PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Depositor intends to sell commercial mortgage pass-through certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust to be created hereunder, the primary assets of which will be a pool of commercial mortgage loans. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall elect or shall cause an election to be made to treat designated portions of the Trust (exclusive of the Excess Interest and the proceeds thereof in the Excess Interest Distribution Account) for federal income tax purposes as two (2) separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (the “Upper-Tier REMIC” and the “Lower-Tier REMIC”, and each a “Trust REMIC” as described herein).

In addition, the parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust Designated Portions shall be classified as an “investment trust” under section 301.7701-4(c) of the Treasury Regulations and that the holders of the Exchangeable Certificates, the Class V Certificates and the RR Interest shall be treated as holding undivided beneficial ownership interests in the corresponding Grantor Trust Designated Portion, under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code (such arrangement, the “Grantor Trust”). The Certificate Administrator shall take all actions expressly required hereunder to ensure that the Grantor Trust remains classified as a trust and that the holders of the Exchangeable Certificates, the Class V Certificates and the RR Interest continue to be the owners of their Grantor Trust Designated Portions for federal income tax purposes. The Grantor Trust shall not be treated as part of either Trust REMIC.

-87-

determination that any P&I Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by such Special Servicer that such P&I Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such decision shall remain with the applicable Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable. If a Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, if any Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Trustee or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with a securitization of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan determines that a principal and interest advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, if made, would be nonrecoverable, such determination shall not be binding on the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. Similarly, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that any P&I Advance with respect to a related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such determination shall not be binding on the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and related Non-Serviced Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan (unless the related Non-Serviced PSA provides otherwise). In making such recoverability determination, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, as it may have been modified and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) future expenses, (c) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (d) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances which, at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which are being deferred or delayed by the applicable Master Servicer, in light of the fact that related proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential source of recovery for such delayed or deferred Advance. In addition, any Person, in considering whether a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any outstanding Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the reimbursement of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by a Master Servicer or the Trustee because there is insufficient principal available for such recovery, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of recovery not only for the P&I Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. In

-88-

addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the applicable Master Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination. Absent bad faith, the applicable Master Servicer’s, the applicable Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s determination as to the recoverability of any P&I Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders. The determination by the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance has been made or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Directing Certificateholder (but in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to such party) (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of a Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer). The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, related income and expense statements, rent rolls (or, with respect to residential cooperative properties, maintenance schedules), occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by such Master Servicer, such Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination and shall include any existing Appraisal of the related Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgaged Property). The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the applicable Master Servicer’s or the applicable Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and each Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on and shall be bound by the applicable Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable. In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan.

Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance”: Any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or REO Property which the Trustee determines in its reasonable business judgment, or the applicable Master Servicer or applicable Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard, as the case may be, will not be ultimately recoverable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at the Reimbursement Rate, from Late Collections or any other recovery on or in respect of such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or REO Property. In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, as it may have been modified and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the applicable Master Servicer or the

-89-

applicable Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse changes with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) future expenses, (c) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (d) to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances which, at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which are being deferred or delayed by the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee because there is insufficient principal available for such recovery, in light of the fact that related proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential source of recovery for such delayed or deferred Advance. In addition, any Person, in considering whether a Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the reimbursement of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by a Master Servicer, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of recovery not only for the Servicing Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the applicable Master Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination. Absent bad faith, the applicable Master Servicer’s, the applicable Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s determination as to the recoverability of any Servicing Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders. The determination by the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance has been made or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either the applicable Special Servicer or the applicable Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but in the case of the Directing Certificateholder, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan as to such party) (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of a Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer); provided, however, that the applicable Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and shall deliver to the applicable Master Servicer (and with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any Other Servicer), the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and the 17g-5 Information

-90-

Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination (other than by the applicable Special Servicer) shall not be binding upon (but may be conclusively relied upon by) the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee, and any such determination by the applicable Special Servicer shall be binding upon the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the applicable Special Servicer to reverse the determination of the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination that a Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), provided, however, that the applicable Special Servicer shall have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Servicing Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the applicable Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, such decision shall remain with the applicable Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. If the applicable Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the applicable Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the applicable Master Servicer, the applicable Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, related income and expense statements, rent rolls (or, with respect to residential cooperative properties, maintenance schedules), occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by such Master Servicer, such Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination and shall include any existing Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or related Mortgaged Property). The applicable Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Servicing Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make Servicing Advances may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the applicable Master Servicer’s or the applicable Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the applicable Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the applicable Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the applicable Special Servicer requests that the applicable Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance, such Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; provided, however, that such Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month with respect to Servicing Advances other than emergency advances (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan. The determination as to the recoverability of any servicing advance or property protection advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be made by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA.
