The K-716 Certificates are backed by corresponding classes issued by the FREMF 2014-K716 Mortgage Trust ("K-716 Trust") and guaranteed by Freddie Mac. The K-716 Trust will also issue certificates consisting of the Class B, C, D, and R Certificates, which will not be guaranteed by Freddie Mac and will not back any class of K-716 Certificates. 

The K-716 transaction includes enhancements to Freddie Mac's servicing standard which improves the alignment of securitization party interests as well as the consistency, quality and speed of borrower transactions.
