website and by mail, unless the certificate administrator has received notice that such Operating Advisor Termination Event has been remedied.

Rights Upon Operating Advisor Termination Event

After the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the trustee may, and upon the written direction of Certificateholders representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the classes of certificates), the trustee will, promptly terminate the operating advisor for cause and appoint a replacement operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor; provided that no such termination will be effective until a successor operating advisor has been appointed and has assumed all of the obligations of the operating advisor under the PSA. The trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement operating advisor that it is an Eligible Operating Advisor. If the trustee is unable to find a replacement operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor within 30 days of the termination of the operating advisor, the depositor will be permitted to find a replacement.

Upon any termination of the operating advisor and appointment of a successor operating advisor, the trustee will, as soon as possible, be required to give written notice of the termination and appointment to the special servicer, the master servicer, the certificate administrator, the depositor, the Directing Certificateholder (for any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan and only for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred), any Companion Holder, the Certificateholders and the 17g-5 Information Provider (and made available through the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website).

Waiver of Operating Advisor Termination Event

The holders of certificates representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights affected by any Operating Advisor Termination Event may waive such Operating Advisor Termination Event within 20 days of the receipt of notice from the trustee of the occurrence of such Operating Advisor Termination Event. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, such Operating Advisor Termination Event will cease to exist and will be deemed to have been remedied. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event by Certificateholders, the trustee and the certificate administrator will be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Operating Advisor Termination Event prior to such waiver from the issuing entity.

Termination of the Operating Advisor Without Cause

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the operating advisor may be removed upon (i) the written direction of Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of classes to which such Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) requesting a vote to replace the operating advisor with a replacement operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor selected by such Certificateholders, (ii) payment by such requesting holders to the certificate administrator of all reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the certificate administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) receipt by the trustee of the Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such removal.

455 

The certificate administrator will be required to promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by posting such notice on its internet website, and by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all certificates in such regard.

Upon the vote or written direction of holders of at least 75% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of classes to which such Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable), the trustee will immediately replace the operating advisor with the replacement operating advisor.

Resignation of the Operating Advisor

The operating advisor may resign upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the asset representations reviewer and the Directing Certificateholder if the operating advisor has secured a replacement operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and such replacement operating advisor has accepted its appointment as the replacement operating advisor and receipt by the trustee of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. If no successor operating advisor has been so appointed and accepted the appointment within 30 days after the notice of resignation, the resigning operating advisor may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor. The resigning operating advisor must pay all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties.

Operating Advisor Compensation

Certain fees will be payable to the operating advisor, and the operating advisor will be entitled to be reimbursed for certain expenses, as described under “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer”.

In the event the operating advisor resigns or is terminated for any reason it will remain entitled to any accrued and unpaid fees and reimbursement of Operating Advisor Expenses and any rights to indemnification provided under the PSA with respect to the period for which it acted as operating advisor.

The operating advisor will be entitled to reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the operating advisor in the event that the operating advisor is terminated without cause. See “—Termination of the Operating Advisor Without Cause” above.

The Asset Representations Reviewer

Asset Review

Asset Review Trigger

On or prior to each Distribution Date, based on the CREFC^® delinquent loan status report and/or the CREFC^® loan periodic update file delivered by the master servicer for such Distribution Date, the certificate administrator will be required to determine if an Asset Review Trigger has occurred. If an Asset Review Trigger is determined to have occurred, the certificate administrator will be required to promptly provide notice to the asset representations reviewer and to provide notice to all Certificateholders by posting a notice of its determination on its internet website and by mailing such notice to the Certificateholders’ addresses appearing in the certificate register. On each Distribution Date after providing such notice to the Certificateholders, the certificate administrator, based on information provided to it by the master servicer or the special servicer, will be required to determine

456 

whether (1) any additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan, (2) any Mortgage Loan has ceased to be a Delinquent Loan and (3) an Asset Review Trigger has ceased to exist, and, if there is an occurrence of any of the events or circumstances identified in clauses (1), (2) and/or (3), deliver such information in a written notice (which may be via email) within 2 business days to the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer. An “Asset Review Trigger” will occur when either (1) Mortgage Loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of 25.0% or more of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans (including any REO Loans (or a portion of any REO Loan in the case of a Whole Loan)) held by the issuing entity as of the end of the applicable Collection Period are Delinquent Loans or (2) at least 15 Mortgage Loans are Delinquent Loans as of the end of the applicable Collection Period and the outstanding principal balance of such Delinquent Loans in the aggregate constitutes at least 20.0% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans (including any REO Loans (or a portion of any REO Loan in the case of a Whole Loan)) held by the issuing entity as of the end of the applicable Collection Period. The PSA will require that the certificate administrator include in the Distribution Report on Form 10-D relating to the distribution period in which the Asset Review Trigger occurred a description of the events that caused the Asset Review Trigger to occur.

We believe this Asset Review Trigger is appropriate considering the unique characteristics of pools of Mortgage Loans underlying CMBS. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Static Pool Data Would Not Be Indicative of the Performance of this Pool”. In general, upon a Delinquent Loan becoming a Specially Serviced Loan, as part of the special servicer’s initial investigation into the circumstances that caused the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent and be transferred to the special servicer, the special servicer will typically conduct a review of the Delinquent Loan for possible breaches of representations and warranties. Given that the special servicer will commonly have already conducted such a review and discussed any findings with the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) prior to the occurrence of an Asset Review Trigger, to avoid additional fees, costs and expenses to the issuing entity, we set the Delinquent Loan percentage based on an outstanding principal balance in clause (1) of the definition of Asset Review Trigger to exceed a delinquency rate that would result in estimated losses that exceed the subordination provided by the Control Eligible Certificates. For purpose of this calculation, we assumed an average loss severity of 40%, however, we cannot assure you that any actual loss severity will equal that assumed percentage. On the other hand, a significant number of Delinquent Loans by loan count, but representing a smaller percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans than the percentage set forth in clause (1) of the definition of Asset Review Trigger, could also indicate an issue with the quality of the Mortgage Pool. As a result, we believe it would be appropriate to have an alternative test as set forth in clause (2) of the definition of Asset Review Trigger, namely to have the Asset Review Trigger be met if Mortgage Loans representing 15 of the Mortgage Loans (by loan count) are Delinquent Loans so long as those Mortgage Loans represent at least 20% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans. With respect to the 83 prior pools of commercial mortgage loans for which Wells Fargo Bank (or its predecessors) was sponsor in a public offering of CMBS with a securitization closing date on or after January 1, 2008 (excluding zero of such 83 pools with an outstanding balance that is equal to or less than 20% of the Initial Pool Balance), the highest percentage of mortgage loans, based on the aggregate outstanding principal balance of delinquent mortgage loans in an individual CMBS transaction, that were delinquent at least 60 days at the end of any reporting period between January 1, 2012 and September 30, 2018, was 7.2%; however, the average of the highest delinquency percentages based on the aggregate outstanding principal balance of delinquent mortgage loans in the reviewed

457 

transactions was 0.8%; and the highest percentage of delinquent mortgage loans, based upon the number of mortgage loans in the reviewed transactions was 3.8% and the average of the highest delinquency percentages based on the number of mortgage loans in the reviewed transactions was 0.8%.

“Delinquent Loan” means a Mortgage Loan that is delinquent at least 60 days in respect of its Periodic Payments or balloon payment, if any, in either case such delinquency to be determined without giving effect to any grace period.

Asset Review Vote

If Certificateholders evidencing not less than 5.0% of the Voting Rights deliver to the certificate administrator, within 90 days after the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of an Asset Review Trigger, a written direction requesting a vote to commence an Asset Review (an “Asset Review Vote Election”), the certificate administrator will promptly provide written notice of such direction to all Certificateholders (with a copy to the asset representations reviewer), and to conduct a solicitation of votes of Certificateholders to authorize an Asset Review. Upon the affirmative vote to authorize an Asset Review by Certificateholders evidencing at least (i) a majority of those Certificateholders who cast votes and (ii) a majority of an Asset Review Quorum within 150 days of the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election (an “Affirmative Asset Review Vote”), the certificate administrator will promptly provide written notice of such Affirmative Asset Review Vote to all parties to the PSA, the underwriters, the mortgage loan sellers, the Directing Certificateholder and the Certificateholders. In the event an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has not occurred within such 150-day period following the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, no Certificateholder may request a vote or cast a vote for an Asset Review and the asset representations reviewer will not be required to review any Delinquent Loan unless and until, as applicable, (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan after the expiration of such 150-day period, (B) a new Asset Review Trigger has occurred as a result or an Asset Review Trigger is otherwise in effect, (C) the certificate administrator has timely received an Asset Review Vote Election after the occurrence of the events described in clauses (A) and (B) above and (D) an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred within 150 days after the Asset Review Vote Election described in clause (C) above. After the occurrence of any Asset Review Vote Election or an Affirmative Asset Review Vote, no Certificateholder may make any additional Asset Review Vote Election except as described in the immediately preceding sentence. Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the certificate administrator in connection with administering such vote will be paid as an expense of the issuing entity from the Collection Account.

An “Asset Review Quorum” means, in connection with any solicitation of votes to authorize an Asset Review as described above, the holders of certificates evidencing at least 5.0% of the aggregate Voting Rights.

Review Materials

Upon receipt of notice from the certificate administrator of an Affirmative Asset Review Vote (the “Asset Review Notice”), the custodian (with respect to clauses (i) – (v) for all Mortgage Loans), the master servicer (with respect to clauses (vi) and (vii) for non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the special servicer (with respect to clauses (vi) and (vii) for Specially Serviced Loans), in each case, to the extent in such party’s possession, will be required to promptly, but in no event later than within 10 business days, provide the following materials in electronic format to the extent in their possession to the asset representations reviewer (collectively, with the Diligence Files posted to the secure data

458 

room by the certificate administrator, a copy of the prospectus, a copy of each related MLPA and a copy of the PSA, the “Review Materials”):

(i)        a copy of an assignment of the Mortgage in favor of the trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, for each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(ii)       a copy of an assignment of any related assignment of leases (if such item is a document separate from the Mortgage) in favor of the trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(iii)      a copy of the assignment of all unrecorded documents relating to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review, if not already covered pursuant to items (i) or (ii) above;

(iv)      copies of all filed copies (bearing evidence of filing) or evidence of filing of any UCC financing statements related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(v)       a copy of an assignment in favor of the trustee of any financing statement executed and filed in the relevant jurisdiction related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

(vi)       a copy of any notice previously delivered by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, of any alleged defect or breach with respect to any Delinquent Loan; and

(vii)      copies of any other related documents that were entered into or delivered in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan that the asset representations reviewer has determined are necessary in connection with its completion of any Asset Review and that are requested by the asset representations reviewer, in the time frames and as otherwise described below.

In the event that, as part of an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan, the asset representations reviewer determines that it is missing any document that is required to be part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan and that is necessary in connection with its completion of the Asset Review, the asset representations reviewer will promptly, but in no event later than 10 business days after receipt of the Review Materials, notify the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, of such missing document(s), and request the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, promptly, but in no event later than 10 business days after receipt of notification from the asset representations reviewer, deliver to the asset representations reviewer such missing document(s) to the extent in its possession. In the event any missing documents are not provided by the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, within such 10 business day period, the asset representations reviewer will request such documents from the related mortgage loan seller. The mortgage loan seller will be required under the related MLPA to deliver such additional documents only to the extent such documents are in the possession of such party but in any event excluding any documents that contain information that is proprietary to the related originator or mortgage loan seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications.

459 

The asset representations reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider and rely upon information furnished to it by a person that is not a party to the PSA or the related mortgage loan seller, and will do so only if such information can be independently verified (without unreasonable effort or expense to the asset representations reviewer) and is determined by the asset representations reviewer in its good faith and sole discretion to be relevant to the Asset Review (any such information, “Unsolicited Information”), as described below.

Asset Review

Upon its receipt of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Diligence Files posted to the secure data room with respect to a Delinquent Loan, the asset representations reviewer, as an independent contractor, will be required to commence a review of the compliance of each Delinquent Loan with the representations and warranties related to that Delinquent Loan (such review, the “Asset Review”). An Asset Review of each Delinquent Loan will consist of the application of a set of pre-determined review procedures (the “Tests”) for each representation and warranty made by the applicable mortgage loan seller with respect to such Delinquent Loan. Once an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan is completed, no further Asset Review will be required of or performed on that Mortgage Loan notwithstanding that such Mortgage Loan may continue to be a Delinquent Loan or become a Delinquent Loan again at the time when a new Asset Review Trigger occurs and a new Affirmative Asset Review Vote is obtained subsequent to the occurrence of such Asset Review Trigger.

“Asset Review Standard” means the performance by the asset representations reviewer of its duties under the PSA in good faith subject to the express terms of the PSA. All determinations or assumptions made by the asset representations reviewer in connection with an Asset Review are required to be made in the asset representations reviewer’s good faith discretion and judgment based on the facts and circumstances known to it at the time of such determination or assumption.

No Certificateholder will have the right to change the scope of the asset representations reviewer’s review, and the asset representations reviewer will not be required to review any information other than (i) the Review Materials and (ii) if applicable, Unsolicited Information.

The asset representations reviewer may, absent manifest error and subject to the Asset Review Standard, (i) assume, without independent investigation or verification, that the Review Materials are accurate and complete in all material respects and (ii) conclusively rely on such Review Materials.

The asset representations reviewer must prepare a preliminary report with respect to each delinquent loan within 56 days after the date on which access to the secure data room is provided by the certificate administrator. In the event that the asset representations reviewer determines that the Review Materials are insufficient to complete a Test and such missing documentation is not delivered to the asset representations reviewer by the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans), the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) to the extent in the possession of the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, or from the related mortgage loan seller within 10 business days following the request by the asset representations reviewer to the master servicer, the special servicer or the related mortgage loan seller, as the case may be, as described above, the asset representations reviewer will list such missing documents in a preliminary report setting forth the preliminary results of the application of the Tests and the reasons why such missing documents are necessary to complete a Test and (if the asset

460 

representations reviewer has so concluded) that the absence of such documents will be deemed to be a failure of such Test. The asset representations reviewer will be required to provide such preliminary report to the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), and the related mortgage loan seller. If the preliminary report indicates that any of the representations and warranties fails or is deemed to fail any Test, the mortgage loan seller will have 90 days (the “Cure/Contest Period”) to remedy or otherwise refute the failure. Any documents or explanations to support the related mortgage loan seller’s claim that the representation and warranty has not failed a Test or that any missing documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test will be sent by the related mortgage loan seller to the asset representations reviewer. For the avoidance of doubt, the asset representations reviewer will not be required to prepare a preliminary report in the event the asset representations reviewer determines that there is no Test failure with respect to the related Delinquent Loan.

The asset representations reviewer will be required, within 60 days after the date on which access to the secure data room is provided to the asset representations reviewer by the certificate administrator or within 10 days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period (whichever is later), to complete an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan and deliver (i) a report setting forth the asset representations reviewer’s findings and conclusions as to whether or not it has determined there is any evidence of a failure of any Test based on the Asset Review and a statement that the asset representations reviewer’s findings and conclusions set forth in such report were not influenced by any third party (an “Asset Review Report”) to each party to the PSA, the related mortgage loan seller for each Delinquent Loan and the Directing Certificateholder, and (ii) a summary of the asset representations reviewer’s conclusions included in such Asset Review Report (an “Asset Review Report Summary”) to the trustee, the special servicer, the master servicer and the certificate administrator. The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional 30 days, upon written notice to the parties to the PSA and the related mortgage loan seller, if the asset representations reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that such additional time is required due to the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans and/or the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. In no event will the asset representations reviewer be required to determine whether any Test failure constitutes a Material Defect, or whether the issuing entity should enforce any rights it may have against the related mortgage loan seller (or Benefit Street Partners Realty Trust, Inc., as guarantor of the repurchase and substitution obligations of BSPRT CMBS Finance, LLC) which, in each such case, will be the responsibility of the Enforcing Servicer. See “—Enforcement of Mortgage Loan Seller’s Obligations Under the MLPA” below. In addition, in the event that the asset representations reviewer does not receive any documentation that it requested from the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans), the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) or the related mortgage loan seller in sufficient time to allow the asset representations reviewer to complete its Asset Review and deliver an Asset Review Report, the asset representations reviewer will be required to prepare the Asset Review Report solely based on the documentation received by the asset representations reviewer with respect to the related Delinquent Loan, and the asset representations reviewer will have no responsibility to independently obtain any such documentation from any party to the PSA or otherwise. The PSA will require that the certificate administrator (i) include the Asset Review Report Summary in the Distribution Report on Form 10–D relating to the distribution period in which the Asset Review Report Summary was received, and (ii) post such Asset Review Report Summary to the certificate administrator’s website not later than two business days after receipt of such Asset Review Report Summary from the asset representations reviewer.

461 

Eligibility of Asset Representations Reviewer

The asset representations reviewer will be required to represent and warrant in the PSA that it is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The asset representations reviewer is required to be at all times an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. If the asset representations reviewer ceases to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, the asset representations reviewer is required to immediately notify the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the operating advisor, the certificate administrator and the Directing Certificateholder of such disqualification and immediately resign under the PSA as described under the “—Resignation of Asset Representations Reviewer” below.

An “Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer” is an institution that (i) is the special servicer, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer on a transaction rated by any of DBRS, Inc. (“DBRS”), Fitch, Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc. (“KBRA”), Moody’s, Morningstar or S&P and that has not been the special servicer, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer on a transaction for which DBRS, Fitch, KBRA, Moody’s, Morningstar or S&P has qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more classes of certificates for such transaction citing servicing or other relevant concerns with the special servicer, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in such rating action, (ii) can and will make the representations and warranties of the asset representations reviewer set forth in the PSA, (iii) is not (and is not affiliated (including Risk Retention Affiliated) with) any sponsor, any mortgage loan seller, any originator, the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the Directing Certificateholder, the Third-Party Purchaser or any of their respective affiliates (including Risk Retention Affiliates), (iv) has not performed (and is not affiliated with any party hired to perform) any due diligence, loan underwriting, brokerage, borrower advisory or similar services with respect to any Mortgage Loan or any related Companion Loan prior to the Closing Date for or on behalf of any sponsor, any mortgage loan seller, any underwriter, the Third-Party Purchaser, any party to the PSA, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective affiliates, or have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by any of them in connection with any such services and (v) that does not directly or indirectly, through one or more affiliates or otherwise, own any interest in any certificates, any Mortgage Loans, any Companion Loan or any securities backed by a Companion Loan or otherwise have any financial interest in the securitization transaction to which the PSA relates, other than in fees from its role as asset representations reviewer (or as operating advisor, if applicable) and except as otherwise set forth in the PSA.

Other Obligations of Asset Representations Reviewer

The asset representations reviewer and its affiliates are required to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” received from any party to the PSA or any sponsor under the PSA (including, without limitation, in connection with the review of the Mortgage Loans) and not disclose such Privileged Information to any person (including Certificateholders), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by the PSA in an Asset Review Report or otherwise, to the other parties to the PSA with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Each party to the PSA that receives such Privileged Information from the asset representations reviewer with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information may not disclose such Privileged Information to any person without the prior written consent of the special servicer other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception.

462 

Neither the asset representations reviewer nor any of its affiliates may make any investment in any class of certificates; provided, however, that such prohibition will not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker dealer affiliate of the asset representations reviewer or (ii) investments by an affiliate of the asset representations reviewer if the asset representations reviewer and such affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the asset representations reviewer under the PSA from personnel involved in such affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the issuing entity and the asset representations reviewer and its personnel from gaining access to such affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

Delegation of Asset Representations Reviewer’s Duties

The asset representations reviewer may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors in accordance with the PSA, however, the asset representations reviewer will remain obligated and primarily liable for any Asset Review required in accordance with the provisions of the PSA without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the asset representations reviewer alone were performing its obligations under the PSA.

Assignment of Asset Representation Reviewer’s Rights and Obligations

The asset representations reviewer may assign its rights and obligations under the PSA in connection with the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its asset representations reviewer portfolio, provided that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation (A) is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer resulting from a merger, consolidation or succession that is permitted under the PSA, (B) assumes in writing each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the asset representations reviewer under the PSA and (C) is not a prohibited party under the PSA; (ii) the asset representations reviewer will not be released from its obligations under the PSA that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment and delegation; (iii) the rate at which each of the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee and the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee (or any component thereof) is calculated may not exceed the rate then in effect and (iv) the resigning asset representations reviewer will be required to be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of each other party to the PSA and the Rating Agencies in connection with such transfer. Upon acceptance of such assignment and delegation, the purchaser or transferee will be required to provide notice to each party to the PSA and then will be the successor asset representations reviewer under the PSA.

Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Events

The following constitute asset representations reviewer termination events under the PSA (each, an “Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event”) whether any such event is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:

(i)        any failure by the asset representations reviewer to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of any of its representations or warranties under the PSA, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the asset

463 

representations reviewer by the trustee or to the asset representations reviewer and the trustee by the holders of certificates evidencing greater than 25% of the Voting Rights; provided that with respect to any such failure that is not curable within such 30-day period, the asset representations reviewer will have an additional cure period of 30 days to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure within the initial 30-day period and has provided the trustee and the certificate administrator with an officer’s certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such cure;

(ii)       any failure by the asset representations reviewer to perform its obligations set forth in the PSA in accordance with the Asset Review Standard in any material respect, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the asset representations reviewer by any party to the PSA;

(iii)      any failure by the asset representations reviewer to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the asset representations reviewer by any party to the PSA;

(iv)       a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, has been entered against the asset representations reviewer, and such decree or order has remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;

(v)        the asset representations reviewer consents to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidation committee in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation, or similar proceedings of or relating to the asset representations reviewer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(vi)       the asset representations reviewer admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, files a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations.

Upon receipt by the certificate administrator of written notice of the occurrence of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event, the certificate administrator will be required to promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders (which is required to be simultaneously delivered to the asset representations reviewer) electronically by posting such notice on its internet website and by mail, unless the certificate administrator has received notice that such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event has been remedied.

Rights Upon Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event

If an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event occurs, and in each and every such case, so long as such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event has not been remedied, then either the trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of Certificateholders evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the

464 

application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts) will be required to, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the asset representations reviewer under the PSA, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by written notice to the asset representations reviewer. The asset representations reviewer is required to bear all reasonable costs and expenses of each other party to the PSA in connection with its termination for cause.

Termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer Without Cause

Upon (i) the written direction of Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts) requesting a vote to terminate and replace the asset representations reviewer with a proposed successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, and (ii) payment by such holders to the certificate administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the certificate administrator in connection with administering such vote, the certificate administrator will promptly provide notice to all Certificateholders and the asset representations reviewer of such request by posting such notice on its internet website, and by mailing to all Certificateholders and the asset representations reviewer. Upon the written direction of Certificateholders evidencing at least 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum (without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts), the trustee will terminate all of the rights and obligations of the asset representations reviewer under the PSA (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination)) by written notice to the asset representations reviewer, and the proposed successor asset representations reviewer will be appointed.

In the event that holders of the certificates evidencing at least 75% of the Voting Rights elect to remove the asset representations reviewer without cause and appoint a successor, the successor asset representations reviewer will be responsible for all expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.

Resignation of Asset Representations Reviewer

The asset representations reviewer may at any time resign by giving written notice to the other parties to the PSA. In addition, the asset representations reviewer will at all times be, and will be required to resign if it fails to be, an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer by giving written notice to the other parties. Upon such notice of resignation, the depositor will be required to promptly appoint a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. No resignation of the asset representations reviewer will be effective until a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer has been appointed and accepted the appointment. If no successor asset representations reviewer has been so appointed and accepted the appointment within 30 days after the notice of resignation, the resigning asset representations reviewer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The resigning asset representations reviewer must pay all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties.

465 

Asset Representations Reviewer Compensation

Certain fees will be payable to the asset representations reviewer, and the asset representations reviewer will be entitled to be reimbursed for certain expenses, as described under “—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses”.

Replacement of the Special Servicer Without Cause

Except as limited by certain conditions described in this prospectus and subject to the rights of any related Companion Holder under a related Intercreditor Agreement, the special servicer may generally be replaced, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, at any time and without cause, by the Directing Certificateholder so long as, among other things, the Directing Certificateholder appoints a replacement special servicer that meets the requirements of the PSA, including that the trustee and the certificate administrator receive a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such replacement will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities and that such replacement special servicer may not be the asset representations reviewer or any of its affiliates. The reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any such termination incurred by the Directing Certificateholder without cause (including the costs of obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation) will be paid by the holders of the Controlling Class.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, upon (i) the written direction of holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances) of the Principal Balance Certificates requesting a vote to replace the special servicer with a new special servicer, (ii) payment by such holders to the certificate administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses (including any legal fees and any Rating Agency fees and expenses) to be incurred by the certificate administrator in connection with administering such vote (which fees and expenses will not be additional trust fund expenses), and (iii) delivery by such holders to the certificate administrator and the trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (such Rating Agency Confirmation will be obtained at the expense of those holders of certificates requesting such vote) and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that the contemplated appointment or replacement will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, the certificate administrator will be required to post notice of the same on the certificate administrator’s website and concurrently by mail and conduct the solicitation of votes of all certificates in such regard, which requisite affirmative votes must be received within 180 days of the posting of such notice. Upon the written direction of holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing at least 66-2/3% of a Certificateholder Quorum, the trustee will be required to terminate all of the rights and obligations of the special servicer under the PSA and appoint the successor special servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) designated by such Certificateholders, subject to indemnification, right to outstanding fees, reimbursement of Advances and other rights set forth in the PSA, which survive such termination. The certificate administrator will include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder may access such notices via the certificate administrator’s website and that each Certificateholder may register to receive electronic mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon.

A “Certificateholder Quorum” means, in connection with any solicitation of votes in connection with the replacement of the special servicer or asset representations reviewer

466 

described above, the holders of certificates evidencing at least 50% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Realized Losses and, other than with respect to the termination of the asset representations reviewer, the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the certificates) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the special servicer obtains knowledge that it has become a Borrower Party with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, an “Excluded Special Servicer Loan”), the special servicer will be required to resign as special servicer of that Excluded Special Servicer Loan. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, if the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is not also an Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder will be required to select a successor special servicer that is not a Borrower Party in accordance with the terms of the PSA (the “Excluded Special Servicer”) for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event or if at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded Loan, the resigning special servicer will be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint the Excluded Special Servicer. The special servicer will not have any liability with respect to the actions or inactions of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer or with respect to the identity of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer. It will be a condition to any such appointment that (i) the Rating Agencies confirm that the appointment would not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any of their then-current ratings of the certificates and the equivalent from each NRSRO hired to provide ratings with respect to any class of securities backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, (ii) the applicable Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and (iii) the applicable Excluded Special Servicer delivers to the depositor and the certificate administrator and any applicable depositor and certificate administrator of any other securitization, if applicable, that contains a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the information, if any, required pursuant to Item 6.02 of the Form 8-K regarding itself in its role as Excluded Special Servicer.

If at any time the special servicer is no longer a Borrower Party with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (including, without limitation, as a result of the related Mortgaged Property becoming REO Property), (1) the related Excluded Special Servicer will be required to resign, (2) the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan will no longer be an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (3) the special servicer will become the special servicer again for such related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and (4) the special servicer will be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan earned during such time on and after such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is no longer an Excluded Special Servicer Loan.

The applicable Excluded Special Servicer will be required to perform all of the obligations of the special servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan and will be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan earned during such time as the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (provided that the special servicer will remain entitled to all other special servicing compensation with respect to all Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans that are not Excluded Special Servicer Loans during such time).

A “Qualified Replacement Special Servicer” is a replacement special servicer that (i) satisfies all of the eligibility requirements applicable to the special servicer in the PSA, (ii) is not the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer or an affiliate of the operating advisor or the asset representations reviewer (and, if appointed by the Directing Certificateholder or with the approval of the requisite vote of certificateholders following the

467 

operating advisor’s recommendation to replace the special servicer as described in “—Replacement of Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and Certificateholder Vote” below, is not the originally replaced special servicer or its affiliate), (iii) is not obligated to pay the operating advisor (x) any fees or otherwise compensate the operating advisor in respect of its obligations under the PSA, or (y) for the appointment of the successor special servicer or the recommendation by the operating advisor for the replacement special servicer to become the special servicer, (iv) is not entitled to receive any compensation from the operating advisor other than compensation that is not material and is unrelated to the operating advisor’s recommendation that such party be appointed as the replacement special servicer, (v) is not entitled to receive any fee from the operating advisor for its appointment as successor special servicer, in each case, unless expressly approved by 100% of the Certificateholders, (vi) currently has a special servicer rating of at least “CSS3” from Fitch, (vii) is currently acting as a special servicer in a commercial mortgage-backed securities transaction rated by Moody’s on a transaction-level basis (as to which a commercial mortgage-backed securities transaction there are outstanding a commercial mortgage-backed securities rated by Moody’s), and has not been publicly cited by Moody’s as having servicing concerns as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in a transaction serviced by the applicable servicer prior to the time of determination and (viii) is currently acting as a special servicer in a transaction rated by KBRA and has not been publicly cited by KBRA as having servicing concerns as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a rating downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in a transaction serviced by the applicable servicer prior to the time of determination.

Replacement of the Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and Certificateholder Vote

If the operating advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (i) the special servicer is not performing its duties as required under the PSA or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (ii) the replacement of the special servicer would be in the best interest of the certificateholders as a collective whole, then then the operating advisor will have the right to recommend the replacement of the special servicer. In such event, the operating advisor will be required to deliver to the trustee and the certificate administrator, with a copy to the special servicer, a written report detailing the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a suggested replacement special servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer). The certificate administrator will be required to notify each Certificateholder of the recommendation and post it on the certificate administrator’s internet website, and to conduct the solicitation of votes with respect to such recommendation. Approval by the Certificateholders of such Qualified Replacement Special Servicer will not preclude the Directing Certificateholder from appointing a replacement, so long as such replacement is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and is not the originally replaced special servicer or its affiliate.

The operating advisor’s recommendation to replace the special servicer must be confirmed by an affirmative vote of holders of Certificates evidencing at least a majority of a quorum of Certificateholders (which, for this purpose, is the holders of Certificates that (i) evidence at least 20% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis, and (ii) consist of at least three Certificateholders or Certificate Owners that are not Risk Retention Affiliated with each

468 

other). In the event the holders of Principal Balance Certificates, evidencing at least a majority of a quorum of Certificateholders, elect to remove and replace the special servicer (which requisite affirmative votes must be received within 180 days of the posting of the notice of the operating advisor’s recommendation to replace the special servicer to the certificate administrator’s website), the certificate administrator will be required to receive a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies at that time, and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such replacement will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities. In the event the certificate administrator receives a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies (and the successor special servicer agrees to be bound by the terms of the PSA), the trustee will then be required to terminate all of the rights and obligations of the special servicer under the PSA and to appoint the successor special servicer approved by the holders of Certificates evidencing at least a majority of a quorum of Certificateholders, provided such successor special servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer, subject to the terminated special servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, reimbursement of Advances and other rights set forth in the PSA that survive termination. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel) associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations and administering the vote of the applicable holders of the Certificates and the operating advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer will be an additional trust fund expense.

In any case, the trustee will notify the outgoing special servicer promptly of the effective date of its termination. Any replacement special servicer recommended by the operating advisor must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer.

In the event the special servicer is terminated as a result of the recommendation of the operating advisor described in this “—Replacement of the Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and Certificateholder Vote”, the Directing Holder may not subsequently reappoint as special servicer such terminated special servicer or any affiliate of such terminated special servicer.

No appointment of a special servicer will be effective until the depositor or the depositor for the securitization of a Companion Loan has filed any required Exchange Act filings related to the removal and replacement of the special servicer.

With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loans, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer may be removed, and a successor special servicer appointed at any time by the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder (and not by the Directing Certificateholder for this transaction) to the extent set forth in the related Non-Serviced PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement for such Non-Serviced Whole Loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans” and “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” below.

Resignation of Master Servicer, Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Operating Advisor or Asset Representations Reviewer Upon Prohibited Risk Retention Affiliation

Upon the occurrence of (i) a servicing officer of the master servicer or a responsible officer of the certificate administrator or the trustee, as applicable, obtaining actual knowledge that the master servicer, the certificate administrator or the trustee, as applicable, is or has become Risk Retention Affiliated with or a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third-Party Purchaser (in such case, an “Impermissible TPP Affiliate”), or (ii) the operating

469 

advisor or the asset representations reviewer becoming Risk Retention Affiliated with or a Risk Retention Affiliate of the Third-Party Purchaser or any other party to the PSA (other than the operating advisor and asset representations reviewer) (such operating advisor or asset representations reviewer together with an Impermissible TPP Affiliate, an “Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate”), then, in each case, such Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate is required to promptly notify the Sponsors and the other parties to the PSA and resign in accordance with the terms of the PSA. The resigning Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate will be required to bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each other party to the PSA, the issuing entity and each Rating Agency in connection with such resignation as and to the extent required under the PSA, provided however, if the affiliation causing an Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate is the result of the Third-Party Purchaser acquiring an interest in such Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate or an affiliate of such Impermissible Risk Retention Affiliate, then such costs and expenses will be an expense of the issuing entity.

Termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for Cause

Servicer Termination Events

A “Servicer Termination Event” under the PSA with respect to the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, will include, without limitation:

(a)     (i) any failure by the master servicer to make a deposit required to be made by the master servicer to the Collection Account or remit to the companion paying agent for deposit into the Companion Distribution Account on the day and by the time such deposit or remittance was first required to be made, which failure is not remedied within one business day, or (ii) any failure by the master servicer to deposit into, or remit to the certificate administrator for deposit into, the Distribution Account any amount required to be so deposited or remitted, which failure is not remedied by 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the relevant Distribution Date;

(b)     any failure by the special servicer to deposit into the applicable REO Account within one business day after the day such deposit is required to be made, or to remit to the master servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, or any other account required under the PSA, any such deposit or remittance required to be made by the special servicer pursuant to, and at the time specified by, the PSA;

(c)     any failure by the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, duly to observe or perform in any material respect any of its other covenants or obligations under the PSA, which failure continues unremedied for 30 days (or (i) with respect to any year that a report on Form 10-K is required to be filed, 5 business days in the case of the master servicer’s or special servicer’s obligations, as the case may be, under the PSA in respect of Exchange Act reporting items (after any applicable grace periods), (ii) 15 days in the case of the master servicer’s failure to make a Servicing Advance or (iii) 15 days in the case of a failure to pay the premium for any property insurance policy required to be maintained under the PSA) after written notice of the failure has been given (A) to the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, by any other party to the PSA, or (B) to the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, with a copy to each other party to the related PSA, by Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of all Voting Rights or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan if affected by that failure, by the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; provided, however, that if that failure is capable of being cured and the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, is diligently pursuing that cure, such period will be extended an additional 30 days;

470 

provided, further, however, that such extended period will not apply to the obligations regarding Exchange Act reporting;

(d)     any breach on the part of the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, of any representation or warranty in the PSA that materially and adversely affects the interests of any class of Certificateholders or holders of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and that continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which notice of that breach, requiring the same to be remedied, will have been given to the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, by the depositor, the certificate administrator or the trustee, or to the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, the certificate administrator and the trustee by the Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of Voting Rights or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan affected by such breach, by the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; provided, however, that if that breach is capable of being cured and the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, is diligently pursuing that cure, that 30-day period will be extended an additional 30 days;

(e)     certain events of insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings in respect of or relating to the master servicer or special servicer, and certain actions by or on behalf of the master servicer or special servicer indicating its insolvency or inability to pay its obligations;

(f)      either Moody’s or KBRA (or, in the case of Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, any Companion Loan Rating Agency) (i) has qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more classes of certificates (or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, as applicable), or (ii) has placed one or more classes of certificates (or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, as applicable) on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal (and in the case of clause (i) or (ii), such action has not been withdrawn by Moody’s or KBRA, as applicable (or, in the case of Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, any Companion Loan Rating Agency), within 60 days of such rating action) and, in the case of either of clauses (i) or (ii), such Rating Agency publicly cited servicing concerns with the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, as the sole or a material factor in such rating action; or

(g)     the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, is no longer rated at least “CMS3” or “CSS3”, respectively, by Fitch and such master servicer or special servicer is not reinstated to at least that rating within 60 days of the delisting.

“Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities” means, for so long as the related Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Loan is part of the Mortgage Pool, any class of securities issued by another securitization and backed by a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

Rights Upon Servicer Termination Event

If a Servicer Termination Event occurs with respect to the master servicer or the special servicer under the PSA, then, so long as the Servicer Termination Event remains unremedied, the depositor or the trustee will be authorized, and at the written direction of Certificateholders entitled to more than 25% of the Voting Rights or, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder (solely with respect to the special servicer and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan), the trustee will be required to terminate all of the rights and obligations of the defaulting party as master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be (other than certain rights in respect of indemnification and certain items of servicing compensation),

471 

under the PSA. The trustee will then succeed to all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the defaulting party as master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under the PSA and will be entitled to similar compensation arrangements. If the trustee is unwilling or unable to so act, it may (or, at the written request of Certificateholders entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights, or, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than in respect of an Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder, it will be required to) appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a mortgage loan servicing institution, subject to the trustee’s receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and confirmation (or deemed confirmation) from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment (or replacement) will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities and, with respect to a successor special servicer, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, that has been approved by the Directing Certificateholder, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, none of the asset representations reviewer, the operating advisor and their respective affiliates may be appointed as a successor master servicer or special servicer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the section above, if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the special servicer remains unremedied and affects the holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, and the special servicer has not otherwise been terminated, the holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or, if applicable, the related trustee, acting at the direction of the related directing certificateholder (or similar entity)) will be entitled to direct the trustee to terminate the special servicer solely with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan. The appointment (or replacement) of the special servicer with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan will in any event be subject to Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment (or replacement) will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities. A replacement special servicer with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan will be selected by the trustee or, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, by the Directing Certificateholder; provided, however, that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the special servicer with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan cannot at any time be the person (or an affiliate of such person) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, without the prior written consent of such holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the section above, if a servicer termination event on the part of a Non-Serviced Special Servicer remains unremedied and affects the issuing entity, and such Non-Serviced Special Servicer has not otherwise been terminated, the trustee, acting at the direction of the Directing Certificateholder, will generally be entitled to direct the related Non-Serviced Trustee to terminate such Non-Serviced Special Servicer, solely with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan(s), and a successor will be appointed in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA.

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the section described above, if the master servicer receives notice of termination solely due to a Servicer Termination Event described in clause (f) or (g) under “—Termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for Cause—Servicer Termination Events” above, and prior to being replaced as described in the third preceding paragraph, the master servicer will have 45 days after receipt of the notice of termination to find, and sell its rights and obligations to, a successor master servicer that meets the requirements of the master servicer under

472 

the PSA; provided that the Rating Agencies have each provided a Rating Agency Confirmation and the Companion Loan Securities Rating Agencies have provided a confirmation (or deemed confirmation) from the applicable rating agencies that such sale will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities. The termination of the master servicer will be effective when such successor master servicer has succeeded the terminated master servicer, as successor master servicer and such successor master servicer has assumed the terminated master servicer’s servicing obligations and responsibilities under the PSA. If a successor has not entered into the PSA as successor master servicer within 45 days after notice of the termination of the master servicer, the master servicer will be replaced by the trustee as described above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the master servicer affects a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or the rating on any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, and if the master servicer is not otherwise terminated, or (2) if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the master servicer affects only a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or the rating on any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, then the master servicer may not be terminated by or at the direction of the related holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or the holders of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, but upon the written direction of the related holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the master servicer will be required to appoint a sub-servicer that will be responsible for servicing the related Serviced Whole Loan.

