Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 25, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Morgan Stanley Capital I Inc. (the “Registrant”) caused the issuance of the MSWF Commercial Mortgage Trust 2023-1, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2023-1 (the “Certificates”), pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and dated as of May 1, 2023 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Registrant, as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, Argentic Services Company LP, as special servicer, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as certificate administrator and as trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
One mortgage loan, secured by the mortgaged property identified as “CX - 250 Water Street” on Exhibit B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “CX - 250 Water Street Mortgage Loan”), is an asset of the Issuing Entity and is part of a whole loan (the “CX - 250 Water Street Whole Loan”) that includes the CX - 250 Water Street Mortgage Loan and one or more pari passu notes and/or subordinate promissory notes (“Companion Loans”) that are not assets of the Issuing Entity. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the CX - 250 Water Street Whole Loan will be serviced and administered (A) prior to the securitization of the related lead servicing Companion Loan (represented by promissory note A-1), under the BANK 2023-BNK45 PSA, and (B) from and after the securitization of the related lead servicing Companion Loan, under the pooling and servicing agreement entered into in connection with that securitization.
The lead servicing Companion Loan related to the CX - 250 Water Street Whole Loan was securitized on December 21, 2023 in connection with the issuance of a series of mortgage pass-through certificates entitled MSWF Commercial Mortgage Trust 2023-2, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2023-2. Consequently, the CX - 250 Water Street Mortgage Loan is being serviced and administered under the pooling and servicing agreement entered into in connection with such securitization, dated as of December 1, 2023 (the “MSWF 2023-2 Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), Argentic Services company LP, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as certificate administrator and as trustee, and BellOak, LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer. The MSWF 2023-2 Pooling and Servicing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.6.
The servicing terms of the MSWF 2023-2 Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the servicing of the CX - 250 Water Street Mortgage Loan will be substantially similar to the servicing terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the Serviced Mortgage Loans; however, the servicing arrangements under such agreements will differ in certain respects, including the items set forth under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans—General” in the prospectus relating to the Certificates, dated May 23, 2023 (the “Prospectus”), and the following:
● | The related Non-Serviced Master Servicer earns a servicing fee with respect to each such mortgage loan that is to be calculated at 0.00250% per annum. |
● | The special servicing fee payable to the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to the CX - 250 Water Street Whole Loan if it is a specially serviced loan under the MSWF 2023-2 Pooling and Servicing Agreement will accrue at a rate equal to the greater of (i) 0.25000% per annum and (ii) the per annum rate that would result in a special servicing fee for the related month of $3,500. |
● | The workout fee payable to the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to the CX - 250 Water Street Whole Loan if it is a corrected loan will accrue at a rate equal to 0.50%; provided, that if such rate would result in a workout fee less than $25,000, then the Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be entitled to an amount from the final payment on such corrected loan that would result in the total workout fees payable to the Non-Serviced Special Servicer in respect of the related Whole Loan being equal to $25,000. |
● | The liquidation fee payable to the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to the CX - 250 Water Street Whole Loan will accrue at a rate equal to 0.50%; provided, that if such rate would result in an aggregate liquidation fee of less than $25,000, then the liquidation fee rate will be equal to such rate as would result in an aggregate liquidation fee equal to $25,000. |
