The ‘AAAsf’ rating on the senior certificates reflects the 10.00% subordination provided by the 3.10% class A-M, 1.05% class B-1, 2.00% class B-2, 1.45% class B-3, 1.10% class B-4 and 1.30% class B-5. The $13,719,000 class A-M and $5,753,300 class B-5 certificate will not be rated by Fitch.
Fitch argues that the ratings reflect the high quality of the underlying collateral, the clear capital structure and the high percentage of loans reviewed by third party underwriters. In addition, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. will act as the master servicer and U.S. Bank Trust N.A. will act as the trustee for the transaction. For federal income tax purposes, elections will be made to treat the trust as one or more real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs).
This transaction includes the use of Pentalpha Surveillance LLC (Pentalpha) as representation & warranties (R&W) breach reviewer for the benefit of the trust. The securities administrator will instruct Pentalpha to review any loan that satisfies the review trigger. Pentalpha will review the loan using the breach determination review procedures outlined in the transaction documents to identify failures with respect to one or more of the breach determination procedures. If a failure exists, Pentalpha will determine whether or not the failure is material, based on materiality conditions outlined in the transaction documents. Pentalpha will then provide the final results of its review and determination to the securities administrator.