Further, if replaced as a result of a Servicer Termination Event, the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, will be responsible for the costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties.

Waiver of Servicer Termination Event

The Certificateholders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to certificates affected by any Servicer Termination Event may waive such Servicer Termination Event; provided, however, that a Servicer Termination Event under clause (a), (b) or (f) of the definition of “Servicer Termination Event” may be waived only with the consent of all of the Certificateholders of the affected classes and a Servicer Termination Event under clause (c) of the definition of “Servicer Termination Event” relating to Exchange Act reporting may be waived only with the consent of the depositor. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, such Servicer Termination Event will cease to exist and will be deemed to have been remedied. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event by Certificateholders, the trustee and the certificate administrator will be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement actions taken with respect to such Servicer Termination Event prior to such waiver from the issuing entity.

Resignation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer

The PSA permits the master servicer and the special servicer to resign from their respective obligations only upon (a) the appointment of, and the acceptance of the appointment by, a successor (which may be appointed by the resigning master servicer or special servicer, as applicable) and receipt by the certificate administrator and the trustee of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the

473 

same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation required under the PSA may be considered satisfied with respect to the certificates as described in this prospectus); and, as to the special servicer only, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the approval of such successor by the Directing Certificateholder, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or (b) a determination that their respective obligations are no longer permissible with respect to the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, under applicable law. In the event that the master servicer or special servicer resigns as a result of the determination that their respective obligations are no longer permissible under applicable law, the trustee will then succeed to all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the defaulting party as master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under the PSA and will be entitled to similar compensation arrangements. If the trustee is unwilling or unable to so act, it may appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a mortgage loan servicing institution, subject to the trustee’s receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and, with respect to a successor special servicer, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, which has been approved by the Directing Certificateholder, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld.

No resignation will become effective until the trustee or other successor has assumed the obligations and duties of the resigning master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under the PSA. Further, the resigning master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, must pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties. Other than as described under “—Termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for Cause—Servicer Termination Events” above, in no event will the master servicer or the special servicer have the right to appoint any successor master servicer or special servicer if the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, is terminated or removed pursuant to the PSA. In addition, the PSA will prohibit the appointment of the asset representations reviewer, the operating advisor or one of their respective affiliates as successor to the master servicer or special servicer.

Limitation on Liability; Indemnification

The PSA will provide that none of the master servicer (including in any capacity as the paying agent for any Companion Loan), the special servicer, the depositor, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer or any partner, shareholder, member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of any of them will be under any liability to the issuing entity, Certificateholders or holders of the related Companion Loan, as applicable, for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith pursuant to the PSA or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that none of the master servicer (including in any capacity as the paying agent for any Serviced Companion Loan), the special servicer, the depositor, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer or similar person will be protected against any breach of a representation or warranty made by such party, as applicable, in the PSA or any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of such party’s obligations or duties under the PSA or by reason of negligent disregard of such obligations and duties. For the purposes of indemnification of the master servicer or the special servicer and limitation of liability, the master servicer or special servicer will be deemed not to have engaged in willful misconduct or committed bad faith or negligence in the performance of its respective obligations and duties under the PSA or acted in negligent disregard of such obligations and duties if the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, fails to follow the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents because the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, determines that compliance with any Mortgage Loan documents would or potentially would (i) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a

474 

REMIC, (ii) cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code or (iii) cause a tax to be imposed on the trust or any Trust REMIC under the relevant provisions of the Code (for any such determination in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), the master servicer and special servicer will be entitled to rely on advice of counsel, the cost of which will be reimbursed as an additional trust fund expense). The PSA will also provide that the master servicer, (including in any capacity as the paying agent for any Serviced Companion Loan), the special servicer, the depositor, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer and their respective affiliates and any partner, shareholder, member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of any of them will be entitled to indemnification by the issuing entity against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, costs and expenses of litigation and of enforcement of this indemnity, and of investigation, counsel fees, damages, judgments and amounts paid in settlement) incurred in connection with any actual or threatened legal or administrative action or claim that relates to the PSA, the Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loan, the issuing entity or the certificates; provided, however, that the indemnification will not extend to any loss, liability or expense specifically required to be borne by such party pursuant to the terms the PSA, incurred in connection with any breach of a representation or warranty made by such party, as applicable, in the PSA or incurred by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of such party’s obligations or duties under the PSA, by reason of negligent disregard of such party’s obligations or duties, or in the case of the depositor and any of its partners, shareholders, directors, officers, members, managers, employees and agents, any violation by any of them of any state or federal securities law. In addition, absent actual fraud (as determined by a final non-appealable court order), neither the trustee nor the certificate administrator (including its capacity as custodian) will be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the trustee or the certificate administrator has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

The PSA will also provide that any master servicer, depositor, special servicer, operating advisor (or the equivalent), asset representations reviewer, paying agent, certificate administrator or trustee under any Non-Serviced PSA with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any partner, director, officer, shareholder, member, manager, employee or agent of any of them will be entitled to indemnification by the issuing entity and held harmless against the issuing entity’s pro rata share (subject to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement) of any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with servicing and administration of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property (as and to the same extent the securitization trust formed under the related Non-Serviced PSA is required to indemnify such parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the securitization trust formed under the related Non-Serviced PSA pursuant to the terms of such Non-Serviced PSA).

In addition, the PSA will provide that none of the master servicer (including in any capacity as the paying agent for any Companion Loan), the special servicer, the depositor, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer will be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal or administrative action, proceeding, hearing or examination that is not incidental to its respective responsibilities under the PSA or that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability not recoverable from the issuing entity. However, each of the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer will be permitted, in the exercise of its discretion, to undertake any action, proceeding, hearing or examination that it may deem

475 

necessary or desirable with respect to the enforcement and/or protection of the rights and duties of the parties to the PSA and the interests of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the Certificateholders and the holders of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (as a collective whole), taking into account the pari passu nature of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) under the PSA; provided, however, that if a Serviced Whole Loan and/or the holder of the related Companion Loan are involved, such expenses, costs and liabilities will be payable out of funds related to such Serviced Whole Loan in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and will also be payable out of the other funds in the Collection Account if amounts on deposit with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan are insufficient therefor under the PSA. If any such expenses, costs or liabilities relate to a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, then any subsequent recovery on that Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, will be used to reimburse the issuing entity for any amounts advanced for the payment of such expenses, costs or liabilities. In that event, the legal expenses and costs of the action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting therefrom, will be expenses, costs and liabilities of the issuing entity, and the master servicer (including in its capacity as the paying agent for any Companion Loan), the special servicer, the depositor, the asset representations reviewer or the operating advisor, as the case may be, will be entitled to be reimbursed out of the Collection Account for the expenses.

Pursuant to the PSA, the master servicer and the special servicer will each be required to maintain a fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy or their equivalent with a qualified insurer that provides coverage against losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s misappropriation of funds or errors and omissions, subject to certain limitations as to amount of coverage, deductible amounts, conditions, exclusions and exceptions permitted by the PSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the master servicer and special servicer will be allowed to self-insure with respect to an errors and omissions policy and a fidelity bond so long as certain conditions set forth in the PSA are met.

Any person into which the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, operating advisor, or asset representations reviewer may be merged or consolidated, or any person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer is a party, or any person succeeding to the business of the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer, will be the successor of the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer, as the case may be, under the PSA, subject to certain conditions set forth in the PSA. The master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer may have other normal business relationships with the depositor or the depositor’s affiliates.

The trustee and the certificate administrator make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the PSA (other than as to it being a valid obligation of the trustee and the certificate administrator), the certificates, the Mortgage Loans, this prospectus (other than as to the accuracy of the information provided by the trustee and the certificate administrator as set forth above) or any related documents and will not be accountable for the use or application by the depositor of any of the certificates issued to it or of the proceeds of such certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the depositor in respect of the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the issuing entity, or any funds deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account or any other account by or on behalf of the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer or, in the case of the trustee, the certificate administrator. The PSA provides that no provision of such agreement will be construed to relieve the trustee and the certificate administrator from liability for their own

476 

negligent action, their own negligent failure to act or their own willful misconduct or bad faith.

The PSA provides that neither the trustee nor the certificate administrator, as applicable, will be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer of the trustee or the certificate administrator, unless it is proven that the trustee or the certificate administrator, as applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. In addition, neither the trustee nor the certificate administrator, as applicable, will be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of holders of certificates entitled to greater than 25% of the percentage interest of each affected class, or of the aggregate Voting Rights of the certificates, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee and the certificate administrator, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the trustee and the certificate administrator, under the PSA (unless a higher percentage of Voting Rights is required for such action).

The trustee and the certificate administrator and any director, officer, employee, representative or agent of the trustee and the certificate administrator, will be entitled to indemnification by the issuing entity, to the extent of amounts held in the Collection Account or the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account from time to time, for any loss, liability, damages, claims or unanticipated expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of enforcement and expenses) arising out of or incurred by the trustee or the certificate administrator in connection with their participation in the transaction and any act or omission of the trustee or the certificate administrator relating to the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties of the trustee and the certificate administrator (including in any capacities in which they serve, e.g., paying agent, REMIC administrator, authenticating agent, custodian, certificate registrar and 17g-5 Information Provider) under the PSA. However, the indemnification will not extend to any loss, liability or expense that constitutes a specific liability imposed on the trustee or the certificate administrator pursuant to the PSA, or to any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence on the part of the trustee or the certificate administrator in the performance of their obligations and duties under the PSA, or by reason of their negligent disregard of those obligations or duties, or as may arise from a breach of any representation or warranty of the trustee or the certificate administrator made in the PSA.

The rights and protections afforded to the trustee and the certificate administrator as set forth above and under the PSA will also apply in addition to each other capacity in which it serves under the PSA.

Enforcement of Mortgage Loan Seller’s Obligations Under the MLPA

In the event any party to the PSA receives a request or demand from a Requesting Certificateholder to the effect that a Mortgage Loan should be repurchased or replaced due to a Material Defect, or if such party to the PSA determines that a Mortgage Loan should be repurchased or replaced due to a Material Defect, that party to the PSA will be required to promptly forward such request or demand to the master servicer and the special servicer, and the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, will be required to promptly forward it to the related mortgage loan seller. The Enforcing Servicer will be required to enforce the obligations of the mortgage loan sellers under the MLPAs pursuant to the terms of the PSA and the MLPAs. These obligations include obligations resulting from a Material Defect. Subject to the provisions of the applicable MLPA relating to the dispute resolutions as described under “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements—Dispute Resolution Provisions”, such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution

477 

of claims, if any, will be required to be carried out in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

Within 45 days after receipt of an Asset Review Report with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Enforcing Servicer will be required to determine, based on the Servicing Standard, whether there exists a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If the Enforcing Servicer determines that a Material Defect exists, the Enforcing Servicer will be required to enforce the obligations of the applicable mortgage loan seller under the MLPA with respect to such Material Defect as discussed in the preceding paragraph. See “—The Asset Representations Reviewer—Asset Review” above.

Any costs incurred by the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of a mortgage loan seller under the applicable MLPA will be deemed to be Servicing Advances, to the extent not recovered from the mortgage loan seller or the Requesting Certificateholder. See “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements—Dispute Resolution Provisions”.

Dispute Resolution Provisions

Certificateholder’s Rights When a Repurchase Request Is Initially Delivered by a Certificateholder

In the event an Initial Requesting Certificateholder delivers a written request to a party to the PSA that a Mortgage Loan be repurchased by the applicable mortgage loan seller alleging the existence of a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “Certificateholder Repurchase Request”), the receiving party will be required to promptly forward that Certificateholder Repurchase Request to the master servicer and the special servicer. The Enforcing Servicer will then be required to promptly forward it to the applicable mortgage loan seller and each other party to the PSA. An “Initial Requesting Certificateholder” is the first Certificateholder or Certificate Owner to deliver a Certificateholder Repurchase Request as described above with respect to a Mortgage Loan, and there may not be more than one Initial Requesting Certificateholder with respect to any Mortgage Loan. Subject to the provisions described below under this heading “—Dispute Resolution Provisions”, the Enforcing Servicer will be the Enforcing Party with respect to the Certificateholder Repurchase Request.

The “Enforcing Servicer” will be (a) with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, the special servicer, and (b) with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Loan, (i) in the case of a Repurchase Request made by special servicer, the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, the master servicer, and (ii) in the case of a Repurchase Request made by any person other than the special servicer, the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, (A) prior to the Resolution Failure relating to such non-Specially Serviced Loan, the master servicer, and (B) from and after a Resolution Failure relating to such non-Specially Serviced Loan, the special servicer.

An “Enforcing Party” is the person obligated to, or that elects pursuant to the terms of the PSA to, enforce the rights of the issuing entity against the related mortgage loan seller with respect to a Repurchase Request.

Repurchase Request Delivered by a Party to the PSA

In the event that the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the operating advisor (solely in its capacity as operating advisor) or the Directing Certificateholder for this securitization has knowledge of a Material

478 

Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, that party will be required to deliver prompt written notice of such Material Defect to each other party to the PSA and the applicable mortgage loan seller, identifying the applicable Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “PSA Party Repurchase Request” and, each of a Certificateholder Repurchase Request or a PSA Party Repurchase Request, a “Repurchase Request”), and the Enforcing Servicer will be required to promptly send the PSA Party Repurchase Request to the related mortgage loan seller. The Enforcing Servicer will be required to act as the Enforcing Party and enforce the rights of the issuing entity against the related mortgage loan seller with respect to the PSA Party Repurchase Request. However, if a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to the PSA Party Repurchase Request, the provisions described below under “—Resolution of a Repurchase Request” will apply.

In the event the Repurchase Request is not Resolved within 180 days after the mortgage loan seller receives the Repurchase Request (a “Resolution Failure”), then the provisions described below under “—Resolution of a Repurchase Request” will apply. Receipt of the Repurchase Request will be deemed to occur 2 business days after the Repurchase Request is sent to the related mortgage loan seller. A Resolved Repurchase Request will not preclude the master servicer (in the case of non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the special servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced Loans) from exercising any of their respective rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing otherwise set forth in the PSA, in the related MLPA or as provided by law. “Resolved” means, with respect to a Repurchase Request, (i) that the related Material Defect has been cured, (ii) the related Mortgage Loan has been repurchased in accordance with the related MLPA, (iii) a mortgage loan has been substituted for the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the related MLPA, (iv) the applicable mortgage loan seller makes a Loss of Value Payment, (v) a contractually binding agreement is entered into between the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the issuing entity, and the related mortgage loan seller that settles the related mortgage loan seller’s obligations under the related MLPA or (vi) the related Mortgage Loan is no longer property of the issuing entity as a result of a sale or other disposition in accordance with the PSA.

Resolution of a Repurchase Request

Within 2 business days after a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request made by any person other than the special servicer, the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder relating to a related non-Specially Serviced Loan, the master servicer will be required to send a written notice (a “Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the special servicer, indicating such master servicer’s analysis and recommended course of action with respect to such Repurchase Request. The master servicer will also be required to deliver to the special servicer the servicing file and all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such non-Specially Serviced Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, either in such master servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the such master servicer, and reasonably requested by the special servicer to enable it to assume its duties under the PSA to the extent set forth in the PSA for such non-Specially Serviced Loan. Upon receipt of such Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice and such servicing file and other material, the special servicer will become the Enforcing Servicer with respect to such Repurchase Request.

After a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request regarding a Mortgage Loan (whether the Repurchase Request was initiated by an Initial Requesting Certificateholder, a party to the PSA or the Directing Certificateholder), and, if applicable, after the master servicer sends the Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice (as defined below), the Enforcing Servicer will be required to send a notice (a “Proposed Course

479 

of Action Notice”) to the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, at the address specified in the Initial Requesting Certificateholder’s Repurchase Request, and to the certificate administrator, indicating the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request (a “Proposed Course of Action”). The certificate administrator will be required to make the Proposed Course of Action Notice available to all other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners (by posting such notice on the certificate administrator’s website). The Proposed Course of Action Notice will be required to include (a) a request to Certificateholders to indicate their agreement with or dissent from such Proposed Course of Action, by clearly marking “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action on such notice within 30 days after the date of such notice and a disclaimer that responses received after such 30-day period will not be taken into consideration, (b) a statement that if any Certificateholder disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action, the Enforcing Servicer will be compelled to follow (either as the Enforcing Party or as the Enforcing Servicer in circumstances where a Certificateholder is acting as the Enforcing Party) the course of action agreed to and/or proposed by the majority of the responding Certificateholders that involves referring the matter to mediation or arbitration, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures described below relating to the delivery of Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices and Final Dispute Resolution Election Notices, (c) a statement that the responding Certificateholders will be required to certify their holdings in connection with such response, (d) a statement that only responses clearly marked “agree” or “disagree” with such Proposed Course of Action will be taken into consideration and (e) instructions for the responding Certificateholders to send their responses to the Enforcing Servicer and the certificate administrator.

Within 15 business days after the expiration of the 30-day response period, the certificate administrator will be required to tabulate the responses received from the Certificateholders and share the results with the Enforcing Servicer. The certificate administrator will only count responses timely received and clearly indicating agreement or dissent with the related Proposed Course of Action and additional verbiage or qualifying language will not be taken into consideration for purposes of determining whether the related Certificateholder agrees or disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action. The certificate administrator will be under no obligation to answer any questions from the Certificateholders regarding such Proposed Course of Action. For the avoidance of doubt, the certificate administrator’s obligations in connection with this heading “—Resolution of a Repurchase Request” will be limited solely to tabulating the Certificateholders’ responses of “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action, and such obligation will not be construed to impose any enforcement obligation on the certificate administrator. The Enforcing Servicer may conclusively rely (without investigation) on the certificate administrator’s tabulation of the responses of the responding Certificateholders. If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the related mortgage loan seller with respect to the Repurchase Request and the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner wishes to exercise its right to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, as discussed below under “—Mediation and Arbitration Provisions”, or (b) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further action to exercise rights against the related mortgage loan seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner does not agree with the dispute resolution method selected by the Enforcing Servicer, then the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or such other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within 30 days after the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the certificate administrator’s website (the “Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its

480 

intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration. In the event that (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action indicated a recommendation to undertake mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, (b) any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice and (c) the Enforcing Servicer also received responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners supporting the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action indicating a recommendation to undertake mediation or arbitration, such additional responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners will also be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices supporting such Proposed Course of Action for purposes of determining the course of action approved by the majority of responding Certificateholders.

If neither the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, nor any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice prior to the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner will have the right to refer the Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration, and the Enforcing Servicer, as the Enforcing Party, will be the sole party entitled to determine a course of action, including, but not limited to, enforcing the issuing entity’s rights against the related mortgage loan seller, subject to any consent or consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder.

Promptly and in any event within 10 business days following receipt of a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice from (i) the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or (ii) any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner (each of clauses (i) and (ii), a “Requesting Certificateholder”), the Enforcing Servicer will be required to consult with each Requesting Certificateholder regarding such Requesting Certificateholder’s intention to elect either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration as the dispute resolution method with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Dispute Resolution Consultation”) so that such Requesting Certificateholder may consider the views of the Enforcing Servicer as to the claims underlying the Repurchase Request and possible dispute resolution methods, such discussions to occur and be completed no later than 10 business days following the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date. The Enforcing Servicer will be entitled to establish procedures the Enforcing Servicer deems in good faith to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard relating to the timing and extent of such consultations. No later than 5 business days after completion of the Dispute Resolution Consultation, a Requesting Certificateholder may provide a final notice to the Enforcing Servicer indicating its decision to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration (“Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice”).

If, following the Dispute Resolution Consultation, no Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then the Enforcing Servicer will continue to act as the Enforcing Party and remain obligated under the PSA to determine a course of action, including, but not limited to, enforcing the rights of the issuing entity with respect to the Repurchase Request and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner will have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration.

If a Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then such Requesting Certificateholder will become the Enforcing Party and must promptly submit the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration. If there is more than one Requesting Certificateholder that timely deliver a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice, then such Requesting Certificateholders will collectively become the Enforcing Party, and the holder or holders of a majority of the Voting Rights among such Requesting Certificateholders will be entitled to make all decisions relating to such mediation or arbitration (including whether to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration. If, however, no

481 

Requesting Certificateholder commences arbitration or mediation pursuant to the terms of the PSA within 30 days after delivery of its Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then (i) the rights of a Requesting Certificateholder to act as the Enforcing Party will terminate and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner will have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, (ii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice indicated that the Enforcing Servicer will take no further action with respect to the Repurchase Request, then the related Material Defect will be deemed waived for all purposes under the PSA and related MLPA; provided, however, that such Material Defect will not be deemed waived with respect to a Requesting Certificateholder, any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner or the Enforcing Servicer to the extent there is a material change in the facts and circumstances known to such party at the time when the Proposed Course of Action Notice was delivered to the Enforcing Servicer and (iii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice had indicated a course of action other than the course of action under clause (ii), then the Enforcing Servicer will again become the Enforcing Party and, as such, will be the sole party entitled to enforce the issuing entity’s rights against the related mortgage loan seller.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dispute resolution provisions described under this heading “—Resolution of a Repurchase Request” will not apply, and the Enforcing Servicer will remain the Enforcing Party, if the Enforcing Servicer has commenced litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request, or determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it is in the best interest of Certificateholders to commence litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request to avoid the running of any applicable statute of limitations.

In the event a Requesting Certificateholder becomes the Enforcing Party, the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the issuing entity, will remain a party to any proceedings against the related mortgage loan seller as further described below. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the depositor, the mortgage loan seller(s) with respect to the subject mortgage loan or any of their respective affiliates (other than the special servicer or a Controlling Class Certificateholder) will be entitled to be an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or a Requesting Certificateholder or to act as a Certificateholder for purposes of delivering any Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice or Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice or otherwise to vote Certificates owned by it or such affiliate(s) with respect to a course of action proposed or undertaken pursuant to the procedures described under this “—Dispute Resolution Provisions” heading.

Subject to the other provisions of this section, the Requesting Certificateholder is entitled to elect either mediation or arbitration in its sole discretion; however, the Requesting Certificateholder may not elect to then utilize the alternative method in the event that the initial method is unsuccessful.

Mediation and Arbitration Provisions

If the Enforcing Party elects mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, the mediation or arbitration will be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration or mediation organization selected by the related mortgage loan seller within thirty (30) days of written notice of the Enforcing Party’s selection of mediation or arbitration, as applicable. A single mediator or arbitrator will be selected by the mediation or arbitration organization from a list of neutrals maintained by it according to its mediation or arbitration rules then in effect. The mediator or arbitrator must be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least 15 years of experience in commercial litigation and, if possible, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters.

482 

The expenses of any mediation will be allocated among the parties to the mediation, including, if applicable, between the Enforcing Party and Enforcing Servicer, as mutually agreed by the parties as part of the mediation.

In any arbitration, the arbitrator will be required to resolve the dispute in accordance with the MLPA and PSA, and may not modify or change those agreements in any way or award remedies not consistent with those agreements. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive or consequential damages. In its final determination, the arbitrator will determine and award the costs of the arbitration to the parties to the arbitration in its reasonable discretion. In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the Requesting Certificateholder will be required to pay any expenses allocated to the Enforcing Party in the arbitration proceedings or any expenses that the Enforcing Party agrees to bear in the mediation proceedings.

The final determination of the arbitrator will be final and non-appealable, except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under federal or state law, and may be entered and enforced in any court with jurisdiction over the parties and the matter. By selecting arbitration, the Enforcing Party would be waiving its right to sue in court, including the right to a trial by jury.

In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, will be required under the PSA to contain an acknowledgment that the issuing entity, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, will be a party to any arbitration or mediation proceedings solely for the purpose of being the beneficiary of any award in favor of the Enforcing Party; provided that the degree and extent to which the Enforcing Servicer actively prepares for and participates in such proceeding will be determined by such Enforcing Servicer in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (provided that no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and subject to the time periods for such consultation set forth in the PSA), and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. All amounts recovered by the Enforcing Party will be required to be paid to the issuing entity, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, and deposited in the Collection Account. The agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, will provide that in the event a Requesting Certificateholder is allocated any related costs and expenses pursuant to the terms of the arbitrator’s decision or the agreement reached in mediation, neither the issuing entity nor the Enforcing Servicer acting on its behalf will be responsible for any such costs and expenses allocated to the Requesting Certificateholder.

The issuing entity (or the Enforcing Servicer or the trustee, acting on its behalf), the depositor or any mortgage loan seller will be permitted to redact any personally identifiable customer information included in any information provided for purposes of any mediation or arbitration. Each party to the proceedings will be required to agree to keep confidential the details related to the Repurchase Request and the dispute resolution identified in connection with such proceedings; provided, however, that the Certificateholders will be permitted to communicate prior to the commencement of any such proceedings to the extent described under “Description of the Certificates—Certificateholder Communication”.

For avoidance of doubt, in no event will the exercise of any right of a Requesting Certificateholder to refer a Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration or participation in such mediation or arbitration affect in any manner the ability of the Enforcing Servicer to perform its obligations with respect to a Mortgage Loan (including without limitation, a liquidation, foreclosure, negotiation of a loan modification or workout, acceptance of a discounted pay off or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or bankruptcy or other litigation) or the exercise of any rights of a Directing Certificateholder.

483 

Any out-of-pocket expenses required to be borne by or allocated to the Enforcing Servicer in a mediation or arbitration or related responsibilities under the PSA will be reimbursable as trust fund expenses.

Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans

The master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the trustee under the PSA have no obligation or authority to (a) supervise any related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer, Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator or Non-Serviced Trustee or (b) make servicing advances with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The obligation of the master servicer to provide information and collections and make P&I Advances to the certificate administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and/or collections from the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer.

General

Each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be serviced pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

The servicing terms of each such Non-Serviced PSA as it relates to the servicing of the Non-Serviced Whole Loans will be similar in all material respects to the servicing terms of the PSA applicable to the Serviced Mortgage Loans; however, the servicing arrangements under such agreements will differ in certain respects. For example:

● Each Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be required to service the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to a servicing standard set forth in the related Non-Serviced PSA that is substantially similar to, but may not be identical to, the Servicing Standard.

● The related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or, in certain cases, the related Non-Serviced Trustee, will be obligated to make property protection advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, unless such advances are determined to be nonrecoverable. Any party to the related Non-Serviced PSA that makes a property protection advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be entitled to reimbursement for that advance, with interest at the prime rate, in a manner substantially similar to the reimbursement of Servicing Advances under the PSA. The Trust, as holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, will be responsible for its pro rata share of any such advance reimbursement amounts (including out of general collections on the WFCM 2018-C48 mortgage pool, if necessary).

● Pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA, the liquidation fee, the special servicing fee and the workout fee with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are similar to the corresponding fees payable under the PSA.

● The extent to which modification fees or other fee items with respect to the related Whole Loan may be applied to offset interest on advances, servicer expenses and servicing compensation will, in certain circumstances, be less than is the case under the PSA.

484 

● Items with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan that are the equivalent of assumption application fees, defeasance fees, assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, late payment charges, default interest and/or modification fees and that constitute additional servicing compensation under the related Non-Serviced PSA will not be payable to master servicer or special servicer under the PSA and one or more of such items will be allocated between the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer under the related Non-Serviced PSA in proportions that may be different than the allocation of similar fees under the PSA between the master servicer and special servicer for this transaction.

● The Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder under the related Non-Serviced PSA will have rights substantially similar to the Directing Certificateholder under the PSA with respect to the servicing and administration of the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, including consenting to the substantial equivalent of Major Decisions under such Non-Serviced PSA proposed by the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer and reviewing and consenting to asset status reports prepared by such Non-Serviced Special Servicer in respect of the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. “Major Decisions” under the related Non-Serviced PSA will differ in certain respects from those actions that constitute Major Decisions under the PSA, and therefore the specific types of servicer actions with respect to which the applicable Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder will be permitted to consent will correspondingly differ. The related Non-Serviced PSA also provides for the removal of the Non-Serviced Special Servicer by the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder under such Non-Serviced PSA under certain conditions that are similar to the conditions under which the Directing Certificateholder is permitted to replace the special servicer under the PSA.

● The termination events that will result in the termination of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer are substantially similar to, but not identical to, the Servicer Termination Events under the PSA applicable to the master servicer and special servicer, as applicable.

● Servicing transfer events under the related Non-Serviced PSA that would cause the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan to become specially serviced will be substantially similar to, but not identical to, the corresponding provisions under the PSA.

● The servicing decisions which the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer will perform, and in certain cases for which the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer must obtain the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder’s or Non-Serviced Special Servicer’s consent, differ in certain respects from those decisions that constitute Master Servicer Decisions under the PSA.

● The related Non-Serviced Special Servicer is required to take actions with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan if it becomes the equivalent of a defaulted mortgage loan, which actions are substantially similar, but not necessarily identical, to the actions described under “—Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties”.

● Appraisal reduction amounts in respect of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be calculated by the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer under the

485 

related Non-Serviced PSA in a manner substantially similar to, but not necessarily identical to, calculations of such amounts by the special servicer under the PSA in respect of Serviced Mortgage Loans.

● Other than with regard to the Aventura Mall Mortgage Loan, the requirement of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer to make compensating interest payments in respect of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is similar, but not necessarily identical, to the requirement of the master servicer to make Compensating Interest Payments in respect of the Serviced Mortgage Loans under the PSA (although the portion of the servicing fee to make such payments under the related Non-Serviced PSA may be less).

● The servicing provisions under the related Non-Serviced PSA relating to performing inspections and collecting operating information are substantially similar but not necessarily identical to those of the PSA.

● While the special servicer under the PSA and the Non-Serviced Special Servicer under the related Non-Serviced PSA must each resign as special servicer with respect to a mortgage loan if it becomes affiliated with the related borrower under such mortgage loan, the particular types of affiliations that trigger such resignation obligation, as well as the parties that are entitled to appoint a successor special servicer, may differ as between the PSA and the related Non-Serviced PSA.

● The parties to the related Non-Serviced PSA (and their related directors, officers and other agents) will be entitled to reimbursement and/or indemnification for losses, liabilities, costs and expenses associated with the servicing of the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan under such Non-Serviced PSA to the same extent that parties to the PSA performing similar functions (and their related directors, officers and other agents) are entitled to reimbursement and/or indemnification for losses, liabilities, costs and expenses associated with their obligations under the PSA. The Trust, as holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, will be responsible for its pro rata share of any such indemnification amounts (including out of general collections on the WFCM 2018-C48 mortgage pool, if necessary).

● The matters as to which notice to, or rating agency confirmation from, the rating agencies under the related Non-Serviced PSA are required are similar, but not identical to, matters with respect to which notice to, or Rating Agency Confirmation from, the Rating Agencies under the PSA are required (and such agreements may differ as to whether it is notice or rating agency confirmation that is required and as to whether a notice to, or a confirmation from, the rating agencies under the related Non-Serviced PSA in connection with an action involving the subject Non-Serviced Whole Loan would also be required to be made to or obtained from the Rating Agencies under the PSA).

● With respect to non-specially serviced mortgage loans, the related Non-Serviced PSA may differ with respect to whether the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be responsible for conducting or managing certain litigation related to such mortgage loans.

● Each of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be liable in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA

486 

only to the extent of its obligations specifically imposed by that agreement. Accordingly, in general, each of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will not be liable for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA or for errors in judgment; provided that neither such party will be protected against any breach of representations or warranties made by it in the related Non-Serviced PSA or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties under the related Non-Serviced PSA.

● With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan as to which the related lead securitization that includes the Control Note involves the issuance of “eligible vertical interests” (as defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules), the related Non-Serviced PSA may provide for one or more “risk retention consultation parties” with certain consultation rights.

● The provisions of the related Non-Serviced PSA will also vary from the PSA with respect to one or more of the following: timing, control or consultation triggers or thresholds, terminology, allocation of ministerial duties between multiple servicers or other service providers or certificateholder or investor voting or consent thresholds, master servicer and special servicer termination events, rating requirements for accounts and permitted investments, eligibility requirements applicable to servicers and other service providers, and the circumstances under which approvals, consents, consultation, notices or rating agency confirmations may be required.

● Some of the rating agencies rating the securities issued under the related Non-Serviced PSAs vary from the rating agencies rating the certificates, which may cause servicing arrangements (including, but not limited to, servicer termination events and eligibility requirements for service providers) to be different under the related Non-Serviced PSAs than under the PSA.

The master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the trustee under the PSA have no obligation or authority to (a) supervise any related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer, Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator or Non-Serviced Trustee or (b) make servicing advances with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The obligation of the master servicer to provide information and collections and make P&I Advances to the certificate administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and/or collections from the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer.

Prospective investors are encouraged to review the full provisions of each of the Non-Serviced PSAs, which, if available, can be obtained by requesting copies from the underwriters.

Servicing of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan and the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan

Each of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan and the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan is serviced pursuant to the WFCM 2018-C47 PSA. The servicing terms of the WFCM 2018-C47 PSA are substantially similar to the servicing terms of the PSA applicable to the Mortgage Loans; however, the servicing arrangements under such

487 

agreements will differ in certain respects, including the items set forth above under “—General” (unless otherwise addressed below) and the following:

● The related Non-Serviced Master Servicer earns a servicing fee with respect to each of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan and the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan that is to be calculated at 0.00250% per annum.

● Upon any of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan and the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan becoming a specially serviced loan under the related Non-Serviced PSA, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will earn a special servicing fee payable monthly with respect to the related Mortgage Loan accruing at a rate equal to the greater of (i) 0.25% per annum and (ii) such higher per annum rate as would result in a special servicing fee equal to $3,500 for such month with respect to the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan or the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan, as applicable. Such fee will be payable until such time as the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan or the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan, as applicable, is no longer specially serviced.

● The related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be entitled to a workout fee equal to 1.00% of each payment of principal and interest (other than default interest) made by the related borrower after any workout of either of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan or the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan. The workout fee is subject to a $25,000 minimum.

● The related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be entitled to a liquidation fee equal to 1.00% of net liquidation proceeds received in connection with the liquidation of either of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan or the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan or either related Mortgaged Property. The liquidation fee is subject to a $25,000 minimum.

Prospective investors are encouraged to review the full provisions of the WFCM 2018-C47 PSA by requesting copies from the underwriters.

Servicing of the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan

The Christiana Mall Whole Loan, and any related REO Property, are serviced under the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS TSA. The servicing arrangements under the Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS TSA are generally similar to the servicing arrangements under the PSA; however, the servicing arrangements under such agreements will differ in certain respects, including the items set forth above under “—General” (unless otherwise addressed below) and below. The Christiana Mall Trust 2018-CHRS TSA contains terms and conditions that are customary for securitization transactions involving assets similar to the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan and that are otherwise (i) required by the Code relating to the tax elections of the Trust and the trust funds for the Christiana Mall Companion Loans, (ii) required by law or changes in any law, rule or regulation or (iii) generally required by the rating agencies in connection with the issuance of ratings in securitizations similar to this securitization as well as the securitizations related to Christiana Mall Companion Loans. Such terms include, without limitation:

Rating Agency Confirmations

The PSA will provide that, notwithstanding the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or other provisions of the PSA, if any action under such Mortgage Loan documents or the PSA requires a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “Requesting Party”) attempting and/or required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmations has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within 10 business days of such request being posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then such Requesting Party will be required to confirm (through direct communication and not by posting any confirmation on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website) that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again

494 

(which may be through direct communication). The circumstances described in the preceding sentence are referred to in this prospectus as a “RAC No-Response Scenario”.

If there is no response to either such Rating Agency Confirmation request within 5 business days of such second request in a RAC No-Response Scenario or if such Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (x) with respect to any condition in any Mortgage Loan document requiring such Rating Agency Confirmation, or with respect to any other matter under the PSA relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation will be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) with respect to such Rating Agency, and the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, may then take such action if the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, confirms its original determination (made prior to making such request) that taking the action with respect to which it requested the Rating Agency Confirmation would still be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (y) with respect to a replacement of the master servicer or special servicer, such condition will be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) if (i) the replacement master servicer or replacement special servicer has been appointed and currently serves as the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, on a transaction-level basis on a transaction currently rated by Moody’s that currently has securities outstanding and for which Moody’s has not cited servicing concerns with respect to such replacement as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in a commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if Moody’s is the non-responding Rating Agency, (ii) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer is rated at least “CMS3” (in the case of the master servicer) or “CSS3” (in the case of the special servicer), if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency or (iii) KBRA has not publicly cited servicing concerns with respect to the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by such master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if KBRA is the non-responding Rating Agency. Promptly following the master servicer’s or special servicer’s determination to take any action discussed above following any requirement to obtain Rating Agency Confirmation being deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) as described in clause (x) above, the master servicer or special servicer will be required to provide electronic written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider, who will promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website pursuant to the PSA, of the action taken.

For all other matters or actions not specifically discussed above as to which a Rating Agency Confirmation is required, the applicable Requesting Party will be required to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies. In the event an action otherwise requires a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies, in absence of such Rating Agency Confirmation, we cannot assure you that any Rating Agency will not downgrade, qualify or withdraw its ratings as a result of any such action taken by the master servicer or the special servicer in accordance with the procedures discussed above.

As used above, “Rating Agency Confirmation” means, with respect to any matter, confirmation in writing (which may be in electronic form) by each applicable Rating Agency that a proposed action, failure to act or other event specified in this prospectus will not, in

495 

and of itself, result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current rating assigned to any class of certificates (if then rated by the Rating Agency); provided that a written waiver or acknowledgment from the Rating Agency indicating its decision not to review the matter for which the Rating Agency Confirmation is sought will be deemed to satisfy the requirement for the Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agency with respect to such matter. The “Rating Agencies” mean Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc. (“KBRA”), Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”).

Any Rating Agency Confirmation requests made by the master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator, or the trustee, as applicable, pursuant to the PSA, will be required to be made in writing, which writing must contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and must contain all back-up material necessary for the Rating Agency to process such request. Such written Rating Agency Confirmation requests must be provided in electronic format to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who will be required to post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website in accordance with the PSA).

The master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the trustee will be permitted (but not obligated) to orally communicate with the Rating Agencies regarding any of the Mortgage Loan documents or any matter related to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgaged Properties, the related borrowers or any other matters relating to the PSA or any related Intercreditor Agreement; provided that such party summarizes the information provided to the Rating Agencies in such communication in writing and provides the 17g-5 Information Provider with such written summary the same day such communication takes place; provided, further, that the summary of such oral communications will not identify with which Rating Agency the communication was. The 17g-5 Information Provider will be required to post such written summary on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website in accordance with the provisions of the PSA. All other information required to be delivered to the Rating Agencies pursuant to the PSA or requested by the Rating Agencies, will first be provided in electronic format to the 17g-5 Information Provider, who will be required to post such information to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website in accordance with the PSA. The operating advisor will have no obligation or authority to communicate directly with the Rating Agencies, but may deliver required information to the Rating Agencies to the extent set forth in this prospectus.

