Item 1.01.                Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 14, 2016, a series of mortgage pass-through certificates, entitled Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-C31 (the “Certificates”), was issued by Morgan Stanley Bank of America Merrill Lynch Trust 2016-C31, a New York common law trust (the “Issuing Entity”), pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Banc of America Merrill Lynch Commercial Mortgage Inc. (the “Registrant”), as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as special servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor and asset representations reviewer. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The mortgage loan secured by the mortgaged property identified as “MY Portfolio” on Exhibit B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “MY Portfolio Mortgage Loan”), which is an asset of the Issuing Entity, is part of a whole loan (the “MY Portfolio Whole Loan”) that also includes one (1) additional pari passu promissory note, which is not an asset of the Issuing Entity. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the MY Portfolio Mortgage Loan is to be serviced and administered (i) until the securitization of the controlling pari passu note, under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (ii) from and after the securitization of controlling pari passu note, under the pooling and servicing agreement entered into in connection with such securitization. The securitization of the controlling pari passu note occurred on December 22, 2016, and accordingly as of such date the MY Portfolio Whole Loan, including the MY Portfolio Mortgage Loan, is being serviced and administered in accordance with the pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of December 1, 2016, among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, Torchlight Loan Services, LLC, as special servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer (the “CSMC 2016-NXSR PSA”), relating to the CSMC 2016-NXSR securitization transaction into which the controlling pari passu companion loan was deposited. The CSMC 2016-NXSR PSA is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1.

The terms and conditions of the CSMC 2016-NXSR PSA applicable to the servicing of the MY Portfolio Mortgage Loan are substantially similar to the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the servicing of the other Mortgage Loans, as described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement” in the prospectus filed by the Issuing Entity pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) with respect to the Certificates on November 14, 2016; however, the servicing arrangements will differ in certain respects. For example:

•Special servicing fees, work-out fees and liquidation fees payable to the special servicer under the CSMC 2016-NXSR PSA with respect to the MY Portfolio Mortgage Loan will generally be calculated in a manner similar, but not necessarily identical, to the corresponding fees under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, except that (i) the special servicing fee is subject to a monthly minimum of $5,000 during any period in which a representative of the holders of the credit risk retention interest is entitled to consult with the special servicer (and a monthly minimum of $3,500 at any other time), (ii) the liquidation fee is subject to a minimum fee payable in connection with each loan resolution equal to the lesser of (x) $1,000,000 and (y) 1.0% of liquidation proceeds (but not less than $25,000) and (iii) the workout fee is subject to a minimum fee payable in connection with each loan workout equal to the lesser of (x) $1,000,000 and (y) 1.0% of each collection (but not less than $25,000) and (iv) in the case of each of the preceding clauses (i) through (iii), such fees will be subject to certain additional or different offsets and
 
 

thresholds, which may affect the circumstances under which such fees will be payable to the special servicer under the CSMC 2016-NXSR PSA.

•The servicing transfer events under the CSMC 2016-NXSR PSA that would cause the MY Portfolio Mortgage Loan to become specially serviced are similar, but not necessarily identical, to the corresponding provisions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
•While the special servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the special servicer under the CSMC 2016-NXSR PSA must each resign as special servicer with respect to a mortgage loan if it becomes affiliated with the related borrower, the particular types of affiliations that trigger such resignation obligation differ as between the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the CSMC 2016-NXSR PSA.
•The CSMC 2016-NXSR PSA provides certain non-binding consultation rights in respect of the MY Portfolio Mortgage Loan (if it is specially serviced) to a representative of the holders of the credit risk retention interest in the CSMC 2016-NXSR transaction.
•The liability of the parties to the CSMC 2016-NXSR PSA will be limited in a manner similar, but not necessarily identical, to the liability of the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In addition, the parties to the CSMC 2016-NXSR PSA (and their related directors, officers and other agents) are entitled to reimbursement and/or indemnification for losses, liabilities, costs and other expenses associated with the CSMC 2016-NXSR PSA to the same extent that parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (and their related directors, officers and other agents) are entitled to reimbursement and/or indemnification for losses, liabilities, costs and expenses associated with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Trust, as the holder of the MY Portfolio Mortgage Loan, will be responsible for its pro rata share of any such amounts (including out of general collections on the MSBAM 2016-C31 mortgage pool, if necessary).
•The CSMC 2016-NXSR PSA differs from the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in certain respects relating to one or more of the following: timing, control or consultation triggers or thresholds, terminology, allocation of ministerial duties between multiple servicers or other service providers, certificateholder or investor voting or consent thresholds, master servicer and special servicer termination events, rating requirements for accounts and permitted investments, eligibility requirements applicable to servicers and other service providers, and the circumstances under which approvals, consents, consultation, notices or rating agency confirmations may be required.
