On July 13, 2017, Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc.

The Certificates represent, in the aggregate, the entire beneficial ownership in the WFCM Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust 2017-C38 (the “Issuing Entity”), a common law trust fund formed under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The assets of the Issuing Entity consist primarily of 76 fixed-rate commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) secured by first liens on 210 commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing properties.

The Mortgage Loan identified as “Raleigh Marriott City Center” on Exhibit B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Raleigh Marriott City Center Mortgage Loan”), which is an asset of the Issuing Entity, is part of a whole loan (the “Raleigh Marriott City Center Whole Loan”) that includes such Mortgage Loan and one or more pari passu companion loans that is not an asset of the Issuing Entity. The Raleigh Marriott City Center Whole Loan is being serviced and administered pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of August 1, 2017 and as to which an executed version is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 (the “BANK 2017-BNK7 Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as general master servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as general special servicer (the “BANK 2017-BNK7 General Special Servicer”), National Cooperative Bank, N.A., as NCB master servicer and as NCB special servicer (the “BANK 2017-BNK7 NCB Special Servicer”, and together with the BANK 2017-BNK7 General Special Servicer, the “BANK 2017-BNK7 Special Servicers”), Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer (the “BANK 2017-BNK7 Operating Advisor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, relating to the BANK 2017-BNK7 securitization transaction into which the related controlling companion loan is deposited.

The terms and conditions of the BANK 2017-BNK7 Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the servicing of the Raleigh Marriott City Center 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 September 29, 2017; provided, the BANK 2017-BNK7 Operating Advisor will not be required to (i) generally review the actions of the BANK 2017-BNK7 Special Servicers with respect to any specially serviced mortgage loans, (ii) prepare annual reports regarding any specially serviced mortgage loans prior to the occurrence and continuance of a control termination event under the BANK 2017-BNK7 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (iii) upon determining that (a) either BANK 2017-BNK7 Special Servicer is not adequately performing its duties under the BANK 2017-BNK7 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or otherwise not acting in accordance with the relevant servicing standard and (b) the replacement of either BANK 2017-BNK7 Special Servicer would be in the best interests of the BANK 2017-BNK7 certificateholders as a collective whole, recommend the replacement of either BANK 2017-BNK7 Special Servicer or (iv) consult with either BANK 2017-BNK7 Special Servicer prior to the occurrence of a control termination event under the BANK 2017-BNK7 Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
