PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

(Terms used but not defined in this Preliminary

Statement shall have the meanings

specified in Article I hereof)

The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple classes which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator will elect that two segregated portions of the Trust Fund (other than the Excess Interest, the Excess Interest Distribution Account and the proceeds thereof) be treated for federal income tax purposes as two separate REMICs (designated as the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, respectively). The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F and Class G Certificates will represent “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC, and the Upper-Tier Residual Interest will be the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC. There are also (i) 12 uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests issued under this Agreement (designated as the Class XX-0, Xxxxx XX-0, Class LA-3, Class LA-4, Class LA-AB, Class LA-S, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF and Class LG Interests), each of which will constitute a class of “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC, and (ii) the Lower-Tier Residual Interest, which will be the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class R Certificates will represent both the Lower-Tier Residual Interest and the Upper-Tier Residual Interest.

The parties intend that (i) the portion of the Trust Fund representing the Excess Interest, the Excess Interest Distribution Account and the proceeds thereof will be treated as a grantor trust under subpart E of Part I of subchapter J of the Code and (ii) the beneficial interests in the Excess Interest, the Excess Interest Distribution Account and the proceeds thereof will be represented by the Class S Certificates.

	(2)	The Class R Certificates will not have a Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount, will not bear interest and will not be entitled to distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges. Any Available Funds remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, after all required distributions under this Agreement have been made to the Regular Certificates, will be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates.

	(1)	The interest rate of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest is the WAC Rate.

	(2)	Each Lower-Tier Regular Interest constitutes the corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest (the “Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest”) with respect to both its Corresponding Certificates and its Corresponding Component. The Corresponding Certificates and Corresponding Component with respect to any Lower-Tier Regular Interest are also the Corresponding Certificates and Corresponding Component with respect to each other.

GRANTOR TRUST

The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of 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”). As provided herein, the Trustee 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. The Class S Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the Grantor Trust.

As of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loans have an aggregate Stated Principal Balance equal to approximately $1,040,210,521.

In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee agree as follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Appraisal is required to be obtained in accordance with Section 3.10(a) of this Agreement but is not obtained within 120 days following the events described in the applicable clause of the definition “Appraisal Reduction Event” (without regard to the time periods stated therein), then, until such Appraisal is obtained and solely for purposes of determining the amounts of P&I Advances, the Appraisal Reduction Amount will equal 25% of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan; provided that, upon receipt of an Appraisal, however, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for such Mortgage Loan (or the related Whole Loan, if applicable) will be recalculated in accordance with this definition without regard to this sentence.

Based upon such Appraisal or letter updates thereto, the Special Servicer shall determine and report to the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator the Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan), and each of those parties shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such determination by the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such Appraisal to the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, which shall be in electronic format. Each Appraisal Reduction Amount shall also be adjusted with respect to the next Distribution Date to take into account any subsequent Appraisal and annual letter updates, as of the date of each such subsequent Appraisal or letter update.

Upon payment in full or liquidation of any Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan) for which an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been determined, such Appraisal Reduction Amount will be eliminated. In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan), as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, such Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan) shall no longer be subject to the Appraisal Reduction Amount if (a) such Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan) has become a Corrected Loan (if a Servicing Transfer Event had occurred with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan)) and such Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan) becomes and remains current for three consecutive Monthly Payments and (b) no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and is continuing.

The Depositor hereby represents and warrants that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has covenanted in the related Loan Purchase Agreement as to each Mortgage Loan, that if it cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the documents and/or instruments referred to in

-92-

clauses (2), (3) and (6) (if recorded) and (15) of the definition of “Mortgage File” solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, as applicable, a copy of the original certified by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording, shall be forwarded to the Certificate Administrator. Each assignment referred to in the prior paragraph that is recorded and the file copy of each UCC-2 and UCC-3 assignment referred to in the previous paragraph shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording or filing office to the Certificate Administrator or its agent following recording; provided that, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the Certificate Administrator shall obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original. On a monthly basis, at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Certificate Administrator shall forward to the Master Servicer a copy of each of the aforementioned assignments following the Custodian’s receipt thereof.

If the Certificate Administrator has received written notice that any of the aforementioned assignments is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, then the Certificate Administrator shall direct the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement) promptly to prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or to cure such defect, as the case may be, and record or file, or with respect to any assignments the Certificate Administrator has agreed to file as described above, to deliver to the Certificate Administrator the substitute or corrected document. The Certificate Administrator shall upon receipt from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate.

(d) In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.01(a) of this Agreement, the Depositor shall direct the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (pursuant to the related Loan Purchase Agreement) to deliver to and deposit (or cause to be delivered and deposited) with the Master Servicer (i) on the Closing Date, the 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Deposit with respect to the 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Loan for deposit in the 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Account, and (ii) within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, all documents and records not otherwise required to be contained in the Mortgage File that (A) relate to the origination and/or servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans or any related Companion Loans, (B) are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the Mortgage Loans (including any asset summaries related to the Mortgage Loans that were delivered to the Rating Agencies in connection with the rating of the Certificates) or any related Companion Loans or for evidencing or enforcing any of the rights of the holder of the Mortgage Loans or any related Companion Loans or holders of interests therein and (C) are in possession or under control of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, together with all unapplied Escrow Payments and reserve funds in the possession of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to such Mortgage Loans or any related Companion Loans, provided that any document, record or item referred to above in clause (ii) of this sentence that constitutes a Designated Servicing Document shall be delivered to the Master Servicer on or before the Closing Date; and provided, further, that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any draft documents, privileged or other related Mortgage Loan Seller communications, credit underwriting, due diligence analyses or data, or internal worksheets, memoranda, communications or evaluations.

With respect to each Whole Loan, the Custodian shall also hold the portion of such Mortgage File that relates to the Companion Loan in such Whole Loan in trust for the use and benefit of the related Companion Loan Holder. In connection with the foregoing, the Certificate Administrator hereby certifies to each of the other parties hereto, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and each Underwriter that, as to each Mortgage Loan, (i) all documents specified in clause (1) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession or the possession of the Custodian on its behalf, and (ii) the original Note (or, if accompanied by a lost note affidavit, the copy of such Note) received by it or the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan has been reviewed by it or by the Custodian on its behalf and (A) appears regular on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appears to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purports to relate to such Mortgage Loan.

(b) On or about the 60th day following the Closing Date (and, if any exceptions are noted, again on or about the 90th day following the Closing Date and monthly thereafter until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the day on which all material exceptions have been removed and (iii) the day on which the applicable

-94-

Mortgage Loan Seller has repurchased or substituted for the last affected Mortgage Loan), the Certificate Administrator shall review the documents delivered to it or the Custodian with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and the Certificate Administrator shall, subject to Section 2.01(c), Section 2.02(c) and Section 2.02(d) of this Agreement and the terms of the respective Loan Purchase Agreements, certify in writing (substantially in the form of Exhibit N to this Agreement) to each of the other parties hereto, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and each Underwriter (and upon request, in the case of a Whole Loan, to the related Companion Loan Holder) that, as to each Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement (except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such certification): (i) all documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (7) and (15) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession or the related Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise satisfied the delivery requirements in accordance with the related Loan Purchase Agreement; (ii) the recordation/filing contemplated by Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement has been completed (based solely on receipt by the Certificate Administrator of the particular recorded/filed documents); (iii) all documents received by it or the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan have been reviewed by it or the Custodian on its behalf and (A) appear regular on their face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appear to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purport to relate to such Mortgage Loan; and (iv) based on the examinations referred to in Section 2.02(a) of this Agreement and this Section 2.02(b) and only as to the foregoing documents (together with any Loan Agreement that has been delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller), the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (iv) and (v)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects the information set forth in the Mortgage File. With respect to the items listed in clauses (2), (3), (4) and (6) of the definition of “Mortgage File” if the original of such document is not in the Certificate Administrator’s possession because it has not been returned from the applicable recording office, then the Certificate Administrator’s certification prepared pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) should indicate the absence of such original. If the Certificate Administrator’s obligation to deliver the certifications contemplated in this subsection terminates because two years have elapsed since the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver a comparable certification to any party hereto, the Companion Loan Holder and any Underwriter on request.

(c) It is acknowledged that none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian is under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are valid, legal, effective, genuine, binding, enforceable, sufficient or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Furthermore, none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether the requisite recording of any document is in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction.

-95-

regular on their face and such additional information as will be necessary for delivering the certifications required by Section 2.02(a) and Section 2.02(b) of this Agreement.

(e) If, after the Closing Date, the Depositor comes into possession of any documents or records that constitute part of the Mortgage File or Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall promptly deliver such document to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer (if it constitutes part of the Servicing File).

Section 2.03 Mortgage Loan Sellers’ Repurchase, Substitution or Cures of Mortgage Loans for Document Defects in Mortgage Files and Breaches of Representations and Warranties.

(a) If (i) any party hereto (A) discovers or receives notice alleging that any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File has not been properly executed, is missing, contains information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or does not appear to be regular on its face (each, a “Document Defect”) or (B) discovers or receives notice alleging a breach of any representation or warranty of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller made pursuant to Section 6(c) of the related Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan (a “Breach”) or (ii) the Special Servicer or the Depositor receives a Repurchase Communication of a request or demand for repurchase or replacement of any Mortgage Loan alleging a Document Defect or Breach (any such request or demand, a “Repurchase Request”), then such Person shall give prompt written notice thereof (in accordance with the fourth paragraph of this Section 2.03(a) in connection with such Person’s receipt of a Repurchase Request) to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the other parties hereto, any related Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (to the extent notice has not previously been delivered to such Persons pursuant to this sentence). If any such Document Defect or Breach materially and adversely affects, or any such Document Defect is deemed in accordance with Section 2.03(b) of this Agreement to materially and adversely affect, the value of the related Mortgage Loan (or any related REO Property) or the interests of the Certificateholders therein, or causes the related Mortgage Loan to be other than a Qualified Mortgage, then such Document Defect shall constitute a “Material Document Defect” or such Breach shall constitute a “Material Breach”, as the case may be. The Special Servicer shall determine, with respect to any affected Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, whether a Document Defect is a Material Document Defect or a Breach is a Material Breach. If such Document Defect or Breach has been determined to be a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, then the Special Servicer shall give prompt written notice thereof to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto and the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), and the Special Servicer shall require the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, not later than 90 days from the earlier of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery or receipt of notice of, and receipt of a demand to take action with respect to, such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be (or, in the case of a Material Document Defect or Material Breach relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, not later than 90 days from any party discovering such Material Document Defect or Material Breach provided the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller

-96-

receives notice thereof in a timely manner), to cure the same in all material respects (which cure shall include payment of losses and any Additional Trust Fund Expenses associated therewith) or, if such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, cannot be cured within such 90 day period, either to (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property (or the Trust’s interest therein) at the applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collection Account or (ii) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage 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 Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith, all in conformity with the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, that if (i) such Material Document Defect or Material Breach is capable of being cured but not within such 90 day period, (ii) such Material Document Defect or Material Breach is not related to any Mortgage Loan’s not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iii) the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach within such 90 day period, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional 90 days to complete such cure or, in the event of a failure to so cure, to complete such repurchase or substitution (it being understood and agreed that, in connection with such Mortgage Loan Seller’s receiving such additional 90 day period, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the reasons such Material Document Defect or Material Breach is not capable of being cured within the initial 90 day period and what actions such Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that such Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach will be cured within such additional 90 day period); and provided, further, that, if any such Material Document Defect is still not cured after the initial 90 day period and any such additional 90 day period solely due to the failure of such Mortgage Loan Seller to have received the recorded document, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and substitution obligations in respect of such Document Defect so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator every 30 days thereafter that the Document Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that such Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect (specifying the actions being taken), except that no such deferral of cure, repurchase or substitution may continue beyond the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the Purchase Price are to be wired. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be substituted for, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the Substitution Shortfall Amount are to be wired. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. 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

-97-

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 Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt.

If the Special Servicer or the Depositor receives a Repurchase Communication of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given and which withdrawal is by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”), such party shall give written notice of such Repurchase Request Withdrawal to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), any Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (to the extent notice has not previously been delivered to such Persons pursuant to this sentence).

If the Special Servicer receives a Repurchase Communication that any Mortgage Loan that was subject of a Repurchase Request has been repurchased or replaced (a “Repurchase”), or that such Repurchase Request has been rejected (a “Repurchase Request Rejection”), then the Special Servicer shall (in accordance with the following paragraph) give written notice of such Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to the Depositor and, unless it is the party that notified the Special Servicer thereof, the Certificate Administrator.

Each notice of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection required to be given by a party pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) (each, a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice”) shall be given no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable, and shall include (i) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the date the Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection was received, as applicable, (iii) if known, the basis for the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) and (iv) in the case of Rule 15Ga-1 Notices provided by the Special Servicer with respect to a Repurchase Request, a statement as to whether the Special Servicer currently plans to pursue such Repurchase Request.

If the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, a Repurchase or a Repurchase Request Rejection, then such party shall promptly forward such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to the Special Servicer (with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan) and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a [“Repurchase Request”] [a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”] [a “Repurchase”] [a “Repurchase Request Rejection”] under Section 2.03(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2012-GC8 Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2012-GC8, requiring action by you as the recipient of such [Repurchase

-98-

Request] [Repurchase Request Withdrawal] [Repurchase] [Repurchase Request Rejection] thereunder”. Upon receipt of any Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection by the Special Servicer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Special Servicer shall be deemed to be the recipient of such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, and the Special Servicer shall comply with the notice procedures set forth in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.03(a) with respect to such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection.

No Person that is required to provide a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) (a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider”) shall be required to provide any information in a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. Each Loan Purchase Agreement will provide that (i) any Rule 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) is so provided only to assist the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor and 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 Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) by a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider in a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Rule 15Ga-1 Notice Provider may have with respect to the related Loan Purchase Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice.

On or before the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver to the Master Servicer a copy of each Loan Purchase Agreement, which the Master Servicer shall provide to each Sub-Servicer.

(b) Subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated in this Section 2.03, and further subject to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement, failure of such Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver the documents referred to in clauses (1)(A), (2), (7), (8), (18) and (19) in the definition of “Mortgage File” in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement for any Mortgage Loan shall be deemed a Material Document Defect; provided, however, that no Document Defect (except a deemed Material Document Defect described above) shall be considered to be a Material Document Defect unless the document with respect to which the Document Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the lender’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation.

(c) In connection with any repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for, a Mortgage Loan pursuant to 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 them of a receipt executed by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents (including, without limitation, the Servicing

-99-

File), and all Escrow Payments and reserve funds, pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee in the same manner, but only if the respective documents have been previously assigned or endorsed to the Trustee, and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which such documents were previously assigned to the Trustee or as otherwise reasonably requested to effect the retransfer and reconveyance of the Mortgage Loan and the security thereof to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee; provided that such tender by the Trustee shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the requirements for repurchase or substitution have been satisfied. The Master Servicer shall, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to, prepare, execute and deliver in its own name, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, the endorsements and assignments contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), and such other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to transfer title to an REO Property in connection with the repurchase of, or substitution for, an REO Mortgage Loan and the Trustee shall execute and deliver any powers of attorney necessary to permit the Master Servicer to do so; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or any of its agents or subcontractors.

(d) The related Loan Purchase Agreement provides the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, respecting any Document Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

Section 3.01 Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer; Administration of the Mortgage Loans.

(a) The Master Servicer (with respect to the Performing Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans), each as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans and the Companion Loans on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders or, with respect to each Whole Loan, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Holders as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender, subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreements) as determined in the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in accordance with: (i) any and all applicable laws; (ii) the express terms of this Agreement, the respective Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans and, in the case of the Whole Loans, the related Intercreditor Agreement; and (iii) to the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicing Standard. To the extent consistent with the foregoing and subject to any express limitations set forth in this Agreement and any related Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans and the Companion Loans. Subject only to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or, in the case of the Master Servicer only, through sub-servicers (subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 3.01 and to Section 3.02 of this Agreement), to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem consistent with the Servicing Standard and, in its judgment exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder (as a

-111-

collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, in the case of a Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender, subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreements), including, without limitation, with respect to each Mortgage Loan and Companion Loan, (A) to prepare, execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Companion Loan Holders, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian or either of them: (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien on each Mortgaged Property and related collateral; (ii) subject to Section 3.07, Section 3.09, Section 3.10 and Section 3.24 of this Agreement, any modifications, waivers, consents or amendments to or with respect to any documents contained in the related Mortgage File or defeasance of the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; and (iii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans (and related Companion Loans) and the Mortgaged Properties; and (B) to direct, manage, prosecute and/or defend any action, suit or proceeding of any kind filed in the name of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in their respective capacity on behalf of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian or the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall modify, amend, waive or otherwise consent to any change of the terms of any Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan except under the circumstances described in Section 3.07, Section 3.09, Section 3.10 and Section 3.24 of this Agreement or in Section 3.03 of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans and the Companion Loans in accordance with applicable law and the terms hereof and the Intercreditor Agreements and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby.

Subject to Section 3.11 of this Agreement, the Trustee shall, upon the receipt of a written request of a Servicing Officer, execute and deliver to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer any powers of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit AA-1 to this Agreement or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer (in the case of the Master Servicer) or Exhibit AA-2 to this Agreement or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Special Servicer (in the case of the Special Servicer), as applicable, and other documents reasonably acceptable to the Trustee prepared by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer and necessary or appropriate (as certified in such written request) to enable the Master Servicer and Special Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Subservicer shall, without the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Custodian’s, as applicable, written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Custodian’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity; or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian to be registered to do business in any state. Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and any Subservicer shall indemnify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian for any and all costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian, as applicable, in connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or its agents or subcontractors, as applicable.

-112-

(b) Unless otherwise provided in the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall apply any partial principal prepayment received on a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan on a date other than a Due Date, to the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date immediately following the date of receipt of such partial principal prepayment. Unless otherwise provided in the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall apply any amounts received on “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) (which shall not be redeemed by the Master Servicer prior to the maturity thereof) in respect of such a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan being defeased pursuant to its terms to the principal balance of and interest on such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan as of the Due Date immediately following the receipt of such amounts. If with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan) the related Loan Documents permit the lender, at its option, prior to an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan), to apply amounts held in any reserve account as a prepayment or to hold such amounts in a reserve account, the Master Servicer shall hold such amounts in the applicable reserve account and may not apply such amounts as a prepayment until the occurrence of an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan); provided that any such amounts may be used, if permitted under the related Loan Documents, to defease the related Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan) or, upon an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan), to prepay the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan).

Any such sub-servicing agreement may permit the sub-servicer to delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 3.01(c). The Master Servicer shall pay the servicing fees of any Sub-Servicer. Any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Master Servicer shall provide that it may be assumed by the Trustee, if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Master Servicer or by any successor Master Servicer without cost or obligation to the assuming party or the Trust Fund, upon the assumption by such party of the obligations of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02. The Special Servicer may not enter into sub-servicing agreements.

Any sub-servicing agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans and/or Whole Loans involving a sub-servicer, shall be deemed to be between the Master Servicer and such sub-servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or

-113-

liabilities with respect to the sub-servicer, except as set forth in Section 3.01(d) of this Agreement and no provision herein may be construed so as to require the Trust Fund to indemnify any such sub-servicer.

(d) If the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer assumes the obligations of the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.02, the Trustee or such successor, as applicable, to the extent necessary to permit the Trustee or such successor, as applicable, to carry out the provisions of Section 7.02, shall, without act or deed on the part of the Trustee or such successor, as applicable, succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01(c) of this Agreement. In such event, the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest therein (but not any liabilities or obligations in respect of acts or omissions of the Master Servicer prior to such deemed assumption) and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to such sub-servicing agreement to the same extent as if such sub-servicing agreement had been assigned to the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer, as applicable, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under such sub-servicing agreement that accrued prior to the succession of the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer, as applicable.

In the event that the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer, assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer, upon request of the Trustee, or such successor Master Servicer, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall at its own expense deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer all documents and records relating to any sub-servicing agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it, if any, and will otherwise use its reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of any sub-servicing agreement to the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer, as applicable.

(e) The parties hereto acknowledge that each Whole Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and recognize the respective rights and obligations of the Trust, as holder of the related Mortgage Loan, and of the related Companion Loan Holder under the Intercreditor Agreement, including: (i) with respect to the allocation of collections on or in respect of such Whole Loan, and the making of remittances, to the Trust, as holder of the related Mortgage Loan, and to the related Companion Loan Holder; (ii) with respect to the allocation of expenses and losses relating to such Whole Loan to the Trust, as holder of the related Mortgage Loan, and to the related Companion Loan Holder and (iii) the consultation rights of the related Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative.

In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and an Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement shall control with respect to the related Whole Loan.

-114-

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) at no time shall the Master Servicer or the Trustee be required to make any P&I Advance on any Companion Loan and (b) if the Mortgage Loan (or the related REO Property) that is part of a Whole Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have any obligation to make any Property Advance on such Whole Loan. If pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Master Servicer or the Trustee does not intend to make a Property Advance with respect to a Whole Loan that the Master Servicer or the Trustee would have made if the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property were still part of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the holder of the related Companion Loan of its intention to no longer make such Property Advances and shall additionally promptly notify such holder of any required Property Advance it would have otherwise made upon becoming aware of the need for such Property Advance. Additionally, at the time the Mortgage Loan relating to a Whole Loan is removed from the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall deliver to the related Companion Loan Holder (or the master servicer of any securitization of the related Companion Loan) (i) a copy of the most recent inspection report and the inspection report for the prior calendar year, (ii) all financial statements collected from the related borrower for the most recent calendar year and the prior calendar year, (iii) a copy of the most recent Appraisal and any other Appraisal done in the prior year and (iv) a copy of all tax and insurance bills for the current calendar year and the prior calendar year.

Section 3.02 Liability of the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding any sub-servicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and any Person acting as sub-servicer (or its agents or subcontractors) or any reference to actions taken through any Person acting as sub-servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans and the Companion Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such sub-servicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person acting as sub-servicer (or its agents or subcontractors) to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans and the Companion Loans. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any sub-servicer providing for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such sub-servicer, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification, but no such agreement for indemnification shall be deemed to limit or modify this Agreement.

Section 3.03 Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

(a) The Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans and the Companion Loans it is obligated

-115-

to service hereunder (including Special Servicing Fees (in the case of the Special Servicer only), Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees (in the case of the Special Servicer only) and any other fees payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer if and to the extent the related Loan Documents require the related Mortgagor to pay such fees), and shall follow the Servicing Standard with respect to such collection procedures; provided that, with respect to each ARD Loan, so long as the related Mortgagor is in compliance with each provision of the related 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 ARD Loan or until the outstanding principal balance of such ARD Loan (exclusive of any portion representing accrued Excess Interest) has been paid in full); provided, further, that, with respect to any ARD Loan, 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 Loan Documents. For clarification, no obligation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect fees from the related Mortgagor will change the obligation of the Master Servicer to pay such fees from general collections or other proceeds in accordance with Section 3.06(a) and Section 3.06A(a) of this Agreement, whether or not such Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees are collected from or paid by the related Mortgagor. The Master Servicer, with respect to the Performing Loans, and the Special Servicer, with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect income statements, rent rolls and other reporting information from Mortgagors (as required under the related Loan Documents). Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) or Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charges in connection with any delinquent Monthly Payment with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to take such actions with respect to the collection of payments on the Mortgage Loans and the Companion Loan as are permitted or required under Section 3.21 of this Agreement.

