Item 1.01.     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 29, 2018 Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp. (the “Depositor”) caused the issuance, pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of November 1, 2018, among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp. (the “Registrant”), as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as special servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer, of CSAIL Commercial Mortgage Trust 2018-C14, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2018-C14 (the “Certificates”).

The Mortgage Loan identified as the Holiday Inn FiDi Mortgage Loan in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which is an asset of the Issuing Entity, is part of a whole loan (the “Holiday Inn FiDi Whole Loan”) that also includes additional pari passu promissory notes that are not assets of the Issuing Entity. The Holiday Inn FiDi Whole Loan was being serviced and administered pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of October 1, 2018 (the “WFCM 2018-C47 Pooling and Servicing Agreement”) by and among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, 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 relating to the WFCM 2018-C47 transaction, but is now being serviced and administered pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of December 1, 2018 (the “CGCMT 2018-C6 Pooling and Servicing Agreement”) by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as special servicer, Citibank, N.A., as certificate administrator, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer, relating to the CGCMT 2018-C6 securitization transaction into which the controlling companion loan is deposited.

The terms and conditions of the CGCMT 2018-C6 Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the servicing of the Holiday Inn FiDi Mortgage Loan are substantially similar to the terms and conditions of the WFCM 2018-C47 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 November 29, 2018. The CGCMT 2018-C6 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.
