Section 1. Registrant’s Business and Operations.

On or about November 21, 2019, a series of mortgage pass-through certificates, entitled Benchmark 2019-B14 Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2019-B14 (the “Certificates”), was issued by Benchmark 2019-B14 Mortgage Trust (the “Issuing Entity”), pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2019 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp. (the “Registrant”), 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 Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor and as asset representations reviewer. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Mortgage Loan identified as “Innovation Park” on Exhibit B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Innovation Park Mortgage Loan”), which is an asset of the Issuing Entity, is part of a whole loan (the “Innovation Park Whole Loan”) that includes the Innovation Park Mortgage Loan, and two pari passu promissory notes (collectively, the “Companion Loans”) that are not assets of the Issuing Entity. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Innovation Park Whole Loan is to be serviced and administered (i) until the securitization of the related controlling Companion Loan, under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) from and after the securitization of the related controlling Companion Loan, under the pooling and servicing agreement entered into in connection with that securitization.

On December 18, 2019, the controlling Companion Loan related to the Innovation Park Whole Loan was securitized pursuant to the Benchmark 2019-B15 Mortgage Trust securitization transaction. As of such date, the Innovation Park Whole Loan, including the Innovation Park Mortgage Loan, is being serviced and administered under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2019 (the “Benchmark 2019-B15 Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as master servicer and 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. The Benchmark 2019-B15 Pooling and Servicing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The terms and conditions of the Benchmark 2019-B15 Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the servicing of the Innovation Park Mortgage Loan are substantially similar to the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to the servicing of the other Mortgage Loans, as described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement” in the Prospectus filed by the Issuing Entity pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) with respect to the Certificates on November 21, 2019 (the “Prospectus”), however the servicing arrangements under such agreements will differ in certain respects, including the items set forth under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans—General” in the Prospectus and the following:
