This Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated and effective as of October 1, 2012, among X.X. Xxxxxx Xxxxx Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, KeyCorp Real Estate Capital Markets, Inc., as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Senior Trust Advisor.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Depositor intends to sell commercial mortgage pass-through certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes (each, a “Class”), which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the trust fund (the “Trust Fund”) 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 Fund (exclusive of the Excess Interest, the proceeds thereof in the Excess Interest Distribution Account, any Exchangeable Certificates that have been exchanged for the Class EC Certificates and the proceeds thereof in the Class EC Distribution Account) for federal income tax purposes as two separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (the “Upper-Tier REMIC” and the “Lower-Tier REMIC” as described herein).
In addition, the parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of (i) any Exchangeable Certificates that have been exchanged for the Class EC Certificates and the Class EC Distribution Account, and (ii) the Excess Interest, the Excess Interest Distribution Account and the proceeds thereof, shall be treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes (the “Grantor Trust”). The Class EC Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Grantor Trust consisting of the exchanged Exchangeable Certificates and the Class EC Distribution Account. The Class NR Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Grantor Trust consisting of the Excess Interest and proceeds thereof in the Excess Interest Distribution Account. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall take all actions expressly required hereunder to ensure that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust maintains its status as a grantor trust under federal income tax law and not be treated as part of the Lower-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier REMIC.
LOWER-TIER REMIC
The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of Excess Interest) and will issue the Class LA1, Class LA2, Class LA3, Class LASB, Class LAS, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF, Class LG and Class LNR Uncertificated Interests (the “Uncertificated Lower-Tier 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 interest” in the Lower-Tier REMIC and is represented by the Class R Certificates.
The following table sets forth the Original Lower-Tier Principal Amounts and per annum rates of interest for the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests and the Class LR Interest:

The interest rate for such Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests on any Distribution Date will be the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate for such Distribution Date.
|

|
The Class LR Interest (evidenced by the Class R Certificates) will not have a Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, will not bear interest and will not be entitled to distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges. Any Available Distribution Amount 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 Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests and will issue the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class NR Certificates (exclusive of the portion of the Class NR Certificates representing an interest in the Grantor Trust) which will evidence the “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Upper-Tier REMIC also will issue the uncertificated Class UR Interest, which is the sole Class of “residual interest” in the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions and is represented by the Class R Certificates.

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 $1,136,579,989.
The initial Certificate Balance of a Class of Exchangeable Certificates represents the principal balance of such Class without giving effect to any exchange and conversion.

Any such determination may be conclusively relied upon by, but shall not be binding upon, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall have no such option to make an affirmative determination that any P&I Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such P&I Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable.

-48-
Trustee shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. In making such recoverability determination, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan as it may have been modified and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses, (c) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (d) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances which, at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which are being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer, in light of the fact that related proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential source of recovery for such delayed or deferred Advance. In addition, any Person, in considering whether a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any outstanding Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount with respect to other Mortgage Loans which, at the time of such consideration, the reimbursement of which is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee because there is insufficient principal available for such reimbursement, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of reimbursement not only for the P&I Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain, promptly upon request, from the Special Servicer any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information in the Special Servicer’s possession for making a recoverability determination. Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s determination as to the recoverability of any P&I Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders. The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but only prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event), the Senior Trust Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer), the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Senior Trust Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer) and the Certificate Administrator. The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such

determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination and shall include any existing Appraisal of the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property). The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable. In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan.
“Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance”: Any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Mortgage Loan or REO Property which, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, will not be ultimately recoverable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at the Reimbursement Rate, from Late Collections or any other recovery on or in respect of such Mortgage Loan or REO Property. In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan as it may have been modified and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) future expenses and (c) to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries. In addition, any Person, in considering whether a Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts with respect to other Mortgage Loans that, at the time of such consideration, the reimbursement of which is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of recovery not only for the Servicing Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer, may obtain, promptly upon request, from the Special Servicer any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information in the Special Servicer’s possession for making a recoverability determination. The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either of the Special Servicer or Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but only prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event), the Senior Trust Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer) and
-50-
the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Senior Trust Advisor and the Certificate Administrator; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may, at its option and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination may be conclusively relied upon by, but shall not be binding upon, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall have no such option to make an affirmative determination that any Servicing Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status and property inspections, and shall include any existing Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or related Mortgaged Property). The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Servicing Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make Servicing Advances may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable. In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan.

On the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Sellers may deliver one (1) omnibus assignment for all such Mortgage Loans to the Custodian as provided in Section 2.01(b). Except under the circumstances provided for in the last sentence of this subsection (c), the related Mortgage Loan Seller will itself, or a third party at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense will, promptly (and in any event within one hundred-twenty (120) days after the later of the Closing Date and the Custodian’s actual receipt of the related documents and the necessary recording and filing information) cause to be submitted for recording or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public office for real property records or UCC Financing Statements, as appropriate, each assignment to the Trustee referred to in clauses (iii) and (v) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and each UCC assignment to the Trustee referred to in clause (xi) of the definition of “Mortgage File”. Each such Assignment submitted for recording shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording office to the Custodian or its designee following recording (or to the agent of the related Mortgage Loan Seller who will then be responsible for delivery of the same to the Custodian or its designee), and each such UCC assignment submitted for recording or filing shall reflect that the file copy thereof should be returned to the Custodian or its designee following recording or filing (or to the agent of the related Mortgage Loan Seller who will then be responsible for delivery of the same to the Custodian or its designee). If any such document or instrument is determined to be incomplete or not to meet the recording or filing requirements of the jurisdiction in which it is to be recorded or filed, or is lost by the public office or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be,
-82-
because of a defect therein, on or about one hundred-eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall prepare, at its own expense, a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee shall, at the expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller, upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate. If, by the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian has not received confirmation of the recording or filing as the case may be, of any such Assignment, it shall so advise the related Mortgage Loan Seller who may then pursue such confirmation itself or request that the Custodian pursue such confirmation at the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, and upon such a request and provision for payment of such expenses satisfactory to the Custodian, the Custodian, at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, shall cause a search of the land records of each applicable jurisdiction and of the records of the offices of the applicable Secretary of State for confirmation that the Assignment appears in such records and retain a copy of such confirmation in the related Mortgage File. In the event that confirmation of the recording or filing of an Assignment cannot be obtained, the Custodian or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable, shall promptly inform the other and the Custodian shall provide such Mortgage Loan Seller with a copy of the Assignment and request the preparation of a new Assignment. The related Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay the expenses for the preparation of replacement Assignments for any Assignments which, having been properly submitted for filing or recording to the appropriate governmental office by the Custodian, fail to appear of record and must be resubmitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no requirement to record any assignment to the Trustee referred to in clause (iii) or (v) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” or to file any UCC-3 to the Trustee referred to in clause (xi) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” in those jurisdictions where, in the written opinion of local counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller) acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee, such recordation and/or filing is not required to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan against sale, further assignment, satisfaction or discharge by the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or the Depositor.
(d) All documents and records in the Depositor’s or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s possession relating to the Mortgage Loans (including, in each case, financial statements, operating statements and any other information provided by the respective Mortgagor from time to time, but excluding the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s internal communications (including such communications between such Mortgage Loan Seller and its Affiliates) and underwriting analysis (including documents prepared by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or any of its Affiliates for such purposes), draft documents, attorney-client communications that are privileged communications or constitute legal or other due diligence analyses and credit underwriting or due diligence analyses or data) that (i) are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File in accordance with the definition thereof and (ii) are reasonably necessary for the servicing of each such Mortgage Loan, together with copies of all documents in each Mortgage File, shall be delivered by the Depositor or the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the Master Servicer within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date and shall be held by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests). Such documents and records shall be any documents and records (with the exception of any items excluded under the immediately preceding sentence) that would otherwise be a part of the Servicing File.
-83-
(e) In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, on or before two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date, a fully executed original counterpart of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements, as in full force and effect, without amendment or modification, on the Closing Date.
(f) The Depositor shall use its reasonable best efforts to require that, promptly after the Closing Date, but in all events within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, each of the Mortgage Loan Sellers shall cause all funds on deposit in escrow accounts maintained with respect to the Mortgage Loans transferred by such Mortgage Loan Seller, whether such accounts are held in the name of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or any other name to be transferred to the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer) for deposit into Servicing Accounts.
Section 2.02 Acceptance by Trustee. (a) The Trustee, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement (1) acknowledges receipt by it or a Custodian on its behalf, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim, of the applicable documents specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” with respect to each Mortgage Loan and of all other assets included in the Trust Fund and (2) declares (a) that it or a Custodian on its behalf holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers that constitute the Mortgage Files, and (b) that it holds and will hold such other assets included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. If any Mortgage Loan Seller is unable to deliver or cause the delivery of any original Mortgage Note, such Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver a copy of such Mortgage Note, together with a signed lost note affidavit and appropriate indemnity and shall thereby be deemed to have satisfied the document delivery requirements of Sections 2.01 and 2.02.
(b) Within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date, the Custodian, shall review the Mortgage Loan documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers constituting the Mortgage Files; and, promptly following such review (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date), the Custodian shall, in the form attached as Exhibit Q, certify in writing to each of the Rating Agencies, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full)) that, except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such writing (the “Custodial Exception Report”), (i) all documents specified in clauses (i) through (v), (ix) through (xii) and (xvi), if any, of the definition of “Mortgage File”, as applicable, are in its possession, (ii) the foregoing documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers have been reviewed by the Custodian and appear regular on their face and appear to be executed and to relate to such Mortgage Loan, and (iii) based on such examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (iv), (vi) and (viii)(c) in the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” is correct. With respect to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Custodial Exception Report, the Custodian shall specifically identify such Mortgage Loan together with the nature of such exception (in the form reasonably acceptable to the Custodian and the related Mortgage Loan Seller and separating items required to be in the Mortgage File but never delivered from
-84-
items which were delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller but are out for filing or recording and have not been returned by the filing office or the recorder’s office).
(c) The Custodian shall review the Mortgage Loan documents received subsequent to the Closing Date; and, on or about the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall, in the form attached as Exhibit Q, certify in writing to each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any related Mortgage Loan as to which a Liquidation Event has occurred) or any related Mortgage Loan specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such writing) that, (i) all documents specified in clauses (i) through (v), (ix) through (xii) and (xvi), if any, of the definition of “Mortgage File”, as applicable, are in its possession, (ii) the foregoing documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers have been reviewed by the Custodian and appear regular on their face and appear to be executed and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on such examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (iv), (vi) and (viii)(c) in the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” is correct.
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.02 and Section 2.03(b) to the contrary, in the case of a Defect in any of the documents specified in clauses (ii) through (v), (viii), (ix), (xi) and (xii) in the definition of “Mortgage File”, which Defect results solely from a delay in the return of the related documents from the applicable filing or recording office and gives rise to a repurchase or substitution obligation on the part of the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Directing Certificateholder, in its sole judgment, may (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event), and the Special Servicer may, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Event, permit the related Mortgage Loan Seller in lieu of repurchasing or substituting for the related Mortgage Loan, to deposit with the Master Servicer an amount, to be held in trust in a segregated Eligible Account (which may be a sub-account of the Certificate Account), equal to 25% of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan (in the alternative, the related Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver to the Master Servicer a letter of credit in such amount, with a copy to the Custodian). Such funds or letter of credit, as applicable, shall be held by the Master Servicer (i) until the date on which the Custodian determines and notifies the Master Servicer that such Defect has been cured or the related Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, at which time the Master Servicer shall return such funds (or letter of credit) to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or (ii) until same are applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable) as set forth below in this Section 2.02(d) in the event of a repurchase or substitution by the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding sentences, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer certifies to the Trustee that it has determined in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that the document with respect to which such Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to
-85-
repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the terms and conditions of Section 2.03(b) and Section 6 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that such Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to repurchase the Mortgage Loan for a period of ninety (90) days after receipt of a notice to repurchase (together with any applicable extension period) if it is attempting to recover the document from the applicable filing or recording office and provides an officer’s certificate setting forth what actions such Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with such recovery. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, upon the date of such repurchase or substitution, and in the event that the related Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered a letter of credit to the Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.02(d), the Master Servicer shall, to the extent necessary, draw on the letter of credit and deposit the proceeds of such draw, into the Certificate Account to be applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable, in which event, the amount of such funds or proceeds that exceed the Substitution Shortfall Amount shall be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller) in accordance with Section 2.03(b). All such funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments, at the direction and for the benefit of the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Such funds shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” under the REMIC Provisions, which, together with any reimbursement from the Lower-Tier REMIC, is beneficially owned by the related Mortgage Loan Seller for federal income tax purposes, which Mortgage Loan Seller shall remain liable for any taxes payable on income or gain with respect thereto.
(e) It is herein acknowledged that neither the Trustee nor any Custodian is under any duty or obligation (i) to determine whether any of the documents specified in clauses (vi), (vii), (viii), (xiii), (xiv), (xv) and (xvii) through (xxv) of the definition of “Mortgage File” exist or are required to be delivered by the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers or any other Person (unless identified on the Mortgage Loan Checklist) or (ii) to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, duly authorized, sufficient to perfect and maintain the perfection of a security interest or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face and, with respect to the documents specified in clause (ix) of the definition of the “Mortgage File”, whether the insurance is effective as of the date of the recordation, whether all endorsements or riders issued are included in the file or if the policy has not been issued whether any acceptable replacement document has been dated the date of the related Mortgage Loan funding. Further, with respect to the UCC financing statements referenced in the Mortgage File, absent actual knowledge to the contrary or copies of UCC financing statements delivered to the Custodian as part of the Mortgage File indicating otherwise, the Custodian may assume, for the purposes of the filings and the certification to be delivered in accordance with this Section 2.02 that the related Mortgage File should include one state level UCC financing statement filing for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two or more Mortgagors, for each Mortgagor, except to the extent multiple Mortgagors are named as debtors in the same UCC financing statement filing), or if the Custodian has received notice that a particular UCC financing statement was filed as a fixture filing, that the related Mortgage File should include only a local UCC financing statement filing for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two or more Mortgagors, for each Mortgagor, except to the extent multiple Mortgagors are named as debtors in the same UCC financing statement filing). The assignments of the UCC financing statements to be assigned to the Trust will be delivered on the
-86-
new national forms (or on such other form as may be acceptable for filing or recording in the applicable jurisdiction) and in a format suitable for filing or recording, as applicable, and will be filed or recorded in the jurisdiction(s) where such UCC financing statements were originally filed or recorded, as indicated in the documents provided, and in accordance with then-current laws.
(f) If, in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files or at any time thereafter, the Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File (1) not to have been properly executed, (2) subject to Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(c), not to have been delivered, (3) to contain information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or (4) to be defective on its face (each, a “Defect” in the related Mortgage File), the Custodian shall promptly so notify the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (and in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date and every calendar quarter thereafter, commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2013 until all Defects are corrected) by providing a Custodial Exception Report setting forth for each affected Mortgage Loan, with particularity, the nature of such Defect (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Custodian and such Mortgage Loan Seller and separating items required to be in the Mortgage File but never delivered from items which were delivered by such Mortgage Loan Seller but are out for recording or filing and have not been returned by the recorder’s office or filing office).
(g) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (i) receives any request or demand for repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan because of a breach of or alleged breach of a representation or warranty or a Defect (any such request or demand for repurchase or replacement, a “Repurchase Request”, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent it receives a Repurchase Request, the “Repurchase Request Recipient” with respect to such Repurchase Request); or (ii) receives any withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Person making such Repurchase Request or any rejection of a Repurchase Request (or such a Repurchase Request is forwarded to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer by another party hereto), then the Repurchase Request Recipient shall deliver notice (which may be by electronic format so long as a “backup” hard copy of such notice is also delivered on or prior to the next Business Day) of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal or rejection of a Repurchase Request (each, a “15Ga-1 Notice”) to the Depositor and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, in each case within ten (10) Business Days from such Repurchase Request Recipient’s receipt thereof.
Each 15Ga-1 Notice shall include (i) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the date the Repurchase Request is received by the Repurchase Request Recipient or the date any withdrawal of the Repurchase Request is received by the Repurchase Request Recipient, as applicable, (iii) if known, the basis for the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) and (iv) a statement from the Repurchase Request Recipient as to whether it currently plans to pursue such Repurchase Request.
A Repurchase Request Recipient shall not be required to provide any information in a 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. The Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements will provide that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided
-87-
pursuant to this Section 2.02(g) is so provided only to assist the Mortgage Loan Sellers and Depositor or their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii) (A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Repurchase Request Recipient and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.02(g) by a Repurchase Request Recipient, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Repurchase Request Recipient may have with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a 15Ga-1 Notice.
In the event that the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Request, such party shall promptly forward or otherwise provide written notice of such Repurchase Request to the Master Servicer, if relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, or to the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a “Repurchase Request” under Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the X.X. Xxxxxx Xxxxx Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates Series 2012-C8 requiring action by you as the “Repurchase Request Recipient” thereunder.” Upon receipt of such Repurchase Request by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, such party shall be deemed to be the Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such Repurchase Request, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.02(g) with respect to such Repurchase Request. In no event shall the Custodian, by virtue of this provision, be required to provide any notice other than as set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement in connection with its review of the Mortgage File.
If the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar or the Custodian receives notice or has knowledge of a withdrawal or a rejection of a Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given, and such notice was not received from or copied to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then such party shall give notice of such withdrawal or rejection to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Any such notice received by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar or the Custodian shall also be provided to the Depositor.
In the event that a Mortgage Loan is repurchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Agreement the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall promptly notify the Depositor of such repurchase or replacement.

-88-
Agreement and all the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, the power and authority to sell, assign and transfer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement;

