Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Certificates consist of the following classes (each, a “Class”), designated as (i) the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates (collectively, the “Publicly Offered Certificates”), (ii) the Class X-D, Class X-E, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class V and Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Privately Offered Certificates”), and (iii) the RR Interest.
The Certificates represent, in the aggregate, the entire beneficial ownership in the Issuing Entity, a common law trust to be formed on or about November 1, 2017 under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Issuing Entity’s primary assets will be a pool of fifty (50) commercial, multifamily and/or manufactured housing community mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”). Certain of the Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Registrant from Bank of America, National Association (“BANA”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto asExhibit 99.1and dated as of October 27, 2017, between the Registrant and BANA; certain of the Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Registrant from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto asExhibit 99.2 and dated as of October 27, 2017, between the Registrant and Wells Fargo; certain of the Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Registrant from Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC (“MSMCH”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto asExhibit 99.3 and dated as of October 27, 2017, between the Registrant and MSMCH; and certain of the Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Registrant from National Cooperative Bank, N.A (“NCB”) pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, attached hereto asExhibit 99.4 and dated as of October 27, 2017, between the Registrant and NCB.
The assets of the Issuing Entity include several Mortgage Loans each of which is a part of a Whole Loan. Each Whole Loan is governed by a co-lender, intercreditor or similar agreement (each, an “Intercreditor Agreement”) between the holders of the promissory notes comprising such Whole Loan, the terms of which are described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans” in the Prospectus described below. Each Intercreditor Agreement is attached as an exhibit hereto as described in the following table. Moreover, certain of such Whole Loans will not be serviced pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement but will instead be serviced pursuant to a different servicing agreement (each, a “Non-Serviced PSA”). Each such Non-Serviced PSA is attached as an exhibit hereto as described in the following table. For a description of the servicing of the affected Whole Loans under such Non-Serviced PSAs, see “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” in the Prospectus described below.
