propertys occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR remain below the levels at issuance.

September 2010 due to weaknesses in the propertys performance. The borrowers request for
a loan modification has been approved, and documentation is in process. The loan will split into
a $46.5 million A note and a $15.5 million B note, and the interest rate will reduce to 4.5% from

Performance Meets Expectation: The property is 100% leased to the city of New York (Fitch
rated GO bonds at AA) under two leases that expire in February 2020, approximately 2.5
years beyond the anticipated repayment date (ARD) of the loan. The leases have a 10-year

operating expenses, including property insurance, utilities, and repair and maintenance. The
property is subject to New York City rent control regulations.

Fitch Loan of Concern: Fitch is concerned with the poor performance of the property and the
high rollover risk related to the commercial units. Except for two vacant spaces, all the
remaining leases roll within the next 12 months. The loan remains current on debt service and

payment default and the bankruptcy of the sponsor. The property had been negatively affected

Addendum
Fitch Loans of Concern Represent those loans with performance deterioration, including loans with a DSCR below 1.0x, those with
significant declines in occupancy (both actual and expected), and those that rely on debt service reserves to keep the loan current.

Debt stacks reflect updated balances to the extent that Fitch was able to obtain them from the master servicer. In the event that
updated balances on additional debt cannot be obtained, Fitch assumes that B notes have amortized concurrently with the related
A notes (unless an event of default has occurred), while the balances of additional subordinate or mezzanine financing are reported as
of issuance. Fitch generally does not have a reliable source for tracking the sale and/or repayment of subordinate or mezzanine
financing held outside of the trust.

Fitch Data Sources:


Trepp General data feed that compiles servicer and trustee reports.
Master Servicers Operating statement analysis reports (OSARS), loan-level rent rolls, and commentary related to their
discussions with borrowers.
Special Servicers Provide property specific information related to leasing, valuations, and potential workout plans.
Multiple market sources, including but not limited to Property & Portfolio Research (PPR), Reis, Smith Travel Research, and
regional real estate brokerage firms, provide information on market and submarket real estate fundamentals.
Trustees Monthly remittance reports and monthly investor reporting packages (IRPs).

The manner of Fitchs factual investigation and the scope of the third-party verification it obtains will vary depending on the

The information in this report is provided as is without any representation or warranty of any kind. A Fitch rating is an opinion

and underwriters for rating securities. Such fees generally vary from US$1,000 to US$750,000 (or the applicable currency
equivalent) per issue. In certain cases, Fitch will rate all or a number of issues issued by a particular issuer, or insured or
guaranteed by a particular insurer or guarantor, for a single annual fee. Such fees are expected to vary from US$10,000 to