The PSA will provide that the PSA may be amended to change the procedures regarding compliance with Rule 17g-5 without any Certificateholder consent; provided that notice of any such amendment must be provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who will post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website) and to the certificate administrator (which will post such report to the certificate administrator’s website).

To the extent required under the PSA, in the event a rating agency confirmation is required by the applicable rating agencies that any action under any Mortgage Loan documents or the PSA will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of any such rating agency’s then-current ratings of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, then such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as described above with respect to any Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency.

Evidence as to Compliance

The master servicer, the special servicer (regardless of whether the special servicer has commenced special servicing of a Mortgage Loan), the custodian, the trustee (provided, however, that the trustee will not be required to deliver an assessment of compliance with

496 

respect to any period during which there was no relevant servicing criteria applicable to it) and the certificate administrator will be required to furnish (and each such party will be required, with respect to each servicing function participant with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to cause (or, in the case of a sub-servicer that is also a servicing function participant that a mortgage loan seller requires the master servicer to retain, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) such servicing function participant to furnish), to the depositor, the certificate administrator, the trustee and the 17g-5 Information Provider, an officer’s certificate of the officer responsible for the servicing activities of such party stating, among other things, that (i) a review of that party’s activities during the preceding calendar year or portion of that year and of performance under the PSA or any sub-servicing agreement in the case of an additional master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on the review, such party has fulfilled all of its obligations under the PSA or the sub-servicing agreement in the case of an additional master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, in all material respects throughout the preceding calendar year or portion of such year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status of the failure.

In addition, the master servicer, the special servicer (regardless of whether the special servicer has commenced special servicing of any Mortgage Loan), the trustee (but only if an advance was made by the trustee in the calendar year), the custodian, the certificate administrator and the operating advisor, each at its own expense, will be required to furnish (and each such party will be required, with respect to each servicing function participant with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to cause (or, in the case of a sub-servicer that is also a servicing function participant that a mortgage loan seller requires the master servicer to retain, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) such servicing function participant to furnish) to the trustee, the certificate administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider and the depositor (and, with respect to the special servicer, also to the operating advisor) a report (an “Assessment of Compliance”) assessing compliance by that party with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB (as described below) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) that contains the following:

● a statement of the party’s responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122 of Regulation AB applicable to it;

● a statement that the party used the criteria in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB to assess compliance with the applicable servicing criteria;

● a statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report (an “Attestation Report”) on the party’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria during and as of the end of the prior fiscal year.

Each party that is required to deliver an Assessment of Compliance will also be required to simultaneously deliver an Attestation Report of a registered public accounting firm, prepared in accordance with the standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the public company accounting oversight board, that expresses an opinion, or states that

497 

an opinion cannot be expressed (and the reasons for this), concerning the party’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB.

With respect to each Non-Serviced Whole Loan, each of the Non-Serviced Master Servicer, the Non-Serviced Special Servicer, the Non-Serviced Trustee and the Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator will have obligations under the related Non-Serviced PSA similar to those described above.

“Regulation AB” means subpart 229.1100 – Asset Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. §§ 229.1100–229.1125, as such may be amended from time to time, and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been provided by the SEC or by the staff of the SEC, or as may be provided by the SEC or its staff from time to time.

Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders to Institute a Proceeding

Other than with respect to any rights to deliver a Certificateholder Repurchase Request and exercise the rights described under “—Dispute Resolution Provisions”, no Certificateholder will have any right under the PSA to institute any proceeding with respect to the PSA or with respect to the certificates, unless the holder previously has given to the trustee and the certificate administrator written notice of default and the continuance of the default and unless (except in the case of a default by the trustee) the holders of certificates of any class evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the class have made written request upon the trustee to institute a proceeding in its own name (as trustee) and have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it, and the trustee for 60 days after receipt of the request and indemnity has neglected or refused to institute the proceeding. However, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by the PSA or the certificates or to institute, conduct or defend any related litigation at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless the Certificateholders have offered to the trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred as a result.

Each Certificateholder will be deemed under the PSA to have expressly covenanted with every other Certificateholder and the trustee, that no one or more Certificateholders will have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of any provision of the PSA or the certificates to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other Certificateholder, or to enforce any right under the PSA or the certificates, except in the manner provided in the PSA or the certificates and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders.

outstanding Certificates (other than the Class V and Class R certificates) and (c) the master servicer consents to the exchange) or (3) the purchase or other liquidation of all of the assets of the issuing entity as described below by the holders of the Controlling Class, the special servicer, the master servicer or the holders of the Class R certificates, in that order of priority. Written notice of termination of the PSA will be given by the certificate administrator to each Certificateholder, each holder of a Serviced Companion Loan and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who will promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website). The final distribution will be made only upon surrender and cancellation of the certificates at the office of the certificate registrar or other location specified in the notice of termination.

The holders of the Controlling Class, the special servicer, the master servicer and the holders of the Class R certificates (in that order) will have the right to purchase all of the assets of the issuing entity. This purchase of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the issuing entity is required to be made at a price equal to (a) the Termination Purchase Amount, plus (b)  the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the master servicer and the special servicer related to such purchase, unless the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, is the purchaser less (c) solely in the case where the master servicer is exercising such purchase right, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees remaining outstanding and payable solely to the master servicer (which items will be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the master servicer in connection with such purchase). This purchase will effect early retirement of the then-outstanding certificates, but the rights of the holders of the Controlling Class, the special servicer, the master servicer or the holders of the Class R certificates to effect the termination is subject to the requirements that the then aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans (solely for the purposes of this calculation, if such right is being exercised after the Distribution Date in January 2029 and the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan is still an asset of the issuing entity, then such Mortgage Loan will be excluded from the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans and from the Initial Pool Balance) be less than 1.0% of the Initial Pool Balance. The voluntary exchange of certificates (other than the Class V and Class R certificates), for the remaining Mortgage Loans is not subject to the above described percentage limits but is limited to each such class of outstanding certificates being held by one Certificateholder (or group of Certificateholders acting unanimously) who must voluntarily participate.

The “Termination Purchase Amount” will equal the sum of (1) the aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of REO Loans) then included in the issuing entity, (2) the Appraised Value of the issuing entity’s portion of each REO Property, if any, then included in the issuing entity (such appraisals in clause (2) to be conducted by an independent MAI-designated appraiser selected by the special servicer and approved by the master servicer and the Controlling Class) (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, with respect to the Controlling Class approval) and (3)  if a Mortgaged Property secures a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and is an “REO property” under the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA, the pro rata portion of the fair market value of the related Mortgaged Property, as determined by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer in accordance with clauses (2) and (3) above.

On the applicable Distribution Date, the aggregate amount paid by the holders of the Controlling Class, the special servicer, the master servicer or the holders of the Class R certificates, as the case may be, for the Mortgage Loans and other applicable assets in the issuing entity, together with all other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and not otherwise payable to a person other than the Certificateholders, will be applied generally as

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the PSA may be made that changes in any manner the obligations or rights of any mortgage loan seller under any MLPA or the rights of any mortgage loan seller, including as a third-party beneficiary, under the PSA, without the consent of such mortgage loan seller. In addition, no amendment to the PSA may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the PSA by the related Intercreditor Agreement or that otherwise materially and adversely affects the holder of a Companion Loan without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan.

Also, notwithstanding the foregoing, no party will be required to consent to any amendment to the PSA without the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the special servicer, the asset representations reviewer and the operating advisor having first received an opinion of counsel (at the issuing entity’s expense) to the effect that the amendment does not conflict with the terms of the PSA, and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the issuing entity or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code.

Resignation and Removal of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator

Each of the trustee and the certificate administrator will at all times be, and will be required to resign if it fails to be, (i) a corporation, national bank, national banking association or a trust company, organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and to accept the trust conferred under the PSA, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and, in the case of the trustee, will not be an affiliate of the master servicer or special servicer (except during any period when the trustee is acting as, or has become successor to, the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be), (ii) an institution insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (iii) an institution whose long-term senior unsecured debt is rated at least “A2” by Moody’s, “A-” by Fitch and, if rated by KBRA,

502 

“A” by KBRA (or in the case of the Trustee, a long term unsecured debt rating of “A(low)” by DBRS if the Master Servicer maintains a rating of at least “A” by KBRA (provided that nothing in this parenthetical shall impose on the Master Servicer any obligation to maintain such rating)); provided that the trustee will not become ineligible to serve based on a failure to satisfy such rating requirements as long as (a) it maintains a long-term unsecured debt rating of no less than “Baa2” by Moody’s and “A-” by Fitch, (b) its short-term debt obligations have a short-term rating of not less than “P-2” from Moody’s and “F1” by Fitch and (c) the master servicer maintains a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “A2” by Moody’s and “A+” by Fitch (provided that nothing in this proviso will impose on the master servicer any obligation to maintain such rating or any other rating), or such other rating with respect to which the Rating Agencies have provided a Rating Agency Confirmation, and (iv) an entity that is not on the depositor’s “prohibited party” list.

The trustee and the certificate administrator will be also permitted at any time to resign from their obligations and duties under the PSA by giving written notice (which notice will be posted to the certificate administrator’s website pursuant to the PSA) to the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee or the certificate administrator, as applicable, all Certificateholders, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who will promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website). Upon receiving this notice of resignation, the depositor will be required to use its reasonable best efforts to promptly appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator acceptable to the master servicer and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder. If no successor trustee or certificate administrator has accepted an appointment within 90 days after the giving of notice of resignation, the resigning trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, and such petition will be an expense of the issuing entity.

If at any time the trustee or certificate administrator ceases to be eligible to continue as trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, under the PSA, and fails to resign after written request therefor by the depositor or the master servicer, or if at any time the trustee or certificate administrator becomes incapable of acting, or if certain events of, or proceedings in respect of, bankruptcy or insolvency occur with respect to the trustee or certificate administrator, or if the trustee or certificate administrator fails to timely publish any report to be delivered, published, or otherwise made available by the certificate administrator pursuant to the PSA, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of 5 days, or if the certificate administrator fails to make distributions required pursuant to the PSA, the depositor will be authorized to remove the trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator acceptable to the master servicer. If no successor trustee or certificate administrator has accepted an appointment within 90 days after the giving of notice of removal, the removed trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, and such petition will be an expense of the issuing entity.

In addition, holders of the certificates entitled to at least 75% of the Voting Rights may upon 30 days prior written notice, with or without cause, remove the trustee or certificate administrator under the PSA and appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator. In the event that holders of the certificates entitled to at least 75% of the Voting Rights elect to remove the trustee or certificate administrator without cause and appoint a successor, the successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, will be responsible for all expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.

503 

Any resignation or removal of the trustee or certificate administrator and appointment of a successor trustee or certificate administrator will not become effective until (i) acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, and (ii) the certificate administrator files any required Form 8-K. Further, the resigning trustee or certificate administrator, as the case may be, must pay all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties.

The PSA will prohibit the appointment of the asset representations reviewer or one of its affiliates as successor to the trustee or certificate administrator.

Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; and Consent to Jurisdiction

The PSA will be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Each party to the PSA will waive its respective right to a jury trial for any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of or related to the PSA or certificates. Additionally, each party to the PSA will consent to the jurisdiction of any New York State and Federal courts sitting in New York City with respect to matters arising out of or related to the PSA.

Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans

The following discussion contains general summaries of certain legal aspects of mortgage loans secured by commercial and multifamily residential properties. Because such legal aspects are governed by applicable local law (which laws may differ substantially), the summaries do not purport to be complete, to reflect the laws of any particular jurisdiction, or to encompass the laws of all jurisdictions in which the security for the mortgage loans is situated.

Georgia

Real property loans in Georgia are customarily secured by deeds to secure debt and are generally foreclosed pursuant to a private, non-judicial sale under the power of sale remedy, which must be contained in the deed to secure debt. Judicial foreclosure is also an available, but rarely exercised, remedy. In the power of sale foreclosure, the lender must provide notice of the sale by advertisement in a newspaper in which sheriff’s notices of sale are published in the county in which the property is located once a week for four (4) consecutive weeks immediately preceding the date of sale. The advertisement must contain certain information, including a description of the property and the instrument pursuant to which the sale is being conducted, and the name, address, and telephone number of the individual or entity who shall have full authority to negotiate, amend, and modify all terms of the mortgage with the debtor (provided that the lender is under no obligation to negotiate, amend or modify the terms of the deed to secure debt). A copy of the notice of sale to the public must be given to the debtor not less than (30) days prior to the date of the proposed foreclosure sale. If the loan has been assigned, the assignment vesting title to the deed to secure debt must be filed for record prior to the time of the sale. The foreclosure sale is conducted by the lender or its representatives, must occur between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on the first Tuesday of a month (except, if the first Tuesday of a month falls on New Year’s Day or Independence Day, then the sale must be conducted on the immediately following Wednesday) and is held on the courthouse steps of the court in the county in which the property is located. At the sale the property is sold to the highest bidder, and the lender may “credit bid” the amount of its debt at the sale, so long as the loan documents permit the lender to bid at the sale. The debtor’s right of redemption is extinguished by the power of the sale foreclosure. In order to obtain a deficiency judgment for a recourse loan, the lender must first report the foreclosure sale to a judge of the Superior Court of the county in which the property is located within thirty

504 

(30) days after the date of sale. The judge will then conduct a “confirmation hearing,” notice of which must be served at least five (5) days prior to the hearing on all obligors. The purpose of the confirmation hearing is to prove that (a) the real property sold for its “true market value” (which has been interpreted to mean “fair market value”) and (b) the foreclosure sale was conducted in accordance with law. The judge may (a) confirm the sale (in which case the creditor may pursue the deficiency claim in a separate action against the obligors), (b) set the sale aside (in which case the parties are returned to their respective positions immediately prior to the sale and a new foreclosure sale must be conducted) or (c) deny confirmation of the sale and refuse to permit a resale (in which case the sale stands as completed but the creditor may not pursue a deficiency claim against the obligors). Georgia has no “one action” rule or statute.

Tennessee

Mortgage loans in Tennessee are secured by deeds of trust. Legal title to real property encumbered by a deed of trust is vested in the property owner while equitable title is vested in a trustee, who, with certain exceptions, must be a Tennessee resident. Under Tennessee law, deeds of trust are usually foreclosed pursuant to a power of sale set forth in the instrument and governed by statute. Judicial foreclosures, while extremely rare, are also available. Non-judicial foreclosures can be conducted from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on the day set forth in the notice of sale and must be advertised in a newspaper of general circulation by at least three (3) notices one (1) week apart in the twenty (20) days preceding the date of sale. The minimum required contents of the notice of sale are provided by statute, and the sale is conducted by a trustee or his successor if a successor trustee has been duly appointed and that appointment has been recorded in the county where the property lies. Sales may be conducted by the trustee’s agent and the trustee does not need to be physically present at the sale so long as he is otherwise available to execute the trustee’s deed. A non-waivable equitable right of redemption exists, and the mortgage indebtedness can be paid at any time before the foreclosure sale is conducted. A two year statutory right of redemption exists in Tennessee after a foreclosure sale. The statutory right of redemption is waivable in the deed of trust. Notice of default and an opportunity to cure must be given in a commercial loan only if required by the deed of trust. Ad valorem real property taxes and municipal and country assessments have statutory priority over previously recorded deeds of trust. Under applicable law, a foreclosure sale will terminate the lien of junior encumbrances unless those liens are preserved in the notice of sale. A copy of the notice of foreclosure sale must be given to all interested parties, including the debtor and junior lien holders before the date of first publication of the notice of foreclosure and by listing their names in the notice of foreclosure. Judgment against the borrower can be rendered for the entire debt in lieu of foreclosure, and deficiency judgments can be obtained after a foreclosure sale, unless the instrument secured by the deed of trust is without recourse. There is a rebuttable presumption that the sale price is equal to the fair market value of the foreclosed property. Deeds in lieu of foreclosure are recognized in Tennessee.

Florida

Mortgage loans involving real property in Florida are secured by mortgages, and foreclosures are accomplished by judicial foreclosure. There is no power of sale in Florida. After an action for foreclosure is commenced and the lender secures a final judgment, such judgment will provide that the property be sold at a public sale at the courthouse (or on-line depending on the county) if the full amount of the judgment is not paid prior to the scheduled sale. Fla Statute 45.031 requires that foreclosure sale be held no earlier than 20 (but not more than 35) days after the judgment is entered. However, given the backlog of

505 

foreclosure cases in many counties, it is not unusual for foreclosure sales to be held later than the 35 day period specified in the statute. After the foreclosure judgment is entered and prior to the foreclosure sale, a notice of sale must be published once a week for two (2) consecutive weeks in the county in which the property is located. There is no right of redemption after the filing of the clerk’s certificate at the conclusion of the foreclosure sale. However, a certificate of title transferring title to the foreclosed property is not issued until 10 days after the foreclosure sale, and challenges to the foreclosure sale are permitted within that 10-day period. Florida does not have a “one action rule” or “anti-deficiency legislation,” and deficiency judgments are permitted to the extent not prohibited by the applicable loan documents. Subsequent to a foreclosure sale, however, a lender is generally required to prove the value of the property as of the date of foreclosure sale in order to recover a deficiency. Further, Florida law limits any deficiency judgment (if otherwise permitted) against a borrower following a judicial sale to the excess of the final judgment amount (which generally equals the amount of outstanding debt plus attorneys’ fees and other collection costs) over the fair market value of the property at the time of the judicial sale. In limited circumstances, the lender may have a receiver appointed during the pendency of the foreclosure action.

General

Each mortgage loan will be evidenced by a promissory note and secured by an instrument granting a security interest in real property, which may be a mortgage, deed of trust or a deed to secure debt, depending upon the prevailing practice and law in the state in which the related mortgaged property is located. Mortgages, deeds of trust and deeds to secure debt are in this prospectus collectively referred to as “mortgages”. A mortgage creates a lien upon, or grants a title interest in, the real property covered thereby, and represents the security for the repayment of the indebtedness customarily evidenced by a promissory note. The priority of the lien created or interest granted will depend on the terms of the mortgage and, in some cases, on the terms of separate subordination agreements or intercreditor agreements with others that hold interests in the real property, the knowledge of the parties to the mortgage and, generally, the order of recordation of the mortgage in the appropriate public recording office. However, the lien of a recorded mortgage will generally be subordinate to later-arising liens for real estate taxes and assessments and other charges imposed under governmental police powers.

Types of Mortgage Instruments

There are two parties to a mortgage: a mortgagor (the borrower and usually the owner of the applicable property) and a mortgagee (the lender). In contrast, a deed of trust is a three-party instrument, among a trustor (the equivalent of a borrower), a trustee to whom the real property is conveyed, and a beneficiary (the lender) for whose benefit the conveyance is made. Under a deed of trust, the trustor grants the property, irrevocably until the debt is paid, in trust and generally with a power of sale, to the trustee to secure repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the related note. A deed to secure debt typically has two parties, pursuant to which the borrower, or grantor, conveys title to the real property to the grantee, or lender generally with a power of sale, until such time as the debt is repaid. In a case where the borrower is a land trust, there would be an additional party because legal title to the property is held by a land trustee under a land trust agreement for the benefit of the borrower. At origination of a mortgage loan involving a land trust, the borrower may execute a separate undertaking to make payments on the promissory note. The land trustee would not be personally liable for the promissory note obligation. The mortgagee’s authority under a mortgage, the trustee’s authority under a deed of trust and the grantee’s authority under a deed to secure debt are governed by the express provisions of the related instrument, the law of the state in which the real property

506 

is located, certain federal laws and, in some deed of trust transactions, the directions of the beneficiary.

Leases and Rents

Mortgages that encumber income-producing property often contain an assignment of rents and leases, and/or may be accompanied by a separate assignment of rents and leases, pursuant to which the borrower assigns to the lender the borrower’s right, title and interest as landlord under each lease and the income derived from the lease, while (unless rents are to be paid directly to the lender) retaining a revocable license to collect the rents for so long as there is no default. If the borrower defaults, the license terminates and the lender is entitled to collect the rents. Local law may require that the lender take possession of the property and/or obtain a court-appointed receiver before becoming entitled to collect the rents.

In most states, hotel property and motel room rates are considered accounts receivable under the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”). In cases where hotel properties or motels constitute loan security, the revenues are generally pledged by the borrower as additional security for the loan. In general, the lender must file financing statements in order to perfect its security interest in the room revenues and must file continuation statements, generally every 5 years, to maintain perfection of such security interest. In certain cases, mortgage loans secured by hotel properties or motels may be included in the issuing entity even if the security interest in the room revenues was not perfected. Even if the lender’s security interest in room revenues is perfected under applicable nonbankruptcy law, it will generally be required to commence a foreclosure action or otherwise take possession of the property in order to enforce its rights to collect the room revenues following a default. In the bankruptcy setting, however, the lender will be stayed from enforcing its rights to collect room revenues, but those room revenues constitute “cash collateral” and therefore generally cannot be used by the bankruptcy debtor without a hearing or lender’s consent or unless the lender’s interest in the room revenues is given adequate protection (e.g., cash payment for otherwise encumbered funds or a replacement lien on unencumbered property, in either case in value equivalent to the amount of room revenues that the debtor proposes to use, or other similar relief). See “—Foreclosure—Bankruptcy Laws” below.

Personalty

In the case of certain types of mortgaged properties, such as hotel properties, motels, nursing homes and manufactured housing, personal property (to the extent owned by the borrower and not previously pledged) may constitute a significant portion of the property’s value as security. The creation and enforcement of liens on personal property are governed by the UCC. Accordingly, if a borrower pledges personal property as security for a mortgage loan, the lender generally must file UCC financing statements in order to perfect its security interest in that personal property, and must file continuation statements, generally every five years, to maintain that perfection. Certain mortgage loans secured in part by personal property may be included in the issuing entity even if the security interest in such personal property was not perfected.

Foreclosure

General

Foreclosure is a legal procedure that allows the lender to recover its mortgage debt by enforcing its rights and available legal remedies under the mortgage. If the borrower defaults in payment or performance of its obligations under the promissory note or

507 

mortgage, the lender has the right to institute foreclosure proceedings to sell the real property at public auction to satisfy the indebtedness.

Foreclosure Procedures Vary from State to State

Two primary methods of foreclosing a mortgage are judicial foreclosure, involving court proceedings, and nonjudicial foreclosure pursuant to a power of sale granted in the mortgage instrument. Other foreclosure procedures are available in some states, but they are either infrequently used or available only in limited circumstances.

A foreclosure action is subject to most of the delays and expenses of other lawsuits if defenses are raised or counterclaims are interposed, and sometimes requires several years to complete.

See also “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Associated with One Action Rules”.

Judicial Foreclosure

A judicial foreclosure proceeding is conducted in a court having jurisdiction over the mortgaged property. Generally, the action is initiated by the service of legal pleadings upon all parties having a subordinate interest of record in the real property and all parties in possession of the property, under leases or otherwise, whose interests are subordinate to the mortgage. Delays in completion of the foreclosure may occasionally result from difficulties in locating defendants. When the lender’s right to foreclose is contested, the legal proceedings can be time-consuming. Upon successful completion of a judicial foreclosure proceeding, the court generally issues a judgment of foreclosure and appoints a referee or other officer to conduct a public sale of the mortgaged property, the proceeds of which are used to satisfy the judgment. Such sales are made in accordance with procedures that vary from state to state.

Equitable and Other Limitations on Enforceability of Certain Provisions

United States courts have traditionally imposed general equitable principles to limit the remedies available to lenders in foreclosure actions. These principles are generally designed to relieve borrowers from the effects of mortgage defaults perceived as harsh or unfair. Relying on such principles, a court may alter the specific terms of a loan to the extent it considers necessary to prevent or remedy an injustice, undue oppression or overreaching, or may require the lender to undertake affirmative actions to determine the cause of the borrower’s default and the likelihood that the borrower will be able to reinstate the loan. In some cases, courts have substituted their judgment for the lender’s and have required that lenders reinstate loans or recast payment schedules in order to accommodate borrowers who are suffering from a temporary financial disability. In other cases, courts have limited the right of the lender to foreclose in the case of a nonmonetary default, such as a failure to adequately maintain the mortgaged property or an impermissible further encumbrance of the mortgaged property. Finally, some courts have addressed the issue of whether federal or state constitutional provisions reflecting due process concerns for adequate notice require that a borrower receive notice in addition to statutorily-prescribed minimum notice. For the most part, these cases have upheld the reasonableness of the notice provisions or have found that a public sale under a mortgage providing for a power of sale does not involve sufficient state action to trigger constitutional protections.

508 

In addition, some states may have statutory protection such as the right of the borrower to reinstate a mortgage loan after commencement of foreclosure proceedings but prior to a foreclosure sale.

Nonjudicial Foreclosure/Power of Sale

In states permitting nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings, foreclosure of a deed of trust is generally accomplished by a nonjudicial trustee’s sale pursuant to a power of sale typically granted in the deed of trust. A power of sale may also be contained in any other type of mortgage instrument if applicable law so permits. A power of sale under a deed of trust allows a nonjudicial public sale to be conducted generally following a request from the beneficiary/lender to the trustee to sell the property upon default by the borrower and after notice of sale is given in accordance with the terms of the deed of trust and applicable state law. In some states, prior to such sale, the trustee under the deed of trust must record a notice of default and notice of sale and send a copy to the borrower and to any other party who has recorded a request for a copy of a notice of default and notice of sale. In addition, in some states the trustee must provide notice to any other party having an interest of record in the real property, including junior lienholders. A notice of sale must be posted in a public place and, in most states, published for a specified period of time in one or more newspapers. The borrower or junior lienholder may then have the right, during a reinstatement period required in some states, to cure the default by paying the entire actual amount in arrears (without regard to the acceleration of the indebtedness), plus the lender’s expenses incurred in enforcing the obligation. In other states, the borrower or the junior lienholder is not provided a period to reinstate the loan, but has only the right to pay off the entire debt to prevent the foreclosure sale. Generally, state law governs the procedure for public sale, the parties entitled to notice, the method of giving notice and the applicable time periods.

Public Sale

A third party may be unwilling to purchase a mortgaged property at a public sale because of the difficulty in determining the exact status of title to the property (due to, among other things, redemption rights that may exist) and because of the possibility that physical deterioration of the mortgaged property may have occurred during the foreclosure proceedings. Potential buyers may also be reluctant to purchase mortgaged property at a foreclosure sale as a result of the 1980 decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Durrett v. Washington National Insurance Co., 621 F.2d 2001 (5th Cir. 1980) and other decisions that have followed its reasoning. The court in Durrett held that even a non-collusive, regularly conducted foreclosure sale was a fraudulent transfer under the Bankruptcy Code and, thus, could be rescinded in favor of the bankrupt’s estate, if (1) the foreclosure sale was held while the debtor was insolvent and not more than one year prior to the filing of the bankruptcy petition and (2) the price paid for the foreclosed property did not represent “fair consideration”, which is “reasonably equivalent value” under the Bankruptcy Code. Although the reasoning and result of Durrett in respect of the Bankruptcy Code was rejected by the United States Supreme Court in BFP v. Resolution Trust Corp., 511 U.S. 531 (1994), the case could nonetheless be persuasive to a court applying a state fraudulent conveyance law which has provisions similar to those construed in Durrett. Therefore, it is common for the lender to purchase the mortgaged property for an amount equal to the secured indebtedness and accrued and unpaid interest plus the expenses of foreclosure, in which event the borrower’s debt will be extinguished, or for a lesser amount in order to preserve its right to seek a deficiency judgment if such is available under state law and under the terms of the mortgage loan documents. Thereafter, subject to the borrower’s right in some states to remain in possession during a redemption period, the lender will become the owner of the property and have both the benefits and burdens of

509 

ownership, including the obligation to pay debt service on any senior mortgages, to pay taxes, to obtain casualty insurance and to make such repairs as are necessary to render the property suitable for sale. Frequently, the lender employs a third-party management company to manage and operate the property. The costs of operating and maintaining a property may be significant and may be greater than the income derived from that property. The costs of management and operation of those mortgaged properties which are hotels, motels, restaurants, nursing or convalescent homes, hospitals or casinos may be particularly significant because of the expertise, knowledge and, with respect to certain property types, regulatory compliance, required to run those operations and the effect which foreclosure and a change in ownership may have on the public’s and the industry’s, including franchisors’, perception of the quality of those operations. The lender also will commonly obtain the services of a real estate broker and pay the broker’s commission in connection with the sale or lease of the property. Depending upon market conditions, the ultimate proceeds of the sale of a property may not equal the lender’s investment in the property. Moreover, a lender commonly incurs substantial legal fees and court costs in acquiring a mortgaged property through contested foreclosure and/or bankruptcy proceedings. Because of the expenses associated with acquiring, owning and selling a mortgaged property, a lender could realize an overall loss on a mortgage loan even if the mortgaged property is sold at foreclosure, or resold after it is acquired through foreclosure, for an amount equal to the full outstanding principal amount of the loan plus accrued interest.

Furthermore, an increasing number of states require that any environmental contamination at certain types of properties be cleaned up before a property may be resold. In addition, a lender may be responsible under federal or state law for the cost of cleaning up a mortgaged property that is environmentally contaminated. See “—Environmental Considerations” below.

The holder of a junior mortgage that forecloses on a mortgaged property does so subject to senior mortgages and any other prior liens, and may be obliged to keep senior mortgage loans current in order to avoid foreclosure of its interest in the property. In addition, if the foreclosure of a junior mortgage triggers the enforcement of a “due-on-sale” clause contained in a senior mortgage, the junior mortgagee could be required to pay the full amount of the senior mortgage indebtedness or face foreclosure.

Rights of Redemption

The purposes of a foreclosure action are to enable the lender to realize upon its security and to bar the borrower, and all persons who have interests in the property that are subordinate to that of the foreclosing lender, from exercise of their “equity of redemption”. The doctrine of equity of redemption provides that, until the property encumbered by a mortgage has been sold in accordance with a properly conducted foreclosure and foreclosure sale, those having interests that are subordinate to that of the foreclosing lender have an equity of redemption and may redeem the property by paying the entire debt with interest. Those having an equity of redemption must generally be made parties and joined in the foreclosure proceeding in order for their equity of redemption to be terminated.

The equity of redemption is a common-law (nonstatutory) right which should be distinguished from post-sale statutory rights of redemption. In some states, after sale pursuant to a deed of trust or foreclosure of a mortgage, the borrower and foreclosed junior lienors are given a statutory period in which to redeem the property. In some states, statutory redemption may occur only upon payment of the foreclosure sale price. In other states, redemption may be permitted if the former borrower pays only a portion of the sums due. The effect of a statutory right of redemption is to diminish the ability of the lender to

510 

sell the foreclosed property because the exercise of a right of redemption would defeat the title of any purchaser through a foreclosure. Consequently, the practical effect of the redemption right is to force the lender to maintain the property and pay the expenses of ownership until the redemption period has expired. In some states, a post-sale statutory right of redemption may exist following a judicial foreclosure, but not following a trustee’s sale under a deed of trust.

Anti-Deficiency Legislation

Some or all of the mortgage loans are nonrecourse loans, as to which recourse in the case of default will be limited to the mortgaged property and such other assets, if any, that were pledged to secure the mortgage loan. However, even if a mortgage loan by its terms provides for recourse to the borrower’s other assets, a lender’s ability to realize upon those assets may be limited by state law. For example, in some states a lender cannot obtain a deficiency judgment against the borrower following foreclosure or sale under a deed of trust.

A deficiency judgment is a personal judgment against the former borrower equal to the difference between the net amount realized upon the public sale of the real property and the amount due to the lender. Other statutes may require the lender to exhaust the security afforded under a mortgage before bringing a personal action against the borrower. In certain other states, the lender has the option of bringing a personal action against the borrower on the debt without first exhausting that security; however, in some of those states, the lender, following judgment on that personal action, may be deemed to have elected a remedy and thus may be precluded from foreclosing upon the security. Consequently, lenders in those states where such an election of remedy provision exists will usually proceed first against the security. Finally, other statutory provisions, designed to protect borrowers from exposure to large deficiency judgments that might result from bidding at below-market values at the foreclosure sale, limit any deficiency judgment to the excess of the outstanding debt over the fair market value of the property at the time of the sale.

Leasehold Considerations

Mortgage loans may be secured by a mortgage on the borrower’s leasehold interest in a ground lease. Leasehold mortgage loans are subject to certain risks not associated with mortgage loans secured by a lien on the fee estate of the borrower. The most significant of these risks is that if the borrower’s leasehold were to be terminated upon a lease default, the leasehold mortgagee would lose its security. This risk may be lessened if the ground lease requires the lessor to give the leasehold mortgagee notices of lessee defaults and an opportunity to cure them, permits the leasehold estate to be assigned to and by the leasehold mortgagee or the purchaser at a foreclosure sale, and contains certain other protective provisions typically included in a “mortgageable” ground lease. Certain mortgage loans, however, may be secured by ground leases which do not contain these provisions.

In addition, where a lender has as its security both the fee and leasehold interest in the same property, the grant of a mortgage lien on its fee interest by the land owner/ground lessor to secure the debt of a borrower/ground lessee may be subject to challenge as a fraudulent conveyance. Among other things, a legal challenge to the granting of the liens may focus on the benefits realized by the land owner/ground lessor from the loan. If a court concluded that the granting of the mortgage lien was an avoidable fraudulent conveyance, it might take actions detrimental to the holders of the offered certificates, including, under certain circumstances, invalidating the mortgage lien on the fee interest of the land owner/ground lessor.

511 

Cooperative Shares

Mortgage loans may be secured by a security interest on the borrower’s ownership interest in shares, and the related proprietary leases, allocable to cooperative dwelling units that may be vacant or occupied by non-owner tenants. Such loans are subject to certain risks not associated with mortgage loans secured by a lien on the fee estate of a borrower in real property. Such a loan typically is subordinate to the mortgage, if any, on the cooperative’s building which, if foreclosed, could extinguish the equity in the building and the proprietary leases of the dwelling units derived from ownership of the shares of the cooperative. Further, transfer of shares in a cooperative are subject to various regulations as well as to restrictions under the governing documents of the cooperative, and the shares may be cancelled in the event that associated maintenance charges due under the related proprietary leases are not paid. Typically, a recognition agreement between the lender and the cooperative provides, among other things, the lender with an opportunity to cure a default under a proprietary lease.

Under the laws applicable in many states, “foreclosure” on cooperative shares is accomplished by a sale in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 of the UCC and the security agreement relating to the shares. Article 9 of the UCC requires that a sale be conducted in a “commercially reasonable” manner, which may be dependent upon, among other things, the notice given the debtor and the method, manner, time, place and terms of the sale. Article 9 of the UCC provides that the proceeds of the sale will be applied first to pay the costs and expenses of the sale and then to satisfy the indebtedness secured by the lender’s security interest. A recognition agreement, however, generally provides that the lender’s right to reimbursement is subject to the right of the cooperative to receive sums due under the proprietary leases.

Bankruptcy Laws

Operation of the federal Bankruptcy Code in Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended from time to time (“Bankruptcy Code”) and related state laws may interfere with or affect the ability of a lender to obtain payment of a loan, realize upon collateral and/or to enforce a deficiency judgment. For example, under the Bankruptcy Code, virtually all actions (including foreclosure actions and deficiency judgment proceedings) are automatically stayed upon the filing of the bankruptcy petition, and, usually, no interest or principal payments are made during the course of the bankruptcy case. The delay and the consequences of a delay caused by an automatic stay can be significant. For example, the filing of a petition in bankruptcy by or on behalf of a junior mortgage lien holder may stay the senior lender from taking action to foreclose out such junior lien. At a minimum, the senior lender would suffer delay due to its need to seek bankruptcy court approval before taking any foreclosure or other action that could be deemed in violation of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code.

Under the Bankruptcy Code, a bankruptcy trustee, or a borrower as debtor-in-possession, may under certain circumstances sell the related mortgaged property or other collateral free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and interests, which liens would then attach to the proceeds of such sale, despite the provisions of the related mortgage or other security agreement to the contrary. Such a sale may be approved by a bankruptcy court even if the proceeds are insufficient to pay the secured debt in full.

Under the Bankruptcy Code, provided certain substantive and procedural safeguards for a lender are met, the amount and terms of a mortgage or other security agreement secured by property of a debtor may be modified under certain circumstances. Pursuant to a confirmed plan of reorganization, lien avoidance or claim objection proceeding, the secured

512 

claim arising from a loan secured by real property or other collateral may be reduced to the then-current value of the property (with a corresponding partial reduction of the amount of lender’s security interest), thus leaving the lender a secured creditor to the extent of the then-current value of the property and a general unsecured creditor for the difference between such value and the outstanding balance of the loan. Such general unsecured claims may be paid less than 100% of the amount of the debt or not at all, depending upon the circumstances. Other modifications may include the reduction in the amount of each scheduled payment, which reduction may result from a reduction in the rate of interest and/or the alteration of the repayment schedule (with or without affecting the unpaid principal balance of the loan), and/or an extension (or reduction) of the final maturity date. Some courts have approved bankruptcy plans, based on the particular facts of the reorganization case, that effected the curing of a mortgage loan default by paying arrearages over a number of years. Also, under the Bankruptcy Code, a bankruptcy court may permit a debtor through its plan of reorganization to reinstate the loan even though the lender accelerated the mortgage loan and final judgment of foreclosure had been entered in state court (provided that no sale of the property had yet occurred) prior to the filing of the debtor’s petition. This may be done even if the plan of reorganization does not provide for payment of the full amount due under the original loan. Thus, the full amount due under the original loan may never be repaid. Other types of significant modifications to the terms of mortgage loan may be acceptable to the bankruptcy court, such as making distributions to the mortgage holder of property other than cash, or the substitution of collateral which is the “indubitable equivalent” of the real property subject to the mortgage, or the subordination of the mortgage to liens securing new debt (provided that the lender’s secured claim is “adequately protected” as such term is defined and interpreted under the Bankruptcy Code), often depending on the particular facts and circumstances of the specific case.

Federal bankruptcy law may also interfere with or otherwise adversely affect the ability of a secured mortgage lender to enforce an assignment by a borrower of rents and leases (which “rents” may include revenues from hotels and other lodging facilities specified in the Bankruptcy Code) related to a mortgaged property if the related borrower is in a bankruptcy proceeding. Under the Bankruptcy Code, a lender may be stayed from enforcing the assignment, and the legal proceedings necessary to resolve the issue can be time consuming and may result in significant delays in the receipt of the rents. Rents (including applicable hotel and other lodging revenues) and leases may also escape such an assignment, among other things, (i) if the assignment is not fully perfected under state law prior to commencement of the bankruptcy proceeding, (ii) to the extent such rents and leases are used by the borrower to maintain the mortgaged property, or for other court authorized expenses, (iii) to the extent other collateral may be substituted for the rents and leases, (iv) to the extent the bankruptcy court determines that the lender is adequately protected, or (v) to the extent the court determines based on the equities of the case that the post-petition rents are not subject to the lender’s pre-petition security interest.

Under the Bankruptcy Code, a security interest in real property acquired before the commencement of the bankruptcy case does not extend to income received after the commencement of the bankruptcy case unless such income is a proceed, product or rent of such property. Therefore, to the extent a business conducted on the mortgaged property creates accounts receivable rather than rents or results from payments under a license rather than payments under a lease, a valid and perfected pre-bankruptcy lien on such accounts receivable or license income generally would not continue as to post-bankruptcy accounts receivable or license income.