(iii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder by the Depositor will not conflict with any provisions of any law or regulations to which the Depositor is subject, or conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of the Depositor or any indenture, agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound, or any order or decree applicable to the Depositor, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any of the Depositor’s assets or property, which would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Depositor to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; the Depositor has obtained any consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of this Agreement;
(iv) There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the Depositor’s knowledge, threatened against the Depositor in any court or by or before any other governmental agency or instrumentality which would materially and adversely affect the validity of the Mortgage Loans or the ability of the Depositor to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and
(v) The Depositor is the lawful owner of the Mortgage Loans with the full right to transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, and the Mortgage Loans have been validly transferred to the Trust.
(b) If any Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee discovers (without implying any duty of such person to make, or to attempt to make, such a discovery) or receives notice alleging a Defect in any Mortgage File or a breach of any representation or warranty with respect to a Mortgage Loan set forth in Section 6(c) of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (with respect to such Mortgage Loan, a “Breach”), which Defect or Breach, as the case may be, materially and adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or any Certificateholder therein, such Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall give prompt written notice of such Defect or Breach, as the case may be, to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
-89-
the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Senior Trust Advisor and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, and the Master Servicer (if the related Mortgage Loan is a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Special Servicer (if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), as applicable, shall request in writing that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, not later than ninety (90) days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt of such notice or (ii) in the case of a Defect or Breach relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage, the earlier of (x) the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery of such Defect or Breach or (y) discovery of such Breach of Defect by any other party, provided that the related Mortgage Loan Seller receives prompt written notice thereof (such ninety (90) day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Defect or Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects, at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional Trust Fund expenses reasonably incurred by any party to this Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan or REO Loan at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Certificate Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, that if such Breach or Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Breach or Defect within the Initial Cure Period, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly deliver a copy of such officer’s certificate to the 17g-5 Information Provider), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Breach or Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Breach or Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defect or Breach which causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders therein, and (subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure such Defect or Breach during the Initial Cure Period) such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or substituted for without regard to the Extended Cure Period described in the preceding sentence. If the
-90-
affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller are to be deposited by wire transfer to the Certificate Account. If any Breach pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust Fund (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Fund that are the basis of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor; provided, however, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses. Except as provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses and upon its making such remittance, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the related Mortgage Loan Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Monthly Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced after the related Cut-off Date and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust on or prior to the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Monthly Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust after the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, no delay in either the discovery of a Defect or Breach shall relieve the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller of its obligation to repurchase if it is otherwise required to do so under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Article II unless (i) the related Mortgage Loan Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Breach or Defect and (ii) such delay is a result of the failure by a party to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or this Agreement, to provide prompt notice as required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or this Agreement, after such party has actual knowledge of such Defect or Breach (knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report) and such delay precludes such Mortgage Loan Seller from curing such Defect or Breach.
(c) Subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated above in this Section 2.03, and further subject to Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(c), any of the following will cause a document in the Mortgage File to be deemed to have a “Defect” and to be conclusively presumed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in a Mortgage Loan (but solely with respect to clause (a)) and to be deemed to materially and
-91-
adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders in and the value of a Mortgage Loan: (a) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity that appears to be regular on its face; (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the item called for by clause (ix) of the definition of Mortgage File; (d) the absence from the Mortgage File of any intervening assignments required to create a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the assignment with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the intervening assignment and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for filing or recordation, as applicable; (e) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit; or (f) with respect to any related leasehold mortgage loan, the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or an original, if available) of the related Ground Lease; provided, however, that no Defect (except the Defects previously described in subclauses (a) through (f) of this Section 2.03(c)) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the document with respect to which the Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of executed escrow instructions or a binding commitment to issue a lender’s title insurance policy, as provided in clause (ix) of the definition of Mortgage File herein, in lieu of the delivery of the actual policy of lender’s title insurance, shall not be considered a Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage File if such actual policy is delivered to the Custodian not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise complied with its document delivery requirements under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, in the event that the Custodian has acknowledged receipt pursuant to Section 2.02 above hereof of a document that is part of the Mortgage File or a Mortgage Loan Seller can otherwise prove delivery of the document, and the Custodian subsequently loses a document, the fact that such document is lost may not be utilized as the basis for a claim of a Defect against a Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 6(e) of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Section 2.03 and the Custodian shall be liable for any such loss to the extent provided for in Section 8.01 hereof.
(d) In connection with any repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Mortgage Loan contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, upon delivery to each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of a trust receipt executed by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master
-92-
Servicer and the Special Servicer (other than attorney-client communications that are privileged communications), and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to the Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned, as the case may be to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller in the same manner as provided in Section 6 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and, if applicable, the definition of “Mortgage File” herein, so as to vest in such Mortgage Loan Seller the legal and beneficial ownership of such repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan (including property acquired in respect thereof and proceeds of any insurance policy with respect thereto) and the related Mortgage Loan documents.
(e) Section 6(e) of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements provides the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders (subject to the limitations on the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement), or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, with respect to any Defect in a Mortgage File or any Breach of any representation or warranty with respect to a Mortgage Loan set forth in or required to be made pursuant to Section 6 of any of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements.
(f) The Master Servicer (in the case of Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests), enforce the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, if any, shall be carried out in such form, to such extent and at such time as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would require were it, in its individual capacity, the owner of the affected Mortgage Loan(s). Any costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall, to the extent not recovered from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, be deemed to be Servicing Advances to the extent not otherwise provided for herein. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement: first, from a specific recovery, if any, of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller; second, pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vii) herein out of the related Purchase Price, to the extent that such expenses are a specific component thereof; and third, if at the conclusion of such enforcement action it is determined that the amounts described in clauses first and second are insufficient, then pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(viii) herein out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Certificate Account.
(g) If a Mortgage Loan Seller incurs any expense in connection with the curing of a Breach, which also constitutes a default under the related Mortgage Loan and is reimbursable thereunder, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall have a right, and shall be subrogated to the rights of the Trustee and the Trust Fund under the Mortgage Loan, to recover the amount of such expenses from the related Mortgagor; provided, however, that such Mortgage Loan Seller’s rights pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) shall be junior, subject and subordinate to the rights of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to recover amounts owed by the related Mortgagor under the terms of such Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the rights to recover unreimbursed Advances, accrued and unpaid interest on Advances at the Reimbursement Rate, fees owed to the Special
-93-
Servicer, and unpaid or unreimbursed expenses of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer allocable to such Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer or, with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer, shall use reasonable efforts to recover such expenses for such Mortgage Loan Seller to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, but taking into account the subordinate nature of the reimbursement to the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, however, that the Master Servicer or, with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer, determines in the exercise of its sole discretion consistent with the Servicing Standard that such actions by it will not impair the Master Servicer’s and/or the Special Servicer’s collection or recovery of principal, interest and other sums due with respect to the related Mortgage Loan that would otherwise be payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that the Master Servicer or, with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer, may waive the collection of amounts due on behalf of such Mortgage Loan Seller in its sole discretion in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
(h) If (i) any Crossed Underlying Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described in this Section 2.03 and (ii) the applicable Defect or Breach does not constitute a Defect or Breach, as the case may be, as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Defect or Breach, as the case may be, will be deemed to constitute a Defect or Breach, as the case may be, as to any other Crossed Underlying Loan in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group for purposes of this paragraph, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to repurchase or substitute for such other Crossed Underlying Loan(s) in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group as provided in Section 2.03(b) unless such other Crossed Underlying Loans satisfy the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria. In the event that the remaining Crossed Underlying Loans in such Crossed Mortgage Loan Group satisfy the aforementioned criteria, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed Underlying Loan(s) as to which the related Breach or Defect exists or to repurchase or substitute for all of the Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group. Any reserve or other cash collateral or letters of credit securing the Crossed Underlying Loans shall be allocated among the related Crossed Underlying Loans in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. Except as provided in this Section 2.03(h) and Section 2.03(i), all other terms of the related Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect without any modification thereof.
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the related Mortgage provides for the partial release of one or more of the Crossed Underlying Loans, the Depositor may cause the related Mortgage Loan Seller to repurchase only that Crossed Underlying Loan required to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.03, pursuant to the partial release provisions of the related Mortgage; provided, however, that (i) the remaining related Crossed Underlying Loan(s) fully comply with the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage, this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including the Crossed Underlying Loan Repurchase Criteria, (ii) in connection with such partial release, the related Mortgage Loan Seller obtains an Opinion of Counsel (at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC created
-94-
hereunder, endanger such status or result in the imposition of any tax and (iii) in connection with such partial release, the related Mortgage Loan Seller delivers or causes to be delivered to the Custodian original modifications to the Mortgage prepared and executed in connection with such partial release.
(j) With respect to any Crossed Underlying Loan, to the extent that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is required to repurchase or substitute for such Crossed Underlying Loan in the manner prescribed in Section 2.03(g) while the Trustee continues to hold any other Crossed Underlying Loans in the related Crossed Mortgage Loan Group, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, as assignee of the Depositor, will, as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each will be permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective related Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee, so long as such exercise does not materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies against its Primary Collateral. If the exercise of the remedies by one party would materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Crossed Underlying Loans held by such party, then both parties have agreed in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to forbear from exercising such remedies until the Mortgage Loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loan can be modified in a manner that complies with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies.
Section 2.04 Execution of Certificates; Issuance of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests. The Trustee hereby acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans and, subject to Section 2.01 and 2.02, the delivery to the Custodian of the Mortgage Files and a fully executed original counterpart of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements, together with the assignment to it of all of the other assets included in the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Grantor Trust. Concurrently with such assignment and delivery, and in exchange for the Mortgage Loans (other than Excess Interest), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Trustee (i) acknowledges the issuance of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests and the Class LR Interest by the Certificate Administrator to the Depositor; (ii) acknowledges the creation of the Grantor Trust (as described in Section 2.05 below); (iii) acknowledges the contribution by the Depositor of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests to the Upper-Tier REMIC; (iv) immediately thereafter, in exchange for the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests (together with, in the case of the Class NR Certificates, the Depositor’s interest in the Grantor Trust), the Trustee acknowledges that it has caused the Certificate Administrator to issue the Class UR Interest and has caused the Certificate Registrar to execute and caused the Authenticating Agent to authenticate and to deliver to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Regular Certificates and the Class R Certificates, and the Depositor hereby acknowledges the receipt by it or its designees, of such Certificates in authorized Denominations evidencing the entire beneficial ownership of the Upper-Tier REMIC (and (x) additionally, in the case of the Class NR Certificates, the beneficial ownership of the respective portion of the Grantor Trust, and (y) in the case of the Class R Certificates, the Class LR Interest and the Class UR Interest); and (v) the Trustee acknowledges that it has caused the Certificate Administrator to issue the Class EC Certificates and has caused the Certificate Registrar to execute and cause the Authenticating Agent to deliver to or upon the
-95-
order of the Depositor such Certificates, and the Depositor hereby acknowledges the receipt by it, or its designees, of such Certificates in authorized denominations, evidencing beneficial ownership of the respective portion of the Grantor Trust.
Section 2.05 Creation of the Grantor Trust.The Class NR Certificates are hereby designated as undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of Excess Interest and the Excess Interest Distribution Account and proceeds thereof and the Class EC Certificates are hereby designated as undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the uncertificated regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC represented by any Exchangeable Certificates that have been exchanged and converted for the Class EC Certificates and the Class EC Distribution Account, which portions shall be treated as a grantor trust within the meaning of subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code. For federal income tax purposes, the regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC represented by the classes of Exchangeable Certificates (or portions thereof) that have been exchanged for Class EC Certificates shall be deemed to continue to be outstanding and represented by the Class EC Certificates, and upon a reconversion of Class EC Certificates for Exchangeable Certificates, shall again be deemed to be represented by such Exchangeable Certificates.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND
SERVICING OF THE TRUST FUND
Section 3.01 Master Servicer To Act as Master Servicer; Special Servicer To Act as Special Servicer; Administration of the Mortgage Loans. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall diligently service and administer the Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of the Trust and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests), as a collective whole (as determined by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its reasonable judgment), in accordance with applicable law, the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the respective Mortgage Loans. To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the higher of the following standards of care: (1) in the same manner in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, services and administers similar mortgage loans for other third party portfolios and (2) the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, services and administers similar mortgage loans owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with a view to the maximization of timely recovery of principal and interest on a net present value basis on the Mortgage Loans or the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, and the best interests of the Trust and the Certificateholders, as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its reasonable judgment, in either case giving due consideration to the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent institutional, multifamily and commercial mortgage loan servicers, but without regard to any conflict of interest arising from: (i) any relationship that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the
-96-
Special Servicer may have with any Mortgagor or any Affiliate of such Mortgagor, any Mortgage Loan Seller or any other parties to this Agreement; (ii) the ownership of any Certificate, or mezzanine loan by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable; (iii) any obligation to make Advances; (iv) the adequacy of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, right to receive compensation for its services and reimbursement for its costs hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction; (v) the ownership, servicing or management for others of any other mortgage loans, subordinate interests, subordinate debt, mezzanine loans or mortgaged properties by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer; (vi) any option to purchase any Mortgage Loan it may have; and (vii) any other debt the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates has extended to any Mortgagor or any of its Affiliates (the foregoing, collectively referred to as the “Servicing Standard”).
Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 3.21, the Special Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer (i) any Mortgage Loans as to which a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing (each, a “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan”) and (ii) any REO Properties; provided that the Master Servicer shall continue to receive payments and make all calculations, and prepare, or cause to be prepared, all reports, required hereunder with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, except for the reports specified herein as prepared by the Special Servicer, as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to the REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred, and to render such services with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for herein; provided, further, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the Special Servicer to provide sufficient information to the Master Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the Special Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. The Master Servicer, in its capacity as Master Servicer, will not have any responsibility for the performance by the Special Servicer, in its capacity as Special Servicer, of its duties under this Agreement. The Special Servicer, in its capacity as Special Servicer, will not have any responsibility for the performance by the Master Servicer, in its capacity as Master Servicer, of its duties under this Agreement. Each Mortgage Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan shall continue as such until satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 3.21(a). Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 3.21, the Master Servicer shall be obligated to service and administer any Mortgage Loan which are not Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans. The Special Servicer shall make the inspections, use its reasonable efforts to collect the statements and forward to the Master Servicer the reports in respect of the related Mortgaged Properties with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 3.12. After notification to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer may contact the Mortgagor of any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan if efforts by the Master Servicer to collect required financial information have been unsuccessful or any other issues remain unresolved. Such contact shall be coordinated through and with the cooperation of the Master Servicer. No provision herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectability or recoverability of payments on the Mortgage Loans or shall be construed to impair or adversely affect any rights or benefits provided by this Agreement to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (including with respect to Servicing Fees, Special Servicing Fees or the right to be reimbursed for Advances and interest accrued thereon). Any provision in this Agreement for any Advance by the Master
-97-
Servicer or the Trustee is intended solely to provide liquidity for the benefit of the Certificateholders and not as credit support or otherwise to impose on any such Person the risk of loss with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Loans. No provision hereof shall be construed to impose liability on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer for the reason that any recovery to the Certificateholders in respect of a Mortgage Loan at any time after a determination of present value recovery is less than the amount reflected in such determination.
(b) Subject only to the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 6.07 hereof) and of the respective Mortgage Loans and any related Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable, and applicable law, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall have full power and authority, acting alone or, in the case of the Master Servicer, subject to Section 3.22, through one or more Sub-Servicers, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration for which it is responsible which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, in its own name (or in the name of the Trustee), is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, it is obligated to service under this Agreement: (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by the related Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and related collateral; (ii) subject to Sections 3.08, 3.20 and 6.07, any and all modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to, under or with respect to any documents contained in the related Mortgage File; (iii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, pledge agreements and other documents in connection with a defeasance, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments; and (iv) any or all complaints or other pleadings to initiate and/or to terminate any action, suit or proceeding on behalf of the Trust (in their representative capacities). Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall, upon request, furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer any powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit R attached hereto and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held responsible or liable for any acts of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, or for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, representative capacity or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be required to be registered to do business in any state.
(c) To the extent the Master Servicer is permitted pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement) to exercise its discretion with respect to any action which requires Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency, the Master Servicer shall require the costs of such Rating Agency Confirmation to be borne by the related Mortgagor. To the extent the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement) require the Mortgagor to bear the costs of any Rating Agency Confirmation, the Master Servicer shall not waive the requirement
-98-
that such costs and expenses be borne by the related Mortgagor. To the extent that the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents (including any related Intercreditor Agreement) are silent as to who bears the costs of any Rating Agency Confirmation, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses. The Master Servicer shall not be responsible for the payment of such costs and expenses out of pocket other than as a Servicing Advance.
(d) The relationship of each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
(e) The Master Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents, and consistent with the Servicing Standard, permit Escrow Payments to be invested only in Permitted Investments.
(f) Within sixty (60) days (or such shorter time period as is required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents) after the later of (i) the receipt thereof by the Master Servicer and (ii) the Closing Date, (x) the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall notify each provider of a letter of credit for each Mortgage Loan identified as having a letter of credit on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Master Servicer (in care of the Trustee, as titled in Section 2.01(b)) for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall be the beneficiary under each such letter of credit and (y) the Master Servicer shall notify each lessor under a Ground Lease for each Mortgage Loan identified as subject to a leasehold interest on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, that the Trust is the leasehold mortgagee and that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall service the related Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If a letter of credit is required to be drawn upon earlier than the date the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has notified the provider of such letter of credit pursuant to clause (x) of the immediately preceding sentence, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in connection with making a draw under such letter of credit. If the Mortgage Loan documents do not require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to or assignment of the related letter of credit, then the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. If the Mortgage Loan documents require the related Mortgagor to pay any costs and expenses relating to any modifications to the related letter of credit, and such Mortgagor fails to pay such costs and expenses after the Master Servicer has exercised reasonable efforts to collect such costs and expenses from such Mortgagor, then the Master Servicer shall give the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller notice of such failure and the amount of costs and expenses, and such Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay such costs and expenses as and to the extent required under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The costs and expenses of any modifications to Ground Leases shall be paid by the related Mortgagor. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for the failure of any Mortgage Loan Seller to perform its obligations under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
(g) The Special Servicer agrees that upon the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event with respect to any Mortgage Loan, that is subject to or becomes subject to an
-99-
Intercreditor Agreement in the future, it shall, subject to Section 3.21, use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce, on behalf of the Trust, subject to the Servicing Standard and to the extent the Special Servicer determines such action is in the best interests of the Trust Fund, all rights conveyed to the Trustee pursuant to any such Intercreditor Agreement. The costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with such enforcement shall be paid from the Certificate Account as a Trust Fund expense.
Section 3.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, and shall follow such collection procedures as are consistent with this Agreement; (including, without limitation, the Servicing Standard; provided that with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has an Anticipated Repayment Date, so long as the related Mortgagor is in compliance with each provision of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any enforcement action with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to make any payment of Excess Interest, other than requests for collection, until the Maturity Date of the related Mortgage Loan or until the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan (exclusive of any portion representing accrued Excess Interest) has been paid in full); provided, further, that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust Fund’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan that it is obligated to service hereunder three (3) times during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months with respect to any Mortgage Loan; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent payment on a Mortgage Loan one additional time in such 24-month period so long as with respect to any of the foregoing waivers, no Advance or additional Trust Fund expense has been incurred and remains unreimbursed to the Trust with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Any additional waivers during such 24-month period with respect to such Mortgage Loan may be made, subject to the Servicing Standard, only after the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, given notice of a proposed waiver to the Directing Certificateholder and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, the Directing Certificateholder has consented to such additional waiver (provided that if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to receive a response to such notice from the Directing Certificateholder in writing within five (5) days of giving such notice, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver); provided, further, that after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Event, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive any Penalty Charge in accordance with the Servicing Standard without the consent of the Directing Certificateholder.
(b) (i) All amounts collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of a Mortgage Loan shall be applied to amounts due and owing under the Mortgage Loan documents (including for principal and accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with the express provisions of the Mortgage Loan documents; provided, however, that absent express provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents, other than with respect to the application of Liquidation Proceeds, all amounts collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of a Mortgage
-100-
Loan in the form of payments from the related Mortgagor or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds under the Mortgage Loan or any proceeds (other than Liquidation Proceeds) with respect to any REO Loan will be applied in the following order of priority:
first, as a reimbursement first, to the Trustee and second, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for any outstanding Advances related to such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (including Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts that have not been reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and interest thereon as provided in this Agreement and unpaid servicing compensation and related additional Trust Fund expenses;
second, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan, that has not been the subject of a P&I Advance, at the related Mortgage Rate in effect from time to time to but not including the Due Date in the Due Period of receipt;
third, as a recovery of Unliquidated Advances, and, without duplication, principal of such Mortgage Loan then due and owing, in each case, that were paid from collections on the Mortgage Loans and resulted in principal distributed to the Certificateholders being reduced as a result of the first proviso in the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount”;
fourth, as a recovery of Nonrecoverable Advances;
fifth, as a recovery of principal of such Mortgage Loan to the extent of its entire unpaid principal balance; and
sixth, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, as a recovery of any other amounts due and owing on such Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, late payment charges and default interest and Yield Maintenance Charges;
provided that payments or proceeds received with respect to any partial release of a Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof (including pursuant to a condemnation) at a time when the loan-to-value ratio of the related Mortgage Loan, exceeds 125% must be applied to reduce the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, in the manner permitted by the REMIC Provisions.
(ii) Liquidation Proceeds in respect of each Mortgage Loan or REO Loan shall be applied in the following order of priority:
first, as a reimbursement first, to the Trustee and second, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for any outstanding Advances related to such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (including Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts that have not been reimbursed to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer) and interest thereon as provided in this Agreement and unpaid servicing compensation, liquidation expenses and related additional Trust Fund expenses);
second, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan that has not been the subject of a P&I Advance, at the related Mortgage Rate in effect from time to time to but not including the Due Date in the Due Period of receipt less any Appraisal Reduced Interest;
-101-
third, as a recovery of Unliquidated Advances and, without duplication, principal of such Mortgage Loan then due and owing, in each case, that were paid from collections on the Mortgage Loans and resulted in principal distributed to the Certificateholders being reduced as a result of the first proviso in the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount”;
fourth, as a recovery of Nonrecoverable Advances;
fifth, as a recovery of principal of such Mortgage Loan to the extent of its entire unpaid principal balance;
sixth, as a recovery of Appraisal Reduced Interest; and
seventh, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, as a recovery of any other amounts due and owing on such Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, late payment charges and default interest and Yield Maintenance Charges.
(iii) Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) above, such provisions shall not be deemed to affect the priority of distributions of payments. To the extent that such amounts are paid by a party other than a Mortgagor, such amounts shall be deemed to have been paid in respect of a purchase of all or part of the Mortgaged Property (in the case of Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds) and then paid by the Mortgagor under the Mortgage Loan or in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(ii) above.
(c) [Reserved.]
(d) In the event that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer receives Excess Interest prior to the Determination Date for any Due Period, or receives notice from the related Mortgagor that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer will be receiving Excess Interest prior to the Determination Date for any Due Period, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall notify the Trustee and Certificate Administrator two (2) Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any failure of the related Mortgagor to pay any such Excess Interest or prepayment penalty. The preceding statements shall not, however, be construed to limit the provisions of Section 3.02(a).
(e) With respect to any Mortgage Loan in connection with which the Mortgagor was required to escrow funds or to post a letter of credit related to obtaining certain performance objectives described in the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, hold such escrows, letters of credit and proceeds thereof as additional collateral and not apply such items to reduce the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, unless otherwise required to do so pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, applicable law or court order.
Section 3.03 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts. (a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Servicing Accounts in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents. Amounts on deposit in Servicing Accounts may only be invested in accordance with the terms of
-102-
the related Mortgage Loan documents or in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts to the extent permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents. Withdrawals of amounts so deposited from a Servicing Account may be made only to: (i) effect payment of items for which Escrow Payments were collected and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Trustee and then the Master Servicer, if applicable, for any Servicing Advances; (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account, if required by applicable law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and as described below or, if not so required, to the Master Servicer; (v) after the occurrence of an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan, apply amounts to the indebtedness under the applicable Mortgage Loan; (vi) withdraw amounts deposited in error; (vii) pay Penalty Charges to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents; or (viii) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to remit to any Mortgagor any amounts in excess of actual net investment income or funds in the related Servicing Account. If allowed by the related Mortgage Loan documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer may charge the related Mortgagor an administrative fee for maintenance of the Servicing Accounts.
(b) The Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans, and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans, shall maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents payable in respect thereof. The Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans, and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans, shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof from the REO Account or by the Master Servicer as Servicing Advances prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items, employing for such purpose Escrow Payments (which shall be so applied by the Master Servicer at the written direction of the Special Servicer in the case of REO Loans) as allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall service and administer any reserve accounts (including monitoring, maintaining or changing the amounts of required escrows) in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Loan and the Servicing Standard. To the extent that a Mortgage Loan do not require a Mortgagor to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items, the Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans, and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans, shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to comply with its obligation to make payments in respect of such items at the time they first become due and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items.
(c) In accordance with the Servicing Standard and for each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall advance all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the
-103-
payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon, (ii) ground rents (if applicable) and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies, in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments collected from the related Mortgagor (or related REO Revenues, if applicable) are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Mortgagor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis, and provided, however, that the particular advance would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and provided, further, however, that with respect to the payment of taxes and assessments, the Master Servicer shall not be required to make such advance until the later of five (5) Business Days after the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, has received confirmation that such item has not been paid or the date prior to the date after which any penalty or interest would accrue in respect of such taxes or assessments. The Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer and the Trustee no less than five (5) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice before the date on which the Master Servicer is requested to make any Servicing Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property; provided, however, that only two (2) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice shall be required in respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on an emergency or urgent basis; provided, further, that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request (other than for Servicing Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis) more frequently than once per calendar month (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). The Master Servicer may pay the aggregate amount of such Servicing Advances listed on a monthly request to the Special Servicer, in which case the Special Servicer shall remit such Servicing Advances to the ultimate payees. The Special Servicer, at its option, may make Servicing Advances for Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. In the event the Special Servicer makes a determination to make such a Servicing Advance, not more than five (5) Business Days following the request of the Special Servicer (which request shall not be made more than once per calendar month and shall be part of the same request that is otherwise made for such month pursuant to the above provisions of this paragraph), the Master Servicer shall, subject to its right to make a nonrecoverability determination as provided in the succeeding paragraph, reimburse the Special Servicer for such Servicing Advances along with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate and the Master Servicer shall thereafter be entitled to reimbursement of such Servicing Advances in the same manner and as if the Master Servicer had made such Servicing Advances originally. In addition, in connection with any request by the Special Servicer for the disbursement or reimbursement of any Servicing Advance pursuant to the above provisions, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer and the Trustee with such information in its possession as the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, may reasonably request to enable the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to determine whether a requested Servicing Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination, provided that the determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer or Trustee. On the first Business Day after the Determination Date for the related Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer determines any Servicing Advance previously made by the Master Servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely
-104-
on such a determination, but such determination shall not be binding upon the Master Servicer, and shall in no way limit the ability of the Master Servicer in the absence of such determination to make its own determination that any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion of, and not all of, any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. All such Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors and further as provided in Section 3.05(a). No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of the Mortgaged Properties shall, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, the Certificate Administrator’s calculation of monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit. If the Master Servicer fails to make any required Servicing Advance as and when due (including any applicable cure periods), to the extent the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure, the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 7.05. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required hereunder if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. In addition, the Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Servicing Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer for, or to make at the direction of the Special Servicer, any Servicing Advance if the Master Servicer determines that such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer may in its good faith judgment elect (but shall not be required unless directed by the Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Loans) to make a payment from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account (which shall be deemed first made from amounts distributable as principal and then from all other amounts comprising general collections) to pay for certain expenses set forth below notwithstanding that the Master Servicer (or Special Servicer, as applicable) has determined that a Servicing Advance with respect to such expenditure would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (unless, with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Loans, the Special Servicer has notified the Master Servicer to not make such expenditure), where making such expenditure would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage, or the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan; provided that in each instance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee) that making such expenditure is in the best interest of the Certificateholders, all as a collective whole. The Master Servicer or
-105-
Trustee may elect to obtain reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances from the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of Section 3.19(b).
(d) In connection with its recovery of any Servicing Advance out of the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Trustee, the Special Servicer and then the Master Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Certificate Account interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such Servicing Advance from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Subject to Section 3.19(b), the Master Servicer shall reimburse itself, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding Servicing Advance as soon as practically possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Certificate Account subject to the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s options and rights to defer recovery of such amounts as provided herein.
(e) To the extent an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation thereof within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which such plan is required to be established or completed. To the extent any repairs, capital improvements, actions or remediations are required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation of such actions and remediations within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which such action or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed. To the extent a Mortgagor shall fail to promptly respond to any inquiry described in this Section 3.03(e), the Master Servicer shall report any such failure to the Special Servicer within a reasonable time after the date as of which such actions or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements, the Master Servicer need not deposit into the Certificate Account any amount that the Master Servicer would be authorized to withdraw immediately from such account in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05 and shall be entitled to instead immediately pay such amount directly to the Person(s) entitled thereto; provided that such amounts shall be applied in accordance with the terms hereof and shall be reported as if deposited in such Certificate Account and then withdrawn.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Certificate Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, actual payments from Mortgagors in the nature of Escrow Payments, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, assumption fees, modification fees, extension fees, defeasance fees, amounts collected for Mortgagor checks returned for insufficient funds or other amounts the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Certificate Account. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Assumption, extension and modification fees actually received from Mortgagors on Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans shall be promptly delivered to the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, (i) if amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account and the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account are not sufficient to pay the full amount of the Servicing Fee listed in Section 3.05(a)(ii), the Senior Trust Advisor Fee listed in Section 3.05(a)(ii) and the Certificate Administrator Fee listed in Section 3.05(b)(ii) and (b)(iii), then the Certificate Administrator Fee shall be paid in full prior to the payment of any Servicing Fees payable under Section 3.05(a)(ii) and then, after payment of Servicing Fees, the Senior Trust Advisor Fees payable under Section 3.05(a)(ii) and in the event that amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account and the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account are not sufficient to pay the full amount of such Certificate Administrator Fee, the Certificate Administrator shall be paid based on the amount of such fees and (ii) if amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account are not sufficient to reimburse the full amount of Advances and interest thereon listed in Sections 3.05(a)(iii), (a)(iv), (a)(v) and (a)(vi), then reimbursements shall be paid first to the Certificate Administrator and to the Trustee, pro rata, second to the Special Servicer, third to the Master Servicer and then to the Senior Trust Advisor.
Section 3.06 Investment of Funds in the Certificate Account and the REO Account. (a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Certificate Account, or any Servicing Account (for purposes of this Section 3.06, an “Investment Account”), the Special Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the REO Account (also for purposes of this Section 3.06, an “Investment Account”) to invest or if it is such depository institution, may itself invest, the funds held therein, only in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next succeeding date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the depository institution maintaining such account is the obligor thereon and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the depository institution maintaining such account is the obligor
-117-
thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such). The Master Servicer (in the case of the Certificate Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Master Servicer), the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer) on behalf of the Trustee, shall maintain continuous physical possession of any Permitted Investment of amounts in the Certificate Account, the Servicing Accounts or REO Account, as applicable, that is either (i) a “certificated security,” as such term is defined in the UCC (such that the Trustee shall have control pursuant to Section 8-106 of the UCC) or (ii) other property in which a secured party may perfect its security interest by physical possession under the UCC or any other applicable law. In the case of any Permitted Investment held in the form of a “security entitlement” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall take or cause to be taken such action as the Trustee deems reasonably necessary to cause the Trustee to have control over such security entitlement. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Master Servicer (in the case of the Certificate Account, or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Master Servicer) or the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer) shall:
(i) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) all amounts then payable thereunder and (b) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(ii) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.
(b) Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in the Certificate Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Master Servicer to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Master Servicer to the extent (with respect to Servicing Accounts) not required to be paid to the related Mortgagor and shall be subject to its withdrawal, or withdrawal at its direction, in accordance with Section 3.03 or Section 3.05(a), as the case may be. Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in the REO Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for each period from and including any Distribution Date to and including the immediately succeeding P&I Advance Date, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Special Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.16(c). In the event that any loss shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment (as to which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, would have been entitled to any Net Investment Earnings hereunder) directed to be made by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and on deposit in any of the Certificate Account, the Servicing Account or the REO Account, the Master
-118-
Servicer (in the case of the Certificate Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Master Servicer), the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer) shall deposit therein, no later than the P&I Advance Date, without right of reimbursement, the amount of Net Investment Loss, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company that holds such Investment Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account at the time such investment was made (and, with respect to the Master Servicer, such federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company is not an Affiliate of the Master Servicer unless such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualification set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (x) at the time the investment was made and (y) thirty (30) days prior to such insolvency).
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Master Servicer may and, upon the request of Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
Section 3.07 Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) The Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties) shall use its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain, to the extent required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage Loan except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default. If the Mortgagor does not so maintain such insurance coverage, subject to its recoverability determination with respect to any required Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties) shall maintain all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage, but only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates, as determined (prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Event, any determination that such insurance coverage is not available or not available at commercially reasonable rates to be made with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) by the Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties) except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default as determined by the Special Servicer; provided, however, that if any Mortgage permits the holder thereof to dictate to the Mortgagor the insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall impose such insurance requirements as are consistent with the Servicing Standard taking into account the insurance in place at the closing of the Mortgage Loan, provided that, with respect to the immediately preceding proviso, the Master Servicer will be
-119-
obligated to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain (or to itself maintain) insurance against property damage resulting from terrorist or similar acts unless the Mortgagor’s failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default (as determined by the Special Servicer with, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) and only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates. The Master Servicer will be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the Master Servicer’s expense) in determining whether any insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. Subject to Section 3.17(a) and the costs of such insurance being reimbursed or paid to the Special Servicer as provided in the third-to-last sentence of this paragraph, the Special Servicer shall maintain for each REO Property no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan unless the Special Servicer (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, with Directing Certificateholder consent) determines that such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates or that the Trustee does not have an insurable interest, in which case the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination. All Insurance Policies maintained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall (i) contain a “standard” mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of Mortgage Loans other than REO Properties) or to the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (ii) be in the name of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (iii) include coverage in an amount not less than the lesser of (x) the full replacement cost of the improvements securing Mortgaged Property or the REO Property, as applicable, and (y) the outstanding principal balance owing on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as applicable, and in any event, the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions, (iv) include a replacement cost endorsement providing no deduction for depreciation (unless such endorsement is not permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents), (v) be noncancelable without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the insured party (except in the case of nonpayment, in which case such policy shall not be cancelled without ten (10) days prior notice) and (vi) subject to the first proviso in the second sentence of this Section 3.07(a), be issued by a Qualified Insurer authorized under applicable law to issue such Insurance Policies. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer under any such Insurance Policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the related Mortgagor, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the provisions of the related Mortgage Loan documents) shall be deposited in the Certificate Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05(a). Any costs incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies in respect of Mortgage Loans (other than REO Properties) (i) if the Mortgagor defaults on its obligation to do so, shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the Certificate Account) and will be charged to the related Mortgagor and (ii) shall not, for purposes of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. Any cost incurred by the Special Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies with respect to REO Properties shall
-120-
be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, advanced by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the Certificate Account). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Master Servicer will not be required to maintain, and will not be in default for failing to obtain, any earthquake or environmental insurance on any Mortgaged Property unless such insurance was required at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and is currently available at commercially reasonable rates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans that either (x) require the Mortgagor to maintain “all risk” property insurance (and do not expressly permit an exclusion for terrorism) or (y) contain provisions generally requiring the applicable Mortgagor to maintain insurance in types and against such risks as the holder of such Mortgage Loan reasonably requires from time to time in order to protect its interests, the Master Servicer will be required to, consistent with the Servicing Standard, (A) monitor in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether the insurance policies for the related Mortgaged Property contain Additional Exclusions, (B) request the Mortgagor to either purchase insurance against the risks specified in the Additional Exclusions or provide an explanation as to its reasons for failing to purchase such insurance and (C) notify the Special Servicer if it has knowledge that any insurance policy contains Additional Exclusions or if it has knowledge (such knowledge to be based upon the Master Servicer’s compliance with the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) above) that any Mortgagor fails to purchase the insurance requested to be purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (B) above. If the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure is not an Acceptable Insurance Default, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause such insurance to be maintained. The Special Servicer (at the expense of the Trust) shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants in making such determinations. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the expense of such Master Servicer) in determining whether Additional Exclusions exist. Furthermore, the Special Servicer shall inform the Rating Agencies as to such conclusions for those Mortgage Loans that (i) have one of the ten (10) highest outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust or (ii) comprise more than 5% of the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust. During the period that the Special Servicer is evaluating the availability of such insurance or waiting for a response from the Directing Certificateholder, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance and will not be in default of its obligations as a result of such failure and the Master Servicer will not itself maintain such insurance or cause such insurance to be maintained.
(b) (i) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket Insurance Policy with a Qualified Insurer insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans or REO Properties, as the case may be, required to be serviced and administered hereunder, then, to the extent such Insurance Policy provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause fire and hazard insurance to be
-121-
maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties or REO Properties. Such Insurance Policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a fire and hazard Insurance Policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such Insurance Policy, promptly deposit into the Certificate Account from its own funds the amount of such loss or losses that would have been covered under the individual policy but are not covered under the blanket Insurance Policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan, or in the absence of such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as administrator and Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. The Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, may maintain, earthquake insurance on REO Properties, provided coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates, the cost of which shall be a Servicing Advance.
(ii) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by a master single interest or force-placed insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer naming the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee as the loss payee, then to the extent such Insurance Policy provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause such insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties and REO Properties. In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by such master single interest or force-placed insurance policy, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged Property or REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property or REO Property is covered thereby) shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance. Such master single interest or force-placed policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy had it been maintained, deposit into the Certificate Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the master single or force-placed interest policy because of such deductible clause, to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard.
(c) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions Insurance Policy with a Qualified Insurer covering the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, officers and employees acting on behalf of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in connection with its activities under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long term debt or
-122-
the deposit obligations or claims-paying ability of the Master Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent) or the Special Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent), as applicable, is rated at least “A-“ by Fitch, A (low) by DBRS and “A” by S&P, the Master Servicer (or its public parent) or the Special Servicer (or its public parent), as applicable, shall be allowed to provide self-insurance with respect to a fidelity bond and an “errors and omissions” Insurance Policy. Such amount of coverage shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Coverage of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.07(c) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.07(c). The Special Servicer and the Master Servicer will promptly report in writing to the Trustee any material changes that may occur in their respective fidelity bonds, if any, and/or their respective errors and omissions Insurance Policies, as the case may be, and will furnish to the Trustee copies of all binders and policies or certificates evidencing that such bonds, if any, and insurance policies are in full force and effect.
(d) At the time the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any Mortgaged Property is in a federally designated special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been made available), the Master Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor (in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents) to maintain, and, if the related Mortgagor shall default in its obligation to so maintain, shall itself maintain to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest therein), flood insurance in respect thereof, but only to the extent the related Mortgage Loan permits the mortgagee to require such coverage and the maintenance of such coverage is consistent with the Servicing Standard. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard. If the cost of any insurance described above is not borne by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall promptly make a Servicing Advance for such costs.
(e) During all such times as any REO Property shall be located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Special Servicer will cause to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount representing coverage not less than the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The cost of any such flood insurance with respect to an REO Property shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
-123-
Section 3.08 Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. (a) As to each Mortgage Loan that contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-sale” clause, which by its terms:
(i) provides that such Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an interest in the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor; or
(ii) provides that such Mortgage Loan may not be assumed without the consent of the mortgagee in connection with any such sale or other transfer,
then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer or, with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive any right to exercise such rights, provided that, (i) with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer has obtained the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Special Servicer, which consent shall be deemed given five (5) Business Days after the ten (10) Business Day review period of the Directing Certificateholder, after receipt (unless earlier objected to) by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such waiver or exercise of such right together with such other information reasonably required by the Special Servicer, (ii) with respect to all Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Special Servicer shall, prior to consenting to such a proposed action of the Master Servicer, obtain, and, prior to itself taking such an action, the Special Servicer shall obtain prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder, which consent shall be deemed given 10 Business Days after receipt (unless earlier objected to by the Directing Certificateholder of the Master Servicer’s and/or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, written analysis and recommendation with respect to such waiver together with such other information reasonably required by the Directing Certificateholder and (iii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (x) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to $20,000,000, (y) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to 5% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding or (z) together with all other Mortgage Loans with which it is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted or together with all other Mortgage Loans with the same Mortgagor (or an Affiliate thereof), that is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans outstanding (by Stated Principal Balance), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, prior to consenting to any action, shall obtain, a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency, provided, however, that with respect to subclauses (y) and (z) of this subclause (iii), such Mortgage Loan shall also have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $5,000,000 for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply.
If any Mortgage Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan may be assumed or transferred without the consent of the mortgagee; provided that certain conditions are satisfied, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer, with respect to all Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, on behalf of the Trustee as the

