Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer, AMRESCO Management, Inc.,
as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V.,
as Fiscal Agent.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
(Terms used but not defined in this Preliminary
Statement shall have the meanings
specified in Article I hereof)
The Seller 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 Trustee will elect that the Trust Fund, exclusive of the
Lock-Box Accounts, Reserve Accounts, the AAPT Strip, the Default Interest, the
Class Q Distribution Account, the Excess Interest, the Excess Interest
Distribution Account, the Montehiedra Partner Loans, the Class M Collection
Account and the Class M Distribution Account (such portion of the Trust Fund,
the "Trust REMICs"), be treated for federal income tax purposes as three
separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a "REMIC" or, in the
alternative, the "Upper-Tier REMIC", the "Middle-Tier REMIC" and the "Lower-Tier
REMIC," respectively). The Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B, Class A-2C, Class
A-2D, Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class X-2, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E,
Class F, Class G and Class H Certificates represent "regular interests" in the
Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class R Certificates constitute the sole class of
"residual interests" in the Upper-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions. The Class MR Certificates constitute the sole class of "residual
interests" in the Middle-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC provisions. The
Class LR Certificates constitute the sole class of "residual interests" in the
Lower-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. There are also four
classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests issued under this
Agreement (the Class LA-1T, Class LA-1S, Class LF-T and Class LF-S Interests),
each of which will constitute a regular interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC. All
such Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class X-1B Strip will be held by the
Trustee as assets of the Middle-Tier REMIC. There are also thirteen classes of
uncertificated Middle-Tier Regular Interests issued under this Agreement (the
Class MA-1, Class MX-1B, Class MA-2A, Class MA-2B, Class MA-2C, Class MA-2D,
Class MB, Class MC, Class MD, Class ME, Class MF, Class MG and Class MH
Interests), each of which will constitute a regular interest in the Middle-Tier
REMIC. All such Middle-Tier Regular Interests and the Class X-1A Strip will be
held by the Trustee as assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC. The parties intend that
the portions of the Trust Fund representing assets of the Grantor Trust,
including the AAPT Strip, the Default Interest, the Class Q Distribution
Account, the Excess Interest, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, the Class M Collection Account and the Class M
Distribution Account will be treated as a grantor trust under Subpart E of Part
1 of Subchapter J of the Code, that the Class Q Certificates represent pro rata
undivided beneficial interests in the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of
the AAPT Strip, the Default Interest and the Class Q Distribution Account, that
the Class A-1, Class A-2B, Class A-2C, Class A-2D, Class B, Class C, Class D,
Class E and Class F Certificates represent undivided beneficial interests in
specified portions of the Trust Fund consisting of the Excess Interest and the
Excess Interest Distribution Account, and that the Class M Certificates
represent pro rata undivided beneficial interests in the Montehiedra Partner
Loans and the Class M Distribution Account.
The following table sets forth the designation and aggregate initial
Certificate Principal Amount (or, with respect to the Class X-1A, Class X-1B and
Class X-2 Certificates, Notional Amount) for each Class of Certificates (other
than the Class R, Class MR, Class LR and Class Q Certificates).
Initial Certificate
Principal Amount or

Class A-1................................. $ 50,000,000
Class A-2A................................ $131,100,000
Class A-2B................................ $240,900,000
Class A-2C................................ $ 30,000,000
Class A-2D................................ $222,190,000
Class X-1A (1)............................ $ 50,000,000
Class X-1B (1)............................ $ 50,000,000
Class X-2 (2)............................. $892,890,000
Class B................................... $ 78,160,000
Class C................................... $ 14,660,000

Class F................................... $ 48,860,000
Class G................................... $ 58,620,000
Class H................................... $ 34,208,999
Class M (3)............................... $ 10,276,354
(1) The initial Notional Amount of the Class X-1A and Class X-1B
Certificates are each equal to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
AAPT LIBOR Components as of the Cut-Off Date.
(2) The initial Notional Amount of the Class X-2 Certificates is equal to
the initial Certificate Principal Amount of the Class A-2A, Class A-2B, Class
A-2C, Class A-2D, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F and Class G
Certificates.
(3) The initial Certificate Principal Amount of the Class M Certificates is
equal to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Montehiedra Partner Loans
as of the Cut-Off Date.
The Class Q, Class R, Class MR and Class LR Certificates do not have
Certificate Principal Amounts or Notional Amounts. The Certificate Principal
Amount of any Class of 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 (other than the Montehiedra Partner Loans); provided,
however, that in the event that amounts previously allocated as Realized Losses
to a Class of Certificates in reduction of the Certificate Principal Amount
thereof are recovered subsequent to the reduction of the Certificate Principal
Amount 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. As
of the Cut-Off Date, the Mortgage Loans have an aggregate Stated Principal
Balance equal to $977,098,999.
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the Seller, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent agree as
follows:

Mortgage Loan as of the last day of the related Collection Period over (b) the
excess of (i) 90% of the sum of the appraised values of the related Mortgaged
Properties as determined by Updated Appraisals obtained by the Special Servicer
(the cost of which shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Property
Advance) over (ii) the sum of (A) to the extent not previously advanced by the
Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, all unpaid interest on such
Mortgage Loan at a per annum rate equal to its Mortgage Rate, (B) all
unreimbursed Advances, with interest thereon at the Advance Rate in respect of
such Mortgage Loan and (C) all currently due and unpaid real estate taxes,
ground rents, if applicable, and assessments and insurance premiums and all
other amounts due and unpaid with respect to such Mortgage Loan (which taxes,
premiums and other amounts have not been the subject of an Advance by the Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable). If no Updated
Appraisal has been obtained within the 12 months prior to the first Distribution
Date on or after an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, the Special Servicer
shall estimate the value of the related Mortgaged Properties (the "Special
Servicer's Appraisal Estimate") and such estimate shall be used for purposes of
determining the Appraisal Reduction Amount for such Distribution Date. Within 60
days after the Special Servicer receives notice or is otherwise aware of the
Appraisal Reduction Event, the Special Servicer shall obtain an independent MAI
appraisal, the costs of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property
Advance. On the first Distribution Date occurring on or after the delivery of
such independent MAI appraisal, the Special Servicer shall adjust the Appraisal
Reduction Amount to take into account such appraisal (regardless of whether the
Updated Appraisal is higher or lower than the Special Servicer's Appraisal
Estimate). Each Appraisal Reduction Amount shall also be adjusted with respect
to the next Distribution Date to take into account any subsequent Updated
Appraisal and annual letter updates, as of the date of each such subsequent
Updated Appraisal or letter update. Upon payment in full or liquidation of any
Mortgage Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been determined, such
Appraisal Reduction Amount will be eliminated.
"Appraisal Reduction Event": With respect to any Mortgage Loan, the
earliest of (i) the third anniversary of the date on which an extension of the
Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan becomes effective as a result of a
modification of such Mortgage Loan by the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms
hereof, which extension does not change the amount of Monthly Payments on the

(b) The portion of any Insurance Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds in

the Borrower up to but not including the Due Date in the Collection Period in
which such proceeds are received.
(c) For purposes of distribution of Prepayment Premiums pursuant to Section
4.01(c) on any Distribution Date, the Class of Certificates as to which any
prepayment shall be deemed to be distributed shall be determined on the
assumption that the portion of the Principal Distribution Amount paid to the

first of scheduled payments included in the definition of Principal Distribution
Amount and second of prepayments included in such definition.
(d) Any Mortgage Loan payment is deemed to be received on the date such
payment is actually received by the Master Servicer or the Trustee; provided,
however, that for purposes of calculating distributions on the Certificates,
Principal Prepayments with respect to any Mortgage Loan are deemed to be
received on the date they are applied in accordance with Section 3.01(b) to
reduce the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan on which interest
accrues.
(e) Any amounts received in respect of a Mortgage Loan as to which a
default has occurred shall be applied to Default Interest and other amounts due
on such Mortgage Loan prior to the application to late fees.
SECTION 1.03. Certain Constructions

Class X-2, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class H
Certificates and the Class M Certificates shall not be considered senior or
subordinate to any other Class of Certificates for such purposes herein;
provided, however, that for purposes of determining the most subordinate Class
of Certificates, in the event that the Class A Certificates are the only Class
of Certificates outstanding (other than the Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class X-2,
Class Q, Class LR, Class MR or Class R Certificates), the Class A Certificates
and the Class X-1A, Class X-1B and Class X-2 Certificates together will be
treated as the most subordinate Class of Certificates. For purposes of this
Agreement, each Class of Certificates other than the Class Q, Class LR , Class
MR, and Class R Certificates shall be deemed to be outstanding only to the
extent its respective Certificate Principal Amount or Notional Amount has not
been reduced to zero; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing,
solely for the purpose of distributing Excess Interest in accordance with the
terms and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(e), any Class of Certificates
entitled to distributions of Excess Interest shall continue to be deemed to be
outstanding for so long as the Mortgage Loans with respect to which such Class
is entitled to distributions of Excess Interest received therefrom (as set forth
in Section 4.01(e)) remain outstanding. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Class Q Certificates shall be deemed to be outstanding so long as there are any
Certificates outstanding, the Class M Certificates shall be deemed to be
outstanding so long as the Montehiedra Partner Loans are outstanding or all
property acquired by the Trust with respect thereto has not been liquidated, and
the Class R, Class MR and Class LR Certificates shall be deemed to be
outstanding so long as the Trust REMICs have not been terminated pursuant to
Section 9.01.

such instrument to the Trustee (a "Reassignment of Assignment of
Leases, Rents and Profits") in suitable form for recordation in
the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located
(which reassignment, however, may be included in the Assignment

(ix) copies of the original Environmental Reports of the Mortgaged

On or promptly following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall, to the extent

which Assignment of Mortgage shall not be recorded) and (b) each Reassignment of
Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits referred to in Section 2.01(viii) (if

promptly submit (and in no event later than five Business Days following the

following the Closing Date in the case of clauses 1(b) and 2 above) for
recording or filing, as the case may be, in the appropriate public recording
office, each such document. In the event that any such document is lost or
returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Seller, or the Trustee, at
the request and expense of the Seller, shall use its best efforts to promptly
prepare a substitute document for signature by the Seller, and thereafter the
Trustee shall cause each such document to be duly recorded. The Trustee shall,
promptly upon receipt of the original recorded copy (and in no event later than
five Business Days following such receipt) deliver such original to the
Custodian. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.01, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original
Mortgage, Assignment of Mortgage or Reassignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents
and Profits, if applicable, after any has been recorded, the obligations
hereunder of the Seller shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery to
the Custodian of a copy of such Mortgage, Assignment of Mortgage or Reassignment
of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, if applicable, certified by the
public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the recorded original
thereof. If a pro forma title insurance policy has been delivered to the
Custodian in lieu of an original title insurance policy, the Seller will
promptly deliver to the Custodian the related original title insurance policy
upon receipt thereof. The Seller shall promptly cause the UCC-1's referred to in
Section 2.01(v), if not already filed, to be filed in the applicable public
recording office and upon filing will promptly deliver to the Custodian the
related UCC-1, with evidence of filing thereon. The Seller shall pay all
recording fees of the Trustee and shall reimburse the Trustee for all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred and filing fees paid by the Trustee in
connection with its obligations under this paragraph. Copies of such recorded or
filed documents shall be delivered to the Master Servicer by the Seller or the

In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Seller shall, on or
prior to the Closing Date, deliver to, and deposit with, the Custodian (on

each of the Loan Documents comprising the Mortgage File for the Montehiedra

On or promptly following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall, to the extent
possession thereof has been delivered to it by the Seller, at the expense of the
Seller, file each UCC-3 financing statement referred to in Exhibit I which has
not yet been submitted for filing. In the event that any such document is lost
or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Seller, or the Trustee,
at the request and expense of the Seller, shall use its best efforts to promptly
prepare a substitute document for signature by the Seller, and thereafter the
Trustee shall cause each such document to be duly recorded. The Trustee shall,
promptly upon receipt of the original recorded copy (and in no event later than
five Business Days following such receipt) deliver such original to the
Custodian. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.01, in the event the public recording office retains the original UCC-3
financing statement after it has been recorded, the obligations hereunder of the
Seller shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery to the Custodian of
a copy of such UCC-3 financing statement, certified by the public recording
office to be a true and complete copy of the recorded original thereof. The
Seller shall promptly cause the UCC-1s referred to in Exhibit I, if not already
filed, to be filed in the applicable public recording office and upon filing
will promptly deliver to the Custodian the related UCC-1, with evidence of
filing thereon. The Seller shall pay all recording fees of the Trustee and shall
reimburse the Trustee for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred and filing fees
paid by the Trustee in connection with its obligations under this paragraph.
Copies of such recorded or filed documents shall be delivered to the Trustee by
the Seller or the Trustee, as applicable.
All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Montehiedra
Partner Loans which are not delivered to the Custodian are and shall be held by
the Seller, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for
the benefit of the Certificateholders. In the event that any such original
document is required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a
Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered promptly to the Custodian.
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by Custodian and the Trustee
If the Seller cannot deliver any original or certified recorded document
described in Section 2.01 on the Closing Date, the Seller shall use its best
efforts, promptly upon receipt thereof and in any case not later than 45 days
from the Closing Date, to deliver such original or certified recorded documents
to the Custodian (unless the Seller is delayed in making such delivery by reason
of the fact that such documents shall not have been returned by the appropriate
recording office in which case it shall notify the Custodian and the Trustee in
writing of such delay and shall deliver such documents to the Custodian promptly
upon the Seller's receipt thereof). By its execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans
and the Montehiedra Partner Loans in good faith without notice of adverse claims
and declares that the Custodian holds and will hold such documents and all
others delivered to it constituting the Mortgage File (to the extent the
documents constituting the Mortgage File are actually delivered to the
Custodian) for any Mortgage Loan assigned to the Trustee hereunder in trust and
the Montehiedra Partner Loans, upon the conditions herein set forth, for the use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee agrees to
review each Mortgage File within 45 days after the later of (a) the Trustee's
receipt of such Mortgage File or (b) execution and delivery of this Agreement,
to ascertain that all documents (other than the Environmental Reports referred
to in clause (ix) of Section 2.01 which shall be delivered to the Master
Servicer) referred to in Section 2.01 above (in the case of the documents
referred to in Section 2.01(iv), (v), (vi), (vii) (in the case of any
endorsement thereto) and (viii) and (x) through (xv), as identified to it in
writing by the Seller) and any original recorded documents referred to in the
first sentence of this Section 2.02 included in the delivery of a Mortgage File
have been received, have been executed, appear to be what they purport to be,
purport to be recorded or filed (as applicable) and have not been torn,
mutilated or otherwise defaced, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage
Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or the Montehiedra Partner Loans,
as applicable. In so doing, the Trustee may rely on the purported due execution
and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any
signature thereon. If at the conclusion of such review any document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File have not been executed or received, have
not been recorded or filed (if required), are unrelated to the Mortgage Loans
identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, as
applicable, appear not to be what they purport to be or have been torn,
mutilated or otherwise defaced, the Trustee shall promptly so notify the Seller
and the applicable Responsible Party by providing a written report, setting
forth for each affected Mortgage Loan (or the Montehiedra Partner Loan), with
particularity, the nature of the defective or missing document. The Seller
shall, or shall cause the applicable Responsible Party to, deliver an executed,
recorded or undamaged document, as applicable, within 90 days of receipt of such
notice or, if the failure to deliver such document in such form has a material
adverse effect on the security provided by the related Mortgaged Property, the
Seller shall, or shall cause the applicable Responsible Party to, repurchase the
related Mortgage Loan in the manner and within the time period provided in
Section 2.03. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee
shall be responsible for any loss, cost, damage or expense to the Trust Fund
resulting from any failure to receive any document constituting a portion of a
Mortgage File noted on such a report.
The Trustee shall hold that portion of the Trust Fund delivered to the
Trustee consisting of "instruments" (as such term is defined in Section 9-105(i)
of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in Illinois on the date hereof) in
Illinois and, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, shall
not remove such instruments from Illinois, as applicable, unless it receives an
Opinion of Counsel (obtained and delivered at the expense of the Person
requesting the removal of such instruments from Illinois) that in the event the
transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans to the Trustee
is deemed not to be a sale, after such removal, the Trustee will possess a first
priority perfected security interest in such instruments.