(b) In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer receives Excess Interest and is aware that it has received Excess Interest on or prior to the Determination Date for any Distribution Date, or receives notice from the related Mortgagor that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer will be receiving Excess Interest on or prior to the Determination Date for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall notify the Certificate Administrator two Business Days prior to such Distribution Date in the CREFC Loan Periodic Update File. 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. The preceding statements shall not, however, be construed to limit the provisions of Section 3.03(a) of this Agreement.

Section 3.04 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts.

(a) With respect to each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of taxes, assessments, ground rents and other similar items that are or may become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property and the status of

-116-

insurance premiums payable with respect thereto. From time to time, to the extent such payments are to be made from escrowed funds, the Master Servicer shall (i) obtain all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums), and (ii) effect payment of all such bills with respect to such Mortgaged Properties prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, in each case employing for such purpose Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan. With respect to non-escrowed payments, when the Master Servicer becomes aware in accordance with the Servicing Standard that a Mortgagor has failed to make any such payment or, with respect to escrowed loans, collections from the Mortgagor are insufficient to pay any such item before the applicable penalty or termination date, the Master Servicer shall advance the amount of any shortfall as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer may in accordance with the Servicing Standard elect (but is not required) to make (and in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan, at the direction of the Special Servicer will be required to make) a payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be a Property Advance with respect to a Mortgage Loan notwithstanding that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined that such a Property Advance would, if advanced, be a Nonrecoverable Property Advance, if making the payment 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, or would remediate any adverse environmental condition or circumstance at the related Mortgaged Property, if, in each instance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that making the payment is in the best interest of the Certificateholders and any related Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if the Certificateholders and such Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender). If the Special Servicer makes such a determination, it shall notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall make such payment from the Collection Account. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties shall, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

(b) The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more segregated custodial accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited within two Business Days after receipt. The Master Servicer shall also deposit into each applicable Escrow Account any amounts representing losses on Permitted Investments to the extent required by Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement and any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are required to be applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan. Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts (except to the extent the related Mortgage Loan requires or permits it to be held in an account that is not an Eligible Account) and shall be entitled, “Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, on behalf of U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the registered Holders of Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-GC8, the Companion Loan

(i) to effect timely payments of items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Loan Documents and in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable;

(ii) to transfer funds to the Collection Account and/or the applicable Whole Loan Custodial Account to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for any Property Advance (with interest thereon at the Advance Rate) relating to Escrow Payments, but only from amounts received with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

(iii) for application to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, and the Servicing Standard;

(iv) to clear and terminate such Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement;

(v) to pay from time to time to the related Mortgagor (a) any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Escrow Account if such income is required to be paid to the related Mortgagor under law or by the terms of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, or otherwise to the Master Servicer and (b) any other funds required to be released to the related Mortgagors pursuant to the related Loan Documents; and

(vi) to remove any funds deposited in an Escrow Account that were not required to be deposited therein.

(c) To the extent that (i) an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Mortgage Loan or a Whole Loan, or (ii) any repairs, capital improvements, actions or remediations are required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of a Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard (which determination may be made on the basis of inquiry to the Mortgagor and this sentence shall in no event be construed to require a physical inspection other than inspections described in Section 3.18 of this Agreement; provided that all deliveries required to be made to Master Servicer under the related Loan Documents of supporting documentation have been made and, if not, the Master Servicer shall report the then current status as a failure) whether the related Mortgagor has failed to perform such obligations under the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan as of the date required under the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan and report any such failure to the Special Servicer, the Companion Loan Holders and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative 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.

to the extent provided herein, Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, assumption application fees and defeasance fees need not be deposited in the Collection Account by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to retain any such Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, assumption application fees and/or defeasance fees received with respect to such Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not deposit any Assumption Fees and Modification Fees received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to any Mortgage Loan into the Collection Account and shall instead apply such fees in accordance with Section 3.14 of this Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer deposits in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Master Servicer shall give written notice to the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer of the location and account number of the Collection Account and shall notify the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer in writing of any subsequent change thereof.

Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (y)(i) through (y)(vii) of the last sentence of the second preceding paragraph with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan related to a Whole Loan), the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day after receipt, remit such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item should not be deposited because of a restrictive endorsement or other appropriate reason.

Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an REO Property that relates to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan related to a Whole Loan) shall initially be deposited by the Special Servicer into the related REO Account (or, at the option of the Special Servicer, remitted by the applicable property manager directly to the Master Servicer) and thereafter remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, all in accordance with Section 3.16 of this Agreement.

(iv) to pay for costs and expenses incurred by the Trust Fund solely with respect to such Whole Loan and related REO Property pursuant to Section 3.10(e) and to pay Liquidation Expenses out of Liquidation Proceeds pursuant to Section 3.11;

The Master Servicer may rely conclusively on any such written statement and shall have no duty to re-calculate the amounts stated therein.

The Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall in all cases have a right prior to the Certificateholders to any funds on deposit in a Whole Loan Custodial Account from time to time for the reimbursement or payment of the Servicing Fees (including investment income), or Special Servicing Compensation, Advances, Advance Interest Amounts and their respective expenses hereunder to the extent such fees, indemnity amounts and expenses are to be reimbursed or paid from amounts on deposit in such Whole Loan Custodial Account pursuant to this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement (and to have such amounts paid directly to third party contractors for any invoices approved by the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable).

Any direction by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to invest funds on deposit in an Investment Account shall be in writing and shall certify that the requested investment is a Permitted Investment which matures at or prior to the time required hereby or is payable on demand. In the case of any Reserve Account, Escrow Account or Lock-Box Account (the “Mortgagor Accounts”), the Master

-132-

Servicer shall act upon the written request of the related Mortgagor or Manager to the extent the Master Servicer is required to do so under the terms of the respective Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan) or related documents, provided that in the absence of appropriate written instructions from the related Mortgagor or Manager meeting the requirements of this Section 3.07, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to, but will be entitled to, direct the investment of funds in such accounts in Permitted Investments. 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 Certificate Administrator (on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders) or in the name of a nominee of the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall have sole control (except with respect to investment direction which shall be in the control of the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with respect to any REO Accounts) as an independent contractor to the Trust Fund) over each such investment and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which shall initially be the Master Servicer), together with any document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Certificate Administrator or its nominee. The Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, any Mortgagor or Manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. The Master Servicer shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment direction of the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, any Mortgagor or Manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. The Special Servicer shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment direction of the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, any Mortgagor or any property manager or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. 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 (or the Special Servicer in the case of REO Accounts, or the Certificate Administrator, in the case of the Certificate Administrator Accounts), shall: (x) 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 (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and (y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer in the case of REO Accounts) that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the related Investment Account.

(b) All income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in any Investment Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer, except with respect to the investment of funds deposited in (i) any Mortgagor Account to the extent required under the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan) or applicable law to be for the benefit of the related Mortgagor, (ii) any REO Account, which shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer or (iii) the Certificate Administrator Accounts, which shall be for the benefit of the Certificate Administrator, and, if held in the Collection Account or REO Account shall be subject to withdrawal by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with Section 3.06 or Section 3.16(b) of this Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer (or with respect to any REO Account, the Special Servicer and, with respect to the Certificate Administrator Accounts, the Certificate Administrator) shall deposit from its own funds into any applicable Investment Account, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted

-133-

Investment immediately upon realization of such loss (except with respect to losses incurred as a result of the related Mortgagor or Manager exercising its power under the related Loan Documents to direct such investment in such Mortgagor Account); provided, however, that the Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may reduce the amount of such payment to the extent it forgoes any investment income in such Investment Account otherwise payable to it. The Master Servicer shall also deposit from its own funds in any Mortgagor Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of Permitted Investments, except to the extent that amounts are invested for the benefit of the Mortgagor under the terms of the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan) or applicable law, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator (in their respective capacities as Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Certificate Administrator, respectively) 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 is not the Person or an Affiliate of the Person maintaining such account hereunder and satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (1) at the time such investment was made and (2) as of the date that is 30 days prior to the 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 Trustee may, and upon the request of Holders of Certificates representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interests of any Class shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. In the event the Trustee takes any such action, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in connection therewith. In the event that the Trustee does not take any such action, the Master Servicer may, but is not obligated to, take such action at its own cost and expense.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that (i) funds held in any Certificate Administrator Account (or any other trust account required to be maintained by the Certificate Administrator hereunder other than (A) the non-interest bearing accounts described in Section 3.06(a)(viii), (B) any account for holding the funds described in the last sentence of Section 4.01(h) of this Agreement and (C) the non-interest bearing accounts described in the third sentence of Section 4.05 of this Agreement) are not insured under the FDIC Transaction Account Guarantee Program after December 31, 2012, and (ii) the then-current rating of the Certificate Administrator by any Rating Agency so requires (as determined by the Certificate Administrator, provided, that any determination by the Certificate Administrator that the then-current rating of the Certificate Administrator by any Rating Agency does not so require shall require the consent of the Depositor), the Certificate Administrator, to the extent funds on deposit in such account are to be held overnight, shall invest such funds only in Permitted Investments that are (A) maintained by one or more institutions other than the Certificate Administrator or its affiliates, (B) rated in the highest rating category of each Rating Agency, and (C) maturing on the related Distribution Date.

Section 3.08 Maintenance of Insurance Policies and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.

(a) The Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, as mortgagee, shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain, to the extent required by each Mortgage Loan and each Companion Loan (except to the extent that the failure to maintain such insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default), and if the Mortgagor does not so maintain, shall itself maintain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances and to the extent the Trustee as mortgagee has an insurable interest and to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates), (i) fire and hazard insurance (and windstorm insurance, if applicable) with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (a) one hundred percent (100%) of the then “full replacement cost” of the improvements and equipment (excluding foundations, footings and excavation costs), without deduction for physical depreciation, and (b) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the related Companion Loan or such greater amount as is necessary to prevent any reduction in such policy by reason of the application of co-insurance provisions and to prevent the Trustee thereunder from being deemed to be a co-insurer and provided such policy shall include a “replacement cost” rider, (ii) insurance providing coverage against 18 months (or such longer period or with such extended period endorsement as provided in the related Mortgage or other Loan Document) of rent interruptions and (iii) such other insurance as is required in the related Mortgage Loan and the related Companion Loan. Subject to Section 3.16 of this Agreement, the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard and with the consent of the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing)), shall cause to be maintained for each REO Property no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Loan Documents (except to the extent that the failure to maintain such insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default); provided that to the extent the Loan Documents require the related Mortgagor to maintain insurance with an insurer rated better than as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”, the Master Servicer may, without a Rating Agency Confirmation or the approval of the Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, permit the related Mortgagor to maintain insurance with an insurer that does not meet the requirements of the Loan Documents so long as the related Mortgagor maintains insurance with an insurer rated at least as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”. All insurance for an REO Property shall be from a Qualified Insurer, if available from a Qualified Insurer, and if not available from a Qualified Insurer, from an insurance provider that is rated the next highest available rating who is offering such insurance at commercially reasonable rates. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts required to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents) shall be deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement or the Whole Loan Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.05A of this Agreement, as applicable, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05, Section 3.05A, Section 3.06 or Section 3.06A of this Agreement. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,

-135-

notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance other than flood insurance or earthquake insurance subject to the conditions set forth below is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained by the Master Servicer other than pursuant to the terms of the related Loan Documents and pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Master Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain, to the extent required by each Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, and if the related Mortgagor does not so maintain, shall itself obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances) and maintain flood insurance in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the related Companion Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan and as is available for the related property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such property is located is participating in such program). If a Mortgaged Property (other than an REO Property) is related to a Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan pursuant to which earthquake insurance is required to be maintained pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain, and if the related Mortgagor does not so maintain will itself obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances and for so long as such insurance continues to be available at commercially reasonable rates) and maintain earthquake insurance in respect thereof, in the amount required by the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan or, if not specified, in-place at origination. If an REO Property (i) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area or (ii) is related to a Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan with respect to which earthquake insurance would be appropriate in accordance with the Servicing Standard and such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates, the Special Servicer will obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances) and maintain flood insurance and/or earthquake insurance in respect thereof providing the same coverage as described in this Section 3.08(a). Out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in maintaining insurance policies pursuant to this Section 3.08 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance and shall be reimbursable to the Master Servicer with interest at the Advance Rate. The Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with respect to REO Properties) agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, claims under each related insurance policy maintained by it pursuant to this Section 3.08(a) in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy and to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or to permit recovery thereunder. All insurance policies required to be maintained by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder shall name the Trustee or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee, as loss payee, and shall be issued by Qualified Insurers, if available from a Qualified Insurer, and if not available from a Qualified Insurer, from an insurance provider that is rated the next highest available rating who is offering such insurance at commercially reasonable rates. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (A) the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any Mortgaged Property and the Special Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any REO Property, in each case unless such insurance is

-136-

required to be maintained under the related Loan Documents and is available at commercially reasonable rates; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any obligation to maintain such earthquake or environmental insurance policy required under the related Loan Documents if the originator of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan waived compliance with such insurance requirements (and if the applicable Master Servicer does not cause the Mortgagor to maintain or does not itself maintain such earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any Mortgaged Property, the applicable Special Servicer shall have the right, but not the duty, to obtain, at the Trust’s expense, earthquake or environmental insurance on any Mortgaged Property securing a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property so long as such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates); (B) with respect to the Master Servicer’s obligation to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain such insurance, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation beyond using its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause any Mortgagor to maintain the insurance required to be maintained or that the lender is entitled to reasonably require, subject to applicable law, under the related Loan Documents; and (C) in making determinations as to the availability of insurance at commercially reasonable rates or otherwise, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, be entitled to rely, at its own expense, on insurance consultants in making such determination and any such determinations by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, need not be made more frequently than annually but in any event shall be made at the approximate date on which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives notice of the renewal, replacement or cancellation of coverage.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, will not be required to maintain, and shall not cause a Mortgagor to be in default with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to obtain, all risk casualty insurance which does not contain any carve out for terrorist or similar acts, if, and only if, the Special Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the failure to maintain such insurance is an Acceptable Insurance Default; provided that, during the period that the Special Servicer is evaluating such insurance hereunder, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain terrorism insurance and shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder as a result of such failure and such failure shall not be a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer. The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer of each determination under this paragraph.

(b) (i) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket insurance policy insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgaged Properties (other than REO Properties) as to which the related Mortgagor has not maintained insurance required by the related Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, related Whole Loan (other than any Mortgagor that is required under the related Loan Documents to maintain insurance with an insurer rated better than as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer” that maintains insurance with an insurer rated at least as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”) or the Special Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket insurance policy insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the REO Properties, as required under this Agreement, as the case may be, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations concerning the maintenance of insurance coverage set forth in Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement. Any such blanket

-137-

insurance policy shall be maintained with a Qualified Insurer. A blanket insurance policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, in the event that (i) there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement, and (ii) there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained, immediately deposit into the Collection Account or, if applicable, related Whole Loan Custodial Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket 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 Whole Loan, or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, as applicable, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, respectively, agree to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholder and any related Companion Loan Holder, claims under any such blanket policy which it maintains in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy and to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or permit recovery thereunder.

(ii) If the Master Servicer causes any Mortgaged Property (other than any REO Property) or the Special Servicer causes any REO Property to be covered by a master force placed insurance policy and such policy shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer and provide no less coverage in scope and amount for such Mortgaged Property or REO Property than the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement, then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations to maintain insurance pursuant to Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, in the event that (i) there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.08(a), and (ii) there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained, immediately deposit into the Collection Account or, if applicable, related Whole Loan Custodial Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under such policy because of such deductible to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan(s) related thereto, or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard.

(iii) In either case, if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, causes any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by such “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 as a Property Advance. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with any claim under an insurance policy described above (whether by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer) shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance.

-138-

(c) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each maintain a fidelity bond in such form as is consistent with the Servicing Standard and in such amounts that are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its respective Affiliates has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. In addition, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with its obligations to service the Mortgage Loans and Companion Loans hereunder in such form as is consistent with the Servicing Standard and in such amounts as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long-term unsecured debt rating of the Master Servicer (or its corporate parent) or the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent) is not in any event less than “A3” as rated by Xxxxx’x and “A-” as rated by Fitch, respectively, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may self-insure for the fidelity bond and errors and omissions coverage otherwise required above. The Master Servicer shall cause each and every sub-servicer for it to maintain or cause to be maintained by an agent or contractor servicing any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan on behalf of such sub-servicer, a fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy which satisfy the requirements for the fidelity bond and the errors and omissions policy to be maintained by the Master Servicer to comply with the foregoing. All fidelity bonds and policies of errors and omissions insurance obtained under this Section 3.08(c) shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer.

Section 3.09 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale and Due-On-Encumbrance Clauses; Assumption Agreements; Defeasance Provisions.

(a) Upon receipt of any request of a waiver in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on encumbrance provision, the Master Servicer, with respect to Performing Loans, and the Special Servicer, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, shall promptly analyze such waiver, including the preparation of written materials in connection with such analysis, and will close the related transaction, subject to the consent of the Special Servicer (in the case of Performing Loans) and the consultation and/or consent rights (if any) of the Controlling Class Representative or the consultation rights of any related Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) as provided in this Section 3.09(a) and as otherwise provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, and subject to Section 3.09(b), Section 3.21, Section 3.24, Section 3.25 and Section 3.27 provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not enter into any such agreement to the extent that any terms thereof would result in (i) the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding or (ii) create any lien on a Mortgaged Property that is senior to, or on parity with, the lien of the related Mortgage. With respect to all Performing Loans, the Master Servicer or, in the case of Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, enforce the restrictions contained in the related Mortgage on transfers or further encumbrances of the related Mortgaged Property and on transfers of interests in the related Mortgagor, unless following its receipt of a request of a waiver in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision the Master Servicer (with the written consent of the Special Servicer, which consent shall be deemed given if not denied

-139-

within 15 Business Days (or such other time as required by the related Intercreditor Agreement, but in no event less than 5 Business Days after the time period set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement for review by any related Companion Loan Holder) after the Special Servicer’s receipt (unless earlier objected to) of the written recommendation and analysis of the Master Servicer for such action and any additional information reasonably available to the Master Servicer that the Special Servicer may reasonably request for the analysis of such request, which recommendation and information may be delivered in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that the waiver of such restrictions would be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Promptly after the Master Servicer (with the written consent of the Special Servicer to the extent required in the preceding sentence) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has made any such determination, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each other party to this Agreement and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination; provided that, with respect to all Mortgage Loans and Whole Loans, the Special Servicer shall, prior to consenting to such a proposed action of the Master Servicer, and prior to itself taking such an action, obtain the written consent of the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), which consent shall be deemed given 10 Business Days after receipt (unless earlier objected to) by the Controlling Class Representative of the written recommendation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such action and any additional information the Controlling Class Representative may reasonably request for the analysis of such request, which recommendation and information may be delivered in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to Controlling Class Representative and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. In addition, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive any “due-on-encumbrance” provision unless (1) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have received a prior written Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action or (2) the related Mortgage Loan (including a Mortgage Loan related to a Whole Loan) (A) represents less than 2% the principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, (B) has a principal balance that is equal to or less than $20,000,000, (C) has a Loan-to-Value Ratio equal to or less than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt), (D) has a Debt Service Coverage Ratio equal to or greater than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, and the principal amount of the proposed additional lien) and (E) is not one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool based on principal balance (although no such Rating Agency Confirmation will be required if such Mortgage Loan has a principal balance less than $5,000,000). Further, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive any “due-on-sale” provision unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have received a prior written Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action unless the related Mortgage Loan (including a Mortgage Loan related to a Whole Loan) (A) represents less than 5% the principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, (B) has a principal balance that is equal to or less than $35,000,000 and (C) is not one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool based on principal balance (although no such Rating Agency Confirmation will be required if such Mortgage Loan has a principal balance less than $10,000,000). With respect to each Companion Loan, no waiver of a due-on-sale or

-140-

due-on-encumbrance provision will be effective unless the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, first consults with the related Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative (if and to the extent required under the applicable Intercreditor Agreement).

The Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement) and, with respect to a Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder, of any assumption or substitution agreement executed pursuant to this Section 3.09(a) and shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement.

In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency pursuant to this Section 3.09(a), the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver a Review Package to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 11.13 of this Agreement.

Further, subject to the terms of the related Loan Documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that all costs in connection with any assumption or encumbrance, including any arising from seeking a Rating Agency Confirmation, are paid by the related Mortgagor. To the extent not collected from the related Mortgagor after the use of such efforts, any rating agency charges in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance (or as an Additional Trust Fund Expense if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance).

To the extent permitted by the applicable Loan Documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may charge the related Mortgagor a fee in connection with any enforcement or waiver contemplated in this subsection (a); provided that any such fee shall be applied as if it were a Modification Fee and/or Assumption Fee, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Nothing in this Section 3.09 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 lien or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

(c) In connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.09, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend, and no assumption or substitution agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.09(a) of this Agreement shall contain any terms that are different from, any term of any Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan or the related Note, other than pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement.

-141-

(d) With respect to any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan which permits release of Mortgaged Properties through defeasance, and to the extent consistent with the terms of the related Loan Documents:

(i) In the event such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan requires that the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee purchase the required “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the Master Servicer, an accommodation Mortgagor pursuant to clause (v) below or the Mortgagor shall, at the Mortgagor’s expense (to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents), purchase or cause the purchase of such obligations in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan and deliver to the Master Servicer, in the case of the Mortgagor, or in the case of the Master Servicer, hold the same on behalf of the Trust Fund and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder; provided that, subject to the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall not accept the amounts paid by the related Mortgagor to effect defeasance until acceptable “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) have been identified, in each case which are acceptable as defeasance collateral under the then most recently published current guidelines of the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans originated or acquired by GSMC that are subject to defeasance, GSMC has transferred to a third party the right to establish or designate the successor borrower and to purchase or cause to be purchased the related defeasance collateral (“Loan Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations”). In the event the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan that provides for Loan Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations in the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) business days of receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to GSMC’s assignee in the case of the Mortgage Loans for which GSMC is the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Until such time as GSMC provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Loan Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations as to which it is the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be delivered to Defeasance Holding Company, LLC, 00000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Asset Manager, Tel: 000-000-0000, Fax: 000-000-0000, E-Mail: xxx-xxxx@xxxxxx.xxx.

(ii) The Master Servicer shall require, to the extent the related Loan Documents grant the mortgagee discretion to so require, delivery of an Opinion of Counsel (which shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents) to the effect that the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, has a first priority security interest in the defeasance deposit and the “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), and the assignment thereof is valid and enforceable; such opinion, together with any other certificates or documents to be required in connection with such defeasance shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Master Servicer.

-142-

(iii) The Master Servicer shall obtain, to the extent the related Loan Documents grant the mortgagee discretion to so obtain, a certificate (which shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents) from an Independent certified public accountant certifying that the “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), comply with the requirements of the related Loan Agreement or Mortgage.

