Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2015, among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

(Terms used but not defined in this Preliminary

Statement shall have the meanings

specified in Article I hereof)

The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple classes which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator will elect that two segregated portions of the Trust Fund (other than the Excess Interest, the Excess Interest Distribution Amount and the proceeds thereof) be treated for federal income tax purposes as two separate REMICs (each, a “Trust REMIC” or, in the alternative, the “Upper-Tier REMIC” and the “Lower-Tier REMIC”, respectively). The Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F and Class X-NR Certificates will represent “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier Residual Interest will represent the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC.

There are also (i) 12 classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests issued under this Agreement (the Class XX-0, Xxxxx XX-0, Class LA-3, Class LA-4, Class LA-SB, Class LA-S, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF and Class LNR Interests), each of which will constitute a class of “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC, and (ii) the Lower-Tier Residual Interest, which will represent the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC.

The Lower-Tier Regular Interests will be held by the Trustee as assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class R Certificates will represent both the Lower-Tier Residual Interest and the Upper-Tier Residual Interest.

UPPER-TIER REMIC

The following table sets forth the Class designation, the approximate initial pass-through rate (the “Pass-Through Rate”), the aggregate initial principal balance (the “Original Certificate Principal Balance”) or, in the case of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F and Class X-NR Certificates, notional amount (the “Original Notional Amount”), as applicable, and the initial ratings given each Class by the Rating Agencies (the “Original Ratings”) for each Class of Certificates comprising or evidencing the interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder:

Class Designation	Approximate Initial Pass-Through Rate (per annum)		Original Certificate Principal Balance / Original Notional Amount			Original Ratings Moody’s/DBRS/KBRA/ Morningstar(1)

Class R(4)	N/A			N/A		NR/NR/NR/NR

(1)	The Certificates marked with “NR” have not been rated by the applicable Rating Agency.

(2)

The Class X-A Pass-Through Rate is variable and, for each Distribution Date, will equal the weighted average of the Class X Strip Rates for the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB and Class A-S Components for such Distribution Date (weighted on the basis of the respective Component Notional Amounts of such Components immediately prior to such Distribution Date). The Class X-B Pass-Through Rate is variable and, for each Distribution Date, will equal the Class X Strip Rate for the Class B Component for such Distribution Date. The Class X-E Pass-Through Rate is variable and, for each Distribution Date, will equal the Class X Strip Rate for the Class E Component for such Distribution Date. The Class X-F Pass-Through Rate is variable and, for each Distribution Date, will equal the Class X Strip Rate for the Class F Component for such Distribution Date. The Class X-NR Pass-Through Rate is variable and, for each Distribution Date, will equal the Class X Strip Rate for the Class NR Component for such Distribution Date.

(3)	The Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F and Class X-NR Certificates will not have Certificate Principal Balances; rather, each such Class of Certificates will accrue interest as provided herein on the related Notional Amount.

(4)

The Class R Certificates do not have a Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount, do not bear interest and will not be entitled to distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges. Any Available Funds remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, after all required distributions under this Agreement have been made to the Holders of the Regular Certificates, will be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates.

LOWER-TIER REMIC

The following table sets forth the Class designation, the corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest (the “Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest”) and its original Lower-Tier Principal Balance, the corresponding component of the Class X Certificates (the

-2-

“Corresponding Component”) and the Original Certificate Principal Balance for each Class of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates). Each Class of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) constitutes the “Corresponding Certificates” with respect to that Class’ Corresponding Lower Tier Regular Interest and Corresponding Component.

Class Designation	Original Certificate Principal Balance			Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest(1)(2)	Original Lower-Tier Principal Balance			Corresponding Component(2)
Class A-1		$	64,150,000	LA-1		$	64,150,000	Class A-1

Class NR		$	48,325,089	LNR		$	48,325,089	Class NR

(1)	The interest rate of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest is the WAC Rate.

(2)	The Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest and Corresponding Component with respect to any Class of Regular Certificates (exclusive of the Class X Certificates) are also the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest and Corresponding Component with respect to each other.

The Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Principal Balance Certificates outstanding at any time represents the maximum amount which holders thereof are then entitled to receive as distributions allocable to principal from the cash flow on the Mortgage Loans and the other assets in the Trust Fund; provided, however, that in the event that amounts previously allocated as Realized Losses to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof are recovered subsequent to the reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class to zero, such Class may receive distributions in respect of such recoveries in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.01 of this Agreement. As of the Cut-Off Date, the Mortgage Loans have an aggregate Stated Principal Balance equal to approximately $1,380,701,089.

GRANTOR TRUST

The portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class Z Specific Grantor Trust Assets shall be treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code (the “Grantor Trust”) for federal income tax purposes. The Class Z Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the Class Z Specific Grantor Trust Assets. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall not take any actions that would cause the Grantor Trust to either (i) lose its status as a “grantor trust” or (ii) be treated as part of either Trust REMIC.