513 

The Bankruptcy Code provides that a lender’s perfected pre-petition security interest in leases, rents and hotel revenues continues in the post-petition leases, rents and hotel revenues, unless a bankruptcy court orders to the contrary “based on the equities of the case”. The equities of a particular case may permit the discontinuance of security interests in pre-petition leases and rents. Thus, unless a court orders otherwise, revenues from a mortgaged property generated after the date the bankruptcy petition is filed will constitute “cash collateral” under the Bankruptcy Code. Debtors may only use cash collateral upon obtaining the lender’s consent or a prior court order finding that the lender’s interest in the mortgaged hotel, motel or other lodging property and the cash collateral is “adequately protected” as the term is defined and interpreted under the Bankruptcy Code. In addition to post-petition rents, any cash held by a lender in a lockbox or reserve account generally would also constitute “cash collateral” under the Bankruptcy Code. So long as the lender is adequately protected, a debtor’s use of cash collateral may be for its own benefit or for the benefit of any affiliated entity group that is also subject to bankruptcy proceedings, including use as collateral for new debt. It should be noted, however, that the court may find that the lender has no security interest in either pre-petition or post-petition revenues if the court finds that the loan documents do not contain language covering accounts, room rents, or other forms of personalty necessary for a security interest to attach to such revenues.

The Bankruptcy Code provides generally that rights and obligations under an unexpired lease of the debtor/lessee may not be terminated or modified at any time after the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code solely because of a provision in the lease to that effect or because of certain other similar events. This prohibition on so-called “ipso facto” clauses could limit the ability of a lender to exercise certain contractual remedies with respect to the leases on any mortgaged property. In addition, section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code operates as an automatic stay of, among other things, any act to obtain possession of property from a debtor’s estate, which may delay a lender’s exercise of those remedies, including foreclosure, in the event that a lessee becomes the subject of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, the filing of a petition in bankruptcy by or on behalf of a lessee of a mortgaged property would result in a stay against the commencement or continuation of any state court proceeding for past due rent, for accelerated rent, for damages or for a summary eviction order with respect to a default under the related lease that occurred prior to the filing of the lessee’s petition. While relief from the automatic stay to enforce remedies may be requested, it can be denied for a number of reasons, including where the collateral is “necessary to an effective reorganization” for the debtor, and if a debtor’s case has been administratively consolidated with those of its affiliates, the court may also consider whether the property is “necessary to an effective reorganization” of the debtor and its affiliates, taken as a whole.

The Bankruptcy Code generally provides that a trustee in bankruptcy or debtor-in-possession may, with respect to an unexpired lease of non-residential real property, before the earlier of (i) 120 days after the filing of a bankruptcy case or (ii) the entry of an order confirming a plan, subject to approval of the court, (a) assume the lease and retain it or assign it to a third party or (b) reject the lease. If the trustee or debtor-in-possession fails to assume or reject the lease within the time specified in the preceding sentence, subject to any extensions by the bankruptcy court, the lease will be deemed rejected and the property will be surrendered to the lessor. The bankruptcy court may for cause shown extend the 120-day period up to 90 days for a total of 210 days. If the lease is assumed, the trustee in bankruptcy on behalf of the lessee, or the lessee as debtor-in-possession, or the assignee, if applicable, must cure any defaults under the lease, compensate the lessor for its losses and provide the lessor with “adequate assurance” of future performance. These remedies may be insufficient, however, as the lessor may be forced to continue under the lease with a

514 

lessee that is a poor credit risk or an unfamiliar tenant (if the lease was assigned), and any assurances provided to the lessor may, in fact, be inadequate. If the lease is rejected, the rejection generally constitutes a breach of the executory contract or unexpired lease as of the date immediately preceding the filing date of the bankruptcy petition. As a consequence, the other party or parties to the lease, such as the borrower, as lessor under a lease, generally would have only an unsecured claim against the debtor, as lessee, for damages resulting from the breach, which could adversely affect the security for the related mortgage loan. In addition, under the Bankruptcy Code, a lease rejection damages claim is limited to the “(a) rent reserved by the lease, without acceleration, for the greater of one year, or 15 percent, not to exceed 3 years, of the remaining term of such lease, following the earlier of the date of the bankruptcy petition and the date on which the lessor regained possession of the real property, (b) plus any unpaid rent due under such lease, without acceleration, on the earlier of such dates”.

If a trustee in bankruptcy on behalf of a lessor, or a lessor as debtor-in-possession, rejects an unexpired lease of real property, the lessee may treat the lease as terminated by the rejection or, in the alternative, the lessee may remain in possession of the leasehold for the balance of the term and for any renewal or extension of the term that is enforceable by the lessee under applicable non-bankruptcy law. The Bankruptcy Code provides that if a lessee elects to remain in possession after a rejection of a lease, the lessee may offset against rents reserved under the lease for the balance of the term after the date of rejection of the lease, and the related renewal or extension of the lease, any damages occurring after that date caused by the nonperformance of any obligation of the lessor under the lease after that date.

Similarly, bankruptcy risk is associated with an insolvency proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code of either a borrower ground lessee or a ground lessor. In general, upon the bankruptcy of a lessor or a lessee under a lease of nonresidential real property, including a ground lease, that has not been terminated prior to the bankruptcy filing date, the debtor entity has the statutory right to assume or reject the lease. Given that the Bankruptcy Code generally invalidates clauses that terminate contracts automatically upon the filing by one of the parties of a bankruptcy petition or that are conditioned on a party’s insolvency, following the filing of a bankruptcy petition, a debtor would ordinarily be required to perform its obligations under such lease until the debtor decides whether to assume or reject the lease. The Bankruptcy Code provides certain additional protections with respect to non-residential real property leases, such as establishing a specific timeframe in which a debtor must determine whether to assume or reject the lease. The bankruptcy court may extend the time to perform for up to 60 days for cause shown. Even if the agreements were terminated prior to bankruptcy, a bankruptcy court may determine that the agreement was improperly terminated and therefore remains part of the debtor’s bankruptcy estate. The debtor also can seek bankruptcy court approval to assume and assign the lease to a third party, and to modify the lease in connection with such assignment. In order to assume the lease, the debtor or assignee generally will have to cure outstanding defaults and provide “adequate assurance of future performance” in addition to satisfying other requirements imposed under the Bankruptcy Code. Under the Bankruptcy Code, subject to certain exceptions, once a lease is rejected by a debtor lessee, it is deemed breached, and the non-debtor lessor will have a claim for lease rejection damages, as described above.

If the ground lessor files for bankruptcy, it may determine until the confirmation of its plan of reorganization whether to reject the ground lease. On request of any party to the lease, the bankruptcy court may order the debtor to determine within a specific period of time whether to assume or reject the lease or to comply with the terms of the lease pending

515 

its decision to assume or reject. In the event of rejection, the non-debtor lessee will have the right to treat the lease as terminated by virtue of its terms, applicable nonbankruptcy law, or any agreement made by the lessee. The non-debtor lessee may also, if the lease term has begun, retain its rights under the lease, including its rights to remain in possession of the leased premises under the rent reserved in the lease for the balance of the term of the lease (including renewals). The term “lessee” includes any “successor, assign or mortgagee permitted under the terms of such lease”. If, pre-petition, the ground lessor had specifically granted the leasehold mortgagee such right, the leasehold mortgagee may have the right to succeed to the lessee/borrower’s position under the lease.

In the event of concurrent bankruptcy proceedings involving the ground lessor and the lessee/borrower, actions by creditors against the borrower/lessee debtor would be subject to the automatic stay, and a lender may be unable to enforce both the bankrupt lessee/borrower’s pre-petition agreement to refuse to treat a ground lease rejected by a bankrupt lessor as terminated and any agreement by the ground lessor to grant the lender a new lease upon such termination. In such circumstances, a lease could be terminated notwithstanding lender protection provisions contained in that lease or in the mortgage. A lender could lose its security unless the lender holds a fee mortgage or the bankruptcy court, as a court of equity, allows the mortgagee to assume the ground lessee’s obligations under the ground lease and succeed to the ground lessee’s position. Although consistent with the Bankruptcy Code, such position may not be adopted by the bankruptcy court.

Further, in an appellate decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (Precision Indus. v. Qualitech Steel SBQ, LLC, 327 F.3d 537 (7th Cir, 2003)), the court ruled with respect to an unrecorded lease of real property that where a statutory sale of leased property occurs under the Bankruptcy Code upon the bankruptcy of a landlord, that sale terminates a lessee’s possessory interest in the property, and the purchaser assumes title free and clear of any interest, including any leasehold estates. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, a lessee may request the bankruptcy court to prohibit or condition the statutory sale of the property so as to provide adequate protection of the leasehold interest; however, the court ruled that, at least where a memorandum of lease had not been recorded, this provision does not ensure continued possession of the property, but rather entitles the lessee to compensation for the value of its leasehold interest, typically from the sale proceeds. As a result, we cannot assure you that, in the event of a statutory sale of leased property pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the lessee would be able to maintain possession of the property under the ground lease. In addition, we cannot assure you that a leasehold mortgagor and/or a leasehold mortgagee (to the extent it has standing to intervene) would be able to recover the full value of the leasehold interest in bankruptcy court.

Because of the possible termination of the related ground lease, whether arising from a bankruptcy, the expiration of a lease term or an uncured defect under the related ground lease, lending on a leasehold interest in a real property is riskier than lending on the fee interest in the property.

In a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving a borrower, action may be taken seeking the recovery as a preferential transfer of any payments made by such borrower, or made directly by the related lessee, under the related mortgage loan to the issuing entity. Payments on long term debt may be protected from recovery as preferences if they qualify for the “ordinary course” exception under the Bankruptcy Code or if certain other defenses in the Bankruptcy Code are applicable. Whether any particular payment would be protected depends upon the facts specific to a particular transaction.

516 

In addition, in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving any borrower or an affiliate, an action may be taken to avoid the transaction (or any component of the transaction, such as joint and several liability on the related mortgage loan) as an actual or constructive fraudulent conveyance under state or federal law. Any payment by a borrower in excess of its allocated share of the loan could be challenged as a fraudulent conveyance by creditors of that borrower in an action outside a bankruptcy case or by the representative of the borrower’s bankruptcy estate in a bankruptcy case. Generally, under federal and most state fraudulent conveyance statutes, the incurrence of an obligation or the transfer of property by a person will be subject to avoidance under certain circumstances if the person transferred such property with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors or the person did not receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value in exchange for such obligation or transfer and (i) was insolvent or was rendered insolvent by such obligation or transfer, (ii) was engaged in business or a transaction, or was about to engage in business or a transaction, for which any property remaining with the person constituted unreasonably small capital, or (iii) intended to, or believed that it would, incur debts that would be beyond the person’s ability to pay as such debts matured. The measure of insolvency will vary depending on the law of the applicable jurisdiction. However, an entity will generally be considered insolvent if the present fair salable value of its assets is less than (x) the sum of its debts or (y) the amount that would be required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured. Accordingly, a lien granted by a borrower to secure repayment of the loan in excess of its allocated share could be avoided if a court were to determine that (i) such borrower was insolvent at the time of granting the lien, was rendered insolvent by the granting of the lien, was left with inadequate capital, or was not able to pay its debts as they matured and (ii) the borrower did not, when it allowed its property to be encumbered by a lien securing the entire indebtedness represented by the loan, receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value for pledging such property for the equal benefit of each other borrower.

A bankruptcy court may, under certain circumstances, authorize a debtor to obtain credit after the commencement of a bankruptcy case, secured among other things, by senior, equal or junior liens on property that is already subject to a lien. In the bankruptcy case of General Growth Properties filed on April 16, 2009, the debtors initially sought approval of a debtor-in-possession loan to the corporate parent entities guaranteed by the property-level single-purpose entities and secured by second liens on their properties. Although the debtor-in-possession loan subsequently was modified to eliminate the subsidiary guarantees and second liens, we cannot assure you that, in the event of a bankruptcy of the borrower sponsor, the borrower sponsor would not seek approval of a similar debtor-in-possession loan, or that a bankruptcy court would not approve a debtor-in-possession loan that included such subsidiary guarantees and second liens on such subsidiaries’ properties.

Certain of the borrowers may be partnerships. The laws governing limited partnerships in certain states provide that the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a general partner will cause a person to cease to be a general partner of the limited partnership, unless otherwise provided in writing in the limited partnership agreement. This provision may be construed as an “ipso facto” clause and, in the event of the general partner’s bankruptcy, may not be enforceable. Certain limited partnership agreements of the borrowers may provide that the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the related general partner constitutes an event of withdrawal (assuming the enforceability of the clause is not challenged in bankruptcy proceedings or, if challenged, is upheld) that might trigger the dissolution of the limited partnership, the winding up of its affairs and the distribution of its assets, unless (i) at the time there was at least one other general partner and the written provisions of the limited

517 

partnership permit the business of the limited partnership to be carried on by the remaining general partner and that general partner does so or (ii) the written provisions of the limited partnership agreement permit the limited partners to agree within a specified time frame (often 60 days) after the withdrawal to continue the business of the limited partnership and to the appointment of one or more general partners and the limited partners do so. In addition, the laws governing general partnerships in certain states provide that the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code or state bankruptcy laws with respect to a general partner of the partnerships triggers the dissolution of the partnership, the winding up of its affairs and the distribution of its assets. Those state laws, however, may not be enforceable or effective in a bankruptcy case. Limited liability companies may be subjected to similar treatment as that described in this prospectus with respect to limited partnerships. The dissolution of a borrower, the winding up of its affairs and the distribution of its assets could result in an acceleration of its payment obligation under the borrower’s mortgage loan, which may reduce the yield on the Offered Certificates in the same manner as a principal prepayment.

In addition, the bankruptcy of the general or limited partner of a borrower that is a partnership, or the bankruptcy of a member of a borrower that is a limited liability company or the bankruptcy of a shareholder of a borrower that is a corporation may provide the opportunity in the bankruptcy case of the partner, member or shareholder to obtain an order from a court consolidating the assets and liabilities of the partner, member or shareholder with those of the mortgagor pursuant to the doctrines of substantive consolidation or piercing the corporate veil. In such a case, the respective mortgaged property, for example, would become property of the estate of the bankrupt partner, member or shareholder. Not only would the mortgaged property be available to satisfy the claims of creditors of the partner, member or shareholder, but an automatic stay would apply to any attempt by the trustee to exercise remedies with respect to the mortgaged property. However, such an occurrence should not affect a lender’s status as a secured creditor with respect to the mortgagor or its security interest in the mortgaged property.

A borrower that is a limited partnership, in many cases, may be required by the loan documents to have a single-purpose entity as its sole general partner, and a borrower that is a general partnership, in many cases, may be required by the loan documents to have as its general partners only entities that are single-purpose entities. A borrower that is a limited liability company may be required by the loan documents to have a single-purpose member or a springing member. All borrowers that are tenants-in-common may be required by the loan documents to be single-purpose entities. These provisions are designed to mitigate the risk of the dissolution or bankruptcy of the borrower partnership or its general partner, a borrower limited liability company or its member (if applicable), or a borrower that is a tenant-in-common. However, we cannot assure you that any borrower partnership or its general partner, or any borrower limited liability company or its member (if applicable), or a borrower that is a tenant-in-common, will not dissolve or become a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code.

Environmental Considerations

General

A lender may be subject to environmental risks when taking a security interest in real property. Of particular concern may be properties that are or have been used for industrial, manufacturing, military or disposal activity. Such environmental risks include the possible diminution of the value of a contaminated property or, as discussed below, potential liability for clean-up costs or other remedial actions that could exceed the value of the property or the amount of the lender’s loan. In certain circumstances, a lender may decide to abandon

518 

a contaminated mortgaged property as collateral for its loan rather than foreclose and risk liability for clean-up costs.

Superlien Laws

Under the laws of many states, contamination on a property may give rise to a lien on the property for clean-up costs. In several states, such a lien has priority over all existing liens, including those of existing mortgages. In these states, the lien of a mortgage may lose its priority to such a “superlien”.

CERCLA

The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA”), imposes strict liability on present and past “owners” and “operators” of contaminated real property for the costs of clean-up. A secured lender may be liable as an “owner” or “operator” of a contaminated mortgaged property if agents or employees of the lender have participated in the management or operation of such mortgaged property. Such liability may exist even if the lender did not cause or contribute to the contamination and regardless of whether the lender has actually taken possession of a mortgaged property through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Moreover, such liability is not limited to the original or unamortized principal balance of a loan or to the value of the property securing a loan. Excluded from CERCLA’s definition of “owner” or “operator,” however, is a person “who, without participating in the management of the facility, holds indicia of ownership primarily to protect his security interest”. This is the so called “secured creditor exemption”.

The Asset Conservation, Lender Liability and Deposit Insurance Protection Act of 1996 (the “1996 Act”) amended, among other things, the provisions of CERCLA with respect to lender liability and the secured creditor exemption. The 1996 Act offers protection to lenders by defining the activities in which a lender can engage and still have the benefit of the secured creditor exemption. In order for a lender to be deemed to have participated in the management of a mortgaged property, the lender must actually participate in the operational affairs of the property of the borrower. The 1996 Act provides that “merely having the capacity to influence, or unexercised right to control” operations does not constitute participation in management. A lender will lose the protection of the secured creditor exemption if it exercises decision-making control over the borrower’s environmental compliance and hazardous substance handling or disposal practices, or assumes day-to-day management of environmental or substantially all other operational functions of the mortgaged property. The 1996 Act also provides that a lender will continue to have the benefit of the secured creditor exemption even if it forecloses on a mortgaged property, purchases it at a foreclosure sale or accepts a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, provided that the lender seeks to sell the mortgaged property at the earliest practicable commercially reasonable time on commercially reasonable terms.

Certain Other Federal and State Laws

Many states have statutes similar to CERCLA, and not all of those statutes provide for a secured creditor exemption. In addition, under federal law, there is potential liability relating to hazardous wastes and underground storage tanks under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

Some federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances govern the management, removal, encapsulation or disturbance of asbestos-containing materials. These laws, as well as common law standards, may impose liability for releases of or exposure to asbestos-

519 

containing materials, and provide for third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injuries associated with those releases.

Federal legislation requires owners of residential housing constructed prior to 1978 to disclose to potential residents or purchasers any known lead-based paint hazards and will impose treble damages for any failure to disclose. In addition, the ingestion of lead-based paint chips or dust particles by children can result in lead poisoning. If lead-based paint hazards exist at a property, then the owner of that property may be held liable for injuries and for the costs of removal or encapsulation of the lead-based paint.

In a few states, transfers of some types of properties are conditioned upon clean-up of contamination prior to transfer. In these cases, a lender that becomes the owner of a property through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, may be required to clean up the contamination before selling or otherwise transferring the property.

Beyond statute-based environmental liability, there exist common law causes of action (for example, actions based on nuisance or on toxic tort resulting in death, personal injury or damage to property) related to hazardous environmental conditions on a property. While it may be more difficult to hold a lender liable under common law causes of action, unanticipated or uninsured liabilities of the borrower may jeopardize the borrower’s ability to meet its loan obligations or may decrease the re-sale value of the collateral.

Additional Considerations

The cost of remediating hazardous substance contamination at a property can be substantial. If a lender becomes liable, it can bring an action for contribution against the owner or operator who created the environmental hazard, but that individual or entity may be without substantial assets. Accordingly, it is possible that such costs could become a liability of the issuing entity and occasion a loss to the certificateholders.

If a lender forecloses on a mortgage secured by a property, the operations on which are subject to environmental laws and regulations, the lender will be required to operate the property in accordance with those laws and regulations. Such compliance may entail substantial expense, especially in the case of industrial or manufacturing properties.

In addition, a lender may be obligated to disclose environmental conditions on a property to government entities and/or to prospective buyers (including prospective buyers at a foreclosure sale or following foreclosure). Such disclosure may decrease the amount that prospective buyers are willing to pay for the affected property, sometimes substantially, and thereby decrease the ability of the lender to recover its investment in a loan upon foreclosure.

Due-on-Sale and Due-on-Encumbrance Provisions

Certain of the mortgage loans may contain “due-on-sale” and “due-on-encumbrance” clauses that purport to permit the lender to accelerate the maturity of the loan if the borrower transfers or encumbers the related mortgaged property. The Garn-St Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982 (the “Garn Act”) generally preempts state laws that prohibit the enforcement of due-on-sale clauses and permits lenders to enforce these clauses in accordance with their terms, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Garn Act and related regulations. Accordingly, a lender may nevertheless have the right to accelerate the maturity of a mortgage loan that contains a “due-on-sale” provision upon transfer of an interest in the property, without regard to the lender’s ability to demonstrate that a sale threatens its legitimate security interest.

520 

Subordinate Financing

The terms of certain of the mortgage loans may not restrict the ability of the borrower to use the mortgaged property as security for one or more additional loans, or such restrictions may be unenforceable. Where a borrower encumbers a mortgaged property with one or more junior liens, the senior lender is subjected to additional risk. First, the borrower may have difficulty servicing and repaying multiple loans. Moreover, if the subordinate financing permits recourse to the borrower (as-is frequently the case) and the senior loan does not, a borrower may have more incentive to repay sums due on the subordinate loan. Second, acts of the senior lender that prejudice the junior lender or impair the junior lender’s security may create a superior equity in favor of the junior lender. For example, if the borrower and the senior lender agree to an increase in the principal amount of or the interest rate payable on the senior loan, the senior lender may lose its priority to the extent any existing junior lender is harmed or the borrower is additionally burdened. Third, if the borrower defaults on the senior loan and/or any junior loan or loans, the existence of junior loans and actions taken by junior lenders can impair the security available to the senior lender and can interfere with or delay the taking of action by the senior lender. Moreover, the bankruptcy of a junior lender may operate to stay foreclosure or similar proceedings by the senior lender.

Default Interest and Limitations on Prepayments

Promissory notes and mortgages may contain provisions that obligate the borrower to pay a late charge or additional interest if payments are not timely made, and in some circumstances, may prohibit prepayments for a specified period and/or condition prepayments upon the borrower’s payment of prepayment fees or yield maintenance penalties. In certain states, there are or may be specific limitations upon the late charges which a lender may collect from a borrower for delinquent payments. Certain states also limit the amounts that a lender may collect from a borrower as an additional charge if the loan is prepaid. In addition, the enforceability of provisions that provide for prepayment fees or penalties upon an involuntary prepayment is unclear under the laws of many states.

Applicability of Usury Laws

Title V of the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 (“Title V”) provides that state usury limitations will not apply to certain types of residential (including multifamily) first mortgage loans originated by certain lenders after March 31, 1980. Title V authorized any state to reimpose interest rate limits by adopting, before April 1, 1983, a law or constitutional provision that expressly rejects application of the federal law. In addition, even where Title V is not so rejected, any state is authorized by the law to adopt a provision limiting discount points or other charges on mortgage loans covered by Title V. Certain states have taken action to reimpose interest rate limits and/or to limit discount points or other charges.

Statutes differ in their provisions as to the consequences of a usurious loan. One group of statutes requires the lender to forfeit the interest due above the applicable limit or impose a specified penalty. Under this statutory scheme, the borrower may cancel the recorded mortgage or deed of trust upon paying its debt with lawful interest, and the lender may foreclose, but only for the debt plus lawful interest. A second group of statutes is more severe. A violation of this type of usury law results in the invalidation of the transaction, thereby permitting the borrower to cancel the recorded mortgage or deed of trust without any payment or prohibiting the lender from foreclosing.

521 

Americans with Disabilities Act

Under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and related regulations (collectively, the “ADA”), in order to protect individuals with disabilities, public accommodations (such as hotel properties, restaurants, shopping centers, hospitals, schools and social service center establishments) must remove architectural and communication barriers which are structural in nature from existing places of public accommodation to the extent “readily achievable”. In addition, under the ADA, alterations to a place of public accommodation or a commercial facility are to be made so that, to the maximum extent feasible, such altered portions are readily accessible to and usable by disabled individuals. The “readily achievable” standard takes into account, among other factors, the financial resources of the affected site, owner, landlord or other applicable person. In addition to imposing a possible financial burden on the borrower in its capacity as owner or landlord, the ADA may also impose such requirements on a foreclosing lender who succeeds to the interest of the borrower as owner or landlord. Furthermore, since the “readily achievable” standard may vary depending on the financial condition of the owner or landlord, a foreclosing lender who is financially more capable than the borrower of complying with the requirements of the ADA may be subject to more stringent requirements than those to which the borrower is subject.

Servicemembers Civil Relief Act

Under the terms of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act as amended (the “Relief Act”), a borrower who enters military service after the origination of such borrower’s mortgage loan (including a borrower who was in reserve status and is called to active duty after origination of the mortgage loan), upon notification by such borrower, will not be charged interest, including fees and charges, in excess of 6% per annum during the period of such borrower’s active duty status. In addition to adjusting the interest, the lender must forgive any such interest in excess of 6% unless a court or administrative agency orders otherwise upon application of the lender. The Relief Act applies to individuals who are members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, Reserves, Coast Guard and officers of the U.S. Public Health Service or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration assigned to duty with the military. Because the Relief Act applies to individuals who enter military service (including reservists who are called to active duty) after origination of the related mortgage loan, no information can be provided as to the number of loans with individuals as borrowers that may be affected by the Relief Act. Application of the Relief Act would adversely affect, for an indeterminate period of time, the ability of the master servicer or special servicer to collect full amounts of interest on certain of the mortgage loans. Any shortfalls in interest collections resulting from the application of the Relief Act would result in a reduction of the amounts distributable to the holders of certificates, and would not be covered by advances or, any form of credit support provided in connection with the certificates. In addition, the Relief Act imposes limitations that would impair the ability of a lender to foreclose on an affected mortgage loan during the borrower’s period of active duty status, and, under certain circumstances, during an additional three-month period thereafter.

Anti-Money Laundering, Economic Sanctions and Bribery

Many jurisdictions have adopted wide-ranging anti-money laundering, economic and trade sanctions, and anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, and regulations (collectively, the “Requirements”). Any of the depositor, the issuing entity, the underwriters or other party to the PSA could be requested or required to obtain certain assurances from prospective investors intending to purchase certificates and to retain such information or to disclose information pertaining to them to governmental, regulatory or other authorities or to

522 

financial intermediaries or engage in due diligence or take other related actions in the future. Failure to honor any request by the depositor, the issuing entity, the underwriters or other party to the PSA to provide requested information or take such other actions as may be necessary or advisable for the depositor, the issuing entity, the underwriters or other party to the PSA to comply with any Requirements, related legal process or appropriate requests (whether formal or informal) may result in, among other things, a forced sale to another investor of such investor’s certificates. In addition, it is expected that each of the depositor, the issuing entity, the underwriters and the other parties to the PSA will comply with the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (also known as the “Patriot Act”) and any other anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism, economic and trade sanctions, and anti-corruption or anti-bribery laws, and regulations of the United States and other countries, and will disclose any information required or requested by authorities in connection with such compliance.

Potential Forfeiture of Assets

Federal law provides that assets (including property purchased or improved with assets) derived from criminal activity or otherwise tainted, or used in the commission of certain offenses, is subject to the blocking requirements of economic sanctions laws and regulations, and can be blocked and/or seized and ordered forfeited to the United States of America. The offenses that can trigger such a blocking and/or seizure and forfeiture include, among others, violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, the anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism, economic sanctions, and anti-bribery laws and regulations, including the Patriot Act and the regulations issued pursuant to that act, as well as the narcotic drug laws. In many instances, the United States may seize the property even before a conviction occurs.

In the event of a forfeiture proceeding, a lender may be able to establish its interest in the property by proving that (a) its mortgage was executed and recorded before the commission of the illegal conduct from which the assets used to purchase or improve the property were derived or before the commission of any other crime upon which the forfeiture is based, or (b) the lender, at the time of the execution of the mortgage, “did not know or was reasonably without cause to believe that the property was subject to forfeiture”. However, there is no assurance that such a defense will be successful.

Certain Affiliations, Relationships and Related Transactions Involving Transaction Parties

Wells Fargo Bank and its affiliates are playing several roles in this transaction. Wells Fargo Bank, a sponsor, an originator, a mortgage loan seller and the holder of one of the Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio Companion Loans, is also the master servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian under this securitization and is an affiliate of Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., the depositor, and of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, one of the underwriters. In addition, Wells Fargo Bank is (i) the master servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the WFCM 2018-C47 PSA, which governs the servicing and administration of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio whole loan and the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio whole loan, (ii) the servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the BBCMS 2018-CHRS TSA, which governs the servicing and administration of the Christiana Mall whole loan, (iii) the applicable master servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the BANK 2018-BNK14 PSA, which governs the servicing and administration of the Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio whole loan, (iv) the servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the Aventura Mall Trust 2018-AVM TSA, which governs the servicing and

523 

administration of the Aventura Mall whole loan, (v) expected to be the master servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the BBCMS 2018-C2 PSA, which is expected to govern the servicing and administration of the Home Depot Technology Center whole loan, (vi) the trustee, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the Benchmark 2018-B7 PSA, which governs the servicing and administration of the Liberty Portfolio whole loan, and (vii) the applicable master servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the BANK 2018-BNK12 PSA, which governs the servicing and administration of the Fair Oaks Mall whole loan.

In addition, Wells Fargo Bank is the purchaser under separate repurchase agreements with each of Argentic, Basis Real Estate Capital and BSPRT, or, in each case, with a wholly-owned subsidiary or other affiliate thereof, for the purpose of providing short-term warehousing of commercial mortgage loans originated or acquired by Argentic, Basis Real Estate Capital or BSPRT, as applicable, or in any such case by its affiliates.

In the case of the repurchase facility provided by Wells Fargo Bank to BSPRT, for which BSPRT’s affiliate is the primary obligor, Wells Fargo Bank has agreed to purchase certain commercial mortgage loans from such affiliate on a revolving basis. None of the mortgage loans that will be sold by BSPRT to the depositor in connection with this securitization transaction are subject to such repurchase facility.

In the case of the repurchase facility provided by Wells Fargo Bank to Basis Real Estate Capital, Wells Fargo Bank has agreed to purchase mortgage loans from Basis Real Estate Capital on a revolving basis. All of the mortgage loans that will be sold by Basis Real Estate Capital to the depositor in connection with this securitization transaction, having an aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of $109,604,372, are subject to such repurchase facility. Additionally, Basis Real Estate Capital or a wholly-owned subsidiary or other affiliate of Basis Real Estate Capital, is party to an interest rate hedging arrangement with Wells Fargo Bank with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans that Basis Real Estate Capital will transfer to the depositor in connection with this securitization transaction. This hedging arrangement will terminate in connection with the contribution of those Mortgage Loans to this securitization transaction.

In the case of the repurchase facility provided to Argentic, Wells Fargo Bank has agreed to purchase mortgage loans from such subsidiary on a revolving basis. Argentic guarantees the performance by its wholly-owned subsidiary of certain obligations under the repurchase facility. The aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Argentic Mortgage Loans that are (or, as of the Closing Date, are expected to be) subject to that repurchase facility is projected to equal approximately $300,741,141. Proceeds received by Argentic in connection with this securitization transaction will be used, in part, to repurchase, through its subsidiary, from Wells Fargo Bank, each of the Argentic Mortgage Loans subject to such repurchase facility, which Mortgage Loans will be transferred to the depositor free and clear of any liens.

Additionally, Argentic or a wholly-owned subsidiary or other affiliate of Argentic, is party to an interest rate hedging arrangement with Wells Fargo Bank with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans that Argentic will transfer to the depositor. This hedging arrangement will terminate in connection with the contribution of those Mortgage Loans to this securitization transaction.

As a result of the matters discussed above, this securitization transaction will reduce the economic exposure of Wells Fargo Bank to the Mortgage Loans that are to be transferred by Argentic and Basis Real Estate Capital, respectively, to the depositor.

524 

Wells Fargo Bank is (or, as of the Closing Date, is expected to be) the interim custodian of the loan files for some or all of the Barclays Mortgage Loans, the Basis Mortgage Loans and the Argentic Mortgage Loans.

While Wells Fargo Bank may have undertaken some evaluation of the Mortgage Loans originated or acquired by such mortgage loan sellers, any such review was undertaken by it solely for the purpose of determining whether such Mortgage Loans were eligible for financing under the terms of the related warehouse financing and was unrelated to this offering. In addition, we cannot assure you that such review was undertaken and, if undertaken, any such review was limited in scope to that specific purpose. The related mortgage loan sellers are solely responsible for the underwriting of their Mortgage Loans as well as the Mortgage Loan representations and warranties related thereto.

Pursuant to certain interim servicing agreements between Wells Fargo Bank and Argentic, a sponsor, an originator, and a mortgage loan seller, or certain affiliates of Argentic, Wells Fargo Bank acts as primary servicer, from time to time, with respect to certain mortgage loans owned by Argentic or such affiliates of Argentic (subject, in some cases, to the repurchase facility described above) including prior to their inclusion in the issuing entity, some or all of the Argentic Mortgage Loans.

Pursuant to certain interim servicing agreements between Wells Fargo Bank, on the one hand, and Barclays, each a sponsor, an originator and a mortgage loan seller, and certain affiliates of Barclays, on the other hand, Wells Fargo Bank acts, from time to time, as primary servicer with respect to certain mortgage loans owned by Barclays and/or such affiliates of Barclays, including, prior to their inclusion in the issuing entity, some or all of the Barclays Mortgage Loans.

Pursuant to an interim servicing agreement between Wells Fargo Bank and Basis Real Estate Capital, a sponsor, an originator, and a mortgage loan seller, Wells Fargo Bank acts from time to time as primary servicer with respect to certain mortgage loans owned by Basis Real Estate Capital (subject, in some cases, to the repurchase facility described above in this paragraph) from time to time, including, prior to their inclusion in the issuing entity, some or all of the Basis Mortgage Loans.

Pursuant to a certain interim servicing agreement between Wells Fargo Bank and Benefit Street Partners CRE Finance LLC, an affiliate of BSPRT, a sponsor, an originator and a mortgage loan seller, Wells Fargo Bank acts from time to time as primary servicer with respect to certain mortgage loans owned by such affiliate, including, prior to their inclusion in the issuing entity, some or all of the BSPRT Mortgage Loans.

Wells Fargo Bank acts as primary servicer with respect to certain mortgage loans it owns, which may include, prior to their inclusion in the issuing entity, some or all of the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans.

Wells Fargo Bank is expected to enter into one or more agreements with the other sponsors to purchase the master servicing rights to the related Mortgage Loans and/or the right to be appointed as the master servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loans and to purchase the primary servicing rights to certain of the Mortgage Loans.

LNR Partners assisted Argentic Securities Holdings Cayman Limited (or its affiliate), which is expected to purchase the Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class H-RR and Class V certificates and is expected to be appointed as the initial directing certificateholder, with due diligence relating to the mortgage loans to be included in the mortgage pool.

525 

LNR Partners is also (i) expected to be the special servicer under the BBCMS 2018-C2 PSA which is expected to govern the servicing of the Home Depot Technology Center Whole Loan and an LNR Partners affiliate, LNRSH, is expected to be the directing certificateholder, and (ii) the special servicer under the Benchmark 2018-B7 PSA, which governs the servicing of the Liberty Portfolio Whole Loan, and LNRSH is currently the owner of a minority interest in the controlling class.

526 

Yield and Maturity Considerations

Yield Considerations

General

The yield to maturity on the Offered Certificates will depend upon the price paid by the investors, the rate and timing of the distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of the applicable class of Offered Certificates, the extent to which Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums allocated to the class of Offered Certificates are collected, and the rate, timing and severity of losses on the Mortgage Loans and the extent to which such losses are allocable in reduction of the Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of the class of Offered Certificates, as well as prevailing interest rates at the time of payment or loss realization.

Rate and Timing of Principal Payments

The rate and amount of distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balance of any class of Offered Certificates that are also Principal Balance Certificates and the yield to maturity of any class of Offered Certificates will be directly related to the rate of payments of principal (both scheduled and unscheduled) on the Mortgage Loans, as well as borrower defaults and the severity of losses occurring upon a default and the resulting rate and timing of collections made in connection with liquidations of Mortgage Loans due to these defaults. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loans will be affected by their amortization schedules, lockout periods, defeasance provisions, provisions relating to the release and/or application of earnout reserves, provisions requiring prepayments in connection with the release of real property collateral, requirements to pay Yield Maintenance Charges or Prepayment Premiums in connection with principal payments, the dates on which balloon payments are due, incentives for a borrower to repay an ARD Loan by the related Anticipated Repayment Date, property release provisions, provisions relating to the application or release of earnout reserves, and any extensions of maturity dates by the master servicer or special servicer. While voluntary prepayments of some Mortgage Loans are generally prohibited during applicable prepayment lockout periods, effective prepayments may occur if a sufficiently significant portion of a mortgaged property is lost due to casualty or condemnation. In addition, such distributions in reduction of Certificate Balances of the respective classes of Offered Certificates that are also Principal Balance Certificates may result from repurchases of, or substitutions for, Mortgage Loans made by the sponsors due to missing or defective documentation or breaches of representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans as described under “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements” or purchases of the Mortgage Loans in the manner described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Termination; Retirement of Certificates”, and the exercise of purchase options by the holder of a mezzanine loan, if any. Additionally, in some cases, a borrower is required to apply a holdback reserve to prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan if certain release conditions are not satisfied. See “Description of the Mortgage Loan—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Escrows”. To the extent a Mortgage Loan requires payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium in connection with a voluntary prepayment, any such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium generally is not due in connection with a prepayment due to casualty or condemnation, is not included in the purchase price of a Mortgage Loan purchased or repurchased due to a breach of a representation or warranty or otherwise, and may not be enforceable or collectible upon a default.

Because the certificates with Notional Amounts are not entitled to distributions of principal, the yield on such certificates will be extremely sensitive to prepayments received

527 

in respect of the Mortgage Loans allocated to the certificates to the extent distributed to reduce the related Notional Amount of the applicable class of certificates. In addition, although the borrower under an ARD Loan may have certain incentives to prepay such ARD Loan on its Anticipated Repayment Date, we cannot assure you that the borrower will be able to prepay such ARD Loan on its related Anticipated Repayment Date. The failure of the borrower to prepay an ARD Loan on its Anticipated Repayment Date will not be an event of default under the terms of such ARD Loan, and pursuant to the terms of the PSA, neither the master servicer nor the special servicer will be permitted to take any enforcement action with respect to the borrower’s failure to pay Excess Interest until the scheduled maturity of such ARD Loan; provided that the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the issuing entity’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the respective ARD Loan documents. Moreover, with respect to the Class A-SB certificates, the extent to which the planned balances are achieved and the sensitivity of the Class A-SB certificates to principal prepayments on the mortgage loans allocated to the certificates will depend in part on the period of time during which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates remain outstanding. As such, the Class A-SB certificates will become more sensitive to the rate of prepayments on the mortgage loans allocated to the certificates than they were when the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates were outstanding.