(iv) To the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents, prior to permitting release of any Mortgaged Properties through defeasance, the Master Servicer shall (at the Mortgagor’s expense) obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation unless the subject Mortgage Loan at the time of such defeasance is (x) not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance, (y) a Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance equal to or less than $35,000,000 and (z) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the Stated Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans.

(v) If the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan permits the related Mortgagor or the lender or its designee to cause an accommodation Mortgagor to assume such defeased obligations, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the Mortgagor to, establish at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense (and shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to consent to such assumption) a special purpose bankruptcy-remote entity to assume such obligations, as to which the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator has received a Rating Agency Confirmation (if such confirmation is required pursuant to the then most recently published guidelines of the Rating Agencies).

(vi) To the extent consistent with the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall require the related Mortgagor to pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defeasance of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan. In the event that the Mortgagor is not required to pay any such costs and expenses under the terms of the Loan Documents, such costs and expenses shall be Additional Trust Fund Expenses.

(vii) In no event shall the Master Servicer have liability to any party hereto or beneficiary hereof for obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation (or conditioning approval of defeasance on the delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation) or for imposing conditions to approval of a defeasance on the satisfaction of conditions that are consistent with the Servicing Standard but are not required under Rating Agency guidelines (provided that this shall not protect the Master Servicer from any liability that may be imposed as a result of the violation of applicable law or the Loan Documents).

(viii) In the event such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan requires defeasance collateral that is “AAA” rated, such ratings requirement shall be deemed satisfied as long as the proposed defeasance collateral (a) is rated “AAA” (or the equivalent thereof) by any NRSRO and (b) otherwise satisfies the requirements of defeasance collateral under the related Loan Documents.

-143-

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.09, without any other approval, the Master Servicer (for Performing Loans) or the Special Servicer (for Specially Serviced Loans) may grant a Mortgagor’s request for consent to subject the related Mortgaged Property to an immaterial easement, right of way or similar agreement for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another purpose and may consent to subordination of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan to such easement, right of way or similar agreement, provided that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, (i) shall have determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such easement, right of way or similar agreement will not materially and adversely affect the operation or value of such Mortgaged Property or the Trust Fund’s interest in the Mortgaged Property and (ii) shall have determined that such easement, right of way or similar agreement will not cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may rely on an Opinion of Counsel in making such determination.

Section 3.10 Appraisal Reductions; Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

(a) Promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain an updated Appraisal, the costs of which shall be a Property Advance (or as an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance) to be advanced by the Master Servicer; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain an updated Appraisal of any Mortgaged Property with respect to which there exists an Appraisal which is less than nine months old unless the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such previously obtained Appraisal is materially inaccurate. With respect to Mortgage Loans for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and still exists, the Special Servicer shall obtain annual letter updates to any updated Appraisal. Any Appraisal prepared in order to determine the Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to a Whole Loan shall be delivered by the Special Servicer, upon request, to each related Companion Loan Holder.

The Certificate Principal Amount of each of the Certificates shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining the identity of the Non-Reduced Certificates and the Controlling Class, as well as the occurrence of a Control Termination Event) as of any date of determination to the extent of the Appraisal Reduction Amount(s) allocated to such Class on the preceding Distribution Date. The aggregate Appraisal Reduction Amount for any Distribution Date shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Principal Amounts of the Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class G Certificates; second, to the Class F Certificates; third, to the Class E Certificates; fourth, to the Class D Certificates; fifth, to the Class C Certificates; sixth, to the Class B Certificates; seventh, to the Class A-S Certificates; and finally, pro rata to the (i) Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) Class A-2 Certificates, (iii) Class A-3 Certificates, (iv) Class A-4 Certificates and (v) Class A-AB Certificates, based on their respective Certificate Principal Amounts (provided in each case that no Certificate Principal Amount in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero). With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for the purposes of determining the Non-Reduced Certificates or the Controlling Class, as well as the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property shall be determined on an “as-is” basis.

-144-

The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and Master Servicer of the determination of any such Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify in writing holders of each Class of Control Eligible Certificates of the determination of any such Appraisal Reduction Amount.

Any Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to each Whole Loan shall be allocated to the related Mortgage Loan and the related Companion Loan on a pro rata and pari passu basis in accordance with the respective outstanding principal balances of such related Mortgage Loan and the related Companion Loan.

The Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Principal Amount of any Class of Certificates that is or would be determined to no longer be the Controlling Class (such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) as a result of an allocation of an Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of such Class shall have the right to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination and, at their sole expense, obtain a second Appraisal of any Mortgage Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). The Requesting Holders will be required to cause the Appraisal to be prepared on an “as-is” basis by an Appraiser in accordance with MAI standards. The Requesting Holders shall provide the Special Servicer with notice of their intent to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination within 10 days of the Requesting Holders’ receipt of written notice of the determination of such Appraisal Reduction Amount.

An Appraised-Out Class shall be entitled to continue to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class until 10 days following its receipt of written notice of the determination of an Appraisal Reduction Amount, unless the Requesting Holders provide written notice of their intent to challenge such Appraisal Reduction Amount to the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator within such 10-day period pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph. If the Requesting Holders provide such notice, then the Appraised-Out Class shall be entitled to continue to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class until the earliest of (i) 120 days following the related Appraisal Reduction Event, unless the Requesting Holders provide the second appraisal within such 120-day period, (ii) the determination by the Special Servicer (described below) that a recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is not warranted or that such recalculation does not result in the Appraised-Out Class remaining the Controlling Class and (iii) the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event. After the Appraised-Out Class is no longer entitled to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class, the rights of the Controlling Class shall be exercised by the Class of Control Eligible Certificates immediately senior to such Appraised-Out Class, if any, unless a recalculation results in the reinstatement of the Appraised-Out Class as the Controlling Class.

In addition to the foregoing, the Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Principal Amount of any Appraised-Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order an additional Appraisal of any Mortgage Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred if an event has occurred at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties that would have a material effect on its Appraised Value, and the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Appraisal is delivered within 30 days from receipt of such Holders’ written request and

-145-

shall ensure that such Appraisal is prepared on an “as-is” basis by an Appraiser in accordance with MAI standards; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Appraisal if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that no events at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties have occurred that would have a material effect on such Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties.

Upon receipt of an Appraisal provided by, or requested by, Holders of an Appraised-Out Class pursuant to this Section and any other information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer reasonably required to calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such additional Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted and, if so warranted, shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such additional Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class. The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver notice to the Certificate Administrator of any such determination and recalculation, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

Appraisals that are permitted to be presented by, or obtained by the Special Servicer at the request of, Holders of an Appraised-Out Class shall be in addition to any Appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with the Servicing Standard or this Agreement without regard to any appraisal requests made by any Holder of an Appraised-Out Class.

(b) In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Loan Documents or other acquisition, the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 3.20 of this Agreement shall pay the out-of-pocket costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent permitted by Section 3.06(a)(ii) of this Agreement.

Subject to Section 3.21 of this Agreement, if the Special Servicer elects to proceed with a non-judicial foreclosure in accordance with the laws of the state where the Mortgaged Property is located, the Special Servicer shall not be required to pursue a deficiency judgment against the related Mortgagor or any other liable party if the laws of the state do not permit such a deficiency judgment after a non-judicial foreclosure or if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the likely recovery if a deficiency judgment is obtained will not be sufficient to warrant the cost, time, expense and/or exposure of pursuing the deficiency judgment and such determination is evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and any related Companion Loan Holder (or, if applicable, its Companion Loan Holder Representative).

-146-

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, to a co-trustee or to its nominee (which shall not include the Master Servicer but may be a single member limited liability company owned by the Trust and managed by the Special Servicer) or a separate trustee or co-trustee on behalf of the Trustee as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, in each case, on behalf of the holders of the Certificates and, if applicable, and the related Companion Loan Holders. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, the related Mortgage Loan shall (except for purposes of Section 9.01) be considered to be an REO Mortgage Loan held in the Trust Fund until such time as the related REO Property shall be sold by the Trust Fund and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not acquire for the benefit of the Trust Fund any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.10 unless either:

(i) such personal property is (in the good faith judgment of the Special Servicer) incident to real property (within the meaning of Code Section 856(e)(1)) so acquired by the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trust Fund; or

(ii) the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trust Fund or, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership or membership interest or other equity interest in any Mortgagor pledged pursuant to any pledge agreement, unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that the holding of such partnership or membership interest or other equity interest by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund, or, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holders obtain title to a Mortgaged Property as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership or membership interest in any Mortgagor pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of a Mortgaged Property, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action,

-147-

the Custodian, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders or, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holders, would be considered to hold title to, or be a mortgagee-in-possession of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an updated environmental assessment report prepared by an Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits, that:

(i) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole) to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith; and

(ii) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any Hazardous Materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any currently effective federal, state or local law or regulation, or that, if any such Hazardous Materials are present for which such action could be required, after consultation with an environmental consultant, it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender) to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property as could be required by such law or regulation. In the event that the environmental assessment first obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to a Mortgaged Property indicates that such Mortgaged Property may not be in compliance with applicable environmental laws or that Hazardous Materials may be present but does not definitively establish such fact, the Special Servicer shall cause such further environmental tests to be conducted by an Independent Person who regularly conducts such tests as the Special Servicer shall deem prudent to protect the interests of Certificateholders and any related Companion Loan Holder. Any such tests shall be deemed part of the environmental assessment obtained by the Special Servicer for purposes of this Section 3.10.

In the event that the Special Servicer seeks to obtain title to a Mortgaged Property on behalf of the Trust Fund and any related Companion Loan Holder, the Special Servicer may, in its discretion, establish a single member limited liability company with the Trust Fund and any related Companion Loan Holder as the sole owner to hold title to such Mortgaged Property.

(f) The environmental assessment contemplated by Section 3.10(e) of this Agreement shall be prepared within three months of the determination that such assessment is required by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits for purchasers of commercial property where the Mortgaged Property is located, as determined by the Special Servicer in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and, if applicable, any secured creditor impaired property policy issued on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including that the environmental assessment identify any potential pollution conditions (as defined in the environmental insurance policy) with respect to the related

-148-

Mortgaged Property). The Master Servicer shall advance the cost of preparation of such environmental assessments unless the Master Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence in the manner set forth in Section 3.06 of this Agreement. Copies of any environmental assessment prepared pursuant to Section 3.10(e) of this Agreement shall be provided to the Certificateholder of any Regular Certificates and any related Companion Loan Holder upon written request to the Special Servicer.

(g) If the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(e)(i) of this Agreement that a Mortgaged Property is not in compliance with applicable environmental laws but that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Companion Holder constituted a single lender, to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith, or if the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(e)(ii) of this Agreement that the circumstances referred to therein relating to Hazardous Materials are present but that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Companion Holder constituted a single lender, to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of Hazardous Materials affecting such Mortgaged Property as is required by law or regulation, the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Companion Loan Holder, as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Companion Holder constituted a single lender. The Master Servicer shall pay the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation from the Collection Account.

(h) The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any abandoned and/or foreclosed properties which require reporting to the IRS and shall provide the Master Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan which is abandoned or foreclosed and the Master Servicer shall report to the IRS and the related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via IRS Form 1099C, 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, the Certificate Administrator and, if affected, to any related Companion Loan Holder.

Section 3.11 Trustee and Certificate Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan or the receipt by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian and, if affected, the related Companion Loan Holder by delivery of a certification (which certification 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 Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and

-149-

shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Trust Fund.

From time to time upon request of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly cause the Custodian to release the Mortgage File (or any portion thereof) designated in such Request for Release to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. Upon return of the foregoing to the Custodian, or in the event of a liquidation or conversion of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan into an REO Property, receipt by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan or Whole 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 Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan has become an REO Property, the Custodian shall deliver a copy of the Request for Release to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.

Within three (3) Business Days, after receipt of written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Special Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents prepared by the Special Servicer, its agents or attorneys and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, 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 Loan or Whole Loan, or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement 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 or other security agreement, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.

-151-

Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association and each holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall, and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association hereby agrees, and each such holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right by its acceptance of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall be deemed to have agreed, in connection with any transfer of such Excess Servicing Fee Right effected by such Person, to indemnify the Certificateholders, the Trust, the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Registrar and the Special Servicer against any liability that may result if such transfer is not exempt from registration and/or qualification under the Securities Act or other applicable federal and state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws or in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. By its acceptance of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have agreed not to use or disclose any information received in connection with its acquisition and holding of such Excess Servicing Fee Right in any manner that could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of such Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Master Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder, including all fees of any sub-servicers retained by it.

The Master Servicer will not be entitled to retain any portion of Excess Interest paid on any Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of a Whole Loan, in no event shall Servicing Fees with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including an REO Mortgage Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Companion Loan, and in no event shall Servicing Fees with respect to the related Companion Loan (including an REO Companion Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Pool. This paragraph is in no way intended to limit the rights, if any, of the Master Servicer under the related Intercreditor

-152-

Agreement to seek payment of unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to any Companion Loan from the related Companion Loan Holder.

(b) As compensation for its activities hereunder, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall be entitled with respect to each Mortgage Loan to its portion of the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee, and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled with respect to each Mortgage Loan to its portion of the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee. The Certificate Administrator shall pay the Trustee the Trustee’s portion of the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee includes all routine expenses of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Administrator and the Authenticating Agent. Each of the Trustee’s and Certificate Administrator’s rights to the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

(c) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan (including each Companion Loan that is included as part of each Whole Loan) and each Interest Accrual Period, to the Special Servicing Fee, which shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and/or, in the case of a Whole Loan or portion thereof, the related Whole Loan Custodial Account as set forth in Section 3.06(a) and Section 3.06A.

In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive, as additional servicing compensation, (i) 50% of any Excess Modification Fees with respect to a modification, waiver, extension or amendment of a Performing Loan agreed to by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement, (ii) 100% of any Excess Modification Fees with respect to a modification, waiver, extension or amendment of a Specially Serviced Loan agreed to by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement, (iii) 100% of any Excess Assumption Fees with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, (iv) 50% of any Excess Assumption Fees with respect to a Performing Loan agreed to by the Special Servicer, (v) 100% of Ancillary Fees (other than fees for insufficient or returned checks) and assumption application fees actually received from Mortgagors on Specially Serviced Loans, (vi) 100% of Consent Fees with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, (vii) 50% of any Consent Fees with respect to a Performing Loan agreed to by the Special Servicer, (viii) 100% of Excess Penalty Charges paid by the Mortgagors with respect to any Mortgage Loan accrued during the period such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, (ix) any interest or other income earned on deposits in the REO Accounts and (x) in the case of each Mortgage Loan, 50% of any extension fee actually paid by the related Mortgagor in connection with the Mortgagor’s option to exercise the related Anticipated Repayment Date option pursuant to the related Loan Documents (if applicable).

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Special Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder.

The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on the applicable Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Loan. The

-153-

Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Specially Serviced Loan again becomes a Corrected Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns: (1) it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans that became Corrected Loans prior to the time of that termination or resignation except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if any such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; and (2) it will receive any Workout Fees payable in respect of any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan that was, at the time of that termination or resignation, a Specially Serviced Loan as to which the resigning or terminated Special Servicer had cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by such 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 Loan solely because the Mortgagor had not had sufficient time to make three consecutive timely Monthly Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan based on such modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by the terminated or resigning Special Servicer as a result of the Mortgagor making such three consecutive timely Monthly Payments. In either case, the successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees. The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Liquidation Fee payable out of the Liquidation Proceeds prior to the deposit of the Net Liquidation Proceeds in the Collection Account or the Whole Loan Custodial Account, as applicable. However, no Liquidation Fee will be payable in connection with, or out of, Liquidation Proceeds as set forth in the final two provisos of the definition of “Liquidation Fee” herein. 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 any specific collections or proceeds on any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan. For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.12(c), a termination and removal of the Special Servicer under Section 6.08 of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a termination without cause.

If at any time a Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to collect the amount of any Special Servicing Fee, Liquidation Fee and/or Workout Fee from the related Mortgagor pursuant to the related Loan Documents, including exercising all remedies available under such Loan Documents that would be in accordance with the Servicing Standard, specifically taking into account the costs or likelihood of success of any such collection efforts and the Realized Loss that would be incurred by Certificateholders in connection therewith as opposed to the Realized Loss that would be incurred as a result of not collecting such amounts from the related Mortgagor.

The Special Servicer will not be entitled to retain any portion of Excess Interest paid on any Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of a Whole Loan, in no event shall Special Servicing Compensation with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including an REO Mortgage Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Companion Loan, and in no event shall Special Servicing Compensation with respect to the related Companion Loan (including an REO Companion Loan) be payable out

-154-

of payments and other collections with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Pool. This paragraph is in no way intended to limit the rights of the Special Servicer under the related Intercreditor Agreement to seek payment of unpaid Special Servicing Compensation with respect to any Companion Loan from the related Companion Loan Holder.

(d) The Master Servicer, Special Servicer the Certificate Administrator and Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Fund for the costs and expenses incurred by them in the performance of their duties under this Agreement which are “unanticipated expenses incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(iii). Such expenses shall include, by way of example and not by way of limitation, environmental assessments, Appraisals in connection with foreclosure, the fees and expenses of any administrative or judicial proceeding and expenses expressly identified as reimbursable in Section 3.06(a)(vi) of this Agreement.

(e) No provision of this Agreement or of the Certificates shall require the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder or thereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, repayment of such funds would not be ultimately recoverable from late payments, Net Condemnation Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds and other collections on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans or Whole Loan (to the extent recovery is permitted from a Whole Loan hereunder) or from adequate indemnity from other assets comprising the Trust Fund against such risk or liability.

If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee receives a request or inquiry from a Mortgagor, any Certificateholder or any other Person the response to which would, in the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Operating Advisor’s commercially reasonable judgment or the Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s good faith business judgment require the assistance of Independent legal counsel or other consultant to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee the cost of which would not be an expense of the Trust Fund hereunder, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be required to take any action in response to such request or inquiry unless the Mortgagor or such Certificateholder or such other Person, as applicable, makes arrangements for the payment of the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Operating Advisor’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s expenses associated with such counsel (including, without limitation, posting an advance payment for such expenses) satisfactory to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee as the case may be, in its sole discretion. Unless such arrangements have been made, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee as the case may be, shall have no liability to any Person for the failure to respond to such request or inquiry.

(f) With respect to each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, without charge and within two Business

In addition, if the related Balloon Payment is received or the 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Loan is otherwise paid off, if a Liquidation Event otherwise occurs with respect to the 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Loan, or if the Mortgaged Property related to the 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Loan becomes an REO Property, then (no later than the Master Servicer Remittance Date corresponding to the Prepayment Period in which such event occurred) the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Account and deposit, or deliver to the Certificate Administrator for deposit, in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account all amounts on deposit in the 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Account (exclusive of any interest or other income earned on funds in the 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Account that may be withdrawn by the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 3.07 of this Agreement).

-158-

(b) In connection with the operation of the provisions of this Section 3.14, not later than the 25th day of the month in which each Distribution Date occurs (beginning with the 25th day of the month following the first Collection Period in which an Additional Trust Fund Expense, Advance or Advance Interest Amount is incurred), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Special Servicer a report in the form reasonably agreed to by both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer setting forth information regarding (1) the amount of Penalty Charges, Modification Fees and Assumption Fees collected by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, and (2) the related loan expenses and other amounts paid to the Trust from such Penalty Charges, Modification Fees and Assumption Fees, in each case for the related Collection Period or other reporting period as agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Master Servicer shall respond promptly to any inquiries of the Special Servicer with respect to the contents of any such report and shall provide any supporting information with respect thereto that is reasonably requested by the Special Servicer.

Section 3.15 Access to Certain Documentation. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative (but only prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Consultation Termination Event), the Operating Advisor, the Underwriters, the Depositor, any Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders that are, in the case of any Certificateholder or Companion Loan Holder, federally insured financial institutions, the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC and the OCC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such boards and such corporations, and any other governmental or regulatory body to the jurisdiction of which any Certificateholder or Companion Loan Holder is subject, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, FDIC, OCC or any such governmental or regulatory body, such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer (which access shall be limited, in the case of the Companion Loan Holders or any regulatory authority seeking such access in respect of the Companion Loan Holders, to records relating to the Companion Loans). Nothing in this Section 3.15 shall detract from the obligation of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgagors, and the failure of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.15 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.15.

In connection with providing or granting any information or access pursuant to the prior paragraph to a Certificateholder, a Companion Loan Holder or any regulatory authority that may exercise authority over a Certificateholder or Companion Loan Holder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may each require payment from such Certificateholder or Companion Loan Holder of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of providing such information or access, including copy charges and reasonable fees for employee time and for space; provided that no charge may be made if such information or access was required to be given or made available without charge under applicable law. In connection with providing Certificateholders or beneficial owners of Certificates access to the information described in the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall require (prior to affording such access) a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special

-159-

Servicer, as the case may be, generally to the effect that such Person is a Holder of Certificates or a beneficial holder of book entry Certificates and will keep such information confidential.

Upon the reasonable request of any Certifying Certificateholder or Companion Loan Holder, the Master Servicer may provide (or forward electronically) (at the expense of such Certificateholder or Companion Loan Holder) copies of any operating statements, rent rolls and financial statements obtained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

In addition, in connection with providing access to information pursuant to this Section 3.15, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may (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 the execution of a reasonable confidentiality agreement; (iii) withhold access to confidential information or any intellectual property; and (iv) withhold access to items of information contained in the Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan if the disclosure of such items would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege.

Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as appropriate, shall, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer available via telephone to verbally answer questions from the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) and the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), on a monthly basis, during regular business hours at such time and for such duration as the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall reasonably agree, regarding the performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans and Whole Loans and/or related REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is responsible. In any event, the Operating Advisor and the Controlling Class Representative agree to identify for the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in advance (but at least two (2) Business Days prior to the related monthly conference) the applicable Mortgage Loans (or Whole Loans) and/or REO Properties it intends to discuss. As a condition to such disclosure, the Controlling Class Representative shall execute a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit M-4 to this Agreement and an Investor Certification.

The Master Servicer may (but shall not be required to), in accordance with such rules and procedures as it may adopt in its sole discretion, make available through the Master Servicer’s website or otherwise, any additional information relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Companion Loans, the Mortgaged Properties and/or the related Mortgagor that is not Privileged Information, for review by the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor.

After the occurrence and during the continuation of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor such reports and other information produced or otherwise available to the Controlling Class Representative or Certificateholders

-160-

generally, as requested by the Operating Advisor in support of the performance of the Operating Advisor’s obligations under this Agreement in electronic format.

The Operating Advisor hereby agrees that it shall use the information provided to it by the Special Servicer solely for purposes of performing its duties as Operating Advisor under this Agreement and shall not disclose such information to any other Person or entity unless pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception.

Section 3.16 Title and Management of REO Properties.

(a) In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired for the benefit of Certificateholders (or, with respect to a Whole Loan, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Holders) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender) (either by the Trust Fund or by a single member limited liability company established for that purpose) in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of a nominee of the Trustee (which shall not include the Master Servicer), or a separate trustee or co-trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and the related Companion Loan Holders. 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 Lower-Tier REMIC acquires ownership of such REO Property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(b)(1), for purposes of Code Section 860G(a)(8), unless (i) the IRS grants (or does not deny) an extension of time (an “REO Extension”) to sell such REO Property or (ii) the Special Servicer obtains an Opinion of Counsel for the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, addressed to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Lower-Tier REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which such acquisition occurred will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” (as defined in Code Section 860F) of any Trust REMIC, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Lower-Tier Regular Interests or Regular Certificates are outstanding. If the Special Servicer is granted (or is 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 its receiving 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 Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and any related Companion Loan Holder, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, shall dispose of any REO Property held by the Trust Fund (i) prior to the last day of such period (taking into account extensions) by which such REO Property is required to be disposed of pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence in a manner provided under Section 3.17 of this Agreement and (ii) on the same terms and conditions as if it were the owner of such REO Property. The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder, solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a

-161-

manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by the Trust Fund of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a)(2)(B) or (i) endanger the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund.

(b) The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement, all on such terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender), and, in connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall only agree to the payment of management fees that are consistent with general market standards or to terms that are more favorable. Consistent with the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall cause or permit to be earned with respect to such REO Property any “net income from foreclosure property,” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(c), which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions only if it has determined, and has so advised the Certificate Administrator in writing, that the earning of such income on a net after-tax basis could reasonably be expected to result in a greater recovery on behalf of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender) than an alternative method of operation or rental of such REO Property that would not be subject to such a tax. The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to any REO Property a segregated custodial account (each, an “REO Account”), each of which shall be an Eligible Account and (subject to any changes in the identities of the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee) shall be entitled “Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, on behalf of U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, for the benefit of the registered Holders of Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2012-GC8 [IN THE CASE OF AN REO PROPERTY RELATED TO A WHOLE LOAN: and the related Companion Loan Holder, as their interests may appear], REO Account.” The Special Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw for its account any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in an REO Account to the extent provided in Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the REO Account within one Business Day after receipt all revenues and proceeds received by it with respect to any REO Property, and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property and for other Property Protection Expenses with respect to such REO Property, including:

(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of any REO Property;

(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of any REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;

-162-

(iii) all costs and expenses reasonable and necessary to protect, maintain, manage, operate, repair and restore any REO Property including, if applicable, the payments of any ground rents in respect of such REO Property; and

(iv) any taxes imposed on any Trust REMIC in respect of net income from foreclosure property in accordance with Section 4.05 of this Agreement.

To the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above and the Special Servicer has provided written notice of such shortfall to the Master Servicer at least five Business Days (or, in an emergency situation or on an urgent basis, two Business Days, provided that the written notice sets forth the nature of the emergency or the basis of the urgency) prior to the date that such amounts are due, the Master Servicer shall advance the amount of such shortfall unless the Master Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). If the Master Servicer does not make any such Advance in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall make such Advance unless the Trustee determines that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer that an Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee, in determining whether or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall use its good faith business judgment. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of such Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence, to the extent set forth in Section 3.06 and/or, if applicable, Section 3.06A of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account and remit to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account or, for a Whole Loan, the related Whole Loan Custodial Account, on a monthly basis no later than the Business Day following the end of the Prepayment Period of receipt the Net REO Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds, Net Condemnation Proceeds and Net Insurance Proceeds received or collected from each REO Property during each Prepayment Period, except that in determining the amount of any such Net REO Proceeds, the Special Servicer may retain in each REO Account reasonable reserves for repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:

(i) permit the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease, 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 repair or maintenance thereof or the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Code Section 856(e)(4)(B); or

-163-

(iv) Directly Operate or allow any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund, unless such Person is an Independent Contractor;

unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has requested and received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Special Servicer, the related Companion Loan Holder, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and, if the related Companion Loan is part of a REMIC, the related Companion Loan Holder) to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8) (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Code Section 860D(a)) at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

The Special Servicer shall be required to contract with an Independent Contractor, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and payable out of REO Proceeds, for the operation and management of any REO Property, within 90 days of the Trust Fund’s acquisition thereof (unless the Special Servicer shall have provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Opinion of Counsel that the operation and management of any REO Property other than through an Independent Contractor shall not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8)) (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund), provided that:

(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall be reasonable and customary for the area and type of property and shall not be inconsistent herewith;

(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above, and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.16(b) 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 to the Trust Fund or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

(iv) the Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.

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

-164-

for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(c) When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the related Companion Loan Holder 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 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 Section 3.16(a) and Section 3.16(b) of this Agreement.

Section 3.17 Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

(a) The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Mortgage Loan only (i) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.17, (ii) as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by Section 2.03 and Section 9.01 of this Agreement, or (iii) (A) in the case of a Mortgage Loan related to a Whole Loan in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and Section 3.27 of this Agreement and (B) in the case of a Mortgage Loan with a related mezzanine loan, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the related intercreditor agreement.

(b) Promptly upon a Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan and if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Defaulted Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, in the case of a Defaulted Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder, constituted a single lender) to attempt to sell such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for such Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Holder in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price. Subject to the other subsections of this Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Loan. The Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) and any affected Companion Loan Holder of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any Defaulted Loan. Any Companion Loan that is part of a Defaulted Whole Loan is to be sold together with the related Mortgage Loan, subject to this Section 3.17 and any additional requirements set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the related Companion Loan Holder, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Loan. No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any Defaulted Loan, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual

-165-

capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may offer to purchase, or purchase, any Defaulted Loan pursuant hereto.

(d) Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan for purposes of Section 3.17(b) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee (determined either by itself or by retaining an independent third party as set forth below), if the highest offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror); provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In all cases under this Agreement, in determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the Trustee, if making such determination itself, shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be an Appraiser selected by (i) the Special Servicer if no Interested Person is offering with respect to a Defaulted Loan and (ii) the Trustee if an Interested Person is so offering. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Property Advance. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, any Appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The Purchase Price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan (and any equivalent amount for any related Companion Loan) shall in all cases be deemed a fair price. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.17(d) to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing or investing in mortgage loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this Section 3.17(d) will be covered by, and will be reimbursed by the Interested Person; provided that, the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.

(e) Subject to Section 3.17(a) through Section 3.17(d), Section 3.17(f) through Section 3.17(h) and Section 3.17(n), the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund and any affected Companion Loan Holder in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Loan, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may

-166-

charge prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account or, if applicable, the Whole Loan Custodial Account. Any sale of any Defaulted Loan shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Fund (except such recourse to the Trust Fund imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any appropriations applied thereto and any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(f) Except following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, any sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan for less than the Purchase Price shall be subject to the right of the Controlling Class Representative to match the price at which such Defaulted Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan is to be sold and purchase such Defaulted Mortgage Loan and any related Companion instead of the original offeror (the “Controlling Class Right of First Refusal”). The Controlling Class Representative shall notify the Special Servicer of its intention to exercise such Controlling Class Right of First Refusal within 5 Business Days of written notice from the Special Servicer, and shall purchase the related Defaulted Loan within 15 Business Days of written notice from the Special Servicer. In the event the Controlling Class Representative does not exercise its Controlling Class Right of First Refusal and any contemplated sale is not ultimately consummated, the Controlling Class Representative shall have the Controlling Class Right of First Refusal with respect to any subsequent sale of the related Defaulted Loan by the Special Servicer. If the Controlling Class Representative exercises the Controlling Class Right of First Refusal, then the Trustee shall determine whether the purchase price constitutes a fair price. In determining whether the purchase price constitutes a fair price, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9 month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal conducted by an Appraiser selected by the Trustee (the cost of which shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Property Advance). Any reasonable costs and fees of the Trustee in connection with the Controlling Class Representative’s exercise of the Controlling Class Right of First Refusal will be reimbursable by the Controlling Class Representative. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.17(f) to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by the Controlling Class Representative constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Controlling Class Representative) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing or investing in mortgage loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this Section 3.17(f) will be covered by, and will be reimbursed by the Controlling Class Representative; provided that, the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.

-167-

(g) Subject to the rights of a holder of a mezzanine loan, under the respective mezzanine intercreditor agreement, to purchase a Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, unless and until a Defaulted Loan is sold pursuant to this Section, the Special Servicer shall continue to service and administer the Defaulted Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard and this Agreement and shall pursue such other resolutions or recovery strategies including workout, foreclosure or sale of the Defaulted Loan, as is consistent with this Agreement and the Servicing Standard.

(h) Any sale of a Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan pursuant to this Section 3.17 shall be for cash only. The purchase price for any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan purchased under this Section 3.17 shall be deposited into the Collection Account or the related Whole Loan Custodial Account, as applicable, and the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer to the effect that such deposit has been made, shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan the related Mortgage File, and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in such purchaser ownership of such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan. In connection with any such purchase, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall deliver the related Servicing File (to the extent either has possession of such file) to such purchaser.

(i) The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, an REO Property only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.17.

(j) The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each REO Property on behalf of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Holder in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price within the time period specified by Section 3.16 of this Agreement. Subject to Section 3.17(n) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such REO Property. If the Special Servicer determines, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, that it will be unable to realize a fair price for any REO Property within the time constraints imposed by Section 3.16 of this Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property upon such terms and conditions as the Special Servicer shall deem necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery thereon under the circumstances and, in connection therewith, shall accept the highest outstanding cash offer, regardless from whom received. The Liquidation Proceeds (net of related Liquidation Expenses) for any REO Property purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account or, if applicable, the related Whole Loan Custodial Account. The Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any REO Property.

(k) The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the related Companion Loan Holder, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any REO Property. No

-168-

Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any REO Property, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may offer to purchase, or purchase, any REO Property pursuant hereto.

(l) Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any REO Property for purposes of Section 3.17(j) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror); provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such REO Property, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be an Appraiser selected by the Special Servicer if no Interested Person is offering with respect to an REO Property and selected by the Trustee if an Interested Person is so offering. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Property Advance. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such REO Property, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such REO Property, any Appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the REO Property, the state of the local economy and the obligation to dispose of any REO Property within the time period specified in Section 3.16 of this Agreement. The Purchase Price for any REO Property shall in all cases be deemed a fair price.

(m) Subject to Section 3.17(a) through Section 3.17(l) and Section 3.17(n) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund and any affected Companion Loan Holder in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Loan or REO Property, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account or, if applicable, the related Whole Loan Custodial Account. Any sale of any Defaulted Loan or REO Property shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Fund or any related Companion Loan Holder (except such recourse to the Trust Fund and the related Companion Loan Holder imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any appropriations applied thereto and any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

-169-

(n) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.17, subject to the Controlling Class Right of First Refusal with respect to a Defaulted Loan, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer for a Defaulted Loan or REO Property if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Controlling Class Representative and, in the case of a Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder), in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Whole Loan or an REO Property that corresponds to a Whole Loan, the Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender) and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Whole Loan or an REO Property that corresponds to a Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender) (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).

(o) In no event shall the Trust Fund or the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on the Trustee’s behalf purchase, or pay or advance costs to purchase, the Companion Loan or any Mortgage Loan.

(p) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any purchase or sale of a Specially Serviced Loan pursuant to this Section 3.17 will remain subject to the cure, purchase and other rights of, in each case if applicable, any holder of a related mezzanine loan as set forth in the related intercreditor agreement. The Special Servicer shall determine the price to be paid in accordance with the terms of the related mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement in connection with any such purchase rights in favor of an appropriate mezzanine loan holder and shall provide such notices to the holder of a related mezzanine loan as are required by the related mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement in connection with each such holders’ purchase rights.

(q) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Special Servicer shall not sell a Defaulted Whole Loan without the written consent of the related Companion Loan Holder (provided that such consent is not required if the Companion Loan Holder is the related Mortgagor or an Affiliate of the related Mortgagor) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to such Companion Loan Holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell such Defaulted Whole Loan; (b) at least 10 days prior to the permitted sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for such Defaulted Whole Loan, and any documents in the Servicing File reasonably requested by such Companion Loan Holder that are material to the price of the Defaulted Whole Loan; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Controlling Class Representative) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that such Companion Loan Holder may waive any of the delivery or timing

-170-

requirements set forth in this sentence. The related Companion Loan Holder (or its representative) will be permitted to make offers to purchase, and be a purchaser at any sale of, a Defaulted Whole Loan.

Section 3.18 Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer; Inspections; Obligation to Notify Ground Lessors; Delivery of Certain Reports to the Companion Loan Holder.

(a) The Master Servicer (or, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties, the Special Servicer) shall inspect or cause to be inspected each Mortgaged Property that secures a Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan at such times and in such manner as are consistent with the Servicing Standard, but in any event at least once every calendar year with respect to such Mortgaged Property relating to Mortgage Loans with an outstanding principal balance of $2,000,000 or more and at least once every other calendar year with respect to such Mortgaged Property relating to Mortgage Loans with an outstanding principal balance of less than $2,000,000, in each case commencing in 2013; provided that the Master Servicer is not required to inspect any Mortgaged Property that has been inspected by the Special Servicer during the preceding 12 months. If any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the related Mortgaged Property shall be inspected by the Special Servicer as soon as practicable and thereafter at least every calendar year for so long as such condition exists. The cost of any annual inspection, or bi-annual inspection, as the case may be, shall be borne by the Master Servicer unless the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan. The Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for the cost of any inspection of a Specially Serviced Loan as a Property Advance (or as an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance) and any out-of-pocket costs incurred with respect to such inspection shall be borne by the Trust Fund.

(b) The Master Servicer shall, as to each Mortgage Loan which is secured by the interest of the related Mortgagor under a Ground Lease, even if the corresponding fee interest is encumbered, promptly (and in any event within 60 days following the later of the Closing Date or its receipt of a copy of the Ground Lease) notify the related ground lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan to the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement and inform such ground lessor that any notices of default under the related Ground Lease should thereafter be forwarded to the Master Servicer.

(c) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each promptly prepare or cause to be prepared and deliver to each Companion Loan Holder a written report, prepared in the manner set forth in Section 4.02, of each inspection performed by it with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and Companion Loan related thereto.

(d) If required under the Intercreditor Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to each Companion Loan Holder or provide electronically: (i) copies of operating statements and rent rolls; (ii) annual CREFC NOI Adjustment Worksheets (with annual operating statements as exhibits); and (iii) annual CREFC Operating Statement Analysis Reports, in each case prepared, received or obtained by it pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Mortgaged Properties securing the related Companion Loan.

-171-

Section 3.19 Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts. The Master Servicer shall administer each Lock-Box Account and Escrow Account in accordance with the related Mortgage or Loan Agreement or Lock-Box Agreement, if any, and administer any letters of credit pursuant to the related letter of credit agreement and the Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any cash amounts are held in an Escrow Account or other cash collateral account and the mortgagee under the related Loan Documents is permitted, but not required, to apply such amounts to prepay the related Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan), neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall apply such amounts to prepay the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan) until after the occurrence of an event of default under the Mortgage Loan that may result in the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan) being accelerated or becoming a Specially Serviced Loan.

Section 3.20 Property Advances.

(a) The Master Servicer (or, to the extent provided in Section 3.20(b) of this Agreement, the Trustee) shall make any Property Advances as and to the extent incidental to the performance of its duties under this Agreement or otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof. The Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any affected Companion Loan Holder not less than five (or, in the case of emergency advances pursuant to Section 3.20(e) of this Agreement, two) Business Days’ written notice before the date on which the Master Servicer is requested to make any Property Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property. In addition, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any affected Companion Loan Holder with such information in its possession as the Master Servicer, the Trustee or such Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, may reasonably request to enable the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to determine whether a requested Property Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such notice by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer of a required Property Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested Property Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination. Although the Special Servicer may determine whether a Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Special Servicer will have no right to make an affirmative determination that any Property Advance to be made (or contemplated to be made) by the Master Servicer or the Trustee is, or would be, recoverable. In the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, all determinations of recoverability with respect to Property Advances to be made (or contemplated to be made) by the Master Servicer or the Trustee will remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. On the fourth Business Day before each Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer the Special Servicer’s determination as to whether any Property Advance previously made with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance promptly after making such determination. The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on and shall be bound by such a determination and shall be bound by a determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance previously made or contemplated to be made with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse any determination that may have been made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination, that any Property Advance

-172-

constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance). The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Property Advances for the purposes of non-recoverability determinations as if such amounts were unreimbursed Property Advances.

For purposes of distributions to Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders and compensation to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, Property Advances shall not be considered to increase the principal balance of any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan so provide.

(b) The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and any related Companion Loan Holder in writing promptly upon, and in any event within one Business Day after, becoming aware that it will be unable to make any Property Advance required to be made pursuant to the terms hereof, and in connection therewith, shall set forth in such notice the amount of such Property Advance, the Person to whom it will be paid, and the circumstances and purpose of such Property Advance, and shall set forth therein information and instructions for the payment of such Property Advance, and, on the date specified in such notice for the payment of such Property Advance, or, if the date for payment has passed or if no such date is specified, then within five Business Days following such notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 3.20(c) of this Agreement, shall pay the amount of such Property Advance in accordance with such information and instructions. Any notice to the Trustee pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be given to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee if made in accordance with Section 11.04 of this Agreement.

(c) Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be obligated to make a Property Advance as to any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan or REO Property if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that such Advance will be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make Property Advances that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Property Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, or a determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance previously made or proposed to be made is or would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be made by such Person, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard and, in the case of the Trustee, in accordance with its good faith business judgment, and shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered on or prior to the next Master Servicer Remittance Date to the Companion Loan Holders (and the related subsequent master servicer and special servicer, if applicable), in the case of any Whole Loan, the Trustee (unless it is the Person making the determination), the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the Master Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination), the Special Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination) and, if the Trustee is making the determination, the Depositor, setting forth the basis for such determination, together with any other information that supports such determination together with a copy of any Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be (which Appraisal shall be an expense of the Trust Fund, shall take into account any material change in circumstances of which such Person is aware or such Person has received new information, either of which has a material effect on the value and shall have been conducted in accordance with the standards of the Appraisal Institute within the twelve

-173-

months preceding such determination of nonrecoverability), and further accompanied by related Mortgagor operating statements and financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property (to the extent available and/or in such Person’s possession) and any engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports that such Person may have obtained and that support such determination. In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as is” or then current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries. 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 may obtain at the expense of the Trust Fund any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information as reasonably may be required for such purposes. Furthermore, the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any proposed Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and may deliver to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative notice of such determination, which determination will be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse any other authorized Person’s determination, or to prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that an Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance). The Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that a Property Advance is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Special Servicer that a Property Advance is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee, in determining whether or not a Property Advance previously made is, or a proposed Property Advance, if made, would be, a Nonrecoverable Advance shall use its good faith business judgment.

(d) The Master Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of Property Advances made by any of them to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) or Section 3.06(A) of this Agreement, together with any related Advance Interest Amount in respect of such Property Advances, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereby covenant and agree to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain the reimbursement of such Property Advances from the related Mortgagors to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Loan Documents.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a Property Advance is required to be made under this Agreement with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property, the Special Servicer shall request that the Master Servicer make such Property Advance, such request to be made, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days (or, in an emergency situation or on an urgent basis, two (2) Business Days, provided that the written request sets forth the nature of the emergency or the basis of the urgency) in advance of the date on which such Property Advance is required to be made hereunder and to be accompanied by such information and documentation regarding the subject Property Advance as the Master

-174-

Servicer may reasonably request, subject to the Master Servicer’s right to determine that such Property Advance does not constitute or would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer shall have the obligation to make any such Property Advance that it is so requested by the Special Servicer to make, within five (5) Business Days (or, in an emergency situation or on an urgent basis, two (2) Business Days) of the Master Servicer’s receipt of such request. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Property Advance. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any Advance made by it at the direction of the Special Servicer, together with interest thereon at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer is entitled with respect to any other Advances made thereby.

Section 3.21 Appointment of Special Servicer; Asset Status Reports.

Each Asset Status Report will be delivered in electronic format to the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event), the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the Certificate Administrator, the related Companion Loan Holder (in the case of a Whole Loan) and, for posting to the the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider; provided, however, the Special Servicer shall not be required to deliver an Asset Status Report to the Controlling Class Representative if they are the same entity.

(i) summary of the status of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan and any negotiations with the Mortgagors;

(ii) if a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing:

(A) a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known at such time 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 Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;

(iv) the alternative courses of action that were or are being considered by the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed or taken actions;

(v) the decision that the Special Servicer made, or intends or proposes to make, including a narrative analysis setting forth the Special Servicer’s rationale for its proposed decision, including its rejection of the alternatives;

(vi) an analysis of whether or not taking such proposed action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth (x) the basis on which the Special Servicer made such determination and (y) the net present value calculation (including the applicable Calculation Rate used) and all related assumptions; and

(vii) such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the proposed or taken action and the Servicing Standard.

For so long as there is no continuing Control Termination Event, if within 10 Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the Controlling Class Representative does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing, then the Controlling Class Representative shall be deemed to have approved such Asset Status Report and 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 Loan Documents. If, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative disapproves such Asset Status Report within 10 Business Days of receipt, the Special Servicer will revise

-176-

such Asset Status Report and deliver to the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event), the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the Certificate Administrator, the related Companion Loan Holders and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after such disapproval. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above until the Controlling Class Representative shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within 10 Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report or until the Special Servicer makes a determination, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such objection is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holders. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report, provided such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section. In any event, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, if the Controlling Class Representative does not approve an Asset Status Report within 60 Business Days from the first submission thereof, the Special Servicer shall take such action as directed by the Controlling Class Representative, provided such action does not violate the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders and any related Companion Loan Holders, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of a 10 Business Day period if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of a 10 Business Day period would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, to contact the Controlling Class Representative. The foregoing shall not relieve the Special Servicer of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor in connection with each Asset Status Report prior to finalizing and executing such Asset Status Report and the Operating Advisor shall propose, by written notice, alternative courses of action within 10 days of receipt of each Asset Status Report to the extent the Operating Advisor determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that were previously included in the Control Eligible Classes), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constituted a single lender. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall also consult with the Controlling Class Representative in connection with each Asset Status Report prior to finalizing and executing such Asset Status Report and the Controlling Class Representative shall be permitted to propose alternative courses of action within 10 days of receipt of each Asset Status Report. The Special Servicer shall consider any such proposals from the Operating Advisor and/or the Controlling Class Representative and determine whether any changes to its proposed Asset

-177-

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 Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative does not propose alternative courses of action within 10 days after receipt of such Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall implement the Asset Status Report as proposed by the Special Servicer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative 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 Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.21(b).

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to a Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) shall, at all times, be entitled to consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer and propose alternative courses of action in respect of any Asset Status Report as set forth in Section 3.27(d) of this Agreement.

(c) Subject to Section 3.21(b) of this Agreement, during the continuance of a Servicing Transfer Event, the Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the related Mortgagors and take any actions consistent with the Servicing Standard and the most recent Asset Status Report for the related Mortgage Loan.

(d) Upon request of any Certificateholder (or any Beneficial Owner, if applicable, which shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with an Investor Certification), the Certificate Administrator shall mail, without charge, to the address specified in such request a copy of the Final Asset Status Report for each Specially Serviced Loan.

(e) Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor only each Final Asset Status Report.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Operating Advisor, any Companion Loan Holder, any Companion Loan Holder Representative or the Controlling Class Representative that would require or cause the Special Servicer to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Special Servicer to violate provisions of this Agreement, require or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, expose any Certificateholder or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit or liability, cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC, result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions or materially expand the scope of any Special Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement. In addition, the Special Servicer is under no obligation to act upon any recommendation of the Operating Advisor.

