Item 1.01.       Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Item 6.02.      Change of Servicer or Trustee.

On August 22, 2018, Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp. (the “Depositor”) caused the issuance, pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of August 1, 2018 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp. (the “Registrant”), as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, LNR Partners, 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, of CSAIL Commercial Mortgage Trust 2018-CX12, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2018-CX12 (the “Certificates”).

The Mortgage Loan identified as the Riverfront Plaza Mortgage Loan in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which is an asset of the Issuing Entity, is part of a whole loan (the “Riverfront Plaza Whole Loan”) that also includes additional pari passu promissory notes that are not assets of the Issuing Entity. The Riverfront Plaza Whole Loan was being serviced and administered pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of July 1, 2018 (the “UBS 2018-C11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement”) by and among UBS Commercial Mortgage Securitization Corp., as depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer, LNR Partners, LLC, as special servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator and as trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer relating to the UBS 2018-C11 transaction, but is now being serviced and administered pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of August 1, 2018 (the “UBS 2018-C12 Pooling and Servicing Agreement”) by and among UBS Commercial Mortgage Securitization Corp., as depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer and as special servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator and as trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer, relating to the UBS 2018-C12 securitization transaction into which the controlling companion loan is deposited.

The terms and conditions of the UBS 2018-C12 Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the servicing of the Riverfront Plaza Mortgage Loan are substantially similar to the terms and conditions of the UBS 2018-C11 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as described under “Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” in the Prospectus filed by the Issuing Entity pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) with respect to the Certificates on August 22, 2018; provided that under the UBS 2018-C12 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the minimum monthly special servicing fee for a mortgage loan is $3,500. The UBS 2018-C12 Pooling and Servicing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