mortgagee of record, shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether such conditions have been satisfied, or, with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan which does not allow the mortgagee discretion in approving a transfer or assumption or does not allow for discretion in determining whether conditions to a transfer or assumption have been satisfied, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as mortgagee of record, shall make such determination with respect to whether such conditions have been satisfied.
(b) As to each Mortgage Loan that contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause that by its terms:
(i) provides that such Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor; or
(ii) requires the consent of the mortgagee to the creation of any such additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor;
then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan is serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer or, with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive its right to exercise such rights, provided that (i) with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer has made a recommendation and obtained the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Special Servicer, which consent shall be deemed given five (5) Business Days after the ten (10) Business Day review period of the Directing Certificateholder, after receipt (unless earlier objected to) by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such waiver or exercise of such right together with such other information reasonably required by the Special Servicer, (ii) the Special Servicer has obtained prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder, which consent shall be deemed given ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Directing Certificateholder of the Special Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such waiver or exercise of such rights together with such other information reasonably required by the Directing Certificateholder, and (iii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has obtained Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency if such Mortgage Loan (A) has an outstanding principal balance that is greater than or equal to 2% of the Stated Principal Balance of the outstanding Mortgage Loans or (B) has an LTV Ratio greater than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt) or (C) has a Debt Service Coverage Ratio less than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan and the principal amount of the proposed additional lien) or (D) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans (by Stated Principal Balance) or (E) has a Stated Principal Balance greater than $20,000,000; provided, however, that with respect to subclauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) of this subclause (iii), such Mortgage Loan shall also
-125-
have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $5,000,000 for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply.
To the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Rating Agency Confirmation described in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents; provided that if the Mortgage Loan documents are silent as to who bears the costs of obtaining any such Rating Agency Confirmation, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to make the related Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses.
If any Mortgage Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan may be further encumbered without the consent of the mortgagee provided that certain conditions are satisfied and there is no lender discretion with respect to the satisfaction of such conditions, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer, with respect to all Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall determine whether such conditions have been satisfied, or, with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans which do not allow the mortgagee discretion in determining whether conditions are satisfied, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as mortgagee of record, shall make such determination with respect to whether such conditions have been satisfied.
(c) Nothing in this Section 3.08 shall constitute a waiver of the Trustee’s right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan, any sale or other transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged Property.
(d) Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.08(a), (b) and (e) and/or Section 3.20, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend any term of any Mortgage Loan, as applicable, in connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.08. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each provide copies of any final waivers (except with respect to provision of any such waivers to the 17g-5 Information Provider, exclusive of any Privileged Information) it effects pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or (b) to each other and to the 17g-5 Information Provider with respect to each Mortgage Loan.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 3.08 or Section 3.20, but subject to any related Intercreditor Agreement, the Master Servicer may with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, without any Directing Certificateholder approval, Rating Agency Confirmation or Special Servicer approval (provided the Master Servicer delivers notice thereof to the Special Servicer after completion (and the Special Servicer shall promptly, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, deliver such notice to the Directing Certificateholder), except to the extent that the Special Servicer or the Directing Certificateholder, as the case may be, notifies the Master Servicer that such party does not desire to receive copies of such items), (i) grant waivers of non-material covenant defaults (other than financial covenants), including late financial statements; (ii) consent to releases of non-material, non-income producing parcels of a Mortgaged Property that do not materially affect the use or value of the Mortgaged Property or the ability of the related Mortgagor to pay amounts due in
-126-
respect of the Mortgage Loan as and when due provided such releases are required by the related Mortgage Loan documents; (iii) approve or consent to grants of easements or rights of way for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another purpose or subordinations of the lien of Mortgage Loans to easements that do not materially affect the use or value of a Mortgaged Property or a Mortgagor’s ability to make any payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loan; (iv) grant other routine approvals, including the granting of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements and leasing consents that affect less than the lesser of (a) 25% of the net rentable area of the Mortgaged Property or (b) 30,000 square feet; (v) consent to actions related to condemnation of non-material, non-income producing parcels of the Mortgaged Property that do not materially affect the use or value of the Mortgaged Property or the ability of the related Mortgagor to pay amounts due in respect of the Mortgage Loan and when due; (vi) consent to a change in property management relating to any Mortgage Loan with respect to Mortgage Loans with an outstanding principal balance of less than $5,000,000; and (vii) approve of annual operating budgets; provided that any such modification, waiver or amendment (w) would not in any way affect a payment term of the Certificates, (x) would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise cause either the Upper-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, (y) agreeing to such modification, waiver or amendment would be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (z) agreeing to such modification, waiver or amendment would not violate the terms, provisions or limitations of this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement. The foregoing is intended to be an itemization of actions the Master Servicer may take without having to obtain the approval of any other party and is not intended to limit the responsibilities of the Master Servicer hereunder.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer may not waive its rights or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause without the consent of the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer may not waive its rights or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or relating to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan without, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder. The Directing Certificateholder shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice along with the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s recommendation and analysis with respect to such proposed waiver or proposed granting of consent and any additional information the Directing Certificateholder may reasonably request from the Special Servicer of a proposed waiver or consent under any “due on sale” or “due on encumbrance” clause in which to grant or withhold its consent (provided that if the Special Servicer fails to receive a response to such notice from the Directing Certificateholder in writing within such period, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver or consent).
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08, if the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) or Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) makes a determination under Sections 3.08(a) or 3.08(b) hereof that the applicable conditions in the related Mortgage Loan, with respect to assumptions or encumbrances permitted without the consent of the mortgagee have been satisfied, the applicable assumptions and transfers may be subject to an assumption or other fee, unless such fees are otherwise prohibited pursuant to such documents; provided that
-127-
any such fee not provided for in the Mortgage Loan documents does not constitute a “significant” change in yield pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(e)(2).
Section 3.09 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. (a) Upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents related to a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide written notice to the mezzanine lender, with a copy of such notice to the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall, subject to subsections (b) through (d) of this Section 3.09, Section 3.29, subject to the Directing Certificateholders’ rights pursuant to Section 6.07, and any mezzanine lender’s rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of property securing such Mortgage Loan as come into and continue in default as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and which are not released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any other provision hereof. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not be required to make a Servicing Advance and expend funds toward the restoration of such property unless the Special Servicer has determined in its reasonable discretion that such restoration will increase the net proceeds of liquidation of such Mortgaged Property to Certificateholders after reimbursement to the Master Servicer for such Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer has not determined that such Servicing Advance together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in any such proceedings shall be advanced by the Master Servicer; provided that, in each case, such cost or expense would not, if incurred, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make a bid on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment taking into account the factors described in Section 3.18(b) and the results of any Appraisal obtained pursuant to the following sentence, all such bids to be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer deems it necessary and prudent for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, whether for purposes of bidding at foreclosure or otherwise, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, is authorized to have an Appraisal performed with respect to such property by an Independent MAI-designated appraiser the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
(b) The Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.09 unless either:
(i) such personal property is incidental to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer; or
(ii) the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a
-128-
tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest or Certificate is outstanding.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09 and Section 3.29, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trustee, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee) the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an Environmental Assessment of such Mortgaged Property performed by an Independent Person who regularly conducts Environmental Assessments and performed within six (6) months prior to any such acquisition of title or other action, that:
(i) the Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations or, if not, that taking such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis than not taking such actions, for such purposes taking into account any insurance coverage provided pursuant to any environmental insurance policies in effect and obtained on behalf of the mortgagee with respect to the related Mortgaged Property; and
(ii) there are no circumstances or conditions present at the Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of Hazardous Materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any applicable environmental laws and regulations or, if such circumstances or conditions are present for which any such action could be required, that taking such actions with respect to such Mortgaged Property is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis than not taking such actions.
The cost of any such Environmental Assessment shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance and the cost of any remedial, corrective or other further action contemplated by clause (i) and/or clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance, unless it is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (in which case it shall be an expense of the Trust Fund), and if any such Environmental Assessment so warrants, the Special Servicer shall, except with respect to any Environmental Assessment ordered after such Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, perform such additional environmental testing at the expense of the Trust Fund as it deems necessary and prudent to determine whether the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence have been satisfied. With respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer and, with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Special Servicer shall review and be familiar with the terms and conditions relating to enforcing claims and shall monitor the dates by which any claim or action must be taken (including delivering any notices to the insurer and using reasonable efforts to perform any actions required under such policy) under each environmental insurance policy in effect and obtained on behalf of the mortgagee to receive the maximum proceeds
-129-
available under such policy for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests).
(d) If (i) the environmental testing contemplated by subsection (c) above establishes that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of subsection (c) above of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Mortgage Loan and (ii) there has been no breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in or required to be made pursuant to Section 6 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements for which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller could be required to repurchase such Defaulted Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 6 of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund (other than proceeding to acquire title to the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) at such time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, provided that, if such Mortgage Loan has a then outstanding principal balance of greater than $1,000,000, then prior to the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, (i) the Special Servicer shall have notified the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder in writing of its intention to so release such Mortgaged Property and the bases for such intention, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall have posted such notice of the Special Servicer’s intention to so release such Mortgaged Property to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.15(b) and (iii) in addition to the prior written consent of the Directing Certificateholder as required above, the Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights shall have consented or have been deemed to have consented to such release within thirty (30) days of the Certificate Administrator’s posting such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website (failure to respond by the end of such 30-day period being deemed consent of the Holders of the Certificates). To the extent any fee charged by any Rating Agency in connection with rendering such written confirmation is not paid by the related Mortgagor, such fee is to be an expense of the Trust; provided that the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents.
(e) The Special Servicer shall provide written reports and a copy of any Environmental Assessments in electronic format to the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer and the 17g-5 Information Provider monthly regarding any actions taken by the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Mortgage Loan as to which the environmental testing contemplated in subsection (c) above has revealed that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied, in each case until the earlier to occur of satisfaction of both such conditions, repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or release of the lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property.
(f) The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any abandoned and/or foreclosed properties which require reporting to the Internal Revenue Service and shall provide the Master Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is abandoned or foreclosed and
-130-
the Master Servicer shall report to the Internal Revenue Service and the related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via Form 1099C (or any successor form), all forgiveness of indebtedness to the extent such information has been provided to the Master Servicer by the Special Servicer. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.
(g) The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of the maintenance of an action to obtain a deficiency judgment if the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located and the terms of the Mortgage Loan permit such an action.
(h) The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared by one of its Servicing Officers, of each Final Recovery Determination in respect of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property and the basis thereof. Each Final Recovery Determination shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate promptly delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and the Master Servicer and in no event later than the next succeeding P&I Advance Determination Date.
Section 3.10 Trustee and Certificate Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or the receipt by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, will promptly notify the Trustee and the Custodian and request delivery of the related Mortgage File. Any such notice and request shall be in the form of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer and shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or remitted to the Master Servicer to enable such deposit, have been or will be so deposited. Within seven (7) Business Days (or within such shorter period as release can reasonably be accomplished if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer notifies the Custodian of an exigency) of receipt of such notice and request, the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Certificate Account.
(b) From time to time as is appropriate for servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File or any document therein to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or a designee), as the case may be. Upon return of such Mortgage File or such document to the Custodian, or the delivery to the Trustee and the Custodian of a certificate of a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) have been or will be so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Custodian to the
-131-
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or a designee), as the case may be, with the original being released upon termination of the Trust.
(c) Within seven (7) Business Days (or within such shorter period as delivery can reasonably be accomplished if the Special Servicer notifies the Trustee of an exigency) of receipt thereof, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Special Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. The Special Servicer shall be responsible for the preparation of all such documents and pleadings. When submitted to the Trustee for signature, such documents or pleadings shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.
Section 3.11 Servicing Compensation. (a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan (including Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans). As to each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan, the Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Servicing Fee with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, from payments of interest on each Mortgage Loan and REO Revenues allocable as interest on each REO Loan, and as otherwise provided by Section 3.05(a). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan out of that portion of related payments, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and REO Revenues (in the case of an REO Loan) allocable as recoveries of interest, to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a). Except as set forth in the next two sentences, the third paragraph of this Section 3.11(a), Section 6.02, Section 6.04 and Section 7.01(c), the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part (except in connection with a transfer of all of the Master Servicer’s duties and obligations hereunder to a successor servicer in accordance with the terms hereof).
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain, and shall not be required to deposit in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a), additional servicing compensation in the form of the following amounts to the extent collected from the related Mortgagor: (i) 100% of Excess Modification Fees related to any modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, provided the consent of the Special Servicer is not required to take such action and, in the event that the Special Servicer’s consent is required, then the Master Servicer shall be entitled to 50% of such fees, (ii) 100% of all assumption application
-132-
fees received on Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans (whether or not the consent of the Special Servicer is required) and all defeasance fees, (iii) 100% of assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, and other processing fees pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.20 or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, provided the consent of the Special Servicer is not required to take such actions, and (iv) 50% of all assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, and other processing fees (other than assumption application fees), pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.20 on the Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans for which the Special Servicer’s consent or approval is required on the Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and only to the extent that all amounts then due and payable with respect to the related Mortgage Loan have been paid. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation any charges for processing Mortgagor requests, beneficiary statements or demands, fees in connection with defeasance, if any, and other customary charges, and amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds, in each case only to the extent actually paid by the related Mortgagor and shall not be required to deposit such amounts in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a). Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Master Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d), (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the Certificate Account in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date), (iii) interest or other income earned on deposits in the Servicing Account which are not required by applicable law or the related Mortgage Loan to be paid to the Mortgagor and (iv) the difference, if positive, between Prepayment Interest Excess and Prepayment Interest Shortfalls collected on the Mortgage Loans during the related Due Period to the extent not required to be paid as Compensating Interest Payments. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of the Certificate Account and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer may, at its option, assign or pledge to any third party or retain for itself the Transferable Servicing Interest; provided, however, that in the event of any resignation or termination of such Master Servicer, all or any portion of the Transferable Servicing Interest may be reduced by the Trustee to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to obtain a qualified successor master servicer that meets the requirements of Section 6.04 and who requires market-rate servicing compensation that accrues at a per annum rate in excess of the Retained Fee Rate, and any such assignment of the Transferable Servicing Interest shall, by its terms be expressly subject to the terms of this Agreement and such reduction. The Master Servicer shall pay the Transferable Servicing Interest to the holder of the Transferable Servicing Interest at such time and to the extent the Master Servicer is entitled to receive payment of its Servicing Fees hereunder, notwithstanding any resignation or termination of the Master Servicer hereunder (subject to reduction pursuant to the preceding sentence).
-133-
(b) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Loan. As to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Loan, the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Loans, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof. The Special Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.05(a). The right to receive the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.
(c) Additional servicing compensation in the form of (i) 100% of all Excess Modification Fees related to modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, (ii) 100% of all assumption application fees and assumption fees received on any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and (iii) 50% of all Excess Modification Fees and assumption and consent fees pursuant to Section 3.08 or Section 3.20 and 50% of all earnout fees received with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and, in all cases, for which the Special Servicer’s consent or approval is required, shall be promptly paid to the Special Servicer by the Master Servicer to the extent such fees are paid by the Mortgagor and shall not be required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a). Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d) and (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the REO Account in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to such Distribution Date). The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Mortgage Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on such Corrected Mortgage Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that after receipt by the Special Servicer of Workout Fees with respect to such Corrected Mortgage Loan in an amount equal to $25,000, any Workout Fees in excess of such amount shall be reduced by the Excess Modification Fee Amount; provided, further, however, that in the event the Workout Fee collected over the course of such workout calculated at the Workout Fee Rate is less than $25,000, then the Special Servicer shall be entitled to an amount from the final payment on the related Mortgage Loan that would result in the total Workout Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of that Mortgage Loan to be $25,000. The Workout Fee shall be reduced (but not below zero) pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to each collection on the related Mortgage Loan from which such fee would otherwise be payable until an amount equal to such Excess Modification Fee Amount has been deducted in full. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan will cease to be payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan again becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan. If the

Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Mortgage Loans that became Corrected Mortgage Loans prior to the time of that termination or resignation except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if the Corrected Mortgage Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer resigns or is terminated (other than for cause), it will receive any Workout Fees payable on Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans for which the resigning or terminated Special Servicer had cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by the Special Servicer and evidenced by a signed writing, but which had not as of the time the Special Servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Mortgage Loan solely because the Mortgagor had not had sufficient time to make three consecutive timely Monthly Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan as a result of the Mortgagor making such three consecutive timely Monthly Payments. The successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees. The Special Servicer will not be entitled to receive any Workout Fees after termination for cause. A Liquidation Fee will be payable with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property as to which the Special Servicer receives any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds subject to the exceptions set forth in the definition of Liquidation Fee (such Liquidation Fee to be paid out of such Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds). If, however, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds are received with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan and the Special Servicer is properly entitled to a Workout Fee, such Workout Fee will be payable based on and out of the portion of such Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds that constitute principal and/or interest on such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee or a Workout Fee, but not both, with respect to proceeds on any Mortgage Loan. Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Special Servicer will also be entitled to additional fees in the form of Penalty Charges. The Special Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts, other than management fees in respect of REO Properties, due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not expressly payable directly out of the Certificate Account or the REO Account, and the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
(d) In determining the compensation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to Penalty Charges, on any Distribution Date, the aggregate Penalty Charges collected on any Mortgage Loan since the prior Distribution Date shall be applied (in such order) to reimburse (i) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee for interest on Advances on such Mortgage Loan due on such Distribution Date, (ii) the Trust Fund for all interest on Advances previously paid to the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vi) hereof with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) the Trust Fund for costs of all additional Trust Fund expenses (other than Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees), including without limitation, inspections by the Special Servicer and all unpaid Advances incurred since the Closing Date with respect to such Mortgage Loan; Penalty Charges remaining thereafter shall be distributed to the Master Servicer, if and to the extent accrued while such Mortgage Loan was a Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and to the
-135-
Special Servicer if and to the extent accrued on such Mortgage Loan during the period such Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
(e) With respect to each Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, without charge and within two (2) Business Days following the Determination Date related to such Distribution Date, an electronic report which may include HTML, word or excel compatible format, clean and searchable PDF format or such other format as mutually agreeable between the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date.
(f) The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Borrower, any property manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of a Mortgage Loan and any purchaser of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the management or disposition of any REO Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.11; provided that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.
Section 3.12 Inspections; Collection of Financial Statements. (a) The Master Servicer shall perform (at its own expense), or shall cause to be performed (at its own expense), a physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property relating to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) with a Stated Principal Balance of (i) $2,000,000 or more at least once every twelve (12) months and (ii) less than $2,000,000 at least once every twenty-four (24) months, in each case, commencing in the calendar year 2013 (and each Mortgaged Property shall be inspected on or prior to December 31, 2013); provided, however, that if a physical inspection has been performed by the Special Servicer in the previous twelve (12) months and the Master Servicer has no knowledge of a material change in the Mortgaged Property since such physical inspection, the Master Servicer will not be required to perform or cause to be performed, such physical inspection; provided, further, that if any scheduled payment becomes more than sixty (60) days delinquent on the related Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the related Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable after such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and annually thereafter for so long as such Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The cost of such inspection by the Special Servicer pursuant to the second proviso of the immediately preceding sentence shall be an expense of the Trust Fund, and, to the extent not paid by the related Mortgagor, reimbursed first from Penalty Charges actually received from the related Mortgagor and then from the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii). The Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall prepare or cause to be prepared a written report of each such inspection detailing the condition of and any damage to the Mortgaged Property to the extent evident from the inspection and specifying the existence of (i) any vacancy in the Mortgaged Property that the preparer of such report deems material, (ii) any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or

The Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall deliver a copy (in electronic format) of each such report prepared by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer, respectively, to the other party, to the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event) and to the Trustee within five (5) Business Days after completion of such report. Within five (5) Business Days after request for copies of such reports by the Rating Agencies, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver a copy (in electronic format) of each such report prepared by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer, as applicable, to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website.