The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the date such Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan became a Specially Serviced Loan and in any event shall continue to act as Master Servicer and administrator of such Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of such Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan, which shall occur upon the receipt by the Special Servicer of the Servicing File. With respect to each such Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall instruct the related Mortgagor to continue to remit all payments in respect of such Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Mortgagor of such a Specially Serviced Loan to the Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the related Mortgagor.

Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Loan has become a Corrected Loan, the Special Servicer shall immediately give written notice thereof to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, any related Companion Loan Holder and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative, and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider and, upon giving such notice and the return of the Servicing File to the Master Servicer, such Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan shall cease to be a Specially Serviced Loan in accordance with the first proviso of the definition of Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service such Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Master Servicer to service and administer such Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan as a Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan shall resume. In addition, if the related Mortgagor has been instructed, pursuant to the preceding paragraph, to make payments to the Special Servicer, upon such determination, the Special Servicer shall instruct the related Mortgagor to remit all payments in respect of such Specially Serviced Loan directly to the Master Servicer.

(b) In servicing any Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Custodian originals of documents included within the definition of “Mortgage

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 3.22, the Master Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to each of the Specially Serviced Loans and shall provide the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor with any information reasonably required by the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor to perform its duties under this Agreement to the extent such information is within its possession. The Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer and the Operating Advisor with any information reasonably required by the Master Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement to the extent such information is within its possession.

Section 3.23 Interest Reserve Account. The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain the Interest Reserve Account in the Certificate Administrator’s name, on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Interest Reserve Account shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Account. On each Master Servicer Remittance Date occurring in February and on any Master Servicer Remittance Date occurring in January in a year which is not a leap year (unless, in either such case, the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Master Servicer shall remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Interest Reserve Account, in respect of all the Mortgage Loans which accrue interest on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the related month, an amount equal to one day’s interest at the related Mortgage Rate, less the Administrative Cost Rate, on the Stated Principal Balance of each such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on the Distribution Date in the month preceding the month in which such Master Servicer Remittance Date occurs, to the extent a Monthly Payment or P&I Advance is made in respect thereof (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive January (if applicable) and February, “Withheld Amounts”). On or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date in March (or February if the final Distribution Date occurs in such month) of each calendar year, the Certificate Administrator shall transfer to the Lower-Tier Distribution Account the aggregate of all Withheld Amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account.

Section 3.24 Modifications, Waivers and Amendments.

(a) (i) With respect to Performing Loans, the Master Servicer (subject to the Special Servicer’s consent if the subject modification, waiver or amendment constitutes a Major Decision) or (ii) with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer, in each case subject to the consulting rights of the Operating Advisor, if any, the consent or consulting rights of the Controlling Class Representative, and the consulting rights of any related Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative (as applicable), may modify, waive or amend any term of any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment (A) is consistent with the Servicing Standard and (B) would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise (1) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under

-180-

subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes or (2) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Code Section 860G(d), but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property” under Code Section 860G(c)).

In addition, with respect to Performing Loans, the Master Servicer, prior to taking action with respect to any Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Major Decision) shall prepare and submit its written recommendation and analysis to the Special Servicer with all information reasonably available to the Master Servicer that the Special Servicer may reasonably request in order to withhold or grant its consent, and in all cases the Special Servicer shall be entitled (subject to the consulting rights of the Operating Advisor, the consent or consulting rights of the Controlling Class Representative, or the consulting rights of any related Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative (as applicable)) to approve or disapprove any modification, waiver or amendment that constitutes a Major Decision. Subject to Section 3.10 of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall have 15 Business Days (or, with respect to such 15 Business Day period, such longer period as required by the related Intercreditor Agreement for review by any related Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) (or 60 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) (from the date that the Special Servicer receives the information it requested from the Master Servicer) to analyze and approve such Major Decision and, prior to the end of such 15 Business Day period or 60-day period, as applicable, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, is required to notify the Controlling Class Representative of such request for approval and provide its written analysis and recommendation with respect thereto. Following such notice, the Controlling Class Representative, shall have 10 Business Days (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, 20 days) from the date it receives from the Special Servicer the recommendation and analysis of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and any other information it may reasonably request to approve any recommendation of the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer relating to any request for approval. In any event, if the Controlling Class Representative does not respond to a request for approval by 5:00 p.m. on the 10th Business Day or 20th day, as applicable, after such request, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may deem its recommendation approved by the Controlling Class Representative and if the Special Servicer does not respond to a request for approval within the required 15 Business Days or such longer period if required by the applicable Intercreditor Agreement or 60 days, as applicable, the Master Servicer may deem its recommendation approved by the Special Servicer.

(b) All modifications, waivers or amendments of any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan shall be in writing and shall be effected in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard.

(c) Any modification of any Loan Documents that requires obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to such Loan Documents, or any modification that would eliminate, modify or alter the requirement of obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation in such Loan Documents, shall not be made without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation. The Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the related Mortgagor’s expense in accordance with the related Loan Agreement or, if not so provided in such Loan Agreement or if such Mortgagor does not pay, at the expense of the Trust Fund.

(d) Promptly after any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall request from the Certificate Administrator the name of the current Controlling Class Representative and shall request from the Master Servicer the name of the current related Companion Loan Holder. Upon receipt of the name of such current Controlling Class Representative from the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative that such Mortgage Loan became a Specially Serviced Loan. Upon receipt of the name of such current related Companion Loan Holder from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall notify the related Companion Loan Holder that the related Whole Loan became a Specially Serviced Loan. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for providing the name of the current Controlling Class Representative only to the extent the Controlling Class Representative has identified itself as such to the Certificate Administrator; provided that if the Controlling Class Representative is determined pursuant to the proviso in the definition of “Controlling Class Representative”, then (i) the Certificate Administrator shall determine which Class is the Controlling Class and (ii) the Special Servicer shall request from the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall request from the Depository at the expense of the Trust, the list of Beneficial Holders of the Controlling Class, and the Certificate Administrator shall provide such list to the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer at the expense of the Trust Fund.

(e) [Reserved.]

(f) The Special Servicer or Master Servicer may, as a condition to granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent to a modification, extension, waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within its discretion pursuant to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan and, further, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and applicable law, require that such Mortgagor pay to it a reasonable or customary fee for the additional services performed in connection with such request and any related costs and expenses incurred by it; provided that the charging of such fee would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

-182-

(g) Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall the Special Servicer be permitted to:

(i) extend the Maturity Date of a Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan beyond a date that is 3 years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date; or

(ii) if the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan is secured by a ground lease, extend the Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan beyond a date which is 20 years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, giving due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease, 10 years prior to the end of the current term of such ground lease, plus any options to extend exercisable unilaterally by the related Mortgagor.

(h) 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 Loan Documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate (or require the Mortgagor to provide such calculation to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) 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, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, such calculation shall exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any.

(i) With respect to the Miami Center Mortgage Loan, following the taking of the related Mortgaged Property or any portion of the related Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, and if the Loan-to-Value of the Miami Center Whole Loan (based on the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property after such taking and without giving effect to personal property) is greater than 125%, then the Master Servicer (if the Miami Center Whole Loan is a Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (if the Miami Center Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan) shall, to the extent permitted by the related Loan Documents, require the related Mortgagor to pay down the related Whole Loan to the extent necessary to comply with, and to deliver a REMIC Opinion (as defined in the related Loan Agreement) establishing compliance with, the REMIC Requirements (as defined in the related Loan Agreement).

Section 3.25 Additional Obligations with Respect to Certain Mortgage Loans.

(a) With respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance in excess of $35,000,000, with respect to any replacement of the Manager for the related Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent permitted by the related Loan Documents, shall require a Rating Agency Confirmation and shall condition its consent to such replacement on the Mortgagor paying for such Rating Agency Confirmation.

-183-

(b) With respect to any Mortgage Loan, if any mezzanine loan is directly or indirectly secured by any equity interest of the related Mortgagor, the Master Servicer (if the related Mortgage Loan is a Performing Loan) or the Special Servicer (if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan) shall perform the obligations of the Trust, as holder of the related Mortgage Loan, or its servicer or agent under the related mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement.

Section 3.26 Additional Matters Regarding Advance Reimbursement.

(a) 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 Collection Account, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, 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 3.06(a)(ii)(B) of this Agreement immediately, may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for some or all such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the one-month Prepayment Period ending on the then-current Determination Date, for successive one-month periods for a total not to exceed 12 months; provided that any deferral in excess of 6 months shall be subject to the consent of the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election 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 discretion option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii)(B) of this Agreement). 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 Prepayment 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 to be received before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof) until the end of such Prepayment Period; provided, however, if, at any time the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a one-month Prepayment Period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections deposited in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall, through a posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, give the Rating Agencies at least 15 days’ notice prior to any reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans unless (1) the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines in its sole discretion that waiting 15 days after such a notice could jeopardize the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances, (2) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (1) above, or (3) the Master Servicer has not timely received from the Trustee information requested by the

-184-

Master Servicer to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if clause (1), (2) or (3) apply, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall, through a posting on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, give Rating Agencies notice of an anticipated reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans as soon as reasonably practicable in such circumstances. Subject to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have no liability for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any notice provided to Rating Agencies contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence. Any election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof with respect to any Collection Period shall not be construed to impose on the Master Servicer or the Trustee any obligation to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election) with respect to any subsequent Collection Period) or to constitute a waiver or limitation on the right of the Master Servicer or the Trustee to otherwise be reimbursed for such Nonrecoverable Advance immediately (together with interest thereon). Any such election by the Master Servicer, or the Trustee shall not be construed to impose any duty on the other such party to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election). 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 Prepayment Periods shall not limit the accrual of interest on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement will have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders for any such election that such party makes to refrain or not to refrain from reimbursing itself as contemplated by this paragraph or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election nor will such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement. The Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, election, if any, 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 give the Master Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance if there are principal collections then available in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement or to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance for an aggregate period exceeding 12 months.

(b) If the Master Servicer is required to make a Property Advance, but does not do so within 15 days after the Property Advance is required to be made, then the Trustee will be required: (i) if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the failure, to give the Master Servicer notice of its failure; and (ii) if the failure continues for three more Business Days, to make the Advance unless the Trustee determines such advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

Section 3.27 Companion Loan Intercreditor Matters.

(a) If, pursuant to Section 2.03, Section 3.17 or Section 9.01 of this Agreement, any Mortgage Loan that relates to a Whole Loan is purchased from, repurchased

-185-

from or substituted out of, the Trust Fund, the subsequent holder thereof shall be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and shall assume the rights and obligations of the holder of the note that represents the related Mortgage Loan under such Intercreditor Agreement. All portions of the related Mortgage File and (to the extent provided under the related Loan Purchase Agreement) other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan in its capacity as the holder of the Note that represents the related Mortgage Loan (as a result of such purchase, repurchase or substitution) and (except for the actual Note) on behalf of the holder of the Note that represents the Companion Loan. Thereafter, such Mortgage File shall be held by the holder of the Note that represents the related Mortgage Loan or a custodian appointed thereby for the benefit thereof, on behalf of itself and the holder of the related Companion Loan as their interests appear under the Intercreditor Agreement. If the related Servicing File is not already in the possession of such party, it shall be delivered to the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under any separate servicing agreement for the Whole Loan.

(b) With respect to each Companion Loan, notwithstanding any rights the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative hereunder may have to consult with respect to any action or other matter with respect to the servicing of such Companion Loan, to the extent the Intercreditor Agreement provides that such right is exercisable by the related Companion Loan Holder or is exercisable in conjunction with any related Companion Loan Holder, the Controlling Class Representative shall not be permitted to exercise such right or, to the extent provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement, shall be required to exercise such right in conjunction with any related Companion Loan Holder, as applicable. Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, seek the approval or obtain the consent of the holder of any Companion Loan with respect to any matters with respect to the servicing of such Companion Loan to the extent required under related Intercreditor Agreement and shall not take such actions requiring consent of the Companion Loan Holder without such consent. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver reports and notices to the Companion Loan Holder as required under the Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) With respect to each Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, on an ongoing basis a statement setting forth, to the extent applicable to the Whole Loan:

(i) (A) the amount of the distribution from the related Whole Loan Custodial Account allocable to principal and (B) separately identifying the amount of scheduled principal payments, balloon payments, principal prepayments made at the option of the Mortgagor or other principal prepayments (specifying the reason therefor), net liquidation proceeds and foreclosure proceeds included therein and information on distributions made with respect to the related Whole Loan;

(ii) the amount of the distribution from the related Whole Loan Custodial Account allocable to interest and the amount of Default Interest allocable to the related Whole Loan;

-186-

(iii) the amount of the distribution to the related Companion Loan Holder, separately identifying the non-default interest, principal and other amounts included therein, and if the distribution to a Companion Loan Holder is less than the full amount that would be distributable to such Companion Loan Holder if there were sufficient amounts available therefor, the amount of the shortfall and the allocation thereof between interest and principal and the amount of the shortfall, if any, under the related Whole Loan;

(iv) the principal balance of each of the related Whole Loan and related Companion Loan after giving effect to the distribution of principal on the most recent Distribution Date; and

(v) the amount of the servicing fees paid to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to the most recent Distribution Date, showing separately the Servicing Fee, the Special Servicing Fee, the Workout Fee and the Liquidation Fee.

Not later than each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall make the foregoing statement available to the Companion Loan Holder by electronic means.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall be required (i) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Representative pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to a Whole Loan, to any related Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative), within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Representative (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Controlling Class Representative under this Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) to consult with any related Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such related Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Whole Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such related Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such related Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) by the Special Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Controlling Class Representative, the Special Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with such related Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative), whether or not such related Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Special Servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of any related Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the

-187-

Special Servicer may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Special Servicer determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Loan Holder. In no event shall the Special Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any related Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative).

(e) In addition to the consultation rights of a Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, a Companion Loan Holder shall have the right to attend (in person or telephonically) annual meetings with the Special Servicer at the offices of the Special Servicer upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer in which servicing issues related to the related Whole Loan are discussed.

Section 3.28 Appointment and Duties of the Operating Advisor.

(a) Situs Holdings, LLC is hereby appointed to serve as the initial Operating Advisor.

(b) The Operating Advisor, as an independent contractor, shall review the Special Servicer’s operational practices in respect of Specially Serviced Loans, consult with the Special Servicer and perform each other obligation of the Operating Advisor as set forth in this Agreement solely on behalf of the Trust Fund and in the best interest of, and for the benefit of, the Certificateholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constituted a single lender), and not any particular Class of Certificateholders (as determined by the Operating Advisor in the exercise of its good faith and reasonable judgment) (the “Operating Advisor Standard”). The Operating Advisor shall not owe any fiduciary duty to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any other Person in connection with this Agreement.

(c) Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Operating Advisor shall promptly review (i) all information available to Privileged Persons on the Certificate Administrator’s Website with respect to the Special Servicer, assets on the CREFC Servicer Watch List and Specially Serviced Loans and (ii) each Final Asset Status Report.

Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.28(b) of this Agreement, each such Operating 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 Loans and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements applicable to the Operating Advisor described in this Agreement. Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider and the Depositor, and the Certificate Administrator and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly upon receipt post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, respectively; provided, however, that the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Special Servicer and, for so long as a Consultation Termination Event does not exist, the Controlling Class Representative any annual report produced by the Operating Advisor at least 10 Business Days prior to its delivery to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. The Operating Advisor may, but shall not be obligated to, revise the Operating Advisor Annual Report based on any comments received from the Special Servicer or the Controlling Class Representative.

(e) Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer will forward any Appraisal Reduction Amount 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 Loan to the Operating Advisor after such calculations have been finalized. The Operating Advisor shall review such calculations but may not opine on, or otherwise call into question such Appraisal Reduction Amount and/or net present value calculations; provided, however, if the Operating Advisor discovers a math error contained in such calculations, then the Operating Advisor shall notify the Special Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative of such error.

(f) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, after the calculation but prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer of any of the

-189-

calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (ii) net present value, the Special Servicer shall forward such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional information necessary in support thereof (including such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Information), to the Operating Advisor promptly, but in any event no later than 2 Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Operating Advisor shall promptly, but no later than 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.

In connection with this Section 3.28(f), in the event the Operating 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 Operating 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 5 Business Days of delivery of such calculations to the Operating Advisor. In the event the Operating Advisor and Special Servicer are not able to resolve such inaccuracies or disagreement prior to the end of such 5 Business Day period, the Operating Advisor shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such disagreement and the Certificate Administrator shall determine which calculation is to apply. In making such determination, the Certificate Administrator may hire an independent third-party to assist with any such calculation at the expense of the Trust Fund.

(g) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult (on a non-binding basis) with the Operating Advisor in connection with any Major Decision and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, but only to the extent consultation with, or consent of, the Controlling Class Representative would have been required prior to the occurrence and continuance of such Control Termination Event.

(h) Subject to the requirements of confidentiality imposed on the Operating Advisor herein (including without limitation in respect of Privileged Information), the Operating Advisor shall respond to Inquiries relating to the Operating Advisor Annual Reports or actions by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as to which the Operating Advisor has consultation rights, whether or not referenced in any Operating Advisor Annual Report and proposed by Privileged Persons from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 4.02(a) of this Agreement.

(i) Subject to the Privileged Information Exception, the Operating Advisor will be obligated to keep confidential any Privileged Information received from the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative or any Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) in connection with the exercise of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative or Companion Loan Holder under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with the review and/or approval of any Asset Status Report),

-190-

subject to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree requiring the disclosure of such Privileged Information.

(j) The Operating Advisor shall keep all Privileged Information confidential and shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders other than the Controlling Class Representative), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement, to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Operating Advisor with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and, unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative, other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception.

(k) On each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Operating Advisor shall be paid the applicable Operating Advisor Fee from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement. In addition, the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the Operating Advisor with respect to each Major Decision for which the Operating Advisor has consultation rights. Each of the Operating Advisor Fee and the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06 of this Agreement, but with respect to the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the related Mortgagor. When the Operating Advisor has consultation rights 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 Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Loan Documents. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating 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 Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction.

Section 3.29 Rating Agency Confirmation.

(a) Notwithstanding the terms of any related Loan Documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Loan Documents or this Agreement requires Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “Requesting Party”) required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within 10 Business Days of the Rating Agency Confirmation request being posted to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (i) such Requesting Party shall be required to confirm that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency

-191-

Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again, and (ii) if there is no response to either such Rating Agency Confirmation request within five (5) Business Days of such second request (after seeking to confirm that the applicable Rating Agency received such second request), as applicable, or if such Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (x) with respect to any condition in any Loan Document requiring a Rating Agency Confirmation or any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the related Mortgagor, then the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Mortgage Loans), as applicable) shall determine (with the consent of the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) pursued by the Special Servicer (but in each case only in the case of actions that would otherwise be Major Decisions), which consent shall be deemed given if the Controlling Class Representative does not respond within seven (7) Business Days of receipt of a request from the Special Servicer to consent to the Requesting Party’s determination), in accordance with its duties under this Agreement and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, except as provided in Section 3.29(b), whether or not such action would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and related Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender), and if the Requesting Party, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, makes such determination, then the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation shall not apply, and (y) with respect to a replacement of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, such condition shall be considered not to apply if: (1) Moody’s has not cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement Master Servicer or Special Servicer as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable servicer prior to the time of determination, if Xxxxx’x is the non-responding Rating Agency, as applicable; (2) the applicable replacement Master Servicer or Special Servicer is rated at least “CMS3” (in the case of the Master Servicer) or “CSS3” (in the case of the Special Servicer), if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency; and (3) KBRA has not cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement Master Servicer or Special Servicer as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable servicer prior to the time of determination, if KBRA is the non-responding Rating Agency.

Any Rating Agency Confirmation request made by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made in writing, which writing shall contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material reasonably necessary for the Rating Agency to process such request, subject to Section 11.13. Such written Rating Agency Confirmation request shall be provided in electronic format in accordance with Section 11.13(b) and the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, shall be required to send the Rating Agency Confirmation request to the Rating Agencies in accordance with Section 11.13(b).

-192-

Promptly following the Requesting Party’s (or, if the Requesting Party is the related Mortgagor, then the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable) determination to take any action discussed in this Section 3.29(a) without receiving any required Rating Agency Confirmation, such Requesting Party (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) shall provide electronic written notice in accordance with Section 11.13(b) of the action taken for the particular item at such time and the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, shall be required to send the Rating Agency Confirmation request to the Rating Agencies in accordance with Section 11.13(b).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.29, for purposes of the provisions of any Loan Document relating to defeasance (including without limitation the type of collateral acceptable for use as defeasance collateral), release or substitution of any collateral, any Rating Agency Confirmation requirement in the Loan Documents that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been permitted to make a determination pursuant to Section 3.29(a)(ii)(x) shall be deemed not to apply (it being understood that the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is the related Borrower, then the Master Servicer (with respect to Performing Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Mortgage Loans), as applicable) shall in any event review the conditions required under the related Loan Documents with respect to such defeasance, release or substitution and confirm to its satisfaction in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such conditions (other than the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation) have been satisfied).

(c) For all other matters or actions (i) not specifically discussed in clause (ii)(x) or (ii)(y) of Section 3.29(a) above or (ii) that are not the subject of a Rating Agency Declination, the proposed action may not be permitted to proceed unless the applicable Requesting Party shall deliver Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.

(d) With respect to any Companion Loan as to which there exists Companion Loan Securities, if any action relating to the servicing and administration of the related Mortgage Loan, the related Whole Loan or any related REO Property (the “Relevant Action”) requires delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action pursuant to this Agreement, then, except as set forth below in this paragraph, such action will also require delivery of a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action from each Companion Loan Rating Agency. Each Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation shall be sought by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on whichever such party is seeking the corresponding Rating Agency Confirmation(s) in connection with the Relevant Action. The requirement to obtain a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any Companion Loan Securities will be subject to, will be permitted to be waived by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer on, and will be deemed not to apply on, the same terms and conditions applicable to obtaining Rating Agency Confirmations, as set forth in this Agreement; provided, that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on which is seeking the subject Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, shall forward to one or more of its counterpart (i.e., the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable), the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s counterpart, or such other party or parties (as are agreed to by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the applicable parties for the related Other Securitization Trust), at the expense of the Other

-193-

Securitizaton Trust to the extent not borne by the related Mortgagor, and in such format as the sender and recipient may reasonably agree, (i) the request for such Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation at least two (2) Business Days before it is sent to the applicable Companion Loan Rating Agency, (ii) all materials forwarded to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider under this Agreement in connection with seeking the Rating Agency Confirmation(s) for the applicable Relevant Action at approximately the same time that such materials are forwarded to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, and (iii) any other materials that the applicable Companion Loan Rating Agency may reasonably request in connection with such Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation promptly following such request.

Each of the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall, promptly following receipt of written request from the Special Servicer, provide to the Special Servicer the contact information for the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s counterpart for the Other Securitization Trust, in each case to the extent known to it.