The extent to which the yield to maturity of any class of Offered Certificates may vary from the anticipated yield will depend upon the degree to which the certificates are purchased at a discount or premium and when, and to what degree, payments of principal on the Mortgage Loans are in turn distributed on the certificates or, in the case of the Class X-A or Class X-B certificates, applied to reduce their Notional Amounts. An investor should consider, in the case of any certificate (other than a certificate with a Notional Amount) purchased at a discount, the risk that a slower than anticipated rate of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans allocated to the certificates could result in an actual yield to such investor that is lower than the anticipated yield and, in the case of any certificate purchased at a premium (including certificates with Notional Amounts), the risk that a faster than anticipated rate of principal payments could result in an actual yield to such investor that is lower than the anticipated yield. In general, the earlier a payment of principal on the Mortgage Loans is distributed or otherwise results in reduction of the Certificate Balance of a certificate purchased at a discount or premium, the greater will be the effect on an investor’s yield to maturity. As a result, the effect on an investor’s yield of principal payments distributed on an investor’s certificates occurring at a rate higher (or lower) than the rate anticipated by the investor during any particular period would not be fully offset by a subsequent like reduction (or increase) in the rate of principal payments.

The yield on each of the classes of certificates that have a Pass-Through Rate equal to, limited by, or based on, the WAC Rate could (or in the case of any class of certificates with a Pass-Through Rate equal to, or based on, the WAC Rate, would) be adversely affected if Mortgage Loans with higher Mortgage Rates prepay faster than Mortgage Loans with lower Mortgage Rates. The Pass-Through Rates on these classes of certificates may be adversely affected by a decrease in the WAC Rate even if principal prepayments do not occur.

Losses and Shortfalls

The Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of any class of Offered Certificates may be reduced without distributions of principal as a result of the occurrence and allocation of Realized Losses, reducing the maximum amount distributable in respect of principal on the Offered Certificates that are Principal Balance Certificates as well as the amount of interest that would have otherwise been payable on the Offered Certificates in the absence of such reduction. In general, a Realized Loss occurs when the principal balance of a Mortgage

528 

Loan is reduced without an equal distribution to applicable Certificateholders in reduction of the Certificate Balances of the certificates. Realized Losses may occur in connection with a default on a Mortgage Loan, acceptance of a discounted pay-off, the liquidation of the related Mortgaged Properties, a reduction in the principal balance of a Mortgage Loan by a bankruptcy court or pursuant to a modification, a recovery by the master servicer or trustee of a Nonrecoverable Advance on a Distribution Date or the incurrence of certain unanticipated or default-related costs and expenses (such as interest on Advances, Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees and Special Servicing Fees). Any reduction of the Certificate Balances of the classes of certificates indicated in the table below as a result of the application of Realized Losses will also reduce the Notional Amount of the related certificates.

Interest-Only Class of Certificates	Class Notional Amount		Underlying Classes
Class X-A	$	583,753,000	Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates
Class X-B	$	138,642,000	Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates

Certificateholders are not entitled to receive distributions of Periodic Payments when due except to the extent they are either covered by a P&I Advance or actually received. Consequently, any defaulted Periodic Payment for which no such P&I Advance is made will tend to extend the weighted average lives of the Offered Certificates, whether or not a permitted extension of the due date of the related Mortgage Loan has been completed.

Certain Relevant Factors Affecting Loan Payments and Defaults

The rate and timing of principal payments and defaults and the severity of losses on the Mortgage Loans may be affected by a number of factors, including, without limitation, the availability of credit for commercial or multifamily real estate, prevailing interest rates, the terms of the Mortgage Loans (for example, due-on-sale clauses, lockout periods or Yield Maintenance Charges, release of property provisions, amortization terms that require balloon payments, performance reserves being applied to repay a mortgage loan if certain criteria are not timely satisfied and incentives for a borrower to repay its mortgage loan by an anticipated repayment date), the demographics and relative economic vitality of the areas in which the Mortgaged Properties are located and the general supply and demand for rental properties in those areas, the quality of management of the Mortgaged Properties, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, possible changes in tax laws and other opportunities for investment. See “Risk Factors” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool”.

The rate of prepayment on the pool of Mortgage Loans is likely to be affected by prevailing market interest rates for Mortgage Loans of a comparable type, term and risk level as the Mortgage Loans. When the prevailing market interest rate is below a mortgage interest rate, a borrower may have an increased incentive to refinance its Mortgage Loan. Although the Mortgage Loans contain provisions designed to mitigate the likelihood of an early loan repayment, we cannot assure you that the related borrowers will refrain from prepaying their Mortgage Loans due to the existence of these provisions, or that involuntary prepayments will not occur. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans”.

With respect to certain Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Loan documents allow for the sale of individual properties and the severance of the related debt and the assumption by the transferee of such portion of the Mortgage Loan as-is allocable to the individual property acquired by that transferee, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In

529 

addition, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Loan documents allow for partial releases of individual Mortgaged Properties during a lockout period or during such time as a Yield Maintenance Charge would otherwise be payable, which could result in a prepayment of a portion of the initial principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan without payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium. Additionally, in the case of a partial release of an individual Mortgaged Property, the related release amount in many cases is greater than the allocated loan amount for the Mortgaged Property being released, which would result in a greater than proportionate paydown of the Mortgage Loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Releases; Partial Releases”.

Depending on prevailing market interest rates, the outlook for market interest rates and economic conditions generally, some borrowers may sell Mortgaged Properties in order to realize their equity in the Mortgaged Property, to meet cash flow needs or to make other investments. In addition, some borrowers may be motivated by federal and state tax laws (which are subject to change) to sell Mortgaged Properties prior to the exhaustion of tax depreciation benefits.

We make no representation as to the particular factors that will affect the rate and timing of prepayments and defaults on the Mortgage Loans, as to the relative importance of those factors, as to the percentage of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loans that will be prepaid or as to which a default will have occurred as of any date or as to the overall rate of prepayment or default on the Mortgage Loans.

Delay in Payment of Distributions

Because each monthly distribution is made on each Distribution Date, which is at least 15 days after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period for the certificates, the effective yield to the holders of such certificates will be lower than the yield that would otherwise be produced by the applicable Pass-Through Rates and purchase prices (assuming the prices did not account for the delay).

Yield on the Certificates with Notional Amounts

The yield to maturity of the certificates with Notional Amounts will be highly sensitive to the rate and timing of reductions made to the Certificate Balances of the classes of certificates indicated in the table below, including by reason of prepayments and principal losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to the certificates and other factors described above.

Interest-Only Class of Certificates	Class Notional Amount		Underlying Classes
Class X-A	$	583,753,000	Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates
Class X-B	$	138,642,000	Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates

Any optional termination by the holders of the Controlling Class, the special servicer, the master servicer or the holders of the Class R certificates would result in prepayment in full of the Offered Certificates and would have an adverse effect on the yield of a class of the certificates with a Notional Amount because a termination would have an effect similar to a principal prepayment in full of the Mortgage Loans and, as a result, investors in these certificates and any other Offered Certificates purchased at premium might not fully recoup

530 

their initial investment. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Termination; Retirement of Certificates”.

Investors in the certificates with a Notional Amount should fully consider the associated risks, including the risk that an extremely rapid rate of prepayment or other liquidation of the Mortgage Loans could result in the failure of such investors to recoup fully their initial investments.

Weighted Average Life

The weighted average life of a Principal Balance Certificate refers to the average amount of time that will elapse from the date of its issuance until each dollar to be applied in reduction of the aggregate certificate balance of those certificates is paid to the related investor. The weighted average life of a Principal Balance Certificate will be influenced by, among other things, the rate at which principal on the Mortgage Loans is paid or otherwise received, which may be in the form of scheduled amortization, voluntary prepayments, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds. Distributions among the various classes of certificates will be made as set forth under “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Priority of Distributions”.

Prepayments on Mortgage Loans may be measured by a prepayment standard or model. The “Constant Prepayment Rate” or “CPR” model represents an assumed constant annual rate of prepayment each month, expressed as a per annum percentage of the then-scheduled principal balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans. The “CPY” model represents an assumed CPR prepayment rate after any applicable lockout period, any applicable period in which defeasance is permitted and any applicable yield maintenance period. The depositor also may utilize the “CPP” model, which represents an assumed CPR prepayment rate after any applicable lockout period, any applicable period in which defeasance is permitted, any applicable yield maintenance period and after any fixed penalty period. The model used in this prospectus is the CPP model. As used in each of the following tables, the column headed “0% CPP” assumes that none of the Mortgage Loans is prepaid before its maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as the case may be. The columns headed “25% CPP”, “50% CPP”, “75% CPP” and “100% CPP” assume that prepayments on the Mortgage Loans are made at those levels of CPP. We cannot assure you, however, that prepayments of the Mortgage Loans will conform to any level of CPP, and we make no representation that the Mortgage Loans will prepay at the levels of CPP shown or at any other prepayment rate.

The following tables indicate the percentage of the initial Certificate Balance of each class of Offered Certificates that are also Principal Balance Certificates that would be outstanding after each of the dates shown at various CPPs and the corresponding weighted average life of each such class of Offered Certificates. The tables have been prepared on the basis of the following assumptions (the “Structuring Assumptions”), among others:

● except as otherwise set forth below, the Mortgage Loans have the characteristics set forth on Annex A-1 to this prospectus and the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans is as described in this prospectus;

● the initial aggregate certificate balance or notional amount, as the case may be, of each interest-bearing class of certificates is as described in this prospectus;

● the pass-through rate for each interest-bearing class of certificates is as described in this prospectus;

● no delinquencies, defaults or losses occur with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans;

531 

● no additional trust fund expenses (including Operating Advisor Expenses) arise, no Servicing Advances are made under the PSA and the only expenses of the issuing entity consist of the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees, the Servicing Fees, the CREFC^® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fees, the Asset Representations Reviewer Fees and the Operating Advisor fees, each as set forth on Annex A-1;

● there are no modifications, extensions, waivers or amendments affecting the monthly debt service payments by borrowers on the Mortgage Loans;

● each of the Mortgage Loans provides for monthly debt service payments to be due on the first day of each month, regardless of the actual day of the month on which those payments are otherwise due and regardless of whether the subject date is a business day or not;

● all monthly debt service or balloon payments on the Mortgage Loans are timely received by the master servicer on behalf of the issuing entity on the day on which they are assumed to be due or paid as described in the immediately preceding bullet;

● each ARD Loan in the trust fund is paid in full on its Anticipated Repayment Date;

● no involuntary prepayments are received as to any Mortgage Loan at any time (including, without limitation, as a result of any application of escrows, reserve or holdback amounts if performance criteria are not satisfied);

● except as described in the next two succeeding bullets, no voluntary prepayments are received as to any Mortgage Loan during that Mortgage Loan’s prepayment lockout period, any period when defeasance is permitted, or during any period when principal prepayments on that Mortgage Loan are required to be accompanied by a Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge;

● except as otherwise assumed in the immediately preceding two bullets, prepayments are made on each of the Mortgage Loans at the indicated CPPs set forth in the subject tables or other relevant part of this prospectus, without regard to any limitations in those Mortgage Loans on partial voluntary principal prepayments;

● all prepayments on the Mortgage Loans are assumed to be accompanied by a full month’s interest and no Prepayment Interest Shortfalls occur;

● no Yield Maintenance Charges or Prepayment Premiums are collected;

● no person or entity entitled thereto exercises its right of optional termination as described in this prospectus;

● no Mortgage Loan is required to be repurchased, and none of the holders of the Controlling Class (or any other Certificateholder), the special servicer, the master servicer or the holders of the Class R certificates will exercise its option to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and thereby cause an early termination of the issuing entity and no holder of any mezzanine debt or other indebtedness will exercise its option to purchase the related Mortgage Loan;

● distributions on the Offered Certificates are made on the 15th day of each month, commencing in January 2019;

● the Offered Certificates are settled with investors on December 20, 2018; and

532 

● the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan (3.1%) and the Fair Oaks Mall Mortgage Loan (1.1%) amortize based on the assumed principal payment schedules set forth on Annex A-4 and Annex A-5, respectively.

To the extent that the Mortgage Loans have characteristics that differ from those assumed in preparing the tables set forth below, a class of Principal Balance Certificates may mature earlier or later than indicated by the tables. The tables set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and it is highly unlikely that the Mortgage Loans will actually prepay at any constant rate until maturity or that all the Mortgage Loans will prepay at the same rate. In addition, variations in the actual prepayment experience and the balance of the Mortgage Loans that prepay may increase or decrease the percentages of initial Certificate Balances (and weighted average lives) shown in the following tables. These variations may occur even if the average prepayment experience of the Mortgage Loans were to equal any of the specified CPP percentages. Investors should not rely on the prepayment assumptions set forth in this prospectus and are urged to conduct their own analyses of the rates at which the Mortgage Loans may be expected to prepay, based on their own assumptions. Based on the foregoing assumptions, the following tables indicate the resulting weighted average lives of each class of Offered Certificates and set forth the percentage of the initial Certificate Balance of the class of the certificate that would be outstanding after each of the dates shown at the indicated CPPs.

Pre-Tax Yield to Maturity Tables

The following tables indicate the approximate pre-tax yield to maturity on a corporate bond equivalent basis on the Offered Certificates for the specified CPPs based on the assumptions set forth under “—Weighted Average Life” above. It was further assumed that the purchase price of the Offered Certificates is as specified in the tables below, expressed as a percentage of the initial Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, plus accrued interest from December 1, 2018 to the Closing Date.

The yields set forth in the following tables were calculated by determining the monthly discount rates that, when applied to the assumed streams of cash flows to be paid on the applicable class of Offered Certificates, would cause the discounted present value of such assumed stream of cash flows to equal the assumed purchase price of such class plus accrued interest, and by converting such monthly rates to semi-annual corporate bond equivalent rates. Such calculations do not take into account shortfalls in collection of interest due to prepayments (or other liquidations) of the Mortgage Loans or the interest rates at which investors may be able to reinvest funds received by them as distributions on the applicable class of certificates (and, accordingly, do not purport to reflect the return on any investment in the applicable class of Offered Certificates when such reinvestment rates are considered).

The characteristics of the Mortgage Loans may differ from those assumed in preparing the tables below. In addition, we cannot assure you that the Mortgage Loans will prepay in accordance with the above assumptions at any of the rates shown in the tables or at any other particular rate, that the cash flows on the applicable class of Offered Certificates will correspond to the cash flows shown in this prospectus or that the aggregate purchase price of such class of Offered Certificates will be as assumed. In addition, it is unlikely that the Mortgage Loans will prepay in accordance with the above assumptions at any of the specified CPPs until maturity or that all the Mortgage Loans will so prepay at the same rate. Timing of changes in the rate of prepayments may significantly affect the actual yield to maturity to investors, even if the average rate of principal prepayments is consistent with the expectations of investors. Investors must make their own decisions as to the appropriate prepayment assumption to be used in deciding whether to purchase any class of Offered Certificates.

For purposes of this prospectus, prepayment assumptions with respect to the Mortgage Loans are presented in terms of the CPP model described under “—Weighted Average Life” above.

Material Federal Income Tax Considerations

General

The following is a general discussion of the anticipated material federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the certificates. The discussion below does not purport to address all federal income tax consequences that may be applicable to particular categories of investors (such as banks, insurance companies, securities dealers, foreign persons, investors whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, and investors that hold the certificates as part of a “straddle” or “conversion transaction”), some of which may be subject to special rules. The authorities on which this discussion is based are subject to change or differing interpretations, and any such change or interpretation could apply retroactively. This discussion reflects the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as well as regulations (the “Income Tax Regulations”) promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS. Investors are encouraged to consult their tax advisors in determining the federal, state, local or any other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the certificates.

Two separate real estate mortgage investment conduit (“REMIC”) elections will be made with respect to designated portions of the issuing entity (the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and the “Upper-Tier REMIC”, and, together, the “Trust REMICs”). The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Mortgage Loans (excluding Excess Interest) and certain other assets and will issue (i) certain classes of regular interests (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”) to the Upper-Tier REMIC and (ii) an uncertificated interest represented by the Class R certificates as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC.

The Upper-Tier REMIC will hold the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and will issue (i) the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class H-RR certificates (the “Regular Interests”), each representing a regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC and (ii) an uncertificated interest represented by the Class R certificates as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC.

Qualification as a REMIC requires ongoing compliance with certain conditions. Assuming (i) the making of appropriate elections, (ii) compliance with the PSA and the Intercreditor Agreements, (iii) compliance with the provisions of any Non-Serviced PSA and any amendments thereto and the continued qualification of the REMICs formed under any Non-Serviced PSA and (iv) compliance with any changes in the law, including any amendments to the Code or applicable Treasury regulations thereunder, in the opinion of Sidley Austin LLP, special tax counsel to the depositor, (a) each Trust REMIC will qualify as a REMIC, (b) each of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests will constitute a “regular interest” in the Lower-Tier REMIC, (c) each of the Regular Interests will constitute a “regular interest” in the Upper-Tier REMIC and (d) the Class R certificates will evidence the sole class of “residual interests” in each Trust REMIC.

In addition, in the opinion of Sidley Austin LLP, special tax counsel to the depositor, the entitlement to Excess Interest and the related distribution account will be treated as held by an arrangement classified as a trust under Section 301.7701-4(c) of the Income Tax Regulations and the holders of the Class V certificates will be treated as the owners of such assets under Code Section 671 (the “Grantor Trust”).

540 

Qualification as a REMIC

In order for each Trust REMIC to qualify as a REMIC, there must be ongoing compliance on the part of such Trust REMIC with the requirements set forth in the Code. Each Trust REMIC must fulfill an asset test, which requires that no more than a de minimis portion of the assets of such Trust REMIC, as of the close of the third calendar month beginning after the Closing Date (which for purposes of this discussion is the date of the issuance of the Regular Interests, the “Startup Day”) and at all times thereafter, may consist of assets other than “qualified mortgages” and “permitted investments”. The Income Tax Regulations provide a safe harbor pursuant to which the de minimis requirements will be met if at all times the aggregate adjusted basis of the nonqualified assets is less than 1% of the aggregate adjusted basis of all such Trust REMIC’s assets. Each Trust REMIC also must provide “reasonable arrangements” to prevent its residual interest from being held by “disqualified organizations” or their agents and must furnish applicable tax information to transferors or agents that violate this restriction. The PSA will provide that no legal or beneficial interest in the Class R certificates may be transferred or registered unless certain conditions, designed to prevent violation of this restriction, are met. It is expected that each Trust REMIC will qualify as a REMIC at all times that any of its regular interests are outstanding.

A qualified mortgage is any obligation that is principally secured by an interest in real property and that is either transferred to a REMIC on the Startup Day or is purchased by a REMIC within a 3 month period thereafter pursuant to a fixed price contract in effect on the Startup Day. Qualified mortgages include (i) whole mortgage loans or split-note interests in such mortgage loans, such as the Mortgage Loans; provided that, in general, (a) the fair market value of the real property security (including buildings and structural components of the real property security) (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property security that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property security that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is at least 80% of the aggregate principal balance of such Mortgage Loan either at origination or as of the Startup Day (a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 125% with respect to the real property security) or (b) substantially all the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan or the underlying mortgages were used to acquire, improve or protect an interest in real property that, at the date of origination, was the only security for the Mortgage Loan, and (ii) regular interests in another REMIC, such as the Lower-Tier Regular Interests that will be held by the Upper-Tier REMIC. If a Mortgage Loan was not in fact principally secured by real property or is otherwise not a qualified mortgage, it must be disposed of within 90 days of discovery of such defect, or otherwise ceases to be a qualified mortgage after such 90-day period.

Permitted investments include “cash flow investments”, “qualified reserve assets” and “foreclosure property”. A cash flow investment is an investment, earning a return in the nature of interest, of amounts received on or with respect to qualified mortgages for a temporary period, not exceeding 13 months, until the next scheduled distribution to holders of interests in the REMIC. A qualified reserve asset is any intangible property held for investment that is part of any reasonably required reserve maintained by the REMIC to provide for payments of expenses of the REMIC or amounts due on its regular or residual interests in the event of defaults (including delinquencies) on the qualified mortgages, lower than expected reinvestment returns, Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and certain other contingencies. The Trust REMICs will not hold any qualified reserve assets. Foreclosure property is real property acquired by a REMIC in connection with the default or imminent default of a qualified mortgage and maintained by the REMIC in compliance with applicable rules and personal property that is incidental to such real property; provided that the mortgage loan sellers had no knowledge or reason to know, as of the Startup Day, that such

541 

a default had occurred or would occur. Foreclosure property may generally not be held after the close of the third calendar year beginning after the date the issuing entity acquires such property, with one extension that may be granted by the IRS.

A mortgage loan held by a REMIC will fail to be a qualified mortgage if it is “significantly modified” unless default is “reasonably foreseeable” or where the servicer believes there is a “significant risk of default” upon maturity of the mortgage loan or at an earlier date, and that by making such modification the risk of default is substantially reduced. A mortgage loan held by a REMIC will not be considered to have been “significantly modified” following the release of the lien on a portion of the real property collateral if (a) the release is pursuant to a defeasance permitted under the mortgage loan documents that occurs more than two years after the startup day of the REMIC or (b) following the release the loan-to-value ratio for the mortgage loan is not more than 125% with respect to the real property security. Furthermore, if the release is not pursuant to a defeasance and following the release the loan-to-value ratio for the mortgage loan is greater than 125%, the mortgage loan will continue to be a qualified mortgage if the release is part of a “qualified paydown transaction” in accordance with Revenue Procedure 2010-30.

In addition to the foregoing requirements, the various interests in a REMIC also must meet certain requirements. All of the interests in a REMIC must be either of the following: (i) one or more classes of regular interests or (ii) a single class of residual interests on which distributions, if any, are made pro rata. A regular interest is an interest in a REMIC that is issued on the Startup Day with fixed terms, is designated as a regular interest, and unconditionally entitles the holder to receive a specified principal amount (or other similar amount), and provides that interest payments (or other similar amounts), if any, at or before maturity either are payable based on a fixed rate or a qualified variable rate, or consist of a specified, nonvarying portion of the interest payments on the qualified mortgages. The rate on the specified portion may be a fixed rate, a variable rate, or the difference between one fixed or qualified variable rate and another fixed or qualified variable rate. The specified principal amount of a regular interest that provides for interest payments consisting of a specified, nonvarying portion of interest payments on qualified mortgages may be zero. An interest in a REMIC may be treated as a regular interest even if payments of principal with respect to such interest are subordinated to payments on other regular interests or the residual interest in the REMIC, and are dependent on the absence of defaults or delinquencies on qualified mortgages or permitted investments, lower than reasonably expected returns on permitted investments, expenses incurred by the REMIC or Prepayment Interest Shortfalls. A residual interest is an interest in a REMIC other than a regular interest that is issued on the Startup Day that is designated as a residual interest. Each of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests will constitute a class of regular interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC, each class of the Regular Interests will constitute a class of regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC, and the Class R certificates will represent the sole class of residual interests in each Trust REMIC.

If an entity fails to comply with one or more of the ongoing requirements of the Code for status as a REMIC during any taxable year, the Code provides that the entity or applicable portion of it will not be treated as a REMIC for such year and thereafter. In this event, any entity with debt obligations with two or more maturities, such as the Trust REMICs, may be treated as a separate association taxable as a corporation under Treasury regulations, and the certificates may be treated as equity interests in such an association. The Code, however, authorizes the Treasury Department to issue regulations that address situations where failure to meet one or more of the requirements for REMIC status occurs inadvertently and in good faith. Investors should be aware, however, that the Conference Committee Report to the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the “1986 Act”) indicates that the relief

542 

may be accompanied by sanctions, such as the imposition of a corporate tax on all or a portion of a REMIC’s income for the period of time in which the requirements for REMIC status are not satisfied.

Status of Offered Certificates

Offered Certificates held by a real estate investment trust will constitute “real estate assets” within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(5)(B), and interest (including original issue discount) on the Offered Certificates will be considered “interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property” within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(3)(B) in the same proportion that, for both purposes, the assets of the issuing entity would be so treated. For purposes of Code Section 856(c)(5)(B), payments of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans that are reinvested pending distribution to holders of Offered Certificates qualify for such treatment. Offered Certificates held by a domestic building and loan association will be treated as “loans . . . secured by an interest in real property which is . . . residential real property” within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(19)(C)(v) or as other assets described in Code Section 7701(a)(19)(C) only to the extent the Mortgage Loans are secured by residential real property. As of the Cut-off Date, eleven (11) of the Mortgaged Properties securing nine (9) Mortgage Loans representing approximately 15.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, are multifamily properties. Holders of Offered Certificates should consult their tax advisors whether the foregoing percentage or some other percentage applies to their Offered Certificates. If at all times 95% or more of the assets of the issuing entity qualify for each of the foregoing treatments, the Offered Certificates will qualify for the corresponding status in their entirety. For the purposes of the foregoing determinations, the Trust REMICs will be treated as a single REMIC. In addition, Mortgage Loans that have been defeased with government securities will not qualify for such treatment. Offered Certificates will be “qualified mortgages” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3) for another REMIC if transferred to that REMIC within a prescribed time period in exchange for regular or residual interests in that REMIC. Moreover, Offered Certificates held by certain financial institutions will constitute an “evidence of indebtedness” within the meaning of Code Section 582(c)(1).

Taxation of Regular Interests

General

Each class of Regular Interests (whether held directly or indirectly) represents a regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Regular Interests will represent newly originated debt instruments for federal income tax purposes. In general, interest, original issue discount and market discount on a Regular Interest will be treated as ordinary income to the holder of a Regular Interest (a “Regular Interestholder”), and principal payments on a Regular Interest will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the Regular Interestholder’s basis in the Regular Interest. Regular Interestholders must use the accrual method of accounting with regard to the Regular Interests, regardless of the method of accounting otherwise used by such Regular Interestholders.

Notwithstanding the following, under new legislation enacted on December 22, 2017, commonly referred to as “The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”), for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, Regular Interestholders on the accrual method of accounting may be required to accrue amounts of gross income, other than amounts of original issue discount and market discount, no later than the year such Regular Interestholders include such amounts as revenue on their applicable financial statements. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2018, this rule will also apply to original issue

543 

discount. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax counsel regarding the potential application of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to their particular situation.

Original Issue Discount

Holders of Regular Interests issued with original issue discount generally must include original issue discount in ordinary income for federal income tax purposes as it accrues in accordance with the constant yield method, which takes into account the compounding of interest, in advance of receipt of the cash attributable to such income. The following discussion is based on temporary and final Treasury regulations (the “OID Regulations”) under Code Sections 1271 through 1273 and 1275 and on the provisions of the 1986 Act. Regular Interestholders should be aware, however, that the OID Regulations do not adequately address certain issues relevant to prepayable securities, such as the Regular Interests. To the extent such issues are not addressed in the OID Regulations, the certificate administrator will apply the methodology described in the Conference Committee Report to the 1986 Act. No assurance can be provided that the IRS will not take a different position as to those matters not currently addressed by the OID Regulations. Moreover, the OID Regulations include an anti-abuse rule allowing the IRS to apply or depart from the OID Regulations if necessary or appropriate to ensure a reasonable tax result in light of the applicable statutory provisions. A tax result will not be considered unreasonable under the anti-abuse rule, however, in the absence of a substantial effect on the present value of a taxpayer’s tax liability. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors as to the discussion in this prospectus and the appropriate method for reporting interest and original issue discount with respect to the Regular Interests.

Each Regular Interest will be treated as an installment obligation for purposes of determining the original issue discount includible in a Regular Interestholder’s income. The total amount of original issue discount on a Regular Interest is the excess of the “stated redemption price at maturity” of the Regular Interest over its “issue price”. The issue price of a class of Regular Interests is the first price at which a substantial amount of Regular Interests of such class is sold to investors (excluding bond houses, brokers and underwriters). Although unclear under the OID Regulations, the certificate administrator will treat the issue price of Regular Interests for which there is no substantial sale as of the issue date as the fair market value of such Regular Interests as of the issue date. The issue price of the Regular Interests also includes the amount paid by an initial Regular Interestholder for accrued interest that relates to a period prior to the issue date of such class of Regular Interests. The stated redemption price at maturity of a Regular Interest is the sum of all payments provided by the debt instrument other than any qualified stated interest payments. Under the OID Regulations, qualified stated interest generally means interest payable at a single fixed rate or a qualified variable rate; provided that such interest payments are unconditionally payable at intervals of one year or less during the entire term of the obligation. Because there is no penalty or default remedy in the case of nonpayment of interest with respect to a Regular Interest, it is possible that no interest on any class of Regular Interests will be treated as qualified stated interest. However, because the Mortgage Loans provide for remedies in the event of default, the certificate administrator will treat all payments of stated interest on the Regular Interests (other than the Class X Certificates) as qualified stated interest (other than accrued interest distributed on the first Distribution Date for the number of days that exceed the interval between the Closing Date and the first Distribution Date).

It is anticipated that the certificate administrator will treat the Class X-A and Class X-B certificates as having no qualified stated interest. Such classes will be considered to be issued with original issue discount in an amount equal to the excess of all distributions of interest expected to be received on such classes over their respective issue prices (including

544 

interest accrued prior to the Closing Date). Any “negative” amounts of original issue discount on such classes attributable to rapid prepayments with respect to the Mortgage Loans will not be deductible currently. The holder of a Class X-A or Class X-B certificate may be entitled to a deduction for a loss, which may be a capital loss, to the extent it becomes certain that such holder will not recover a portion of its basis in such class, assuming no further prepayments.

Under a de minimis rule, original issue discount on a Regular Interest will be considered to be zero if such original issue discount is less than 0.25% of the stated redemption price at maturity of the Regular Interest multiplied by the weighted average maturity of the Regular Interest. For this purpose, the weighted average maturity of the Regular Interest is computed as the sum of the amounts determined by multiplying the number of full years (i.e., rounding down partial years) from the issue date until each distribution in reduction of stated redemption price at maturity is scheduled to be made by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of each distribution included in the stated redemption price at maturity of the Regular Interest and the denominator of which is the stated redemption price at maturity or anticipated repayment date of the Regular Interest. The Conference Committee Report to the 1986 Act provides that the schedule of such distributions should be determined in accordance with the assumed rate of prepayment on the Mortgage Loans used in pricing the transaction, namely, 0% CPR; provided that it is assumed that any ARD Loan repays on its anticipated repayment date (the “Prepayment Assumption”). See “Yield and Maturity Considerations—Weighted Average Life” above. Holders generally must report de minimis original issue discount pro rata as principal payments are received, and such income will be capital gain if the Regular Interest is held as a capital asset. Under the OID Regulations, however, Regular Interestholders may elect to accrue all de minimis original issue discount, as well as market discount and premium, under the constant yield method. See “—Election To Treat All Interest Under the Constant Yield Method” below. Based on the foregoing, it is anticipated that the Class C certificates will be issued with de minimis original issue discount for federal income tax purposes.

A holder of a Regular Interest issued with original issue discount generally must include in gross income for any taxable year the sum of the “daily portions”, as defined below, of the original issue discount on the Regular Interest accrued during an accrual period for each day on which it holds the Regular Interest, including the date of purchase but excluding the date of disposition. With respect to each such Regular Interest, a calculation will be made of the original issue discount that accrues during each successive full accrual period that ends on the day prior to each Distribution Date with respect to the Regular Interests, assuming that prepayments and extensions with respect to the Mortgage Loans will be made in accordance with the Prepayment Assumption. The original issue discount accruing in a full accrual period will be the excess, if any, of (i) the sum of (a) the present value of all of the remaining distributions to be made on the Regular Interest as of the end of that accrual period and (b) the distributions made on the Regular Interest during the accrual period that are included in the Regular Interest’s stated redemption price at maturity, over (ii) the adjusted issue price of the Regular Interest at the beginning of the accrual period. The present value of the remaining distributions referred to in the preceding sentence is calculated based on (i) the yield to maturity of the Regular Interest as of the Startup Day, (ii) events (including actual prepayments) that have occurred prior to the end of the accrual period and (iii) the assumption that the remaining payments will be made in accordance with the original Prepayment Assumption. For these purposes, the adjusted issue price of a Regular Interest at the beginning of any accrual period equals the issue price of the Regular Interest, increased by the aggregate amount of original issue discount with respect to the Regular Interest that accrued in all prior accrual periods and reduced by the amount of distributions included in the Regular Interest’s stated redemption price at maturity that were

545 

made on the Regular Interest that were attributable to such prior periods. The original issue discount accruing during any accrual period (as determined in this paragraph) will then be divided by the number of days in the period to determine the daily portion of original issue discount for each day in the period.

Under the method described above, the daily portions of original issue discount required to be included as ordinary income by a Regular Interestholder (other than a holder of a Class X-A or Class X-B certificate) generally will increase to take into account prepayments on the Regular Interests as a result of prepayments on the Mortgage Loans that exceed the Prepayment Assumption, and generally will decrease (but not below zero for any period) if the prepayments are slower than the Prepayment Assumption. Due to the unique nature of interest-only certificates, the preceding sentence may not apply in the case of the Class X-A or Class X-B certificates.

Acquisition Premium

A purchaser of a Regular Interest at a price greater than its adjusted issue price and less than its remaining stated redemption price at maturity will be required to include in gross income the daily portions of the original issue discount on the Regular Interest reduced pro rata by a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess of its purchase price over such adjusted issue price and the denominator of which is the excess of the remaining stated redemption price at maturity over the adjusted issue price. Alternatively, such a purchaser may elect to treat all such acquisition premium under the constant yield method, as described under “—Election To Treat All Interest Under the Constant Yield Method” below.

Market Discount

A purchaser of a Regular Interest also may be subject to the market discount rules of Code Sections 1276 through 1278. Under these Code sections and the principles applied by the OID Regulations in the context of original issue discount, “market discount” is the amount by which the purchaser’s original basis in the Regular Interest (i) is exceeded by the remaining outstanding principal payments and non-qualified stated interest payments due on the Regular Interest, or (ii) in the case of a Regular Interest having original issue discount, is exceeded by the adjusted issue price of such Regular Interest at the time of purchase. Such purchaser generally will be required to recognize ordinary income to the extent of accrued market discount on such Regular Interest as distributions includible in its stated redemption price at maturity are received, in an amount not exceeding any such distribution. Such market discount would accrue in a manner to be provided in Treasury regulations and should take into account the Prepayment Assumption. The Conference Committee Report to the 1986 Act provides that until such regulations are issued, such market discount would accrue, at the election of the holder, either (i) on the basis of a constant interest rate or (ii) in the ratio of interest accrued for the relevant period to the sum of the interest accrued for such period plus the remaining interest after the end of such period, or, in the case of classes issued with original issue discount, in the ratio of original issue discount accrued for the relevant period to the sum of the original issue discount accrued for such period plus the remaining original issue discount after the end of such period. Such purchaser also generally will be required to treat a portion of any gain on a sale or exchange of the Regular Interest as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount accrued to the date of disposition under one of the foregoing methods, less any accrued market discount previously reported as ordinary income as partial distributions in reduction of the stated redemption price at maturity were received. Such purchaser will be required to defer deduction of a portion of the excess of the interest paid or accrued on indebtedness incurred to purchase or carry the Regular Interest over the interest (including original issue discount) distributable on the Regular Interest. The deferred portion of such

546 

interest expense in any taxable year generally will not exceed the accrued market discount on the Regular Interest for such year. Any such deferred interest expense is, in general, allowed as a deduction not later than the year in which the related market discount income is recognized or the Regular Interest is disposed of. As an alternative to the inclusion of market discount in income on the foregoing basis, the Regular Interestholder may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, in which case the interest deferral rule will not apply. Such election, if made, will apply to all market discount bonds acquired by the Regular Interestholder as of the first day of the taxable year for which the election is made and to all market discount bonds acquired thereafter. The election may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. See “—Election To Treat All Interest Under the Constant Yield Method” below regarding making the election under Code Section 1286 and an alternative manner in which such election may be deemed to be made.

Market discount with respect to a Regular Interest will be considered to be zero if such market discount is less than 0.25% of the remaining stated redemption price at maturity of such Regular Interest multiplied by the weighted average maturity of the Regular Interest remaining after the date of purchase. For this purpose, the weighted average maturity is determined by multiplying the number of full years (i.e., rounding down partial years) from the issue date until each distribution in reduction of stated redemption price at maturity is scheduled to be made by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of each such distribution included in the stated redemption price at maturity of the Regular Interest and the denominator of which is the total stated redemption price at maturity of the Regular Interest. It appears that de minimis market discount would be reported pro rata as principal payments are received. Treasury regulations implementing the market discount rules have not yet been proposed, and investors should therefore consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules as well as the advisability of making any of the elections with respect to such rules. Investors should also consult Revenue Procedure 92-67 concerning the elections to include market discount in income currently and to accrue market discount on the basis of the constant yield method.

Premium

A Regular Interest purchased upon initial issuance or in the secondary market at a cost greater than its remaining stated redemption price at maturity generally is considered to be purchased at a premium. If the Regular Interestholder holds such Regular Interest as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Code Section 1221, the Regular Interestholder may elect under Code Section 171 to amortize such premium under the constant yield method. Such election, if made, will apply to all premium debt instruments (the interest on which is not excludable from gross income) held by the Regular Interestholder as of the first day of the taxable year for which the election is made and to all premium debt instruments acquired thereafter. The election may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. See “—Election To Treat All Interest Under the Constant Yield Method” below regarding making the election under Code Section 171 and an alternative manner in which the Code Section 171 election may be deemed to be made. Final Treasury regulations under Code Section 171 do not, by their terms, apply to prepayable obligations such as the Regular Interests. The Conference Committee Report to the 1986 Act indicates a Congressional intent that the same rules that will apply to the accrual of market discount on installment obligations will also apply to amortizing bond premium under Code Section 171 on installment obligations such as the Regular Interests, although it is unclear whether the alternatives to the constant interest method described above under “—Market Discount” are available. Amortizable bond premium will be treated as an offset to interest income on a Regular Interest rather than as a separate deduction item. It is anticipated that the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-

547 

3, Class A-SB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S and Class B certificates will be issued at a premium for federal income tax purposes.

Election To Treat All Interest Under the Constant Yield Method

A holder of a debt instrument such as a Regular Interest may elect to treat all interest that accrues on the instrument using the constant yield method, with none of the interest being treated as qualified stated interest. For purposes of applying the constant yield method to a debt instrument subject to such an election, (i) “interest” includes stated interest, original issue discount, de minimis original issue discount, market discount and de minimis market discount, as adjusted by any amortizable bond premium or acquisition premium and (ii) the debt instrument is treated as if the instrument were issued on the holder’s acquisition date in the amount of the holder’s adjusted basis immediately after acquisition. It is unclear whether, for this purpose, the initial Prepayment Assumption would continue to apply or if a new prepayment assumption as of the date of the holder’s acquisition would apply. A holder generally may make such an election on an instrument by instrument basis or for a class or group of debt instruments. However, if the holder makes such an election with respect to a debt instrument with amortizable bond premium or with market discount, the holder is deemed to have made elections to amortize bond premium or to report market discount income currently as it accrues under the constant yield method, respectively, for all premium bonds held or acquired or market discount bonds acquired by the holder on the first day of the year of the election or thereafter. The election is made on the holder’s federal income tax return for the year in which the debt instrument is acquired and is irrevocable except with the approval of the IRS. Investors are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the advisability of making such an election.