(b) The Special Servicer, in the case of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, and the Master Servicer, in the case of any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, shall make reasonable efforts to collect promptly and review from each Mortgagor annual operating statements and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property, financial statements of such Mortgagor and any other reports required to be delivered under the terms of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents.
(c) The Special Servicer, in the case of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer, in the case of any Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan shall make reasonable efforts to collect promptly and review from each related Mortgagor quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property, and the quarterly and annual financial statements of such Mortgagor, whether or not delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be required to request such statements more than once if the related Mortgagor is not required to deliver such statements pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents. In addition, the Special Servicer shall cause quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets and rent rolls to be regularly prepared in respect of each REO Property and shall collect all such items promptly following their preparation. The Special Servicer shall deliver all such items to the Master Servicer within five (5) days of receipt and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall deliver copies of all the foregoing items so collected thereby to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and the Depositor, in electronic format, in each case within sixty (60) days of its receipt thereof, but in no event, in the case of annual statements, later than June 30 of each year commencing June 30, 2013. Upon the request of any Privileged Person (other than the NRSROs) to receive copies of such items, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver electronic copies of such items to the Certificate Administrator to be posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

(f) The Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer the reports required of the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(c) and Section 3.12(d), and the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator the reports and data files set forth in Section 3.12(e). The Master Servicer may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports and/or data to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(c) and Section 3.12(d). The Certificate Administrator may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports and/or data to be provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(e). In the case of information or reports to be furnished by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 3.12(e), to the extent that such information or reports are, in turn, based on information or reports to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(c) or Section 3.12(d) and to the extent that such reports are to be prepared and delivered by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(c) or Section 3.12(d), the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to provide such information or reports to the Certificate Administrator until it has received the requisite information or reports from the Special Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall not be in default hereunder due to a delay in providing the reports required by Section 3.12(e) caused by the Special Servicer’s failure to timely provide any information or report required under Section 3.12(c) or Section 3.12(d) of this Agreement.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the failure of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by this Section 3.12 shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.12 to the extent the Master Servicer or Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage
-139-
Loans or Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer may disclose any such information or any additional information to any Person so long as such disclosure is consistent with applicable law and the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).
(h) Unless otherwise specifically stated herein, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is required to deliver any statement, report or information under any provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may satisfy such obligation by (x) physically delivering a paper copy of such statement, report or information, (y) delivering such statement, report or information in a commonly used electronic format or (z) except with respect to information to be provided to the Certificate Administrator and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, making such statement, report or information available on the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s Internet website, unless this Agreement expressly specifies a particular method of delivery.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver any required statements, reports or other information to the Certificate Administrator in an electronic format mutually agreeable to the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may physically deliver a paper copy of any such statement, report or information as a temporary measure due to system problems, however, copies in electronic format shall follow upon the correction of such system problems.
Section 3.13 [Reserved.]
Section 3.14 [Reserved.]
Section 3.15 Access to Certain Information. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide or cause to be provided to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall afford access to any Privileged Person (other than the NRSROs and financial market publishers designated as Privileged Persons by the Depositor) that are federally insured financial institutions, the OTS, the FDIC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America and the supervisory agents and examiners of such boards and such corporations, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any such Certificateholder, and to each Holder of a Control Eligible Certificate, access to any documentation or information regarding the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund within its control which may be required by applicable law. At the election of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, such access may be afforded to such Person identified above by the delivery of copies of information as requested by such Person and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be permitted to require payment (other than from the Directing Certificateholder and the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator on its own behalf or on behalf of the Certificateholders) of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by it in making such copies. Such access shall (except as described in the preceding sentence) be afforded without charge but only upon
-140-
reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian.
The failure of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.15 as a result of a confidentiality obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.15. In connection with providing information pursuant to this Section 3.15, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer may each (i) affix a reasonable disclaimer to any information provided by it for which it is not the original source (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto); (ii) affix to any information provided by it a reasonable statement regarding securities law restrictions on such information and/or condition access to information on (x) the execution of a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit X, or (y) execution of a “click-through” confidentiality agreement if such information is being provided through the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s website; (iii) withhold access to confidential information or any intellectual property; and/or (iv) withhold access to items of information contained in the Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan if the disclosure of such items is prohibited by applicable law or the provisions of any related Mortgage Loan documents or would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by it pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment consistent with the applicable Servicing Standard, that such disclosure would violate applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Properties, constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust or the Trust Fund or otherwise materially harm the Trust or the Trust Fund. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may refrain from disclosing information that it reasonably determines would prejudice the interest of the Certificateholders with respect to a workout or exercise of remedies as to any particular Mortgage Loan.
Upon the reasonable request of any Certificateholder identified to the Master Servicer’s reasonable satisfaction, the Master Servicer may provide (or forward electronically) (at the expense of such Certificateholder) copies of any appraisals, operating statements, rent rolls and financial statements obtained by the Master Servicer; provided that, in connection therewith, the Master Servicer may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is a Holder of Certificates or a beneficial holder of Book-Entry Certificates (or an investment advisor for a Certificateholder or beneficial holder of Book-Entry Certificates) and will keep such information confidential and shall use such information only for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Certificateholder may have under the Trust.

(f) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be permitted to orally communicate with the Rating Agencies regarding any of the Mortgage Loan documents and any other matter related to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgaged Properties, the related Mortgagors or any other matters relating to this Agreement or related Intercreditor Agreement, provided that such party summarizes the information provided to the Rating Agencies in such communication and provides the 17g-5 Information Provider with such summary in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.15(c) the same day such communication takes place; provided that the summary of such oral communications shall not identify which Rating Agency the communication was with. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such summary on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.15(c).
(g) The Special Servicer, subject to the limitations on delivery of Privileged Communications, shall deliver to the Senior Trust Advisor such reports and other information produced or otherwise available to the Directing Certificateholder (other than, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, any Asset Status Reports that are not Final Asset Status Reports), or Certificateholders generally, requested by the Senior Trust Advisor in support of the performance of its obligations under this Agreement in electronic format.
(h) The costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 3.15 by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and any other party hereto shall not be additional Trust Fund expenses, but shall be borne by the applicable party hereto.
Section 3.16 Title to REO Property; REO Account. (a) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued in the name of the Trust where permitted by applicable law or regulation and consistent with customary servicing procedures, and otherwise, in the name of the Trustee or its nominee on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall sell any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such REO Property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(b)(1), for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Special Servicer either (i) applies for an extension of time no later than sixty (60) days prior to the close of the third calendar year in which it acquired ownership (or the period provided in the then applicable REMIC Provisions) and such extension is granted or is not denied (an “REO Extension”) by the Internal Revenue Service to sell such REO Property or (ii) obtains for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which such acquisition occurred will not cause the imposition of a tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest or Certificate is outstanding. If the Special Servicer is granted or not denied the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within such longer period as is permitted by such REO Extension or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with
-148-
its being granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, shall be an expense of the Trust Fund payable out of the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a).
(b) The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. If an REO Acquisition shall occur, the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more REO Accounts, held on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, as their interest shall appear, and the Trustee (as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests), for the retention of revenues and other proceeds derived from each REO Property. The REO Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the REO Account, within one (1) Business Day after receipt, all REO Revenues, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of an REO Property. Funds in the REO Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.06. The Special Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the Master Servicer of the location of the REO Account when first established and of the new location of the REO Account prior to any change thereof.
(c) The Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management, insuring, leasing, maintenance and disposition of any REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on deposit in the REO Account relating to such REO Property. On or prior to each Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account and remit to the Master Servicer, which shall deposit into the Certificate Account, the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each REO Property during the most recently ended Due Period, net of (i) any withdrawals made out of such amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence and (ii) Net Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the REO Account; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may retain in such REO Account, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, such portion of such balance as may be necessary to maintain a reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements, leasing, management and tenant improvements and other related expenses for the related REO Property. In addition, on or prior to each Determination Date, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with a written accounting of amounts remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Certificate Account, as applicable, on such date. The Master Servicer shall apply all such amounts as instructed by the Special Servicer on the Determination Date for the related Distribution Date.
(d) The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate records, on a property-by-property basis, for the purpose of accounting for all deposits to, and withdrawals from, the REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(b) or Section 3.16(c).
Section 3.17 Management of REO Property. (a) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer shall manage, consent, protect, operate and lease such REO Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests) solely for the purpose of its timely disposition and sale in a manner that does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the Trust Fund of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or result in an
-149-
Adverse REMIC Event. Subject to the foregoing, however, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection therewith as are in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests) all as a collective whole (as determined by the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment in accordance with the Servicing Standard). Subject to this Section 3.17, the Special Servicer may allow the Trust Fund to earn “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(d) of the Code if it determines that earning such income is in the best interests of Certificateholders on a net after-tax basis as compared with net leasing such REO Property or operating such REO Property on a different basis. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis (and in no event later than one (1) Business Day following receipt of such funds) in the applicable REO Account all revenues received by it with respect to each REO Property and the related REO Loan, and shall withdraw from the REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect to such REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation, management, leasing and maintenance of such REO Property, including, without limitation:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;
(iii) any ground rents in respect of such REO Property, if applicable; and
(iv) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain and lease such REO Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account in respect of any REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer (subject to receiving notice from the Special Servicer in accordance with the procedures set forth elsewhere in this Agreement) shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes unless (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder) such advances would, if made, constitute Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:
(i) permit the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than 10% of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default
-150-
on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(iv) Directly Operate, or allow any other Person, other than an Independent Contractor, to Directly Operate, any REO Property on any date more than ninety (90) days after its acquisition date;
unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held for the benefit of the Trust Fund, in which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
(c) The Special Servicer shall contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property within ninety (90) days of the acquisition date thereof, provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract may not be inconsistent herewith and shall reflect an agreement reached at arm’s length;
(ii) the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) shall be reasonable and customary in light of the nature and locality of the Mortgaged Property;
(iii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including, without limitation, those listed in subsection (a) hereof, and (B) remit all related revenues collected (net of its fees and such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer upon receipt;
(iv) none of the provisions of this Section 3.17(c) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and
(v) the Special Servicer shall be obligated to manage and supervise such Independent Contractor in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
The Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
(d) When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer a statement prepared by the Special Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or
-151-
rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting Rents from Real Property in respect of, any REO Property in accordance with Sections 3.17(a) and 3.17(b).
Section 3.18 Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. (a) (i) Within thirty (30) days after a Mortgage Loan has become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan with respect to any Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall order (but shall not be required to have received) an Appraisal and within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Appraisal shall determine the fair value of such Defaulted Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that if the Special Servicer is then in the process of obtaining an Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall make its fair value determination as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days) after its receipt of such an Appraisal. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, adjust its fair value determination based upon changed circumstances, new information and other relevant factors, in each instance in accordance with a review of such circumstances and new information in accordance with the Servicing Standard, provided that the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer in writing of the initial fair value determination and any adjustment to its fair value determination.
(ii) If any Mortgage Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, then the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Master Servicer (with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall promptly notify in writing the Master Servicer and any related mezzanine lender of any events requiring notice under the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Thereafter, any related mezzanine lender will, notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.18 to the contrary, have the option to purchase the related Mortgage Loan and cure defaults relating thereto as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.
(iii) If any Mortgage Loan not subject to an Intercreditor Agreement becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, or if the related mezzanine lender for any such Mortgage Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement has not previously exercised the option to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the previous paragraph, the Special Servicer may offer to sell to any Person any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (to the extent consistent with any related Intercreditor Agreement) or may offer to purchase any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust Fund on a net present value basis. The Special Servicer is required to give the Trustee not less than five (5) days prior written notice of its intention to sell any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, in which case the Special Servicer is required to accept the highest offer received from any person for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price or, at its option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor, purchase such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan at such Purchase Price.
-152-
(iv) (A) In the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as to which a default has occurred and is continuing, in the absence of any offer at least equal to the Purchase Price pursuant to clause (iii) above (or purchase by the Special Servicer for such price), the Special Servicer shall, subject to subclause (B) below, accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, a holder of a related mezzanine loan, or any known Affiliate of any such Person. The Trustee (based upon updated Appraisals (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) received by the Trustee) shall determine the fair price for the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan if the highest offeror is an Interested Person, and any such determination by the Trustee shall be binding upon all parties. The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Trust Fund in connection with making such determination. Neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
(B) The Special Servicer will not be obligated to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the holders of Certificates. In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the holders of Certificates (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable); provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to sell all Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any fair value determination, to the extent required to do so pursuant to this Section 3.18, on the basis of anything other than the related Appraisal.
(v) Unless and until any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is sold pursuant to this Section 3.18(a), the Special Servicer shall pursue such other resolution strategies with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, workout and foreclosure, as the Special Servicer may deem appropriate, consistent with the Asset Status Report and the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions.
(b) (i) (A) The Special Servicer may purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor. The Special Servicer may also offer to sell to any Person any REO Property, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such a sale would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund. The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of the Purchase Price and its intention to (i) purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor or (ii) sell any REO Property, in which case the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person for any REO Property in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor. To the extent permitted by applicable
-153-
law, and subject to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer, an Affiliate of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer, or an employee of either of them may act as broker in connection with the sale of any REO Property and may retain from the proceeds of such sale a brokerage commission that does not exceed the commission that would have been earned by an independent broker pursuant to a brokerage agreement entered into at arm’s length.
(B) In the absence of any such offer as set forth in subclause (A) above, the Special Servicer shall, subject to subclause (C) below, accept the highest offer for such REO Property received from any Person that is determined to be a fair price (1) by the Special Servicer, if the highest bidder is a Person other than an Interested Person, or (2) by the Trustee, if the highest bidder is an Interested Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any REO Property pursuant hereto.
(C) The Special Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, as a collective whole. In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, as a collective whole (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable).
(D) In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any REO Property, the Trustee shall obtain and may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Trust Fund. In determining whether any offer constitutes a fair price for any REO Property, the Special Servicer or the Trustee (or, if applicable, such appraiser) shall take into account, and any appraiser or other expert in real estate matters shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the physical condition of such REO Property, the state of the local economy and the Trust Fund’s obligation to comply with REMIC Provisions.
(ii) Subject to the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. A sale of any REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Senior Trust Advisor or the Trust Fund (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties of title, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust Fund) and, if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Senior Trust Advisor nor the Trustee shall have any liability to the
-154-
Trust Fund or any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.
(c) Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any REO Property shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions or authoritative interpretations thereof made or issued subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.18 to the contrary, any mezzanine lender will have the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, as applicable, and cure defaults relating thereto, as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.
(e) Unless otherwise provided in an Intercreditor Agreement the sale of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.18 will be on a servicing released basis.
Section 3.19 Additional Obligations of Master Servicer and Special Servicer. (a) The Master Servicer shall deliver all Compensating Interest Payments to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account on each P&I Advance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor.
(b) Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement thereof would exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Certificate Account and available for distribution on the next Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, each at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) immediately, as an accommodation may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the one month collection period ending on the then-current Determination Date, for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months (provided that any such deferral exceeding six (6) months shall require, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder), and any election to so defer or not to defer shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election at its sole option and in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent collection period (subject, again, to the same sole option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be payable first from principal collections as described above prior to payment from other collections). In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the one month collection period ending on the related Determination Date for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans to be received until the end of such collection period before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof); provided, however, that if, at any time the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, elects, in its sole discretion, not to refrain from obtaining
-155-
such reimbursement or otherwise determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a one-month collection period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections deposited in the Certificate Account for such Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall use its reasonable efforts to give the 17g-5 Information Provider fifteen (15) days’ notice of such determination for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.15(c), unless extraordinary circumstances make such notice impractical. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give notice as required by the preceding sentence shall in no way affect the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s election whether to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement as described in this Section 3.19(b). Nothing herein shall give the Master Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance to the extent of any principal collections then available in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v).
The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this section or to comply with the terms of this section and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made; provided, however, that the fact that a decision to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances over time, or not to do so, benefits some classes of Certificateholders to the detriment of other classes shall not, with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard and/or with respect to the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), constitute a violation of any fiduciary duty to Certificateholders or any contractual obligation hereunder. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that its ability to fully recover the Nonrecoverable Advances has been compromised, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from all amounts in the Certificate Account for such Distribution Date (deemed first from principal and then interest). Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more collection periods shall not limit the accrual of interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, agreement to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders a right to prior payment of distributions over the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, right to reimbursement for Advances (deferred or otherwise) and accrued interest thereon. In all events, the decision to defer reimbursement or to seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this section or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election.

