EXPLANATORY NOTES

 

The Exhibit Index describes exhibits provided by certain parties (in their capacities indicated on the Exhibit Index) with respect to the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan, which constituted approximately 4.7%, 4.1% and 2.5%, respectively, of the asset pool of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan are each an asset of the issuing entity and are each part of a loan combination that includes the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan or the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan and one other pari passu loan, which is not an asset of the issuing entity. The other pari passu portion of each loan combination was securitized in the Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Trust 2012-GC8 transaction, Commission File Number 333-166711-02 (the “CGCMT 2012-GC8 Transaction”). These loan combinations, including the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan, are being serviced and administered pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement for the CGCMT 2012-GC8 Transaction, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the master servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement for the CGCMT 2012-GC8 Transaction. The responsibilities of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as primary servicer of these loan combinations with respect to the issuing entity, are subsumed within its responsibilities as master servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement for the CGCMT 2012-GC8 Transaction. Thus, the servicer compliance statement provided by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as master servicer under such pooling and servicing agreement, encompasses its roles as both master servicer and primary servicer with respect to these loan combinations.

 

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the master servicer of the mortgage loans serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the primary servicer of the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan. As a result, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is a “servicer” as defined in Item 1108(a)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, in the capacities described above, because it is servicing mortgage loans that constituted 10% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria, accountants’ attestation reports and servicer compliance statements delivered by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

 

U.S. Bank National Association acts as trustee of the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan. The trustee is required to provide an assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria solely with respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB (regarding advances of funds or guarantees regarding collections, cash flows or distributions, and any interest or other fees charged for such advances, are made, reviewed and approved as specified in the transaction agreements). However, during the reporting period, the trustee did not perform any servicing function with respect to the servicing criteria specified in Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB. The master servicer or the special servicer, to the extent required, performed the servicing function identified with respect to Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, and each such party included Item 1122(d)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB in the assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and accountant’s attestation report for the subject transaction. As a result, consistent with industry practice, this Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria of the trustee.

 

As described above in these Explanatory Notes, this Annual Report on Form 10-K includes an assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and the accountant’s attestation report of U.S. Bank National Association, as a servicing function participant engaged by Citibank, N.A. with respect to the maintenance of collateral or security on pool assets as required by the pooling and servicing agreement for the CGCMT 2012-GC8 Transaction and the safeguarding of pool assets and related documents as required by the pooling and servicing agreement for the CGCMT 2012-GC8 Transaction with respect to the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan. These servicing functions are included within the servicing criteria set forth in Items 1122(d)(4)(i)-(ii) of Regulation AB. Therefore, under the principles-based definition of “servicer” set forth in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB that looks to the functions that an entity performs, U.S. Bank is a “servicer” for the purposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB. See Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, Section 301.01 (Item 1101(j)).

 

LNR Partners, LLC is the special servicer of the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan. As a result, LNR Partners, LLC is a “servicer” as defined in Item 1108(a)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, in the capacities described above, because it is servicing mortgage loans that constituted 10% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria, accountants’ attestation reports and servicer compliance statements delivered by LNR Partners, LLC in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

 

Citibank, N.A. is the certificate administrator of the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan. As a result, Citibank, N.A. is a “servicer” as defined in Item 1108(a)(2)(iii) of Regulation AB, in the capacities described above, because it is servicing mortgage loans that constituted 10% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria, accountants’ attestation reports and servicer compliance statements delivered by Citibank, N.A. in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

 

Citibank, N.A. is the custodian of the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan. As a result, Citibank, N.A. is a servicing function participant in the capacities described above, because it is servicing mortgage loans that constituted 5% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and accountants’ attestation reports delivered by Citibank, N.A. in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index, and exclude the servicing criteria set forth in Items 1122(d)(4)(i) and 1122(d)(4)(ii) of Regulation AB, relating to the maintenance of collateral or security on pool assets as required by the pooling and servicing agreement for the CGCMT 2012-GC8 Transaction and the safeguarding of pool assets and related documents as required by the pooling and servicing agreement for the CGCMT 2012-GC8 Transaction, which servicing criteria have been assessed by U.S. Bank National Association, as a servicing function participant, as described below in these Explanatory Notes.

Situs Holdings, LLC is the operating advisor of the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan. As a result, Situs Holdings, LLC is a servicing function participant in the capacities described above, because it is servicing mortgage loans that constituted 5% or more of the assets of the issuing entity as of its cut-off date. The assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and accountants’ attestation reports delivered by Situs Holdings, LLC in the capacities described above are listed in the Exhibit Index.

