Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2012, between Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Paying Agent and Custodian, and Park Bridge Lender Services LLC, as Operating Advisor.
 
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.
 
The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of Excess Interest and the CCRE Strips) and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement, and will issue (i) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests set forth in the table below (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”), as classes of regular interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC, and (ii) the Class LR Certificates as the sole class of residual interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC.
 
The Upper-Tier REMIC will hold the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and certain other related assets subject to this Agreement and will issue (i) the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-M, Class A-M-PEZ, Class B, Class B-PEZ, Class C, Class C-PEZ, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class H Certificates as classes of regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC, and (ii) the Class R Certificates as the sole class of residual interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC.
 
The portions of the Trust Fund consisting of (i) the arrangement under which the Exchangeable Certificates are exchanged for the Class PEZ Certificates, and (ii) the Excess Interest and proceeds thereof in the Class V Distribution Account shall be treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code (the “Grantor Trust”) for federal income tax purposes.  The Class PEZ Certificates will represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Grantor Trust consisting of the Exchangeable Certificates and the Class PEZ Exchangeable Account.  The Class V Certificates will represent undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Grantor Trust consisting of the Excess Interest and proceeds thereof in the Class V Distribution Account.  As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall not take any actions that would cause the Grantor Trust to either (i) lose its status as a “grantor trust” or (ii) be treated as part of either Trust REMIC.
 
The Mortgaged Property that secures the Mortgage Loan identified as Loan No. 3 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule (the “260 and 261 Madison Avenue Mortgage Loan”) also secures one companion loan to the same Borrower, which is pari passu in right of payment to the 260 and 261 Madison Avenue Mortgage Loan (the “260 and 261 Madison Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loan”).  The 260 and 261 Madison Avenue Loan Combination will initially be serviced pursuant to (i) this Agreement and (ii) the related Intercreditor Agreement.  After the
 
 
 

 
 
securitization of the 260 and 261 Madison Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loan designated as promissory note A-1, the 260 and 261 Madison Avenue Loan Combination will be serviced pursuant to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement related to such Other Securitization.  The 260 and 261 Madison Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loan and all amounts attributable thereto will not be assets of the Trust Fund or the Trust REMICs and will be beneficially owned by the respective Companion Loan Noteholder.
 
The Mortgaged Property that secures the Mortgage Loan identified as Loan No. 6 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule (such Mortgage Loan, which is comprised of the Crossgates Mall Pari Passu Note A-1A-1 and the Crossgates Mall Pari Passu Note A-1B-1, the “Crossgates Mall Mortgage Loan”) also secures multiple companion loans to the same Borrower, which are pari passu in right of payment to the Crossgates Mall Mortgage Loan (the “Crossgates Mall Pari Passu Companion Loans”).  The Crossgates Mall Loan Combination will be serviced pursuant to (i) this Agreement and (ii) the related Intercreditor Agreement.  The Crossgates Mall Pari Passu Companion Loans and all amounts attributable thereto will not be assets of the Trust Fund or the Trust REMICs and will be beneficially owned by the respective Companion Loan Noteholders.
 
The following table sets forth the Class designation and initial Certificate Balance or initial Notional Amount of each Class of Regular Certificates (collectively, the “Corresponding Certificates”), and the corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest (the “Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest”) and the Corresponding Components of the Class X Certificates (the “Corresponding Components”) for each Class of Corresponding Certificates.

The Lower-Tier Regular Interest and the Component of the Class X-A or Class X-B Certificates that correspond to any particular Class of Regular Certificates also correspond to each other and, accordingly, constitute the (i) Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests and (ii) Corresponding Components, respectively, with respect to each other.  The Class X Component Notional Amount for such Corresponding Component of the Class X-A
 
 
 
-2-

 
 
 
or Class X-B Certificates shall at all times equal the then Lower-Tier Principal Balance of the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest.
 
The initial Certificate Balance of the Class PEZ Certificates will be equal to the aggregate of the initial Certificate Balances of the Exchangeable Certificates and will represent the maximum principal balance of the Class PEZ Certificates that could be issued in an exchange. The Class PEZ Certificates will only receive distributions of principal and interest that are otherwise distributable to the Exchangeable Certificates exchanged for such Class PEZ Certificates.
 
The Class X-A, Class X-B, Class R, Class LR and Class V Certificates do not have Certificate Balances.  Additionally, the Class V, Class R and Class LR Certificates do not have Notional Balances.  The Certificate Balance of any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates outstanding at any time represents the maximum amount which holders thereof are entitled to receive as distributions allocable to principal from the cash flow on the Mortgage Loans and the other assets in the Trust Fund; provided that if amounts previously allocated as Realized Losses to a Class of Certificates in reduction of the Certificate Balance thereof are subsequently recovered (including without limitation after the reduction of the Certificate Balance of such Class to zero), such Class may receive distributions in respect of such recoveries in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.01 of this Agreement.
 
As of the Cut-off Date, the Mortgage Loans have an aggregate Stated Principal Balance equal to approximately $1,321,152,968.
 
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the other parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