(f) The Certificate Principal Amount of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates will be reduced without distribution on any Distribution Date, as a write-off, to the extent of any Realized Loss (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 3.06 of this Agreement to the extent such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts are not otherwise determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) allocated to such Class on such Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, any Realized Loss for such Distribution Date will be allocated to the following Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates in the following order, until the Certificate Principal Amount of each such Class is reduced to zero: first, to the Class G Certificates; second, to the Class F Certificates; third, to the Class E Certificates; fourth, to the Class D Certificates; fifth, to the Class C Certificates; sixth, to the Class B Certificates; seventh, to the Class A-S Certificates; and, finally, pro rata to the (i) Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) Class A-2 Certificates, (iii) Class A-3 Certificates, (iv) Class A-4 Certificates and (v) Class A-AB Certificates based on their respective Certificate Principal Amounts. Any amounts recovered in respect of any amounts previously written off as Realized Losses will be distributed to the Classes of Certificates to which Realized Losses have been allocated in order of their seniority and shall be deemed to be distributed to the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests. Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Principal Amount of the Class of Certificates in respect of which any such reimbursement is made. If and to the extent that any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (including REO Mortgage Loans) and previously resulted in a reduction of the Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, then (on the Distribution Date related to the Prepayment Period during which the recovery occurred) the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Principal Amount(s) of the Class or Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates that previously were allocated Realized Losses, in the same sequential order as distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement, in each case up to the lesser of the unallocated portion of such recovery and the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to such Class, and the Interest Shortfall with respect to each affected Class of Sequential Pay Certificates for the next Distribution Date will be increased by the amount of interest that would have accrued through the then current Distribution Date if the restored write-down for such Class had never been written down (and, to the extent that the Certificate Principal Amount of, and interest payable on, any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates is so increased, an identical increase shall be deemed made to the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of, and interest payable on, the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest). If the Certificate Principal Amount of any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates (or the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of any Lower-Tier Regular Interest) is so increased, the amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses of such Class (or such Lower-Tier Regular Interest, as the case may be) shall be decreased by such amount.

The Notional Amount of the Class X-A Certificates and their respective Components will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Amount of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB and Class A-S Certificates and of the Lower-Tier Principal Balances of the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-B Certificates and their

-200-

respective Components will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Amount of the Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F and Class G Certificates and of the Lower-Tier Principal Balances of the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests resulting from allocations of Realized Losses.

(g) All amounts distributable, or reductions allocable on account of Realized Losses to a Class of Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01 on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for making all distributions on the Certificates contemplated hereunder.

(h) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01 with respect to an Anticipated Termination Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the fifteenth day of the month preceding the month in which the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made (or, if the Certificate Administrator has not received notice of such Anticipated Termination Date by such time, promptly following the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of such notice), mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates, on such date a notice to the effect that:

(i) the Certificate Administrator reasonably expects based upon information previously provided to it 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 office of the Certificate Administrator therein specified, and

(ii) if such final distribution is made on such Distribution Date, no interest shall accrue on such Class of Certificates, or on the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest, from and after such Distribution Date;

provided, however, that the Class R Certificates shall remain outstanding until there is no other Class of Certificates outstanding.

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 in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months

-201-

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 may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder or 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(h). Any funds not distributed on such Distribution Date shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner.

(i) [Reserved.]

(j) The Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for each Distribution Date will be allocated among the various Classes of Regular Certificates, pro rata, based upon the respective Interest Accrual Amounts with respect to such Classes of Regular Certificates for such Distribution Date. The portion of any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall for any Distribution Date so allocable to a Class of Class X Certificates shall, in turn, be allocated among the various Components of such Class of Class X Certificates, pro rata, based upon the respective amounts of Accrued Component Interest with respect to such Components for such Distribution Date. The portion of any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall for any Distribution Date so allocated to any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates or any Component of a Class of Class X Certificates shall be deemed to have first been allocated to the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest for such Class or Component, as applicable.

(k) On each Distribution Date, any Excess Interest received during the related Prepayment Period with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class S Certificates from the Excess Interest Distribution Account.

Section 4.04 REMIC Compliance.

(a) The parties intend that each Trust REMIC shall constitute, and that the affairs of each Trust REMIC shall be conducted so as to qualify it as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in, and in accordance with, the REMIC Provisions, and the provisions hereof and of each REMIC Declaration shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Certificate Administrator shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, act as agent, and is hereby appointed to act as agent, of each Trust REMIC and shall on behalf of each Trust REMIC: (i) prepare, timely deliver to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute) and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all required Tax Returns for each Trust REMIC, using a calendar year as the taxable year for each Trust REMIC when and as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal, state or local income tax laws; (ii) make an election, on behalf of each Trust REMIC, to be treated as a REMIC on IRS Form 1066 for its first taxable year ending December 31, 2012, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (iii) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders (other than the Holders of the Class S Certificates) and the IRS and applicable state and local tax authorities all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions of the Code; (iv) if the filing or distribution of any documents of an administrative nature not addressed in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 4.04(a) is then required by the REMIC Provisions in order to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC or is otherwise required by the Code, prepare, sign and file or distribute, or cause to be prepared and signed and filed or distributed, such documents

-214-

with or to such Persons when and as required by the REMIC Provisions or the Code or comparable provisions of state and local law; (v) obtain a taxpayer identification number for the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC on IRS Form SS-4, and, within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the IRS, on IRS Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title and address of the Person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Certificate Administrator shall act as the representative of each Trust REMIC for this purpose), together with such additional information as may be required by such IRS Form, and shall update such information at the time or times and in the manner required by the Code (and the Depositor agrees within 10 Business Days of the Closing Date to provide any information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer or the Certificate Administrator and necessary to make such filing); and (vi) maintain such records relating to each Trust REMIC as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information, such records, for federal income tax purposes, to be maintained on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be the tax matters person of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d). If more than one Holder should hold an equal Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates larger than that held by any other Holder, the first such Holder to have acquired such Class R Certificates shall be such tax matters person. The Certificate Administrator shall act as attorney-in-fact and agent for the tax matters person of each Trust REMIC, and each Holder of a Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates, by acceptance hereof, is deemed to have consented to the Certificate Administrator’s appointment in such capacity and agrees to execute any documents required to give effect thereto, and any fees and expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding shall be paid by the Trust Fund.

The Certificate Administrator shall not intentionally take any action or intentionally omit to take any action within its control and the scope of its duties if, in taking or omitting to take such action, the Certificate Administrator knows that such action or omission (as the case may be) would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any Trust REMIC or the imposition of tax on any Trust REMIC (other than a tax on income expressly permitted or contemplated to be received by the terms of this Agreement).

Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph or the three preceding paragraphs to the contrary, the Certificate Administrator shall not be required to take any action that the Certificate Administrator in good faith believes to be inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement, nor shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed in violation of this paragraph if it takes any action expressly required or authorized by any other provision of this Agreement, and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to any act or omission of the Depositor or the Master Servicer which does not enable the Certificate Administrator to comply with any of clauses (i) through (vi) of the third preceding paragraph or which results in any action contemplated by clauses (i) through (iii) of the next succeeding sentence. In this regard the Certificate Administrator shall (i) not allow the occurrence of any “prohibited transactions” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a), unless the party seeking such action shall have delivered to the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel (at such party’s expense) that such occurrence would not (a) result in a taxable gain,

-215-

(b) otherwise subject any Trust REMIC to tax (other than a tax at the highest marginal corporate tax rate on net income from foreclosure property), or (c) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes; (ii) not allow any such Trust REMIC to receive income from the performance of services or from assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by such Trust REMIC (provided, however, that the receipt of any income expressly permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed to violate this clause); and (iii) not permit the creation of any “interests,” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, in the Upper-Tier REMIC other than the Regular Certificates and the Upper-Tier REMIC Residual Interest, or in the Lower-Tier REMIC other than the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Lower-Tier Residual Interest. None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor shall be responsible or liable for any failure by the Certificate Administrator to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.04. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cooperate in a timely manner with the Certificate Administrator in supplying any information within the Depositor’s, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s control (other than any confidential information) that is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties under this Section 4.04.

(b) The following assumptions are to be used for purposes of determining the anticipated payments of principal and interest for calculating the original yield to maturity and original issue discount with respect to the Regular Certificates: (i) each Mortgage Loan will pay principal and interest in accordance with its terms and scheduled payments will be timely received on their Due Dates, provided that the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate will prepay in accordance with the Prepayment Assumption; (ii) none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor and the Class R Certificateholder will exercise the right described in Section 9.01 of this Agreement to cause early termination of the Trust Fund; and (iii) no Mortgage Loan is repurchased or substituted for by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Article II of this Agreement.

Section 4.05 Imposition of Tax on the Trust REMICs. In the event that any tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on any Trust REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Regular and Class R Certificates; provided that any taxes imposed on any net income from foreclosure property pursuant to Code Section 860G(d) or any similar tax imposed by a state or local jurisdiction shall instead be treated as an expense of the related REO Property in determining Net REO Proceeds with respect to the REO Property (and until such taxes are paid, the Special Servicer from time to time shall withdraw from the REO Account and transfer to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Accounts amounts reasonably determined by the Certificate Administrator to be necessary to pay such taxes, and the Certificate Administrator shall return to the Special Servicer the excess determined by the Certificate Administrator from time to time of the amount in excess of the amount necessary to pay such taxes); provided that any such tax imposed on net income from foreclosure property that exceeds the amount in any such reserve shall be retained from Available Funds as provided in Section 3.06(a)(vii) of this Agreement and the next sentence. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall retain or cause to be retained from the Distribution Account in determining the amount of Available Funds sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is legally owed by any Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Certificate

-216-

Administrator from contesting, at the expense of the Trust Fund, 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 or cause to be segregated, into a separate non-interest bearing account, (i) the net income from any “prohibited transaction” under Code Section 860F(a) or (ii) the amount of any contribution to any Trust REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Code Section 860G(d) and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such tax (and return the balance thereof, if any, to the related Distribution Account). To the extent that any such tax is paid to the IRS, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the related residual interest and shall distribute such retained amounts to the Holders of Regular Certificates or to the Certificate Administrator in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests until they are fully reimbursed and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the related residual interest. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on any Trust REMIC except to the extent such tax is attributable to a breach of a representation or warranty of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee or an act or omission of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee in contravention of this Agreement in both cases, provided, further, that such breach, act or omission could result in liability under Section 6.03, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or Section 4.04 or Section 8.01, in the case of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in each such case, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not be responsible for the Certificate Administrator’s, the Authenticating Agent’s, the Certificate Registrar’s, the Paying Agent’s or the Trustee’s breaches, acts or omissions, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, and the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and, in each case if a different entity than the Certificate Administrator, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent.

Section 4.06 Remittances; P&I Advances.

(a) On the Master Servicer Remittance Date immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall:

(i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Charges applicable to the Mortgage Loans (but not a Companion Loan) received by the Master Servicer in the Prepayment Period preceding such Distribution Date;

(ii) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account an amount equal to (A) the Available Funds for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account and (B) any Compensating Interest Payment and/or amount from the 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Account

-217-

required to be transferred on such Master Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 3.13 of this Agreement;

(iii) make a P&I Advance by remittance to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, in an amount equal to the sum of the Applicable Monthly Payments for each Mortgage Loan (including any REO Mortgage Loan and any Mortgage Loan related to a Whole Loan, but not a Companion Loan) to the extent such amounts were not received on such Mortgage Loan as of the corresponding Determination Date in the same month as such Master Servicer Remittance Date); and

(iv) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account all Excess Interest for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account after giving effect to withdrawals of funds pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) through Section 3.06(a)(x) of this Agreement.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required or permitted to make an advance for Balloon Payments, Default Interest, Excess Interest or Yield Maintenance Charges. The amount required to be advanced in respect of Applicable Monthly Payments on Mortgage Loans that have been subject to an Appraisal Reduction Event will equal (i) the amount required to be advanced by the Master Servicer without giving effect to such Appraisal Reduction Amounts less (ii) an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount required to be advanced by the Master Servicer in respect to delinquent payments of interest without giving effect to such Appraisal Reduction Amounts, and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan and the denominator of which is the Stated Principal Balance as of the last day of the related Collection Period.

Any amount advanced by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iii) of this Agreement shall constitute a P&I Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement (with interest at the Advance Rate).

The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee by telephone if as of 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Certificate Administrator has not received the amount of a required P&I Advance hereunder. If as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Distribution Date the Master Servicer shall not have made the P&I Advance required to have been made on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iii) of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day deposit into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account in immediately available funds an amount equal to the P&I Advances otherwise required to have been made by the Master Servicer.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be obligated to make a P&I Advance as to any Monthly Payment on any date on which a P&I Advance is otherwise required to be made by this Section 4.06 if the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or the Special Servicer determines that such advance will be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make P&I Advances that it has made (or in the case of a determination by the Special Servicer, that the Master Servicer or the

-218-

Trustee has made) a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be made by such Person, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and in the case of the Trustee, its good faith business judgment. In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as is” or then current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time and may obtain at the expense of the Trust Fund any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes. Furthermore, the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any proposed Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and may deliver to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative notice of such determination, which determination will be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse any other authorized Person’s determination, or to prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that an Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance). The Master Servicer shall be required to provide notice to the Trustee on or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date of any such non-recoverability determination made on or prior to such date. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that a P&I Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, however, that if the Master Servicer has failed to make a P&I Advance for reasons other than a determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Trustee shall make such advance within the time periods required by this Section 4.06 unless the Trustee, in its good faith business judgment, makes a determination prior to the times specified in this Section 4.06 that such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Special Servicer shall report, promptly upon making a determination contemplated in this paragraph, to the Master Servicer the Special Servicer’s determination as to whether any P&I Advance made with respect to any previous Distribution Date or required to be made with respect to a future Distribution Date with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination.

The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of P&I Advances it makes (together with interest thereon) to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) of this Agreement and each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer hereby covenants and agrees to promptly seek and effect the reimbursement of such Advances from the related Mortgagors to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan.

(b) The determination by the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer that a P&I Advance has become a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made pursuant to this Section 4.06 with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or with

-219-

respect to any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect to any of the foregoing), would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered on or prior to the next Master Servicer Remittance Date to the Trustee (unless it is the Person making the determination), the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the Master Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination), the Special Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination) and, if the Trustee is making the determination, the Depositor, setting forth the basis for such determination, together with any other information that supports such determination together with a copy of any Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be (which Appraisal shall be an expense of the Trust, shall take into account any material change in circumstances of which such Person is aware or such Person has received new information, either of which has a material effect on the value and shall have been conducted in accordance with the standards of the Appraisal Institute within the twelve months preceding such determination of nonrecoverability), and further accompanied by related Mortgagor operating statements and financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property (to the extent available and/or in such Person’s possession) and any engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports that such Person may have obtained and that support such determination. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances with respect to prior P&I Advances for the purpose of nonrecoverability determinations as if such amounts were xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances.

(c) If the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has received written notice from Xxxxx’x, Fitch or KBRA to the effect that continuation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in such capacity would result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any rating then assigned by Xxxxx’x, Fitch or KBRA, as applicable, to any Class of Certificates and citing servicing concerns with such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in such rating action, and such notice is not rescinded within 60 days, then the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other such parties and the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Companion Interest Holder and the applicable master servicer of any Companion Interest.

Section 4.07 Grantor Trust Reporting. The parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the right to receive all Excess Interest with respect to the Mortgage Loans and related amounts held from time to time in the Excess Interest Distribution Account, which will be beneficially owned by the Holders of the Class S Certificates, be treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the Certificate Administrator shall obtain a taxpayer identification number for the Grantor Trust on IRS Form SS-4 and shall furnish or cause to be furnished annually, and shall file or cause to be filed with the IRS together with Form 1041 or Form 1099 or such other Tax Return or form as may be applicable, to the Holders of the Class S Certificates, the amount of any Excess Interest received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Under no circumstances shall the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer have the power to vary the investment of the Class S Certificates in the Grantor Trust to take advantage of variations in the market rate of interest to improve their rate of return.

-220-

If the Certificate Administrator determines that any Class S Certificate is held through a nominee, then the Grantor Trust will be treated as a WHFIT that is a WHMT. In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall report as required under the WHFIT Regulations, provided that the Certificate Administrator receives on a timely basis any and all information not already in its possession reasonably necessary for it to do so. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on its determination that a Class S Certificate is held through a middleman and shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the event that the IRS makes a determination that such determination is incorrect. As of the Closing Date, the Class S Certificates are not held through a nominee.

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 is under no obligation to determine whether the Holder of any Class S Certificate or other beneficial owner of a Class S Certificate, to the extent the Certificate Administrator knows of any other beneficial owner of a Class S Certificate, uses the cash or accrual method. The Certificate Administrator shall make available information as required by the WHFIT Regulations to such Holders of Class S Certificates annually. In addition, the Certificate Administrator is not responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Holder of any Class S Certificate unless requested by such Holder.

The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder (which shall solely be the responsibility of the related Holders of Class S Certificates) if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information that is not in its possession being provided to the Certificate Administrator, or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Certificate Administrator. Absent receipt of information regarding any sale of securities, 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.

To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIP Numbers for the Class S Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent CUSIP Numbers have been received. The Certificate Administrator is not liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP Number information.

During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global 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 Global Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of a

-223-

Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or a Regulation S Global 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 Global Certificates, which shall be held by the Certificate Registrar for purposes of effecting the exchanges contemplated by the preceding paragraph.

(ii) The Certificates of each Class of Private Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A shall be represented by a single, global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each, a “Rule 144A Global Certificate”), 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 Principal Amount of a Rule 144A Global 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.

(iii) The Certificates of each Class of Private Certificates offered and sold in the United States to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers, the Class S Certificates and Class R Certificates (collectively, 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.

(d) Owners of beneficial interests in Global Certificates of any Class shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Certificates unless: (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Global Certificates of such Class or ceases to be a Clearing Agency, and the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor are unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days of such notice; or (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Trustee to obtain possession of the Certificates of such Class; or (iii) in the case of a Private Certificate, all of the applicable requirements of Section 5.03 of this Agreement are satisfied; provided, however, that under no circumstances will certificated Private Certificates be issued to beneficial owners of a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form of Global Certificates and upon surrender by the Depository of any Global Certificate of such Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for reregistration, the Certificate Registrar

-224-

shall issue Certificates of such Class in the form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Global Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne by such Global Certificate), and thereafter the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders under this Agreement.

(e) If any Beneficial Owner wishes to transfer its interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, or wishes to transfer its interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate to a “U.S. person” (as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) that is an Institutional Accredited Investor but not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, then the transferee shall take delivery in the form of a Non-Book Entry Certificate, subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such Non-Book Entry Certificate in Section 5.03(h) of this Agreement. No such transfer shall be made and the Certificate Registrar shall not register any such transfer unless such transfer complies with the provisions of Section 5.03(h) of this Agreement applicable to transfers of Non-Book Entry Certificates. Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for a Non-Book Entry Certificate, as provided herein, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse on the schedule affixed to the related Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Global Certificate and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the denomination of such Global Certificate equal to the denomination of such Non-Book Entry Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof.

The Certificate Registrar shall effect such exchange by delivering to the Depository for credit to the respective accounts of such holders, a duly executed and authenticated Regulation S Global Certificate, representing the aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate initially exchanged for interests in the Regulation S Global Certificate.

(i) Other Exchanges. In the event that a Global Certificate is exchanged for a Definitive Certificate (other than as otherwise set forth in Section 5.02(d) of this Agreement), such Certificates may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of clauses (c) through (f) and (h) above (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Act, at the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Certificate Registrar.

(k) If Private 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 Private 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, Rule 144 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 under the Act. Upon provision

-229-

of such satisfactory evidence, the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Certificates that do not bear such legend.

(l) All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with the Certificate Registrar’s customary procedures.

In addition, no ERISA Restricted Certificate or interest therein may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be a Plan, or to any Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of a Plan to purchase such ERISA Restricted Certificate or interest therein, unless (i) such purchaser or transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source of funds used to acquire or hold such ERISA Restricted Certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (iii) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.

Except in connection with the transfer thereof by an Underwriter or the Depositor, each prospective transferee of an ERISA Restricted Certificate, a Class S Certificate or a Class R Certificate in Non-Book Entry Certificate form shall deliver to the transferor, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit L-3 to this Agreement. Each beneficial owner of a Certificate (other than a Class R or Class S Certificate) or any interest therein will be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of such Certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or an entity using assets of a Plan, (ii) in the case of a Certificate other than an ERISA Restricted Certificate, it has acquired and is holding the Offered Certificates in reliance on the Underwriter Exemption, and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriter Exemption, including that the Offered Certificates must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by a rating agency which meets the requirements or is specified in the Underwriter Exemption and that such Offered Certificate is so rated and that it is an Institutional Accredited Investor or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied. Each beneficial owner of a Certificate or an interest therein which is a governmental plan subject to Similar Law shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of such Certificate or interest therein that the acquisition, holding and disposition of such Certificate by the purchaser will not constitute or otherwise result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law. Any attempted or purported transfer in violation of these transfer restrictions shall be null and

-230-

void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any purported transferee and shall not relieve the transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates.

(n) Each Person who has or acquires any Residual Ownership Interest shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Residual Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring any Residual Ownership Interest are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(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.

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.

Neither the Depositor nor the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer nor the Operating Advisor shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and in its opinion does not expose it to any expense or liability for which reimbursement is not reasonably assured; provided, however, that the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor may in its discretion undertake any such action related to its obligations hereunder which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder.

Section 6.04 Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor.

(a) Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor may assign its respective rights and delegate its respective duties and obligations under this Agreement, and provided, that, with respect to any of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor: (i) the successor accepting such assignment and delegation (A) shall be an established mortgage finance entity, bank or other entity regularly engaged in the servicing of commercial mortgage loans (or, in the case of the Operating Advisor, an Eligible Operating Advisor), organized and doing business under the laws of any state of the United States, the District of Columbia or the United States, authorized under such laws to perform the duties of a servicer of mortgage loans or a Person resulting from a merger, consolidation or succession that is permitted under Section 6.02 of this Agreement and, in the case of a Whole Loan, under the related Intercreditor Agreement, and (B) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an agreement which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be, under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency has delivered to the Trustee a Rating Agency Confirmation; (iii) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall not be released from its obligations under this Agreement that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment and delegation under this Section 6.04; (iv) the rate at which the Operating Advisor Fee, the Servicing Fee or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable (or any component thereof) is calculated shall not exceed the rate then in effect; and (v) the resigning Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of each other party hereto, the Trust and the Rating Agencies in connection with such transfer. Upon acceptance of such assignment and delegation, the purchaser or transferee shall be the successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, hereunder.

(b) Except as provided in this Section 6.04, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall not resign from their respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on them except upon determination that such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law; provided that, on and after the time the Trustee receives notice of resignation by the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Special Servicer upon determination that such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law, the Trustee shall, subject to the terms and provisions of Section 7.02 of this Agreement as if the resigning party was a Terminated Party, be its successor in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer, Operating Advisor or Special Servicer, as applicable, as though the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, had received a notice of termination. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the resigning Master Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s or Operating Advisor’s expense) to such effect delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, no resignation or removal of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor as contemplated herein shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer

-239-

or Operating Advisor shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Operating Advisor’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder. If no successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor can be obtained to perform such obligations for the same compensation to which the terminated Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor would have been entitled, additional amounts payable to such successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor shall be treated as a shortfall resulting in Realized Losses; provided that, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative prior to the appointment of a successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor at a servicing or operating advisor compensation in excess of that permitted to the terminated Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable.

