KEY RATING DRIVERS

High Fitch Leverage: This transaction has higher leverage than other recent Fitch-rated fixed-rate deals. The pool's Fitch debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) and loan to value (LTV) of 1.16x and 107.7%, respectively, are worse than the first-half 2014 averages of 1.19x and 105.6%.

Pool Concentration: The pool is diverse by loan size and sponsor as compared to average transactions from 2013 and first-half 2014, as evidenced by a loan concentration index (LCI) of 277 and sponsor concentration index (SCI) of 298. Also, the 10 largest loan exposures represent 42.4% of the total pool balance, which is lower than the average 2013 and first-half 2014 top-10 concentration of 54.5% and 52.5%, respectively.

High Hotel Concentration: Hotel properties make up 20.8% of the pool, which is greater than the 2013 and first-half 2014 averages of 14.7% and 13.3%, respectively. Hotels have the highest probability of default in Fitch's multiborrower model.

Above-Average Property Quality: Fitch assigned property quality grades of 'A-' or better to 10.6% of the pool by balance (13.8% of properties inspected by Fitch), including two of the five largest loans in the pool. Furthermore, property quality grades of 'B+' or better were assigned to 35.4% of the balance of properties inspected by Fitch.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

For this transaction, Fitch's net cash flow (NCF) was 20.1% below the most recent net operating income (NOI; for properties for which a recent NOI was provided, excluding properties that were stabilizing during this period). Unanticipated further declines in property-level NCF could result in higher defaults and loss severities on defaulted loans and could result in potential rating actions on the certificates. Fitch evaluated the sensitivity of the ratings assigned to COMM 2014-CCRE19 certificates and found that the transaction displays slightly above average sensitivity to further declines in NCF. In a scenario in which NCF declined a further 20% from Fitch's NCF, a downgrade of the junior 'AAAsf' certificates to 'BBB+sf' could result. In a more severe scenario, in which NCF declined a further 30% from Fitch's NCF, a downgrade of the junior 'AAAsf' certificates to 'BBB-sf' could result. The presale report includes a detailed explanation of additional stresses and sensitivities on pages 83 - 84.

The master servicer will be Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, rated 'CMS1' by Fitch. The special servicer will be Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, rated 'CSS1'.
