Midland Loan Services, a division of PNC Bank, National Association

 

                Midland is being appointed as the successor special servicer and in this capacity will be responsible for the servicing and administration of the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Midland’s principal servicing office is located at 10851 Mastin Street, Building 82, Suite 300, Overland Park, Kansas 66210.

 

Midland is a commercial financial services company that provides loan servicing and asset management for large pools of commercial and multifamily real estate assets.  Midland is approved as a master servicer, special servicer and primary servicer for investment-grade commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Fitch Ratings, Inc., DBRS, Inc. (“DBRS Morningstar”) and Kroll Bond Rating Agency, LLC.  Midland has received rankings as a master, primary and special servicer of real estate assets under U.S. CMBS transactions from S&P, Fitch and DBRS Morningstar. For each category, S&P ranks Midland as “Strong”. DBRS Morningstar ranks Midland as “MOR CS2” for master servicer, “MOR CS1” for primary servicer, and “MOR CS1” for special servicer. Fitch ranks Midland as “CMS2+” for master servicer, “CPS2+” for primary servicer, and “CSS2+” for special servicer. Midland is also a HUD/FHA-approved mortgagee and a Fannie Mae-approved multifamily loan servicer.

 

Midland has detailed operating procedures across the various servicing functions to maintain compliance with its servicing obligations and the servicing standards under Midland’s servicing agreements, including procedures for managing delinquent and specially serviced loans. The policies and procedures are reviewed annually and centrally managed.

 

Furthermore, Midland’s business continuity and disaster recovery plans are reviewed and tested annually.  While Midland operates under a work from home strategy for certain personnel, Midland's policies, operating procedures and business continuity plan contemplate and provide the mechanism for any Midland personnel currently working in the office to transition to work from home as determined by management to comply with changes in federal, state or local laws, regulations, executive orders, other requirements and/or guidance, to address health and/or other concerns related to a pandemic or other significant event or to address market or other business purposes.

 

In accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Midland has engaged (or may in the future engage) one or more third-party vendors and/or affiliates to support Midland’s performance of certain duties and/or obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including, but not limited to, with respect to one or more of the following tasks:

 

• converting and de-converting loans to or from the servicing system and setting up any applicable cash management waterfall;
• calculating certain amounts such as principal and interest payments, default interest, deferred interest, rent escalations, financial statement penalty fees, payoff amounts and other ad hoc items;

 

• calculating remittances and allocated loan and appraisal reduction amounts and preparing remittance reports and other related reports, including Schedule AL;

 

• administering certain aspects relating to reserve account disbursement requests;

 

• assisting with the collection of financial/operating statements and rent rolls and performing operating statement and rent roll spreading activities;

 

• monitoring covenant compliance and occupancy and tenant-related triggers, completing certain covenant calculations, tests and related analyses and identifying loans for Midland to proceed with cash management implementation;

 

• UCC, tax and insurance-related researching, monitoring, filing, reporting, collecting and tracking, and lien release filing and tracking;

 

• performing property inspections and preparing the related property inspection reports;

 

·         updating of the servicing system periodically with certain information, such as with respect to borrower, collateral, loan terms, escrows, reserves, covenants, loan-level transactions (i.e., amendments, assumptions, defeasances, etc.) and servicing fees;

 

• processing loan and bring current statements and updating receivables;

 

• per Midland’s requirements, generating certain correspondence including hello letters, missed payment letters, financial statement demand letters and event of default letters; and

 

• one or more additional tasks assigned by Midland; provided, however, such tasks will not include holding or collecting funds or performing asset management (other than document review and preparation in support of Midland’s asset managers’ processing of certain asset management transactions).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Midland will remain responsible for Midland’s duties and/or obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Midland monitors and oversees its third-party vendors in compliance with its internal procedures, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and applicable law.

 

Midland will not have primary responsibility for custody services of original documents evidencing the underlying Mortgage Loans. Midland may from time to time have custody of certain of such documents as necessary for enforcement actions involving particular Mortgage Loans or otherwise. To the extent that Midland has custody of any such documents for any such servicing purposes, such documents will be maintained in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard.

 

No securitization transaction involving commercial or multifamily mortgage loans in which Midland was acting as master servicer, primary servicer or special servicer has experienced a servicer event of default as a result of any action or inaction of Midland as master servicer, primary servicer or special servicer, as applicable, including as a result of Midland's failure to comply with the applicable servicing criteria in connection with any securitization transaction. Midland has made all advances required to be made by it under the servicing agreements on the commercial and multifamily mortgage loans serviced by Midland in securitization transactions.

 

From time-to-time Midland is a party to lawsuits and other legal proceedings as part of its duties as a loan servicer (e.g., enforcement of loan obligations) and/or arising in the ordinary course of business. Midland does not believe that any such lawsuits or legal proceedings would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to service Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Midland currently maintains an Internet-based investor reporting system, CRE Servicing Insight^®, that contains performance information at the portfolio, loan and property levels on the various commercial mortgage-backed securities transactions that it services. Certificateholders, prospective transferees of the certificates and other appropriate parties may obtain access to CRE Servicing Insight^® through Midland's website at www.pnc.com/midland. Midland may require registration and execution of an access agreement in connection with providing access to CRE Servicing Insight^®.

 

As of March 31, 2026, Midland was named the special servicer in approximately 296 commercial mortgage-backed securities transactions with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of approximately $104 billion.  With respect to such commercial mortgage-backed securities transactions as of such date, Midland was administering approximately 208 assets with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $5.2 billion.

 

From time to time, Midland and/or its affiliates may purchase or sell securities, including, certificates issued in connection with this securitization in the secondary market.

 

                Midland has been servicing mortgage loans in CMBS transactions since 1992.  The table below contains information on the size of the portfolio of commercial and multifamily loans and leases in CMBS and other servicing transactions for which Midland has acted as master and/or primary servicer from 2023 to 2025.

The table below contains information on the size of the portfolio of specially serviced commercial and multifamily loans, leases and REO properties that have been referred to Midland as special servicer in CMBS transactions from 2023 to 2025.

 

 

 

Midland may enter into one or more arrangements with the Directing Certificateholder, a Controlling Class Certificateholder, any directing certificateholder, any Companion Holder, the other Certificateholders (or an affiliate or a third-party representative of one or more of the preceding) or any other person with the right to appoint or remove and replace the special servicer to provide for (i) a discount, waiver and/or revenue sharing with respect to certain of the special servicer compensation and/or (ii) certain services, in each case, in consideration of, among other things, Midland’s appointment (or continuance) as special servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any related co-lender agreement and limitations on the right of such person to remove the special servicer.

 

PNC Bank and its affiliates may use some of the same service providers (e.g., legal counsel, accountants and appraisal firms) as are retained on behalf of the Issuing Entity.  In some cases, fee rates, amounts or discounts may be offered to PNC Bank and its affiliates by a third party vendor which differ from those offered to the Issuing Entity as a result of scheduled or ad hoc rate changes, differences in the scope, type or nature of the service or transaction, alternative fee arrangements, and negotiation by PNC Bank or its affiliates other than Midland.  

 

The foregoing information concerning the successor Special Servicer has been provided by Midland.  Midland does not make any representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (other than as to it being a valid obligation of Midland as Special Servicer), the Certificates with respect to the Issuing Entity, the Mortgage Loans held by the Issuing Entity or any related documents.
