The expected ratings are based on information provided by the issuer as of April 17, 2014. Fitch does not expect to rate the $56,382,769 non-rated class, the $105,717,769 interest-only class X-C, and the $21,703,000 class CSQ.

The certificates represent the beneficial ownership in the trust, primary assets of which are 69 loans secured by 100 commercial properties having an aggregate principal balance of approximately $1.41 billion as of the cutoff date. The loans were contributed to the trust by JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association; Barclays Bank PLC; KeyBank National Association; and Starwood Mortgage Funding II LLC.

Fitch reviewed a comprehensive sample of the transaction's collateral, including site inspections on 81.6% of the properties by balance, cash flow analysis on 75.1%, and asset summary reviews on 75.1% of the pool.

The transaction has a Fitch stressed debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of 1.32x, a Fitch stressed loan-to-value (LTV) of 100.9%, and a Fitch debt yield of 10.2%. Fitch's aggregate net cash flow represents a variance of 7.7% to issuer cash flows.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

Improved Leverage from Recent Transactions: The pool's Fitch DSCR and LTV are 1.32x and 100.9%, respectively, are better than the 2013 and 2014 year-to-date (YTD) averages of 1.29x and 101.6%, and 1.18x and 104.7%, respectively.

Above-Average Property Quality: Fitch assigned property quality grades of 'A-' or better to three of the 10 largest loans in the pool, which represent 13.1% of the balance of properties inspected by Fitch. Furthermore, property quality grades of 'B+' or better were assigned to 44.2% of the balance of properties inspected by Fitch.

Limited Amortization: The pool is scheduled to amortize by 10.62% of the initial pool balance prior to maturity. The pool's concentration of partial interest loans of 29.4% is lower than the 2013 and 2014 YTD averages of 34% and 37.63%, respectively. However, the pool's concentration of full-term interest-only loans at 36.4% is higher than the 2013 and 2014 YTD averages of 17.1% and 15.8%, respectively. There is one fully amortizing loan, Centerville Square (2.7%), and Grand Williston Hotel (0.8%) is a five-year loan amortizing on a 10-year schedule.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

For this transaction, Fitch's net cash flow (NCF) was 10.26% below the most recent reported net operating income (NOI) (for properties that 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 severity on defaulted loans and could result in potential rating actions on the certificates. Fitch evaluated the sensitivity of the ratings assigned to JPMBB 2014-C19 certificates and found that the transaction displays average sensitivity to further declines in NCF. In a scenario in which NCF declined a further 10% from Fitch's NCF, a downgrade of the junior 'AAAsf' certificates to 'AAsf' could result. In a scenario in which NCF declined a further 20% from Fitch's NCF, a downgrade of the junior 'AAAsf' certificates to 'A-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.

Key Rating Drivers and Rating Sensitivities are further described in the accompanying pre-sale report.

The master servicer will be KeyBank National Association, rated 'CMS1' by Fitch. The special servicer will be Midland Loan Services, Inc. rated 'CSS1' by Fitch.