(c) Upon discovery by the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, or the Trustee of a breach of any representation or warranty of the
applicable Responsible Party in the Loan Sale Agreement or the Responsible Party
Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, as the case may be, or that any document required to
be included in the Mortgage File does not conform to the requirements of Section
2.01, such Person shall give prompt notice thereof to the applicable Responsible
Party and the Seller, and such Responsible Party shall, to the extent such
Responsible Party is obligated to cure or repurchase the related Mortgage Loan
(or Related Individual Loan with respect to the Cadillac Fairview Pool Loan) or
the Montehiedra Partner Loans, as the case may be, under the terms of the Loan
Sale Agreement or the Responsible Party Agreement, as the case may be, either

Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, and the Trustee has an
obligation to conduct any investigation with respect to such matters (except, in
the case of the Mortgage Files, to the extent provided in Section 2.01);
provided, however, that in the event that such breach or non-conformity is
capable of being cured but not within such 90 day period and the applicable
Responsible Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of
such breach or non-conformity within such 90 day period (other than a breach
that would cause a related Mortgage Loan to qualify as a Qualified Mortgage),
the applicable Responsible Party shall have an additional 90 days to complete
such cure; provided, further, that with respect to such additional 90 day period
such Responsible Party shall have delivered an officer's certificate to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer setting forth the reason such breach is not
capable of being cured within the initial 90 day period and what actions such
Responsible Party is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating
that such Responsible Party anticipates that such breach will be cured within
the additional 90 day period.
(d) Upon receipt by the Master Servicer from the applicable Responsible
Party of the Repurchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan (or Related
Individual Loan with respect to the Cadillac Fairview Pool Loan) or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, as the case may be, the Master Servicer shall deposit
such amount in the Collection Account, and the Trustee, pursuant to Section
3.11, shall, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as
to the receipt by the Master Servicer of the Repurchase Price and the deposit of
the Repurchase Price into the Collection Account pursuant to this Section
2.03(d), release or cause to be released to the applicable Responsible Party the
related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer
or assignment, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as

Cadillac Fairview Pool Loan) or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, as the case may
be, released pursuant hereto, and any rights of the applicable Responsible Party
in, to and under the Loan Sale Agreement or Responsible Party Agreement, as the

with respect to the Cadillac Fairview Pool Loan) or the Montehiedra Partner
Loans, as the case may be, that were initially transferred to the Trust Fund
under Section 2.01, and the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall have no
further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File.
(e) In the event that the applicable Responsible Party incurs any expense
in connection with curing a breach of a representation or warranty pursuant to
Section 2.03(c) which also constitutes a default under the related Mortgage Loan
or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, as the case may be, such Responsible Party
shall have a right, subrogated to that of the Trustee, as successor to the
mortgagee, to recover the amount of such expenses from the related Borrower. The
Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in recovering, or assisting the
applicable Responsible Party in recovering, from the related Borrower the amount
of any such expenses.

OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer; Administration of
the Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, each as an independent
contractor, shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the
Trust Fund and the Trustee (as trustee for Certificateholders) in accordance
with the Servicing Standard. To the extent consistent with the foregoing and
subject to any express limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Master
Servicer and Special Servicer shall seek to maximize the timely and complete
recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans. Subject only to the
Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall have full
power and authority, acting alone or through sub-servicers (subject to paragraph
(c) of this Section 3.01 and to Section 3.02), 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 reasonable judgment, in
the best interests of the Certificateholders, including, without limitation,
with respect to each Mortgage Loan, to prepare, execute and deliver, on behalf
of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any 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 Sections 3.09, 3.10 and 3.27, any modifications,
waivers, consents or amendments to or with respect to any documents contained in
the related Mortgage File; 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 the Mortgaged
Properties. 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 except under the circumstances described in
Sections 3.09, 3.10, 3.26 and 3.27 or the definition of Extended Monthly Payment
hereof. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall service and administer
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable law and shall provide to the
Borrowers any reports required to be provided to them thereby. Subject to
Section 3.11, the Trustee shall, upon the receipt of a written request of a
Servicing Officer, execute and deliver to the Master Servicer and Special
Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents 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. Each of the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for any and all costs,
liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the
negligent or willful misuse of such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as applicable.

Servicer shall apply any partial Principal Prepayment received on a Mortgage
Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans on a date other than a Due Date to the
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans 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 U.S. Treasury obligations (which
shall not be redeemed by the Master Servicer prior to the maturity thereof) in
respect of a Mortgage Loan being defeased pursuant to its terms to the principal
balance of and interest on such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date immediately
following the receipt of such amounts.
(c) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may enter into
sub-servicing agreements with third parties with respect to any of its
respective obligations hereunder, provided that (i) any such agreement shall be
consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) no sub-servicer retained
by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall grant any
modification, waiver or amendment to any Mortgage Loan without the approval of
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, which approval shall
be given or withheld in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sections
3.09, 3.10 3.26, 3.27, or the definition of Extended Monthly Payment (iii) such
agreement shall be consistent with the Servicing Standard and (iv) the Master
Servicer may not assign, delegate or use a sub-servicer with respect to any of
its obligations hereunder with respect to the Montehiedra Partner Loans. 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). Any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide that it may be assumed or
terminated by the Trustee, if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, or by any successor Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable, without cost or obligation to the assuming or
terminating party or the Trust Fund, upon the assumption by such party of the
obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
pursuant to Section 7.02; provided, however, the Trustee or any successor Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall assume the sub-servicing
agreement with AMRESCO Services, L.P., dated as of the date hereof, provided
that AMRESCO Services, L.P., remains "acceptable" as a sub-servicer to the
Rating Agencies.
Any sub-servicing agreement, and any other transactions or services
relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a sub-servicer, shall be deemed to be
between the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and
such sub-servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the
Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the sub-servicer,
except as set forth in Section 3.01(d) 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, or if the Trustee or any successor Special Servicer
assumes the obligations of the Special Servicer, in each case 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 or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under
any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.01(c), subject to the right of
termination by the Trustee set forth in Section 3.01(c). In such event, the
Trustee or the successor Master Servicer or the successor Special Servicer, as
applicable, shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's or the
Special Servicer's interest, as applicable, therein (but not any liabilities or
obligations in respect of acts or omissions of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, prior to such deemed assumption) and to have
replaced the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 or
successor Special Servicer, as applicable, except that the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 or successor Special
Servicer, as applicable.
In the event that the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer or successor
Special Servicer, as applicable, assumes the servicing obligations of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon request of the Trustee, or
such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer shall at its own expense deliver to the Trustee or
such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 best efforts to effect the orderly and
efficient transfer of any sub-servicing agreement to the Trustee or the
successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.
SECTION 3.02. Liability of the Master Servicer and Special Service.
Notwithstanding any sub-servicing agreement, any of the provisions of this
Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or
Special 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 or Special Servicer, as
applicable, shall remain obligated and primarily liable for the servicing and
administering of the Mortgage 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 or
Special Servicer, as applicable, alone were servicing and administering the
Mortgage Loans. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be
entitled to enter into an agreement with any sub-servicer providing for
indemnification of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, 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 or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use
reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and
provisions of the Mortgage Loans it is obligated to service hereunder, and shall
follow the Servicing Standard with respect to such collection procedures. The
Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to collect income statements,
rent rolls and other reporting information from Borrowers as required by the
related Loan Documents and the terms hereof. Consistent with the foregoing, the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may in its discretion waive
any late payment charge in connection with any delinquent Monthly Payment with
respect to any Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled
to take such actions with respect to the collection of payments on the Mortgage
Loans as are permitted or required under Section 3.26 hereof.
(b) In the event that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer receives, or
receives notice from the related Borrower that it will be receiving, Excess
Interest in any Collection Period, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, will promptly notify the Trustee.
SECTION 3.04. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow
Accounts.
(a) With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any REO Mortgage 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 insurance premiums payable with respect thereto. From
time to time, 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. If a Borrower fails to
make any such payment on a timely basis or collections from the Borrower 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 its good faith
business judgment that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Advances, with interest
thereon at the Advance Rate, that it makes pursuant to the preceding sentence
from amounts received on or in respect of the related Mortgage Loan respecting
which such Advance was made or if such Advance has become a Nonrecoverable
Advance, to the extent permitted by Section 3.06 of this Agreement. 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 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 one Business Day after
receipt. The Master Servicer shall also deposit into each applicable Escrow
Account any amounts representing losses on Permitted Investments pursuant to
Section 3.07(b) and any Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation 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,
"GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer, in trust for LaSalle
National Bank, as Trustee in trust for Holders of GS Mortgage Securities
Corporation II, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1997-GL I
and Various Borrowers". Withdrawals from an Escrow Account may be made by the
Master Servicer only:
(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;
(ii) to transfer funds to the Collection Account to reimburse the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal
Agent, as applicable, for any Advance (with interest thereon at
the Advance Rate) relating to Escrow Payments, but only from
amounts received with respect to the related Mortgage Loan 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
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 Borrower (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 Borrower under law or by the terms of the Mortgage Loan,
or otherwise to the Master Servicer and (B) any other funds
required to be released to the related Borrowers 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.

of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges (subject to
Section 3.12 hereof), Assumption Fees, loan modification fees, loan service
transaction fees, extension fees, demand fees, beneficiary statement charges and
similar fees need not be deposited in the Collection Account by the Master
Servicer and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to retain any such charges and fees received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans. 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 Trustee of the location and account number of the Collection Account and

in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee as the Holder
of the Middle-Tier Regular Interests; and (iii) the Upper-Tier Distribution

Certificateholders. The Lower-Tier Distribution Account, Middle-Tier

and maintained as Eligible Accounts. With respect to each Distribution Date, on
or before such date the Trustee shall make the withdrawals from the Lower-Tier

and Prepayment Premiums to be distributed in respect of the Certificates,
pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof on such date.
(c) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Class Q Distribution
Account in the name of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Holders of

AAPT Strip. In addition, on or before the Master Servicer Remittance Date
related to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall remit to the
Trustee for deposit in the Class Q Distribution Account an amount equal to (i)
the amount of the aggregate Default Interest received during the preceding
Collection Period, minus (ii) any portions thereof withdrawn from the Collection
Account pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 3.06 or otherwise applied to pay the
Advance Interest Amount in respect of Advances (such amount, if any, the "Net
Default Interest" for such Distribution Date).
(d) Prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date relating to the Collection

shall remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution
Account an amount equal to the Excess Interest received during the applicable
Collection Period.
Following the distribution of Excess Interest to Certificateholders on the
first Distribution Date after which there are no longer any Mortgage Loans
outstanding which pursuant to their terms could pay Excess Interest, the Trustee
shall terminate the Excess Interest Distribution Account.
(e) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Class M Collection
Account in the Trustee's name, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class M
Certificates. The Class M Collection Account shall be established and maintained
as an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be
deposited in the Class M Collection Account within one Business Day following
receipt of the MPL Debt Service Amount and any other collections received on or
with respect to the Montehiedra Partner Loans. On or before the Master Servicer
Remittance Date related to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall

on deposit in the Class M Collection Account, minus any portions thereof
permitted to be withdrawn from the Class M Collection Account pursuant to the

