The assets of the Issuing Entity include several mortgage loans which are part of whole loans.

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.