If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 6.04 as successor to the resigning Master Servicer, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that the Trustee’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 6.04, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 6.04.

Section 6.05 Rights of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in Respect of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, subject to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, each Rating Agency, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all records maintained by it in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to its officers responsible for such obligations, if reasonably related to the performance of the obligations of such Person under this Agreement. Upon request, if reasonably related to the performance of the obligations of such Person under this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, each of the Underwriters, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator its most recent publicly available annual financial statements or those of its public parent. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder which are in default and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of such Person hereunder or exercise its rights hereunder, provided that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. In the event the Depositor or its designee undertakes any such action it will be reimbursed by the Trust Fund from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 6.03 of this Agreement to the extent not recoverable from the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Master Servicer) shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and neither such Person is obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate

-240-

Administrator and neither such Person is obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement or otherwise.

Each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Special Servicer shall furnish such reports, certifications and information as are reasonably requested by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in order to enable such requesting party to perform its duties hereunder, provided that for the avoidance of doubt, this shall not require any Person to prepare any reports, Certificates and information not required to be prepared hereunder.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be under any obligation to disclose confidential or proprietary information pursuant to this Section.

Section 6.06 Master Servicer, Special Servicer as Owner of a Certificate. The Master Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer may become the Holder (or with respect to a Global Certificate, Beneficial Owner) of any Certificate with the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. If, at any time during which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is the Holder or Beneficial Owner of any Certificate, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take action (including for this purpose, omitting to take action) that (i) is not expressly prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, violate the Servicing Standard, and (ii) if taken, might nonetheless, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, be considered by other Persons to violate the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may seek the approval of the Certificateholders and any affected Companion Loan Holder to such action by delivering to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a written notice that (i) states that it is delivered pursuant to this Section 6.06, (ii) identifies the Percentage Interest in each Class of Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, and (iii) describes in reasonable detail the action that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take. The Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of such notice, shall forward it to the Certificateholders (other than the Master Servicer and its Affiliates or the Special Servicer and its Affiliates, as appropriate) together with such instructions for response as the Certificate Administrator shall reasonably determine. If at any time Certificateholders holding greater than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders (calculated without regard to the Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or its Affiliates or the Special Servicer or its Affiliates) and any affected Companion Loan Holder shall have consented in writing to the proposal described in the written notice, and if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall act as proposed in the written notice, such action shall be deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of the reasonable expenses of the Certificate Administrator incurred pursuant to this paragraph. It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder, except in the case of unusual circumstances.

-241-

Section 6.07 Rating Agency Fees. The Depositor shall pay (or cause to be paid) the annual fees of each Rating Agency including, but not limited to, surveillance fees.

Upon a termination (pursuant to the prior sentence) or a resignation (pursuant to Section 6.04(b) of this Agreement) of the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative shall appoint a successor Special Servicer; provided, however, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.02 of this Agreement, (ii) the Controlling Class Representative shall (at no expense to the Trust) obtain and deliver to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such proposed successor acting as a Special Servicer, and (iii) in the case of the appointment of a successor Special Servicer with respect to a Whole Loan, the Controlling Class Representative shall (at no expense to the Trust or the related Other Securitization Trust) obtain and deliver to the certificate administrator (if any) and the trustee for the related Other Securitization Trust (with a copy to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee) a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such proposed successor acting as a Special Servicer for the related Companion Loan.

Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer with a proposed successor Special Servicer, (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) delivery by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the termination of the existing Special Servicer and the replacement thereof with the proposed successor (with the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation to be an expense of such holders), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on its internet website and by mailing at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register. Upon the written direction of (a) Holders of Regular Certificates evidencing at least 75% of the Voting Rights of the Regular Certificates or (b) Holders of Non-Reduced Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, and the proposed successor Special Servicer shall succeed to the duties of the Special Servicer all as if a removal and replacement were occurring pursuant to Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 of this Agreement; provided that if such written direction is not provided within 180 days of the initial request for a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer, then such written direction shall have no force and effect. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this Section 6.08(a) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the

-242-

Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Special Servicer shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Special Servicer.

The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner may access notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner may register to receive e-mail notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders for the reasonable expenses of posting such notices.

(b) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, if the Operating 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 Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written recommendation in the form of Exhibit T 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 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 meeting the applicable requirements of this Agreement, which recommended special servicer has agreed to succeed as Special Servicer if appointed in accordance herewith. In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post a copy of such recommendation on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and by mail send notice to all Certificateholders, asking them to vote whether they wish to remove the Special Servicer. Upon (i) the written direction of Holders of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates evidencing greater than 50% of the aggregate Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates within 180 days of the initial request for a vote 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 the recommended successor Special Servicer and (ii) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination. The reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation and administering such vote shall be an Additional Trust Fund Expense. In the event that the Certificate Administrator does not receive at least 50% of the requested votes within 180 days of the initial request for such vote, then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer and such recommendation shall have no force or effect. 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 6.08(b).

-243-

(c) In no event may a successor Special Servicer be a current or former Operating Advisor or any Affiliate of such current or former Operating Advisor.

Any termination fee payable to the terminated Special Servicer and any costs incurred by the Trust or the terminated Special Servicer in connection with the replacement of a Special Servicer shall be paid by the Controlling Class Representative Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holder so terminating the Special Servicer and shall not in any event be an expense of the Trust Fund.

(e) No termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor Special Servicer shall be effective until (i) the successor Special Servicer shall have executed and delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an agreement which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Special Servicer under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement and (ii) subject to Section 3.29 of this Agreement, each Rating Agency has delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a Rating Agency Confirmation and, if required pursuant to Section 6.08(a), each Companion Loan Rating Agency has delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and their respective counterparts with respect to the Other Securitization Trust a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, in each case with respect to such termination and appointment of a successor.

Section 6.09 The Controlling Class Representative.

(a) For so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to Performing Loans as to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to Section 6.09(b) and the second and

-245-

third paragraphs of this Section 6.09(a), both (a) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision unless it has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer, who shall have 15 Business Days (or 60 days with respect to the determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default) (from the date that the Special Servicer receives the information from the Master Servicer) to analyze and make a recommendation regarding such Major Decision (provided that if the Special Servicer does not consent, or notify the Master Servicer that it will not consent, to such Major Decision within the required 15 Business Days or 60 days, as applicable, the Special Servicer shall be deemed to have consented to such Major Decision) and (b) for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any of the actions constituting a Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision as to which the Controlling Class Representative has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, twenty (20) days) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis from the Special Servicer; provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day period or twenty (20) day period, as applicable, then the Controlling Class Representative will be deemed to have approved such action; provided, further, 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 a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Class Representative prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event in this Agreement, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and related Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender), the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Class Representative’s (or, if applicable, the Special Servicer’s) response. The Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Controlling Class Representative for any Major Decision following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event; provided that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult (on a non-binding basis) with the Controlling Class Representative (until the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Operating Advisor in connection with any Major Decision and consider alternative actions recommended by the Controlling Class Representative and the Operating Advisor, but only to the extent such consultation with, or consent of, the Controlling Class Representative would have been required prior to the occurrence and continuance of such Control Termination Event.

In addition, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, as the Controlling Class Representative may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein. 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 Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate any provision of any Loan Documents, applicable law, this Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation each of the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the

-246-

Certificate Administrator, the Trust Fund or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and/or the Companion Loan Holders.

In the event the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Controlling Class Representative or any advice from the Controlling Class Representative would otherwise cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Loan Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement, applicable law, the REMIC Provisions 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 in writing the Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider 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 Controlling Class Representative 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 Controlling Class Representative will have no liability to the Trust Fund or Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, pursuant to this Agreement, or for error in judgment; provided, however, that the Controlling Class Representative will not be protected against any liability to any Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations or duties.

By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) the Controlling Class Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Controlling Class Representative may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class; (iii) the Controlling Class Representative does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class; (iv) the Controlling Class Representative may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) the Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i) - (iv) of this paragraph, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Controlling Class Representative or any affiliate, director, officer, employee, shareholder, member, partner, agent or principal thereof for having so acted; provided, however, that the rights of the Controlling Class Representative are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to consent to any action taken or not taken by any party to this

-247-

Agreement; (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative 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 Controlling Class Representative in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent set forth herein; and (iii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no 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 Controlling Class Representative (provided, however, that the Controlling Class Representative will maintain the right to exercise its Voting Rights for the same purposes as any other Certificateholder under this Agreement).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to instructions from a Companion Loan Holder that would cause any one of them to violate applicable law, the terms of the related Whole Loan, the related Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement, including the Servicing Standard, or the REMIC Provisions or that would (i) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, a Mortgage Loan Seller, the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability, (ii) materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities, or (iii) cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner that is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders or the Servicing Standard.

(d) Each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner of a Control Eligible Certificate is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of such Certificate (or beneficial ownership interest in such Certificate) to provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and to notify the Certificate Administrator of the transfer of any Control Eligible Certificate (or the beneficial ownership of any Control Eligible Certificate), the selection of a Controlling Class Representative or the resignation or removal thereof. Any such Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner) or its designee at any time appointed Controlling Class Representative is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Control Eligible Certificate (or the beneficial ownership interest in a Control Eligible Certificate) to notify the Certificate Administrator when such Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner) or designee is appointed Controlling Class Representative and when it is removed or resigns. Upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Trustee of the identity of the Controlling Class Representative, any resignation or removal thereof and/or any new Holder or Beneficial Owner of a Control Eligible Certificate. In addition, upon the request of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall provide the identity of the then-current Controlling Class and a list of the Certificateholders (or Beneficial Owners, if applicable, at the expense of the Trust if such expense arises in connection with an event as to which the Controlling Class Representative or the Controlling Class has consent or consultation rights pursuant to this Agreement, and otherwise at the expense of the requesting party) of the Controlling Class to such requesting party.

-248-

In the event of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly contact Xxxxx-Xxxxx Investors LLC, or, if applicable, any successor Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder(s), and determine whether such entity is the Holder (or Beneficial Owner) of at least a majority of the Controlling Class (in effect after such change in Controlling Class) by Certificate Principal Amount. If at any time that Xxxxx-Xxxxx Investors LLC, or any successor Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder(s) is no longer the Holder (or Beneficial Owner) of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Principal Amount and the Certificate Administrator has neither (i) received notice of the then-current Controlling Class Certificateholders of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Principal Amount nor (ii) received notice of a replacement Controlling Class Representative pursuant to this Agreement, then a Control Termination Event and a Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be deemed to continue until such time as the Certificate Administrator receives either such notice.

Upon receipt of notice of a change in Controlling Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly forward notice thereof to each other party to this Agreement.

(e) Once a Controlling Class Representative has been selected pursuant to clause (c) above, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and each other Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless a majority of the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class, by Certificate Principal Amount, or such Controlling Class Representative shall have notified the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and each other Certificateholder of the Controlling Class, in writing, of the resignation of such Controlling Class Representative or the selection of a new Controlling Class Representative. Upon receipt of written notice of, or other knowledge of, the resignation of a Controlling Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall request the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class to select a new Controlling Class Representative.

(f) If at any time a book-entry certificate belongs to the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related Beneficial Owner or Beneficial Owners (through the Depository, unless the Certificate Administrator shall have been previously provided with the name and address of such Beneficial Owner or Beneficial Owners) of such event and shall request that it be informed of any change in the identity of the related Beneficial Owner from time to time.

(g) Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor and the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity of the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class and the Controlling Class Representative.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during such time as the Class E Certificates is the Controlling Class, the Holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class Certificates (by Certificate Principal Amount) may waive its right to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling

-249-

Class Representative or to cause the exercise of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative as set forth in this Agreement by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor (any such Holder or group of affiliated Holders that makes such an election, the “Opting-Out Party”). Any such waiver shall remain effective, and a Control Termination Event and a Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be deemed to continue, with respect to such Holder and such Class until such time as the Opting-Out Party (i) sells a majority of the Class E Certificates (by Certificate Principal Amount) to an unaffiliated third party and (ii) certifies to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor that (a) the Opting-Out Party retains no direct or indirect voting rights with respect to the Class E Certificates that it does not own, (b) there is no voting agreement between the Opting-Out Party and the transferee and (c) the Opting-Out Party retains no direct or indirect economic interest in the Class E Certificates (such sale and certification, a “Class E Transfer”). Following any such Class E Transfer, the successor holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class Certificates (by Certificate Principal Amount) shall again have the rights of the Controlling Class Representative as set forth herein (including the rights to appoint a Controlling Class Representative or cause the exercise of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative) without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Certificateholder. The successor Certificateholder shall also have the right as provided in this Section 6.09(h) to irrevocably waive its rights to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative or to cause the exercise of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative as set forth in this Agreement. No successor Certificateholder described above shall have any consent rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the Class E Transfer and had not also become a Corrected Loan prior to such Class E Transfer until such time as such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Loan.

-252-

(any primary servicer or Sub-Servicer that defaults in accordance with this Section 7.01(a)(xi) shall be terminated at the direction of the Depositor);

then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either (i) the Trustee may or (ii) upon the written direction of the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates or, with respect to the related Whole Loan only, at the direction of an affected Companion Loan Holder to the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, terminate the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it shall not be a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the pool of Mortgage Loans under clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (viii), (ix) and/or (x) above if the failure, default or event only has an adverse effect on a Companion Loan, a Companion Loan Holder or a rating on any Companion Loan Securities, but shall be a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the related Companion Loan and any related Companion Loan Holder shall: (i) in the case of any such failure, default or event on the part of the Master Servicer, have the remedies set forth in Section 7.01(d) with respect to the Servicer Termination Event with respect to the related Companion Loan; and (ii) with respect to any such failure, default or event on the part of the Special Servicer, be able to require termination of the Special Servicer with respect to, but only with respect to, the related Whole Loan.

In the event that the Master Servicer is also the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer is terminated as provided in this Section 7.01, the Master Servicer shall also be terminated as Special Servicer.

(b) If the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under Section 7.01(c) solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(viii), Section 7.01(a)(ix) or Section 7.01(a)(x) and if the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within five (5) Business Days following such termination notice, then the Master Servicer shall continue to service as Master Servicer hereunder until a successor Master Servicer is selected in accordance with this Section 7.01(b). Upon receipt of the “request for proposal” materials, Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01(c)) solicit good faith bids for the rights to service the Mortgage Loans and the Whole Loan under this Agreement from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as a successor Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.02 (any such Person so qualified, a “Qualified Bidder”) or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many persons as the Trustee can determine are Qualified Bidders; provided that, the Master Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids; and provided, further, that the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement. The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within 45 days after the notice of termination of the Master Servicer. The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash bid (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that if the Trustee does not receive a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency within ten (10) days after the selection of such Successful Bidder, then the Trustee shall repeat the bid process described above (but subject to the above-described 45-day time period) until such confirmation is obtained. The

-253-

Trustee shall request the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof no later than 45 days after notice of the termination of the Master Servicer.

Upon the assignment and acceptance of master servicing rights hereunder (subject to the terms of Section 3.12 of this Agreement) to and by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) of this Agreement, the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing).

The Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) of this Agreement shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the attempt to sell its rights to service the Mortgage Loans and the Whole Loans, which expenses are not reimbursed to the party that incurred such expenses pursuant to the preceding paragraph.

If the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer within the above-described time period or no Successful Bidder was identified within the above-described time period, the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such bid process and the Trustee shall have no further obligations under this Section 7.01(b). The Trustee thereafter may act or may select a successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.02.

(c) In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be (the “Terminated Party”), terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and Whole Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may have hereunder as a Certificateholder and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Advance Rate on such amounts until received to the extent such amounts bear interest as provided in this Agreement, with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.03 and subsection (b) above notwithstanding any such termination). On or after the receipt by the Terminated Party of such written notice, all of its authority and power under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (except that the Terminated Party shall retain its rights as a Certificateholder in the event and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder) or the Mortgage Loans and Whole Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Terminated 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 Whole Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each agrees that, in the event it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, to promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) provide, at its own expense, the Trustee (or the successor

-254-

Master Servicer selected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, otherwise appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement) with all documents and records requested by the Trustee (or the successor Master Servicer selected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, otherwise appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement) to enable the Trustee or other successor to its responsibilities hereunder to assume its functions hereunder, and to cooperate with the Trustee and the successor to its responsibilities hereunder in effecting the termination and transfer of its responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the Collection Account, any Whole Loan Custodial Account, any REO Account or Lock-Box Account shall thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Whole Loans, and shall promptly provide the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (which may include the Trustee), as applicable, all documents and records reasonably requested by it, such documents and records to be provided in such form as the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall reasonably request (including electromagnetic form), to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s function hereunder. All reasonable third-party costs and expenses actually incurred by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer in connection with transferring Mortgage Files, Servicing Files and related information, records and reports to the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect (as well as providing appropriate notices to Mortgagors, ground lessors, insurers and other applicable third parties regarding) such succession as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund; provided that the Terminated Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses.

(d) Notwithstanding Sections 7.01(a) and Section 7.01(c), if (1) any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects a Companion Loan Holder of a Whole Loan and the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 7.01(c), or (2) a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer occurs that affects only the Companion Loan, the Master Servicer may not be terminated in accordance with Section 7.01(c), but, at the written direction of the Companion Loan Holder, the Trustee shall require the Master Servicer to appoint, within 30 days of the Trustee’s request, a sub-servicer (or, if the Whole Loan is currently being sub-serviced, to replace, within 30 days of the Trustee’s request, the then current sub-servicer with a new sub-servicer). In connection with the Master Servicer’s appointment of any sub-servicer at the request of the Trustee in accordance with this Section 7.01(d), the Master Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. The related sub-servicing agreement shall provide that any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of the Trustee in accordance with this Section 7.01(d) shall be responsible for all duties, and shall be entitled to all compensation (other

-255-

than the Excess Servicing Fee Right), of the Master Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the related Whole Loan, except that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain a portion of the Servicing Fee for the Mortgage Loan that is part of the related Whole Loan calculated at 0.01% per annum with respect to such Mortgage Loan (and any related REO Mortgage Loan). Such sub-servicing agreement (a) may be terminated without cause and without payment of any fee and (b) shall also provide that such sub-servicer shall agree to become the master servicer under a separate servicing agreement for the applicable Whole Loan in the event that the Whole Loan is no longer to be serviced and administered hereunder, which separate servicing agreement shall contain servicing and administration, limitation of liability, indemnification and servicing compensation provisions substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, except for the fact that the applicable Whole Loan and the related Mortgaged Properties shall be the sole assets serviced and administered thereunder and the sole source of funds thereunder. If any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of the Trustee in accordance with this Section 7.01(d) shall at any time resign or be terminated, the Master Servicer shall be required to promptly appoint a substitute sub-servicer and obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation. In the event a successor Master Servicer is acting hereunder and that successor Master Servicer desires to terminate the sub-servicer appointed under this Section 7.01(d), the terminated Master Servicer that was responsible for the Servicer Termination Event that led to the appointment of such sub-servicer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with such termination, including the payment of any termination fee.

(e) If the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer has received notice from Fitch, Xxxxx’x or KBRA that the Master Servicer no longer is an approved master servicer then such party shall promptly notify the others and the Special Servicer, and the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related Companion Loan Holder of the same.

Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be its successor 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, except as provided herein, shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, limitations on liability and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer or Special Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that (i) the Trustee shall have no responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations with respect to any act or omission of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and (ii) any failure to perform, or delay in performing, such duties or responsibilities caused by the Terminated Party’s failure to provide, or delay in providing, records, tapes, disks, information or moneys shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement prior to the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s termination. The appointment of a successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Master Servicer or Special Servicer. The Trustee shall not be liable for any of the representations, liabilities or warranties of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or predecessor Special Servicer or for any losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07 of this Agreement

-256-

nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable, and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans and Companion Loans that accrue after the date of the Trustee’s succession to which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, had continued to act hereunder. In the event any Advances made by the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall at any time be outstanding, or any amounts of interest thereon shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay Advances and interest hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances made by the Trustee (and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon), until such Advances and interest shall have been repaid in full. Notwithstanding the above and subject to Section 6.08, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, or if the Rating Agencies do not provide Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to the Trustee so acting, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution for which a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has been obtained (at the expense of the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or, if the expense is not so recovered, at the expense of the Trust Fund), as the successor to the Master Servicer or 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 Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer is also the Master Servicer) hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. Pending the appointment of a successor to the Special Servicer, unless the Master Servicer is also the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall act in such capacity. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans and Companion Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party hereunder; provided, further, that if no successor to the Terminated Party can be obtained to perform the obligations of such Terminated Party hereunder, additional amounts shall be paid to such successor and such amounts in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party shall be treated as Realized Losses; provided, further, that, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative prior to the appointment of a successor to the Terminated Party at such amounts in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.02 as successor to the terminated Master Servicer, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that the Trustee’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the terminated Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.02, it may

-257-

reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 7.02.

Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders.

(a) Upon any termination pursuant to Section 7.01 above or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, to the Companion Loan Holders and electronically, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider.

(b) Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge, the Certificate Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates and any affected Companion Loan Holder (to the extent the Certificate Administrator has received the notice information for such Companion Loan Holder after a request therefor) and electronically, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event, unless such Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event shall have been cured or waived.

Section 7.04 Other Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any Servicer Termination Event, so long as such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.01, shall have the right, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). In such event, the legal fees, expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the defaulting Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to remedy, after the presentation of reasonable documentation, the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such expenses, costs and liability from the Collection Account or the Whole Loan Custodial Account, as applicable, as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 3.06A of this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be relieved of such liability for such expenses, costs and liabilities. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Servicer Termination Event of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

Section 7.05 Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events and Operating Advisor Termination Events; Termination. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than

-258-

66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates (and, if such Servicer Termination Event is on the part of a Special Servicer, with respect to the related Whole Loan only, by each affected Companion Loan Holder) may, on behalf of all Holders of Certificates, waive any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or any Operating Advisor Termination Event on the part of the Operating Advisor in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a Servicer Termination Event in connection with making any required deposits (including, with respect to the Master Servicer, P&I Advances) to or payments from the Collection Account, a Whole Loan Custodial Account or the Lower-Tier Distribution Account or in remitting payments as received, in each case in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with such default and prior to such waiver shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, promptly upon demand therefor and if not reimbursed to the Certificate Administrator within 90 days of such demand, from the Trust Fund; provided that the Trust Fund shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, to the extent such amounts are reimbursed to the Certificate Administrator from the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) a Servicer Termination Event under any of Section 7.01(a)(i) and Section 7.01(a)(ii) of this Agreement may be waived only by all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes, and (b) a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(xi) of this Agreement may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor, together with (in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b)) the consent of each Companion Loan Holder, if any, that is affected by such Servicer Termination Event.