(f) Funds in the Collection Account and the Class M Collection Account may

Section 3.07.
SECTION 3.06. Permitted Withdrawals from the Collection Account.
The Master Servicer may make withdrawals from the Collection Account only
as described below (the order set forth below not constituting an order of
priority for such withdrawals):
(i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the
Interest Reserve Account and the Excess Interest Distribution
Account, the amounts required to be deposited in the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the
Interest Reserve Account and the Excess Interest Distribution
Account pursuant to Sections 4.01(a)(i), 3.05(c), 3.25 and
3.05(d), respectively;
(ii) to pay or reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent for Advances and any related
Advance Interest Amounts (provided that the Trustee and the
Fiscal Agent shall have priority with respect to such payment or
reimbursement, and, provided further, that in the event the
Special Servicer is required pursuant to the terms of Sections
3.22(e) and 4.06(h) to make Advances, the Special Servicer shall
have priority over the Master Servicer with respect to the
payment or reimbursement of any such Advances and any related
Advance Interest Amounts), the Master Servicer's right to
reimburse any such Person pursuant to this clause (ii) being
limited to (x) any collections on or in respect of the
particular Mortgage Loan or REO Property respecting which such
Advance was made, or (y) any other amounts in the Collection
Account in the event that such Advances have been deemed to be
Nonrecoverable Advances or are not recovered from such
recoveries in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or REO
Property after a Final Recovery Determination;
(iii) [Reserved]
(iv) to pay on or before each Master Servicer Remittance Date to the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, as
compensation, the aggregate unpaid Servicing Fee and Special
Servicing Compensation (if any), respectively, in respect of the
immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period, to be paid, in
the case of the Servicing Fee, from interest received on the
related Mortgage Loan, and to pay from time to time to the
Master Servicer in accordance with Section 3.07(b) any interest
or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Collection
Account;
(v) to pay on or before each Distribution Date to the Seller, the
applicable Responsible Party or any other applicable Person as
the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or REO
Property that has previously been purchased or repurchased by it
pursuant to Section 2.03(c), Section 3.18 or Section 9.01, all
amounts received thereon during the related Collection Period
and subsequent to the date as of which the amount required to
effect such purchase or repurchase was determined;
(vi) to the extent not reimbursed or paid pursuant to any other
clause of this Section 3.06, to reimburse or pay the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Seller or the
Fiscal Agent, as applicable, for unpaid Servicing Fees, Special
Servicing Compensation and other unpaid items incurred by such
Person pursuant to the second sentence of Section 3.07(c),
Section 3.08(a) and (b), Section 3.10, Section 3.12(d), Section
3.17(a), Section 3.18(b), Section 6.03, Section 7.04, Section
8.05(d) or Section 10.07, or any other provision of this
Agreement pursuant to which such Person is entitled to
reimbursement or payment from the Trust Fund, in each case only
to the extent expressly reimbursable under such Section, it
being acknowledged that this clause (vi) shall not be deemed to
modify the substance of any such Section, including the
provisions of such Section that set forth the extent to which
one of the foregoing Persons is or is not entitled to payment or
reimbursement;
(vii) to transfer to the Trustee for deposit in one or more separate,
non-interest bearing accounts any amount reasonably determined
by the Trustee to be necessary to pay any applicable federal,
state or local taxes imposed on the Upper-Tier REMIC,
Middle-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC under the
circumstances and to the extent described in Section 4.05;
(viii) to withdraw any amount deposited into the Collection Account
that was not required to be deposited therein; and
(ix) to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 9.01.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to subclauses (ii)-(vi) above.
The Master Servicer shall pay to the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the
Special Servicer from the Collection Account amounts permitted to be paid to the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the Special Servicer therefrom as set forth above,
promptly upon receipt of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
or the Fiscal Agent or a certificate of a Servicing Officer, as applicable,
describing the item and amount to which such Person is entitled. The Master
Servicer may conclusively rely on any such certificate and shall have no duty to
recalculate the amounts stated therein.
The Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer
shall in all cases have a right prior to the Certificateholders to any funds on
deposit in the Collection Account from time to time for the reimbursement or
payment of the Servicing Fees (including investment income), or Trustee Fees,
Special Servicing Compensation, Advances, Advance Interest Amounts and their
respective expenses hereunder to the extent such fees and expenses are to be
reimbursed or paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to
this Agreement (and to have such amounts paid directly to third party
contractors for any invoices approved by the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable).
The Trustee shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution
Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the
Excess Interest Distribution Account any and all amounts received by the Trustee
in accordance with Section 3.06(i). If, as of 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
any Master Servicer Remittance Date or on such other date as any amount referred
to in the foregoing clause (i) is required to be delivered hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall not have delivered to the Trustee for deposit in the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve
Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account the amounts required to be
deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.06(i), then the Trustee shall, to the
extent that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has such knowledge, provide
notice of such failure to the Master Servicer by facsimile transmission sent to
telecopy no. (215) 328-3478 (or such alternative number provided by the Master
Servicer to the Trustee in writing) and by telephone at telephone no. (215)
328-1790 (or such alternative number provided by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee in writing) as soon as possible, but in any event before 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on such day.
SECTION 3.07. Investment of Funds in the Collection Account, the REO
Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Borrower Accounts, and Other
Accounts.
(a) The Master Servicer (or with respect to any REO Account, the Special
Servicer) may direct any Depository institution maintaining the Collection
Account, the Class M Collection Account and any Borrower Accounts (subject to
the second succeeding sentence) and any REO Account (each, for purposes of this
Section 3.07, an "Investment Account"), to invest the funds in such Investment
Account in one or more Permitted Investments that bear interest or are sold at a
discount, and that mature, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business
Day preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from
such Investment Account pursuant to this Agreement. 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 Escrow Account, Lock-Box Account, or
Reserve Account (the "Borrower Accounts"), the Master Servicer shall act upon
the written request of the related Borrower or Manager to the extent the Master
Servicer is required to do so under the terms of the respective Mortgage Loan or
related documents, provided that in the absence of appropriate written
instructions from the related Borrower 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 Trustee (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a
nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee 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 Trustee 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 Trustee or its nominee. The Trustee shall have no
responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, any Borrower or 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), 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)
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 Borrower Account, which
shall be for the benefit of the related Borrower to the extent required under
the Mortgage Loan or applicable law or (ii) any REO Account, which shall be for
the benefit of the Special Servicer, 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 3.17(b), as
applicable. The Master Servicer (or with respect to any REO Account, the Special
Servicer) shall deposit from its own funds into any applicable Investment
Account, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any such Permitted
Investment immediately upon realization of such loss; provided, however, that
the 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 Borrower 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 Borrower under the terms of the Mortgage Loan or applicable law.
All amounts on deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the
Middle-Tier Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Class
Q Distribution Account and the Class M Distribution Account shall be held
uninvested.
(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 (provided
that the Class M Certificateholders shall only have such ability with respect to
the Class M Distribution Account) 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.
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
reasonable best efforts to cause the related Borrower to maintain, to the extent
required by each Mortgage Loan (other than REO Mortgage Loans), and if the
Borrower does not so maintain, shall itself maintain (subject to the provisions
of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances 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 hurricane
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 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. The Special Servicer shall maintain fire
and hazard insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property (subject to the
provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances) in an amount
which is at least equal to 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. If
the Special Servicer does not maintain the insurance described in the preceding
sentence or the required flood insurance described below, the Master Servicer
shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of notice of such failure, maintain
such insurance, and if the Master Servicer does not maintain such insurance, the
insurance required in the first sentence of this Section 3.08(a) or the required
flood insurance described below (if the related Borrower fails to maintain such
insurance), the Trustee shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of notice of
such failure, maintain such insurance and if the Trustee does not maintain such
insurance, the Fiscal Agent shall do so, provided that, in each such case, such
obligation will be subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning
Nonrecoverable Advances and to the availability of such insurance at
commercially reasonable rates. The Special Servicer shall maintain, with respect
to each REO Property (i) public liability insurance providing such coverage
against such risks as the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the
related Loan Documents and the Servicing Standard, to be in the best interests
of the Trust Fund, (ii) insurance providing coverage against 18 months (or such
longer period of time as is consistent with the Loan Documents and the Servicing
Standard) of rent interruptions and (iii) such other insurance as was required
pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan. All insurance for an REO
Property shall be from a Qualified Insurer. 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 Borrower in accordance with the terms
of the related Loan Documents) shall be deposited into the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.05, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.06. 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, 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 Borrower 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 (other than an REO
Property) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the
Master Servicer will use its best efforts to cause the related Borrower to
maintain, to the extent required by each Mortgage Loan, and if the related
Borrower 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 (ii)
the maximum amount of such insurance required by the terms of the related
Mortgage 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 is related to
a Mortgage Loan pursuant to which earthquake insurance was in place at the time
of origination, is required to be maintained pursuant to the terms of the
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to
cause the related Borrower to maintain, and if the related Borrower 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, 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 pursuant to which earthquake insurance was in place at the time of
origination and continues to be 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 the preceding sentences or, with respect to earthquake insurance, in the
amount required by the Mortgage Loan or, if not specified, in-place at
origination. If at any time during the term of this Agreement a recovery under a
flood or fire and hazard insurance policy in respect of an REO Property is not
available but would have been available if such insurance were maintained
thereon in accordance with the standards applied to Mortgaged Properties
described herein, the Special Servicer shall (subject to the provisions hereof
relating to Nonrecoverable Advances) either (i) immediately deposit into the
Collection Account from its own funds the amount that would have been recovered
or (ii) apply to the restoration and repair of the property from its own funds
the amount that would have been recovered, if such application would be
consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that the Special
Servicer shall not be responsible for any shortfall in insurance proceeds
resulting from an insurer's refusal or inability to pay a claim. In the case of
any insurance otherwise required to be maintained pursuant to this Section that
is not being so maintained because the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, has determined that it is not available at commercially
reasonable rates, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall deliver an Officers' Certificate to the Trustee, the Seller and each
Rating Agency which details the steps that were taken in seeking such insurance
and the factors which led to the determination that such insurance was not so
available. Out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer in maintaining insurance policies pursuant to this Section 3.08 shall
be paid by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer as a Property Advance and
shall be reimbursable to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer with interest
at the Advance Rate. The Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with respect
to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) agrees to prepare and present, on
behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims under each
related insurance policy maintained 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 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, unless otherwise required under the related Loan
Documents, shall be issued by Qualified Insurers.
(b) (I) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
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 Borrower has not maintained insurance required by the
related Mortgage Loan or on all of the REO Properties, as the case may be, it
shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations
concerning the maintenance of insurance coverage set forth in Section 3.08(a).
Any such blanket 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), 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
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, 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 Certificateholders, 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 or the Special Servicer, as applicable, causes
any Mortgaged Property or 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), then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall conclusively be
deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations to maintain insurance
pursuant to Section 3.08(a). 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 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, or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the
deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard.
(c) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each maintain a
fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the servicing requirements
of FNMA or FHLMC, whichever is greater, with the Trustee named as
certificateholder or loss payee, as applicable thereunder. 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 the
Montehiedra Partner Loans hereunder in the form and amount that would meet the
servicing requirements of FNMA or FHLMC, whichever is greater, with the Trustee
named as certificateholder or loss payee, as applicable thereunder. The Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cause each and every sub-servicer for it
to maintain, or cause to be maintained by any agent or contractor servicing any
Mortgage Loan and the Montehiedra Partner Loans 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 pursuant to this Section 3.08(c); provided,
however, that with respect to Banco Popular de Puerto Rico so long as it is
acting as the sub-servicer with respect to the Montehiedra Loan, such fidelity
bond and policies of errors and omissions insurance shall be in an amount, form,
and issued by an insurer, that meets the requirements of FNMA. All fidelity
bonds and policies of errors and omissions insurance obtained under this Section
3.08(c) (other than with respect to Banco Popular de Puerto Rico in its capacity
as the sub-servicer of the Montehiedra Loan) shall be issued by a Qualified
Insurer.
SECTION 3.09. Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements;
Defeasance Provisions.
(a) If any Mortgage Loan contains a provision in the nature of a
"due-on-sale" clause, which by its terms:
(i) provides that such Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the
mortgagee's option) become due and payable upon the sale or
other transfer of an interest in the related Mortgaged Property
or related Borrower, or
(ii) provides that such Mortgage Loan may not be assumed without the
consent of the related mortgagee in connection with any such
sale or other transfer,
then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust Fund, the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the Trust Fund
shall not be required to enforce such due-on-sale clause and in connection
therewith shall not be required to (x) accelerate payments thereon or (y)
withhold its consent to such an assumption to the extent permitted under the
terms of the related Mortgage Loan if (x) such provision is not exercisable
under applicable law or such exercise is reasonably likely to result in
meritorious legal action by the related Borrower or (y) the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, determines, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, that granting such consent would be likely to result in a greater
recovery, on a present value basis (discounting at the related Mortgage Rate),
than would enforcement of such clause. If the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable, determines that granting of such consent would likely
result in a greater recovery, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, is authorized to take or enter into an assumption agreement from or
with the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been or is about to
be conveyed, and to release the original Borrower from liability upon the
Mortgage Loan and substitute the new Borrower as obligor thereon, provided, that
(a) the credit status of the prospective new Borrower is in compliance with the
Master Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as applicable, regular commercial
mortgage origination or servicing standards and criteria (as evidenced in
writing by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer) and the terms of the related
Mortgage and (b) the Master Servicer or Special Servicer has received written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that such assumption or substitution would
not, in and of itself, cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the
then current ratings assigned to the Certificates. In connection with each such
assumption or substitution entered into by the Special Servicer, the Special
Servicer shall give prior notice thereof to the Master Servicer. The Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Trustee that any
such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to
the Trustee (with a copy to the Master Servicer, if applicable,) the original
copy of such agreement, which copies shall be added to the related Mortgage File
and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the
same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
(b) Subject to Section 3.26(b), if any Mortgage Loan contains a provision
in the nature of a "due-on-encumbrance" clause, which by its terms:
(i) provides that such Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the
mortgagee's option) become due and payable upon the creation of
any lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property,
or
(ii) requires the consent of the related mortgagee to the creation of
any such lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged
Property,
then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the
Trust Fund, shall not be required to enforce such due-on-encumbrance clause and
in connection therewith will not be required to (i) accelerate the payments on
the related Mortgage Loan or (ii) withhold its consent to such lien or
encumbrance if in either case the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, (x) determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such
enforcement would not be in the best interests of the Trust Fund and (y)
receives prior written confirmation from each Rating Agency that granting such
consent would not, in and of itself, cause a downgrade, qualification or
withdrawal of any of the then current ratings assigned to the Certificates.
(c) 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.
(d) 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) shall contain
any terms that are different from, any term of any Mortgage Loan or the related
Note, other than pursuant to Section 3.27.
(e) With respect to any Mortgage Loan which permits release of Mortgaged
Properties through defeasance:
(i) In the event such Mortgage Loan requires that the Master
Servicer on behalf of the Trustee purchase the required U.S.
government obligations, the Master Servicer shall, at the
Borrower's expense, purchase such obligations in accordance with
the terms of such Mortgage Loan and hold the same on behalf of
the Trust Fund; provided, that the Master Servicer shall not
accept the amounts paid by the related Borrower to effect
defeasance until acceptable U.S. government obligations have
been identified.
(ii) The Master Servicer shall obtain an Opinion of Counsel (which
shall be an expense of the related Borrower) to the effect that
the Trustee has a first priority security interest in the
defeasance deposit and the U.S. government obligations 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.
(iii) The Master Servicer shall obtain a certificate at the related
Borrower's expense from an Independent certified public
accountant certifying that the U.S. government obligations
comply with the requirements of the related Loan Agreement or
Mortgage.
(iv) To the extent required by the related Loan Documents, prior to
permitting release of any Mortgaged Properties through
defeasance, the Master Servicer shall (at the Borrower's
expense) obtain written confirmation from each Rating Agency
that such defeasance would not, in and of itself, result in a
downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current
ratings assigned to the Certificates.
(v) If the Mortgage Loan permits the related Borrower or the lender
or its designee to cause an accommodation borrower to assume
such defeased obligations, the Master Servicer shall establish
at the Borrower's cost and expense (and shall use its reasonable
best efforts to cause the related Borrower to consent to such
assumption) a special purpose entity to assume such obligations,
the establishment of which will not, as evidenced in a writing
of the Rating Agencies delivered to the Trustee, in and of
itself, result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawals of
the ratings then assigned to the Certificates.
SECTION 3.10. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) Within 60 days after the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event,
the Special Servicer shall obtain an Updated Appraisal of the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property, as the case may be, the costs of which shall be a
Property 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 twelve months old. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall obtain annual letter updates to the Updated Appraisal or new Updated
Appraisals, provided, that in the event that the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as applicable, becomes aware pursuant to the financial and property
reports, if any, collected from the related Borrower that net operating income
with respect to any Mortgaged Property (calculated as provided in the related
Loan Documents) has dropped by more than 10% for any fiscal year or the debt
service coverage ratio of any Mortgaged Property (calculated as provided in the
related Loan Documents) has fallen below 1.2 (based on such fiscal year's
financial statements), the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall obtain a new Updated Appraisal.
Following a default in the payment of any principal balance and accrued
interest remaining unpaid on the maturity date of a Mortgage Loan, either (x)
the Master Servicer shall continue to make P&I Advances in accordance with
Section 3.10(j), or (y) the Special Servicer shall foreclose or elect to grant
up to two consecutive one-year extensions of the Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan; provided that the Special Servicer may only extend such Mortgage Loan if
(i) immediately prior to the default on the maturity date (or the first
anniversary thereof in the case of the second extension), the related Borrower
had made twelve consecutive Monthly Payments (or Extended Monthly Payments (as
defined herein) in the case of the second extension) on or prior to their Due
Dates, (ii) the Special Servicer determines that (A) extension of such Mortgage
Loan is consistent with the Servicing Standard and (B) extension of such
Mortgage Loan is likely to result in a recovery which on a net present value
basis would be greater than the recovery that would result from a foreclosure,
(iii) such extension requires that all cash flow on all related Mortgage
Properties in excess of amounts required to operate and maintain such Mortgaged
Properties be applied to payments of principal and interest on such Mortgage
Loan, (iv) the Special Servicer terminates the related Manager unless the
Special Servicer determines that retaining such Manager is conducive to
maintaining the value of such Mortgaged Properties and (v) such extension
requires the related Borrower to make Extended Monthly Payments. The Special
Servicer's determination to extend shall be made in the Special Servicer's good
faith judgment, and may, but is not required to be, based on an Updated
Appraisal or a letter update thereof.
The Special Servicer will not agree to any extension of a Mortgage Loan
beyond the date which is two years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date.
If the related Borrower fails to make an Extended Monthly Payment during the
initial extension period, no further extensions will be granted. In no event
will the Special Servicer be permitted to extend any Mortgage Loan at a rate
lower than the Mortgage Rate.
(b) In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Loan Documents
or other acquisition, the Special Servicer shall pay the out-of-pocket costs and
expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Advance unless the Special
Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Advance would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Special 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(ii) and Section
3.06(iii).
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 Borrower 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 its best judgment, 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 Officers' Certificate
delivered to the Trustee.
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) or a separate trustee or co-trustee on behalf
of the Trustee as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and on behalf of
the holders of the Certificates. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title
and cancellation of the related Mortgage Loan, such Mortgage Loan shall (except
for purposes of Section 9.01) be considered to be a 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. Consistent
with the foregoing, for purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as such
Mortgage Loan shall be considered to be an outstanding Mortgage Loan:
(i) it shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness
evidenced by the related Note shall have been discharged, such
Note and, for purposes of determining the Stated Principal
Balance thereof, the related amortization schedule in effect at
the time of any such acquisition of title remain in effect; and
(ii) Net REO Proceeds received in any month shall be applied to
amounts that would have been payable under the related Note in
accordance with the terms of such Note. In the absence of such
terms, Net REO Proceeds shall be deemed to have been received
first in payment of the accrued interest (not including Default
Interest or Excess Interest) that remained unpaid on the date
that the related REO Property was acquired by the Trust Fund;
second in respect of the delinquent principal installments that
remained unpaid on such date; and thereafter, Net REO Proceeds
received in any month shall be applied to the payment of
installments of principal and accrued interest on such Mortgage
Loan deemed to be due and payable in accordance with the terms
of such Note and such amortization schedule. If such Net REO
Proceeds exceed the Monthly Payment then payable, the excess
shall be treated as a Principal Prepayment received in respect
of such Mortgage Loan.
(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 incident to real property (within the
meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) 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 the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier
REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC,
Middle-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC 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, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership interest or other
equity interest in any Borrower pledged pursuant to any pledge agreement, except
with respect to the Montehiedra Partner Loans.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund, obtain
title to a Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership interest in any
Borrower 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, the Trustee, for the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders,
would be considered to hold title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or
to be an "owner" or "operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of
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:
(A) 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 to take such actions as are necessary
to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith; and
(B) 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 to take such actions with respect to
the affected Mortgaged Property. 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. Any such tests shall be deemed
part of the environmental assessment obtained by the Special
Servicer for purposes of this Section 3.10.
(f) The environmental assessment contemplated by Section 3.10(e) 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. 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. 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.
(g) If the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(e)(A) 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 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)(B) 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 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, but only if the Trustee has mailed notice
to the Holders of the Regular Certificates of such proposed action, which notice
shall be prepared by the Special Servicer and delivered to the Trustee, and only
if the Trustee does not receive, within 30 days of such notification,
instructions from the Holders of greater than 50% of the aggregate Voting Rights
of such Classes directing the Special Servicer not to take such action. None of
the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be obligated to
take any action or not take any action pursuant to this Section 3.10(g) at the
direction of the Certificateholders unless the Certificateholders agree to
indemnify the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect
to such action or inaction. The Special Servicer shall advance the cost of any
such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation unless the Special
Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Advance would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.
(h) The Special Servicer shall report to the IRS and to the related
Borrower, in the manner required by applicable law, the information required to
be reported regarding any Mortgaged Property which is abandoned or foreclosed.
The Special Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee.
(i) The costs of any appraisal or annual letter update obtained pursuant to
this Section 3.10 shall be paid by the Master Servicer as an Advance and shall
be reimbursable from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06.
(j) Following a default in the payment of principal or interest on a
Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer, after consultation and agreement by the
Master Servicer, may elect not to foreclose or institute similar proceedings or
to modify the loan pursuant to Section 3.27 and instead the Master Servicer
shall continue to make P&I Advances with respect to such delinquencies so long
as the Special Servicer, in its reasonable judgment in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, after consultation and agreement by the Master Servicer,