Treatment of Losses

A holder of a debt instrument such as a Regular Interest may elect to treat all interest that accrues on the instrument using the constant yield method, with none of the interest being treated as qualified stated interest. For purposes of applying the constant yield method to a debt instrument subject to such an election, (i) “interest” includes stated interest, original issue discount, de minimis original issue discount, market discount and de minimis market discount, as adjusted by any amortizable bond premium or acquisition premium and (ii) the debt instrument is treated as if the instrument were issued on the holder’s acquisition date in the amount of the holder’s adjusted basis immediately after acquisition. It is unclear whether, for this purpose, the initial Prepayment Assumption would continue to apply or if a new prepayment assumption as of the date of the holder’s acquisition would apply. A holder generally may make such an election on an instrument by instrument basis or for a class or group of debt instruments. However, if the holder makes such an election with respect to a debt instrument with amortizable bond premium or with market discount, the holder is deemed to have made elections to amortize bond premium or to report market discount income currently as it accrues under the constant yield method, respectively, for all premium bonds held, or market discount bonds acquired, on the first day of the year of the election and to all premium bonds or market discount bonds, acquired thereafter. The election is made on the holder’s federal income tax return for the year in which the debt instrument is acquired and is irrevocable except with the approval of the IRS. Investors are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the advisability of making such an election.

Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums

Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums actually collected on the Mortgage Loans will be distributed as described in “Description of the Certificates—Allocation

548 

of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums”. It is not entirely clear under the Code when the amount of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums so allocated should be taxed to the holders of such classes of certificates, but it is not expected, for federal income tax reporting purposes, that Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums will be treated as giving rise to any income to the holder of such class of certificates prior to the certificate administrator’s actual receipt of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums. Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums, if any, may be treated as paid upon the retirement or partial retirement of such classes of certificates. The IRS may disagree with these positions. Certificateholders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the treatment of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums.

Sale or Exchange of Regular Interests

If a Regular Interestholder sells or exchanges a Regular Interest, such Regular Interestholder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount received and its adjusted basis in the Regular Interest. The adjusted basis of a Regular Interest generally will equal the cost of the Regular Interest to the seller, increased by any original issue discount or market discount previously included in the seller’s gross income with respect to the Regular Interest and reduced by amounts included in the stated redemption price at maturity of the Regular Interest that were previously received by the seller, by any amortized premium, and by any deductible losses on the Regular Interest.

Except as described above with respect to market discount, and except as provided in this paragraph, any gain or loss on the sale or exchange of a Regular Interest realized by an investor that holds the Regular Interest as a capital asset will be capital gain or loss and will be long term or short term depending on whether the Regular Interest has been held for the long term capital gain holding period (more than one year). Such gain will be treated as ordinary income: (i) if the Regular Interest is held as part of a “conversion transaction” as defined in Code Section 1258(c), up to the amount of interest that would have accrued on the Regular Interestholder’s net investment in the conversion transaction at 120% of the appropriate applicable federal rate under Code Section 1274(d) in effect at the time the taxpayer entered into the transaction minus any amount previously treated as ordinary income with respect to any prior disposition of property that was held as part of such transaction; (ii) in the case of a non-corporate taxpayer, to the extent such taxpayer has made an election under Code Section 163(d)(4) to have net capital gains taxed as investment income at ordinary income rates; or (iii) to the extent that such gain does not exceed the excess, if any, of (a) the amount that would have been includible in the gross income of the Regular Interestholder if his yield on such Regular Interest were 110% of the applicable federal rate as of the date of purchase, over (b) the amount of income actually includible in the gross income of such Regular Interestholder with respect to the Regular Interest. In addition, gain or loss recognized from the sale of a Regular Interest by certain banks or thrift institutions will be treated as ordinary income or loss pursuant to Code Section 582(c). Long-term capital gains of certain non-corporate taxpayers generally are subject to a lower maximum tax rate than ordinary income of such taxpayers for property held for more than one year. The tax rate for corporations is the same with respect to both ordinary income and capital gains.

Taxes That May Be Imposed on a REMIC

Prohibited Transactions

Income from certain transactions by either Trust REMIC, called prohibited transactions, will not be part of the calculation of income or loss includible in the federal income tax

549 

returns of holders of the Class R certificates, but rather will be taxed directly to the Trust REMIC at a 100% rate. Prohibited transactions generally include (i) the disposition of a qualified mortgage other than for (a) substitution within two years of the Startup Day for a defective (including a defaulted) obligation (or repurchase in lieu of substitution of a defective (including a defaulted) obligation at any time) or for any qualified mortgage within 3 months of the Startup Day, (b) foreclosure, default or imminent default of a qualified mortgage, (c) bankruptcy or insolvency of the REMIC, or (d) a qualified (complete) liquidation, (ii) the receipt of income from assets that are not the type of mortgages or investments that the REMIC is permitted to hold, (iii) the receipt of compensation for services or (iv) the receipt of gain from disposition of cash flow investments other than pursuant to a qualified liquidation. Notwithstanding (i) and (iv), it is not a prohibited transaction to sell REMIC property to prevent a default on regular interests as a result of a default on qualified mortgages or to facilitate a qualified liquidation or a clean-up call. The Income Tax Regulations indicate that the modification of a mortgage loan generally will not be treated as a disposition if it is occasioned by a default or reasonably foreseeable default, an assumption of a mortgage loan or the waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause. It is not anticipated that the Trust REMICs will engage in any prohibited transactions.

Contributions to a REMIC After the Startup Day

In general, a REMIC will be subject to a tax at a 100% rate on the value of any property contributed to the REMIC after the Startup Day. Exceptions are provided for cash contributions to the REMIC (i) during the 3 months following the Startup Day, (ii) made to a qualified reserve fund by a holder of a Class R certificate, (iii) in the nature of a guarantee, (iv) made to facilitate a qualified liquidation or clean-up call, and (v) as otherwise permitted in Treasury regulations yet to be issued. It is not anticipated that there will be any taxable contributions to the Trust REMICs.

Net Income from Foreclosure Property

The Lower-Tier REMIC will be subject to federal income tax at the corporate rate on “net income from foreclosure property”, determined by reference to the rules applicable to real estate investment trusts. Generally, property acquired by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure would be treated as “foreclosure property” until the close of the third calendar year beginning after the Lower-Tier REMIC’s acquisition of an REO Property, with a possible extension. Net income from foreclosure property generally means gain from the sale of a foreclosure property that is inventory property and gross income from foreclosure property other than qualifying rents and other qualifying income for a real estate investment trust.

In order for a foreclosed property to qualify as foreclosure property, any operation of the foreclosed property by the Lower-Tier REMIC generally must be conducted through an independent contractor. Further, such operation, even if conducted through an independent contractor, may give rise to “net income from foreclosure property”, taxable at the corporate rate. Payment of such tax by the Lower-Tier REMIC would reduce amounts available for distribution to Certificateholders.

The special servicer will be required to determine generally whether the operation of foreclosed property in a manner that would subject the Lower-Tier REMIC to such tax would be expected to result in higher after-tax proceeds than an alternative method of operating such property that would not subject the Lower-Tier REMIC to such tax.

Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (the “2015 Budget Act”), which was enacted on November 2, 2015, included new audit rules affecting entities treated as partnerships, their partners and the persons that are authorized to represent entities treated as partnerships in IRS audits and related procedures. Under the 2015 Budget Act, effective for taxable years beginning with 2018, these rules also apply to REMICs, the holders of their residual interests and the trustees authorized to represent REMICs in IRS audits and related procedures.

In addition to other changes, under the 2015 Budget Act, (1) unless a REMIC elects otherwise, taxes arising from IRS audit adjustments are required to be paid by the REMIC rather than by its residual interest holders, (2) instead of appointing a "tax matters person", a REMIC appoints one person to act as its sole representative (the "partnership representative") in connection with IRS audits and related procedures and the partnership representative’s actions, including agreeing to adjustments to REMIC taxable income, are more binding on residual interest holders than were the actions of the "tax matters person" under prior law and (3) if the IRS makes an adjustment to a REMIC’s taxable year, the holders of residual interests for the audited taxable year may have to take the adjustment into account for the taxable year in which the adjustment is made rather than for the audited taxable year.

The certificate administrator has the authority to utilize, and is directed to utilize, any exceptions available under the new provisions (including any changes) and IRS regulations so that holders of the Class R certificates, to the fullest extent possible, rather than either Trust REMIC itself, will be liable for any taxes arising from audit adjustments to either Trust REMIC’s taxable income. It is unclear how any such exceptions may affect the procedural rules available to challenge any audit adjustment that would otherwise be available in the absence of any such exceptions. Investors should discuss with their own tax advisors the possible effect of the new rules on them.

Taxation of Certain Foreign Investors

Interest, including original issue discount, distributable to the Regular Interestholders that are nonresident aliens, foreign corporations or other Non-U.S. Persons will be considered “portfolio interest” and, therefore, generally will not be subject to a 30% United States withholding tax; provided that such Non-U.S. Person (i) is not a “10 percent shareholder” within the meaning of Code Section 871(h)(3)(B) or a controlled foreign corporation described in Code Section 881(c)(3)(C) with respect to the Trust REMICs and (ii) provides the certificate administrator, or the person that would otherwise be required to withhold tax from such distributions under Code Section 1441 or 1442, with an appropriate statement, signed under penalties of perjury, identifying the beneficial owner and stating, among other things, that the beneficial owner of the Regular Interest is a Non-U.S. Person. The appropriate documentation includes IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, if the Non-U.S. Person is an entity (such as a corporation) or individual, respectively, eligible for the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption or an exemption based on a treaty; IRS Form W-8ECI if the Non-U.S. Person is eligible for an exemption on the basis of its income from the Regular Interest being effectively connected to a United States trade or business; IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY if the Non-U.S. Person is a trust, depending on whether such trust is classified as the beneficial owner of the Regular Interest; and Form W-8IMY, with supporting documentation as specified in the Treasury regulations, required to substantiate exemptions from withholding on behalf of its partners, if the Non-U.S. Person is a partnership. With respect to IRS Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY and W-8ECI, each (other than IRS Form W-8IMY) expires after 3 full calendar years or as otherwise provided

551 

by applicable law. An intermediary (other than a partnership) must provide IRS Form W-8IMY, revealing all required information, including its name, address, taxpayer identification number, the country under the laws of which it is created, and certification that it is not acting for its own account. A “qualified intermediary” must certify that it has provided, or will provide, a withholding statement as required under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1(e)(5)(v), but need not disclose the identity of its account holders on its IRS Form W-8IMY, and may certify its account holders’ status without including each beneficial owner’s certification. A “non-qualified intermediary” must additionally certify that it has provided, or will provide, a withholding statement that is associated with the appropriate IRS Forms W-8 and W-9 required to substantiate exemptions from withholding on behalf of its beneficial owners. The term “intermediary” means a person acting as a custodian, a broker, nominee or otherwise as an agent for the beneficial owner of a Regular Interest. A “qualified intermediary” is generally a foreign financial institution or clearing organization or a non-U.S. branch or office of a U.S. financial institution or clearing organization that is a party to a withholding agreement with the IRS.

If such statement, or any other required statement, is not provided, 30% withholding will apply unless reduced or eliminated pursuant to an applicable tax treaty or unless the interest on the Regular Interest is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by such Non-U.S. Person. In the latter case, such Non-U.S. Person will be subject to United States federal income tax at regular rates. Investors that are Non-U.S. Persons should consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences to them of owning a Regular Interest.

A “U.S. Person” is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership (except to the extent provided in the applicable Treasury regulations) or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any State or the District of Columbia, including any entity treated as a corporation or partnership for federal income tax purposes, an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of the source of income, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and one or more such U.S. Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust (or, to the extent provided in the applicable Treasury regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 that have elected to be treated as U.S. Persons). The term “Non-U.S. Person” means a person other than a U.S. Person.

FATCA

Under the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” (“FATCA”) provisions of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act, a 30% withholding tax is generally imposed on certain payments, including U.S.-source interest and, beginning on January 1, 2019, gross proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption, receipt of principal on or other disposition of debt obligations that give rise to U.S.-source interest to “foreign financial institutions” and certain other foreign financial entities if those foreign entities fail to comply with the requirements of FATCA. The certificate administrator will be required to withhold amounts under FATCA on payments made to holders who are subject to the FATCA requirements and who fail to provide the certificate administrator with proof that they have complied with such requirements. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of FATCA to their certificates.

Backup Withholding

Distributions made on the certificates, and proceeds from the sale of the certificates to or through certain brokers, may be subject to a “backup” withholding tax under Code

552 

Section 3406 at the rate of 24% on “reportable payments” (including interest distributions, original issue discount and, under certain circumstances, principal distributions) unless the Certificateholder is a U.S. Person and provides IRS Form W-9 with the correct taxpayer identification number; in the case of the Regular Interests, is a Non-U.S. Person and provides IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, identifying the Non-U.S. Person and stating that the beneficial owner is not a U.S. Person; or can be treated as an exempt recipient within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii). Any amounts to be withheld from distribution on the certificates would be refunded by the IRS or allowed as a credit against the Certificateholder’s federal income tax liability. Information reporting requirements may also apply regardless of whether withholding is required. Holders are urged to contact their own tax advisors regarding the application to them of backup withholding and information reporting.

Information Reporting

Holders who are individuals (and certain domestic entities that are formed or availed of for purposes of holding, directly or indirectly, “specified foreign financial assets”) may be subject to certain foreign financial asset reporting obligations with respect to their certificates held through a financial account maintained by a foreign financial institution if the aggregate value of their certificates and their other “specified foreign financial assets” exceeds $50,000. Significant penalties can apply if a holder fails to disclose its specified foreign financial assets. We urge you to consult your tax advisor with respect to this and other reporting obligations with respect to your certificates.

3.8% Medicare Tax on “Net Investment Income”

Certain non-corporate U.S. holders will be subject to an additional 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income”, which may include the interest payments and any gain realized with respect to the certificates, to the extent of their net investment income that, when added to their other modified adjusted gross income, exceeds $200,000 for an unmarried individual, $250,000 for a married taxpayer filing a joint return (or a surviving spouse), or $125,000 for a married individual filing a separate return. The 3.8% Medicare tax is determined in a different manner than the regular income tax. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to their consequences with respect to the 3.8% Medicare tax.

Reporting Requirements

Each Trust REMIC will be required to maintain its books on a calendar year basis and to file federal income tax returns in a manner similar to a partnership. The form for such returns is IRS Form 1066, U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC) Income Tax Return. The trustee will be required to sign each Trust REMIC’s returns.

Reports of accrued interest, original issue discount, if any, and information necessary to compute the accrual of any market discount on the Regular Interests will be made annually to the IRS and to individuals, estates, non-exempt and non-charitable trusts, and partnerships that are either Regular Interestholders or beneficial owners that own Regular Interests through a broker or middleman as nominee. All brokers, nominees and all other nonexempt Regular Interestholders (including corporations, non-calendar year taxpayers, securities or commodities dealers, placement agents, real estate investment trusts, investment companies, common trusts, thrift institutions and charitable trusts) may request such information for any calendar quarter by telephone or in writing by contacting the person designated in IRS Publication 938 with respect to the REMIC. Holders through nominees must request such information from the nominee.

553 

Treasury regulations require that, in addition to the foregoing requirements, information must be furnished annually to the Regular Interestholders and filed annually with the IRS concerning the percentage of each Trust REMIC’s assets meeting the qualified asset tests described under “—Qualification as a REMIC” above.

These regulations also require that the certificate administrator make available information regarding interest income and information necessary to compute any original issue discount to (i) exempt recipients (including middlemen) and non-calendar year taxpayers, upon request, in accordance with the requirements of the regulations and (ii) Certificateholders who do not hold their certificates through a middleman. The information must be provided to parties specified in clause (i) on or before the later of the 30th day after the close of the calendar year to which the request relates and 14 days after the receipt of the request. The information must be provided to parties specified in clause (ii) on or before March 15 of the calendar year for which the statement is being furnished.

DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THESE RULES AND THE CURRENT UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE MANNER OF THEIR APPLICATION TO THE ISSUING ENTITY AND CERTIFICATEHOLDERS, IT IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT THAT POTENTIAL INVESTORS CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX TREATMENT OF THEIR ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE CERTIFICATES.

Certain State and Local Tax Considerations

In addition to the federal income tax consequences described in “Material Federal Income Tax Considerations” above, purchasers of Offered Certificates should consider the state and local income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of the Offered Certificates. State and local income tax law may differ substantially from the corresponding federal law, and this discussion does not purport to describe any aspect of the income tax laws of any state or locality.

It is possible that one or more jurisdictions may attempt to tax nonresident holders of offered certificates solely by reason of the location in that jurisdiction of the depositor, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the sponsors, a related borrower or a mortgaged property or on some other basis, may require nonresident holders of certificates to file returns in such jurisdiction or may attempt to impose penalties for failure to file such returns; and it is possible that any such jurisdiction will ultimately succeed in collecting such taxes or penalties from nonresident holders of offered certificates. We cannot assure you that holders of offered certificates will not be subject to tax in any particular state, local or other taxing jurisdiction.

You should consult with your tax advisor with respect to the various state and local, and any other, tax consequences of an investment in the Offered Certificates.

Method of Distribution (Underwriter)

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the depositor and the underwriters, the depositor has agreed to sell to the underwriters, and the underwriters have severally, but not jointly, agreed to purchase from the depositor the respective Certificate Balance or the Notional Amount, as applicable, of each class of Offered Certificates set forth below subject in each case to a variance of 5%.

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters will be subject to certain conditions precedent and that the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all Offered Certificates if any are purchased. In the event of a default by any underwriter, the Underwriting Agreement provides that, in certain circumstances, purchase commitments of the non-defaulting underwriter(s) may be increased or the Underwriting Agreement may be terminated.

Additionally, the parties to the PSA have severally agreed to indemnify the underwriters, and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify the depositor and controlling persons of the depositor, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and have agreed, if required, to contribute to payments required to be made in respect of these liabilities.

The depositor has been advised by the underwriters that they propose to offer the Offered Certificates to the public from time to time in one or more negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at varying prices to be determined at the time of sale. Proceeds to the depositor from the sale of Offered Certificates will be approximately 108.4% of the initial aggregate Certificate Balance of the Offered Certificates, plus accrued interest on the Offered Certificates from December 1, 2018, before deducting expenses payable by the depositor (such expenses estimated at $4,913,731, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions). The underwriters may effect the transactions by selling the Offered Certificates to or through dealers, and the dealers may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters. In connection with the purchase and sale of the Offered Certificates offered by this prospectus, the underwriters may be deemed to have received compensation from the depositor in the form of underwriting discounts.

We anticipate that the Offered Certificates will be sold primarily to institutional investors. Purchasers of Offered Certificates, including dealers, may, depending on the facts and circumstances of those purchases, be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with reoffers and resales by them of Offered Certificates. If you purchase Offered Certificates, you should consult with your legal advisors in this regard prior to any reoffer or resale. The underwriters expect to make, but are not obligated to make, a secondary market in the Offered Certificates. See “Risk Factors—Other Risks

555 

Relating to the Certificates—The Certificates May Have Limited Liquidity and the Market Value of the Certificates May Decline”.

Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act as in effect on the date of this prospectus, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two (2) business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Offered Certificates in the secondary market prior to such delivery should specify a longer settlement cycle, or should refrain from specifying a shorter settlement cycle, to the extent that failing to do so would result in a settlement date that is earlier than the date of delivery of such Offered Certificates.

The primary source of ongoing information available to investors concerning the Offered Certificates will be the monthly statements discussed under “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”. We cannot assure you that any additional information regarding the Offered Certificates will be available through any other source. In addition, we are not aware of any source through which price information about the Offered Certificates will be generally available on an ongoing basis. The limited nature of that information regarding the Offered Certificates may adversely affect the liquidity of the Offered Certificates, even if a secondary market for the Offered Certificates becomes available.

Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, one of the underwriters, is an affiliate of Wells Fargo Bank, which is a sponsor, a mortgage loan seller, the holder of one of the Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio Companion Loans, the master servicer, the certificate administrator, the custodian and the certificate registrar under this securitization. Barclays Capital Inc., one of the underwriters, is an affiliate of Barclays, which is a sponsor and a mortgage loan seller.

A portion of the net proceeds of this offering (after the payment of underwriting compensation and transaction expenses) is intended to be directed to affiliates of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, which is one of the underwriters, a co-lead manager and joint bookrunner for this offering, and affiliates of Barclays Capital Inc., which is one of the underwriters, a co-lead manager and joint bookrunner. That direction will occur by means of the collective effect of the payment by the underwriters to the depositor, an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, of the purchase price for the Offered Certificates and the following payments:

(1)       the payment by Argentic or an affiliate thereof, to Wells Fargo Bank, an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, in Wells Fargo Bank’s capacity as the purchaser under a repurchase agreement with the subject mortgage loan seller or an affiliate thereof, of the repurchase price for the Mortgage Loans to be repurchased by the subject mortgage loan seller, or an affiliate thereof, under that facility prior to or simultaneously with their sale to the depositor, which payment will be made using a portion of the purchase price to be paid by the depositor to the subject mortgage loan seller in connection with the sale of those Mortgage Loans to the depositor by the subject mortgage loan seller;

(2)       the payment by the depositor to Wells Fargo Bank, an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, in that affiliate’s capacity as a mortgage loan seller, of the purchase price for the Wells Fargo Bank Mortgage Loans;

(3)       the payment by the depositor to Barclays, an affiliate of Barclays Capital Inc., in that affiliate’s capacity as a mortgage loan seller, of the purchase price for the Barclays Mortgage Loans; and

556 

(4)       the payment by Basis Real Estate Capital or an affiliate thereof to Wells Fargo Bank, an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, in Wells Fargo Bank’s capacity as the purchaser under a repurchase agreement with Basis Real Estate Capital or an affiliate thereof, of the repurchase price for the Mortgage Loans to be repurchased by Basis Real Estate Capital or an affiliate thereof under that facility prior to or simultaneously with their sale to the depositor, which payment will be made using a portion of the purchase price to be paid by the depositor to Basis Real Estate Capital in connection with the sale of those Mortgage Loans to the depositor by Basis Real Estate Capital.

Certain ERISA Considerations

General

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or ERISA, and Code Section 4975 impose certain requirements on retirement plans, and on certain other employee benefit plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans, collective investment funds, insurance company separate accounts and some insurance company general accounts in which those plans, accounts or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or to Code Section 4975 (all of which are referred to as “Plans”), and on persons who are fiduciaries with respect to Plans, in connection with the investment of Plan assets. Certain employee benefit plans, such as governmental plans (as defined in ERISA Section 3(32)), and, if no election has been made under Code Section 410(d), church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) are not subject to ERISA requirements. However, those plans may be subject to the provisions of other applicable federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”) materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code. Moreover, those plans, if qualified and exempt from taxation under Code Sections 401(a) and 501(a), are subject to the prohibited transaction rules set forth in Code Section 503.

ERISA generally imposes on Plan fiduciaries certain general fiduciary requirements, including those of investment prudence and diversification and the requirement that a Plan’s investments be made in accordance with the documents governing the Plan. In addition, ERISA and the Code prohibit a broad range of transactions involving assets of a Plan and persons (“Parties in Interest”) who have certain specified relationships to the Plan, unless a statutory, regulatory or administrative exemption is available. Certain Parties in Interest that participate in a prohibited transaction may be subject to an excise tax imposed pursuant to Code Section 4975, unless a statutory, regulatory or administrative exemption is available. These prohibited transactions generally are set forth in Section 406 of ERISA and Code Section 4975. Special caution should be exercised before the assets of a Plan are used to purchase an Offered Certificate if, with respect to those assets, the depositor, any servicer or the trustee or any of their affiliates, either: (a) has investment discretion with respect to the investment of those assets of that Plan; or (b) has authority or responsibility to give, or regularly gives, investment advice with respect to those assets for a fee and pursuant to an agreement or understanding that the advice will serve as a primary basis for investment decisions with respect to those assets and that the advice will be based on the particular investment needs of the Plan; or (c) is an employer maintaining or contributing to the Plan.

With respect to the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan (3.4%), persons who have an ongoing relationship with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (“CalPERS”), which is

559 

a governmental plan, should note that such plan owns a 99% interest in Institutional Mall Investors, LLC (“IMI”), which is expected to purchase a 24.995% equity interest in the borrower after the closing date of the Mortgage Loan. Such persons should consult with counsel regarding whether this relationship would affect their ability to purchase or hold the certificates.

With respect to the Prudential - Digital Realty Portfolio Mortgage Loan (3.0%), the Prudential Insurance Company of America has an ownership interest in an upstream owner of each of the borrowers.

Before purchasing any Offered Certificates with Plan assets, a Plan fiduciary should consult with its counsel and determine whether there exists any prohibition to that purchase under the requirements of ERISA or Code Section 4975, whether any prohibited transaction class exemption or any individual administrative prohibited transaction exemption (as described below) applies, including whether the appropriate conditions set forth in those exemptions would be met, or whether any statutory prohibited transaction exemption is applicable. Fiduciaries of plans subject to a Similar Law should consider the need for, and the availability of, an exemption under such applicable Similar Law.

Plan Asset Regulations

A Plan’s investment in Offered Certificates may cause the assets of the issuing entity to be deemed Plan assets. Section 2510.3-101 of the regulations of the United States Department of Labor (“DOL”), as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, provides that when a Plan acquires an equity interest in an entity, the Plan’s assets include both the equity interest and an undivided interest in each of the underlying assets of the entity, unless certain exceptions not applicable to this discussion apply, or unless the equity participation in the entity by “benefit plan investors” (that is, Plans and entities whose underlying assets include plan assets) is not “significant”. For this purpose, in general, equity participation in an entity will be “significant” on any date if, immediately after the most recent acquisition of any certificate, 25% or more of any class of certificates is held by benefit plan investors.

In general, any person who has discretionary authority or control respecting the management or disposition of Plan assets, and any person who provides investment advice with respect to those assets for a fee, is a fiduciary of the investing Plan. If the assets of the issuing entity constitute Plan assets, then any party exercising management or discretionary control regarding those assets, such as the master servicer, the special servicer or any sub-servicer, may be deemed to be a Plan “fiduciary” with respect to the investing Plan, and thus subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Code Section 4975. In addition, if the assets of the issuing entity constitute Plan assets, the purchase of Offered Certificates by a Plan, as well as the operation of the issuing entity, may constitute or involve a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code.

Administrative Exemptions

The U.S. Department of Labor has issued to the predecessor of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC an individual prohibited transaction exemption, PTE 96-22, 61 Fed. Reg. 14,828 (April 3, 1996), as amended by PTE 97-34, 62 Fed. Reg. 39,021 (July 21, 1997), PTE 2000-58, 65 Fed. Reg. 67,765 (November 13, 2000), PTE 2002-41, 67 Fed. Reg. 54,487 (August 22, 2002), PTE 2007-05, 72 Fed. Reg. 13,130 (March 20, 2007) and PTE 2013-08, 78 Fed. Reg. 41,090 (July 9, 2013) (the “Exemption”). The Exemption generally exempts from the application of the prohibited transaction provisions of Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA, and the excise taxes imposed on prohibited transactions pursuant to Code

560 

Sections 4975(a) and (b), certain transactions, among others, relating to the servicing and operation of pools of mortgage loans, such as the pool of mortgage loans held by the issuing entity, and the purchase, sale and holding of mortgage pass-through certificates, such as the Offered Certificates, underwritten by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, provided that certain conditions set forth in the Exemption are satisfied. The depositor expects that the Exemption generally will apply to the Offered Certificates.

The Exemption sets forth five general conditions that must be satisfied for a transaction involving the purchase, sale and holding of the Offered Certificates to be eligible for exemptive relief. First, the acquisition of the Offered Certificates by a Plan must be on terms (including the price paid for the Offered Certificates) that are at least as favorable to the Plan as they would be in an arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated party. Second, the Offered Certificates at the time of acquisition by the Plan must be rated in one of the four highest generic rating categories by at least one NRSRO that meets the requirements of the Exemption (an “Exemption Rating Agency”). Third, the trustee cannot be an affiliate of any other member of the Restricted Group other than an underwriter. The “Restricted Group” consists of any underwriter, the depositor, the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer, any sub-servicer, any entity that provides insurance or other credit support to the issuing entity and any borrower with respect to mortgage loans constituting more than 5% of the aggregate unamortized principal balance of the mortgage loans as of the date of initial issuance of the Offered Certificates, and any affiliate of any of the foregoing entities. Fourth, the sum of all payments made to and retained by the underwriters must represent not more than reasonable compensation for underwriting the Offered Certificates, the sum of all payments made to and retained by the depositor pursuant to the assignment of the mortgage loans to the issuing entity must represent not more than the fair market value of the mortgage loans and the sum of all payments made to and retained by the master servicer, the special servicer and any sub-servicer must represent not more than reasonable compensation for that person’s services under the PSA and reimbursement of the person’s reasonable expenses in connection therewith. Fifth, the investing Plan must be an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

It is a condition of the issuance of the Offered Certificates that they have the ratings described above required by the Exemption and the depositor believes that each of the Rating Agencies qualifies as an Exemption Rating Agency. Consequently, the second general condition set forth above will be satisfied with respect to the Offered Certificates as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, the third general condition set forth above will be satisfied with respect to the Offered Certificates. In addition, the depositor believes that the fourth general condition set forth above will be satisfied with respect to the Offered Certificates. A fiduciary of a Plan contemplating purchasing an Offered Certificate in the secondary market must make its own determination that, at the time of purchase, the Offered Certificates continue to satisfy the second general condition set forth above. A fiduciary of a Plan contemplating purchasing an Offered Certificate, whether in the initial issuance of the Offered Certificates or in the secondary market, must make its own determination that the first and fifth general conditions set forth above will be satisfied with respect to the related Offered Certificate.

The Exemption also requires that the issuing entity meet the following requirements: (1) the issuing entity must consist solely of assets of the type that have been included in other investment pools; (2) certificates in those other investment pools must have been rated in one of the four highest categories by at least one of the Exemption Rating Agencies for at least one year prior to the Plan’s acquisition of Offered Certificates; and (3) certificates in those other investment pools must have been purchased by investors other than Plans for at least one year prior to any Plan’s acquisition of Offered Certificates.

561 

The depositor believes that the conditions to the applicability of the Exemption will generally be met with respect to the Offered Certificates, other than those conditions which are dependent on facts unknown to the depositor or which it cannot control, such as those relating to the circumstances of the Plan purchaser or the Plan fiduciary making the decision to purchase any such Offered Certificates.

If the general conditions of the Exemption are satisfied, the Exemption may provide an exemption from the restrictions imposed by Sections 406(a) and 407(a) of ERISA (as well as the excise taxes imposed by Code Sections 4975(a) and (b) by reason of Code Sections 4975(c)(1)(A) through (D)) in connection with (1) the direct or indirect sale, exchange or transfer of Offered Certificates in the initial issuance of certificates between the depositor or the underwriters and a Plan when the depositor, any of the underwriters, the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer, a sub-servicer or a borrower is a party in interest with respect to the investing Plan, (2) the direct or indirect acquisition or disposition in the secondary market of the Offered Certificates by a Plan and (3) the holding of Offered Certificates by a Plan. However, no exemption is provided from the restrictions of Sections 406(a)(1)(E), 406(a)(2) and 407 of ERISA for the acquisition or holding of an Offered Certificate on behalf of an “Excluded Plan” by any person who has discretionary authority or renders investment advice with respect to the assets of the Excluded Plan. For purposes of this prospectus, an “Excluded Plan” is a Plan sponsored by any member of the Restricted Group.

If certain specific conditions of the Exemption are also satisfied, the Exemption may provide an exemption from the restrictions imposed by Sections 406(b)(1) and (b)(2) of ERISA and the taxes imposed by Code Section 4975(c)(1)(E) in connection with (1) the direct or indirect sale, exchange or transfer of Offered Certificates in the initial issuance of certificates between the depositor or the underwriters and a Plan when the person who has discretionary authority or renders investment advice with respect to the investment of Plan assets in those certificates is (a) a borrower with respect to 5% or less of the fair market value of the mortgage loans or (b) an affiliate of that person, (2) the direct or indirect acquisition or disposition in the secondary market of Offered Certificates by a Plan and (3) the holding of Offered Certificates by a Plan.

Further, if certain specific conditions of the Exemption are satisfied, the Exemption may provide an exemption from the restrictions imposed by Sections 406(a), 406(b) and 407(a) of ERISA, and the taxes imposed by Code Sections 4975(a) and (b) by reason of Code Section 4975(c) for transactions in connection with the servicing, management and operation of the pool of mortgage loans.

A fiduciary of a Plan should consult with its counsel with respect to the applicability of the Exemption. The fiduciary of a plan not subject to ERISA or Code Section 4975, such as a governmental plan, should determine the need for and availability of exemptive relief under applicable Similar Law. A purchaser of an Offered Certificate should be aware, however, that even if the conditions specified in one or more exemptions are satisfied, the scope of relief provided by an exemption may not cover all acts which might be construed as prohibited transactions.

Each purchaser of Offered Certificates that is a Plan will be deemed to have represented and warranted that (i) none of the depositor, the mortgage loan sellers, the Trust, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the certificate registrar, the asset representations reviewer, the operating advisor, the underwriters, the master servicer, the special servicer, or any of their respective affiliated entities, has provided any investment recommendation or investment advice on which the Plan or the fiduciary making the investment decision for the Plan has relied in connection with the decision to acquire Offered Certificates, and they

562 

are not otherwise acting as a fiduciary (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA or Section 4975(e)(3) of the Code) to the Plan in connection with the Plan’s acquisition of Offered Certificates (unless an applicable prohibited transaction exemption is available (all of the conditions of which are satisfied) to cover the purchase and holding of the Offered Certificates or the transaction is not otherwise prohibited), and (ii) the Plan fiduciary making the decision to acquire the Offered Certificates is exercising its own independent judgment in evaluating the investment in the Offered Certificates.

The sale of the Offered Certificates to a Plan is in no respect a representation or warranty by the depositor, the underwriters, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the special servicer or the master servicer that this investment meets any relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by Plans generally or any particular Plan, that the Exemption would apply to the acquisition of this investment by ERISA Plans in general or any particular ERISA Plan, or that this investment is appropriate for Plans generally or for any particular Plan.

Insurance Company General Accounts

Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60 exempt from the application of the prohibited transaction provisions of Sections 406(a), 406(b) and 407(a) of ERISA and Code Section 4975 transactions in connection with the acquisition of a security (such as a certificate issued by the issuing entity) as well as the servicing, management and operation of a trust (such as the issuing entity) in which an insurance company general account has an interest as a result of its acquisition of certificates issued by the issuing entity, provided that certain conditions are satisfied. If these conditions are met, insurance company general accounts investing assets that are treated as assets of Plans would be allowed to purchase certain classes of certificates which do not meet the ratings requirements of the Exemption. All other conditions of the Exemption would have to be satisfied in order for PTCE 95-60 to be available. Before purchasing any class of Offered Certificates, an insurance company general account seeking to rely on Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 should itself confirm that all applicable conditions and other requirements have been satisfied.

Section 401(c) of ERISA provides certain exemptive relief from the provisions of Part 4 of Title I of ERISA and Code Section 4975, including the prohibited transaction restrictions imposed by ERISA and the related excise taxes imposed by the Code, for transactions involving an insurance company general account. Pursuant to Section 401(c) of ERISA, the DOL issued regulations (“401(c) Regulations”), generally effective July 5, 2001, to provide guidance for the purpose of determining, in cases where insurance policies supported by an insurance company’s general account are issued to or for the benefit of a Plan on or before December 31, 1998, which general account assets constitute Plan assets. Any assets of an insurance company general account which support insurance policies issued to a Plan after December 31, 1998 or issued to Plans on or before December 31, 1998 for which the insurance company does not comply with the 401(c) Regulations may be treated as Plan assets. In addition, because Section 401(c) of ERISA does not relate to insurance company separate accounts, separate account assets are still generally treated as Plan assets of any Plan invested in that separate account. Insurance companies contemplating the investment of general account assets in the Offered Certificates should consult with their counsel with respect to the applicability of Section 401(c) of ERISA.

Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties imposed upon persons involved in prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that potential investors who are Plan fiduciaries or who are investing Plan assets consult with their counsel regarding the consequences under ERISA and the Code of their acquisition and ownership of certificates.

563 

THE SALE OF OFFERED CERTIFICATES TO A PLAN IS IN NO RESPECT A REPRESENTATION BY THE DEPOSITOR OR ANY OF THE UNDERWRITERS THAT THIS INVESTMENT MEETS ANY RELEVANT LEGAL REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO INVESTMENTS BY PLANS GENERALLY OR ANY PARTICULAR PLAN, OR THAT THIS INVESTMENT IS APPROPRIATE FOR PLANS GENERALLY OR ANY PARTICULAR PLAN.

Legal Investment

None of the classes of Offered Certificates will constitute “mortgage related securities” for purposes of the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act of 1984, as amended (“SMMEA”). Generally, the only classes of Offered Certificates which will qualify as “mortgage related securities” will be those that (1) are rated in one of the two highest rating categories by at least one NRSRO; and (2) are part of a series evidencing interests in a trust consisting of loans originated by certain types of originators specified in SMMEA and secured by first liens on real estate.

Although Section 939(e) of the Dodd-Frank Act amended SMMEA, effective July 21, 2012, so as to require the SEC to establish creditworthiness standards by that date in substitution for the foregoing ratings test, the SEC has neither proposed nor adopted a rule establishing new creditworthiness standards for purposes of SMMEA as of the date of this prospectus. However, the SEC has issued a transitional interpretation (Release No. 34-67448 (effective July 20, 2012)), which provides that, until such time as final rules establishing new standards of creditworthiness become effective, the standard of creditworthiness for purposes of the definition of the term “mortgage related security” is a security that is rated in one of the two highest rating categories by at least one NRSRO. Depending on the standards of creditworthiness that are ultimately established by the SEC, it is possible that certain classes of Offered Certificates specified to be “mortgage related securities” for purposes of SMMEA may no longer qualify as such as of the time such new standards are effective.

The appropriate characterization of the Offered Certificates under various legal investment restrictions, and thus the ability of investors subject to those restrictions to purchase the Offered Certificates, are subject to significant interpretive uncertainties. We make no representation as to the proper characterization of the Offered Certificates for legal investment, financial institution regulatory, or other purposes, or as to the ability of particular investors to purchase any Offered Certificates under applicable legal investment restrictions. Further, any ratings downgrade of a class of Offered Certificates by an NRSRO to less than an “investment grade” rating (i.e., lower than the top four rating categories) may adversely affect the ability of an investor to purchase or retain, or otherwise impact the regulatory characteristics of, that class. The uncertainties described above (and any unfavorable future determinations concerning the legal investment or financial institution regulatory characteristics of the Offered Certificates) may adversely affect the liquidity and market value of the Offered Certificates.

Accordingly, if your investment activities are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, regulatory capital requirements, or review by regulatory authorities, you should consult with your own legal advisors in determining whether and to what extent the Offered Certificates constitute legal investments or are subject to investment, capital, or other regulatory restrictions.

The issuing entity will not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The issuing entity will be relying on an exclusion or exemption from the definition of “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as

564 

amended contained in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions available to the issuing entity. The issuing entity is being structured so as not to constitute a “covered fund” for purposes of the Volcker Rule under the Dodd-Frank Act.