Section 3.20(d), Section 3.20(i), Section 3.20(j) and Section 6.07, but subject to any other conditions set forth thereunder, the Master Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of a Mortgage Loan without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer (it being understood that the Master Servicer will promptly provide the Special Servicer with notice of any request for such modification, waiver or amendment, the Master Servicer’s written recommendation and analysis, and all information reasonably available to the Master Servicer that may be reasonably requested by the Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent); provided that in the event that the Special Servicer does not respond within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such recommendation and analysis and all such information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent, plus the time period provided to the Directing Certificateholder under this Agreement, the Special Servicer’s consent to such modification, waiver or amendment shall be deemed granted; and provided, further, that no extension entered into pursuant to this Section 3.20(a) shall extend the Maturity Date beyond the earlier of (i) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan secured by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date twenty years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease, ten (10) years, prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate. If such extension would extend the Maturity Date of a Mortgage Loan for more than twelve (12) months from and after the original Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan and such Mortgage Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, prior to any such extension, the Master Servicer shall (1) provide the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Senior Trust Advisor and, prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if not required or permitted to be paid by the Mortgagor, to be paid as a Trust Fund expense in accordance with Section 3.11(d) that such extension would not constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (2) subject to the Servicing Standard, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Event, obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (which consent shall be coordinated through the Special Servicer). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, without the consent of the Special Servicer, may modify or amend the terms of any Mortgage Loan in order to (i) cure any ambiguity or mistake therein or (ii) correct or supplement any provisions therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or correct any error; provided that, if the Mortgage Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, such modification or amendment would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).
Subject to Section 6.07 herein, applicable law and the Mortgage Loan documents, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) for one or more other parcels of real property at any time the Mortgage Loan is not in default pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable unless (i) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, obtains Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and delivers such Rating Agency Confirmation to the Directing Certificateholder, if permitted by the applicable Rating Agency) and (ii) such substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury
-157-
Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event (and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may obtain and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor if not prohibited by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, and if so prohibited, at the expense of the Trust Fund) with respect thereto).
(b) If the Special Servicer determines that a modification, waiver or amendment (including, without limitation, the forgiveness or deferral of interest or principal or the substitution of collateral pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan or otherwise, the release of collateral or the pledge of additional collateral) of the terms of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan with respect to which a payment default or other material default has occurred or a payment default or other material default is, in the Special Servicer’s judgment, reasonably foreseeable (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Special Servicer), is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) to the Trust, then the Special Servicer may agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, subject to (x) the provisions of this Section 3.20(b) and Section 3.20(c) and (y) other than after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Event, the approval of the Directing Certificateholder as provided in Section 6.07; provided that in the case of any release or substitution of collateral (other than a defeasance), the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel that such release or substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event.
In connection with (i) the release of a Mortgaged Property or any portion of a Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property or any portion of a Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the Mortgage Loan documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate (or to approve the calculation of the related borrower of) the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the related Mortgage Loan, then such calculation shall, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any, as determined by an appropriate third party.
The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to the extent possible to cause each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to fully amortize prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and shall not agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment would (1) extend the maturity date of any such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to a date occurring later than the earlier of (a) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (b) if such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is secured by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date occurring twenty years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, ten (10) years prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate (including any options to extend such leasehold estate exercisable unilaterally by the related Mortgagor), or (2) provide for the deferral
-158-
of interest unless interest accrues on the related Mortgage Loan generally at the related Mortgage Rate.
(c) Any provision of this Section 3.20 to the contrary notwithstanding, except when a Mortgage Loan is in default or default with respect thereto is reasonably foreseeable, no fee described in this Section 3.20 shall be collected by any Master Servicer or Special Servicer from a Mortgagor (or on behalf of the Mortgagor) in conjunction with any consent or any modification, waiver or amendment of a Mortgage Loan (unless the amount thereof is specified in the related Mortgage Note) if the collection of such fee would cause such consent, modification, waiver or amendment to be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Note within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).
(d) To the extent consistent with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the first sentence of Section 3.20(a), and Section 6.07), the Master Servicer (as provided in Sections 3.08(a), 3.08(b) and 3.08(e)) or the Special Servicer may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, agree to any waiver, modification or amendment of a Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable only if it provides the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor or such other Person requesting such modification or, if such expense cannot be collected from the related Mortgagor or such other Person, to be paid out of the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a); provided that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor or such other Person to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents) to the effect that the contemplated waiver, modification or amendment (i) will not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (ii) will not cause (x) either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for purposes of the Code or (y) either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to be subject to any tax under the REMIC Provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive the payment of any Yield Maintenance Charge or the requirement that any prepayment of a Mortgage Loan be made on a Due Date, or if not made on a Due Date, be accompanied by all interest that would be due on the next Due Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
(e) In the event of a modification that creates Mortgage Deferred Interest, such Mortgage Deferred Interest will be allocated to reduce the Distributable Certificate Interest of the Class or Classes of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) with the latest sequential designation then outstanding, and to the extent so reduced, shall be added to the Certificate Balance of such Class.
(f) Subject to Section 3.20(c), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each may, as a condition to its granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent, modification (including extensions), waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, discretion pursuant to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan and is permitted by the terms of this Agreement, require that such Mortgagor pay to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, as additional servicing compensation, a reasonable or
-159-
customary fee, for the additional services performed in connection with such request; provided that the charging of such fee is not a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).
(g) All modifications (including extensions), waivers and amendments of the Mortgage Loans entered into pursuant to this Section 3.20 shall be in writing, signed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and the related Mortgagor (and by any guarantor of the related Mortgage Loan, if such guarantor’s signature is required by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard).
(h) With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment for which it is responsible, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (other than following the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event), the related Mortgage Loan Seller (if such Mortgage Loan Seller is not a Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder), the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.15(c)) in writing of any modification, waiver or amendment (in each case, after it is finalized and executed) of any term of any Mortgage Loan that is modified, waived or amended and the date thereof. With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment (in each case, after it is finalized and executed) for which it is responsible, the Master Servicer shall provide written notice of any such modification, waiver or amendment to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer (and the Special Servicer shall, other than following the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, forward such notice to the Directing Certificateholder), the related Mortgage Loan Seller (so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller is not a Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder), the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.15(c)). The party responsible for delivering notice shall deliver to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer (if such notice is being delivered by the Special Servicer) for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) following the execution thereof. Following receipt of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, delivery of the aforesaid modification, waiver or amendment to the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Administrator shall forward a copy thereof to each Holder of a Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class EC, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G or Class NR Certificate upon request.
(i) The Master Servicer shall process all defeasance transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and the Master Servicer has received (i) replacement collateral consisting of government securities within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), which satisfies the requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Loan (or defeased portion thereof) when due, (ii) a certificate of an Independent certified public accountant to the effect that such substituted property will provide cash flows sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including payments
-160-
at maturity) on such Mortgage Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) one or more Opinions of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor) to the effect that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, will have a first priority perfected security interest in such substituted Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that, to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents, the related Mortgagor shall pay the cost of any such opinion as a condition to granting such defeasance, (iv) to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Mortgagor shall establish a single purpose entity to act as a successor Mortgagor, if so required by the Rating Agencies, (v) to the extent permissible under the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to require the related Mortgagor to pay all costs of such defeasance, including but not limited to the cost of maintaining any successor Mortgagor, and (vi) to the extent permissible under the Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall obtain, at the expense of the related Mortgagor, Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency; provided, further, however, that no such confirmation from S&P, Fitch, DBRS or KBRA shall be required to the extent that the Master Servicer has delivered a defeasance certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit U hereto for any Mortgage Loan that (together with any Mortgage Loans cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loans) is: (i) a Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Principal Balance less than $20,000,000, (ii) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans, and (iii) a Mortgage Loan that is not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that requiring the Mortgagor to pay for the items specified in clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) in the preceding sentence would be inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents, such reasonable costs shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as and to the extent set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
(j) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the related Mortgage Loan documents to the contrary, the Master Servicer may permit the substitution of “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) for any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan (or any portion thereof), in lieu of the defeasance collateral specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, as applicable; provided that such substitution is consistent with the Servicing Standard and the Master Servicer reasonably determines that allowing their use would not cause a default or event of default to become reasonably foreseeable and the Master Servicer receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents or otherwise as a Trust Fund expense) to the effect that such use would not be and would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise constitute an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to either REMIC; and provided, further, that the requirements set forth in Section 3.20(i) (including receipt of any Rating Agency Confirmation) are satisfied; and provided, further, that such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, or the Master Servicer shall obtain Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.
(k) If required under the related Mortgage Loan documents or if otherwise consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Defeasance Accounts”), which shall be Eligible Accounts, into which all
-161-
payments received by the Master Servicer from any defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Defeasance Accounts in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Defeasance Account for a period in excess of ninety (90) days, unless such amounts are reinvested by the Master Servicer in “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii). To the extent not required or permitted to be placed in a separate account, the Master Servicer shall deposit all payments received by it from defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property into the Certificate Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Mortgage Loan in advance of its Due Date in accordance with clause (a)(i) of the definition of “Available Distribution Amount”, and not as a prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Certificate Account for a period in excess of 365 days (or 366 days in the case of a leap year).
(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, unless it has received Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (the cost of which shall be paid by the related Mortgagor, if so allowed by the terms of the related loan documents and otherwise paid out of general collections) grant or accept any consent, approval or direction regarding the termination of the related property manager or the designation of any replacement property manager, with respect to any Mortgaged Property that secures a Mortgage Loan that (i) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance or (ii) has an unpaid principal balance that is at least equal to five percent (5%) of the then aggregate principal balance of all Mortgage Loans or $35,000,000.
Section 3.21 Transfer of Servicing Between Master Servicer and Special Servicer; Recordkeeping; Asset Status Report. (a) Upon determining that a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly give notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Senior Trust Advisor and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder thereof, and the Master Servicer shall deliver the related Mortgage File and Servicing File to the Special Servicer and concurrently provide a copy of such Servicing File, exclusive of all Privileged Communications, to the Senior Trust Advisor. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to the Mortgage Loan, either in the Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise available to the Master Servicer without undue burden or expense, and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its functions hereunder with respect thereto. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of each related Servicing Transfer Event (or, in the case of clauses (viii), (ix) or (x) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event, within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice from the Special Servicer of such Servicing Transfer Event when the Special Servicer makes the determination) and in any event shall continue to act as Master Servicer and administrator of such Mortgage Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of such Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer
-162-
shall deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Senior Trust Advisor and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, a copy of the notice of such Servicing Transfer Event provided by the Master Servicer to the Special Servicer, or by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer, pursuant to this Section 3.21. Prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to each Controlling Class Certificateholder a copy of the notice of such Servicing Transfer Event provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.21.
Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than an REO Loan) has become current and has remained current for three consecutive Monthly Payments (provided that (i) no additional Servicing Transfer Event is foreseeable in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, and (ii) for such purposes taking into account any modification or amendment of such Mortgage Loan), and that no other Servicing Transfer Event is continuing with respect thereto, the Special Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof to the Master Servicer, the Senior Trust Advisor and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder and shall return the related Mortgage File and Servicing File to the Master Servicer (or copies thereof if copies only were delivered to the Special Servicer) and upon giving such notice, and returning such Mortgage File and Servicing File to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service such Corrected Mortgage Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Master Servicer to service and administer such Mortgage Loan shall recommence.
(b) In servicing any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Special Servicer will provide to the Custodian originals of documents included within the definition of “Mortgage File” for inclusion in the related Mortgage File to the extent within its possession (with a copy of each such original to the Master Servicer), and provide the Master Servicer with copies of any additional related Mortgage Loan information including correspondence with the related Mortgagor.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.12(d), the Master Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to each of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and shall provide the Special Servicer with any information in its possession with respect to such records to enable the Special Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement; provided that this statement shall not be construed to require the Master Servicer to produce any additional reports.
(d) No later than sixty (60) days after a Servicing Transfer Event for a Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format a report (the “Asset Status Report”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event), the Senior Trust Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Event) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.15(c)). Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable based on the information that was delivered to the Special Servicer in connection with the transfer of servicing pursuant to the Servicing Transfer Event:
-163-
(i) summary of the status of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and any negotiations with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known to the Special Servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies as aforesaid and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the related Mortgage Loan and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;
(iii) the most current rent roll and income or operating statement available for the related Mortgaged Property;
(iv) the Special Servicer’s recommendations on how such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan might be returned to performing status and returned to the Master Servicer for regular servicing or otherwise realized upon;
(v) a copy of the last obtained Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property; and
(vi) such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the Servicing Standard.
If within ten (10) Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the Directing Certificateholder does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing, the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to applicable law, the Servicing Standard or the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents. If, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Event, the Directing Certificateholder disapproves such Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days of receipt, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report and deliver a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such disapproval, to the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such revised Asset Status Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.15(c)). Prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Event, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above in this Section 3.21(d) until the Directing Certificateholder shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report or until the Special Servicer makes one of the determinations described below. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report; provided that such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.21(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer (A) may, following the occurrence of an extraordinary event with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, take any action set forth in such Asset Status Report before the expiration of a ten (10) Business Day period if the Special Servicer has reasonably determined that failure to take such action would materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders and it has made a reasonable effort, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, to contact the Directing Certificateholder and (B) in any case, shall determine whether such affirmative disapproval is not in the best
-164-
interest of all the Certificateholders pursuant to the Servicing Standard and upon such determination shall implement the action recommended in the Asset Status Report notwithstanding any affirmative disapproval of the Asset Status Report; provided, however, that such Asset Status Report does not, and is not intended to be a, substitute for the approvals that are specifically required pursuant to Section 6.07.
No direction or disapproval of the Directing Certificateholder hereunder or failure of the Directing Certificateholder to consent to or approve (including any deemed consents or approvals) any request of the Special Servicer, shall (a) require or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC and the grantor trust status of the Grantor Trust, or (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions, or (c) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Senior Trust Advisor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability or (d) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, Trustee’s or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Event, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Senior Trust Advisor in connection with each Asset Status Report prior to finalizing and executing such Asset Status Report and the Senior Trust Advisor shall propose, by written notice, alternative courses of action within ten (10) days of receipt of each Asset Status Report only to the extent the Senior Trust Advisor determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are Holders of the Control Eligible Certificates), as a collective whole. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Event, but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall also consult with the Directing Certificateholder in connection with each Asset Status Report prior to finalizing and executing such Asset Status Report and the Directing Certificateholder shall be permitted to propose alternative courses of action within ten (10) days of receipt of each Asset Status Report. The Special Servicer shall consider any such proposals from the Senior Trust Advisor and/or the Directing Certificateholder and determine whether any changes to its proposed Asset Status Report should be made, such determination being made in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the other terms of this Agreement. In the event that the Senior Trust Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder does not propose alternative courses of action within ten (10) days after receipt of such Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall implement the Asset Status Report as proposed by the Special Servicer.
After the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder (other than in its capacity as a Certificateholder) shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any matter set forth therein. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Event, the Directing Certificateholder shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.21.
-165-
(e) (i) Upon receiving notice of the occurrence of the events described in clause (iv) or clause (x) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event (without regard to the 60-day or 30-day period, respectively, set forth therein), the Master Servicer shall with reasonable promptness give notice thereof, and shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information relating to the Mortgage Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to negotiate with the related Mortgagor. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of each such event.
(ii) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Event, upon receiving notice of the occurrence of an event described in clause (iv) or (x) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event (without regard to the 60-day or 30-day period, respectively, set forth therein), the Master Servicer shall deliver notice thereof to the Senior Trust Advisor at the same time such notice is provided to the Special Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above.
(f) Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, no later than two (2) Business Days following the establishment of a Final Asset Status Report with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format a draft notice to the Certificateholders that will include a draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report (which briefly summarizes such Final Asset Status Report, but shall not include any Privileged Information) to the Directing Certificateholder. If, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such draft summary, the Directing Certificateholder approves of, or does not disapprove of, such draft summary, then the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format such notice and summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.15(b). If the Directing Certificateholder affirmatively disapproves of such summary in writing, then within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such disapproval, the Special Servicer shall revise the summary and deliver such new summary to the Directing Certificateholder until the Directing Certificateholder approves such draft summary; provided, however, that if the Directing Certificateholder has not approved of the draft summary of the Asset Status Report within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of the initial draft summary of the Asset Status Report, then the most recent draft summary of the Asset Status Report delivered by the Special Servicer prior to such 20th Business Day shall be deemed to be the final summary of the Asset Status Report; provided, further, however, that if at any time the Special Servicer determines that any affirmative disapproval of such draft summary by the Directing Certificateholder is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders pursuant to the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format such notice and summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.15(b) notwithstanding such disapproval. The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver (but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days following its completion) a copy of each Final Asset Status Report to the Senior Trust Advisor.
(g) No provision of this Section 3.21 shall require the Special Servicer to take or to refrain from taking any action because of any proposal, objection or comment by the Senior Trust Advisor or a recommendation of the Senior Trust Advisor.

(a) The Master Servicer and Special Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements to provide for the performance by third parties of any or all of its respective obligations hereunder; provided that the Sub-Servicing Agreement as amended or modified: (i) is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects and requires the Sub-Servicer to comply with all of the applicable conditions of this Agreement; (ii) provides that if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer Termination Event), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of such party under such agreement, or, alternatively, may act in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof under the circumstances described therein (subject to Section 3.22(g) hereof); (iii) provides that the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders (as holder of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests) shall be a third party beneficiary under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, but that (except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of such party thereunder as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Senior Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, any successor master servicer or successor special servicer or any Certificateholder shall have any duties under such Sub-Servicing Agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom; (iv) permits any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to such purchased Mortgage Loan at its option and without penalty; provided, however, that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements may only be terminated by the Trustee or its designees as contemplated by Section 3.22(g) hereof and in such additional manner and by such other Persons as is provided in such Sub-Servicing Agreement; (v) does not permit the Sub-Servicer any direct rights of indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust Fund; (vi) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to modify any Mortgage Loan unless and to the extent the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is permitted hereunder to modify such Mortgage Loan and (vii) provides that the Sub-Servicer shall be in default under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be terminated (following the expiration of any applicable grace period) if the Sub-Servicer fails (A) to deliver by the due date any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered to the Master Servicer under Article XI or under the Sub-Servicing Agreement or (B) to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations contained in the Sub-Servicing Agreement regarding creating, obtaining or delivering any Exchange Act reporting items required for any party to this Agreement to perform its obligations under Article XI. Any successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, hereunder shall, upon becoming successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, be assigned and shall assume any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable (subject to Section 3.22(g) hereof). In addition, each Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer may but need not provide that the obligations of the Sub-Servicer thereunder shall terminate with respect to any Mortgage Loan serviced thereunder at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the Sub-Servicing Agreement may provide (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) that the Sub-Servicer will continue to make all Advances and calculations and prepare all reports required under the Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and continue to collect its Primary Servicing Fees as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred and with respect to REO Properties (and the
-167-
related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred and to render such incidental services with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for in such Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments thereto and modifications thereof, entered into by it, in each case promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer; and, in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) to satisfy the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder to make Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Master Servicer out of its own funds and, accordingly, in such event, such Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-Servicer in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Servicer were the Master Servicer, and, for so long as they are outstanding, such Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 3.03(d), such interest to be allocable between the Master Servicer and such Sub-Servicer as may be provided (if at all) pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Servicing Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received any payment when a Sub-Servicer retained by it receives such payment. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Trustee and the Depositor in writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer, except that the Master Servicer need not provide such notice as to the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements.
(b) Each Sub-Servicer shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of the related Mortgage Loans or the compliance with its obligations under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement.
(c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust Fund) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to cause any Initial Sub-Servicer to comply with the requirements of Article XI hereof. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer shall have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it in accordance with the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.
(d) In the event the Trustee or its designee becomes successor master servicer and assumes the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to such Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held on behalf of it thereunder,
-168-
and otherwise use reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.
(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of any Sub-Servicing Agreement and this Section 3.22, except to the extent provided in Article XI with respect to the obligations of any Sub-Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and responsible to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificateholders for the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible, and the Master Servicer shall pay the fees of any Sub-Servicer thereunder as and when due from its own funds. In no event shall the Trust Fund bear any termination fee required to be paid to any Sub-Servicer as a result of such Sub-Servicer’s termination under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.
(f) The Trustee, upon the request of the Master Servicer, shall furnish to any Sub-Servicer any documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Sub-Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.
(g) Each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that, in the event the Trustee or any other Person becomes successor master servicer, the Trustee or such successor master servicer shall have the right to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with or without cause and without a fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other contrary provision in this Agreement, the Trustee and any successor master servicer shall assume each Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement and (i) the Initial Sub-Servicer’s rights and obligations under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement shall expressly survive a termination of the Master Servicer’s servicing rights under this Agreement; provided that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its provisions; (ii) any successor master servicer, including, without limitation, the Trustee (if it assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer) shall be deemed to automatically assume and agree to the then-current Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement without further action upon becoming the successor master servicer and (iii) this Agreement may not be modified in any manner which would increase the obligations or limit the rights of the Initial Sub-Servicer hereunder and/or under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Initial Sub-Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(h) With respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall, upon request (such request to be made reasonably in advance as appropriate to the circumstances surrounding such request) of the related Sub-Servicer, reasonably cooperate in delivering reports and information, including remittance information, and affording access to information to the related Sub-Servicer that would be required to be delivered or afforded, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not enter into any Sub-Servicing Agreement which provides for the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations herein, without, prior to the occurrence and
-169-
continuance of any Control Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, except to the extent necessary for the Special Servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Sub-Servicer shall be permitted under any Sub-Servicing Agreement to make material servicing decisions, such as loan modifications or determinations as to the manner or timing of enforcing remedies under the Mortgage Loan documents, without the consent of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.

In no event shall any expense arising from compliance with an Intercreditor Agreement constitute an expense to be borne by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for its own account without reimbursement. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be required to consult with or obtain the consent of any mezzanine lender unless such mezzanine lender has delivered notice of its identity and contact information to each of the parties to this Agreement (upon which notice each of the parties to this Agreement shall be conclusively entitled to rely).

The circumstances described in the preceding sentence are referred to in this Agreement as a “RAC No-Response Scenario”.

(c) (i) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Event, based on the Senior Trust Advisor’s review of any assessment of compliance report, attestation report, Asset Status Report and other information delivered to the Senior Trust Advisor by the Special Servicer, including each Asset Status Report delivered during the prior calendar year (other than any communications between the Directing Certificateholder and the Special Servicer that constitutes Privileged Information), the Senior Trust Advisor shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider within one hundred-twenty (120) days of the end of the prior calendar year for which a Control Event was continuing as of December 31, an annual report (the “Senior Trust Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit V (which form may be modified or altered as to either its organization or content by the Senior Trust Advisor, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitations, provisions herein relating to Privileged Information; provided, however, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the Senior Trust Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement), setting forth the Senior Trust Advisor’s assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties under this Agreement during the prior calendar year on a platform-level basis with respect to the resolution and liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.31(d) hereof, each such Senior Trust Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations (i) from the Servicing Standard and (ii) from the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions).

(ii) In the event the Senior Trust Advisor’s ability to perform its obligations in respect of the Senior Trust Advisor Annual Report is limited or prohibited due to the
-178-
failure of a party hereto to timely deliver information required to be delivered to the Senior Trust Advisor or because such information is inaccurate or incomplete, the Senior Trust Advisor shall set forth such limitations or prohibitions in the related Senior Trust Advisor Annual Report.
(d) Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, the Special Servicer will forward any Appraisal Reduction and net present value calculations used in the Special Servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the workout or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Senior Trust Advisor after such calculations have been finalized. The Senior Trust Advisor shall review such calculations but shall not take any affirmative action with respect to such Appraisal Reduction calculations and/or net present value calculations.
(e) (i) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Event, after the calculation but prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer of any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reductions or (ii) net present value in accordance with Section 1.02(iv), the Special Servicer shall forward such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional information necessary in support thereof (but not including any Privileged Communications), to the Senior Trust Advisor promptly, but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Senior Trust Advisor shall promptly, but no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional materials, recalculate and verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portion of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any such calculation.
(ii) In connection with this Section 3.31(e), in the event the Senior Trust Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation, the Senior Trust Advisor and Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. In the event the Senior Trust Advisor and Special Servicer are not able to resolve such inaccuracies or disagreement prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Senior Trust Advisor shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such disagreement and the Certificate Administrator shall determine which calculation is to apply.
(f) The Senior Trust Advisor and its affiliates shall keep all Privileged Information confidential and shall not disclose such information to any other person (including any Certificateholders which are not then included in the Control Eligible Certificates), other than any party hereto, to the extent expressly set forth herein, and the Senior Trust Advisor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer, disclose any Privileged Information to any other Person, except to the extent that (i) such Privileged Information becomes generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by such parties, (ii) it is reasonable and necessary for such parties to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies,
-179-
(iii) such Privileged Information was already known to such party and otherwise not subject to a confidentiality obligation or (iv) such disclosure is required pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree requiring the disclosure of such Privileged Information, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which shall be an expense of the Trust) delivered to the Master Servicer, Senior Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder and the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Senior Trust Advisor shall be permitted to share Privileged Information with its affiliates and any subcontractors of the Senior Trust Advisor that agree in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Senior Trust Advisor.
(g) Subject to the requirements of confidentiality imposed on the Senior Trust Advisor herein (including without limitation in respect of Privileged Information), the Senior Trust Advisor shall respond to Inquiries proposed by Privileged Persons from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 4.08(a).
(h) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Senior Trust Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Senior Trust Advisor Fee on each Distribution Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan (including Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans). As to each Mortgage Loan, and each REO Loan, the Senior Trust Advisor Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Senior Trust Advisor Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on the related Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed.
The Senior Trust Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Senior Trust Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Section 6.03(a) and/or 6.03(b) hereof, such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account as provided by Section 3.05(a). Each successor senior trust advisor shall be required to acknowledge and agree to the terms of the preceding sentence.
In addition, the Senior Trust Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the Senior Trust Advisor with respect to each Major Decision for which the Senior Trust Advisor has consultation obligations hereunder. The Senior Trust Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Certificate Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(ii) of this Agreement, but only to the extent such Senior Trust Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the related Mortgagor. When the Senior Trust Advisor has consultation obligations with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Senior Trust Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive or reduce the amount of any Senior Trust Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Mortgagor if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Senior Trust Advisor Consulting Fee
-180-
other than requests for collection; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Senior Trust Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction.
(i) After the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Senior Trust Advisor may be removed upon (i) the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Certificate Balance of all Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (taking into account the application of Appraisal Reductions to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of Classes to which such Appraisal Reductions are allocable) requesting a vote to replace the Senior Trust Advisor with a replacement Senior Trust Advisor selected by such Certificateholders (provided that the proposed replacement Senior Trust Advisor meets the criteria set forth in Section 3.31(k)), (ii) payment by such requesting Holders to the Certificate Administrator of all reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) receipt by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmations will be obtained by the Certificate Administrator at the expense of such Holders and will not constitute an additional Trust Fund expense). The Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.15(b), and by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon the vote or written direction of Holders of at least 75% of the aggregate Certificate Balance of all Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (taking into account the application of Appraisal Reductions to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of Classes to which such Appraisal Reductions are allocable), the Trustee shall immediately replace the Senior Trust Advisor with the replacement Senior Trust Advisor.
(j) In the event that the Senior Trust Advisor fails to duly observe or perform in any material respect any of its duties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement, then the Trustee may, and upon the written direction of Certificateholders representing at least 51% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reductions to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Classes of Certificates), the Trustee shall terminate the Senior Trust Advisor for cause. In the event (i) (A) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Senior Trust Advisor and such decree or order shall have remained in force, undischarged, undismissed or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days, (B) the Senior Trust Advisor shall consent to the appointment of a conservator, receiver, liquidator, trustee or similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Senior Trust Advisor or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property, or (C) the Senior Trust Advisor shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations or take any corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing, or (ii) the Senior Trust Advisor acknowledges in writing that such party’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and provides an Opinion of Counsel to such effect to the Trustee, then the
-181-
Trustee shall terminate the Senior Trust Advisor for cause. Upon the termination of the Senior Trust Advisor, a replacement Senior Trust Advisor satisfying the conditions for such replacement in Section 3.31(k) below shall be selected by the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator may rely on a certification by the replacement Senior Trust Advisor that it meets such criteria. If the Certificate Administrator is unable to find a replacement Senior Trust Advisor within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Senior Trust Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. Unless and until a replacement Senior Trust Advisor is appointed, no party shall act as the Senior Trust Advisor and the provisions relating to consultation and consent with respect to the Senior Trust Advisor shall not be applicable until a replacement Senior Trust Advisor is appointed hereunder.
(k) Any replacement Senior Trust Advisor shall (or all of the personnel responsible for supervising the obligations of the Senior Trust Advisor shall) meet either of the following criteria: (A) (i) be regularly engaged in the business of analyzing and advising clients in commercial mortgage-backed securities matters and have at least five (5) years of experience in collateral analysis and loss projections, and (ii) have at least five (5) years of experience in commercial real estate asset management and experience in the workout and management of distressed commercial real estate assets, or (B) be an institution that is a special servicer or operating advisor on a commercial mortgage-backed securities transaction rated by S&P, Fitch, Moody’s, Morningstar Credit Ratings, LLC, KBRA or DBRS (including, in the case of Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, this transaction) but has not been special servicer on a transaction for which any Rating Agency has qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of, one or more classes of certificates for such transaction citing servicing concerns with the special servicer as the sole or a material factor in such rating action.
(l) Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, the Directing Certificateholder shall have the right to consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to the identity of any replacement Senior Trust Advisor appointed pursuant to this Section 3.31.
(m) In the event there are no Classes of Certificates outstanding other than the Control Eligible Certificates and the Class R Certificates, the holders of a majority of the senior-most Class of Control Eligible Certificates outstanding may elect to terminate the Senior Trust Advisor without payment of any penalty or termination fee.
(n) The Senior Trust Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it (a) upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Certificateholder, if applicable, and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor senior trust advisor meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 3.31(k) and receipt by the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. No such resignation by the Senior Trust Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Senior Trust Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Senior Trust Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations. The resigning Senior Trust Advisor shall pay all costs and expenses (including costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 3.31.
-182-
(o) In the event the Senior Trust Advisor resigns or is otherwise terminated for any reason it shall remain entitled to any accrued and unpaid Senior Trust Advisor Fees and reimbursement of accrued and unpaid Senior Trust Advisor Expenses pursuant to Section 3.31(h) and shall also remain entitled to any rights of indemnification provided hereunder.
(p) The parties hereto agree, and the Certificateholders by their acceptance of their Certificates shall be deemed to have agreed, that (i) subject to Section 6.03, the Senior Trust Advisor shall have no liability to any Certificateholder for any actions taken or for refraining from taking any actions under this Agreement, (ii) the Senior Trust Advisor shall act solely as a contracting party to the extent set forth in this Agreement, (iii) the Senior Trust Advisor shall have no (A) fiduciary duty, or (B) other duty except with respect to its specific obligations under this Agreement, and shall have no duty to any particular class of Certificates or particular Certificateholders, and (iv) the Senior Trust Advisor does not constitute an investment adviser within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(q) The Senior Trust Advisor shall not make any investment in any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker-dealer Affiliate of the Senior Trust Advisor or (ii) investments by an Affiliate of the Senior Trust Advisor if the Senior Trust Advisor and such Affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Senior Trust Advisor under this Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such Affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the Trust Fund and the Senior Trust Advisor and its personnel from gaining access to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

On each Distribution Date, each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of interest in an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount in respect of its Related Certificates
-188-

As of any date, the principal balance of each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest shall equal the Certificate Balance of the Related Certificates with respect thereto (without regard to any exchange and conversion of the Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates), as adjusted for the allocation of Collateral Support Deficits, as provided in Sections 4.04(b) and 4.04(c), of Certificate Deferred Interest as provided in Section 4.06.