concludes (a) that the election not to foreclose or to modify would likely
result in a greater recovery, on a present value basis, than would foreclosure
or modification and (b) such P&I Advances will not be Nonrecoverable Advances.
SECTION 3.11. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner
Loans, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in
full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master
Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee or the Custodian by 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 or
the Class M Distribution Account, as applicable, have been or will be so
deposited) of a Servicing Officer and 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 Trustee and the Custodian of a Request for Release, the
Trustee 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
into an REO Property or the realization upon the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral,
receipt by the Trustee of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such
Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, as the case may be, 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,
the Lower-Tier Distribution Account or the Class M Distribution Account, as
applicable, have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO
Property or the Master Servicer has foreclosed upon the Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral, the Custodian shall deliver a copy of the Request for Release to the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.
Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver to the Special Servicer (or the Master Servicer in the case
of the Montehiedra Partner Loans) any court pleadings, requests for trustee's
sale or other documents prepared by the Special Servicer, its agents or
attorneys, 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
Borrower on the Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Borrowers on the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, as the case may be, 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.
SECTION 3.12. Servicing Fees, Trustee Fees and Special Servicing
Compensation.
(a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall
be entitled, with respect to each Mortgage Loan and the Montehiedra Partner
Loans and each Interest Accrual Period, to the Servicing Fee, which shall be
payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as set forth in
Section 3.06(iv) (or, with respect to the Montehiedra Partner Loans, from
amounts on deposit in the Class M Collection Account). The Master Servicer's
rights to the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in
connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's responsibilities
and obligations under this Agreement. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to receive, as additional servicing compensation, to the extent
permitted by applicable law and the related Mortgage Loans or the Montehiedra
Partner Loans, as the case may be, any late payment charges, Assumption Fees,
loan modification fees, extension fees, loan service transaction fees, demand
fees, beneficiary statement charges, or similar items (but not including any Net
Default Interest or Prepayment Premiums (other than Prepayment Premiums payable
with respect to the Montehiedra Partner Loans as provided for herein)), in each
case to the extent received and not required to be deposited or retained in the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 (or, with respect to the Montehiedra
Partner Loans, to the extent deposited in the Class M Collection Account and not
otherwise required to offset any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Master
Servicer with respect to the Montehiedra Partner Loans); provided, however, that
the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to apply or retain any amounts as
additional compensation, including any late payment charges, with respect to a
specific Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, as applicable, with
respect to which a default or event of default thereunder has occurred and is
continuing unless and until such default or event of default has been cured and
all delinquent amounts (including any Default Interest) due with respect to such
Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, as applicable, have been paid.
The Master Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to, and to the extent
provided in, Sections 3.06(iv) and 3.07(b) to withdraw from the Collection
Account and the Class M Collection Account and to receive from any Borrower
Accounts (to the extent not payable to the related Borrower under the Mortgage
Loan or applicable law) any interest or other income earned on deposits therein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate Servicing Fee due to the
Master Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date shall be reduced by the
aggregate amount of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related
Collection Period.
As compensation for its activities hereunder, on each Distribution Date the
Trustee shall be entitled with respect to each Mortgage Loan and the Montehiedra
Partner Loans to the Trustee Fee, which shall be payable by the Master Servicer
out of the aggregate Servicing Fee. The Trustee shall pay the routine fees and
expenses of the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the
Custodian and the Authenticating Agent. The Trustee's rights to the Trustee Fee
may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the
transfer of all of the Trustee's responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement.
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. Except as otherwise
provided herein, the Trustee shall pay all expenses incurred by it, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Custodian and the
Authenticating Agent in connection with their activities hereunder.
(b) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer
shall be entitled with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the
Special Servicing Fee, which shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the
Collection Account as set forth in Section 3.06(iv). The Special Servicer's
rights to the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part
except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. In addition, the Special
Servicer shall be entitled to receive, as additional servicing compensation, (i)
to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Specially Serviced
Mortgaged Loans, any Assumption Fees and loan modification or forbearance fees
and (ii) any interest or other income earned on deposits in the REO Accounts.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Special Servicer shall pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder.
(c) In addition to the Special Servicing Fees provided for in this
Agreement, and not in lieu thereof, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to
the following fees and compensation:
(i) the Special Servicing Rehabilitation Fee; and
(ii) the Liquidation Fee payable out of the Liquidation Proceeds
prior to the deposit of the Net Liquidation Proceeds in the
Collection Account. However, no Liquidation Fee will be payable
in connection with, or out of, Liquidation Proceeds resulting
from the purchase of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO
Property (i) by any Responsible Party, or (ii) by the Master
Servicer, the Seller or the Certificateholders pursuant to
Section 2.03 or Section 9.01.
(d) The Master Servicer, Special Servicer 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, Updated Appraisals and
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(vi).
(e) No provision of this Agreement or of the Certificates shall require the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent 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 business judgment of the
Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee or Fiscal Agent, as the case may be,
repayment of such funds would not be ultimately recoverable from late payments,
Net Insurance Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds and other collections on or in
respect of the Mortgage Loans, or from adequate indemnity from other assets
comprising the Trust Fund against such risk or liability.
If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee receives a
request or inquiry from a Borrower, any Certificateholder or any other Person
the response to which would, in the Master Servicer's, the Special Servicer'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
or the Trustee, the cost of which would not be an expense of the Trust Fund
hereunder, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer 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 Borrower or such Certificateholder or such other
Person, as applicable, makes arrangements for the payment of the Master
Servicer's, the Special Servicer's or 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 or the
Trustee, as the case may be, in its sole discretion. Unless such arrangements
have been made, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer 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.
SECTION 3.13. Reports to the Trustee; Collection Account Statements.
(a) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Special Servicer
and the Fiscal Agent, no later than the fifth Business Day prior to each
Distribution Date a preliminary report containing the information provided on
the Master Servicer Remittance Report and by no later than the second Business
Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer Remittance Report with
respect to the related Distribution Date (which shall include, without
limitation, the amount of Available Funds for such related Collection Period)
including a written statement of anticipated P&I Advances for the related
Distribution Date. The Master Servicer's responsibilities under this Section
3.13(a) with respect to REO Mortgage Loans shall be subject to the satisfaction
of the Special Servicer's obligations under Section 3.24.
(b) Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer shall forward to the Trustee a statement prepared by the Master
Servicer setting forth the status of the Collection Account as of the close of
business on the last Business Day of the related Collection Period and showing
the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection
Account of each category of deposit specified in Section 3.05 and each category
of withdrawal specified in Section 3.06 for the related Collection Period. The
Trustee and its agents and attorneys may at any time during normal business
hours, upon reasonable notice, inspect and copy the books, records and accounts
of the Master Servicer solely relating to the Mortgage Loans and the performance
of its duties hereunder.
(c) Subject to Section 8.01(b) hereof, the Trustee shall be entitled to
rely conclusively on and shall not be responsible for the content or accuracy of
any information provided to it by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 3.14. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (the "reporting person") each
shall deliver to the Trustee, the Seller and to the Rating Agencies on or before
April 15 of each year, beginning with April 15, 1998, an Officers' Certificate
stating, as to each signatory thereof, (i) that a review of the activities of
the reporting person during the preceding calendar year (or such shorter period
from the Closing Date to the end of the related calendar year) and of its
performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision,
(ii) that, to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the
reporting person has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement
throughout such year (or such shorter period), or, if there has been a default
in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to
such officer, the nature and status thereof and what action it proposes to take
with respect thereto, (iii) that, to the best of such officer's knowledge, each
sub-servicer has fulfilled its obligations under its sub-servicing agreement in
all material respects, or, if there has been a material default in the
fulfillment of such obligations, specifying each such default known to such
officer and the nature and status thereof, (iv) that it has maintained an
effective internal control system over the servicing of mortgage loans including
the Mortgage Loans and other loans, including the Montehiedra Partner Loans, and
(v) whether it has received any notice regarding qualification, or challenging
the status, of the Upper-Tier REMIC, Middle-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC from the IRS or any other governmental agency or body.
SECTION 3.15. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
On or before April 15 of each year, beginning with April 15, 1998, the
Master Servicer and each Special Servicer (each, a "reporting person") at its
own expense shall cause a firm of nationally recognized Independent public
accountants (who may also render other services to the reporting person) which
is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish
a statement (an "Accountant's Statement") to the Trustee, to the effect that the
assertion of management of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that it
has maintained an effective internal control system over the servicing of
mortgage loans including the Mortgage Loans and other loans, including the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, for the preceding calendar year (or shorter period
from the Closing Date to the end of the related calendar year) is fairly stated,
based on an examination conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform
Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for
Mortgages serviced for FHLMC, except for such stated in such report.
SECTION 3.16. Access to Certain Documentation.
The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall provide to any
Certificateholders that are federally insured financial institutions, the
Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC and the OTS 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 is subject,
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, FDIC, OTS 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. Nothing in this Section 3.16 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
Borrowers, and the failure of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer to
provide access as provided in this Section 3.16 as a result of such obligation
shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.16.
SECTION 3.17. Title and Management of REO Properties.
(a) In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired for the
benefit of Certificateholders 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 the Trustee, or its nominee (which shall not
include the Master Servicer), or a separate trustee or co-trustee, on behalf of
the Trust Fund. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall dispose
of any REO Property within two years after the Trust Fund acquires ownership of
such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless (i) the
Special Servicer on behalf of the Lower-Tier REMIC has applied for an extension
of such two-year period pursuant to Sections 856(e)(3) and 860G(a)(8)(A) of the
Code, in which case the Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within the
applicable extension period or (ii) the Special Servicer seeks and subsequently
receives an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust
Fund), addressed to the Special Servicer and Trustee, to the effect that the
holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property for an additional specified
period will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure
property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined
without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of
the Code) at any time that any Certificate is outstanding, in which event such
two-year period shall be extended by such additional specified period subject to
any conditions set forth in such Opinion of Counsel. The Special Servicer, on
behalf of the Trust Fund, shall dispose of any REO Property held by the Trust
Fund 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 3.18
hereof. The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each
REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt
disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail
to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of
Section 860D(a)).
(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, 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 Section 860G(c) of the Code, which is subject to tax under the REMIC
Provisions only if it has determined, and has so advised the Trustee 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 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 shall be entitled "[applicable
Special Servicer], in trust for LaSalle National Bank, as Trustee, in trust for
Holders of GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, Commercial Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1997-GL I, 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). The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the REO
Account within one Business Day after receipt all revenues received by it with
respect to any REO Property (other than Liquidation Proceeds, which shall be
remitted pursuant to Section 3.18(e) to the Collection Account), 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;
(iii) all costs and expenses reasonable and necessary to protect,
maintain, manage, operate, repair and restore any REO Property;
and
(iv) any taxes imposed on the Upper Tier REMIC, Middle-Tier REMIC or
Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of net income from foreclosure
property in accordance with Section 4.05.
To the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set
forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above and the Special Servicer has provided
written notice of such shortfall to the Master Servicer at least five Business
Days 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. If
the Master Servicer (or, pursuant to Section 3.22(e), the Special Servicer) does
not make any such Advance in violation of the immediately preceding sentence,
the Trustee shall make such Advance; and if the Trustee fails to make any such
Advance, the Fiscal Agent shall make such Advance, unless in either case, the
Trustee or the Fiscal Agent determines that such Advance would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to
rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer (or, pursuant to
Section 3.22(e), the Special Servicer) that an Advance, if made, would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, in determining whether
or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be subject to
the standards applicable to the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer
(or, pursuant to Section 3.22(e), the Special Servicer), the Trustee or the
Fiscal Agent, 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. The Special Servicer shall withdraw from
each REO Account and remit to the Master Servicer for deposit into the
Collection Account on a monthly basis prior to the related Master Servicer
Remittance Date the Net REO Proceeds received or collected from each REO
Property, except that in determining the amount of 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 became imminent, all within the meaning of Section
856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(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 and the Trustee (which
opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that such action
will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard
to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) 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 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 3.17(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 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 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 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 Sections 3.17(a) and 3.17(b).
SECTION 3.18. Sale of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
(a) With respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property
which the Special Servicer has determined to sell in accordance with Section
3.10, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
to the effect that, pursuant to Section 3.10, the Special Servicer has
determined to sell such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property in
accordance with this Section 3.18. The Special Servicer may then offer to sell
to any Person any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan which is in default or for
which default is reasonably foreseeable or any REO Property or, subject to the
following sentence, purchase any such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO
Property (in each case at the Repurchase Price therefor), but shall, in any
event, so offer to sell any REO Property no later than the time determined by
the Special Servicer to be sufficient to result in the sale of such REO Property
within the period specified in Section 3.17(a). The Special Servicer shall
deliver such Officers' Certificate and give the Trustee not less than five
Business Days' prior written notice of its intention to sell any Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, in which case the Special Servicer shall
accept the highest offer received from any Person for any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or any REO Property in an amount at least equal to the Repurchase
Price therefor or, at its option, if it has received no offer (of at least three
offers) at least equal to the Repurchase Price therefor, purchase the Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property at the Repurchase Price.
In the absence of any such offer or purchase by the Special Servicer, the
Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person that is
determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price, as determined in
accordance with Section 3.18(b), for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or
REO Property, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested
Person, or if such offer is determined to be a fair price by the Trustee in
accordance with Section 3.18(b), if the highest offeror is an Interested Person;
provided, that the Trustee shall be entitled to engage, at the expense of the
Trust Fund, an Independent appraiser to determine whether the highest offer is a
fair price and, further provided, that if the highest offeror is an Interested
Person such offer shall not be accepted if it is less than the Repurchase Price,
unless the Rating Agencies have confirmed, in writing, that such acceptance will
not, in itself, result in the qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the then
current ratings assigned to the Certificates. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its
Affiliates may make an offer or purchase any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or
any REO Property pursuant hereto.
The Special Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing
paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer
determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such
offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders. In addition, the
Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with
the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best
interests of the Certificateholders (for example, if the prospective buyer
making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms
offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable),
provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the
Special Servicer.
In the event that the Special Servicer determines with respect to any REO
Property that the offers being made with respect thereto are not in the best
interests of the Certificateholders and that the end of the two-year period
referred to in Section 3.17(a) with respect to such REO Property is approaching,
the Special Servicer shall seek an extension of such two-year period in the
manner described in Section 3.17(a); provided, however, that the Special
Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to
sell each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and any REO Property prior to the
Rated Final Distribution Date.
(b) In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person
represents a fair price for any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any REO
Property, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent
appraiser or other expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the
expense of the Trust Fund. In determining whether any offer constitutes a fair
price for any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any REO Property, the Special
Servicer (if the highest offeror is not an Interested Person) or the Trustee
shall take into account, and any appraiser or other expert in real estate
matters shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other
factors, any Updated Appraisal previously obtained, the period and amount of any
delinquency on the affected Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the physical
(including environmental) condition of the related Mortgaged Property or such
REO Property, the state of the local economy and the Trust Fund's obligation to
dispose of any REO Property within the time period specified in Section 3.17(a).
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall
act on behalf of the Trust Fund in negotiating and taking any other action
necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable
in connection therewith. Any sale of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any
REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
or the Trust Fund (except that any contract of sale and assignment and
conveyance documents may contain customary warranties of title, so long as the
only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust Fund), and, if such sale is
consummated in accordance with the duties of the Special Servicer, the Master
Servicer, the Seller, the Fiscal Agent and the Trustee pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, no such Person who so performed shall have any liability to the
Trust Fund or any Certificate holder with respect to the purchase price therefor
accepted by the Special Servicer, if the offeror is not an Interested Person (or
the Trustee, if an Interested Person is an offeror).
(d) The Special Servicer shall file information returns regarding the
abandonment or foreclosure of Mortgaged Properties with the IRS at the time and
in the manner required by the Code.
(e) The proceeds of any sale pursuant to this Section 3.18 after deduction
of the expenses of such sale incurred in connection therewith shall be promptly,
and in any event within one Business Day following receipt thereof, deposited in
the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(iv).
SECTION 3.19. Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer; Inspections;
Successor Manager.
(a) The Master Servicer (or, with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties, the Special Servicer) shall inspect or cause to be
inspected each Mortgaged Property at such times and in such manner as are
consistent with the Servicing Standard, but in any event shall inspect each
Mortgaged Property (i) with an Allocated Loan Amount of (A) $5,000,000 or more
at least once every 12 months and (B) less than $5,000,000 at least once every
24 months, in each case commencing in August 1998 (or at such lesser frequency
as each Rating Agency shall have confirmed in writing to the Master Servicer
will not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current
ratings assigned to any Class of the Certificates) and (ii) if any Mortgage Loan
(A) becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, (B) has a debt service coverage
ratio (calculated as provided in the related Loan Documents) of less than 1.0
for the immediately preceding twelve-month period or (C) is delinquent for 60
days, the related Mortgaged Property shall be inspected by the Master Servicer
(or the Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) as
soon as practicable and thereafter at least every 12 months for so long as such
condition exists. The cost of any such inspection shall be borne by the Master
Servicer unless the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan,
in which case any out-of-pocket costs incurred with respect to such inspection
shall be treated as a Property Advance and borne by the Trust Fund.
(b) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall enforce the
Trustee's rights with respect to the Manager under the related Loan Documents
and Management Agreement. In the event the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) is entitled to
terminate or cause the related Borrower to terminate the Manager, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall promptly give notice
of its right to terminate the Manager to the Trustee (who shall copy the
Certificateholders and the Rating Agencies), the related Originator, the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Seller. After receipt of
such notice, the most subordinate Class of Certificates then outstanding shall
have the right to recommend termination of the Manager, and if so, to recommend
a Successor Manager (meeting the requirements set forth below).
Certificateholders representing Voting Rights of greater than 50% of such
subordinate Class of Certificates will have ten Business Days from the receipt
of such notice to respond to such notice. Upon receipt of a recommendation to
terminate the Manager and appoint a Successor Manager, the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall give notice of such
recommendation to the Trustee (who shall copy the Certificateholders), and the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall effect such
recommendation unless: (i) within five Business Days of the receipt of notice of
such recommendation, Certificateholders representing Voting Rights of greater
than 50% of any Class of Certificates then outstanding which was assigned a
rating by any Rating Agency on the Closing Date reject such proposed Successor
Manager in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, shall procure a Successor Manager as set forth in the following
sentence; or (ii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, determines that effecting such recommendation to terminate is not consistent
with the Servicing Standard, and either (A) within 30 days of giving notice of
such recommendation to all holders of Certificates (other than those holders
making such recommendation) the notice of rejection described in clause (i)
above is given to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, or (B) notwithstanding the lack of such rejection, the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be, elects not to effect such
recommendation. If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, does not receive a required response (or if the response received is
inconsistent) and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be,
determines it is consistent with the Servicing Standard to terminate the Manager
or in the event the Manager is otherwise terminated or resigns under the related
Mortgage or Management Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as the case may be, shall use its best efforts to retain a Successor Manager (or
the recommended Successor Manager, if any) on terms substantially similar to the
Management Agreement or, failing that, on terms as favorable to the Trust Fund
as can reasonably be obtained. A "Successor Manager" shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
and a professional management corporation or business entity which (i) manages,
and is experienced in managing, other comparable commercial properties, (ii)
will not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current
ratings assigned to the Certificates by each Rating Agency, as confirmed in
writing by each Rating Agency, and (iii) otherwise satisfies any criteria set
forth in the Mortgage and related Loan Documents.
SECTION 3.20. Reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission; Available
Information.
(a) The Trustee shall prepare, sign, and electronically file on behalf of
the Seller, and at the expense of the Seller, any and all Exchange Act Reports
as may be required with respect to the Certificates pursuant to this Agreement;
provided, however, that the Seller shall prepare, sign and file with the
Commission the initial Form 8-K relating to the Trust Fund. In the event the
Seller notifies the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in
writing as to any change in the Exchange Act reporting requirements applicable
to the Certificates, the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer
shall conform the reportings obligations as set forth herein to any such changes
as notified by the Seller. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer agree to
provide such information to the Trustee and such entity as is designated by the
Seller pursuant to Section 3.20(f) in a timely fashion as may be requested by
the Trustee in connection with such Exchange Act Reports, so that such Exchange
Act Reports may be timely filed by the Trustee. Manually-signed copies of each
Exchange Act Report shall be delivered to the Seller to the attention of the
Secretary (or such other Persons as are designated in writing by the Seller),
with a copy to the Trustee.
On a monthly basis, the Trustee will file on behalf of the Trust Fund
within 15 days after the Distribution Date a Form 8-K that would include the
following: (i) the Monthly Distribution Statement, and (ii) certain information
received from the Borrowers under the Loan Documents to the extent received by
the Trustee in electronic format as follows: (a) the most recent monthly
operating statement received from each Borrower including a statement or
specific notation of capital expenditures, leasing commissions, and tenant
improvements; and (b) to the extent received since the filing of the immediately
preceding Form 8-K filed pursuant to this paragraph with respect to each
Mortgage Loan: (1) an officer's certificate of the Borrower, (2) occupancy
reports, (3) tenant sales per square foot and rent per square foot by
merchandise category, (4) all tenant notices, and (5) tenant change reports or
listing of tenants that declared bankruptcy or had lease expirations that did
not renew.
On a quarterly basis, the Trustee will file, to the extent the Trustee
receives the information set forth below in electronic format, within 45 days
after the end of the relevant Borrower's fiscal quarter a Financial Report for
those Borrowers which represent 10% or more of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans (on the date hereof, the Cadillac Fairview Pool
Loan, the Century Plaza Towers Loan, and the AAPT Pool Loan). The quarterly
Financial Report with respect to (i) those Mortgage Loans that represent 20% or
more of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (on the
date hereof, the Cadillac Fairview Pool Loan and the Century Plaza Towers Loan)
shall consist of unaudited financial statements with respect to the Mortgaged
Properties securing such Mortgage Loans, and (ii) those Mortgage Loans that
represent 10% but less than 20% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans (on the date hereof, the AAPT Pool Loan) shall consist of
summarized quarterly financial information (substantially in the form set forth
in Exhibit A-3 to the Seller's Prospectus Supplement dated August 7, 1997
relating to the Certificates) as described in Rule 1.02(bb) of Regulation S-X
with respect to the Mortgaged Properties securing such Mortgage Loan. In
addition, to the extent received since the filing of the immediately preceding