Legal Matters

The validity of the Offered Certificates and certain federal income tax matters will be passed upon for the depositor by Sidley Austin LLP, New York, New York, and certain other legal matters will be passed upon for the underwriters by Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, Charlotte, North Carolina.

Ratings

It is a condition to their issuance that the Offered Certificates (other than the Class X-B, Class B and Class C certificates) receive investment grade credit ratings from the three (3) Rating Agencies engaged by the depositor to rate the Offered Certificates, and it is a condition to their issuance that the Class X-B, Class B and Class C certificates receive investment grade credit ratings from the two (2) of the Rating Agencies engaged by the depositor to rate such Offered Certificates.

We are not obligated to maintain any particular rating with respect to any class of Offered Certificates. Changes affecting the Mortgaged Properties, the parties to the PSA or another person may have an adverse effect on the ratings of the Offered Certificates, and thus on the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of the Offered Certificates, although such adverse changes would not necessarily be an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan.

The ratings address the likelihood of full and timely receipt by the Certificateholders of all distributions of interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rate on the Offered Certificates to which they are entitled on each Distribution Date and the ultimate payment in full of the Certificate Balance of each class of Offered Certificates on a date that is not later than the Rated Final Distribution Date with respect to such class of certificates. The Rated Final Distribution Date will be the Distribution Date in January 2052. See “Yield and Maturity Considerations” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Advances”. Any ratings of each Offered Certificates should be evaluated independently from similar ratings on other types of securities.

The ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, a measure of asset value or an indication of the suitability of an investment, and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by any Rating Agency. In addition, these ratings do not address: (a) the likelihood, timing, or frequency of prepayments (both voluntary and involuntary) and their impact on interest payments or the degree to which such prepayments might differ from those originally anticipated, (b) the possibility that a Certificateholder might suffer a lower than anticipated yield, (c) the likelihood of receipt of Yield Maintenance Charges, prepayment charges, Prepayment Premiums, prepayment fees or penalties, default interest or post-anticipated repayment date additional interest, (d) the likelihood of experiencing any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, an assessment of whether or to what extent the interest payable on any class of Offered Certificates may be reduced in connection with any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, or of receiving Compensating Interest Payments, (e) the tax treatment of the Offered Certificates or effect of taxes on the payments received, (f) the likelihood or willingness of the parties to the respective documents to meet their contractual obligations or the likelihood or willingness of any party

565 

or court to enforce, or hold enforceable, the documents in whole or in part, (g) an assessment of the yield to maturity that investors may experience, (h) the likelihood, timing or receipt of any payments of interest to the holders of the Offered Certificates resulting from an increase in the interest rate on any Mortgage Loan in connection with a Mortgage Loan modification, waiver or amendment, (i) Excess Interest, or (j) other non-credit risks, including, without limitation, market risks or liquidity.

The ratings take into consideration the credit quality of the underlying Mortgaged Properties and the Mortgage Loans, structural and legal aspects associated with the Offered Certificates, and the extent to which the payment stream of the Mortgage Loans is adequate to make payments required under the Offered Certificates. However, as noted above, the ratings do not represent an assessment of the likelihood, timing or frequency of principal prepayments (both voluntary and involuntary) by the borrowers, or the degree to which such prepayments might differ from those originally anticipated. In general, the ratings address credit risk and not prepayment risk. Ratings are forward-looking opinions about credit risk and express an agency’s opinion about the ability and willingness of an issuer of securities to meet its financial obligations in full and on time. Ratings are not indications of investment merit. In addition, the ratings do not represent an assessment of the yield to maturity that investors may experience or the possibility that investors might not fully recover their initial investment in the event of delinquencies or defaults or rapid prepayments on the Mortgage Loans (including both voluntary and involuntary prepayments) or the application of any Realized Losses. In the event that holders of such certificates do not fully recover their investment as a result of rapid principal prepayments on the Mortgage Loans, all amounts “due” to such holders will nevertheless have been paid, and such result is consistent with the ratings assigned to such certificates. As indicated in this prospectus, holders of the certificates with Notional Amounts are entitled only to payments of interest on the related Mortgage Loans. If the Mortgage Loans were to prepay in the initial month, with the result that the holders of the certificates with Notional Amounts receive only a single month’s interest and therefore, suffer a nearly complete loss of their investment, all amounts “due” to such holders will nevertheless have been paid, and such result is consistent with the rating received on those certificates. The Notional Amounts of the certificates with Notional Amounts on which interest is calculated may be reduced by the allocation of Realized Losses and prepayments, whether voluntary or involuntary. The ratings do not address the timing or magnitude of reductions of such Notional Amount, but only the obligation to pay interest timely on the Notional Amount, as so reduced from time to time. Therefore, the ratings of the certificates with Notional Amounts should be evaluated independently from similar ratings on other types of securities. See “Risk Factors—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Your Yield May Be Affected by Defaults, Prepayments and Other Factors” and “Yield and Maturity Considerations”.

Although the depositor will prepay fees for ongoing rating surveillance by certain of the Rating Agencies, the depositor has no obligation or ability to ensure that any Rating Agency performs ratings surveillance. In addition, a Rating Agency may cease ratings surveillance if the information furnished to that Rating Agency is insufficient to allow it to perform surveillance.

Any of the three NRSROs that we hired may issue unsolicited credit ratings on one or more classes of certificates that we did not hire it to rate. Additionally, other NRSROs that we have not engaged to rate the Offered Certificates may nevertheless issue unsolicited credit ratings on one or more classes of Offered Certificates relying on information they receive pursuant to Rule 17g-5 or otherwise. If any such unsolicited ratings are issued, we cannot assure you that they will not be different from those ratings assigned by the Rating Agencies. The issuance of unsolicited ratings of a class of the Offered Certificates that are

566 

lower than the ratings assigned by the Rating Agencies may adversely impact the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of that class. As part of the process of obtaining ratings for the Offered Certificates, the depositor had initial discussions with and submitted certain materials to six NRSROs. Based on preliminary feedback from those six NRSROs at that time, the depositor hired the Rating Agencies to rate the Offered Certificates and not the other three NRSROs due, in part, to those NRSROs’ initial subordination levels for the various classes of Offered Certificates. Had the depositor selected such other NRSROs to rate the Offered Certificates, we cannot assure you as to the ratings that such other NRSROs would ultimately have assigned to the Certificates. In the case of one NRSRO hired by the depositor, the depositor only requested ratings for certain classes of rated Offered Certificates, due in part to the final subordination levels provided by that NRSRO for the classes of Offered Certificates. If the depositor had selected that NRSRO to rate those other classes of Offered Certificates not rated by it, its ratings of those other Offered Certificates may have been different, and potentially lower, than those ratings ultimately assigned to those certificates by the other two NRSROs hired by the depositor. Although unsolicited ratings may be issued by any NRSRO, an NRSRO might be more likely to issue an unsolicited rating if it was not selected after having provided preliminary feedback to the depositor.

		FOOTNOTES TO ANNEX A-1
	See “Annex A-3: Summaries of the Fifteen Largest Mortgage Loans” in the Prospectus for additional information on the 15 largest mortgage loans.
(1)	"AREF" denotes Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC, “WFB” denotes Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, "Barclays" denotes Barclays Bank PLC,  "Basis" denotes Basis Real Estate Capital II, LLC and "BSPRT" denotes BSPRT Finance, LLC.
(2)	For mortgage loan #1 (Miami Industrial Portfolio), the Number of Units and Occupancy % include two mortgaged properties (486,853 and 258,744 square feet) located approximately one mile apart, which are owned and operated as a single asset by the borrower sponsor. The Number of Units consists of 635,894 square feet of industrial warehouse space and 109,703 square feet of showroom space.
	For mortgage loan #37 (Heartland Village Apartments), the Heartland Village Apartments Mortgaged Property is entirely occupied by students.
(3)	For mortgage loan #10 (1600 Terrell Mill Road), the 24-month interest-only period commences on August 6, 2022 and ends on July 6, 2024.
(4)	For mortgage loan #8 (Christiana Mall), the late payment charge will be waived by the lender for the first three late payments provided that the borrower commences timely payment of interest at the default rate.
(5)	For mortgage loan #6 (Starwood Hotel Portfolio), the Appraised Value presented for the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Mortgage Loan reflects a portfolio level appraisal, which includes a diversity premium based on an assumption that all the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Mortgaged Properties would be sold together as a portfolio.  The aggregate of the individual Starwood Hotel Portfolio Mortgaged Property appraised values is $377,700,000.  In addition, the Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel Mortgaged Property Appraised Value assumes a property improvement plan (“PIP”) scheduled for completion in September 2019 has been completed.  All outstanding PIP costs have been reserved for at origination.  The appraised value assuming the PIP for the Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel Mortgaged Property has not been completed is $27,700,000.
	For mortgage loan #6 (Starwood Hotel Portfolio), the Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel Mortgaged Property has been offline for renovations since August 2016 and partially reopened in October 2018 and is expected to fully reopen in December 2018. The underwritten values for the Mortgaged Property are based on estimates in the related appraisal.
	For mortgage loan #7 (Franklin Towne Center), the lien of the Franklin Towne Center Mortgaged Property includes the borrower’s fee interest in the land but does not include the improvements (although the borrower owns the improvements). The terms of the net lease with Stop & Shop prohibit the borrower from mortgaging the improvements. The Cut-off Date LTV and Balloon LTV are based on the appraised value of $47,800,000, which includes the improvements. The appraised value of the land (if such land were subject to a ground lease pursuant to which the ground tenant would be responsible for the costs of constructing the improvements thereon, if any) is $35,500,000, which would result in a Cut-off Date LTV and Balloon LTV of 81.7% and 57.3%, respectively.
	For mortgage loan #20 (Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio), the August 1, 2019 Stabilized Appraised Value of $45,600,000 for the Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront Mortgaged Property assumes that $1,000,000 (50.0% of expected PIP work) would be escrowed by the lender and would be available to a prospective buyer to fund the PIP work at the Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront Mortgaged Property. The Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio borrowers deposited upfront PIP reserves totalling $741,954, which represents 50.0% of the engineer’s updated estimated costs of the remaining PIP work of $1,483,907. The balance of the remaining PIP work

A-1-57

	will be funded by the monthly FF&E reserve in an amount of 1/12th of 5.0% of the gross income from operations (initially $104,329 for the portfolio). For the Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront Mortgaged Property, the appraiser concluded an as-is appraised value without the PIP assumption of $44,600,000, which results in a total appraised value for the Virginia Beach Hotel Portfolio of $129,400,000, and a Cut-off Date LTV Ratio and LTV Ratio at Maturity or ARD of 69.6% and 60.0%, respectively.
	For mortgage loan #36 (Hampton Inn & Suites - Sterling Heights), the Appraised Value represents the “As-Stabilized” value, assuming the self-directed performance improvement plan, which is expected to be completed by January 1, 2019, has been completed.  The “As-Is” appraised value assuming the self-directed performance improvement plan has not been completed, is $11,800,000.  The Cut-off Date LTV Ratio and LTV Ratio at Maturity or ARD based on the $11,800,000 “As-Is” appraised value are 63.6% and 53.5%, respectively.
(6)	For mortgage loan #2 (Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown), 23.2% of the total revenue at the Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown Mortgaged Property is generated by food and beverage components.

⁽¹⁾ For purposes of determining whether a mortgaged property is in Northern California or Southern California, Northern California includes areas with zip codes above 93600 and Southern California includes areas with zip codes of 93600 and below.

⁽²⁾ Because this table presents information relating to the mortgaged properties and not the mortgage loans, the information for mortgage loans secured by more than one mortgaged property is based on allocated amounts (allocating the mortgage loan principal balance to each of those properties according to the relative appraised values of the mortgaged properties or the allocated loan amounts or property-specific release prices set forth in the related mortgage loan documents or in such other manner as the related mortgage loan seller deemed appropriate).

The Property. The Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown Property is a 482-key, full-service hotel property with an adjacent parking garage located in downtown Nashville, Tennessee on a 1.1-acre site. The Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown Property was originally constructed in 1975 as a Hyatt hotel and reportedly operated as a Crowne Plaza hotel prior to its conversion to a Sheraton flagged hotel in 1999/2000. The Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown Property was subsequently renovated between 2014 and 2017. In 2014, all guestrooms and most public areas were completely renovated. The Skye meeting room and ballroom, located on the top floor and offering a 360-degree view of Nashville, were added in early 2017. The total cost of the renovations was $36,200,000, or $75,104 per room. Post renovations, the Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown Property received the Sheraton Grand designation (an elite classification for full service hotels in the Sheraton brand) in 2017 and is one of five Sheraton Grand hotels in the United States. The hotel offers 482 guestrooms, a restaurant, a lounge, an indoor pool, a fitness center, a business center, a sundry shop, and approximately 23,554 SF of dedicated meeting space. The 482 guestrooms are located on floors 3 through 25 and include 475 standard king or double-double rooms, six executive or one-bedroom suites, and a presidential suite. All rooms feature Sheraton’s Sweet Sleeper Bed, wired and wireless high speed Internet access, oversized work desks, LCD televisions, and in-room movies. The 24th floor contains a two-bay Sheraton Club lounge.

The top floor of the hotel was formerly a revolving restaurant that was converted to a bar and meeting room called Skye in 2017. Skye is open nightly for cocktails. The 23,554 SF meeting space is spread amongst 10 rooms, the largest of which is 10,680 SF. A 455-space, eight-level parking garage is located adjacent to and attached to the hotel. Parking is operated under a short term parking agreement with a local parking/valet company. Currently, parking rates for guests are $39.00 for overnight valet or self-parking. As of the trailing twelve months ending August 31, 2018, parking revenue totaled $2.3 million.

The Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown Property’s main entrance is along Union Street, with primary entrance to the parking structure along 7th Avenue North across a large park (Legislative Plaza) from the state capitol. The neighborhood is dominated by government buildings, most notably the Tennessee State Capitol. The surrounding buildings include the Military Branch Museum, Tennessee Performing Arts Center, Nashville Public Library, and a number of office buildings.

(2) See “Escrows” section.

(4) The Free Rent and Outstanding TI Reserve are associated with the Eyepoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and SAI Global tenants.

(5) Based on information obtained from the borrower sponsor, the increase in NOI in 2017 against 2016 was primarily due to the decrease in real estate taxes resulting from a land sale that took place as well as a parcel reconfiguration by the previous owner. Furthermore, the increase in NOI from TTM 8/31/2018 to the underwritten number is primarily attributed to the Evepoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Education Resource Strategies, Inc. expansions and rent steps totalling $188,343.

(6) The U/W NOI DSCR, U/W NCF DSCR, U/W NOI Debt Yield, U/W NCF Debt Yield, Cut-off Date LTV Ratio, and LTV Ratio at Maturity or ARD were calculated based on the Cut-off Date Balance net of a $5,629,000 letter of credit, which the borrower delivered as additional collateral for the Riverworks Mortgage Loan, in lieu of an earnout holdback by the lender at origination. Assuming the full holdback balance is not applied to pay down the full loan amount, the U/W NOI DSCR, U/W NCF DSCR, U/W NOI Debt Yield, U/W NCF Debt Yield, Cut-off Date LTV Ratio, and LTV Ratio at Maturity or ARD would be 1.85x, 1.73x, 9.1%, 8.5%, 60.0% and 60.0%, respectively. See “Escrows” section.

The Mortgage Loan. The mortgage loan (the “Riverworks Mortgage Loan”) is evidenced by a single promissory note secured by a first mortgage encumbering the fee simple interest in a multi-tenant office building located in Watertown, Massachusetts (the “Riverworks Property”).

(1) U/W Base Rent includes contractual rent steps totaling $188,343 through September 2019.

(2) Other income includes $88,626 of Bonus Rent from the Markforged, Inc. sublease in connection with Mimecast’s space and $18,000 of storage rent.

(3) The underwritten economic vacancy is 5.0%. The Riverworks Property was 96.3% physically occupied as of September 27, 2018.

(4) Based on information obtained from the sponsor, the decrease in Total Operating Expenses in 2017 against 2016 was primarily due to decrease in real estate taxes resulting from a land sale that took place as well as a parcel reconfiguration by the previous owner.

(5) The increase in NOI from TTM 8/31/2018 to the underwritten number is primarily attributed to the Eyepoint Pharmaceuticals and Education Resource Strategies expansions and rent steps totalling $188,343.

(6) The U/W NOI DSCR, U/W NCF DSCR, U/W NOI Debt Yield, U/W NCF Debt Yield, Cut-off Date LTV Ratio, and LTV Ratio at Maturity or ARD were calculated based on the Cut-off Date Balance net of a $5,629,000 letter of credit, which the borrower delivered as additional collateral for the Riverworks Mortgage Loan, in lieu of an earnout holdback by the lender at origination. Assuming the full holdback balance is not applied to pay down the full loan amount, the U/W NOI DSCR, U/W NCF DSCR, U/W NOI Debt Yield, U/W NCF Debt Yield, Cut-off Date LTV Ratio, and LTV Ratio at Maturity or ARD would be 1.85x, 1.73x, 9.1%, 8.5%, 60.0% and 60.0%, respectively.

Furthermore, in lieu of cash, the borrower provided evergreen letters of credit in the amounts of $2,000,000 for a TI/LC reserve (the “TI/LC Letter of Credit”) and $5,629,000 for an earnout reserve (the “Earnout Letter of Credit”). The borrower has the right to reduce the face amount of the TI/LC Letter of Credit from time to time in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Riverworks Mortgage Loan documents, by an amount equal to $2.00 for every $1.00 that the borrower expends towards approved leasing expenses. The borrower has the right to obtain a release of the TI/LC Letter of Credit by depositing with lender funds in an amount equal to 50.0% of the face amount of the TI/LC Letter of Credit then being released.

(4) See “Escrows” section.

(5) The Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel property (the “RDM Property”) was closed for renovations from August 2016 through mid-October 2018, and was therefore excluded from the total portfolio historic occupancy in 2016, 2017 and May 31, 2018.

(6) The increase from Most Recent NOI to UW NOI was due to the inclusion of the RDM Property in underwriting. The RDM Property was closed for renovations from August 2016 through mid-October 2018, and was therefore excluded from the historical 2016, 2017 and TTM 5/31/2018 cash flows. The RDM Property’s underwritten cash flows are based on cash flow estimates set forth in the related appraisal. See “The Properties” and “Cash Flow Analysis” below.

(7) The individual property level appraised values total $377,700,000, which would equate to a Cut-off Date LTV Ratio and LTV Ratio at Maturity of 70.2%; however, the appraisal concluded to a portfolio value of $401,000,000 based on the assumption that the entire portfolio is marketed to a single purchaser.

The Borrowers. The borrowers comprise 22 single-purpose Delaware limited partnerships, each of which is structured to be bankruptcy remote with two independent directors (collectively, the “Starwood Hotel Portfolio Borrower”). Each of the 22 borrower entities is indirectly owned by a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”), which requires each borrower entity to lease the related hotel via an operating lease to a taxable REIT subsidiary. Legal counsel to the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Borrower delivered a non-consolidation opinion in connection with the origination of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan.

The Borrower Sponsor. The borrower sponsor and nonrecourse guarantor is SCG Hotel Investors Holdings L.P., an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group (“Starwood”). Starwood is a private alternative investment firm with a core focus on global real estate, energy infrastructure, and oil and gas. Starwood and its affiliates have raised over $45 billion of equity capital since its inception in 1991, currently manage approximately $56 billion in assets, and have more than 3,800 employees in 11 offices around the world. Over the past 26 years, Starwood has acquired approximately $92 billion of assets across various real estate classes. As of April 2018, SCG Hotel Investors Holdings L.P. indirectly owned 276 hotels totaling more than 23,990 keys across 40 states.

Escrows. At origination, the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Borrower deposited upfront reserves of $5,408,895 for property improvement plans related to the Fairfield Inn Atlanta Downtown ($983,740), Courtyard Rocky Mount ($184,616), and Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel ($4,240,539). The Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan documents also provide for ongoing monthly reserves for furniture, fixtures and equipment (“FF&E”) equal to the greater of (i) 1/12th of 4% of aggregate gross revenue for the 12-month period ending in the month that is two months prior to the applicable payment date and (ii) the aggregate monthly deposit amount required under the franchise agreements for FF&E work (currently $330,760).

The Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan documents do not require ongoing monthly escrows for insurance premiums as long as (i) no Cash Trap Event Period (as defined below) has occurred and is continuing; (ii) the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Borrower provides the lender with evidence that the insurance coverage for the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Properties is included in a blanket policy and such policy is in full force and effect; and (iii) the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Borrower pays all applicable insurance premiums and provides the lender with evidence of renewals. The Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan documents do not require ongoing monthly escrows for taxes as long as no Cash Trap Event Period has occurred and is continuing. Upon the continuance of a Cash Trap Event Period, ongoing tax and insurance reserves are required in an amount equal to 1/12th of the estimated property taxes and insurance premiums payable during the ensuing 12 months.

Lockbox and Cash Management. A soft lockbox with springing cash management is in place with respect to the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan. The Starwood Hotel Portfolio Borrower, property manager and operating lessee are required to deposit property income into the lockbox account within three business days after receipt, and commercial tenants and credit card providers are required to deposit rents and income directly into the lockbox during the continuance of an event of default. During a Cash Trap Event Period, all excess cash flow is required to be held in the excess cash flow sub account as additional security for the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan.

A “Cash Trap Event Period” will commence upon the earliest of the following:

(i) the occurrence of an event of default under the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan;

(ii) the net cash flow debt yield falling below 8.0% for the immediately preceding calendar quarter; or

(iii) two or more franchise agreements having expired or having been terminated at any given overlapping time during the loan term.

A-3-55 

Starwood Hotel Portfolio

A Cash Trap Event Period will end upon the occurrence of the following:

● with regard to clause (i), the cure of such event of default;

● with regard to clause (ii), the net cash flow debt yield being equal to or greater than 8.0% for two consecutive calendar quarters (which may be achieved by a prepayment or delivery of a letter of credit in an amount which, if applied to the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan balance, would satisfy such debt yield test); and

● with regard to clause (iii), (A) the replacement of at least one of the applicable expired or terminated franchise agreements in accordance with the loan documents, or (B) the release of the applicable individual property in accordance with the loan documents (see “Partial Release”).

Property Management. Each of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Properties is subject to an individual management agreement with Schulte Hospitality Group, Inc. (“Schulte”). As of 2018, Schulte was the 12th largest hotel management company in the United States, with 108 hotels under management totaling over 15,320 keys across 26 states. Schulte has completed 62 renovations and 18 ground-up constructions since inception in 1999.

Assumption. The Starwood Hotel Portfolio Borrower has the right to transfer any of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Properties provided that certain conditions are satisfied, including (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) the lender’s reasonable determination that the proposed transferee and guarantor satisfy the lender’s credit review and underwriting standards, taking into consideration of transferee experience, financial strength and general business standing; and (iii) if requested by the lender, rating agency confirmation from Fitch, KBRA and Moody’s that the transfer will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings assigned to the Series 2018-C48 Certificates and similar confirmations from each rating agency rating any securities backed by the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Companion Loans with respect to the ratings of such securities.

Partial Release. After the Defeasance Lockout Date or Prepayment Lockout Date (as applicable), the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Borrower may obtain the release of any of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Properties, provided that, among other things, and in accordance with the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan documents, (a) no event of default has occurred and is continuing (unless a non-monetary default specifically related to the released property is ongoing, in which event the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Borrower may obtain the release of such property under certain conditions, which if exercised prior to the Prepayment Lockout Date may be by partial prepayment only along with any applicable yield maintenance premium); (b) the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan is either partially defeased or partially prepaid (along with any applicable yield maintenance premium) in an amount equal to the Release Price (as defined below); (c) the net cash flow debt yield for the remaining Starwood Hotel Portfolio Properties immediately following the release is equal to or greater than the greater of (i) 10.81% and (ii) the net cash flow debt yield immediately prior to the release; provided, however, that the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Borrower has the right to partially defease or prepay the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan further or deliver cash or a letter of credit as additional collateral in order to meet such debt yield test; (d) a legal opinion covering compliance in all respects with all laws, rules and regulations governing REMICs has been delivered; and (e) with respect to a partial defeasance, rating agency confirmation is received. All releases subsequent to the first release are required to match the release format, prepayment or partial defeasance, selected for the first release. The allocated loan amount for each of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Properties is subject to pro rata reduction by the release premium and prepayment or non-release prepayment to account for previous prepayments and partial defeasances.

“Release Price” is an amount equal to the following amounts; provided, however, that if the release of any individual property would cause the aggregate amount partially defeased or prepaid to exceed either the 10% or 20% thresholds outlined below, then the Release Price for such property would be equal to the product of the allocated loan amount and the pro rata weighted average of the release prices outlined below:

● 105% of the allocated loan amount for such property if less than or equal to 10% of the original principal balance of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan has been partially defeased or prepaid;

● 110% of the allocated loan amount for such property if more than 10% but less than or equal to 20% of the original principal balance of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan has been partially defeased or prepaid; and

● 115% of the allocated loan amount for such property if more than 20% of the original principal balance of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan has been partially defeased or prepaid.

The allocated loan amount for each property is subject to pro rata reduction to account for previous prepayments under the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan, including in connection with prior partial releases and partial defeasances.

Real Estate Substitution. Not permitted.

Subordinate and Mezzanine Indebtedness. Not permitted.

Ground Lease. None.

Terrorism Insurance. The Starwood Hotel Portfolio Whole Loan documents require that the “all risk” insurance policy required to be maintained by the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Borrower provides coverage for terrorism in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Properties. The loan documents also require business interruption insurance covering no less than the 18 month period following the occurrence of a casualty event, together with a 12 month extended period of indemnity (provided that if TRIPRA or a similar statute is not in effect, the Starwood Hotel Portfolio Borrower will not be obligated to pay terrorism insurance premiums in excess of two times the premium for the casualty and business interruption coverage on a stand-alone basis). See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Terrorism Insurance May Not Be Available for All Mortgaged Properties” in the Prospectus.

Based on the Net Loan Exposure at Maturity, the LTV Ratio would be approximately 25.8% or $89.28 per square foot.

The Mortgage Loan. The mortgage loan (the “Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan”) is evidenced by a single promissory note secured by the borrower’s fee interest in the land but does not include the related improvements (although such improvements are owned by the borrower) underlying a 138,364 square foot anchored retail center that is 100% master leased to Stop & Shop Supermarket Company, LLC (“Stop & Shop”) through October 31, 2030, located in Franklin Park, New Jersey (the “Franklin Towne Center Property”). The lease is guaranteed by Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize N.V. (rated BBB/Baa1/BBB by Fitch/Moody’s/S&P), Stop & Shop’s parent company. The Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan was originated on November 20, 2018 by Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC (“AREF”). The Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan had an original principal balance of $29,000,000, has an outstanding principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $29,000,000 and accrues interest at an interest rate of 5.410% per annum.

The Property. The Franklin Towne Center Property is a 138,364 square foot retail shopping center located in Franklin Park, New Jersey. The Franklin Towne Center Property was built in 1993 and is situated on a 15.0 acre site. The Franklin Towne Center Property is located at the intersection of Route 27 and S. Middlebush Road, with multiple entrances along both roadways. Traffic counts along Lincoln Highway between S. Middlebush Road and Vliet Road are approximately 52,751 vehicles per day.

The Franklin Towne Center Property has an “L” shape and consists of 48,000 square feet of anchor space, 45,036 square feet of junior anchor space and 45,328 square feet of inline space. The Franklin Towne Center Property also contains 624 parking spaces, representing a 4.5 per 1,000 square foot ratio.

The Franklin Towne Center Property is 100% master leased by Stop & Shop; however, Stop & Shop does not physically occupy the Franklin Towne Center Property. Stop & Shop was the former grocery anchor tenant for the Franklin Towne Center Property but in 2005, relocated to a free-standing supermarket across the street on Route 27. Stop & Shop master leased the entire Franklin Towne Center Property reportedly to prevent a competing grocer from moving into its former location. The Stop & Shop lease has a 25-year lease term that commenced in October 2005 and expires in October 2030. The lease also provides for 11, five-year renewals which term will be automatically extended unless Stop & Shop provides at least 12-months’ notice. Each renewal option period includes annual rent steps averaging over 2.6% per year. Furthermore, the lease has a corporate guaranty from the tenant’s parent company, Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize N.V. (rated BBB/Baa1/BBB by Fitch/Moody’s/S&P), an international food retail conglomerate based in the Netherlands.

Under the terms of the master lease, Stop & Shop is responsible for performing all obligations of the landlord under each of the existing leases and also for entering into a property management agreement at its cost. Accordingly, the borrower’s operating statements are comprised only of rental payments from the master lessee (Stop & Shop), and net operating income is equal to the rental income paid. Stop & Shop is not required to and does not provide property-level operating revenue and expense detail to the borrower. At the time the master lease was executed, Stop & Shop was the anchor tenant and the Franklin Towne Center Property was nearly 100% occupied. Based on the site inspection conducted by AREF on November 14, 2018, a mix of retail and service tenants currently occupy approximately 90% of the inline space. Overall vacancy was estimated at 40% or 55,500 square feet, of which 48,000 vacant square feet is the former Stop & Shop box. The tenant roster includes Ocean State Job Lots, Franklin Dental Group, GNC, Club Metro Fitness, 20/20 Vision Center, Franklin Public Library and Nuevo Mexican Restaurant.

The Norse Realty Group’s portfolio includes 18 commercial retail and office properties totaling approximately 500,000 square feet.

Escrows. The Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for any upfront reserves.

The Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan documents provide for ongoing monthly escrows of $2,883 for replacement reserves, which is waived as of Cut-Off Date and will be waived by the lender if (i) no Trigger Period (as defined below) exists, (ii) the Reserve Waiver Conditions (as defined below) have been satisfied, and (iii) the Specified Tenant (as defined below) lease obligates Specified Tenant to pay for all replacements at the Franklin Towne Center Property and has provided satisfactory evidence to the lender that the Specified Tenant is in compliance with its obligations to perform and pay for all replacements. Under the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan documents, monthly reserves for real estate taxes or insurance premiums will be conditionally waived, provided that Stop & Shop is obligated to maintain and pay in full (a) all real estate taxes and assessments directly to the applicable municipality and (b) the premiums for acceptable insurance policies.

“Reserve Waiver Conditions” mean (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) Specified Tenant’s lease is in full force and effect with no continuing defaults, (iii) the Specified Tenant continues to make the payments and perform the obligations required under the Specified Tenant’s lease, in each case, relating to the obligations and liabilities for which the replacement reserve was established and delivers evidence of the same by no later than the dates required under the loan documents, (iv) the Specified Tenant is not bankrupt or insolvent and (v) the Specified Tenant has not terminated, canceled or defaulted under the Specified Tenant’s Lease (including, without limitation, in connection with any rejection in any bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding).

Lockbox and Cash Management. The Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan is structured with a hard lockbox and springing cash management. The borrower was required at origination to deliver letters to the tenant at the Franklin Towne Center Property directing it to pay all rents directly into a lender-controlled lockbox account. All funds received by the borrower or manager are required to be deposited in the lockbox account within one business day following receipt. During the occurrence and continuance of a Trigger Period (as defined below), all funds are required to be swept each business day into the cash management account controlled by the lender and disbursed on each payment date in accordance with the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan documents, with all excess cash flow to be deposited to an excess cash reserve to be held as additional security for the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan.

A “Trigger Period” will commence following the earliest to occur of any of the following:

(i) an event of default under the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan;

(ii) the debt yield falling below 8.0x;

(iii) the commencement of a Specified Tenant Trigger Period (as defined below);

(iv) an election by Stop & Shop to demolish the improvements and not rebuild the improvements following a casualty;

(v) December 6, 2027, unless the Stop & Shop lease has been renewed for a period not less than five years after the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan stated maturity date and in accordance with certain other requirements in the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan documents (“Stop & Shop Non-Renewal Cash Flow Sweep”); and

(vi) the ARD on October 6, 2028.

From and after the ARD, no Trigger Period will be deemed to have expired. Prior to the ARD, a Trigger Period will only be deemed to have expired upon the occurrence of the following:

(a) with respect to the matters described in clause (i) above, such event of default has been cured and no other event of default having occurred and being continuing;

(b) with respect to the matter described in clause (ii) above, the Franklin Towne Center Property has achieved a debt yield of at least 8.0% for two consecutive calendar quarters;

(c) with respect to the matter described in clause (iii) above, such Specified Tenant Trigger Period (as defined below) having ended; or

(d) with respect to the matter described in clause (v) above, unless the lender has determined that that (a) the Stop & Shop lease has been renewed for a period ending not less than five years after the Stated Maturity Date, and (b) the Stop & Shop lease, as so renewed, requires payment of rent equal to the greater of (i) not less than ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate gross rents payable under the Stop & Shop lease immediately prior to the commencement of such renewal term, and (ii) an amount sufficient to generate a DSCR of 1.25x.

A-3-64 

Franklin Towne Center

A “Specified Tenant Trigger Period” will commence following the earliest to occur of any of the following:

(i) a Specified Tenant (as defined below) being in monetary or material non-monetary default under its lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods;

(ii) Specified Tenant giving notice that it is terminating its lease for any material portion of its space;

(iii) any termination or cancellation of any Specified Tenant lease;

(iv) any bankruptcy or similar insolvency of Specified Tenant;

(v) a Specified Tenant failing to extend or renew its lease upon the earlier of the required renewal notice period or the date which is 12 months prior to the expiration of the then applicable term; or

(vi) a lease guarantor ceasing to maintain a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “Baa3” from Moody’s and an equivalent rating from each of the other rating agencies which rate such entity. In the event that the lease guarantor’s rating remains at least “Ba1” or “Ba2” from Moody’s and an equivalent rating from each of the other rating agencies which rate such entity, 25.0% of all available excess cash flow will be swept, and in the event the rating remains at least “Ba3” from Moody’s and an equivalent rating from each of the other rating agencies which rate such entity, 50.0% of all available excess cash flow will be swept, in each such case subject to a $3,500,000 cap.

A “Specified Tenant Trigger Period” will end if the applicable Specified Tenant:

(a) has cured all defaults under the applicable Specified Tenant lease;

(b) is in actual, physical possession of the Specified Tenant space (or applicable portion thereof), open to the public for business during customary hours and not “dark;”

(c) has revoked or rescinded all termination or cancellation notices with respect to the applicable Specified Tenant lease and has reaffirmed the applicable Specified Tenant lease as being in full force and effect;

(d) if applicable, has renewed or extended the applicable Specified Tenant lease in accordance with the requirements of the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan documents;

(e) if applicable, is no longer insolvent or subject to any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and has affirmed the applicable Specified Tenant lease;

(f) is paying full, unabated rent under the applicable Specified Tenant lease; and

(e) if related to a failure to satisfy certain credit rating conditions, satisfies such requirements under the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan documents.

A “Specified Tenant” means, as applicable, (i) Stop & Shop and (ii) any other lessee(s) of that portion of the Franklin Towne Center Property initially occupied by Stop & Shop (or any portion thereof) and any guarantor(s) of any related lease (s).

Property Management. The Franklin Towne Center Property is managed by CSC Global, an affiliate of the borrower.

Assumption. The borrower has, at any time after 60 days following the securitization of the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan, the right to transfer the Franklin Towne Center Property, not more than two times and provided that certain conditions are satisfied, including: (i) no event of default under the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan documents has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the borrower has provided the lender with prior written notice, (iii) the proposed transferee qualifies as a qualified transferee under the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan documents, (iv) the payment of a transfer fee of 0.5% of the then outstanding principal balance of the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan in the case of the first transfer, and 1.0% of the then outstanding principal balance of the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan in the case of the second transfer, and (v) the lender has received rating agency confirmation that such assumption will not result in a downgrade of the respective ratings assigned to the WFCM Series 2018-C48 certificates.

Partial Release. Not permitted.

Real Estate Substitution. Not permitted.

Ground Lease. None.

Collateral. The collateral for the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan consists of the borrower’s interest in the land and related interests, but the mortgage lien on the Franklin Towne Center Property does not include the related improvements as required pursuant to the Stop and Shop lease. The appraisal concluded a value for the collateral specifically secured by the mortgage lien on the Franklin Towne Center Property of $35,500,000. Based on that appraised value, the Cut-off Date LTV and Balloon LTV would be 81.7% and 57.3%, respectively. The borrower has covenanted, in a declaration that was recorded by the lender, not to encumber the improvements, and to convey those improvements to the lender upon a foreclosure on the Franklin Towne Center Property or delivery of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. If the borrower breaches either of those covenants, the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan is fully recourse to the borrower and the borrower sponsors. However, because a REMIC cannot acquire foreclosure property if a mortgage lien did not exist on such property immediately before default on the related loan was imminent, the trust fund will be required to obtain, prior to acquiring the improvements, an opinion of counsel that the acquisition and ownership of such improvements will not cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC. As a result, in connection with the exercise of remedies following a default, the lender may be required to simultaneously foreclose on the Franklin Towne Center Property and direct the conveyance of the improvements

A-3-65 

Franklin Towne Center

to a third party purchaser, or to sell the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan, which could result in the trust fund realizing less proceeds than would have occurred had it been able to foreclose on the land and improvements. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Retail Properties” in the Prospectus.

Terrorism Insurance. The borrower owns the land and improvements but the collateral security of the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan documents does not include the improvements. Pursuant to its related lease, the sole tenant at the Franklin Towne Center Property, Stop & Shop, is permitted to provide the insurance for the improvements. As of the origination date, terrorism insurance is provided by the tenant, provided, however, the related lease does not require the tenant to maintain such terrorism insurance. In addition, Stop & Shop may self-insure property and liability coverages provided that Stop & Shop maintains a net worth in excess of $100,000,000. In the event the Stop & Shop lease terminates, the Franklin Towne Center Mortgage Loan documents require that the “all risk” insurance policy required to be maintained by the borrower provide coverage for terrorism in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Franklin Towne Center Property.

The Property. The Christiana Mall Property consists of a 779,084 square foot portion of the two-story, 1,275,084 square foot Christiana Mall, located in Newark, Delaware. The Christiana Mall Property is anchored by Target, Cabela’s, and Cinemark and non-collateral anchors include Macy’s, JCPenney, and Nordstrom. Target and Cabela’s each own their improvements and ground lease the land from the borrower. The collateral and non-collateral anchor tenants generate approximately $198.8 million in annual sales. The Christiana Mall Property features over 130 specialty in-line stores including Apple, Anthropologie, Banana Republic, Barnes & Noble, Express, Finish Line, H&M, Microsoft, Pottery Barn, Sephora, Urban Outfitters, Victoria’s Secret, Williams-Sonoma, and XXI Forever. Additionally, the Christiana Mall Property includes dining options such as a 10-bay food court and restaurants including Brio, California Pizza Kitchen, The Cheesecake Factory, J.B. Dawson’s Restaurant, and Panera Bread. Included in the collateral are 6,628 parking spaces (approximately 5.2 spaces per 1,000 SF). Excluding the anchor tenants, no other tenant occupies more than 4.7% of NRA or represents more than 6.0% of underwritten base rent.

The Christiana Mall Property was built in 1978, and underwent an expansion phase from 2007 to 2014. Over $200.0 million was invested, adding several large format tenants including Nordstrom, Target, Cabela’s, and Cinemark, as well as over 160,000 square feet of in-line, restaurant, and exterior facing in-line space.

