Section 1. Registrant’s Business and Operations.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On or about October 13, 2016, a series of mortgage pass-through certificates, entitled Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2016-NXS6, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-NXS6 (the “Certificates”), was issued by Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2016-NXS6 (the “Issuing Entity”), pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. (the “Registrant”), as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, and Trimont Real Estate Advisors, LLC, as operating advisor and as 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 identified as “Novo Nordisk” on Exhibit B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Novo Nordisk Mortgage Loan”), which is an asset of the Issuing Entity, is part of a pari passu whole loan (the “Novo Nordisk Whole Loan”) that includes the Novo Nordisk Mortgage Loan and eight other pari passu loans, which are not assets of the Issuing Entity (each, a “Novo Nordisk Pari Passu Companion Loan”). The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Novo Nordisk Whole Loan is to be serviced and administered (i) prior to the securitization of the Novo Nordisk Pari Passu Companion Loan designated as Note A-1 (“Novo Nordisk Note A-1 Pari Passu Companion Loan”), under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) from and after the securitization of the Novo Nordisk Note A-1 Pari Passu Companion Loan, under the pooling and servicing agreement entered into in connection with that securitization.

The Mortgage Loan identified as “Rentar Plaza” on Exhibit B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Rentar Plaza Mortgage Loan”), which is an asset of the Issuing Entity, is part of a pari passu whole loan (the “Rentar Plaza Whole Loan”) that includes the Rentar Plaza Mortgage Loan and three other pari passu loans, which are not assets of the Issuing Entity (each, a “Rentar Plaza Pari Passu Companion Loan”). The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Rentar Plaza Whole Loan is to be serviced and administered (i) prior to the securitization of the Rentar Plaza Pari Passu Companion Loan designated as Note A-1 (“Rentar Plaza Note A-1 Pari Passu Companion Loan”), under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) from and after the securitization of the Rentar Plaza Note A-1 Pari Passu Companion Loan, under the pooling and servicing agreement entered into in connection with that securitization.

On December 22, 2016, the Novo Nordisk Note A-1 Pari Passu Companion Loan (along with three other Novo Nordisk Pari Passu Companion Loans) and the Rentar Plaza Note A-1 Pari Passu Companion Loan (along with one other Rentar Plaza Pari Passu Companion Loan) were securitized pursuant to the Credit Suisse Mortgage Capital 2016-NXSR securitization transaction. As of such date, the Novo Nordisk Whole Loan (including the Novo Nordisk Mortgage Loan) and the Rentar Plaza Whole Loan (including the Rentar Plaza Mortgage Loan) are being serviced and administered under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2016 (the “CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), 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 asset representations reviewer. The CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The terms and conditions of the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the servicing of the Novo Nordisk Mortgage Loan and the Rentar Plaza 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 October 13, 2016 (the “Prospectus”), however the servicing arrangements under such agreements will differ in certain respects. In particular:

·

The primary servicing fee payable to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (Wells Fargo Bank, National Association) under the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be 0.00250% per annum (which will be paid in connection with such Non-Serviced Master Servicer’s

 

 

primary servicing obligations for the Novo Nordisk Mortgage Loan and the Rentar Plaza Mortgage Loan).

·

The special servicing fee payable to the Non-Serviced Special Servicer (Torchlight Loan Services, LLC) under the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Novo Nordisk Whole Loan and the Rentar Plaza Whole Loan will be calculated at a rate equal to the greater of 0.25% per annum and the per annum rate that would result in a special servicing fee of (i) $3,500 or (ii) with respect to any mortgage loan with respect to which the risk retention consultation party is entitled to consult with the special servicer, for so long as the related mortgage loan under the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement is a specially serviced loan during the occurrence and continuance of a consultation termination event, $5,000, in each case, for the related month.

·

The workout fees payable to the Non-Serviced Special Servicer under the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to a corrected Novo Nordisk Whole Loan or a corrected Rentar Plaza Whole Loan will be calculated at a rate equal to the lesser of (a) 1.0% to each collection and (b) the rate that would result in a workout fee of $1,000,000 assuming such corrected Whole Loan remains outstanding and pays in accordance with its terms through maturity (or if the rate in clause (a) above would result in a workout fee that would be less than $25,000, then the workout fee rate will be a rate equal to such higher rate as would result in a workout fee equal to $25,000 assuming such corrected Whole Loan remains outstanding and pays in accordance with its terms through maturity).

·

The liquidation fees payable to the Non-Serviced Special Servicer under the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Novo Nordisk Whole Loan and Rentar Plaza Whole Loan will be calculated at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) such rate as would result in a liquidation fee of $1,000,000 and (ii) 1.0%; provided that if the rate in clause (ii) above would result in a liquidation fee that would be less than $25,000 in circumstances where a liquidation fee is to be paid, then the liquidation fee rate will be such rate as would yield a fee of $25,000.

 

·

The Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the Non-Serviced Trustee is required to make advances of principal and interest with respect to the Novo Nordisk Pari Passu Companion Loans and the Rentar Plaza Pari Passu Companion Loans that were contributed to the CSMC 2016-NXSR securitization (but not with respect to the Novo Nordisk Mortgage Loan, the Rentar Plaza Mortgage Loan or any other Novo Nordisk Pari Passu Companion Loan or Rentar Plaza Pari Passu Companion Loan) unless the Non-Serviced Special Servicer, the Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the Non-Serviced Trustee, as applicable, has determined that any such advance and interest thereon would not be recoverable from collections on such Novo Nordisk Pari Passu Companion Loan and Rentar Plaza Pari Passu Companion Loan. Reimbursement of such amounts and interest thereon are payable only from proceeds of the Novo Nordisk Pari Passu Companion Loans and the Rentar Plaza Pari Passu Companion Loans, as applicable, as described in “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Servicing Shift Whole Loans—The Novo Nordisk Whole Loan” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Servicing Shift Whole Loans—The Rentar Plaza Whole Loan” in the Prospectus.

