On June 15, 2018, J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp. (the “Depositor”) caused the issuance of the JPMDB 2018-C8, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2018-C8, pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2018 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among J.P.

The Certificates represent, in the aggregate, the entire beneficial ownership in the JPMDB Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust 2018-C8 (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 41 fixed-rate mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) secured by first liens on 69 commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties.

The Mortgage Loan identified as “Meridian Corporate Center” on Exhibit B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Meridian Corporate Center Mortgage Loan”), which is an asset of the Issuing Entity, is part of a whole loan (the “Meridian Corporate 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 Meridian Corporate Center Whole Loan is being serviced and administered pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of July 1, 2018 and as to which an executed version is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 (the “Benchmark 2018-B4 PSA”), among Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, CWCapital Asset Management LLC, as special servicer, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator, paying agent and custodian, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor and asset representations reviewer, relating to the Benchmark 2018-B4 securitization transaction into which the related controlling companion loan is deposited.

The terms and conditions of the Benchmark 2018-B4 Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the servicing of the Meridian Corporate 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 June 15, 2018.