Any amount that remains in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on each Distribution Date after distribution of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and distribution of Yield Maintenance Charges pursuant to Section 4.01(f)(iii) shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest (but only to the extent of the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, if any).
(e) On and after the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Balances of the Subordinate Certificates have all been reduced to zero (and, if any exchange for the Class EC Certificates has occurred, the Class EC Certificates), any amounts representing reimbursements of Collateral Support Deficits previously allocated to such Classes, if available, will be distributed to the Senior Certificates pro rata based on their respective Certificate Balances.
(f) (i) On each Distribution Date, Yield Maintenance Charges payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans calculated by reference to a U.S. treasury rate collected during the related Due Period will be distributed by the Certificate Administrator to the Holders of each Class of Regular Certificates (excluding the Class F, Class G and Class NR Certificates) in the following manner: (1) pro rata, between (x) the Certificates in YM Group A, and (y) the Certificates in YM Group B, based upon the aggregate of principal distributed to the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (or, in the case of an exchange and conversion of portions of Exchangeable Certificates, amounts which would otherwise have been distributable to such Exchangeable Certificates had they not been exchanged and converted, to such Class EC Certificates) in each such YM Group on such Distribution Date (without giving effect to any
-189-
exchange and conversion of Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates for Class EC Certificates), and (2) as among the Classes of Certificates in each YM Group, in the following manner: (A) the Holders of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates in such YM Group will be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date an amount of Yield Maintenance Charges payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans equal to the sum, for all Mortgage Loan prepayments, of the product of (a) a fraction whose numerator is the amount of principal distributed to such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (or, in the case of the exchange and conversion of portions of Exchangeable Certificates, amounts which would otherwise have been distributable to such exchanged Exchangeable Certificates had they not been exchanged and converted, to such Class EC Certificates) and whose denominator is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Regular Certificates (or, in the case of the exchange and conversion of portions of Exchangeable Certificates, amounts which would otherwise have been distributable to such exchanged Exchangeable Certificates had they not been exchanged and converted, to such Class EC Certificates) in that YM Group representing principal payments in respect of the Mortgage Loans on such Distribution Date, (b) the Base Interest Fraction for the related Principal Prepayment and such Class of Regular Certificates, and (c) the Yield Maintenance Charges payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans collected during the related Due Period and allocated to such YM Group (in each case, without giving effect to any exchange and conversion of the Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates), and (B) any Yield Maintenance Charges payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans allocated to such YM Group collected during the related Due Period remaining after such distributions will be distributed to the Class of Class X Certificates in such YM Group. If there is more than one such Class of Certificates entitled to distributions of principal on any particular Distribution Date on which Yield Maintenance Charges payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans are distributable, the aggregate amount of such Yield Maintenance Charges payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans will be allocated among all such Classes of Certificates up to, and on a pro rata basis in accordance with, their respective entitlements thereto in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph.
(ii) No Yield Maintenance Charge will be distributed to the Holders of the Class F Certificates, Class G Certificates, Class NR Certificates or Class R Certificates. After the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-SB Certificates, Class A-S Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class C Certificates, Class D Certificates and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero (without regard to any exchange and conversion of Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates), all Yield Maintenance Charges with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class X-B Certificates.
(iii) All distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges made in respect of the respective Classes of Regular Certificates (including any portion passed through to the related component of Class EC Certificates) on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(f)(i) shall first be deemed to be distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests, pro rata based upon the amount of principal distributed in respect of each such Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(d) above.
-190-
(g) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw amounts from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and shall distribute such amounts to reimburse the Holders of the Regular Certificates (in order of distribution priority) (first deeming such amounts to be distributed with respect to the Related Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests) up to an amount equal to all Collateral Support Deficits, if any, previously deemed allocated to them and unreimbursed after application of the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date. Amounts paid from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account will not reduce the Certificate Balances of the Classes of Certificates receiving such distributions. Any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account after such distributions shall be applied to offset future Collateral Support Deficits with respect to the Principal Balance Certificates and related Collateral Support Deficits in each case allocable to the Regular Certificates and, upon termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Class R Certificateholders from the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of the Class LR Interest. Amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.01(g) to the Exchangeable Certificates that have been exchanged and converted to Class EC Certificates shall be paid to the holders of such Class EC Certificates.
(h) All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Sections 4.01(i), 4.01(j) and 9.01, all such distributions with respect to each Class on each Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders of the respective Class of record at the close of business on the related Record Date and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Collateral Support Deficit previously allocated to such Certificate) will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a ”brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Underwriters shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable law.
(i) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates
-191-
(determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any amount of Collateral Support Deficit previously allocated to such Class of Certificates) will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the related P&I Advance Determination Date, post on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.15(b) a notice in electronic format to the effect that:
(i) the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location therein specified; and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after such Distribution Date.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(i) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(i).
(j) Distributions in reimbursement of Collateral Support Deficit previously allocated to any Certificates shall be made in the amounts and manner specified in Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(g), as applicable, to the Holders of the respective Class otherwise entitled to distributions of interest and principal on such Class on the relevant Distribution Date; provided that all distributions in reimbursement of Collateral Support Deficit previously allocated to a Class of Certificates which has since been retired shall be to the prior Holders that surrendered the Certificates of such Class upon retirement thereof and shall be made by check mailed to the address of each such prior Holder last shown in the Certificate Register. Notice of any such distribution to a prior Holder shall be made in accordance with Section 12.05 at such last address. The amount of the distribution to each such prior Holder shall be based upon the aggregate Percentage Interest evidenced by the Certificates surrendered thereby. If the check mailed to any such prior Holder is returned uncashed, then the amount thereof shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of such prior Holder, and the Certificate Administrator shall attempt to contact such prior Holder in the manner contemplated by Section 4.01(i) as if such Holder had failed to surrender its Certificates.
-192-
(k) On each Distribution Date, any Excess Interest received during the related Due Period with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed solely to the Holders of the Class NR Certificates from the Excess Interest Distribution Account. Excess Interest will not be available to pay any other amounts except for distributions on Class NR Certificates set forth in the prior sentence.
(l) If an exchange and conversion of Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates in accordance with Section 5.09 of this Agreement has occurred, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Holders of the Class EC Certificates received in such exchange and conversion from the Class EC Distribution Account on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 3.05(e) distributions equal to the aggregate amount of Interest Distribution Amounts, Principal Distribution Amounts, Yield Maintenance Charges, reimbursements of Collateral Support Deficits and other amounts that would otherwise be distributable to the Exchangeable Certificates that were exchanged and converted for such Class EC Certificates. Such amounts shall first be deemed distributed from the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to the Class EC Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.05(d). In addition, the Class EC Certificates received in such exchange and conversion will be allocated the aggregate amount of Collateral Support Deficits, Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and other interest shortfalls (including those resulting from Appraisal Reduction Events) that would otherwise be allocated to the Exchangeable Certificates that were exchanged and converted for such Class EC Certificates.
Section 4.02 Statements to Certificateholders; CREFC Investor Reporting Packages; Grant of Power of Attorney.

-196-
Certificate Owner reasonably requests, to enable Certificateholders to prepare their tax returns for such calendar year. Such obligation of the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time are in force.
(b) [Reserved.]
(c) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may, at its sole cost and expense, make available by electronic media, bulletin board service or Internet website (in addition to making information available as provided herein) any reports or other information the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is required or permitted to provide to any party to this Agreement, the Rating Agencies or any Certificateholder or any prospective Certificateholder that has provided the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with an Investor Certification or has executed a “click-through” confidentiality agreement in accordance with Section 3.15 hereof (which may be a licensed or registered investment advisor) to the extent such action does not conflict with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation, any requirements to keep Privileged Information confidential), the terms of the Mortgage Loans or applicable law. Notwithstanding this paragraph, the availability of such information or reports on the Internet or similar electronic media shall not be deemed to satisfy any specific delivery requirements in this Agreement except as set forth herein. In connection with providing access to the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s Internet website, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall take reasonable measures to ensure that only such parties listed above may access such information including, without limitation, requiring registration, a confidentiality agreement and acceptance of a disclaimer. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be liable for dissemination of this information in accordance with this Agreement, and neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any information delivered, produced, or made available pursuant to Sections 3.15 and 4.02(c), other than information produced by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that such information otherwise meets the requirements set forth herein with respect to the form and substance of such information or reports. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to attach to any report provided pursuant to this subsection, any reasonable disclaimer with respect to information provided, or any assumptions required to be made by such report.
The Special Servicer shall from time to time (and, in any event, as may be reasonably required by the Master Servicer) provide the Master Servicer with such information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as may be necessary for the Master Servicer to prepare each report and any supplemental information to be provided by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Depositor shall have any obligation to recompute, verify or recalculate the information provided thereto by the Master Servicer. Unless the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that any report or file received from the Master Servicer contains erroneous information, the Certificate Administrator is authorized to rely thereon in calculating and making distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with Section 4.01, preparing the statements to Certificateholders required by Section 4.02(a) and allocating Collateral Support Deficit to the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.04.
-197-
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed pursuant to this Section 4.02(c) or Section 4.02(d) shall not constitute a breach of this Section 4.02(c) or of Section 4.02(d) to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).
(d) As soon as reasonably practicable, upon the written request of and at the expense of any Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator shall provide the requesting Certificateholder with such information that is in the Certificate Administrator’s possession or can reasonably be obtained by the Certificate Administrator as is requested by such Certificateholder, for purposes of satisfying applicable reporting requirements under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Neither the Certificate Registrar, nor the Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility for the sufficiency under Rule 144A or any other securities laws of any available information so furnished to any person including any prospective purchaser of a Certificate or any interest therein, nor for the content or accuracy of any information so furnished which was prepared or delivered to them by another.
(e) The information to which any Certificateholder is entitled is limited to the information gathered and provided to the Certificateholder by the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement and by acceptance of any Certificate, each Certificateholder agrees that except as specifically provided herein, no Certificateholder shall contact any Mortgagor directly with respect to any Mortgage Loan.
Section 4.03 P&I Advances. (a) On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on each P&I Advance Date, the Master Servicer shall either (i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account from its own funds an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date, (ii) apply amounts held in the Certificate Account, for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make P&I Advances or (iii) make P&I Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made. Any amounts held in the Certificate Account for future distribution and so used to make P&I Advances shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account on or before the next succeeding P&I Advance Date (to the extent not previously replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advances were made). The Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator of (i) the aggregate amount of P&I Advances for a Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances for such Distribution Date, on or before two (2) Business Days prior to such Distribution Date. If the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any P&I Advance Date, the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section 7.05 by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date, unless the Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and
-198-
provided written notice of such cure to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Distribution Date. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee of such circumstances by 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the related P&I Advance Date.
(b) Subject to Section 4.03(c) and Section 4.03(e) below, the amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date and each Mortgage Loan shall be equal to: (i) the Monthly Payments (net of related Servicing Fees) other than Balloon Payments, that were due during the related Due Period and delinquent as of the close of business on the Business Day preceding the related P&I Advance Date (or not advanced by any Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer) and (ii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which the related Balloon Payment was due during or prior to the related Due Period and was delinquent as of the end of the related Due Period (including any REO Loan as to which the Balloon Payment would have been past due), an amount equal to the Assumed Scheduled Payment therefor. Subject to subsection (c) below, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory, and with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, shall continue until the Distribution Date on which the proceeds, if any, received in connection with a Liquidation Event or the disposition of the REO Property, as the case may be, with respect thereto are to be distributed.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have the sole discretion provided in this Agreement to determine that any future P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance.
(d) In connection with the recovery of any P&I Advance out of the Certificate Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to pay the Trustee and itself (in that order of priority) as the case may be out of any amounts then on deposit in the Certificate Account, interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such P&I Advance from the date made to but not including the date of reimbursement; provided, however, that no interest will accrue on any P&I Advance (i) made with respect to a Mortgage Loan until after the related Due Date has passed and any applicable grace period has expired or (ii) if the related Monthly Payment is received after the Determination Date but on or prior to the related P&I Advance Date. The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself and/or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding P&I Advance, subject to Section 3.19 of this Agreement, as soon as practicably possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Certificate Account.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make an advance for Excess Interest, Yield Maintenance Charges, Default Interest, late payment charges, prepayment premiums or Balloon Payment and (ii) if an Appraisal Reduction has been made with respect to any Mortgage Loan then in the event of subsequent delinquencies thereon, the interest portion of the P&I Advance in respect of such Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date shall be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the principal portion of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (x) the
-199-
amount of the interest portion of such P&I Advance for such Mortgage Loan for such Distribution Date without regard to this clause (ii), and (y) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction, if any, and the denominator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Monthly Payment due on the Maturity Date for a Balloon Mortgage Loan will be the Assumed Scheduled Payment for the related Distribution Date.
Section 4.04 Allocation of Collateral Support Deficit. (a) On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01 and the allocation of Certificate Deferred Interest pursuant to Section 4.06, the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the amount, if any, by which (i) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (for purposes of this calculation only, not giving effect to any reductions of the Stated Principal Balance for payments of principal collected on the Mortgage Loans that were used to reimburse any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) to the extent such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts are not otherwise determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans expected to be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date, is less than (ii) the then aggregate Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates (for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to any exchange and conversion of the Exchangeable Certificates to Class EC Certificates) after giving effect to distributions of principal on such Distribution Date and the allocation of Certificate Deferred Interest pursuant to Section 4.06 (any such deficit, the “Collateral Support Deficit”). Any allocation of Collateral Support Deficit to a Class of Regular Certificates shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. Any Collateral Support Deficit allocated pursuant to the preceding two sentences to a Class of Regular Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby. The allocation of Collateral Support Deficit shall constitute an allocation of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust Fund. Reimbursement of previously allocated Collateral Support Deficit will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Class of Certificates in respect of which any such reimbursement is made. With respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates, to the extent any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans and previously resulted in a reduction of the Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the Class or Classes of Principal Balance Certificates that previously were allocated Collateral Support Deficit, in sequential order, in each case up to the amount of the unreimbursed Collateral Support Deficit allocated to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates.
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off to the extent of any Collateral Support Deficit, if any, allocable to such Certificates with respect to such Distribution Date. Any such write off shall be allocated first, to the Class NR Certificates, second, to the Class G Certificates, third, to the Class F Certificates, fourth, to the Class E Certificates, fifth, to the Class D Certificates, sixth, to the Class C Certificates, without regard to the exchange and

conversion of the Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates, seventh, to the Class B Certificates, without regard to the exchange and conversion of the Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates, eighth, to the Class A-S Certificates, without regard to the exchange and conversion of the Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates, and then, pro rata (based on their respective Certificate Balances), to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3 and Class A-SB Certificates, in each case until the remaining Certificate Balances of such Classes of Certificates have been reduced to zero.
(c) With respect to any Distribution Date, any Collateral Support Deficit allocated to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates, pursuant to Section 4.04(a) or Section 4.04(b), respectively, with respect to such Distribution Date shall reduce the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Related Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest with respect thereto as a write-off.
(d) With respect to each Class of Exchangeable Certificates and the Class EC Certificates, for purposes of determining allocations and distributions under Section 4.01(a) of this Agreement as between the Exchangeable Certificates and the Class EC Certificates and this Section 4.04, all allocations of Collateral Support Deficit to each Class of Exchangeable Certificates for any Distribution Date shall be determined without regard to any exchange of such Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates; provided, however, that all amounts of Collateral Support Deficit that would otherwise be allocable to Exchangeable Certificates that have been exchanged for Class EC Certificates shall be allocated to such Class EC Certificates, without duplication.
Section 4.05 Appraisal Reductions.
(a) For purposes of (x) determining the Controlling Class (and whether a Control Event has occurred and is continuing) and (y) determining the Voting Rights of the related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or the Senior Trust Advisor, Appraisal Reductions will be allocated to each Class of Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class R Certificates) in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances (without giving effect to any exchange of the Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates) until the Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class NR Certificates, second, to the Class G Certificates, third, to the Class F Certificates, fourth, to the Class E Certificates, fifth, to the Class D Certificates, sixth, to the Class C Certificates, without giving effect to any exchange of the Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates, seventh, to the Class B Certificates, without giving effect to any exchange of the Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates, and eighth, to the Class A-S Certificates, without giving effect to any exchange of the Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates. The Special Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction with respect to each Mortgage Loan. Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator shall determine from time to time which Class of Certificates is the Controlling Class. Promptly upon its determination of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and the Senior Trust Advisor of such event, including the identity and contact information of the new Controlling Class Certificateholder (the cost of obtaining such information from DTC being an expense of the Trust). The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Senior Trust Advisor
-201-
within ten (10) Business Days of the existence or cessation of (i) any Control Event and (ii) any Consultation Termination Event.
(b) (i) The Holders of the majority of Voting Rights of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is determined at any time of determination to no longer be the Controlling Class (such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) as a result of an Appraisal Reduction in respect of such Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order a second Appraisal with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such second Appraisal is delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and shall ensure that such Appraisal is prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser (provided that such MAI appraiser may not be the same MAI appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal).
(ii) Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such supplemental Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction is warranted, and if so warranted shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction based on such supplemental appraisal. If required by such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each other Appraised-Out Class shall, if applicable, have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction. The Holders of an Appraised-Out Class requesting any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above shall refrain from exercising any direction, control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as the Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class (such period beginning upon receipt by the Special Servicer of any request to obtain a supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above to but excluding the date on which the Special Servicer shall either (A) determine that no recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction is warranted or (B) recalculate the Appraisal Reduction based on the supplemental Appraisal, the “Appraisal Review Period”). The rights of the Controlling Class during each Appraisal Review Period shall be exercised by the most senior Control Eligible Certificates, if any.
(c) With respect to each Mortgage Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction has occurred (unless such Mortgage Loan has become a Corrected Mortgage Loan (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan)), the Special Servicer shall (1) within thirty (30) days of each anniversary of the related Appraisal Reduction Event, and (2) upon its determination by the Special Servicer that the value of the related Mortgaged Property has materially changed, order an Appraisal (which may be an update of a prior Appraisal), the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance and to the extent it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, a Trust expense, or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable and, promptly following receipt of any such Appraisal or performance of such valuation (or receipt of any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above), shall deliver a copy thereof to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and, prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder. Based upon such Appraisal or internal valuation (or any
-202-
Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above) and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction, the Special Servicer shall determine or redetermine, as applicable, and report to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and, prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, the amount and calculation or recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer is required to redetermine the Appraisal Reduction, such redetermined Appraisal Reduction shall replace the prior Appraisal Reduction with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder with respect to the calculation of an Appraisal Reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 4.05(b), the Special Servicer will not be required to obtain an Appraisal or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable, with respect to a Mortgage Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred to the extent the Special Servicer has obtained an Appraisal or conducted such a valuation (in accordance with requirements of this Agreement), as applicable, with respect to the related Mortgaged Property within the twelve-month period immediately prior to the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event. Instead, the Special Servicer may use such prior Appraisal or valuation, as applicable, in calculating any Appraisal Reduction with respect to such Mortgage Loan; provided that the Special Servicer is not aware of any material change to the related Mortgaged Property having occurred and affecting the validity of such Appraisal or valuation, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall provide (via electronic delivery) the Special Servicer with information in its possession that is reasonably required to calculate or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction pursuant to the definition thereof, using reasonable efforts to deliver such information within four (4) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s written request (which request shall be made promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, after the Special Servicer’s receipt of the applicable Appraisal or preparation of the applicable internal valuation); provided, however, the Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such a request shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its obligation to provide such information to the Special Servicer in the manner and timing set forth in this sentence. The Master Servicer shall not calculate Appraisal Reductions.
(d) Any Mortgage Loan previously subject to an Appraisal Reduction, which has become a Corrected Mortgage Loan (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan), and with respect to which no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and is continuing, will no longer be subject to an Appraisal Reduction.
Section 4.06 Certificate Deferred Interest. (a) On each Distribution Date, the amount of interest distributable to a Class of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of Mortgage Deferred Interest for all Mortgage Loans for the Due Dates occurring in the related Due Period allocated to such Class of Certificates such Mortgage Deferred Interest to be allocated first, to the Class NR Certificates, second, to the Class G Certificates, third, to the Class F Certificates, fourth, to the Class E Certificates, fifth, to the Class D Certificates, sixth, to the Class C Certificates (without giving effect to any exchange of the Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates), seventh, to the Class B Certificates (without giving effect to any exchange of the Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates), eighth, to the Class A-S Certificates (without giving effect to any exchange of the Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates), and then pro rata (based upon Accrued Certificate Interest) to the Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-3 and
-203-
Class A-SB Certificates, in each case up to the respective Accrued Certificate Interest for each such Class of Certificates for such Distribution Date.
(b) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-SB Certificates, Class A-S Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class C Certificates, Class D Certificates, Class E Certificates, Class F Certificates, Class G Certificates and Class NR Certificates (without giving effect to any exchange of the Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates) shall be increased by the amount of the Certificate Deferred Interest allocated to such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.06(a) above.
(c) With respect to any Distribution Date, any Certificate Deferred Interest with respect to such Distribution Date allocated pursuant to Section 4.06(a) to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates shall be allocated in reduction of the amount of interest distributable to the Related Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests with respect thereto. On each Distribution Date, to the extent provided in Section 4.06(b) with respect to the Related Certificates, Certificate Deferred Interest will be added to the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests in the same manner as the interest thereon was reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence.
(d) With respect to each Class of Exchangeable Certificates and the Class EC Certificates, for purposes of determining allocations and distributions under Section 4.06(a) of this Agreement as between the Exchangeable Certificates and the Class EC Certificates, all amounts of Certificate Deferred Interest of each Class of Exchangeable Certificates for any Distribution Date shall be determined without regard to any exchange of such Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates; provided, however, that all amounts of Certificate Deferred Interest that would otherwise be allocable to Exchangeable Certificates that have been exchanged and converted for Class EC Certificates shall be deemed allocated to such Class EC Certificates, without duplication.
Section 4.07 Grantor Trust Reporting. (a) The parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund constituting the Grantor Trust, which consists of (i) the Excess Interest, the Excess Interest Account and proceeds thereof, and (ii) the uncertificated regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC represented by any Exchangeable Certificates that have been exchanged and converted for Class EC Certificates, the Class EC Distribution Account and proceeds thereof, shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Trust Fund (exclusive of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC) shall be conducted so as to qualify such portion as, a “grantor trust” under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have the power to vary the investment of the Class EC and Class NR Certificateholders in the Grantor Trust so as to improve their rate of return. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, submit to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute and timely return to the Certificate Administrator) and timely file all Tax Returns in respect of the Grantor Trust. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall (A) file, or cause to be filed, Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (or, in the event the Grantor Trust is a WHFIT, information will be provided on Form 1099) or such other form as may be applicable with the Internal Revenue Service with copies of the
-204-
statements in the following clause and (B) furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Class EC and Class NR Certificateholders, their allocable share of income and expense with respect to the Exchangeable Certificates and the Class EC Distribution Account, and the Excess Interest and Excess Interest Distribution Account, respectively, in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.
(b) The Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT. The Certificate Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that DTC is the only “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator with the identities of other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the event that the Internal Revenue Service makes a determination that the first sentence of this paragraph is incorrect.
(c) The Certificate Administrator shall report required WHFIT information using the accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Certificate Administrator shall make available (via its website) WHFIT information to Certificateholders annually. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.
(d) The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being provided to the Certificate Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Certificate Administrator. Each holder of Class NR or Class EC Certificates, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Certificate Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of information regarding any sale of Class NR or Class EC Certificates, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale from the beneficial owner thereof or the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator shall assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.
(e) To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIP for the Class NR Certificates. The CUSIP so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent such CUSIP has been received. Absent the receipt of such CUSIP, the Certificate Administrator will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.

(b) The Certificate Administrator shall make available to any Certificateholder and any Certificate Owner, the Investor Registry. The “Investor Registry” shall be a voluntary service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where Certificateholders and Certificate Owners can register and thereafter obtain information with respect to any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner that has so registered.

Such Person shall then be asked to enter certain mandatory fields such as the individual’s name, the company name and email address, as well as certain optional fields such as address, phone, and Class(es) of Certificates owned. If any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner notifies the Certificate Administrator that it wishes to be removed from the Investor Registry (which notice may not be within forty-five (45) days of its registration), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly remove it from the Investor Registry.

Following receipt of a Rating Agency Inquiry from the 17g-5 Information Provider, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, unless it determines not to answer such Rating Agency Inquiry as provided below, shall reply by email to the Certificate Administrator.

Section 5.01 The Certificates. (a) The Certificates will be substantially in the respective forms annexed hereto as Exhibits A-1 through and including A-15, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement or as may, in the reasonable judgment of the Certificate Registrar, be necessary, appropriate or convenient to comply, or facilitate compliance, with applicable laws, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required by law, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution thereof. The Class X-A and Class X-B Certificates will be issuable only in minimum Denominations of authorized initial Notional Amount of not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. The Offered Certificates (other than the Class X-A Certificates) will be issuable only in minimum Denominations of authorized initial Certificate Balance of not less than $10,000, and in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. The Non-Registered Certificates (other than the Class X-B and Class R Certificates) will be issuable in minimum Denominations of authorized initial Certificate Balance of not less than $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. If the Original Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of any Class does not equal an integral multiple of $1.00, then a single additional Certificate of such Class may be issued in a minimum denomination of authorized initial Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, that includes the excess of (i) the Original Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of such Class over (ii) the largest integral multiple of $1.00 that does not exceed such amount. The Class R Certificates shall be issued, maintained and transferred in minimum percentage interests of 10% of such Class R Certificates and in integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.
(b) One authorized signatory shall sign the Certificates for the Certificate Registrar by manual or facsimile signature. If an authorized signatory whose signature is on a Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Certificate Registrar countersigns the Certificate, the Certificate shall be valid nevertheless. A Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Certificate Registrar (who may be the same officer who executed the Certificate) manually countersigns the Certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Certificate has been executed and countersigned under this Agreement.
Section 5.02 Form and Registration. No transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. If a transfer (other than one by the Depositor to an Affiliate thereof or by the Initial Purchaser to BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., one of its managed funds, or Affiliates of BlackRock Financial Management, Inc.) is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, and under the applicable state securities laws, then either:
(a) Each Class of the Non-Registered Certificates sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Act shall initially be represented by a temporary book-entry
-209-
certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each a “Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate”), which shall be deposited on the Closing Date on behalf of the purchasers of the Non-Registered Certificates represented thereby with the Certificate Registrar, at its principal trust office, as custodian, for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for the account of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream. Prior to the expiration of the 40-day period commencing on the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), beneficial interests in each Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may be exchanged for an interest in the related Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.03(f). During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or a Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.
On the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, and the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificates, which shall be held by the Certificate Registrar for purposes of effecting the exchanges contemplated by the preceding paragraph. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby initially appointed the Authenticating Agent with the power to act, on the Trustee’s behalf, in the authentication and delivery of the Certificates in connection with transfers and exchanges as herein provided. If Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association is removed as Certificate Administrator, then Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association shall be terminated as Authenticating Agent. If the Authenticating Agent is terminated, the Trustee shall appoint a successor authenticating agent, which may be the Trustee or an Affiliate thereof.
(b) Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Act (“Rule 144A”) shall be represented by Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificates, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.
(c) Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates that are initially offered and sold to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified
-210-
Institutional Buyers (the “Non-Book Entry Certificates”) shall be in the form of Definitive Certificates, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, and shall be registered in the name of such investors or their nominees by the Certificate Registrar who shall deliver the certificates for such Non-Book Entry Certificates to the respective beneficial owners or owners. For the avoidance of doubt, the Class R Certificates shall only be in the form of Definitive Certificates.

