Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Background

On March 23, 2021, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo Bank”) and Wells Fargo Delaware Trust Company, N.A. (“WFDTC”, and collectively with Wells Fargo Bank, “Wells Fargo”) entered into a definitive agreement with Computershare Trust Company, National Association (“CTCNA”), Computershare Delaware Trust Company (“CDTC”, and collectively with CTCNA, “Computershare”) and Computershare Limited (“CPU Ltd”) to sell substantially all of their Corporate Trust Services (“CTS”) business. Effective as of November 1, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the sale closed, and virtually all CTS employees of Wells Fargo, along with most existing CTS systems, technology, and offices, transferred to Computershare. On the Closing Date, for some of the transactions in Wells Fargo’s CTS business, Wells Fargo transferred its roles and the duties, rights, and liabilities with such roles under the relevant transaction agreements (the “Roles”) to CTCNA or CDTC. For other transactions in Wells Fargo’s CTS business, Wells Fargo intends to transfer its Roles in stages after the Closing Date. The specific date of transfer of Roles for any such transaction in Wells Fargo’s CTS business is not known at this time.

On March 23, 2021, Wells Fargo Bank, WFDTC, CTCNA, CDTC, and CPU Ltd entered into a Servicing Agreement, which was amended and restated as of October 31, 2021 (as amended, the “Servicing Agreement”). For those transactions in Wells Fargo’s CTS business where one or more of its Roles did not transfer to CTCNA or CDTC on the Closing Date (the “Non-Transferred Role(s) Transactions”), CTCNA or CDTC will perform all or virtually all of such Roles on behalf of Wells Fargo as its agent pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. Any duties and responsibilities not performed by CTCNA or CDTC as agent pursuant to the Servicing Agreement will continue to be performed by Wells Fargo Bank. The Servicing Agreement became effective on the Closing Date for Non-Transferred Role(s) Transactions. Certain terms of the Servicing Agreement are summarized under Item 6.02.

COMM 2012-CCRE2 Mortgage Trust

The COMM 2012-CCRE2 Mortgage Trust is currently a Non-Transferred Role(s) Transaction. As of the Closing Date and pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, CTCNA will perform all or virtually all of Wells Fargo Bank’s roles as certificate administrator and custodian under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the COMM 2012-CCRE2 Mortgage Trust (the “COMM 2012-CCRE2 PSA”) as agent for Wells Fargo Bank, provided that pursuant to the COMM 2012-CCRE2 PSA, the appointment of CTCNA as agent to Wells Fargo Bank does not relieve Wells Fargo Bank of responsibility for its duties and obligations under the COMM 2012-CCRE2 PSA. Any duties and responsibilities not performed by CTCNA as agent pursuant to the Servicing Agreement will continue to be performed by Wells Fargo Bank. The Servicing Agreement became effective on the Closing Date for the COMM 2012-CCRE2 Mortgage Trust and is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

See section 4 of the Servicing Agreement for more detail.

Termination of Serviced Duties for a Serviced Corporate Trust Contract. The Servicing Agreement provides that the Applicable Computershare Entity’s Serviced Duties under the Servicing Agreement terminate for any Serviced Corporate Trust Contract at the “Appointment Expiration Time,” which generally means the time that the Applicable Wells Fargo Entity’s obligations under any Serviced Appointment are terminated or of no further force and effect, including upon the (a) valid termination or removal of the Applicable Wells Fargo Entity from all Corporate Trust Capacities with respect to a Serviced Appointment, or (b) with the prior consent of the Applicable Computershare Entity, the resignation by, assignment by, or succession of the Applicable Wells Fargo Entity from all Corporate Trust Capacities with respect to a Serviced Appointment.

The Applicable Computershare Entity has the right to instruct the Applicable Wells Fargo Entity to execute documents whereby the Applicable Wells Fargo Entity resigns from any Corporate Trust Capacity appointing a successor under the Serviced Appointments.

The Applicable Wells Fargo Entity can elect to terminate the Servicing Agreement in the event that the remaining Serviced Appointments have generated LTM Fee Revenue that is less than 5% of the aggregate fee revenue generated by all Serviced Appointments as of January 1, 2024 in the twelve-month period prior to January 1, 2024. Under the Servicing Agreement, “LTM Fee Revenue” means the fee revenue (excluding net interest income but including money market fund fees) generated by all remaining Serviced Appointments in the last full twelve-month period prior to the time the Applicable Wells Fargo Entity elects to exercise the termination right described in the preceding sentence.

The Applicable Wells Fargo Entities have a right to terminate the Servicing Agreement with respect to a specific Serviced Appointment(s) in the event of certain “Major Defaults” by the Applicable Computershare Trust Companies following Computershare’s failure to remediate the Major Default. The Applicable Wells Fargo Entities may also terminate the Servicing Agreement upon the Applicable Computershare Entity’s insolvency or pursuant to applicable laws.