those Borrowers which represent 10% or more of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans (on the date hereof, the Cadillac Fairview Pool

Financial Report with respect to (i) those Mortgage Loans that represent 20% or
more of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (on the

shall consist of audited financial statements with respect to the Mortgaged
Properties securing such Mortgage Loans, and (ii) those Mortgage Loans that
represent 10% but less than 20% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the

respect to the Mortgaged Properties securing such Mortgage Loan. In addition, to
the extent received since the filing of the immediately preceding Financial
Report filed pursuant to this paragraph with respect to the other Mortgage
Loans, the Trustee shall promptly file the annual audited financial statements
for each Borrower (other than the 380 Madison Borrower in which case the
statements may be unaudited) received pursuant to the Loan Documents.
The Master Servicer, each Special Servicer and the Trustee hereby agree to
cooperate with the Borrowers and their accountants in obtaining any consents of
accountants that are required to be filed with any financial statements being
filed on a Form 10-K or Form 8-K.
If information for any Financial Report is incomplete by the date on which
required to be filed, the Trustee shall prepare and execute a Form 12b-25 and

written request of the Seller, the Trustee shall file a Form 15 relating to the
Trust Fund with the Commission and send a copy thereof to the Seller.
(b) The Master Servicer shall promptly prepare and provide to the Trustee a
report (each, a "Special Event Report") reporting (i) any notice from a Borrower
or insurance company, or any knowledge otherwise obtained, regarding an upcoming
voluntary or involuntary prepayment (including that resulting from a casualty or
condemnation) or defeasance of all or part of the related Mortgage Loan
(provided that a request by a Borrower or other Person for a quotation of the
amount necessary to satisfy all obligations with respect to a Mortgage Loan
shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to be such notice); (ii) any imminent or
actual monetary default or other default on a Mortgage Loan the results of which
the Master Servicer, after consultation with the Special Servicer, reasonably
believes is likely to result in the acceleration of the indebtedness due under
such Mortgage Loan; (iii) the results of any property inspection of which the
Master Servicer has knowledge and which has revealed any material damage or
deterioration or the presence of any environmental condition with respect to any
Mortgaged Property; (iv) any notice from a Borrower, or any knowledge otherwise
obtained, regarding any litigation involving such Borrower or any related
Mortgaged Property which the Master Servicer reasonably believes is likely to
have an adverse effect on the Mortgaged Property or the ability of such Borrower
to pay the amounts due under the related Mortgage Loan; (v) any notice received
from a Borrower, Manager or tenant of a Mortgaged Property, or any knowledge
otherwise obtained, regarding the material default of such tenant under the
terms of its lease or early termination by either the tenant or the Borrower of
such lease, the bankruptcy of such tenant or its direct or indirect parent, the
loss of a license or permit relating to the Mortgaged Property or other material
adverse tenant activity; (vi) any amendment, modification or waiver of a
material provision of a Mortgage Loan of which the Master Servicer has
knowledge; (vii) any event of which the Master Servicer has actual knowledge
(other than an event covered by clause (i)) which would result in the release of
any part of the Mortgaged Property; (viii) with respect to the Cadillac Fairview
Pool Loan, any lease termination notice, an announced store closing, or a

Loan, any lease termination notice or a bankruptcy filing involving a tenant
representing greater than 5% of the total annualized base rent for the AAPT Pool