The Christiana Mall Property was 98.3% leased as of May 31, 2018 to 131 permanent retail and restaurant tenants, and the entire 1,275,084 square feet of the Christiana Mall was 98.9% leased as of May 31, 2018. Since 2014, Christiana Mall has maintained an average occupancy of approximately 99.5% including anchor tenants, with no year-end occupancy falling below 98.9%. As of TTM April 30, 2018, sales for in-line tenants occupying less than 10,000 square feet of space were $885 per square foot with occupancy cost of 13.4% (including Apple and its 10,705 square feet of space, the Christiana Mall Property generated sales per square foot of $2,504 with an occupancy cost of 4.7%).

Market Overview and Competition. The Christiana Mall Property is located in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Route 7 and Interstate 95 in Newark, Delaware. Delaware is one of the only five U.S. states with no sales tax, and the Christiana Mall Property benefits from being the closest super regional shopping center to several surrounding states with sales tax. According to the appraisal, Interstate 95 is the most important limited access highway serving the region and offers direct access to Philadelphia and New York City to the north and Baltimore and Washington D.C. to the south. Christiana Mall is directly off Interstate 95 with over 200,000 vehicles passing by daily. A $150.0 million upgrade to Interstate 95 has been completed, including the addition of an exit dedicated to Christiana Mall. The mall is popular for out-of-state shoppers since it is only approximately 10 miles from Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. US Highway 1, DE Routes 2, 7, and 273, and Interstates 95, 295, and 495 all serve the area. Interstate 295, with access to the Delaware Memorial Bridge, leading to New Jersey, New York, and New England, lies approximately four miles northeast of the mall.

Escrows. The Christiana Mall Whole Loan documents provide for upfront reserves of $1,804,093 for outstanding tenant improvements and/or leasing commissions. During a Cash Sweep Event Period (as defined below) the borrower is required to deposit monthly (i) 1/12^th of the estimated annual real estate taxes, (ii) 1/12^th of the estimated annual insurance premiums (except to the extent that the insurance required is maintained under a blanket insurance policy), (iii) $10,065 for replacement reserves until a cap of $241,565 is reached and (iv) $60,391 for tenant improvements and leasing commissions until a cap of $1,449,387 is reached.

Lockbox and Cash Management. The Christiana Mall Whole Loan is structured to have a hard lockbox and springing cash management. The Christiana Mall Whole Loan documents require the lender to deliver written instructions to tenants to deposit all rents payable under such leases directly into a clearing account. The Christiana Mall Whole Loan documents require that all rents received by the borrower or the property manager be deposited into the lockbox account within three business days of receipt. Funds in the lockbox account, absent the continuance of a Cash Sweep Event Period (as defined below), are required to be transferred daily to a borrower operating account. Upon the first occurrence of a Cash Sweep Event Period, the borrower is required to establish a cash management account under the sole control of the lender, to which during a Cash Sweep Event Period all amounts in the lockbox account are required to be automatically transferred daily for the payment of, among other things, debt service, monthly escrows, default interest and late payment charges. Any remaining funds after such disbursements are required to be distributed to the borrower if no event of default has occurred and is continuing.

A “Cash Sweep Event Period” will occur during the earliest of:

(i) an event of default under the Christiana Mall Mortgage Loan;

(ii) any bankruptcy action of the borrower;

(iii) any bankruptcy action of the guarantors or any replacement guarantor or guarantors; and

(iv) the debt service coverage ratio falling below 1.35x for two consecutive quarters.

A “Cash Sweep Event Period” will end if:

(w) with respect to clause (i) above, such event of default has been cured and no other event of default has occurred and is continuing,

(x) with respect to clause (ii) above, such bankruptcy action is discharged,

(y) with respect to clause (iii) above, (A) the borrower replaces the guarantor subject to such bankruptcy action with either (x) a replacement guarantor having an aggregate net worth of at least $500,000,000 and liquidity of at least $25,000,000, in each case exclusive of such person’s interest in the Christiana Mall Property or otherwise acceptable to lender or (y) PPF Retail, LLC or (so long as Institutional Mall Investors LLC is a qualified equityholder (as defined in the loan documents) and has an aggregate net worth of $500,000,000 exclusive of any interest in the Christiana Mall Property), Institutional Mall Investors LLC and one such substitute guarantor has assumed all obligations of such guarantor under each guaranty and environmental indemnity or executed an acceptable replacement guaranty, the borrower has delivered an insolvency opinion, a rating agency confirmation if required by the lender, and a credit check acceptable to the lender as reasonably required by the lender or (B) such bankruptcy action is discharged, stayed, or dismissed within 90 days of filing provided that such filing does not materially affect guarantor’s ability to pay and perform its obligations in the lender’s reasonable discretion, and

(z) with respect to clause (iv) above, the Christiana Mall Property has achieved a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.35x for two consecutive quarters.

Property Management. The Christiana Mall Property is managed by an affiliate of the borrower.

Partial Release. If no event of default is continuing, the borrower is permitted to release from the lien of the mortgage the Cabela’s parcel and/or the Cinemark parcel (each, an “Outlot Parcel”) (or a portion thereof) in connection with the transfer of the fee simple interest in such Outlot Parcel (or portion thereof) to a transferee which is not an affiliate of the borrower that is either a national tenant or approved by the lender in its reasonable discretion, upon the borrower’s satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things:

(i) The borrower must make a partial prepayment of the Mortgage Loan by an amount equal to the greatest of (i) 125% of the allocated loan amount (i.e., $8,400,000 with respect to the Cabela’s parcel and $6,600,000 with respect to the Cinemark parcel) for such Outlot Parcel, (ii) the net sales proceeds received by the borrower with respect to such transfer and (iii) any “qualified amount” necessary to comply with any applicable REMIC requirement described in clause (iii) below, which partial prepayment, if made prior to the open period, must be accompanied by a payment of the yield maintenance premium payment (calculated based upon the amount prepaid); provided, however, in lieu of making any such prepayment, at the borrower’s election prior to the release of the Outlot Parcel in question, the borrower may either (a) deposit cash with the lender in the amount of such prepayment (exclusive of the yield maintenance premium payment) as additional reserve funds, which the lender will hold in an additional reserve account, or (b) deliver to the lender a letter of credit in the amount of such prepayment (exclusive of the yield maintenance premium payment).

required pursuant to this clause (i) with respect to the Outlot Parcel in question (inclusive of any yield maintenance premium payment that may be due and payable as of the date of such prepayment);

(ii) upon request by lender, delivery of a REMIC opinion;

(iii) the loan-to-value ratio immediately after the release of the applicable Outlot Parcel is less than or equal to 125%, provided that the borrower may prepay the “qualified amount” (with payment of the yield maintenance premium calculated based upon the amount prepaid), in order to meet the foregoing loan-to-value ratio; and

(iv) delivery of rating agency confirmation.

Real Estate Substitution. If no event of default is continuing, the borrower may substitute the fee or leasehold interest to a parcel of real property at or adjacent to the related mall (each an “Acquired Parcel”) in connection with the release of one or more parcels of the Christiana Mall Property (each, an “Exchange Parcel”), provided that, among other conditions, (i) the borrower provides at least 20 days’ prior written notice, (ii) the Acquired Parcel is reasonably equivalent in value to the Exchange Parcel, (iii) the Exchange Parcel must be vacant, non-income producing and unimproved or improved only by landscaping, utility facilities that are readily relocatable or surface parking areas, (iv) the borrower pays the lender a fee in the amount of $10,000, along with any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, (v) the borrower delivers a satisfactory environmental report covering the Acquired Parcel (unless the Acquired Parcel is covered by the environmental report received by the lender in connection with the origination of the mortgage loan) and (vi) after giving effect to such substitution, the loan-to-value ratio is less than or equal to 125%, provided that the borrower may prepay the “qualified amount” in order to meet such loan-to-value ratio.

Target Purchase and Put Options. Target constructed its own store on a 10.15-acre site which is ground leased from the borrower. The ground lease agreement with Target provides that Target has a fair market value purchase option to acquire the fee interest from the borrower in the Target property at any time during the ground lease term. The ground lease with Target has an initial term which runs through December 2036 and also includes five, 10-year and one final, 5-year renewal option. The Target lease does not have any minimum rent but does require Target to make a contribution (currently $139,557 per year) towards the common area maintenance (“CAM”). The Target lease states that, should Target exercise its purchase option, Target would still be obligated to pay its CAM contribution to the borrower through its lease term. The appraisal concluded that the exclusion of Target from the Christiana Mall Property in the appraisal would not affect the value of the Christiana Mall Property.

The lender will release the Target parcel from the lien of the mortgage if and when Target exercises its purchase option pursuant to the terms of the Target lease upon satisfaction of certain conditions, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

(i) the purchase option will not be exercised in the event that (a) the borrower, or controlling affiliate of the borrower, acquires Target’s interest under its lease and (b) such option had not therefore been exercised in accordance with Target’s lease;

(ii) the loan-to-value ratio immediately after the release of the Target parcel must be less than or equal to 125% and the borrower must repay the “qualified amount” (with payment of the yield maintenance premium amount calculated based upon the amount prepaid), in order to meet the foregoing loan-to-value ratio;

(iii) the borrower must cause all proceeds from the sale of the Target parcel to be deposited into the clearing account to be applied in the same manner as rents; and

(iv) the borrower must pay a fee in the amount of $10,000.

Pursuant to the terms set forth in the Target lease, Target has the unilateral right to require the borrower to purchase the improvements located on the Target parcel owned by Target (the “Target Improvements”) and/or, if Target is then the fee owner of the Target parcel (pursuant to the exercise of its purchase option or otherwise), the fee interest in the Target parcel, for the lesser of fair market value or book value (the “Put Option”). On or prior to the anticipated date of the conveyance of the Target Improvements pursuant to the exercise by Target of the Put Option, the borrower must execute and deliver to the lender any amendment or modification to the mortgage or similar documents reasonably necessary in order to confirm that the lien of the mortgage attaches to the Target Improvements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the lender.

Subordinate and Mezzanine Indebtedness. Barclays Bank PLC, Société Générale and Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch funded the subordinate Christiana Mall B Notes to Christiana Mall LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The Christiana Mall B Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.2775% per annum. The Christiana Mall B Notes are coterminous with the Christiana Mall Senior Loan. The holders of the Christiana Mall Senior Loan and the Christiana Mall B Notes have entered into a co-lender agreement which sets forth the allocation of collections on the Christiana Mall Whole Loan.

The borrower has the one-time right to obtain a mezzanine loan subject to terms and conditions set forth in the loan documents including that (i) no event of default is continuing, (ii) the principal amount of the permitted mezzanine debt cannot be greater than an amount equal to the amount which will yield (x) an aggregate LTV ratio that does not exceed 95.0% of the origination date LTV ratio and (y) an aggregate forward looking DSCR ratio that is not less than 105.0% of the origination date DSCR as determined by the lender, (iii) the lender has received a rating agency confirmation, (iv) the execution of a market intercreditor agreement acceptable to the lender, (v) the mezzanine loan will be interest-only and coterminous with the Christiana Mall Whole Loan maturity date, and (vi) the mezzanine borrower must acquire and maintain an interest rate cap or swap agreement if the mezzanine loan bears a floating interest rate.

Ground Lease. The Christiana Mall property is subject to a ground lease with Macy’s Retail Holdings, Inc. effective through December 31, 2028. The 4.154-acre portion of the parking lot is owned by Macy’s (non-collateral tenant of 215,000 square feet) and ground leased to the borrower pursuant to a parking lease agreement dated as of July 30, 2010. Macy’s can terminate the parking lease at any time with 12 months’ notice. The tenant is not obligated to pay a monthly or annual rent under the ground lease.

Terrorism Insurance. The Christiana Mall borrower is required to obtain and maintain property insurance for full replacement cost, public liability insurance, and rental loss and/or business interruption insurance for 36 months plus 12 months of extended indemnity that covers perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism, provided, in the event that the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 or similar is not in effect, the borrower will only be obligated to carry terrorism insurance if commercially available and, in such event, subject to a cap equal to two times the premium for the property and business interruption and rental loss coverage.

(1) Information obtained from the appraisal.

The Borrower. The borrower is Terrell Mill LLC a Delaware limited liability company and single purpose entity. Asher Roshanzamir is the non-recourse carveout guarantor on the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan.

The Borrower Sponsor. Asher Roshanzamir (also known as Asher Zamir) is the Chairman and CEO of Zamir Equities a privately-held real estate equity firm based in New York City, founded in 2003. Currently, Zamir Equities owns and manages a portfolio in excess of $300 million and properties totaling over 1.5 million square feet with assets primarily located in New York and New Jersey. With respect to the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan, the guarantor recently settled several tax liens relating to the disposition of a non-performing asset and pursuant to a review of a 1031 exchange by the New York State Attorney General.   The guarantor has paid all back taxes and settled the matter with the State of New York.  See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Litigation and Other Considerations” in the Prospectus.

Escrows. The 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage loan documents provide for upfront escrows at origination in the amounts of $93,480 for taxes, $23,371 for insurance, $3,438 for an immediate repair reserve held by the lender, $1,529,160 for tenant improvements relating to tenant First Data Corporation and $178,557 for rent abatements. The 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage loan documents require ongoing monthly escrows of $31,160 for taxes, $2,921 for insurance premiums, $4,195 for replacement reserves, and $25,417 for tenant improvements and leasing commissions. The rent abatement reserve of $178,577 relates to a tenant, First Data Corporation, which was granted a rent abatement for 50,972 square feet of its space equal to free rent for the first two months of the lease term and then one month of free rent applied each June through the end of the lease term.

Lockbox and Cash Management. The 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan is structured with a hard lockbox and springing cash management. The 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan documents require the borrower to direct all tenants to pay rent directly into the lender-controlled lockbox account, and also require that all rents received by the borrower or the property manager be deposited into the lockbox account within one business day of receipt. Prior to the occurrence of a Cash Sweep Period (as defined below), all funds in the lockbox account are distributed to the borrower. During a Cash Sweep Period, all funds in the lockbox account are swept to a lender-controlled cash management account on a daily basis and applied as provided in the loan documents.

A ”Cash Sweep Period” will commence upon the occurrence of (i) an event of default, (ii) the net cash flow debt service coverage ratio falling below 1.20x for the immediately preceding two (2) consecutive calendar quarters calculated at lender’s discretion (a “Cash Sweep DSCR Trigger Event”); (iii) the date on which Q Squared Solutions LLC (f/k/a Quintiles) and/or First Data Corporation (each an “Anchor Tenant”) provides notice of its intent to terminate its lease; (iv) the date on which an Anchor Tenant becomes insolvent or a debtor in a bankruptcy action; (v) an Anchor Tenant failing to provide notice of its intent to renew its lease at least twelve months prior to the expiration of an Anchor Tenant lease; (vi) any Anchor Tenant defaulting under its lease; or (vii) an Anchor Tenant providing notice of its intent to close its business to the general public (clauses (iii) through (vii) each is referred to as “Anchor Tenant Trigger Event”). During a Cash Sweep Period, funds will be available to pay real estate taxes, insurance premiums, loan principal and interest payments, property operating expenses, approved capital improvements, and required reserves. During the continuation of a Cash Sweep Period caused by a Cash Sweep DSCR Trigger Event, all excess cash flow will be retained and held by the lender as additional security for the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan. During a Cash Sweep Period caused by an Anchor Tenant Trigger Event all excess cash will be swept into the anchor tenant rollover reserve to be used exclusively for the re-tenanting of the Anchor Tenant that

1600 Terrell Mill Road

caused the Anchor Tenant Trigger Event up to the following required amounts specific to each Anchor Tenant: $4,000,000 for Q Squared Solutions LLC or $3,300,000 for First Data Corporation (the “Required Amounts”).

If the lender, after the occurrence of an Anchor Tenant Trigger Event, determines that sufficient excess cash flow is not available to escrow the Required Amounts within twelve months of an Anchor Tenant Trigger Event then the borrower and guarantor will be required to post cash or an acceptable Letter of Credit within fifteen business days after lender’s written request, in the required anchor tenant rollover contribution less any amounts then held in the anchor tenant rollover reserve. The borrower may avoid a Cash Sweep Period caused solely by an Anchor Tenant Trigger Event by voluntarily posting with lender cash or an acceptable Letter of Credit on no less than ten days prior written notice to lender. 

A Cash Sweep Period will end upon: with regard to clause (i), the lender’s acceptance of a cure of the applicable event of default; with respect to clause (ii), the property achieving a net cash flow debt service coverage ratio of 1.25x or greater for two consecutive quarters calculated at lender’s discretion; with respect to clauses (iii), (v) through (vii), such Anchor Tenant or another acceptable tenant(s) (A) being in occupancy of its space and (B) being open for business to the general public in said Anchor Tenant premises and paying the full, unabated rent under its lease, or (C) the borrower and borrower guarantor having deposited cash or a letter of credit in the amount of the Required Amounts; with respect to clause (iv), such Anchor Tenant having affirmed the Anchor Tenant lease in bankruptcy and certified to lender that the Anchor Tenant lease is in full force and effect with no existing defaults, physically occupied by such Anchor Tenant and open for business to the general public and paying full unabated rent.

Property Management. The 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan is managed by Greenway USA, LLC, a third party property management firm.

Assumption. The borrower has the right to transfer the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan; provided that certain conditions are satisfied, including, without limitation: (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) payment of a transfer fee equal to 0.5% of the then outstanding principal amount of the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan with respect to the first transfer and a fee equal to 1% of the then outstanding principal amount of the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Mortgage Loan for each subsequent transfer; (iii) the lender reasonably determines that the proposed transferee and guarantor satisfy the lender’s credit review and underwriting standards, taking into consideration the transferee’s experience, financial strength and general business standing; and (iv) receipt of rating agency confirmation that the sale and assumption will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings assigned to the Series 2018-C48 certificates.

Partial Release. Not applicable.

Real Estate Substitution. Not permitted.

Subordinate and Mezzanine Indebtedness. None.

Ground Lease. In connection with receiving certain tax abatements through the PILOT program offered through the Development Authority of Cobb County, Georgia (the “Development Authority”), the borrower transferred its fee interest in the portion of the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Property occupied by the largest tenant to the Development Authority and the Development Authority then entered into a ground lease with the borrower for the same portion of the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Property. The Development Authority also consented to granting the lender an interest in the fee interest of the ground leased property. At origination, lender had a perfected security interest in the fee and leasehold interests located at the 1600 Terrell Mill Property. In addition, upon termination of these tax abatements on December 1, 2018, the borrower is required to purchase the fee interest in this portion of the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Property back from the Development Authority for $100.

Tax Abatement: See “Ground Lease” section.

Terrorism Insurance. The loan documents require that the “all risk” insurance policy required to be maintained by the borrower provide coverage with no exclusion for terrorism in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the 1600 Terrell Mill Road Property as well as business interruption covering no less than the 18 month period following the occurrence of a casualty event, together with a 365 day extended period of indemnity.

According to the appraisal, the Prudential – Digital Realty Portfolio Properties are all estimated to be Tier III shell data centers.

(1) Information obtained from the appraisal.

(2) The studio units are closer in size to the typical one-bedroom units in the neighborhood; therefore, the appraiser concluded at the low end of the one-bedroom range for the subject’s studio units.

(3) The “flex” 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom units have layouts that allow for tenants to create an additional sleeping area and still have a living room; therefore, the appraiser concluded towards the higher end of or slightly above the range for these units. This is further supported by the recent leasing within the property.

(1) Debt Service Coverage Ratios are updated periodically as new NOI figures become available from borrowers on an asset level. In all cases the most current DSCR provided by the Servicer is used. To the extent that no DSCR is provided by the Servicer, information from the offering document is used. The Trustee makes no representations as to the accuracy of the data provided by the borrower for this calculation.

(2) Anticipated Remaining Term and WAM are each calculated based upon the term from the current month to the earlier of the Anticipated Repayment Date, if applicable, and the Maturity Date.

(3) Data in this table was calculated by allocating pro-rata the current loan information to the properties based upon the Cut-Off Date balance of each property as disclosed in the offering document.

The Scheduled Balance Totals reflect the aggregate balances of all pooled loans as reported in the CREFC Loan Periodic Update File. To the extent that the Scheduled Balance Total figure for the “State” and “Property” stratification tables is not equal to the sum of the scheduled balance figures for each state or property, the difference is explained by loans that have been modified into a split loan structure. The “State” and “Property” stratification tables do not include the balance of the subordinate note (sometimes called the B-piece or a “hope note”) of a loan that has been modified into a split-loan structure. Rather, the scheduled balance for each state or property only reflects the balance of the senior note (sometimes called the A-piece) of a loan that has been modified into a split-loan structure.

Note: There are no Hyper-Amortization Loans included in the Mortgage Pool.

Based solely on such limited review and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer [is/is not] operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement during the prior calendar year on a “trust level basis”.

NOTE: The Operating Advisor’s review of the above materials should be considered a limited review and not be considered a full or limited audit , legal review or legal conclusion. For instance, we did not review each page of the Special Servicer’s policy and procedure manuals (including amendments and appendices), review underlying lease agreements or similar underlying documents, re-engineer the quantitative aspects of their net present value calculator, visit any related property, visit the Special Servicer, visit the Directing Holder or interact with any borrower. In addition, our review of the net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction calculations is limited to the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable formulas, and as such, does not take into account the reasonableness of the discretionary portions of such formulas.

IV. Assumptions, Qualifications Related to the Work Product Undertaken and Opinions Related to this Report

1. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Operating Advisor is not required to report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard or the special servicer’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial.

2. In rendering our assessment herein, we have assumed that all executed factual statements, instruments, and other documents that we have relied upon in rendering this assessment have been executed by persons with legal capacity to execute such documents.

The Operating Advisor does not have authority to speak with the Directing Certificateholder directly. As such, the Operating Advisor generally relied upon the information delivered to it by the Special Servicer as well as its interaction with the Special Servicer, if any, in gathering the relevant information to generate this report.

The Operating Advisor has no responsibility or authority to alter the standards set forth therein or direct the actions of the Special Servicer.

ANNEX D-1

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each sponsor will make, as of the date specified in the MLPA or such other date as set forth below, with respect to each Mortgage Loan sold by it that we include in the issuing entity, representations and warranties generally to the effect set forth below. The exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth below are identified on Annex D-2 to this prospectus. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Annex D-1 will have the meanings set forth in this prospectus or, if not defined in this prospectus, in the related MLPA; provided, however, that for the purposes of this Annex D-1, with respect to each sponsor, any reference to a “Mortgage Loan” will refer to the Mortgage Loans sold by such sponsor that we include in the issuing entity.

Each MLPA, together with the related representations and warranties, serves to contractually allocate risk between the related sponsor, on the one hand, and the issuing entity, on the other. We present the related representations and warranties set forth below for the sole purpose of describing some of the terms and conditions of that risk allocation. The presentation of representations and warranties below is not intended as statements regarding the actual characteristics of the Mortgage Loans, the Mortgaged Properties or other matters. We cannot assure you that the Mortgage Loans actually conform to the statements made in the representations and warranties that we present below. The representations, warranties and exceptions have been provided to you for informational purposes only and prospective investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and exceptions as a basis for any investment decision. For disclosure regarding the characteristics, risks and other information regarding the Mortgage Loans, Mortgaged Properties and the certificates, you should read and rely solely on the prospectus. None of the depositor or the underwriters or their respective affiliates makes any representation regarding the accuracy or completeness of the representations, warranties and exceptions.

1.   Intentionally Omitted.

2.   Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a mortgage loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to the depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Mortgage Loan Seller or (with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the related Non-Serviced Trustee for the related non-serviced securitization trust), participation (it being understood that a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan does not constitute a participation) or pledge, and the Mortgage Loan Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to agreements among noteholders with respect to a Whole Loan), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment, subservicing or similar agreement. The Mortgage Loan Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the depositor constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.

3.   Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor

 D-1-1

(subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and except that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment premium/yield maintenance charge) may be further limited or rendered unenforceable by applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Mortgage Loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the Mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents.

4.   Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan, together with applicable state law, contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, non-judicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

5.   Intentionally Omitted.

6.   Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan documents (a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty and related Mortgage Loan documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the Mortgagor nor the guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers, that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan consented to by the Mortgage Loan Seller on or after the Cut-off Date.

7.   Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each endorsement or assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from the Mortgage Loan Seller or its affiliate is in recordable form (but for the insertion of the name of the assignee and any related recording information which is not yet available to the Mortgage Loan Seller) and constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the Mortgage Loan Seller, or its affiliate, as applicable. Each related Mortgage and Assignment

 D-1-2

of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph 8 below (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions) as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy (as described below), and as of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by the applicable Title Policy. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

8.   Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy or a “marked up” commitment, in each case with escrow instructions and binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage (which lien secures the related Whole Loan, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan), which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record specifically identified in the Title Policy; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property; (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same cross-collateralized group of Mortgage Loans, and (g) condominium declarations of record and identified in such Title Policy, provided that none of clauses (a) through (g), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the value or principal use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon. Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the second preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien

 D-1-3

of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid and no claims have been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller, nor to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

9.   Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date there are no subordinate mortgages or junior mortgage liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property other than Permitted Encumbrances, mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (7) above), and equipment and other personal property financing. The Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor other than as set forth on Schedule D-1 to this Annex D-1.

10.  Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions (and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, subject to the related Assignment of Leases constituting security for the entire Whole Loan), each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law and the Standard Qualifications, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver may be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related Mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the Mortgagee.

11.  Financing Statements. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed and/or recorded (or, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan (or, if not filed and/or recorded, has submitted or caused to be submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording) to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by the Mortgagor and necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property in its current use other than (1) non-material personal property, (2) personal property subject to purchase money security interests and (3) personal property that is leased equipment. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Mortgaged Property and each UCC-3 assignment, if any, filed with respect to such financing statement was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that

 D-1-4

possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required to effect such perfection.

12.  Condition of Property. The Mortgage Loan Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Cut-off Date.

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (ii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.

13.  Taxes and Assessments. As of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, all taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) due with respect to the Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property) securing a Mortgage Loan that is or could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that became due and owing prior to the Cut-off Date with respect to each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.

14.  Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

15.  Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8), an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), as of origination there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan documents; or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

16.  Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and escrow payments currently required to be escrowed with the Mortgagee pursuant to each Mortgage Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) are in the possession, or under the control, of the Mortgage Loan Seller or its servicer, and there are no delinquencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and

 D-1-5

deposits (or the right thereto) that are required under the related Mortgage Loan documents are being conveyed by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the depositor or its servicer (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related depositor under the Non-Serviced PSA or Non-Serviced Master Servicer for the related non-serviced securitization trust).

17.  No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Closing Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs, occupancy, performance or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by the Mortgage Loan Seller to merit such holdback).

18.  Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements (as defined below), in an amount (subject to customary deductibles) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

“Insurance Ratings Requirements” means either (1) a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company (“A.M. Best”) or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or “A-” from S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or (2) the Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements. “Syndicate Insurance Ratings Requirements” means insurance provided by a syndicate of insurers, as to which (i) if such syndicate consists of 5 or more members, at least 60% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 40% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s, and (ii) if such syndicate consists of 4 or fewer members, at least 75% of the coverage is provided by insurers that meet the Insurance Ratings Requirements (under clause (1) of the definition of such term) and up to 25% of the coverage is provided by insurers that have a claims paying or financial strength rating of at least “BBB-” by S&P or at least “Baa3” by Moody’s.

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in

 D-1-6

an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization, (b) the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (c) the insurable value of the Mortgaged Property.

If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss or scenario expected loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P in an amount not less than 100% of the PML.

The Mortgage Loan documents require insurance proceeds (or an amount equal to such insurance proceeds) in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagee (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon.

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section that are required by the Mortgage Loan documents to be paid as of the Cut-off Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the Mortgagee under the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the trustee (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee). Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the Mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense

 D-1-7

and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Mortgagee of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

19.  Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Parcels. Based solely on evaluation of the Title Policy (as defined in paragraph 8) and survey, if any, an engineering report or property condition assessment as described in paragraph 12, applicable local law compliance materials as described in paragraph 26, and the ESA (as defined in paragraph 43), each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has permanent access from a recorded easement or right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and other utilities necessary for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, all of which are adequate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been made or is required to be made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax parcels (or the Mortgage Loan documents so require such application in the future), in which case the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax parcels are created.

20. No Encroachments. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the Title Policy obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, and except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the current marketability or principal use of the Mortgaged Property: (a) all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; (b) no material improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy; and (c) no material improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments that are insured against by the applicable Title Policy.

21.  No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date) or an equity participation by the Mortgage Loan Seller.

22.  REMIC. The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including permanently affixed buildings and distinct structural components, such as wiring, plumbing systems and central heating and air-conditioning systems, that are integrated into such buildings, serve such buildings in their passive functions and do not

 D-1-8

produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use or occupancy of space, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premiums and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

23.  Compliance with Usury Laws. The mortgage rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

24.  Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by the Trust.

25.  Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related Mortgagee.

26.  Local Law Compliance. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, a survey, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan are in material compliance with applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, and restrictions (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) governing the occupancy, use, and operation of such Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of such Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the full extent necessary to

 D-1-9

maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, (c) title insurance policy coverage has been obtained with respect to any non-conforming use or structure, or (d) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property. The Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

27.  Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities, zoning consultant’s report or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Mortgage Loan Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization; all such material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy and applicable governmental approvals does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan or the rights of a holder of the related Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable regulations, zoning and building laws.

28.  Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan (a) provide that such Mortgage Loan becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) the Mortgagor or guarantor shall have solicited or caused to be solicited petitioning creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or controlling equity interests in the Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity or entities distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that collectively, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, have assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages resulting from the following (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) the Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents after an event of default, security deposits, insurance proceeds, or condemnation awards; (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iii) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (iv) the Mortgagor’s commission of intentional material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property (but, in some cases, only to the extent there is sufficient cash flow generated by the related Mortgaged Property to prevent such waste).

29.  Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property

 D-1-10

from the lien of the Mortgage except (a)  a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial defeasance (as described in paragraph 34) of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (defined in paragraph 34 below), (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (i) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the Mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans) in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, the award from any such taking may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (together with any related Pari Passu Companion Loans).

No such Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with the REMIC Provisions.

30.  Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage Loan with (a) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, (b) quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls (or maintenance schedules in the case of Mortgage Loans secured by residential cooperative properties) for properties that have any individual lease which accounts for more than 5% of the in-place base rent, and (c) annual financial statements.

 D-1-11

31.  Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan of $20 million or less, as of origination the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (collectively referred to as “TRIPRA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the Mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIPRA, or damages related thereto, except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms, or as otherwise indicated on Annex D-2; provided, that if TRIPRA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

32.  Due on Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due-on-sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the Mortgagee which are customarily acceptable to the Mortgage Loan Seller, including, but not limited to, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in a Mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (v) transfers of common stock in publicly traded companies or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 29 and 34 herein, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan as set forth on Schedule D-1 to this Annex D-1, or future permitted mezzanine debt as set forth on Schedule D-2 to this Annex D-1 or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Companion Loan of any Mortgage Loan or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) purchase money security interests (iii) any Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan as set forth on Schedule D-3 to this Annex D-1 or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents provide that to the extent any Rating Agency

 D-1-12

fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

33.  Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. Each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance of $30 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents and the related Mortgage Loan documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Balance equal to $10 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

34.  Defeasance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Mortgage Loan documents provide for defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Mortgage Loan documents; (ii) the Mortgage Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the Closing Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the revenues from which will be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium) or, if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Note as set forth in clause (iii) above; (vi) the defeased note and the defeasance collateral are required to be assumed by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Trustee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (viii) the Mortgagor is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with defeasance (if rating confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all other reasonable expenses associated with defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel.

 D-1-13

35.  Fixed Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, except in the case of ARD Loans and situations where default interest is imposed.

36.  Ground Leases. For purposes of this Annex D-1, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a Ground Leasehold estate in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Mortgage Loan Seller, its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Ground Lease and Related Documents”), Mortgage Loan Seller represents and warrants that:

(a)   The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease and Related Documents permit the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and do not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the Ground Lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage File;

(b)   The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Mortgage File (or in such Ground Lease and Related Documents) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the Mortgagee, its successors or assigns, provided that the Mortgagee has provided lessor with notice of its lien in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease;

(c)   The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);

(d)   The Ground Lease either (i) is not subject to any interests, estates, liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances and Title Exceptions; or (ii) is the subject of a subordination, non-disturbance or attornment agreement or similar agreement to which the Mortgagee on the lessor’s fee interest is subject;

(e)   Subject to the notice requirements of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, the Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid),

 D-1-14

and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor (or, if such consent is required it either has been obtained or cannot be unreasonably withheld, provided that such Ground Lease has not been terminated and all amounts due thereunder have been paid);

(f)   The Mortgage Loan Seller has not received any written notice of material default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is no material default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a material default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

(g)  The Ground Lease and Related Documents require the lessor to give to the Mortgagee written notice of any default, and provide that no notice of default or termination is effective against the Mortgagee unless such notice is given to the Mortgagee;

(h)   A Mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the Mortgagee’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

(i)   The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the Mortgage Loan Seller in connection with the origination of similar commercial or multifamily loans intended for securitization;

(j)   Under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in subpart (k)) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents) the Mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

(k)  In the case of a total or substantially total taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease and Related Documents, any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

(l)   Provided that the Mortgagee cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with the Mortgagee upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

37.   Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loan have been, in all respects legal and have met with customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans for conduit loan programs.

38.   Origination and Underwriting. The origination practices of the Mortgage Loan Seller (or the related originator if the Mortgage Loan Seller was not the originator) with respect to

 D-1-15

each Mortgage Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan and the origination thereof complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan; provided that such representation and warranty does not address or otherwise cover any matters with respect to federal, state or local law otherwise covered in this Annex D-1.

39.  Intentionally Omitted.

To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mortgage Loan, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, which default, breach, violation or event of acceleration in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loan or the value, use or operation of the related Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by the Mortgage Loan Seller in this Annex D-1.

Best; (E) a party not related to the Mortgagor was identified as the responsible party for such condition or circumstance and such responsible party has financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation; or (F) a party related to the Mortgagor having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate to address the situation is required to take action. To the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, except as set forth in the ESA, there is no Environmental Condition (as such term is defined in ASTM E1527-05 or its successor) at the related Mortgaged Property.

44. Intentionally Omitted.

45.  Appraisal. The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property with an appraisal date within 6 months of the Mortgage Loan origination date, and within 12 months of the Cut-off Date. The appraisal is signed by an appraiser that (i) is a Member of the Appraisal Institute, and (ii) to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. Each appraiser has represented in such appraisal or in a supplemental letter that the appraisal satisfies the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation.

46.  Mortgage Loan Schedule. The information pertaining to each Mortgage Loan which is set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached as an exhibit to the related MLPA is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off Date and contains all information required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be contained therein.

47.  Cross-Collateralization. No Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any other mortgage loan that is outside the Mortgage Pool, except in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan.

Except for loan proceeds advanced at the time of loan origination or other payments contemplated by the Mortgage Loan documents, no advance of funds has been made by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the related Mortgagor, and no funds have been received from any person other than the related Mortgagor or an affiliate, directly, or, to the knowledge of the Mortgage Loan Seller, indirectly for, or on account of, payments due on the Mortgage Loan. Neither the Mortgage

 D-1-17

Loan Seller nor any affiliate thereof has any obligation to make any capital contribution to any Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan, other than contributions made on or prior to the date hereof.

49.  Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Mortgage Loan Seller has complied in all material respects with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 with respect to the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

For purposes of this Annex D-1, the phrases “the sponsor’s knowledge” or “the sponsor’s belief” and other words and phrases of like import mean, except where otherwise expressly set forth in these representations and warranties, the actual state of knowledge or belief of the sponsor, its officers and employees directly responsible for the underwriting, origination, servicing or sale of the Mortgage Loans regarding the matters expressly set forth in these representations and warranties in each case without having conducted any independent inquiry into such matters and without any obligation to have done so (except (i) having sent to the servicers servicing the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the sponsor, if any, specific inquiries regarding the matters referred to and (ii) as expressly set forth in these representations and warranties). All information contained in documents which are part of or required to be part of a Mortgage File (to the extent such documents exist) shall be deemed within the sponsor’s knowledge.

(4) Mortgage Provisions	Franklin Towne Center (Loan No. 7)	The lien of the related mortgage includes the Mortgagor’s fee interest in the land, but does not include the related improvements (although such improvements are owned by the Mortgagor). The terms of the related net lease with the sole tenant at the Mortgaged Property, Stop & Shop, prohibit the Mortgagor from mortgaging such improvements. Pursuant to a recorded declaration, the Mortgagor has agreed, among other things, to convey such improvements to the lender upon a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The Mortgage Loan documents provide full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor if the Mortgagor does not convey the improvements in connection with a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise comply with the related declaration. Under certain circumstances, a REMIC may not be able to acquire the improvements in connection with a foreclosure of the related Mortgaged Property.  If this is the case, in connection with the exercise of its remedies following a default, the Trust may be required to simultaneously foreclose on the related Mortgaged Property and direct the conveyance of the improvements to a third-party purchaser, or to sell the Mortgage Loan.
(7) Lien; Valid Assignment	Franklin Towne Center (Loan No. 7)	See exception to Representation and Warranty No. 4.
(8) Permitted Liens; Title Insurance	Franklin Towne Center (Loan No. 7)	See exception to Representation and Warranty No. 4.
(15) Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan	Franklin Towne Center (Loan No. 7)	The related Mortgagor is a named defendant in a civil action for unspecified damages related to a personal injury that allegedly occurred at or near the Mortgaged Property.  Such claim is not defended or otherwise covered by any insurance policy held by the Mortgagor;  however, the Mortgagor has submitted a request for defense as an additional insured under an insurance policy held by Stop & Shop, the sole tenant at the Mortgaged Property.  The Mortgagor has represented to the lender that the related insurer has accepted the Mortgagor’s tender notice, subject to, among other things, (i) the terms and conditions of the such insurance policy, (ii) no findings of any related negligence or willful misconduct by the Mortgagor, and (iii) such insurer’s reservation of its right to amend its coverage decision at any time pending further review.  Under the Mortgage Loan documents, the Mortgagor has indemnified the lender for any losses related to the pending action.
(18) Insurance	Danbury Commerce Portfolio (Loan No. 14)	The Mortgage Loan documents permit the Mortgagor to rely upon insurance maintained by the tenants Hologic and Entegris for the portions of the Delaware Commerce Park Mortgaged Property located at 37 Apple Ridge Road, Danbury, Connecticut and 7 Commerce Drive, Danbury, Connecticut, provided that in each instance such insurance meets the requirements in the Mortgage Loan documents.

(26) Local Law Compliance	The Tannery (Loan No. 23)	The Mortgaged Property is legal non-conforming as to use as the related zoning code no longer permits office uses.  If any structure containing a non-conforming use is damaged or destroyed to the extent of less than 75%, such structure may be restored to its prior non-conforming use, provided that any restoration is required to be (i) commenced within one year of the date of such damage or destruction and (ii) carried on without interruption.  If any structure containing a non-conforming use is damaged or destroyed to the extent of equal to or greater than 75%, such structure may only be restored in conformance with the current zoning code.