·

Any party to the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement that makes a property protection advance with respect to the Novo Nordisk Mortgage Loan or the Rentar Plaza Mortgage Loan will be entitled to reimbursement for that advance, with interest at the prime rate, in a manner similar to the reimbursement of Servicing Advances related to Serviced Whole Loans under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The extent to which modification fees or other fee items with respect to the Novo Nordisk Whole Loan or the Rentar Plaza Whole Loan may be applied to offset interest on advances, servicer expenses and servicing compensation will, in certain circumstances, be less than is the case under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

·

Items with respect to the Novo Nordisk Whole Loan and the Rentar Plaza Whole Loan that are the equivalent of assumption application fees, defeasance fees, assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, late payment charges, default interest and/or modification fees ad that constitute additional

 

servicing compensation under the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement will not be payable to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will be allocated between the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer under the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement, in some cases in proportions that are different than the allocation of similar fees under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement between the Master Servicer and Special Servicer for this transaction.

·

The master servicer, special servicer, trustee, certificate administrator and operating advisor under the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement (and their related directors, officers and other agents) will be entitled to reimbursement and/or indemnification for losses, liabilities, costs and expenses associated with the servicing of the Novo Nordisk Whole Loan and the Rentar Plaza Whole Loan pursuant to the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement in a manner, and to an extent, similar, but not necessarily identical, to that by which parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement performing similar functions (and their related directors, officers and other agents) are entitled to reimbursement and/or indemnification for losses, liabilities, costs and expenses associated with their obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Trust, as holder of the Novo Nordisk Mortgage Loan and the Rentar Plaza Mortgage Loan, will be responsible for its pro rata share of any such indemnification amounts (including out of general collections on the WFCM 2016-NXS6 mortgage pool, if necessary).

·

The related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be required to take actions with respect to the Novo Nordisk Mortgage Loan or the Rentar Plaza Mortgage Loan, as applicable, if such Mortgage Loan becomes the equivalent of a Defaulted Loan, which actions will be similar, but not necessarily identical, to the actions described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Realization Upon Mortgage Loans” and “—Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties” in the Prospectus.

·

With respect to the Novo Nordisk Whole Loan and the Rentar Plaza Whole Loan, the servicing provisions relating to performing inspections and collecting operating information are similar, but not necessarily identical, to those of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, except that, under the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement, inspections are required to commence in 2018.

·

The requirement of the Non-Serviced Master Servicer to make compensating interest payments in respect of the Novo Nordisk Whole Loan and the Rentar Plaza Whole Loan is similar, but not necessarily identical, to the requirement of the master servicers to make Compensating Interest Payments in respect of the Serviced Whole Loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

·

The CSMC 2016-NXSR directing certificateholder will have rights substantially similar to the Directing Certificateholder hereunder with respect to the servicing and administration of the Novo Nordisk Whole Loan and the Rentar Plaza Whole Loan, including consenting to “Major Decisions” (as defined under the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement) proposed by the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to the Novo Nordisk Whole Loan or the Rentar Plaza Whole Loan, as applicable, and reviewing and consenting to asset status reports prepared by such Non-Serviced Special Servicer in respect of the Novo Nordisk Whole Loan or the Rentar Plaza Whole Loan, as applicable. “Major Decisions” for the Novo Nordisk Whole Loan and the Rentar Plaza Whole Loan under the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement will differ in certain respects from those actions that constitute Major Decisions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and therefore the specific types of servicer actions with respect to which the applicable directing certificateholder will be permitted to consent will correspondingly differ.

·

The actions that the Non-Serviced Master Servicer is permitted to take without obtaining the consent of the Non-Serviced Special Servicer under the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement differ in certain respects from the actions that the Master Servicer is permitted to take without obtaining the consent of the Special Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

·

The provisions of the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to modifications, waivers and amendments to mortgage loans are similar, but not identical, to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; however, the allocation of rights and duties between the Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer regarding modifications, waivers and amendments differ in certain respects.

·

Servicing transfer events under the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement that would cause the Novo Nordisk Whole Loan or the Rentar Plaza Whole Loan to become specially serviced will be similar to, but not identical to, the corresponding provisions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

·

Collections on the Novo Nordisk Mortgage Loan and the Rentar Plaza Mortgage Loan are required, within two (2) business days following receipt of properly identified funds by the Non-Serviced Master Servicer, in its capacity as companion paying agent under the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to be deposited and maintained in a separate account in the name of such Non-Serviced Master Servicer, for the benefit of the holders of the Novo Nordisk Whole Loan and the Rentar Plaza Whole Loan. Such amounts will be transferred (after payment of certain amounts under the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement) on a monthly basis prior to or on the related serviced whole loan remittance date to the collection account by the Non-Serviced Master Servicer for distribution in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing.

·

The CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides for a risk retention consultation party which has certain consultation rights in relation to the servicing of the Novo Nordisk Whole Loan and the Rentar Plaza Whole Loan.

·

The provisions of the CSMC 2016-NXSR Pooling and Servicing Agreement will also vary from the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to timing, control or consultation triggers or thresholds, terminology, allocation of ministerial duties between multiple servicers or other service providers or 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.