Madison Avenue Loan, any lease termination notice from The Chase Manhattan Bank
or a request for a modification or termination of the master lease or a material

lease termination notice or a bankruptcy filing involving a tenant representing
greater than 5% of the total annualized base rent for the CAP Pool Loan without

that in the event that the Master Servicer after consulting with the Seller and
the Special Servicer determines in its good faith judgment that any of the
preceding items will not materially affect the interests of the
Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall omit such item from the reporting
obligation described above.
With respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any REO Property,
the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer any of the foregoing
events promptly upon the Special Servicer having knowledge of such event. In
addition, in connection with their servicing of the Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide to each other and to the Trustee
written notice of any other known event with respect to a Mortgage Loan or REO
Property that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively,
determines would have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan or REO
Property, which notice shall include an explanation as to the reason for such
material adverse effect.
(c) The Master Servicer shall collect on a monthly basis all information
required pursuant to the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall from time to
time contact the Borrowers regarding the delivery of financial information
required by the Loan Documents commencing at least 15 days prior to the date on
which each Borrower is obligated to provide the Master Servicer with quarterly
and annual financial statements or reports so that such statements and reports
will be delivered to the Master Servicer in a timely fashion. The Master
Servicer will cause such information to be provided for the Trustee to enable
the Trustee to comply with the Exchange Act reporting requirements in this
Section 3.20. Promptly following the end of each calendar quarter and the end of
each calendar year, the Master Servicer shall prepare a Summary Report in the
form of Exhibit H based on information provided to the Master Servicer by the
Borrowers without modification, interpretation or analysis (except that the
Master Servicer will use its best efforts to isolate management fees and funded
reserves from Borrower reported expenses, if necessary). The Master Servicer
shall deliver a copy of each Summary Report to the Trustee. None of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee shall be responsible for the
completeness or accuracy of such information provided by the Borrowers (except
that the Master Servicer will use its best efforts to correct patent errors).
(d) The Master Servicer shall, in accordance with such reasonable rules and
procedures as it may adopt (which may include the requirement that an agreement
that provides that such information shall be used solely for purposes of
evaluating the investment characteristics of the Certificates be executed to the
extent the Master Servicer deems such action to be necessary or appropriate),
also make available any additional information relating to the Mortgage Loans,
the Mortgaged Properties or the Borrowers, for review by the Seller, the Rating
Agencies, the Certificateholders and any other Persons to whom the Master
Servicer believes such disclosure is appropriate, in each case except to the
extent doing so is prohibited by applicable law or by any related Loan Documents
related to a Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer may, but is not required to,
make information which is otherwise available to the public available on the
Internet.
(e) The Trustee shall deliver a copy of each Summary Report and Annual
Compliance Report to each Rating Agency and, upon request, to each
Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner (provided that each Certificateholder and
Beneficial Owner may only make one request per month and will be required to pay
any expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the provision of such
information). The Trustee shall also deliver a copy of each Special Event Report
to each Rating Agency, Certificateholder and, if known, Beneficial Owner within
one Business Day of receipt. The Trustee shall so deliver the foregoing
information and reports and shall file such Summary Reports and Annual
Compliance Reports annually on Form 10-K and shall file such Special Event
Reports on Form 8-K promptly upon the occurrence of the applicable event, in
each case unless the Trust Fund is no longer filing Exchange Act Reports. The
Trustee shall also make available at its offices primarily responsible for
administration of the Trust Fund, during normal business hours, or send to the
requesting party at the expense of each such requesting party (other than the
Rating Agencies) for review by the Seller, the Rating Agencies, any
Certificateholder, any Person identified to the Trustee by a Certificateholder
as a prospective transferee of a Certificate and any other Persons to whom the
Trustee believes such disclosure is appropriate, the following items: (i) this
Agreement, (ii) all Monthly Distribution Statements, (iii) all Annual Compliance
Reports, (iv) all Summary Reports and (v) all Special Event Reports.
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall make available at its
offices during normal business hours, or send to the requesting party at the
expense of each such requesting party (other than the Rating Agencies) for
review by the Seller, the Trustee, the Rating Agencies, any Certificateholder,
any Person identified to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, by a Certificateholder as a prospective transferee of a Certificate
and any other Persons to whom the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, believes such disclosure to be appropriate the following items: (i)
all financial statements, occupancy information, rent rolls and similar
information received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, from each Borrower, (ii) the inspection reports prepared by or on
behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in
connection with the property inspections pursuant to Section 3.19, (iii) any and
all modifications, waivers and amendments of the terms of a Mortgage Loan
entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and
(iv) any and all officer's certificates and other evidence delivered to the
Trustee and the Seller to support the Master Servicer's determination that any
Advance was, or if made would be, a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer
may require that such party execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement
customary in the industry (and approved by the Seller) with respect to such
information.
Copies of any and all of the foregoing items shall be available from the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or the Trustee, as
applicable, upon request at the requesting party's expense.
(f) The Seller shall designate, and pay the expenses of, a financial
printer or other entity (which may be the Trustee) to prepare the materials
required to be filed pursuant to this Section 3.20 for filing via the EDGAR
system, and the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall each cooperate fully
with such entity and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide
the information required hereunder, to the extent made available by the related
Borrowers, in a timely manner in order to allow the Trustee to file such
materials at the times required hereunder. In the event the Trustee does not
receive in electronic format Borrower information it receives in hard copy
format within two Business Days after it receives the information in hard copy,
the Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller by telephone or by facsimile
transmission.
(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.20, at least
three Business Days prior to the date upon which any materials are required to
be filed with the Commission pursuant to the terms hereof, the Trustee shall
provide a copy of such filing, in hard copy form (or such electronic format
acceptable to the Seller), to the Seller (with a copy to the Underwriter). The
Seller shall review such filing and make any necessary corrections to such
filing or direct the Trustee not to make such filing prior to the date such
materials are required to be filed pursuant to the terms hereof.
SECTION 3.21. Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts and Reserve Accounts.
The Master Servicer shall administer each Lock-Box Account, Escrow Account
and Reserve 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.
SECTION 3.22. Property Advances.
(a) The Master Servicer (or, to the extent provided in Section 3.22(b), the
Trustee or the Fiscal Agent or, to the extent specifically provided for in this
Agreement, the Special Servicer) shall make any Property Advances as and to the
extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof.
For purposes of distributions to Certificateholders and compensation to the
Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee, Property Advances shall not be
considered to increase the principal balance of any Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so provide.
(b) The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, and
the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the
Fiscal Agent, 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 (or with respect to a Property Advance required to be made
by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, and if the Master Servicer so
fails, the Trustee), subject to the provisions of Section 3.22(c), shall pay the
amount of such Property Advance in accordance with such information and
instructions. If the Trustee fails to make any Property Advance required to be
made under this Section 3.22, the Fiscal Agent, subject to the provisions of
Section 3.22(c), shall make such Advance on the same day the Trustee was
required to make such Property Advance and, thereby, the Trustee shall not be in
default under this Agreement.
(c) None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the
Special Servicer shall be obligated to make a Property Advance as to any
Mortgage Loan or REO Property if the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines that such Advance will
be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent (or the Master
Servicer with respect to a Property Advance required to be made by the Special
Servicer) shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, that a Property Advance, if
made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee, the Fiscal Agent and the
Special Servicer, in determining whether or not a Property Advance previously
made is, or a proposed Property Advance, if made, would be, a Nonrecoverable
Advance shall be subject to the standards applicable to the Master Servicer
hereunder.
(d) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and/or the
Fiscal Agent, 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(ii) of this Agreement, together with any related Advance Interest Amount in
respect of such Property Advances, and the Master Servicer and Special Servicer
hereby covenant and agree to promptly seek and effect the reimbursement of such
Property Advances from the related Borrowers to the extent permitted by
applicable law and the related Loan Documents.
(e) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, in the event that the
Master Servicer or any of its affiliates forecloses on any of the collateral for
any of the Affiliate Loans and thereby becomes the direct or indirect owner of
the Borrower on the related Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer with respect to
the related Mortgage Loan (whether or not such Mortgage Loan is a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall thereafter make any required Advances with respect
to the related Mortgage Loan and each provision set forth herein with respect to
such Advances which relates to the Master Servicer shall be deemed to relate to
such Special Servicer, including, without limitation, the obligations of the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent to make such Advance upon the failure of the
Special Servicer or Trustee, respectively, to make such Advance. The Master
Servicer shall deliver a copy of the Mortgage File for such Mortgage Loan to the
Special Servicer and shall provide the Special Servicer with reasonable access
to the Master Servicer's records with respect to such Mortgage Loan and the
related Mortgaged Property. The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any
failure of the Special Servicer to make any such Advance.
SECTION 3.23. Appointment of Special Servicer.
(a) The Master Servicer is hereby appointed as the initial Special Servicer
to service each of the Mortgage Loans, other than the Century Plaza Towers Loan
and the Whitehall Pool Loan, and AMRESCO Management, Inc. is hereby appointed as
the initial Special Servicer to service the Century Plaza Towers Loan and the
Whitehall Pool Loan.
(b) Certificateholders representing greater than 50% of the Percentage
Interests of the most subordinate Class of Certificates outstanding at any time
shall be entitled to remove the Special Servicer with or without cause and to
appoint a successor Special Servicer entitled to the same servicing compensation
as its predecessor, provided that each Rating Agency confirms to the Trustee in
writing that such appointment, in and of itself, would not have caused a
downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings assigned to
any Class of Certificates. If there is a Special Servicer Event of Default, the
Special Servicer shall be removed and replaced pursuant to Sections 7.01(c) and
7.02. The Special Servicer may be removed by Certificateholders as aforesaid
with respect to only one or more Mortgage Loans and remain the Special Servicer
with respect to the remainder of the Mortgage Loans; provided that a successor
Special Servicer is appointed, in respect of the Mortgage Loans that the Special
Servicer would no longer be servicing, as provided in this Section 3.23.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Servicer is acting as the Special
Servicer hereunder with respect to a Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer
acquires any Affiliate Loan related to such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
shall promptly resign as Special Servicer hereunder with respect to such
Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 6.04 hereof, and if the Master Servicer
fails to promptly resign, the Trustee shall terminate the Master Servicer as
Special Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan, in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02. The Holders of the most
subordinate Class of Certificates then outstanding shall then appoint a
successor Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 3.23.
(c) The appointment of any such successor Special Servicer, shall not
relieve the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent of their respective
obligations to make Advances as set forth herein; provided, however, the initial
Special Servicer specified in Section 3.23(a) above shall not be liable for any
actions or any inaction of such successor Special Servicer. Any termination fee
payable to the terminated Special Servicer (and it is acknowledged that there is
no such fee payable in the event of a termination of the Master Servicer as
Special Servicer following the occurrence of an event of default hereunder)
shall be paid by the Certificateholders so terminating the Special Servicer and
shall not in any event be an expense of the Trust Fund.
(d) No termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor
Special Servicer shall be effective until the successor Special Servicer has
assumed all of its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder pursuant
to a writing satisfactory to the Trustee and each Rating Agency, as evidenced in
writing and the Trustee has received written confirmation from each Rating
Agency that such appointment would not cause any Rating Agency to qualify,
withdraw or downgrade any of its then current ratings on any Certificates.
(e) Any successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to make the
representations and warranties provided for in Section 2.04(a) mutatis mutandis
as of the date of its succession.
(f) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, for the purposes of
determining the requisite Percentage Interests pursuant to Section 3.23(b), or
the requisite Voting Rights pursuant to Section 7.01(b) and Section 7.02, any
Certificate owned by a Person that is, or whose Affiliate is, also the lender
under any of the Affiliate Loans shall be deemed not to be outstanding and the
Percentage Interests or Voting Rights represented by such Certificate shall not
be taken into account in making such determination.
SECTION 3.24. Transfer of Servicing Between Master Servicer and Special
Servicer; Record Keeping.
(a) Upon determining that any Mortgage Loan has become a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof to the
Special Servicer and shall use its best efforts to provide the Special Servicer
with all information, documents (but excluding the original documents
constituting the Mortgage File) and records (including records stored
electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to the
Mortgage Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to
assume its duties hereunder with respect thereto without acting through a
sub-servicer. The Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to comply with the
preceding sentence within five Business Days of the date such Mortgage Loan
became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and in any event shall continue to act
as Master Servicer and administrator of such Mortgage Loan until the Special
Servicer has commenced the servicing of such Mortgage Loan, which shall occur
upon the receipt by the Special Servicer of the information, documents and
records referred to in the preceding sentence. With respect to each Mortgage
Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall
instruct the related Borrower to continue to remit all payments in respect of
such Mortgage Loan to the Master Servicer. If GMAC Commercial Mortgage
Corporation or AMRESCO Management, Inc. ceases to be the Master Servicer (with
respect to GMACCM only) or the Special Servicer, respectively, the remaining
party of the two and the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, may agree that, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, with respect
to each Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall instruct the related Borrower to remit all payments in respect of
such Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer, provided that the payee in respect
of such payments shall remain the Master Servicer. The Special Servicer shall
remit to the Master Servicer any such payments received by it pursuant to the
preceding sentence within one Business Day of receipt. The Master Servicer shall
forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Borrower of a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the
related Borrower.
Upon determining that no event has occurred and is continuing with respect
to a Mortgage Loan that causes such Mortgage Loan to be a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof to the
Master Servicer and, upon giving such notice, such Mortgage Loan shall cease to
be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with the first proviso of
the definition of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Special Servicer's
obligation to service such Mortgage Loan shall terminate and the obligations of
the Master Servicer to service and administer such Mortgage Loan as a Mortgage
Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan shall resume. In addition,
if the related Borrower 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 Borrower to remit all payments
in respect of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan directly to the Master
Servicer.
(b) In servicing any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer
shall provide to the Trustee originals of documents included within the
definition of "Mortgage File" for inclusion in the related Mortgage File (to the
extent such documents are in the possession of the Special Servicer) and copies
of any additional related Mortgage Loan information, including correspondence
with the related Borrower, and the Special Servicer shall promptly provide
copies of all of the foregoing to the Master Servicer as well as copies of any
analysis or internal review prepared by or for the benefit of the Special
Servicer.
(c) Not later than the Business Day preceding each date on which the Master
Servicer is required to furnish a report under Section 3.13(a) to the Trustee,
the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer a written statement
describing, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, (i) the amount of all
payments on account of interest received on each Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loan, the amount of all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the amount of Net
Insurance Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to each
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the amount of net income or net loss, as
determined from 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
rental income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property with respect to
the REO Property relating to each applicable Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan,
in each case in accordance with Section 3.17 and (ii) such additional
information relating to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as the Master
Servicer or Trustee reasonably requests to enable it to perform its duties under
this Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding subsection (c), the
Master Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to each of
the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and shall provide the Special Servicer
with any information reasonably required by the Special Servicer to perform its
duties under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall provide the Master
Servicer with any information reasonably required by the Master Servicer to
perform its duties under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.25. Interest Reserve Account.
The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Interest Reserve Account in
the Trustee's name 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, the Master Servicer shall remit to the Trustee, in respect of the AAPT
Fixed Component and the CAP Pool Loan, for deposit into the Interest Reserve
Account, an amount equal to one day's interest at the related Mortgage Rate on
the Stated Principal Balance of each such Mortgage Loan or Component as of the
Due 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").
SECTION 3.26. Limitations on and Authorizations of the Master Servicer and
Special Servicer with Respect to Specific Mortgage Loans.
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be
subject to the following limitations or authorizations, as applicable, with
respect to the specific Mortgage Loans identified below.
(i) Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Loan Documents
with respect to the AAPT Pool Loan, any Unscheduled Payments
received in respect of principal with respect to the AAPT Pool
Loan shall be applied, first, to any delinquent payments under
the AAPT Pool Loan; then, to the AAPT LIBOR A Component, until
the Stated Principal Balance of the AAPT LIBOR A Component has
been reduced to zero; next, to the AAPT LIBOR B Component, until
the Stated Principal Balance of the AAPT LIBOR B Component has
been reduced to zero; and finally to the AAPT Fixed Component.
(ii) On or prior to the first day of any calendar month in which the
ninth, tenth or eleventh days of such calendar month are not
Business Days, the Master Servicer shall notify the Borrower
under the Century Plaza Towers Loan that the Century Plaza
Towers Loan Due Date for such calendar month will be the
Business Day immediately preceding the ninth day of such
calendar month.
(b) With respect to any Mortgage Loan which permits the related Borrower,
with the consent or grant of a waiver by mortgagee, to incur additional
indebtedness or to amend or modify the related Borrower's organizational
documents, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
may only consent to either such action, or grant a waiver with respect thereto,
if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that such consent or
waiver is likely to result in a greater recovery on a present value basis
(discounted at the related Mortgage Rate) than would not consenting to such
action and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer first obtains written
confirmation from each Rating Agency that such consent or grant of a waiver
would not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal
of any of the then current ratings assigned to the Certificates. Any such
consent or waiver shall also satisfy the criteria set forth in Section 3.09 (b),
to the extent applicable.
(c) The Master Servicer shall receive bills from the Rating Agencies for
monitoring, review and surveillance of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans
on behalf of the Seller and shall pay such amounts in a timely manner. To the
extent such fees exceed the Rating Agency Monitoring Fee, the Seller shall
reimburse the Master Servicer for such shortfall and to the extent that such
fees are less than the Rating Agency Monitoring Fee, the Master Servicer shall
remit such excess to the Seller. In the event that Rating Agency confirmation is
required in connection with any exercise of rights by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, under any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use its reasonable best efforts to
cause the related Borrower to pay any fee required by the applicable Rating
Agency for such confirmation. If the related Borrower does not pay such fee, and
the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, such fee shall be paid
by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as an Advance
and shall be borne by the Trust Fund. If the Borrower does not pay such fee, and
the Mortgage Loan is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall
pay such fee. Notwithstanding the reimbursement of any such amounts by the Trust
Fund, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall continue to endeavor to
collect any such amounts from the related Borrower.
(d) Prior to taking any enforcement action with respect to a Mortgage Loan
secured in whole or in part by Mortgaged Properties located in a "one-action"
state, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult
with legal counsel admitted to practice in the relevant jurisdiction, the fees
and expenses of which shall be an expense of the Trust Fund.
(e) With respect to all Mortgage Loans that provide that the holder of the
related Note may apply the monthly payment against principal, interest and any
other sums due in the order as the holder shall determine, the Master Servicer
shall apply such Monthly Payment to interest (other than Excess Interest or
Default Interest) under the related Mortgage Loan prior to application to
principal or any other sums due.
(f) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, neither the Master Servicer (nor
the Special Servicer (including in its capacity as a Certificateholder, if
applicable), shall take any enforcement action with respect to the payment of
Excess Interest or principal in excess of the principal component of the
constant Monthly Payment, other than requests for collection, until the Maturity
Date of the related Mortgage Loan; provided, that the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust Fund's right
to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents.
(g) The obligations of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer set forth
in this Section 3.26 shall be subject to the operative documents with respect to
the related Mortgage Loan, and the failure or inability of the related Borrower
to comply with the Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's direction shall
not be deemed to be an Event of Default of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer hereunder.
