KEY RATING DRIVERS

High Fitch Leverage: The pool's Fitch DSCR and LTV are 1.08x and 116.1%, respectively. While the DSCR is in line with Fitch-rated, 10-year, K-series Freddie Mac deals in 2015 year-to-date (YTD), the LTV represents higher leverage. The 2015 YTD average DSCR and LTV for Fitch-rated, 10-year, K-series Freddie Mac deals are 1.09x and 114.9%, respectively.

Loan Concentration: The top 10 loans comprise 34.8% of the pool, which is lower than the 2015 YTD average of 37.8% for Fitch-rated, 10-year, K-series Freddie Mac deals. The largest loan in the pool, 80 Lafayette, represents 10.2% of the pool, while the second largest loan, Cunningham Heights, represents 5.2% of the pool.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Fitch performed two model-based break-even analyses to determine the level of cash flow and value deterioration the pool could withstand prior to $1 of loss being experienced by the 'BBB-sf' and 'AAAsf' rated classes. Fitch found that the FREMF 2015-K46 pool could withstand a 50.83% decline in value (based on appraised values at issuance) and an approximately 12.82% decrease to the most recent actual cash flow prior to experiencing $1 of loss to any 'AAAsf' rated class. Additionally, Fitch found that the pool could withstand a 44.28% decline in value and an approximately 2.19% decrease in the most recent actual cash flow prior to experiencing $1 of loss to the 'BBB-sf' rated class.

The Master Servicer is KeyBank National Association, rated 'CMS1' by Fitch. The Special Servicer is Wells Fargo Bank National Association, rated 'CSS2', by Fitch.