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes assessments of compliance with applicable servicing criteria and accountants’ attestation reports from CoreLogic Commercial Real Estate Services, Inc. and National Tax Search, LLC. These entities were engaged by the master servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the primary servicer of the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan to remit tax payments received from the escrow accounts of borrowers to local taxing authorities, to report tax amounts due, to verify tax parcel information, and to verify non-escrow tax payments. These servicing functions are included within the servicing criteria set forth in Items 1122(d)(4)(xi) and 1122(d)(4)(xii) of Regulation AB. Therefore, under the principles-based definition of “servicer” set forth in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB that looks to the functions that an entity performs, these vendors are “servicers” for the purposes of Item 1122 of Regulation AB. See Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, Section 301.01 (Item 1101(j)).

Item 1117 of Regulation AB, Legal Proceedings.

 

The registrant knows of no material pending legal proceeding involving the trust or any party related to the trust, other than routine litigation incidental to the duties of those respective parties, and the following, with respect to Citibank, N.A., as certificate administrator and custodian:

 

5
 

 

Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") is acting as certificate administrator and custodian of the CGCMT 2012-GC8 Transaction. In the ordinary course of business, Citibank is involved in a number of legal proceedings, including in connection with its role as trustee of certain RMBS transactions. Certain of these Citibank as trustee-related matters are disclosed herein.

 

On June 18, 2014, a civil action was filed against Citibank in the Supreme Court of the State of New York by a group of investors in 48 private-label RMBS trusts for which Citibank allegedly serves or did serve as trustee, asserting claims for purported violations of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the “Trust Indenture Act”), breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence based on Citibank’s alleged failure to perform its duties as trustee for the 48 RMBS trusts. On November 24, 2014, plaintiffs sought leave to withdraw this action. On the same day, a smaller subset of similar plaintiff investors in 27 private-label RMBS trusts for which Citibank allegedly serves or did serve as trustee, filed a new civil action against Citibank in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York asserting similar claims as the prior action filed in state court. In January 2015, the court closed plaintiffs’ original state court action. Citibank’s motion to dismiss the federal complaint was fully briefed as of May 13, 2015. On September 8, 2015, the federal court dismissed all claims as to 24 of the 27 trusts and allowed certain of the claims to proceed as to the other three trusts. Subsequently, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed all claims with respect to two of the three trusts. This case is still pending as to the one remaining trust at issue.

 

On November 24, 2015, the same investors that brought the federal case brought a new civil action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York related to 25 private-label RMBS trusts for which Citibank allegedly serves or did serve as trustee. This case includes the 24 trusts previously dismissed in the federal action, and one additional trust. The investors assert claims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty to avoid conflicts of interest, and violation of New York’s Streit Act (the “Streit Act”). Citibank’s motion to dismiss was fully briefed as of April 15, 2016. Following oral argument on Citibank’s motion to dismiss, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on August 5, 2016. Citibank’s motion to dismiss the amended complaint was fully briefed as of October 21, 2016. We await a decision.

 

On August 19, 2015, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as Receiver for a financial institution filed a civil action against Citibank in the Southern District of New York. This action relates to one private-label RMBS trust for which Citibank formerly served as trustee. FDIC asserts claims for breach of contract, violation of the Streit Act, and violation of the Trust Indenture Act. Citibank jointly briefed a motion to dismiss with The Bank of New York Mellon and U.S. Bank, entities that have also been sued by FDIC in their capacity as trustee, and whose cases are also in front of Judge Carter. Defendants’ joint motion to dismiss was fully briefed as of March 22, 2016. On September 30, 2016, the Court granted Citibank’s motion to dismiss the complaint without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On October 14, 2016, FDIC filed a motion for reargument or relief from judgment from the Court’s dismissal order. On October 25, 2016, the court granted leave for defendants to file an opposition brief. Defendants filed their opposition on November 15, 2016 and Plaintiff filed its reply brief on November 22, 2016. We await a decision from the Court on plaintiff’s motion.

 

There can be no assurances as to the outcome of litigation or the possible impact of litigation on the trustee or the RMBS trusts. However, Citibank denies liability and continues to vigorously defend against these litigations. Furthermore, neither the above-disclosed litigations nor any other pending legal proceeding involving Citibank will materially affect Citibank's ability to perform its duties as certificate administrator and custodian under the pooling and servicing agreement for the CGCMT 2012-GC8 Transaction.

 

Item 1119 of Regulation AB, Affiliations and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

 

The information regarding this Item has been previously provided in a prospectus supplement of the Registrant relating to the issuing entity filed on November 27, 2012 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5).

The reports on assessments of compliance with the servicing criteria for asset-backed securities and related attestation reports on such assessments of compliance with respect to the mortgage loans are attached hereto under Item 15 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Attached as Exhibit O to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K is a chart identifying the entities participating in a servicing function for the transaction responsible for each applicable servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d).

 

The reports on assessments of compliance with the servicing criteria for asset-backed securities and related attestation reports on such assessments of compliance with respect to the Gansevoort Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the Miami Center Mortgage Loan and the 222 Broadway Mortgage Loan, which are being serviced and administered pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement for the CGCMT 2012-GC8 Transaction, are attached hereto under Item 15 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