-215-
(k) If Non-Registered Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates bearing a restrictive legend relating to compliance with the Act, or if a request is made to remove such legend on Certificates, the Non-Registered Certificates so issued shall bear the restrictive legend, or such legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel that neither such legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Act or, with respect to Non-Book Entry Certificates, that such Certificates are not “restricted” within the meaning of Rule 144.

Each prospective transferee of a Class R Certificate shall deliver to the transferor and the Certificate Administrator a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2, stating that the prospective transferee is not a Plan or a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of a Plan.

(i) Each Person acquiring or holding any Residual Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such Residual Ownership Interest as agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) on behalf of any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee. Any such Person shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status (or the status of the beneficial owner of such Residual Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition described in the first sentence of this Section 5.03(n) by a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or by a Person who is acting as an agent of a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee shall be void ab initio and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Residual Ownership Interest as soon and as fully as possible.
(ii) No Residual Ownership Interest may be Transferred, and no such Transfer shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the Transfer, and such proposed Transfer shall not be effective, without such consent with respect thereto.

transferor, an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (1) the proposed transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (2) the proposed transferee understands that, as the holder of a Residual Ownership Interest, it may incur liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (3) the proposed transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual Ownership Interest as they become due, (4) the proposed transferee will not cause income with respect to the Residual Ownership Interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of such proposed transferee or any other U.S. Tax Person, (5) the proposed transferee will not transfer the Residual Ownership Interest to any Person that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit or as to which the proposed transferee has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, and (6) the proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section 5.03(n) and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of a Class R Certificate, require a statement from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-2 (the “Transferor Letter”), that the proposed transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed transferee’s statements in the preceding clauses (x)(B)(1) or (3) are false.
(iii) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a proposed transferee under clause (ii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer to such proposed transferee shall be effected and such proposed Transfer shall not be registered on the Certificate Register; provided, however, the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation to determine whether a proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee. Upon notice to the Certificate Registrar that there has occurred a Transfer to any Person that is a Disqualified Organization or an agent thereof (including a broker, nominee or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, and in any event not later than sixty (60) days after a request for information from the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent, the Certificate Registrar agrees to furnish to the Internal Revenue Service and the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent such information necessary to the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required by the Code, including, but not limited to, the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class R Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such Transfer. At the election of the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, however, that such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.
(o) The Class R Certificates may only be transferred to and owned by Qualified Institutional Buyers.
-218-
(p) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Certificate Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. If the Certificate Administrator does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Certificate Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholders.

In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.04, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith.

(a) Holders of Exchangeable Certificates may surrender their Certificates to the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Administrator shall convert those Exchangeable Certificates for a like amount of Class EC Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.09 and the other applicable provisions of Article V hereof. Similarly, holders of the Class EC Certificates may surrender their Certificates to the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Administrator shall exchange and convert those Certificates for a like amount of the related Classes of Exchangeable Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.09 and the other applicable provisions of Article V hereof.
Exchangeable Certificates in the Exchange Proportion may be exchanged and converted for Class EC Certificates and Class EC Certificates may be exchanged and converted for all three Classes of Exchangeable Certificates in the Exchange Proportion, in whole or in part. This process may occur repeatedly. In the event that the Certificate Balance of any Class of Exchangeable Certificates is reduced to zero as a result of such Class being paid all interest and principal in full, exchanges and conversions shall no longer be permissible. With respect to any exchange and conversion, all three Classes of Exchangeable Certificates will be required in order to exchange and convert such Exchangeable Certificates to Class EC Certificates and Class EC Certificates can be exchanged and converted to all three Classes of Exchangeable
-221-
Certificates, such exchange and conversion being calculated, using the initial Certificate Balances of the individual Certificates being exchanged and converted (rather than the outstanding Certificate Balance), in each case, in the applicable Exchange Proportion. The aggregate Certificate Balance of the Certificates (with each Class rounded to the nearest whole dollar) received after an exchange and conversion, immediately after the exchange and conversion, must equal the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Certificates (with each Class rounded to the nearest whole dollar) surrendered for exchange and conversion immediately prior to such exchange and conversion. Each Class of Exchangeable Certificates exchanged and converted or received in any exchange and conversion must be at least its minimum Denomination set forth in Section 5.01.
Class EC Certificates will only receive distributions of interest and principal that are allocated to the Exchangeable Certificates exchanged for and converted to such Class EC Certificates. Any Collateral Support Deficits or other shortfalls, including as a result of Appraisal Reduction Events, allocated to Exchangeable Certificates that were exchanged for and converted to Class EC Certificates will be borne by such Class EC Certificates.
Exchangeable Certificates that have been exchanged for and converted to Class EC Certificates shall be deemed to be held by the Trustee in uncertificated form and, for tax purposes, as assets of the Grantor Trust, and shall be deemed to be outstanding for all purposes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Exchangeable Certificates shall be exchangeable on the books of the Depository for Class EC Certificates, and Class EC Certificates shall be exchangeable on the books of the Depository for Exchangeable Certificates, after the Closing Date (other than any exchanges on the Closing Date pursuant to instructions from the Depositor); provided, however, that if Exchangeable Certificates or Class EC Certificates are Definitive Certificates, Exchangeable Certificates that have been exchanged and converted for Class EC Certificates shall be cancelled, but shall be deemed to be outstanding for all purposes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall be held in uncertificated form by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee as assets of the Grantor Trust. In order to effect an exchange of the Exchangeable Certificates or Class EC Certificates, the Certificateholder shall notify the Certificate Administrator by e-mail at the email address on the Certificate Administrator’s website no later than three (3) Business Days before the proposed date for the exchange and conversion (the “Exchange Date”). The Exchange Date can be any Business Day other than the first or last Business Day of the month, subject to the satisfaction of the Certificate Administrator; provided that no exchanges under this Section 5.09 shall occur with respect to a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate prior to the Exchange Date.
(c) With respect to the notice required in clause (b) above, the Certificateholder shall provide notice on the Certificateholder’s letterhead, which notice must carry a medallion stamp guarantee and set forth the following information: (i) the CUSIP Number of the Exchangeable Certificates or Class EC Certificate to be exchanged and Exchangeable Certificate or the Class EC Certificates to be received, (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the initial Certificate Balance of the Exchangeable Certificates or the Class EC Certificates to be exchanged, (iii) the Certificateholder’s Depository participant number, if applicable, and (iv) the proposed Exchange Date. After receiving the notice, the
-222-
Certificate Administrator shall e-mail the Certificateholder (at such address specified in writing by such Certificateholder) with wire payment instructions relating to the exchange fee. The Certificateholder will utilize the “deposit and withdrawal system” at the Depository to affect the exchange and conversion of the Certificates. A notice becomes irrevocable on the second (2nd) Business Day before the proposed exchange date.
(d) In connection with each exchange (other than any exchanges on the Closing Date pursuant to instructions from the Depositor), the Certificateholder shall pay the Certificate Administrator an exchange fee of $5,000, and such fee (together with any other expenses related to such exchange (including fees charged by DTC)) must be received by the Certificate Administrator prior to the Exchange Date or such exchange will not be effected. The first distribution on an Exchangeable Certificate or Class EC Certificates will be made in the month following the month of exchange to the Certificateholder of record as of the applicable Record Date for such Certificate. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Depositor will have any obligation to ensure the availability of the applicable Certificates to accomplish any exchange.

(h) The indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Senior Trust Advisor.
Section 6.04 Depositor, Master Servicer and Special Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special
-227-
Servicer shall resign from their respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on each of them except upon (a) determination that such party’s duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (b) in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, and receipt by the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to clause (a) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the resigning party) to such effect delivered to the Trustee and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder. No such resignation by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as applicable, shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 7.02. Upon any termination or resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have the right and opportunity to appoint any successor master servicer or special servicer with respect to this Section 6.04; provided that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, such successor special servicer is approved by the Directing Certificateholder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof may become the Holder of (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with respect to) any Certificate with (except as otherwise set forth in the definition of “Certificateholder”) the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof.
Section 6.07 The Directing Certificateholder. (a) For so long as no Control Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, (2) the Special Servicer with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and (3) the Special Servicer with respect to all Mortgage Loans for which an extension of maturity is being considered by the Special Servicer or by the Master Servicer subject to consent or deemed
-228-
consent of the Special Servicer, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to the second and third paragraphs of this Section 6.07, both (i) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to take any of the following actions (each, a “Major Decision”) unless it has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer and (ii) for so long as no Control Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any of the following actions nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any of the following actions as to which the Directing Certificateholder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or thirty (30) days with respect to clause (x) below) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis (provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, within such ten (10) Business Day (or thirty (30) day) period, then the Directing Certificateholder will be deemed to have waived its right to object):
(i) any proposed or actual foreclosure upon or comparable conversion (which may include acquisitions of an REO Property) of the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default;
(ii) any modification, consent to a modification or waiver of a monetary term or material non-monetary term (including, without limitation, the timing of payments and acceptance of discounted payoffs but excluding waiver of Default Interest or late payment charges) of a Mortgage Loan or any extension of the maturity date of any Mortgage Loan;
(iii) any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property (other than in connection with the termination of the Trust Fund) for less than the applicable Purchase Price;
(iv) any determination to bring an REO Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws or to otherwise address Hazardous Materials located at an REO Property;
(v) any release of collateral or any acceptance of substitute or additional collateral for a Mortgage Loan, or any consent to either of the foregoing, other than required pursuant to the specific terms of the related Mortgage Loan and for which there is no material lender discretion;
(vi) any waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause with respect to a Mortgage Loan or any consent to such waiver or consent to a transfer of the Mortgaged Property or interests in the Mortgagor or consent to the incurrence of additional debt, other than any such transfer or incurrence of debt as may be effected without the consent of the lender under the related loan agreement;
(vii) any property management company changes (with respect to a Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance greater than $2,500,000) or franchise changes with respect to a Mortgage Loan for which the lender is required to consent or approve under the Mortgage Loan documents;
-229-
(viii) releases of any escrows, reserve accounts or letters of credit held as performance escrows or reserves other than those required pursuant to the specific terms of the related Mortgage Loan and for which there is no material lender discretion;
(ix) any acceptance of an assumption agreement releasing a Mortgagor from liability under a Mortgage Loan other than pursuant to the specific terms of such Mortgage Loan and for which there is no material lender discretion; and
(x) any determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default;
provided that, in the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event in this Agreement, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders (as a collective whole), the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Certificateholder’s response. The Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder for any of the foregoing actions after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Event; provided, however, that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder and the Senior Trust Advisor in connection with any proposed action described in clause (i) through (x) of this Section 6.07 (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Directing Certificateholder and the Senior Trust Advisor prior to a Consultation Termination Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Certificateholder, in respect thereof.
In addition, for so long as no Control Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan, as the Directing Certificateholder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction, and no objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or this paragraph, may require or cause the Special Servicer to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law, this Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Senior Trust Advisor, the Trust Fund or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder or cause the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.
In the event the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Certificateholder or any advice from the Directing Certificateholder, would cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law or this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advise and notify the Directing Certificateholder, the Trustee and the
-230-
Rating Agencies of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Directing Certificateholder that does not violate any law or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.
The Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Directing Certificateholder shall not be protected against any liability to a Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that the Directing Certificateholder may take actions that favor the interests of one or more Classes of the Certificates including the Holders of the Controlling Class over other Classes of the Certificates, and that the Directing Certificateholder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that the Directing Certificateholder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, including the Holders of the Controlling Class that the Directing Certificateholder does not have any duties or liability to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class, that the Directing Certificateholder shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, and that the Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Certificateholder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Event, the Directing Certificateholder shall have no right to consent to or direct any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent set forth herein; and (iii) after the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event the Directing Certificateholder shall have no direction, consultation or consent rights hereunder and no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Certificateholder.

(b) If any Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (in either case, for purposes of this Section 7.01(b), the “Affected Party”) shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee or the Depositor may, and at the written direction of the Directing Certificateholder (solely with respect to the Special Servicer and prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Event) or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, terminate, by notice in writing to the Affected Party, with a copy of such notice to the Depositor, all of the rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.03) and obligations of the Affected Party under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof (other than as a Certificateholder; provided, however, that the Affected Party shall be entitled to the payment of accrued and unpaid compensation and reimbursement through the date of such termination as provided for under this Agreement for services rendered and expenses incurred. From and after the receipt by the Affected Party of such written notice except as otherwise provided in this Article VII, all authority and power of the Affected Party under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee with respect to a termination of the Master Servicer, or the Special Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 7.01, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Affected Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer each agree that if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), it shall promptly (and in any event no later than twenty (20) Business Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, functions hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, responsibilities and rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.03) hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within five (5) Business Days to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Account or any Servicing Account (if it is the Affected Party), by the Special Servicer to the REO Account (if it is the Affected Party) or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property (provided, however, that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall, if terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances (in the case of the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer) or otherwise, and it and its
-234-
Affiliates and the directors, managers, officers, members, employees and agents of it and its Affiliates shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.11 and Section 6.03 notwithstanding any such termination).
(c) If the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under Section 7.01(b) solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(viii), (ix), (x), or (xi) the Master Servicer shall have a forty-five (45) day period after such notice in which to find a successor master servicer qualified to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.02 and Section 7.02 and to which the Master Servicer can sell its rights to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement. During such forty-five (45) day period the Master Servicer may continue to serve as Master Servicer hereunder. In the event that the Master Servicer is unable, within such forty-five (45) day period, to cause a qualified successor master servicer to assume the duties of the Master Servicer hereunder, then and in such event, the Trustee shall assume the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder.
(d) At any time prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to terminate the rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.03(d)) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, with or without cause, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee; such termination to be effective upon the appointment of a successor special servicer meeting the requirements of this Section 7.01(d). Upon a termination or resignation of such Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder shall appoint a successor special servicer; provided, however, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.02 and (ii) each Rating Agency delivers Rating Agency Confirmation.
After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Event and upon (a) the written direction of holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reductions to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances pursuant to Section 4.06(b) hereof) of the Principal Balance Certificates requesting a vote to replace the Special Servicer with a new special servicer designated in such written direction, (b) payment by such holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses (including any legal fees and any Rating Agency fees and expenses) to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and which will not be additional Trust Fund expenses and (c) delivery by such holders to the Certificate Administrator and Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (which Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the expense of such holders), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders of such request on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.15(b) and by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard, which such vote shall occur within one hundred-eighty (180) days of the posting of such notice. Upon the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum of Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the successor special servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) designated by such Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Statement to Certificateholders a statement that each Certificateholder may
-235-
(i) access such notices via the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (ii) register to receive electronic mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon.
Following the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, if the Senior Trust Advisor determines that the Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Senior Trust Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Trustee and the Special Servicer, a written recommendation in the form of Exhibit W attached hereto (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, further, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written recommendation contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its position (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a replacement special servicer, which shall be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer. In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders of such recommendation on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.15(b), and by mail conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon (i) the written direction of Holders of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing greater than 50% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reductions to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of such Certificates) of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis and (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency by the Certificate Administrator following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i), the Trustee shall (i) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint a successor special servicer approved by the Certificateholders and (ii) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination. The reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations and administering such vote shall be an additional Trust Fund expense. In the event that the Trustee does not receive at least 50% of the requested votes, then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as the Special Servicer’s successor hereunder.
No penalty or fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer with respect to any termination pursuant to this Section 7.01(d). All costs and expenses of any such termination made by the Directing Certificateholder without cause shall be paid by the Holders of the Controlling Class.
(e) The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall, as the case may be, from time to time, take all such reasonable actions as are required by it in accordance with the related Servicing Standard in order to prevent the Certificates from being placed on “watch” status or downgraded due to servicing or special servicing, as applicable, concerns by any Rating Agency. In no event shall the remedy for a breach of the foregoing covenant extend beyond termination pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(viii) and the resulting operation of Section 7.01(b) and (c). The operation of this subsection (e) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.01(a)(viii).
-236-
Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, either resigns pursuant to subsection (a) of the first sentence of Section 6.04 or receives a notice of termination for cause pursuant to Section 7.01(b), and provided that no acceptable successor has been appointed within the time period specified in Section 7.01(c), the Trustee shall be the successor to the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall be the successor to the Special Servicer, until such successor to the Special Servicer is appointed by the Directing Certificateholder as provided in Section 7.01(d), as applicable, in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to, and have the benefit of, all of the rights, (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.03) benefits, responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liability relating thereto and that arise thereafter placed on or for the benefit of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the terminated party’s failure under Section 7.01 to provide information or moneys required hereunder shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder. The appointment of a successor master servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Master Servicer, and the appointment of a successor special servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Special Servicer. The Trustee or Master Servicer, as applicable, in its capacity as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively, herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer or for any losses incurred by the predecessor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 hereunder, nor shall the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder solely as a result of its obligations as successor master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be. Subject to Section 3.11, as compensation therefor, the Trustee as successor master servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fees and all fees relating to the Mortgage Loans which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, including but not limited to any income or other benefit from any Permitted Investment pursuant to Section 3.06, and subject to Section 3.11, the Master Servicer as successor to the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Special Servicing Fees to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Special Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Should the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, succeed to the capacity of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall be afforded the same standard of care and liability as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder notwithstanding anything in Section 8.01 to the contrary, but only with respect to actions taken by it in its role as successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, and not with respect to its role as Trustee or Master Servicer, as applicable, hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to act as successor to the Master Servicer, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Trustee is not approved as a servicer by each Rating Agency, or if, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, the Directing Certificateholder or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution which meets the criteria set forth in Section 6.04 and
-237-
otherwise herein, as the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the assumption in writing by the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of all its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder that arise thereafter and upon receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency, and which appointment has been approved, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event, by the Directing Certificateholder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer as described herein, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation with respect to a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, shall be in excess of that permitted the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder. The Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (whichever is not the terminated party) and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Any costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the servicing function (other than with respect to a termination without cause) under this Agreement shall be borne by the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.
Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04, any termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
(b) Not later than the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Termination Event and (ii) five (5) days after the Certificate Administrator would be deemed to have notice of the occurrence of such an event in accordance with Section 8.02(vii), the Certificate Administrator shall transmit by mail to the Depositor and all Certificateholders notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have been cured.
Section 7.04 Waiver of Servicer Termination Events. The Holders of Certificates representing at least 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates affected by any Servicer Termination Event hereunder may waive such Servicer Termination Event within twenty (20) days of the receipt of notice from the Certificate Administrator of the occurrence of such Servicer Termination Event; provided, however, that a Servicer Termination Event under clause (i) of Section 7.01(a) may be waived only by all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, such Servicer Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event by
-238-
Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Servicer Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust Fund. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Servicer Termination Event or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, for purposes of waiving any Servicer Termination Event pursuant to this Section 7.04, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to the matters described above as they would if any other Person held such Certificates.
Section 7.05 Trustee as Maker of Advances. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any Advances and such failure remains uncured, the Trustee shall perform such obligations (x) within five (5) Business Days following such failure by the Master Servicer with respect to Servicing Advances resulting in a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(iii) hereof to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure with respect to such Servicing Advances and (y) by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date with respect to P&I Advances pursuant to the Certificate Administrator’s notice of failure pursuant to Section 4.03(a) unless such failure has been cured. With respect to any such Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Master Servicer’s rights with respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s rights of reimbursement and interest on each Advance at the Reimbursement Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, as the case may be, (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by such Master Servicer’s default in its obligations hereunder); provided, however, that if Advances made by the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall at any time be outstanding, or any interest on any Advance shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay such Advances and the interest thereon hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances outstanding to the Trustee, until such Advances shall have been repaid in full, together with all interest accrued thereon, prior to reimbursement of the Master Servicer for such Advances. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder.

-239-

If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall notify the party providing such instrument and requesting the correction thereof.

(vii) For all purposes under this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to have notice of any Servicer Termination Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator at the respective Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Certificates or this Agreement;
(viii) Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for any act or omission of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (unless the Trustee is acting as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, in which case the Trustee shall only be responsible for its own actions as Master Servicer or Special Servicer) or of the Depositor; and
(ix) Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Trust Fund unless it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of such insufficiency.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then-separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Each Custodian shall be subject to the same obligations and standard of care as would be imposed on the Trustee hereunder in connection with the retention of Mortgage Files directly by the Trustee. The appointment of one or more Custodians by the Trustee shall not relieve the Trustee from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Trustee shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions of any Custodian other than the initial Custodian. Any Custodian appointed hereunder must maintain a fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy in an amount customary for Custodians which serve in such capacity in commercial mortgage loan securitization transactions, or may self-insure. The Certificate Administrator is hereby appointed as the Custodian.

Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) on the final Distribution Date, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Sole Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Sole Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust Fund shall be liquidated in accordance with Section 9.02. Solely for federal income tax purposes, the Sole Certificateholder shall be deemed to have purchased the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC for an amount equal to the remaining Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates, plus accrued, unpaid interest with respect thereto, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributable in respect of such Certificates and Related Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests.
The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (i) of the first paragraph of this
-253-
Section 9.01 by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the other parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of any REO Loans remaining in the Trust Fund is less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Preliminary Statement. In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer purchases, or the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates purchase, all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, shall deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account not later than the P&I Advance Date relating to the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase price (exclusive of any portion thereof payable to any Person other than the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.05(a), which portion shall be deposited in the Certificate Account). In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred thereto on such P&I Advance Date from the Certificate Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b), together with any other amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account that would otherwise be held for future distribution. Upon confirmation that such final deposits and payments have been made, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund.
For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class shall have the first option to terminate the Trust Fund, then the Special Servicer, then the Master Servicer, and then the Holders of the Class R Certificates. For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Directing Certificateholder with the consent of the Holders of the Controlling Class, shall act on behalf of the Holders of the Controlling Class in purchasing the assets of the Trust Fund and terminating the Trust.
Notice of any termination pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be given promptly by the Certificate Administrator by letter to the Certificateholders and the 17g-5 Information Provider in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.15(c) (who shall promptly post a copy of such additional notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.15(c)) and, if not previously notified pursuant to this Section 9.01, to the other parties hereto mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates, or (b) otherwise during the month of such final distribution

After transferring the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and the amount of any Yield Maintenance Charges distributable to the Regular Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(f) to the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, pursuant to Section 3.04(b), and upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates (i) such Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest of that portion of the amounts then on deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account or the Class EC Distribution Account, as applicable, that are allocable to payments on the Class of Regular Certificates so presented, (ii) to Holders of the Class NR Certificates so presented, any amounts remaining on deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account and (iii) any remaining amount shall be distributed to the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest or the Class UR Interest, as applicable.

