Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC will act as co-lead managers and co-bookrunners with respect to the Offered Certificates in the following manner:  Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated is acting as sole bookrunner with respect to 59.2% of each Class of the Offered Certificates and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is acting as sole bookrunner with respect to 40.8% of each Class of the Offered Certificates.  CIBC World Markets Corp. and Drexel Hamilton, LLC will act as co-managers with respect to the Offered Certificates.

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters are subject to conditions precedent, and that the Underwriters severally will be obligated to purchase all of the Offered Certificates if any are purchased.  In the event of a default by an Underwriter, the Underwriting Agreement provides that the purchase commitment of the non-defaulting Underwriters may be increased.  The depositor expects to receive from this offering approximately $              , plus accrued interest from October 1, 2015, before deducting expenses of the offering.

The Underwriters have advised us that they will propose to offer the Offered Certificates from time to time for sale in one or more negotiated transactions or otherwise at varying prices to be determined at the time of sale.  The Underwriters may effect such transactions by selling such classes of Offered Certificates to or through dealers and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Underwriters and any purchasers of such classes of Offered Certificates for whom they may act as agent.

One or more affiliates of the Underwriters have entered into and may, in the future, enter into other financing arrangements with affiliates of some or all of the borrowers.  Affiliates of the Underwriters, including Bank of America, National Association and Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC and CIBC Inc., engage in, and intend to continue to engage in, the acquisition, development, operation, financing and disposition of real estate-related assets in the ordinary course of their business, and are not prohibited in any way from engaging in business activities similar to or competitive with those of the borrowers.  See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest” in the Free Writing Prospectus.

Each Underwriter has represented and agreed, that:

(a)    in the United Kingdom, it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”)) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any Offered Certificates in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Issuing Entity or the depositor; and

(b)    it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Offered Certificates in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

In relation to each member state of the European Economic Area which has implemented the EU Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), each Underwriter has represented and agreed that, with effect from and including the date on which the EU Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State, it has not made and will not make an offer of the Offered Certificates which are the subject of the offering contemplated by the prospectus supplement to the public in that Relevant Member State other than:

(a)    to any legal entity which is a “qualified investor” as defined in the EU Prospectus Directive;

(b)    to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than “qualified investors” as defined in the EU Prospectus Directive) subject to obtaining the prior consent of the relevant Underwriter nominated by the depositor for any such offer; or

(c)    in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the EU Prospectus Directive;

3

provided, that no such offer of the Offered Certificates above shall require the Issuing Entity, the depositor or any Underwriter to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the EU Prospectus Directive.

For the purposes of the prior paragraph, (1) the expression an “offer of the Offered Certificates which are the subject of the offering contemplated by the prospectus supplement to the public” in relation to any Offered Certificate in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Certificates to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe to the Offered Certificates, as the same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the EU Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State and (2) the expression “EU Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, including by Directive 2010/73/EU) and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State.

Each Underwriter has agreed that it will not offer or sell any Offered Certificates, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any Japanese Person, or to others for re-offering or resale, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to any Japanese Person, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the FIEL and any other applicable laws and regulations.  For the purposes of this paragraph, “Japanese Person” shall mean any person resident in Japan, including any corporation or other entity organized under the laws and regulations of Japan.

In connection with the offering, the Underwriters may purchase and sell the Offered Certificates in the open market.  These transactions may include purchases to cover short positions created by an Underwriter in connection with the offering.  Short positions created by an Underwriter involve the sale by the Underwriter of a greater number of Offered Certificates than it is required to purchase from the depositor in the offering.  An Underwriter also may impose a penalty bid, whereby selling concessions allowed to broker-dealers in respect of the securities sold in the offering may be reclaimed by the Underwriter if the Offered Certificates are repurchased by the Underwriter in covering transactions.  These activities may maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Offered Certificates, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market; and these activities, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.  These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

The Offered Certificates are offered by the Underwriters when, as and if issued by the Issuing Entity and delivered to and accepted by the Underwriters and subject to their right to reject orders in whole or in part.  It is expected that delivery of the Offered Certificates will be made in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC against payment therefor on or about October 15, 2015, which is the        business day following the first date of pricing of the Offered Certificates.

Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three (3) business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise.  Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Offered Certificates in the secondary market prior to such delivery should specify a longer settlement cycle, or should refrain from specifying a shorter settlement cycle, to the extent that failing to do so would result in a settlement date that is earlier than the date of delivery of such Offered Certificates.

The Underwriters and any dealers that participate with the Underwriters in the distribution of the Offered Certificates may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts or commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of such classes of Offered Certificates by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

We and the sponsors have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

One or more of the Underwriters currently intend to make a secondary market in the Offered Certificates, but they are not obligated to do so, and any market making effort may be discontinued at any time.

MLPF&S, an Underwriter, is an affiliate of Bank of America, National Association, a mortgage loan seller, an originator and a sponsor. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, one of the underwriters, is an affiliate of Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC, a mortgage loan seller, a sponsor, an originator and the initial holder of the Herald Center Serviced Companion Loan, and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., an originator and the initial holder of a portion of the Coastal Equities Retail Portfolio Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

A substantial portion of the net proceeds of this offering (after the payment of underwriting compensation and transaction expenses) are intended to be directed to affiliates of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, one of the Underwriters and one of the co-lead managers and co-bookrunners for this offering, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, one of the Underwriters and one of the co-lead managers and co-bookrunners for this offering, and CIBC World Markets Corp., one of the Underwriters and a co-manager for this offering.  That flow of funds will occur by means of the collective effect of the payment by the Underwriters to the depositor of the purchase price for the Offered Certificates and (i) the payment by the depositor to Bank of America, National Association (an affiliate of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated), in its capacity as a mortgage loan seller, of the purchase price for the Bank of America Mortgage Loans; (ii)  the payment by the depositor to Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC (an affiliate of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC), in its capacity as a mortgage loan seller, of the purchase price for the MSMCH Mortgage Loans; and (iii)  the payment by the depositor to CIBC Inc. (an affiliate of CIBC World Markets Corp.), in its capacity as a mortgage loan seller, of the purchase price for the CIBC Mortgage Loans.   In addition, proceeds received by Starwood Mortgage Funding III LLC in connection with the contribution of the SMF III Mortgage Loans to this securitization transaction will be applied, among other things, to directly or indirectly reacquire any such mortgage loans that are financed with, and to make the applicable payments to, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. (an affiliate of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC), as the related repurchase agreement counterparty.  As a result of the circumstances described above, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, and CIBC World Markets Corp. have a “conflict of interest” within the meaning of Rule 5121 of the consolidated rules of The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.  In addition, other circumstances exist that result in the Underwriters or their affiliates having conflicts of interest, notwithstanding that such circumstances may not constitute a “conflict of interest” within the meaning of such Rule 5121.  See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest—Conflicts of Interest of the Underwriters” in the Free Writing Prospectus.
 


This free writing prospectus is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Offered Certificates in any state where such offer, solicitation or sale is not permitted.

The information in this free writing prospectus, if conveyed prior to the time of your contractual commitment to purchase any of the Offered Certificates, supersedes any conflicting information contained in the Free Writing Prospectus, the Term Sheet and any other prior similar materials relating to the Offered Certificates.  The information in this free writing prospectus may be amended or supplemented.  This free writing prospectus is being delivered to you solely to provide you with information about the offering of the Offered Certificates referred to in the Free Writing Prospectus and to solicit an offer to purchase the Offered Certificates, when, as and if issued.  Any such offer to purchase made by you will not constitute a contractual commitment by you to purchase or give rise to an obligation by the underwriters to sell any of the Offered Certificates until the underwriters have accepted your offer to purchase Offered Certificates.  Any “indications of interest” expressed by you, and any “soft circles” generated by us, will not create binding contractual obligations for you or us.
 


Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the Offered Certificates or determined if this free writing prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
