Registration Statement on Form SF-3
General
1.Please confirm that the depositor and any issuing entities previously established, directly
or indirectly, by the depositor or any affiliate of the depositor have been current and
timely with Exchange Act reporting during the last twelve months with respect to asset-
backed securities involving the same asset class. Please refer to General Instruction I.A.2.

2.We note your use of LIBOR-based disclosure when discussing interest rates for

please review and update references to LIBOR throughout your registration statement to

purposes of any floating rate certificates and/or swap contracts. Please also update your
risk factor disclosure to discuss material risks related to any such indices, if applicable.

4.We note your disclosure that the B-Piece Buyer may enter into hedging or other
transactions (except as may be restricted pursuant to the credit risk retention rules) or

how this disclosure is consistent with Securities Act Rule 192 or revise this disclosure to
qualify it as subject to applicable law. In addressing this comment, please consider, as
applicable, any case where the special servicer may be an affiliate or subsidiary of the B-

applicable.