(a) The Certificate Administrator shall make elections or cause elections to be made to treat each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under Applicable State and Local Tax Law. Each such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests and the Certificates are issued. For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Upper-Tier REMIC, (i) each Class of the Regular Certificates (exclusive of the portion of the Class NR Certificates representing an interest in the Grantor Trust) shall be designated as the “regular interests” (or in the case of an exchange and conversion of Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates for Class EC Certificates, such “regular interests” shall be deemed to be held by the Trustee in uncertificated form unless reconverted to Class A-S, Class B and Class C Certificates) and the Class UR Interest shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC. For purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Lower-Tier REMIC, each Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests shall be designated as a class of “regular interests” and the Class LR Interest shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC. None of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC other than the foregoing interests.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup day” of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The Certificate Administrator shall act on behalf of each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving either
-256-
such REMIC and shall represent each such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The legal expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ or accountants’ fees, and costs of any such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the Trust Fund and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on deposit in the Certificate Account as provided by Section 3.05(a) unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence. The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be designated, in the manner provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) and temporary Treasury Regulations Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1T, as the “tax matters person” of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC. By their acceptance thereof, the Holders of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the Certificate Administrator as their agent to perform all of the duties of the “tax matters person” for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC.
(d) The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file, or cause to be filed, all of the Tax Returns that it determines are required with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder, and shall cause the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall timely sign) such Tax Returns in a timely manner. The ordinary expenses of preparing such returns shall be borne by the Certificate Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor.
(e) The Certificate Administrator shall provide or cause to be provided (i) to any Transferor of a Class R Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of such Class R Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, or in the case of a Transfer to an agent thereof, to such agent, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service on Form 8811, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the name, title, address and telephone number of the “tax matters person” who will serve as the representative of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder.
(f) The Certificate Administrator shall take such actions and shall cause the Trust Fund to take such actions as are reasonably within the Certificate Administrator’s control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary to maintain the status of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and the Trustee shall assist the Certificate Administrator to the extent reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator to do so. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and
-257-
the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property”) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Certificate Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Certificate Administrator determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or, unless the Certificate Administrator determines in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, result in the imposition of such a tax (not including a tax on “net income from foreclosure property”). The Trustee shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Certificate Administrator has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. The Certificate Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Certificate Administrator will to the extent within its control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially all of the assets of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In the event that any applicable federal, state or local tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Certificates, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 10.01(g); provided that with respect to the estimated amount of tax imposed on any “net income from foreclosure property” pursuant to Section 860G(c) of the Code or any similar tax imposed by a state or local tax authority, the Special Servicer shall retain in the related REO Account a reserve for the payment of such taxes in such amounts and at such times as it shall deem appropriate (or as advised by the Certificate Administrator in writing), and shall remit to the Master Servicer such reserved amounts as the Master Servicer shall request in order to pay such taxes. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Certificate Account sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is estimated to be legally owed by the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Certificate Administrator from contesting, at the expense of the Trust Fund (other than as a consequence of a breach of its obligations under this Agreement), any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into a separate non-interest bearing account, the net income from any “prohibited transaction” under Section 860F(a) of the Code or the amount of any taxable contribution to the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such prohibited transactions tax. To the extent that any such tax (other than any such tax paid in respect of “net income from foreclosure property”) is paid to the Internal Revenue Service or applicable state or local tax authorities, the
-258-
Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of Class R Certificates (as applicable) and shall distribute such retained amounts, (x) in the case of the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests, to the Upper-Tier REMIC to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Collateral Support Deficit arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest in the manner specified in Section 4.01(d) and (y) in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC, to the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates (without regard to any exchange and conversion of the Exchangeable Certificates for Class EC Certificates) in the manner specified in Section 4.01(a), to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Collateral Support Deficit arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class UR Interest. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC except to the extent such taxes arise as a consequence of a breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement which breach constitutes willful misconduct, bad faith, or negligence by such party.
(h) The Certificate Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain or cause to be maintained books and records with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis or as otherwise may be required by the REMIC Provisions.
(i) Following the Startup Day, neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall accept any contributions of assets to the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC unless the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC will not (i) cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests or Certificates are outstanding or (ii) subject any of the Trust Fund or the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(j) Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall enter into any arrangement by which the Trust Fund or the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit the Trust Fund or the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(k) Solely for the purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” by which the Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of each Class of Regular Certificates representing a “regular interest” in the Upper-Tier REMIC and by which the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of each Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests representing a “regular interest” in the Lower-Tier REMIC would be reduced to zero is the Rated Final Distribution Date.
(l) None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the default, imminent default or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by
-259-
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii) the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or Article III of this Agreement) or acquire any assets for the Trust Fund or the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or sell or dispose of any investments in the Certificate Account or the REO Account for gain unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition or substitution will not (a) affect adversely the status of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or (b) unless the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, cause the Trust Fund or the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

(b) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each furnish such reports, certifications and information, and upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, access to such books and records maintained thereby, as may relate to the Certificates or the Trust Fund and as shall be reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator in order to enable it to perform its duties hereunder.
Section 10.04 Appointment of REMIC Administrators. (a) The Certificate Administrator may appoint at the Certificate Administrator’s expense, one or more REMIC Administrators, which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Certificate Administrator in performing the functions set forth in Section 10.01 herein. The Certificate Administrator shall cause any such REMIC Administrator to execute and deliver to the Certificate Administrator an instrument in which such REMIC Administrator shall agree to act in such capacity, with the obligations and responsibilities herein.

Oral and written requests have been made on behalf of the registrant, to the extent required under the related pooling and servicing agreement, to obtain the information required for this [Item 6]

(f) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 12.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

(l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to this Section 12.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to matters described above as they would if any other Person held such Certificates, so long as neither the Depositor nor any of its Affiliates is performing servicing duties with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans.

If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.
Section 12.07 Grant of a Security Interest. The Depositor intends that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a sale and not a pledge of security for a loan.

The Depositor also intends and agrees that, in such event, (i) the Depositor shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee (in such capacity) a first priority security interest in the Depositor’s entire right, title and interest in and to the assets comprising the Trust Fund, including without limitation, the Mortgage Loans, all principal and interest received or receivable with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than principal and interest payments due and payable prior to the Cut-off Date and Principal Prepayments received prior to the Cut-off Date), all amounts held from time to time in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account and, if established, the REO Account, and all reinvestment earnings on such amounts, and all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of any title, hazard or other Insurance Policies related to such Mortgage Loans and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. This Section 12.07 shall constitute notice to the Trustee pursuant to any of the requirements of the applicable UCC.
Section 12.08 Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, and all such provisions shall inure to the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each Mortgage Loan Seller (and its respective agents), each Underwriter and each Initial Purchaser is an intended third-party beneficiary to this Agreement in respect of the respective rights afforded it hereunder. No other person, including, without limitation, any Mortgagor, shall be entitled to any benefit or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.
Section 12.09 Article and Section Headings. The article and section headings herein are for convenience of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

(i) any material change or amendment to this Agreement;
(ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event that has not been cured;
(iii) the resignation or termination of the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer; and

(i) the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator;
(ii) any change in the location of the Certificate Account;
(iii) any event that would result in the voluntary or involuntary termination of any insurance of the accounts of the Trustee;
(iv) any change in the lien priority of any Mortgage Loan with respect to an assumption of the Mortgage Loan or additional encumbrance described in Section 3.08;
(v) any additional lease to an anchor tenant or termination of any existing lease to an anchor tenant at retail properties for any Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance that is equal to or greater than the lesser of (1) an amount greater than 5% of the then aggregate outstanding principal balances of the Mortgage Loans and (2) $35,000,000;
(vi) any material damage to any Mortgaged Property;
(vii) any assumption with respect to a Mortgage Loan; and
(viii) any release or substitution of any Mortgaged Property.
(c) [Reserved.]
(d) The Certificate Administrator shall promptly furnish notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.15(c), and thereafter to the Rating Agencies of (i) any change in the location of the Distribution Accounts and (ii) the final payment to any Class of Certificateholders.
-291-
(e) The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall furnish to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.15(c), and thereafter to each Rating Agency with respect to each Mortgage Loan such information as any Rating Agency shall reasonably request and which the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, can reasonably provide in accordance with applicable law and without waiving any attorney-client privilege relating to such information or violating the terms of this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan documents. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, may include any reasonable disclaimer it deems appropriate with respect to such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Section 12.10 shall require a party to provide duplicative notices or copies to the Rating Agencies with respect to any of the above listed items.
Section 12.11 Precautionary Trust Indenture Act Provisions. In the event that the Depositor notifies the parties to this Agreement that it has determined that the TIA applies to this Agreement or that that qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”) or any similar federal statute hereafter enacted is required (any such determination by the Depositor, a “TIA Applicability Determination”), then, (i) in the case of the TIA, pursuant to Section 318 of the TIA (assuming such section is then in effect), the provisions of Sections 310 to and including Section 317 of the TIA that impose duties on any person are part of and govern this Agreement, whether or not physically contained herein, as and to the extent provided in Section 318 of the TIA; provided, however, that it shall be deemed that the parties to this Agreement have agreed that, to the extent permitted under the TIA, this Agreement shall expressly exclude any non-mandatory provisions that (x) conflict with the provisions of this Agreement or would otherwise alter the provisions of this Agreement or (y) increase the obligations, liabilities or scope of responsibility of any party hereto; (ii) the parties agree to cooperate in good faith with the Depositor to make such amendments to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of this Agreement under the TIA or such similar statute and to add to this Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA or as may be determined by the parties to be beneficial for compliance with the TIA; and (iii) upon the direction of the Depositor, the Trustee shall file a Form T-1 or such other form as the Depositor informs the Trustee is required, with the SEC or other appropriate institution.

X.X. XXXXXX CHASE COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO.
is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class A-1 Certificates issued by the Trust Fund created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2012 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Senior Trust Advisor. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the X.X. XXXXXX CHASE COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2012-C8, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-C8 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
A-1-4
Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class A-1 Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Collateral Support Deficit, Certificate Deferred Interest and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficit or Certificate Deferred Interest on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Certificate Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Certificate Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, take steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
A-1-5
Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class A-1 Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $10,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders:
(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;
(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non-U.S. Tax Person;
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect
A-1-6
in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by Rating Agency Confirmation from such Rating Agency; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;
(viii) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.19 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered Rating Agency Confirmation;
(ix) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g 5 Information Provider’s Website; and
(x) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to (A) such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary thereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the mortgage loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
A-1-7
(iv) change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or
(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Senior Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust.
The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) remaining in the Trust Fund and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on or after any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Loan remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class EC, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust Fund as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.
THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto.

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) remaining in the Trust Fund and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on or after any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Loan remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class EC, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.

(viii) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.19 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered Rating Agency Confirmation;
(ix) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g 5 Information Provider’s Website; and
(x) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to (A) such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary thereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the mortgage loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
A-3-7
(iv) change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or
(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Senior Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust.
The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) remaining in the Trust Fund and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on or after any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Loan remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class EC, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Senior Trust Advisor. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class A-SB Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the X.X. XXXXXX CHASE COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2012-C8, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-C8 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Collateral Support Deficit, Certificate Deferred Interest and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Certificate Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Certificate Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, take steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(viii) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.19 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered Rating Agency Confirmation;
(ix) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g 5 Information Provider’s Website; and
(x) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to (A) such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary thereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the mortgage loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
A-4-7
(iv) change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or
(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Senior Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust.
The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) remaining in the Trust Fund and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on or after any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Loan remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class EC, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.

CORP.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO.
is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class X-A Certificates issued by the Trust Fund created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2012 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Senior Trust Advisor. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class X-A Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the X.X. XXXXXX CHASE COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2012-C8, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-C8 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
A-5-4
Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class X-A Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Collateral Support Deficit, Certificate Deferred Interest and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficit or Certificate Deferred Interest on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Certificate Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Certificate Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, take steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
A-5-5
Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class X-A Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 initial Certificate Balance, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders:
(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;
(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non U.S. Tax Person;
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect

(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by Rating Agency Confirmation from such Rating Agency; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;
(viii) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.19 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered Rating Agency Confirmation;
(ix) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g 5 Information Provider’s Website; and
(x) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to (A) such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary thereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the mortgage loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
A-5-7
(iv) change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or
(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Senior Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust.
The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) remaining in the Trust Fund and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on or after any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Loan remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class EC, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.

CLASS X-B CERTIFICATE
evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by
X.X. XXXXXX CHASE COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO.
is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class X-B Certificates issued by the Trust Fund created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2012 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Senior Trust Advisor. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class X-B Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the X.X. XXXXXX CHASE COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2012-C8, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-C8 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
A-6-4
Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class X-B Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Collateral Support Deficit, Certificate Deferred Interest and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficit or Certificate Deferred Interest on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Certificate Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Certificate Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, take steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
A-6-5
Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class X-B Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $1,000,000 initial Certificate Balance, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders:
(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;
(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non U.S. Tax Person;
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect
A-6-6
in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by Rating Agency Confirmation from such Rating Agency; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;
(viii) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.19 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered Rating Agency Confirmation;
(ix) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g 5 Information Provider’s Website; and
(x) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to (A) such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary thereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the mortgage loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
A-6-7
(iv) change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or
(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Senior Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust.
The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) remaining in the Trust Fund and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on or after any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Loan remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class EC, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust Fund as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.
THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO.
is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class A-S Certificates issued by the Trust Fund created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2012 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among X.X. XXXXXX CHASE COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Senior Trust Advisor. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class A-S Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2012-C8, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-C8 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
A-7-4
Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class A-S Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Collateral Support Deficit, Certificate Deferred Interest and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficit or Certificate Deferred Interest on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Certificate Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Certificate Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, take steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
A-7-5
Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class A-S Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.
In addition, subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate, together with the Class B and Class C Certificates, may be exchanged, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, payment of the applicable exchange fee), for the Class EC Certificates.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders:
(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;
(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or any of the
A-7-6
Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non U.S. Tax Person;
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by Rating Agency Confirmation from such Rating Agency; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;
(viii) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.19 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered Rating Agency Confirmation;
(ix) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g 5 Information Provider’s Website; and
(x) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to (A) such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary thereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the mortgage loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate; or
A-7-7
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iv) change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or
(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Senior Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust.
The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) remaining in the Trust Fund and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on or after any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Loan remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class EC, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust Fund as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

XXXXXX CHASE COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Senior Trust Advisor. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class B Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2012-C8, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-C8 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
A-8-4
Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class B Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Collateral Support Deficit, Certificate Deferred Interest and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficit or Certificate Deferred Interest on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Certificate Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Certificate Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, take steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
A-8-5
Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class B Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.
In addition, subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate, together with the Class A-S and Class C Certificates, may be exchanged, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, payment of the applicable exchange fee), for the Class EC Certificates.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders:
(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;
(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or any of the
A-8-6
Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non U.S. Tax Person;
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by Rating Agency Confirmation from such Rating Agency; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;
(viii) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.19 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered Rating Agency Confirmation;
(ix) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g 5 Information Provider’s Website; and
(x) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to (A) such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary thereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the mortgage loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate; or
A-8-7
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iv) change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or
(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Senior Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust.
The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) remaining in the Trust Fund and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on or after any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Loan remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class EC, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust Fund as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class C Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Collateral Support Deficit, Certificate Deferred Interest and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficit or Certificate Deferred Interest on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Certificate Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Certificate Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, take steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
A-9-5
Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class C Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.
In addition, subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate, together with the Class B and Class C Certificates, may be exchanged, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, payment of the applicable exchange fee), for the Class EC Certificates.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders:
(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;
(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or any of the
A-9-6
Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non U.S. Tax Person;
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by Rating Agency Confirmation from such Rating Agency; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;
(viii) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.19 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered Rating Agency Confirmation;
(ix) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g 5 Information Provider’s Website; and
(x) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to (A) such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary thereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the mortgage loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate; or
A-9-7
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iv) change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or
(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Senior Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust.
The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) remaining in the Trust Fund and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on or after any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Loan remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class EC, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO.
is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class D Certificates issued by the Trust Fund created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2012 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among X.X. XXXXXX CHASE COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Senior Trust Advisor. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class D Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2012-C8, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-C8 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
A-10-4
Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class D Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Collateral Support Deficit, Certificate Deferred Interest and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficit or Certificate Deferred Interest on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Certificate Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Certificate Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, take steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;

(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect
A-10-6
in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by Rating Agency Confirmation from such Rating Agency; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;
(viii) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.19 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered Rating Agency Confirmation;
(ix) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g 5 Information Provider’s Website; and
(x) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to (A) such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary thereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the mortgage loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
A-10-7
(iv) change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or
(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Senior Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust.
The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) remaining in the Trust Fund and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on or after any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Loan remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class EC, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust Fund as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.
THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO.
is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class E Certificates issued by the Trust Fund created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2012 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among X.X. XXXXXX CHASE COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Senior Trust Advisor. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class E Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2012-C8, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-C8 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
A-11-4
Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class E Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Collateral Support Deficit, Certificate Deferred Interest and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficit or Certificate Deferred Interest on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Certificate Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Certificate Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, take steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
A-11-5
Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class E Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders:
(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;
(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non U.S. Tax Person;
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect

in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by Rating Agency Confirmation from such Rating Agency; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;
(viii) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.19 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered Rating Agency Confirmation;
(ix) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g 5 Information Provider’s Website; and
(x) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to (A) such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary thereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the mortgage loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
A-11-7
(iv) change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or
(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Senior Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust.
The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) remaining in the Trust Fund and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on or after any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Loan remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class EC, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust Fund as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO.
is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class F Certificates issued by the Trust Fund created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2012 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among X.X. XXXXXX CHASE COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Senior Trust Advisor. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class F Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2012-C8, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-C8 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
A-12-5
Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class F Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Collateral Support Deficit, Certificate Deferred Interest and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficit or Certificate Deferred Interest on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Certificate Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Certificate Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, take steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
A-12-6
Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class F Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders:
(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;
(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non U.S. Tax Person;
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect
A-12-7
in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by Rating Agency Confirmation from such Rating Agency; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;
(viii) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.19 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered Rating Agency Confirmation;
(ix) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g 5 Information Provider’s Website; and
(x) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to (A) such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary thereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the mortgage loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

(iv) change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or
(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Senior Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust.
The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) remaining in the Trust Fund and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on or after any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Loan remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class EC, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust Fund as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.
THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO.
is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class G Certificates issued by the Trust Fund created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2012 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among X.X. XXXXXX CHASE COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Senior Trust Advisor. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class G Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2012-C8, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-C8 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
A-13-5
Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class G Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Collateral Support Deficit, Certificate Deferred Interest and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficit or Certificate Deferred Interest on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Certificate Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Certificate Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, take steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
A-13-6
Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class G Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders:
(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;
(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non U.S. Tax Person;
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect
A-13-7
in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by Rating Agency Confirmation from such Rating Agency; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;
(viii) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.19 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered Rating Agency Confirmation;
(ix) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g 5 Information Provider’s Website; and
(x) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to (A) such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary thereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the mortgage loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
A-13-8
(iv) change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or
(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Senior Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust.
The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) remaining in the Trust Fund and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on or after any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Loan remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class EC, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X.

evidencing a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, consisting primarily of a pool of commercial mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”), all payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all REO Properties and revenues received in respect thereof, the mortgagee’s rights under the insurance policies, any Assignment of Leases, and any guaranties or other collateral as security for the Mortgage Loans and such amounts as shall from time to time be held in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the REO Accounts, formed and sold by
X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO.
is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class EC Certificates issued by the Trust Fund created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2012 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Senior Trust Advisor. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class EC Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2012-C8, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-C8 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate represents a beneficial interest in certain “regular interests” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
The initial Certificate Balance of the Class EC Certificates is equal to the aggregate of the initial Certificate Balances of the Exchangeable Certificates and represents the maximum principal balance of the Exchangeable Certificates that could be issued in an exchange. The Class EC Certificates will only receive distributions of principal and interest that are otherwise distributable to the Exchangeable Certificates exchanged for such Class EC Certificates.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to
A-14-4
such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Exchangeable Certificates exchanged for the Class EC Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
The Class EC Certificates will only receive distributions of interest that are otherwise distributable to the Exchangeable Certificates exchanged for such Class EC Certificates. Interest on the Exchangeable Certificates exchanged for the Class EC Certificates will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the related Pass-Through Rate specified on the Certificate Balance of each such Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be distributed on the Exchangeable Certificates exchanged for this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Collateral Support Deficit, Certificate Deferred Interest and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficit or Certificate Deferred Interest on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Certificate Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Certificate Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, take steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on
A-14-5
any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
In addition, subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, this Certificate may be exchanged for the Exchangeable Certificates pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, payment of the applicable exchange fee).
Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class EC Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders:
(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;
(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier
A-14-6
REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non U.S. Tax Person;
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by Rating Agency Confirmation from such Rating Agency; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;
(viii) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.19 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered Rating Agency Confirmation;
(ix) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g 5 Information Provider’s Website; and
(x) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to (A) such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary thereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the
A-14-7
aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the mortgage loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iv) change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or
(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Senior Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust.
The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) remaining in the Trust Fund and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on or after any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Loan remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class EC, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years
A-14-8
from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT CEDE & CO.
is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class NR Certificates issued by the Trust Fund created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2012 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among X.X. XXXXXX CHASE COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Senior Trust Advisor. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class NR Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2012-C8, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-C8 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Certificate is a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
A-15-5
Interest on this Certificate will accrue (computed as if each year consisted of 360 days and each month consisted of 30 days) during the Interest Accrual Period relating to such Distribution Date at the Class NR Pass-Through Rate specified above on the Certificate Balance of this Certificate immediately prior to each Distribution Date. Principal and interest allocated to this Certificate on any Distribution Date will be in an amount equal to this Certificate’s pro rata share of the Available Distribution Amount to be distributed on the Certificates of this Class as of such Distribution Date, with a final distribution to be made upon retirement of this Certificate as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Collateral Support Deficit, Certificate Deferred Interest and certain other amounts on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated on the applicable Distribution Date to Certificateholders in the manner set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All Collateral Support Deficit or Certificate Deferred Interest on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Certificate Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Certificate Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, take steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
A-15-6
Subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Class NR Certificates will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of DTC in minimum denominations of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, with one Certificate of each such Class evidencing an additional amount equal to the remainder of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders:
(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non U.S. Tax Person;
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect
A-15-7
in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by Rating Agency Confirmation from such Rating Agency; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;
(viii) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.19 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered Rating Agency Confirmation;
(ix) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g 5 Information Provider’s Website; and
(x) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to (A) such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary thereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the mortgage loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
A-15-8
(iv) change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or
(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Senior Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust.
The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) remaining in the Trust Fund and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on or after any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Loan remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class EC, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust Fund as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.
THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN NEW YORK.

X.X. XXXXXX CHASE COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
is the registered owner of the interest evidenced by this Certificate in the Class R Certificates issued by the Trust Fund created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2012 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among X.X. XXXXXX XXXXX COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP. (hereinafter called the “Depositor”, which term includes any successor entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Senior Trust Advisor. A summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Certificates of the series specified on the face hereof (herein called the “Certificates”) and representing an interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the quotient expressed as a percentage obtained by dividing the Denomination of this Certificate specified on the face hereof, by the aggregate initial Certificate Balance of the Class R Certificates. The Certificates are designated as the X.X. XXXXXX CHASE COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES TRUST 2012-C8, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-C8 and are issued in the classes as specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificates will evidence in the aggregate 100% of the beneficial ownership of the Trust Fund.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reference is made to that agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds, and duties evidenced hereby and the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to which Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as amended from time to time, the Certificateholder by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which the Certificateholder is bound. In the case of any conflict between terms specified in this Certificate and terms specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall govern.
This Class R Certificate represents a “residual interest” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits”, as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income. The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be the “tax matters person” for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d), and the Master Servicer is hereby irrevocably designated and shall serve as attorney-in-fact and agent for any such Person that is the “tax matters person”.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, distributions, if any, on this Certificate shall be made by the Certificate Administrator in an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) and to the extent and subject to the limitations set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the Distribution Date to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date. All sums distributable on this Certificate are payable in the coin or
A-16-4
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Account and the Distribution Accounts will be held on behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Certificates specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer (with respect to the Certificate Account) or the Certificate Administrator (with respect to the Distribution Accounts) will be authorized to make withdrawals therefrom. Amounts on deposit in such accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments. Interest or other investment income earned on funds in the Certificate Account will be paid to the Master Servicer as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account shall be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of certain expenses incurred with respect to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and administration of the Trust Fund.
All distributions under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to a Class of Certificates shall be made on each Distribution Date (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) to Certificateholders of record on the related Record Date by check mailed to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that such Certificateholder has provided the Certificate Administrator with wire instructions in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on this Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Any funds not distributed on the final Distribution Date because of the failure of Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of the non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, take steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(i) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registerable in the Certificate Register only upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at the office of its transfer agent, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized Denominations will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee under Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions: (A) no Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Disqualified Organization or agent thereof (including a nominee, middleman or similar person) (an “Agent”), a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of or investing the assets of a Plan (such Plan or Person, an “ERISA Prohibited Holder”) or a Non-U.S. Tax Person and shall promptly notify the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change to such status; (B) in connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and no Transfer of any Class R Certificate shall be registered until
A-16-5
the Certificate Registrar receives, an affidavit substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is not a Disqualified Organization or Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-U.S. Tax Person, and that it has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and agrees to be bound by them; (C) notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is a Disqualified Organization or Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-U.S. Tax Person, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected; and (D) each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transferee Affidavit from any prospective Transferee to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate and (2) not to transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a letter substantially in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-2 (a “Transferor Letter”) certifying that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such prospective Transferee is a Disqualified Organization, an Agent thereof, an ERISA Prohibited Holder or a Non-U.S. Tax Person.
The Class R Certificates will be issued in fully registered, certificated form, in minimum percentage interests of 10% and integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.
No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In connection with any transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the Transferor shall reimburse the Trust for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar’s counsel’s review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided in Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Registrar and any of their agents may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agents shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the parties thereto, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders:
(i) to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in order to address any manifest error in any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
(ii) to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;
(iii) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the Master Servicer Remittance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(iv) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the qualification of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust at all times that any Certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust that would be a claim against the Trust Fund or either of the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the Trustee and the Certificate
A-16-6
Administrator have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non U.S. Tax Person;
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;
(vii) to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by Rating Agency Confirmation from such Rating Agency; provided that such amendment or supplement shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel;
(viii) to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.19 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, for so long as a Control Event has not occurred and is not continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel and (c) each Rating Agency has delivered Rating Agency Confirmation;
(ix) to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) if any Certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such Certificates; and provided, further, that the Certificate Administrator shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g 5 Information Provider’s Website; and
(x) in the event of a TIA Applicability Determination, to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to (A) such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement such other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA, and (B) modify such other provisions as are necessary to conform the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and be consistent with the modifications made pursuant to the preceding clause (A).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary thereunder, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the Class for the purpose of adding
A-16-7
any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the mortgage loans that are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any class without the consent of the Holder of the Certificate; or
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iii) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or
(iv) change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or
(v) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Senior Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust Fund’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust.
The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon 60 days’ prior notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, purchase all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) remaining in the Trust Fund and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust Fund and early retirement of the then outstanding Certificates, on or after any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund’s portion of each REO Loan remaining in the Trust Fund is reduced to less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans.
Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class EC, Class D and Class E Certificates are retired, the Sole Certificateholder may, at its option exchange (subject to the Master Servicer’s consent) all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust Fund due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