The foregoing paragraph notwithstanding, if the Holders representing at least the requisite percentage of the Voting Rights allocated to each affected Class of Certificates desire to waive a Servicer Termination Event by the Master Servicer, but a Companion Loan Holder related to a Whole Loan (if adversely affected thereby) does not wish to waive that Servicer Termination Event, then those Certificateholders may still waive that Servicer Termination Event, and the applicable Companion Loan Holder will be entitled to request that the Master Servicer appoint, within 60 days of the applicable Companion Loan Holder’s request, a sub-servicer (or, if the applicable Whole Loan is currently being subserviced, to replace, within 60 days of the applicable Companion Loan Holder’s request, the then current sub-servicer with a new sub-servicer) with respect to the applicable Whole Loan. In connection with the Master Servicer’s appointment of a sub-servicer at the request of a Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.05, the Master Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency at the expense of the Companion Loan Holder. The related sub-servicing agreement shall provide that any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of a Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.05 shall be responsible for all duties, and shall be entitled to all compensation (other than the Excess Servicing Fee Right), of the Master Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Whole Loan, except that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain a portion of the master servicing fee for the related Mortgage Loan calculated at 0.01% per annum. Such Sub-Servicing Agreement (a) may be terminated without cause and without the payment of any fee and (b) shall also provide that such sub-servicer shall become the master servicer under a separate servicing

-259-

agreement for the applicable Whole Loan in the event that the Whole Loan is no longer to be serviced and administered hereunder, which separate servicing agreement shall contain servicing and administration, limitation of liability, indemnification and servicing compensation provisions substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, except for the fact that the applicable Whole Loan and the related Mortgaged Properties shall be the sole assets serviced and administered thereunder and the sole source of funds thereunder. Such sub-servicer (a) may be terminated without cause and without the payment of any fee and (b) shall meet the requirements of Section 3.01 of this Agreement. If any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of a Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.05 shall at any time resign or be terminated, the Master Servicer shall be required to promptly appoint a substitute sub-servicer with respect to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained at the expense of the applicable resigning or terminated sub-servicer (and any applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement shall so provide), and if the resigning or terminated sub-servicer fails to cover such expense, the Master Servicer shall do so. In the event a successor Master Servicer is acting hereunder and that successor Master Servicer desires to terminate the sub-servicer appointed under this Section 7.05, the terminated Master Servicer that was responsible for the Servicer Termination Event that led to the appointment of such sub-servicer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with such termination, including the payment of any termination fee.

Section 7.06 Termination of the Operating Advisor.

(a) An “Operating Advisor Termination Event” means any one of the following events whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:

(i) any failure by the Operating Advisor to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Operating Advisor by the Trustee or to the Operating Advisor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates; provided, however, that with respect to any such failure which is not curable within such 30-day period, the Operating Advisor shall have an additional cure period of thirty (30) days to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure with the initial 30-day period and has provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such cure;

(ii) any failure by the Operating Advisor to perform in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days;

(iii) any failure by the Operating Advisor to be an Eligible Operating Advisor, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days;

-260-

(iv) 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 or receiver or liquidator in any 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 Operating Advisor, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;

(v) the Operating Advisor shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidation committee in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation, or similar proceedings of or relating to the Operating Advisor or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(vi) the Operating 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 insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of notice of the occurrence of any Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on its internet website and by mail, unless the Certificate Administrator has received notice that it has been remedied. If an Operating Advisor Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Operating Advisor Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates, the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination, by notice in writing to the Operating Advisor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Operating Advisor Termination Event of which the Depositor becomes aware.

(b) Upon (i) the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 15% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Operating Advisor with a proposed successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and (ii) payment by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Operating Advisor and to all Certificateholders by (i) posting such notice on its internet website, and (ii) by mail to all Certificateholders at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Operating Advisor. Upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates that exercise their right to vote (provided that Holders of at least 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates exercise their right to vote), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement by notice in writing to the Operating Advisor. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this Section 7.06(b)

-261-

shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Operating Advisor shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Operating Advisor, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Operating Advisor. The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner may access notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner may register to receive e-mail notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders for the reasonable expenses of posting such notices.

(c) On or after the receipt by the Operating Advisor of such written notice of termination, subject to the foregoing, all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Operating Advisor shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 Business Days after (1) the Operating Advisor resigns pursuant to Section 6.04 of this Agreement or (2) the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator delivers such written notice of termination to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee shall appoint a successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor, which successor Operating Advisor may be an Affiliate of the Trustee and shall be the proposed Operating Advisor in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.06(b) of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Trustee is the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, neither the Trustee nor any of its Affiliates shall be the successor Operating Advisor. The Trustee shall provide written notice of the appointment of an Operating Advisor to the Special Servicer and each Operating Advisor within one Business Day of such appointment. Except as contemplated by Section 7.06(b) of this Agreement, the appointment of the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to the vote, consent or approval of the holder of any Class of Certificates. The Operating Advisor shall not at any time be the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, a Sponsor or an Affiliate of any of them. If any of such entities becomes the Operating Advisor, including by means of an Affiliation arising after the date hereof, the Operating Advisor shall immediately resign or cause an assignment under Section 6.04 of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor Operating Advisor subject to and in accordance with this Section 7.06(c), which successor Operating Advisor may be an Affiliate of the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor Operating Advisor within 30 days of the termination of the Operating Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. Unless and until a replacement Operating Advisor is appointed, no party shall act as the Operating Advisor and the provisions in this Agreement relating to consultation with respect to the Operating Advisor shall not be applicable until a replacement Operating Advisor is appointed hereunder.

(d) Upon any termination of the Operating Advisor and appointment of a successor to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (who shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders), the Depositor and, prior to

-262-

the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider. In the event that the Operating Advisor is terminated, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination).

ARTICLE VIII

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR

Section 8.01 Duties of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge and after the curing or waiver of all Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no permissive right of the Trustee shall be construed as a duty. During the continuance of a Servicer Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.02 and Section 7.04 of this Agreement, shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. The Certificate Administrator undertakes to perform at all times such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no permissive right of the Certificate Administrator shall be construed as a duty.

(b) Each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of any resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement to the extent specifically set forth herein; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument provided to it hereunder if accepted in good faith. If any such instrument is found not to conform on its face to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall request a corrected instrument, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, reasonable satisfaction, the Certificate Administrator (if the Certificate Administrator requested the corrected instrument or upon direction from the Trustee if the Trustee requested the corrected instrument) will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders.

(c) Neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or “control” persons within the meaning of the Act shall have any liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, provided that, subject to Section 8.02 of this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to

-263-

relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, or any such person, from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct or its own bad faith; and provided, further, that:

(i) Prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, and after the curing or waiver of all such Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any resolutions, certificates, statements, reports, opinions, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, that conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement without responsibility for investigating the contents thereof;

(ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates entitled to greater than 50% of the Percentage Interests (or such other percentage as is specified herein) of each affected Class, or of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, under this Agreement;

(iv) Neither the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or control persons shall be responsible for any act or omission of any Custodian, Paying Agent or Certificate Registrar that is not the same Person as, or an Affiliate of, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and that is selected other than by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, performed or omitted in compliance with any custodial or other agreement, or any act or omission of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor or any other third Person, including, without limitation, in connection with actions taken pursuant to this Agreement;

(v) Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is incidental to its respective duties as Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, in

-264-

accordance with this Agreement (and, if it does, all reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action shall be expenses and costs of the Trust Fund) and in its opinion does not expose it to any expense or liability for which reimbursement is not reasonably assured, and the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account, unless such legal action arises (i) as a result of any willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of duties of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, or by reason of negligent disregard of the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s, as the case may be, obligations or duties hereunder, or (ii) as a result of the breach by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, of any of its representations or warranties contained herein; provided, however, that the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may in its discretion undertake any such action related to its obligations hereunder which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder; and

Any entity into which the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may be merged or converted, or with which the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall be the successor of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, hereunder, provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act (at the expense of the Trustee) as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Depositor shall not be in existence or shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. Except as required by applicable law, the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of its responsibilities, obligations and liabilities hereunder. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.

In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee solely at the direction of the Trustee.

No trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement. The Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee, or if the separate trustee or co-trustee is an employee of the Trustee, the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

-276-

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. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee. 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. In no event shall any such separate trustee or co-trustee be entitled to any provision relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, such separate trustee or co-trustee that imposes a standard of conduct less stringent than that imposed on the Trustee hereunder, affording greater protection than that afforded to the Trustee hereunder or providing a greater limit on liability than that provided to the Trustee hereunder.

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.

Section 9.01 Termination; Optional Mortgage Loan Purchase.

(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and the Companion Loans (other than the obligation to make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as hereinafter set forth and to make any required remittances to the Companion Loan Holders in the month in which the final Distribution Date occurs and certain tax-related obligations) shall terminate immediately following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or Holders of the Class R Certificates of all the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (or interests therein) then included in the Trust Fund pursuant to subsection (c), (ii) the exchange by the Remaining Certificateholder of its Certificates for all the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (or interests therein) then included in the Trust Fund pursuant to subsection (h) and (iii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property (or interest therein) contained in the Trust Fund; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X.

(b) In connection with a termination contemplated by Section 9.01(a) of this Agreement, the Trust REMICs outstanding shall be terminated and the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC shall be sold or otherwise disposed of in connection therewith, pursuant to a “plan of complete liquidation” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A) providing for the actions contemplated by the provisions hereof pursuant to which the applicable Notice of Termination is given and requiring that the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC shall be sold for cash and that each such Trust REMIC shall terminate on a Distribution Date occurring not more than 90 days following the date of adoption of the plan of complete liquidation.

-279-

Trust REMIC. Notwithstanding the termination of the Trust REMICs, or the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for filing the final Tax Returns for the Trust REMICs and for the Grantor Trust for the period ending with such termination, and shall maintain books and records with respect to the Trust REMICs and the Grantor Trust for the period for which it maintains its own tax returns or other reasonable period.

(c) The Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Principal Amount of the Controlling Class may (or, if such Holders do not, the Special Servicer, or if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer do, the Master Servicer or, if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer does, any Holders of Class R Certificates representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class, may also) effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior notice given to the parties (or, if applicable, the other parties) to this Agreement (whereupon the Master Servicer shall notify the Companion Loan Holders), any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (in the case of each of the Whole Loans, subject to certain rights of the related Companion Loan Holder provided for in the related Intercreditor Agreement) then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired by the Trust Fund in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to (i) the sum of (A) the aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of REO Mortgage Loans) included in the Trust, (B) the Appraised Value of the Trust’s portion of each REO Property, if any, included in the Trust, as determined by the Special Servicer (such Appraisals in clause (i)(B) shall be obtained by the Special Servicer) and (C) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer (unless the Master Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Special Servicer (unless the Special Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, with respect to such termination, minus (ii) solely in the case where the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is effecting such purchase, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances, if any, made by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, together with any interest accrued and payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in respect of such Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees or Special Servicing Fees, as applicable, remaining outstanding (which items will be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with such purchase).

Any Person(s) effecting an early termination of the Trust Fund as provided in the prior paragraph shall first notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by the Holder of a Class R Certificate, notify the Certificate Administrator (who shall notify the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder) of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Anticipated Termination Date. All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to this Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Appraiser pursuant to this subsection (c).

(d) If the Trust Fund has not been previously terminated pursuant to subsection (c) or subsection (h) of this Section 9.01, the Certificate Administrator shall

-280-

determine as soon as practicable the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Administrator reasonably anticipates, based on information with respect to the Mortgage Loans previously provided to it, that the final distribution will be made (i) to the Holders of outstanding Regular Certificates, and to the Trustee in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, notwithstanding that such distribution may be insufficient to distribute in full an amount equal to the remaining Certificate Principal Amount or Lower-Tier Principal Balance, as applicable, of each such Class of Certificates and Lower-Tier Regular Interest, together with amounts required to be distributed on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Agreement, (ii) to the Holders of the Class S Certificates, Excess Interest with respect to the Mortgage Loans received and not previously distributed pursuant to Section 4.01(k) of this Agreement or (iii) if no such Regular Certificates are then outstanding, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates of any amount remaining in the Collection Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier Distribution Account or the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, in any case, following the later to occur of (a) the receipt or collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund or (b) the liquidation or disposition pursuant to Section 3.17 of this Agreement of the last asset held by the Trust Fund.

(e) Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be mailed by the Certificate Administrator to affected Certificateholders at their addresses shown in the Certificate Register (with a copy to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider) as soon as practicable after the Certificate Administrator shall have received, given or been deemed to have received a Notice of Termination but in any event not more than thirty days, and not less than ten days, prior to the Anticipated Termination Date. The notice mailed by the Certificate Administrator to affected Certificateholders shall:

(i) specify the Anticipated Termination Date on which the final distribution is anticipated to be made to Holders of Certificates of the Classes specified therein;

(ii) specify the amount of any such final distribution, if known; and

(iii) state that the final distribution to Certificateholders will be made only upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein specified.

If the Trust Fund is not terminated on any Anticipated Termination Date for any reason, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly mail notice thereof to each affected Certificateholder.

(f) Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 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 Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to

-281-

surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.

(g) For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Remaining Certificateholder shall have the first option to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to subsection (h), and then the Holders of the Controlling Class representing more than 50% of the Certificate Principal Amount of the Controlling Class, and then the Special Servicer, and then the Master Servicer, and then the Holders of Class R Certificates representing more than 50% of the Percentage Interests in such Class, in each of the last four cases, pursuant to subsection (c).

(h) Following the date on which the Class X-A Notional Amount and the aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates are reduced to zero, the Remaining Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates (which shall include all of the then-outstanding Regular Certificates but may exclude the Class S and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or interest therein) remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange; provided that such Remaining Certificateholder shall pay the Master Servicer an amount equal to (i) the product of (A) the Prime Rate, (B) the aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of the then-outstanding Sequential Pay Certificates as of the day of the exchange and (C) three, divided by (ii) 360. In the event that the Remaining Certificateholder elects to exchange all of the Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates), including the Class X-B Certificates, for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or interest therein) remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Remaining Certificateholder, not later than the Termination Date, shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee hereunder through the date of the liquidation of the Trust Fund that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account or Distribution Account, but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account. Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all remaining Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates) by the Remaining Certificateholder on the Termination Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Remaining 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 Remaining Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (or interests

-282-

therein) remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust Fund shall be liquidated in accordance with this Section 9.01. Thereafter, the Trust Fund and the respective obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (other than the making of certain payments to Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders, sending of certain notices, maintenance of books and records and the preparation and filing of final tax returns), shall terminate. Such transfers shall be subject to any rights of any Sub-Servicers to service (or to perform select servicing functions with respect to) the Mortgage Loans. For federal income tax purposes, the Remaining Certificateholder shall be deemed to have purchased the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC for an amount equal to the remaining Certificate Principal Amount of its remaining Certificates (other than the Class S and Class R Certificates), plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributed in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and such Certificates. The remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (or the Trust’s interests therein) are deemed distributed to the Remaining Certificateholder in liquidation of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01.

(b) For so long as the Trust or any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Sub-Servicer and the Certificate Administrator (each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator and each Sub-Servicer, for purposes of this Section 10.02(b) and Section 10.02(c), a “Servicer”) is permitted to utilize one or more Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations hereunder.

Each Servicer shall cause any Subcontractor utilized by such Servicer that is determined to be a Servicing Function Participant to comply with the provisions of Section 10.09 and Section 10.10 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were such Servicer. Such Servicer shall obtain from each such Subcontractor (or, in the case of each Sub-Servicer set forth on Exhibit S, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Sub-Servicer) and deliver to the applicable Persons any assessment of compliance report and related accountant’s attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 10.09 and Section 10.10 of this Agreement, in each case, as and when required to be delivered.

-284-

such Servicer shall be responsible for determining whether such Subcontractor is a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and whether such Subcontractor meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB.

Section 10.03 Filing Obligations.

(a) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall (and shall cause (or, in the case of a Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) each Additional Servicer and Servicing Function Participant utilized thereby to) reasonably cooperate with the Depositor and each Other Depositor in connection with the satisfaction of the Trust’s and each Other Securitization Trust’s reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to Section 10.04, Section 10.05 and Section 10.07, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare for execution by the Depositor any Forms 10-D, 10-K and 8-K required by the Exchange Act with respect to the Trust, in order to permit the timely filing thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall file (via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such Forms executed by the Depositor.

-285-

(b) In the event that the Certificate Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement with respect to the Trust because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after determination (but if the next calendar day is not a Business Day, then in no event later than 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the next Business Day), notify the Depositor thereof. In the case of Forms 10-D and 10-K, the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator will thereupon cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a Form 10-D/A or Form 10-K/A, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Certificate Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information, include such disclosure information on the next succeeding Form 10-D to be filed for the Trust. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K or Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator will notify the Depositor thereof, and such other parties as needed and the parties hereto will cooperate with the Certificate Administrator to prepare any necessary Form 8-K/A or Form 10-K/A. In the event that any previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Depositor thereof, and such other parties as needed, and the parties hereto shall cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 10-D/A.

The Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard (taking into account, in addition, the ongoing reporting obligations of the Depositor under the Exchange Act) to obtain the periodic financial statements of the related Borrower under the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

The Master Servicer shall (and shall cause each applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement to require any related Sub-Servicer to) retain written evidence of each instance in which it (or a Sub-Servicer) attempts to contact the Borrower related to the Miami Center Mortgage Loan to obtain the required financial information and is unsuccessful and, within five (5) Business Days prior to the date in which a Form 10-D or Form 10-K, as applicable, is required to be filed with respect to the Trust, shall forward an Officer’s Certificate evidencing its attempts to obtain this information to the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor.

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] [Item 1112(b)(1)], and the registrant has been unable to obtain such information to include on this [Form 10-D] [Form 10-K] by the related filing deadline. The information is therefore being omitted herefrom in reliance on Rule 12b-21 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended” or such other statement as directed by the Depositor.

(b) With respect to any Mortgaged Property that secures a Companion Loan that the applicable Other Depositor has notified the Master Servicer in writing is a “significant obligor” (within the meaning of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) with respect to an Other Securitization Trust that includes such Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall, after receipt of updated net operating income information, (x) promptly deliver the financial statements of such “significant obligor” to the Other Depositor and Other Exchange Act Reporting Party of such Other Securitization Trust and (y) update the columns of the CREFC Loan Periodic Update File related to such “significant obligor” as described in the last sentence of the first paragraph of Section 10.12(a) of this Agreement.

-298-

If the Master Servicer does not receive financial information satisfactory to comply with Item 6 of Form 10-D or Item 1112(b)(1) of Form 10-K, as the case may be, of such “significant obligor” within ten Business Days after the date such financial information is required to be delivered under the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall notify the Other Depositor with respect to such Other Securitization Trust that includes the related Companion Loan (and shall cause each applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement to require any related Sub-Servicer to notify such Other Depositor) that it has not received them. The Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard (taking into account, in addition, the ongoing reporting obligations of such Other Depositor under the Exchange Act) to obtain the periodic financial statements of the related Mortgagor under the related Loan Documents.

The Master Servicer shall (and shall cause each applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement to require any related Sub-Servicer to) retain written evidence of each instance in which it (or a Sub-Servicer) attempts to contact the Mortgagor related to such “significant obligor” to obtain the required financial information and is unsuccessful and, within five (5) Business Days prior to the date in which a Form 10-D or Form 10-K, as applicable, is required to be filed with respect to the Other Securitization Trust, shall forward an Officer’s Certificate evidencing its attempts to obtain this information to the Other Exchange Act Reporting Party and Other Depositor related to such Other Securitization Trust. This Officer’s Certificate should be addressed to the certificate administrator at its corporate trust office, as specified in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Section 10.12 Indemnification.

(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans (or Whole Loans, if applicable) which are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class or to any Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, without the consent of the Holder of that Certificate or that Companion Loan Holder, as applicable;

-309-

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders, the Mortgage Loan Sellers or the Underwriters, as applicable, under this Section 11.07 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The method of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders, the Mortgage Loan Sellers or the Underwriters, as applicable, shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe; provided, however, that such method shall always be by affirmation and in writing.

-310-

if such amendment is required by any Rating Agency to maintain the rating issued by it or requested by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator for any purpose described in clause (i) or (ii) of the first sentence of this Section, then at the expense of the Trust Fund), to the effect that such amendment will not cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, and will not cause a tax to be imposed on any Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (other than a tax at the highest marginal corporate tax rate on net income from foreclosure property). Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer may request and shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such amendment (or, if such amendment is required by any Rating Agency to maintain the rating issued by it or requested by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator for any purpose described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (v) (which do not modify or otherwise relate solely to the obligations, duties or rights of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable) of the first sentence of this Section, then at the expense of the Trust Fund) stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement. Each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement. The party requesting an amendment to this Agreement shall provide to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, for posting on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, prior written notice of such proposed amendment.

Section 11.08 Confirmation of Intent. 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. If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge of security for a loan, however, the Depositor intends that the rights and obligations of the parties to such loan shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 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 Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Account and, if established, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account and the REO Account, and all reinvestment earnings on such amounts, and all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and to any Insurance Proceeds related to such Mortgage Loans and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. This Section 11.08 shall constitute notice to the Trustee pursuant to any of the requirements of the applicable UCC.

Section 11.09 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in the next sentence, no Persons other than a party to this Agreement, any Companion Loan Holder (unless it is the Mortgagor under the applicable Companion Loan or an Affiliate thereof) and any Certificateholder, shall have any rights with respect to the enforcement of any of the rights or

-311-

obligations hereunder. Any Underwriter (with respect to its rights to receive any documents, certifications, information and/or indemnification hereunder and its rights under Section 2.02, Section 5.03 and Section 11.07 of this Agreement), any Companion Loan Holder, any Mortgage Loan Seller (with respect to its rights under Section 2.03(a), Section 2.03(b), Section 2.03(c), Section 3.09(d)(i) and Section 11.07 of this Agreement), any Other Depositor and Other Exchange Act Reporting Party (with respect to its rights under Article X of this Agreement) and, subject to Section 11.02 of this Agreement, any Certificateholder (which are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement) shall have the right to enforce their respective rights and obligations hereunder (in the case of any Companion Loan Holder, to the extent they affect the related Companion Loan and provided that such Companion Loan Holder is not the Mortgagor under the related Companion Loan or an Affiliate thereof) as if each such Person was a party hereto.

Without limiting the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement specifically state that no Mortgagor, property manager or other party to a Mortgage Loan is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

Section 11.10 Request by Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holder. Where information or reports are required to be delivered to a Certificateholder or a Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, upon request pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such request can be in the form of a single blanket request by a Certificateholder or a Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, to the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, with respect to such Certificateholder or a Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, such request shall be deemed to relate to each date such report or information may be requested. The notice shall set forth the applicable Sections where such reports and information are requested.

Section 11.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 11.12 Submission to Jurisdiction. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY (I) SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; (II) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT; (III) AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW; AND (IV) CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON IT BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO IT AS PROVIDED FOR NOTICES HEREUNDER.

This certifies that [ ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-AB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class R and Class S Certificates (together with the Class A-1 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of September 1, 2012 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., as Depositor, U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, Situs Holdings, LLC, as Operating Advisor, Citibank, N.A., as Certificate Administrator, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents 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.

The Certificate Administrator 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 and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-1-2

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date in each month, commencing in October 2012 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), 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, with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to a share of Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 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 Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loans; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights in the Escrow Accounts and Lock Box Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, any REO Account, and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee. In the event of any conflict between this Certificate and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall control.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Exchange Act Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(vii)

to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of Xxxxx’x, Fitch and KBRA, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; and