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee agree as follows:

Special Servicer may make in accordance with the Servicing Standard (without implying any obligation to do so) based upon the Special Servicer’s review of the Appraisal and such other information as the Special Servicer may deem appropriate and (B) all escrows, letters of credit and reserves in respect of such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) as of the date of the calculation over (ii) the sum, as of the Due Date occurring in the month of the date of determination of, (A) to the extent not previously advanced by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, all unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan, if applicable) at a per annum rate equal to its Mortgage Loan Rate (and with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, interest on the related Serviced Companion Loan(s) at the related Mortgage Loan Rate), (B) all unreimbursed Advances (which shall include, without limitation, (1) any Advances as to which the advancing party was reimbursed from a source other than the related Mortgagor and (2) any Unliquidated Advances), with interest thereon at the Advance Rate in respect of such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) and (C) all currently due and unpaid real estate taxes and assessments, insurance premiums and ground rents, unpaid Special Servicing Fees and all other amounts, due and unpaid with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) (which taxes, premiums, ground rents and other amounts have not been the subject of an Advance by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and/or for which funds have not been escrowed). Promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event (or a longer period so long as the Special Servicer is (as certified thereby to the Trustee in writing) diligently and in good faith proceeding to obtain such), if an Appraisal has not been obtained within the immediately preceding nine (9) months (or if the Special Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard such Appraisal to be materially inaccurate), the Special Servicer shall obtain an Appraisal, the costs of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance (or as an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance). The Master Servicer shall provide (via electronic delivery) the Special Servicer with information in its possession that the Special Servicer reasonably requires to calculate or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount pursuant to the definition thereof using reasonable efforts to deliver such information within four (4) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s reasonable written request. None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify Appraisal Reduction Amounts. On the first Determination Date occurring on or after the receipt of such Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall calculate or adjust, as applicable, the Appraisal Reduction Amount to take into account such Appraisal and such information, if any, reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer reasonably required to calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Appraisal is required to be obtained in accordance with Section 3.10(a) of this Agreement but is not obtained within 120 days following the events described in the applicable clause of the definition “Appraisal Reduction Event” (without regard to the time periods stated therein), then, until such Appraisal is obtained and solely for purposes of determining the amounts of P&I Advances, the Appraisal Reduction Amount will equal 25% of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan; provided that, upon receipt of an Appraisal by the Special Servicer, however, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for such Mortgage Loan (or the related Serviced Whole Loan, if applicable) will be recalculated in accordance with this definition without regard to this sentence. With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (unless the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) has become a Corrected Mortgage Loan (if a Servicing Transfer Event

-9-

had occurred with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan)) and has remained current for three consecutive Monthly Payments, and with respect to which no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred with respect thereto during the preceding three months), the Special Servicer shall, within 30 days of each anniversary of such Appraisal Reduction Event, order an Appraisal (which may be an update of the prior Appraisal) (the cost of which will be covered by, and reimbursable as, a Property Advance by the Master Servicer or as an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), provided, however, that no new or updated Appraisal will be required if the Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or REO Property is under contract to be sold within 90 days of such Appraisal Reduction Event or anniversary thereof and the Special Servicer reasonably believes such sale is likely to close. Based upon such Appraisal or letter updates thereto, the Special Servicer shall determine and report to the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator the Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to such Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan and, in the case of a Whole Loan, determined in accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement, and each of the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such determination by the Special Servicer. Upon completion, the Special Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such Appraisal to the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, which shall be in electronic format. Each Appraisal Reduction Amount shall also be adjusted with respect to the next Distribution Date to take into account any subsequent Appraisal and annual letter updates, as of the date of each such subsequent Appraisal or letter update.

Upon payment in full or liquidation of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been determined, such Appraisal Reduction Amount will be eliminated. In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan, but not including the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) shall no longer be subject to the Appraisal Reduction Amount if (a) such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) has become a Corrected Mortgage Loan (if a Servicing Transfer Event had occurred with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan)) and such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) becomes and remains current for three consecutive Monthly Payments and (b) no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and is continuing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be the pro rata portion of the “Appraisal Reduction Amount” relating to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, and calculated pursuant to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the applicable Other Master Servicer or Other Special Servicer (or the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan’s pro rata share thereof). The parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on such calculations as reported to them by the applicable Other Special Servicer or Other Master Servicer. By their acceptance of their Certificates, the Certificateholders will be deemed to have acknowledged that each applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement taken together, provide that any such “Appraisal Reduction Amount” will be calculated by the applicable Other Special Servicer or Other Master Servicer under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

If an Appraisal Reduction Event occurs with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Whole Loan, then an Appraisal Reduction Event shall be deemed to also have occurred with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan. If an Appraisal Reduction Event occurs with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, then an Appraisal Reduction Event shall be deemed to also have occurred with respect to the related Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Whole Loan. No Appraisal Reduction Event may occur at any time when the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A Certificates) has been reduced to zero.
