(1) Argentic Real Estate Finance LLC ("Argentic") is one of multiple originators.<br> (2) "Originator" generally refers to the party identified in securities offering materials at the time of issuance for purposes of meeting applicable SEC disclosure requirements. (For columns (c) through (f))<br> (3) Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as general special servicer (the "General Special Servicer") for Mortgage Loan number 5 (with respect to the property known as "Aloft Houston by the Galleria," located at 5415 Westheimer Road, Houston, TX 77056) (the "Aloft Houston Loan"), in a letter dated September 11, 2020 (the "Repurchase Request"), requested that Argentic repurchase the Aloft Houston Loan on the basis that a Material Document Defect occurred. In a letter dated September 21, 2020, Argentic rejected the Repurchase Request because a Material Document Defect can be addressed by curing (as set forth in Section 5(a) of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), and even if the deficiency described in the Repurchase Request were a Material Document Defect, it has already been cured, by virtue of the existence and effectiveness of an Interim Franchise Agreement that was executed on July 13, 2020. On January 6, 2021, counsel for the General Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York seeking that Argentic repurchase the Aloft Houston Loan on the basis of a Material Document Defect. Argentic has responded to the complaint, and continues to reject the repurchase request as requested by the General Special Servicer in the complaint, and the receiver for the Aloft Houston Loan has extended the Interim Franchise Agreement through June 12, 2023.<br> (4) The principal balances (shown in columns (e), (h) and (w)) are with respect to Argentic's asset contribution only (without taking into account assets contributed by other originators). However, the percentages of principal balances (shown in columns (f), (i) and (x)) are with respect to the entire securitization pool (taking into account assets contributed by other originators) and based on (i) a principal balance of approximately $841,810,000.00 at the time of securitization (for column (f)), as shown on the issuing entity's Form 424B5 filed on February 12, 2015, and (ii) a principal balance of $775,075,473.61 as of December 30, 2022 (for columns (i) and (x)), as shown on the report of the issuing entity prepared by the Certificate Administrator for the distribution dated January 18, 2023.<br> (5) Includes only the historical repurchase demands received with respect to the Aloft Houston Loan. (For columns (g) through (i))<br> (6) The principal balances (shown in columns (h) and (w)) do not include Outstanding P&I Advances and Outstanding Servicer Advances of $4,066,651.42 and $4,475,466.53, respectively, as shown on the report of the issuing entity prepared by the Certificate Administrator for the distribution dated January 18, 2023.<br> (7) Includes assets for which a reimbursement payment is in process and where the asset has been otherwise liquidated by or on behalf of the issuing entity at the time of initiation of such reimbursement process. (For columns (j) through (l))<br> (8) Includes assets which are subject to a demand and within the cure period, but where no decision has yet been made to accept or contest the demand. (For columns (m) through (o))<br> (9) Includes assets pending repurchase or replacement outside of the cure period. (For columns (p) through (r))<br> (10) Includes assets for which a reimbursement payment is in process, and where the asset has not been repurchased or replaced. Also includes assets for which the requesting party rescinds or retracts the demand in writing. (For columns (s) through (u))<br> (11) Includes only the historical repurchase demands received with respect to the Aloft Houston Loan for which a party has responded to one or more related demands to repurchase or replace such asset by refuting the allegations supporting such demand and rejecting the repurchase demand(s), whether in letters or in answers to any litigation which has been filed.<br>
