viii - This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated and effective as of May 1, 2026, among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Trimont LLC, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT: The Depositor intends to sell commercial mortgage pass-through certificates (collectively, the “ Certificates ”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust to be created hereunder, the primary assets of which will be a pool of commercial mortgage loans. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall elect or shall cause an election to be made to treat designated portions of the Trust for federal income tax purposes as two (2) separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (the “ Upper-Tier REMIC ” and the “ Lower-Tier REMIC ”, and each a “ Trust REMIC ” as described herein). The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates to the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers. LOWER-TIER REMIC The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Mortgage Loans and will issue the Class LA1, Class LA2, Class LA3, Class LAS, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF, Class LGRR, Class LHRR and Class LJRR Uncertificated Interests (the “ Lower-Tier Regular Interests ”), which will evidence the “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Lower-Tier REMIC will also issue the uncertificated Class LR Interest, which is the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions and is represented by the Class R Certificates. The following table sets forth the Class designation, the initial Lower-Tier Principal Amounts and per annum rates of interest for the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class LR Interest: Class Designation Interest Rate Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount Class LA1   (1) $5,383,000 Class LA2   (1) $76,585,000 Class LA3   (1) $351,987,000 Class LAS   (1) $44,945,000 Class LB   (1) $34,096,000 Class LC   (1) $26,348,000 Class LD   (1) $24,022,000 Class LE   (1) $8,524,000 Class LF   (1) $6,200,000 Class Designation Interest Rate Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount Class LGRR   (1) $10,074,000 Class LHRR   (1) $8,524,000 Class LJRR   (1) $23,247,843 Class LR None   (2) None (2) (1) The interest rate for each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests on any Distribution Date will be the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate for such Distribution Date. (2) The Class LR Interest (evidenced by the Class R Certificates) will not have a Certificate Balance or a Notional Amount, will not bear interest and will not be entitled to distributions of Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges. Any Available Funds remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account after distributing the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount will be deemed distributed to the Class LR Interest and shall be payable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates. UPPER-TIER REMIC The Upper-Tier REMIC will hold the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and will issue the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G-RR, Class H-RR and Class J-RR Certificates, which will evidence the “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder. Each such regular interest will be represented by, and have the same Pass-Through Rate and Certificate Balance or Notional Amount as, the Class of Certificates bearing the same Class designation as set forth in the chart below. The Upper-Tier REMIC will also issue the uncertificated Class UR Interest, which is the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions and is represented by the Class R Certificates. The Class R Certificates will not have a Certificate Balance or a Notional Amount, bear interest or be entitled to distributions of Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges. Any Available Funds remaining in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, after all required distributions under this Agreement have been made to each Class of Regular Certificates will be deemed distributed to the Class UR Interest and shall be payable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates. The following table (and related paragraphs) sets forth the Class designation, the approximate initial pass-through rate and the aggregate initial principal amount (the “ Original Certificate Balance ”) or Notional Amount (the “ Original Notional Amount ”), as applicable, for each Class of Regular Certificates: Class Designation Initial Pass-Through Rate (1) Original Certificate Balance or Original Notional Amount Class A-1 4.62700% $5,383,000 Class A-2 4.99700% $76,585,000 Class A-3 5.48600% $351,987,000 Class X-A 1.45549% $433,955,000   (2) Class X-B 0.96013% $105,389,000   (2) Class A-S 5.80200% $44,945,000 - 2 - Class Designation Initial Pass-Through Rate (1) Original Certificate Balance or Original Notional Amount Class B 6.10000% $34,096,000 Class C 5.74600%     $26,348,000 Class X-D 2.34454% $24,022,000   (2) Class X-E 2.34454% $8,524,000   (2) Class X-F 2.34454% $6,200,000   (2) Class D 4.50000% $24,022,000 Class E 4.50000%  $8,524,000 Class F 4.50000%  $6,200,000 Class G-RR 6.84454% $10,074,000 Class H-RR 6.84454% $8,524,000 Class J-RR 6.84454% $23,247,843 Class R None (3) N/A (3) (1) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Regular Certificates will be calculated in accordance with the definition of “Pass-Through Rate”. (2) None of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E or Class X-F Certificates will have a Certificate Balance or be entitled to distributions of principal; rather, such Classes will accrue interest as provided herein on the Notional Amount thereof. (3) The Class R Certificates will not have a Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, bear interest or be entitled to distributions of Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges. Any Available Funds remaining in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, after all required distributions under this Agreement have been made to each Class of Regular Certificates will be deemed distributed to the Class UR Interest and shall be payable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates. The foregoing structure is intended to cause all of the cash flow from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Upper-Tier REMIC as cash flow on the Regular Certificates, without creating any shortfall, actual or potential (other than for credit losses), to any REMIC regular interests issued hereunder. To the extent that the structure is believed to diverge from such intention (without implying any duty of any such party to identify any such ambiguity), the party or parties identifying the subject defect or ambiguity shall notify the other parties hereto, whereupon the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the subject defect or ambiguity to accomplish the intended result and will to the extent necessary rectify any drafting errors or seek clarification to the structure without Certificateholder approval (but with guidance of counsel) to accomplish such intention, including, to the extent necessary, making any amendments in accordance with Section 13.01 of this Agreement. The other parties hereto agree to reasonably cooperate with the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator in connection with any amendment to this Agreement in furtherance of the foregoing. As of the close of business on the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans had an aggregate principal balance, after application of all payments of principal due on or before such date, whether or not received, equal to $619,935,844. - 3 - WHOLE LOANS Loan No. Whole Loan Type Non-Serviced PSA/TSA Mortgage Loan Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) AB Subordinate Companion Loan(s) 1 Mall at Prince George’s Serviced N/A A-1, A-2 A-3, A-4, A-5 N/A 3 535 & 545 5th Avenue Non-Serviced BMARK 2026-V20 PSA A-8 A-1, A-2-1, A-2-2, A-3, A-4, A-5, A-6, A-7, A-9, A-10, A-11, A-12-1, A-12-2 N/A 8 Del Rey Campus Serviced N/A A-1 A-2, A-3, A-4 N/A 9 Mountain Industrial Portfolio Non-Serviced MTN 2026-LPFX TSA A-3-1-2, A-4-1-2 A-1-1, A-2-1, A-1-2, A-2-2, A-1-3, A-2-3, A-1-4, A-2-4, A-1-5, A-2-5, A-1-6, A-2-6, A-3-1-1, A-4-1-1, A-3-2-1, A-4-2-1, A-3-2-2, A-4-2-2, A-3-2-3, A-4-2-3, A-3-3, A-4-3, A-3-4, A-4-4, A-3-5, A-4-5, A-3-6, A-4-6 B-1-1, B-2-1.