(h) The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be
permitted, in its discretion, to waive all or any accrued Excess Interest if,
prior to the related Maturity Date, the related Borrower has requested the right
to prepay the Mortgage Loan in full together with all payments required by the
Mortgage Loan in connection with such prepayment except for all or a portion of
accrued Excess Interest, provided that the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, determines (taking into account the value and revenues
of the related Mortgaged Property and the ability of the Borrower to pay the
Mortgage Loan (including such Excess Interest)) that (1) in the absence of the
waiver of such Excess Interest, there is a reasonable likelihood that the
Mortgage Loan will not be paid in full on the related Maturity Date and (2) the
waiver of the right to such accrued Excess Interest is reasonably likely to
produce a larger (and not equivalent) payment in the aggregate to
Certificateholders on a present value basis than a refusal to waive the right to
such Excess Interest. The Master Servicer shall have no liability to the Trust
Fund, the Certificateholders or any other person so long as such determination
is based on such criteria. In no event shall such waiver of such Excess Interest
be effective prior to the date of actual prepayment in full (other than such
waived Excess Interest), and such waiver shall in no event be effective if such
prepayment is not made.
(i) The Master Servicer shall send written notice to each Borrower and the
related Manager and clearing bank that, if applicable, the Master Servicer
and/or the Trustee has been appointed as the "Designee" of the "Lender" (or
equivalent terminology) under any related Lock-Box Agreement.
(j) For any Mortgage Loan and with respect to which, under the terms of the
related Loan Documents, the mortgagee may, in its discretion, apply Insurance
Proceeds, condemnation awards or escrowed funds to the prepayment of such loan
prior to the expiration of the related Lock-out Period, the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, may only require such a prepayment if the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined in accordance
with the Servicing Standard that such prepayment is in the best interests of the
Certificateholders.
SECTION 3.27. Modifications.
(a) During the term of a Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer, may,
consistent with the Servicing Standard, agree to modify a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan to reduce the amount of principal (but, except as provided in this
Section 3.27, not interest) payable monthly on such Mortgage Loan, provided that
(a) a material default in respect of payment on such Mortgage Loan has occurred
or, in the Special Servicer's reasonable and good faith judgment, a default in
respect of payment on such Mortgage Loan is reasonably foreseeable, and such
modification is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery to
Certificateholders, on a net present value basis, than would liquidation; (b)
the Special Servicer terminates the related manager (unless the Special Servicer
determines that retaining such manager is conducive to maintaining the value of
the related Mortgaged Properties); and (c) the Special Servicer may only agree
to reductions of monthly payments of principal lasting a period of no more than
twelve consecutive months and, in the aggregate, to no more than three
reductions of twelve months or less each; provided, however, Certificateholders
representing greater than 66-2/3% of all Voting Rights may direct the Special
Servicer not to agree to any such modification. The Special Servicer shall
promptly provide a copy of such proposed modification to the Master Servicer,
the Rating Agencies and the Trustee. The Trustee shall, within two Business
Days, notify, in writing, all of the Certificateholders that have Voting Rights
of such proposed modification. For purposes of determining whether
Certificateholders represeoting 66-2/3% of all Voting Rights have directed the
Special Servicer not to agree to such modification, each Certificateholder shall
have 15 days following the date of the Trustee's notice to respond to such
notice, and any Certificateholder that has not responded within such time period
shall be deemed to have consented to such modification.
Additionally, the Special Servicer may, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term or forgive
or defer interest on and principal of, and/or add collateral for, any Mortgage
Loan with the consent of Certificateholders representing 100% of the Percentage
Interests of the most subordinate Class of Certificates then outstanding (the
"Directing Class"), subject, however, to each of the following limitations,
conditions and restrictions: (a) a material default in respect of such Mortgage
Loan has occurred or, in the Special Servicer's reasonable and good faith
judgment, a default in respect of payment on such Mortgage Loan is reasonably
foreseeable, and such modification, waiver, amendment or other action is
reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery to Certificateholders, on a net
present value basis, than would liquidation; (b) no reduction in the scheduled
monthly payment of interest on any Mortgage Loan as a result of such
modification, waiver or amendment may result in an Interest Shortfall to any
Class other than the Directing Class, determined as of the date of such
modification, waiver or amendment; (c) any reduction in the scheduled monthly
payment of principal and/or interest on any Mortgage Loan must require that all
cash flow on all related Mortgaged Properties in excess of amounts required to
operate and maintain such Mortgaged Properties be applied to payments of
principal and interest on such Mortgage Loan; (d) the Special Servicer may only
agree to reductions of principal and/or interest lasting a period of no more
than twelve consecutive months and, in the aggregate, to no more than three
periods of twelve months or less each; (e) the Special Servicer may not reduce
any Prepayment Premium or Lock-out Period; (f) the Special Servicer may not at
any time forgive principal of a Mortgage Loan to the extent that the amount
forgiven, together with all amounts of principal previously forgiven pursuant to
this paragraph would be in excess of (i) the Certificate Principal Amount of the
Directing Class less the sum of (ii) the aggregate amount of Appraisal Reduction
Amounts then outstanding and (iii) the aggregate amount of Interest Shortfalls
and Reduction Interest Shortfalls then outstanding (other than with respect to
the Directing Class with respect to Interest Shortfalls); and (g) the Special
Servicer shall not permit any Borrower to add any real property collateral
unless the Special Servicer has first determined in accordance with the
Servicing Standard, based upon an environmental assessment prepared by an
Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental assessments, at the
expense of the Borrower, that such additional real property collateral is in
compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and that there are
no circumstances or conditions present with respect to such new collateral
relating to the use, management or disposal of any Hazardous Materials for which
investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation would
be required under any then applicable environmental laws and/or regulations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall promptly upon request provide
the Special Servicer with such information as is in its possession and as is
reasonably necessary to enable the Special Servicer to make the determinations
required by clauses (b) and (f) above. If the Certificateholders representing
100% of the Percentage Interests of the second most subordinate Class of
Certificates then outstanding consent to such modification, waiver or amendment,
the Directing Class for purposes of the determinations made in clauses (b) and
(f) shall include the second most subordinate Class of Certificates and the
amount by which principal can be reduced shall not be in excess of 80% of the
aggregate principal balance of both such Classes less the items specified in
clause (f)(ii) and (f)(iii). A modification pursuant to this paragraph is not
subject to the veto of Certificateholders set forth in the preceding paragraph
of this Section. For the purposes of determining the Percentage Interest of the
Directing Class, the Certificates held by any Certificateholder that holds, or
whose Affiliate is a lender under, an Affiliate Loan that is related to the
Mortgage Loan that is the subject of such consent shall not be taken into
consideration.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 3.27(a), the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as applicable, shall be permitted to modify, waive or amend any term
of a Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not
reasonably foreseeable, but only if such modification, waiver or amendment (a)
would not be "significant" as such term is defined in Code Section 1001, or
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(3), as determined by the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer (and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may
rely on an Opinion of Counsel in making such determination), (b) would be in
accordance with the Servicing Standard and (c) would not adversely affect in any
material respect the interest of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto.
The consent thereto of the majority of Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected thereby or written confirmation from each Rating Agency
that such modification, waiver or amendment will not result in a qualification,
withdrawal or downgrading of the then current ratings assigned to the
Certificates shall not be required but shall be conclusive evidence that such
modification, waiver or amendment would not adversely affect in any material
respect the interest of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto.
(c) The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide
copies of any modifications, waivers or amendments pursuant to this Section 3.27
to each Rating Agency and to the Seller.
SECTION 3.28. Servicing of the Montehiedra Partner Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall service the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
accordance with the terms of this Section 3.28 and as otherwise provided herein.
Except as provided below, the Master Servicer shall service the Montehiedra
Partner Loans in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Class M
Certificateholders (as determined by the Master Servicer in the exercise of its
good faith and reasonable judgment) and in accordance with applicable law, the
specific terms of the Montehiedra Partner Loans and this Agreement and to the
extent not inconsistent with the foregoing, in the same manner in which, and
with the same care, skill, and diligence as is normal and usual in its general
loan servicing on behalf of third parties or on behalf of itself, whichever is
higher, with respect to loans comparable to the Montehiedra Partner Loans, and
in each event with a view to the timely collection of all scheduled payments of
principal and interest under the Montehiedra Partner Loans, but in any case
without regard to:
(i) any known relationship that the Master Servicer, or any
Affiliate of the Master Servicer may have with any Montehiedra
Partner Borrower or any other parties to this Agreement;
(ii) the ownership of any Certificate by the Master Servicer or any
Affiliate of the Master Servicer; and
(iii) the Master Servicer's obligation to incur servicing expenses
with respect to the Montehiedra Partner Loans.
Subject to the above-referenced servicing standard, the Master Servicer
shall have full power and authority, acting 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 such servicing standard and, in its reasonable
judgment, in the best interests of the Class M Certificateholders. On each Due
Date, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents
with respect to the Montehiedra Loan and the Montehiedra Partner Loans and the
related Lock-Box Agreement, withdraw an amount equal to the MPL Debt Service
Amount from the Montehiedra Loan Lock-Box and deposit such amount into the Class
M Collection Account. In addition, the Master Servicer shall deposit promptly,
but in any event, within one Business Day of receipt, all other collections on
the Montehiedra Partner Loans into the Class M Collection Account, unless the
Master Servicer is otherwise permitted to retain any portion thereof pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any default by the Borrowers under
the Montehiedra Partner Loans, the Master Servicer (except as otherwise provided
in this Section 3.28(a)) shall take such actions as are necessary to realize
upon the collateral with respect to the Montehiedra Partner Loans and to
exercise any rights under the Montehiedra Guarantee in accordance with the
above-referenced servicing standard, this Agreement, the terms of the
Montehiedra Partner Loans Loan Documents and applicable law. At no time shall
the Montehiedra Partner Loans be considered Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee
shall (i) make any advances for delinquent payments with respect to the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, (ii) be entitled to reimbursement with respect to
ordinary and recurring costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with the
servicing and/or administration of its duties hereunder with respect to the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, (iii) be entitled to reimbursement with respect to
extraordinary expenses incurred by it in connection with the servicing and/or
administration of its duties with respect to the Montehiedra Partner Loans
except from collections on (including liquidation proceeds, late payments and
other collections) the Montehiedra Partner Loans; provided, however, that the
Master Servicer will not be required to expend its own funds in connection with
the expenses set forth in this clause (iii) to the extent the Master Servicer
determines, in its good faith, reasonable judgment, that such expenses
(including interest thereon at the Advance Rate) would not ultimately be
recoverable from collections (including liquidation proceeds) on the Montehiedra
Partner Loans (provided that the Master Servicer certifies to its determination
not to expend such funds to the Trustee in an Officer's Certificate of a
Servicing Officer), or (iv) with respect to the Master Servicer, take any action
in servicing the Montehiedra Partner Loans which would in any way conflict with
the best interests of the Certificateholders (other than the Class M
Certificateholders).
In the event of any conflict between the interests of the Holders of
Certificates other than the Class M Certificates, and the interests of the Class
M Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall take such action as it
determines is in the best interest of the Holders of Certificates other than the
Class M Certificates; provided however, that for purposes of this Agreement,
enforcing the Trust Fund's and Class M Certificateholders' rights under the
Montehiedra Partner Guarantee shall conclusively be deemed not to conflict with
the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates.
In the event that the Master Servicer or the Trustee determines, in the
good faith business judgment of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case
may be, that taking certain actions for which the Master Servicer would
otherwise be entitled to reimbursement as provided in clause (iii) in the
immediately preceding paragraph would require the Master Servicer or the Trustee
to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in
the performance of any of their duties with respect to the Montehiedra Partner
Loans, and the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, is unsure
that repayment of such funds would be ultimately recoverable from late payments,
liquidation proceeds and other collections on or in respect of the Montehiedra
Partner Loans (including under the Montehiedra Partner Guarantee), the Master
Servicer or Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be obligated to expend such
funds, unless and until it is directed to do so by 100% of the Holders of Class
M Certificates. Within two Business Day of making such determination, the
Trustee shall notify the Class M Certificateholders in writing, or the Master
Servicer shall notify the Trustee (who shall copy the Class M
Certificateholders) in writing, of such proposed action specifying the related
costs and expenses and certifying as to the basis for such determination. For
purposes of determining whether Certificateholders representing 100% of the
Percentage Interests in the Class M Certificates have directed the Master
Servicer or the Trustee to incur such expenses, each Class M Certificateholder
shall have 15 days after delivery of such notice to respond to such notice, and
any Class M Certificateholder that has not responded within such time period
shall be deemed not to have consented to such expenditure. If Holders of 100% of
the Percentage Interests in the Class M Certificates shall direct the Master
Servicer or Trustee to expend such funds and take such actions, the Class M
Certificateholders shall be deemed to have agreed to, and by purchase of a Class
M Certificate have agreed to, and shall be required to indemnify the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, with respect to reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (with interest thereon at the Advance Rate)
incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, in taking
the related actions.
(b) The Trustee and its agents and attorneys may at any time during normal
business hours, upon reasonable notice, inspect and copy the books, records and
accounts of the Master Servicer solely relating to the Montehiedra Partner Loans
and the performance of its duties hereunder.
(c) The Master Servicer shall cause the Montehiedra Partner Borrowers to
maintain, to the extent required by the related Loan Documents, and if the
Montehiedra Partner Borrowers do not so maintain, shall itself maintain (subject
to the provisions of Section 3.28(a) concerning payment of expenses to the
extent the Trustee as lender has an insurable interest and to the extent
available at commercially reasonable rates), such insurance and in such amounts
as is required in the related Loan Documents. In the event that the Master
Servicer realizes on the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral, the Master Servicer
shall maintain (subject to the provisions of Section 3.28(a) concerning payment
of expenses) to the extent the Trustee as lender has an insurable interest and
to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates, such insurance and in
such amounts as would otherwise be required of the Montehiedra Partner Borrowers
in the related Loan Documents. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer
under any such policies shall be deposited into the Class M Distribution
Account. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such
insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Class M
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the Montehiedra
Partner Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of the Montehiedra Partner Loans
so permit. The Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of
itself, the Trustee and the Class M Certificateholders, claims under each
related insurance policy maintained pursuant to this Section 3.28(c) 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 hereunder shall name the Trustee or the
Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the lender, as loss payee.
If the Master Servicer utilizes a master force placed insurance policy to
execute its obligations in the preceding paragraph and such policy shall be
issued by a Qualified Insurer and provide no less coverage in scope and amount
for the Montehiedra Partner Loans than the insurance required to be maintained
pursuant to the preceding paragraph, then the Master Servicer shall conclusively
be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations to maintain insurance
pursuant to this Section 3.28(c). Such policy may contain a deductible clause,
in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that (i) there shall not
have been maintained a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of the
preceding paragraph, 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 Class M Distribution 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 contained in the
related Loan Documents, or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation,
the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard.
(d) In the event of any default under the Montehiedra Partner Loans, the
Master Servicer shall promptly take such actions as are necessary to enforce the
rights of the Trust Fund and the Class M Certificateholders under the
Montehiedra Partner Guaranty prior to taking any actions to foreclose upon the
Montehiedra Pledged Collateral.
In the event that title to the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral is acquired
for the benefit of the Class M Certificateholders in foreclosure or upon
abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee (which shall not
include the Master Servicer), or a separate trustee or co-trustee, on behalf of
the Trust Fund. The Master 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 the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral as
are consistent with the manner in which similar assets are managed by the Master
Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the
Master Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Class M Certificateholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall manage any of the
assets constituting the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral as required above, in a
manner consistent with the prompt disposition of such assets and in accordance
with the Servicing Standard.
(e) Upon determining to sell the assets constituting the Montehiedra
Pledged Collateral, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate to the effect that the Master Servicer has determined to
sell such assets in accordance with this Section 3.28. The Master Servicer may
then offer to sell to any Person such assets. The Master Servicer shall deliver
such Officers' Certificate and give the Trustee not less than ten Business Days
prior written notice of its intention to sell any assets, in which case the
Master Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person for any
such assets in an amount at least equal to the Repurchase Price therefor.
In the absence of any such offer, the Master Servicer shall accept the
highest offer received from any Person that is determined by the Master Servicer
to be a fair price, for such assets, if the highest offeror is a Person other
than an Interested Person, or is determined to be a fair price by the Trustee,
if the highest offeror is an Interested Person; provided, that if the highest
offeror is an Interested Person such offer shall not be accepted if it is less
than the Repurchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none
of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, in any capacity, nor
any of their respective Affiliates may make an offer or purchase any of the
assets constituting or relating to the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral pursuant
hereto.
The Master Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing
paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Master Servicer
determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such
offer would be in the best interests of the Class M Certificateholders. In
addition, the Master Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be
in the best interests of the Class M Certificateholders (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). The proceeds of any sale pursuant to this Section
3.28 after deduction of the expenses of such sale incurred in connection
therewith shall be promptly, and in any event within one Business Day following
receipt thereof, deposited in the Class M Distribution Account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not sell nor
foreclose upon the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral to any Person; until it has
received confirmation in writing from each of the Rating Agencies that such
foreclosure or sale will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade,
withdrawal or qualification of the ratings then assigned to any of the then
rated Certificates (other than the Class M Certificates).
In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person
represents a fair price for any of the assets constituting or relating to the
Montehiedra Pledged Collateral, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion
of an Independent appraiser or other expert in real estate matters retained by
the Trustee (the expense of which shall be reimbursable to the Trustee from the
proceeds of any resulting sale only).
The Master Servicer shall file information returns regarding the
abandonment or foreclosure of Montehiedra Pledged Collateral with the IRS at the
time and in the manner required by the Code.
(f) During the term of the Montehiedra Partner Loans, the Master Servicer,
may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, agree to modify the Montehiedra
Partner Loans to reduce the amount of principal and/or interest payable monthly
on the Montehiedra Partner Loans, provided that (a) a material default in
respect of payment on the Montehiedra Partner Loans has occurred or, in the
Master Servicer's reasonable and good faith judgment, a default in respect of
payment on the Montehiedra Partner Loans is reasonably foreseeable, and such
modification is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery to the Class M
Certificateholders, on a net present value basis, than would liquidation; and
(b) the Master Servicer may only agree to reductions of principal lasting a
period of no more than twelve consecutive months and, in the aggregate, to no
more than three reductions of twelve months or less each; provided, however,
Class M Certificateholders representing greater than 66-2/3% of the Percentage
Interests in the Class M Certificates may direct the Master Servicer not to
agree to any such modification. The Master Servicer shall promptly provide a
copy of such proposed modification to the Rating Agencies and the Trustee. The
Trustee shall, within two Business Days, notify, in writing, all of the Class M
Certificateholders of such proposed modification. For purposes of determining
whether Certificateholders representing 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests in
the Class M Certificates have directed the Master Servicer not to agree to such
modification, each Class M Certificateholder shall have 15 days after delivery
of such notice to respond to such notice, and any Class M Certificateholder that
has not responded within such time period shall be deemed to have consented to
such modification.
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall be
permitted to modify, waive or amend any term of the Montehiedra Partner Loans
although it is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably
foreseeable but only if such modification, waiver or amendment (a) would not be
"significant" as such term is defined in Code Section 1001, as determined by the
Master Servicer (and the Master Servicer may rely on an Opinion of Counsel in
making such determination), (b) would be in accordance with the Servicing
Standard set forth in Section 3.28(a) and (c) would not adversely affect in any
material respect the interest of any Class M Certificateholder not consenting
thereto. The consent thereto of the majority of Percentage Interests of the
Class M Certificates or written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such
modification, waiver or amendment will not result in a qualification, withdrawal
or downgrading of the then current ratings assigned to the Class M Certificates
shall not be required but shall be conclusive evidence that such modification,
waiver or amendment would not adversely affect in any material respect the
interest of any Class M Certificateholder not consenting thereto.
(g) The Master Servicer shall provide copies of any modifications, waivers
or amendments pursuant to this Section 3.28 to each Rating Agency and to the
Seller.

ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
SECTION 4.01. Distributions.
(a) (i) On each Distribution Date, to the extent of Available Funds,
amounts held in the Collection Account shall be withdrawn by the Master Servicer
and remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account
(except that an amount equal to the AAPT Strip shall be deposited in the Class Q
Distribution Account, an amount equal to the Class X-1A Strip shall be deposited
in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account and an amount equal to the Class X-1B
Strip shall be deposited in the Middle-Tier Distribution Account). On each
Distribution Date, the amount that has been so transferred to the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account from the Collection Account shall be distributed on the
Lower-Tier Regular Interests to the Middle-Tier REMIC and the amount so
deposited in the Middle-Tier Distribution Account shall be distributed on the
Middle-Tier Regular Interests to the Upper-Tier REMIC, in accordance with the
provisions set out herein. Thereafter, such amounts shall be considered to be
held in the Upper-Tier Distribution Account until distributed to the
Certificateholders.
On each Distribution Date, the Middle-Tier REMIC shall be deemed to receive
payments of interest and principal, in an aggregate amount equal to the
distributions to be made on that date on the Lower-Tier Regular Interests
(exclusive of payments of Prepayment Premiums), which distributions shall be as
follows:
First, to pay interest on the Class LA-1T, Class LA-1S, Class LF-T and
Class LF-S Interests, up to an amount equal to, and pro rata as among such
Classes in accordance with, Interest Distribution Amount in respect of each such
Class for such Distribution Date;
Second, (i) if (x) the sum of the Certificate Principal Amounts of the
Class LA-1T and the Class LA-1S Interests exceeds (y) the product of the Loan
Fraction and the sum of the Certificate Principal Amounts of the Lower-Tier
Regular Interests, then to make payments of principal on the Class LA-1T and the
Class LA-1S Interests, up to an aggregate amount equal to such excess, as
follows: 99% of such amount to the Class LA-1T Interest in reduction of its
Certificate Principal Amount and 1% of such amount to the Class LA-1S Interest
in reduction of its Certificate Principal Amount; or (ii) if the amount in
clause (y) exceeds the amount in clause (x), then to make payments of principal
on the Class LF-T and the Class LF-S Interests, up to an aggregate amount equal
to such excess, as follows: 99% of such amount to the Class LF-T Interest in
reduction of its Certificate Principal Amount and 1% of such amount to the Class
LF-S Interest in reduction of its Certificate Principal Amount;
Third, to make payments of principal on the Class LA-1T and Class LA-1S
Interests from the Principal Distribution Amount for Loan Group 1 and to the
Class LF-T and Class LF-S Interests from the Principal Distribution Amount for
Loan Group 2 up to an amount equal to, and pro rata as between such respective
Classes, in accordance with their Certificate Principal Amounts, until such
Certificate Principal Amounts have been reduced to zero; and
Fourth, to reimburse the Class LA-1T, Class LA-1S, Class LF-T, and Class
LF-S Interests, up to an amount equal to, and pro rata as between such Classes
in accordance with, the sum for each Class of the Realized Losses, if any,
previously deemed allocated to such Class and for which no reimbursement has
previously been paid and interest thereon at the Pass-Through Rate applicable to
such Class from the time allocated to such Class until repaid.
Realized Losses shall be allocated to the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, in
an aggregate amount equal to the allocation on such Distribution Date of
Realized Losses to the Middle-Tier Regular Interests, as follows:
First, (i) if (x) the sum of the Certificate Principal Amounts of the Class
LA-1T and the Class LA-1S Interests exceeds (y) the product of the Loan Fraction
and the sum of the Certificate Principal Amounts of the Lower-Tier Regular
Interests, then to reduce the respective Certificate Principal Amounts of the
Class LA-1T and the Class LA-1S Interests, up to an aggregate amount equal to
such excess, as follows: 99% of such allocation to the Class LA-1T Interest and
1% of such allocation to the Class LA-1S Interest; or (ii) if the amount in
clause (y) exceeds the amount in clause (x), then to reduce the respective
Certificate Principal Amounts of the Class LF-T and the Class LF-S Interests, up
to an aggregate amount equal to such excess, as follows: 99% of such allocation
to the Class LF-T Interest and 1% of such allocation to the Class LF-S Interest;
and
Second, to the Class LA-1T and Class LA-1S Interest in respect of Realized
Losses on the Group 1 Loans and to the Class LF-T and Class LF-S Interests in
respect of Realized Losses on the Group 2 Loans pro rata as between such
respective Classes in accordance with their respective Certificate Principal
Amounts, until such Certificate Principal Amounts have been reduced to zero.
Any Prepayment Premium distributed on a Middle-Tier Regular Interest on
such Distribution Date shall be deemed paid on the Classes of Lower-Tier Regular
Interests, to the Lower-Tier Regular Interests pro rata as among such Classes in
accordance with their respective Certificate Principal Amounts. Any Excess
Prepayment Interest Shortfall shall be allocated to the Lower-Tier Regular
Interests pro rata, in accordance with the Interest Distribution Amount of such
Classes before reduction for such Net Prepayment Interest Shortfall.
(ii) Principal amounts, rates of interest and timing of payments on each
Middle-Tier Regular Interest (other than the Class MX-1B Interest) will be
identical to such amounts, rates, and timing on the corresponding Related
Certificates, except that, solely for this purpose, all calculations of interest
with respect to the Related Middle-Tier Regular Interests shall be made as
though the Class A-2A, Class A-2B, Class A-2C, Class A-2D, Class B, Class C,
Class D, Class E, Class F and Class G Certificate Pass-Through Rates were equal
to the Adjusted WAC Rate and as though the Class X-2 Notional Amount were zero
at all times, such that the rates of interest and timing of interest payments on
each Related Middle-Tier Regular Interest represent the aggregate of the
corresponding amounts on each Related Certificate and its related component of
the Class X-2 Certificates. With respect to any Distribution Date and the Class
MX-1B Interest, the Interest Distribution Amount distributable thereon shall be
based on an Interest Accrual Amount equal to interest for the related Interest
Accrual Period at the Pass-Through Rate for such Class on the Notional Amount of
the Class X-1B Certificates.
Any Prepayment Premium that is to be paid to a Regular Certificate, other
than the Class X-1A, Class X-1B or Class X-2 Certificates, shall be paid to the
Related Middle-Tier Regular Interest, and the balance of any such Prepayment
Premium, so long as any one or more of the Class MA-1A, Class MA-1B, Class
MA-2A, Class MA-2B, Class MA-2C, Class MA-2D, Class MB, Class MC, Class MD,
Class ME, Class MF or Class MG Interests remain outstanding, shall be paid to
such Middle-Tier Regular Interests, pro rata, in proportion to the Interest
Distribution Amount for the Related Certificates for such Distribution Date.
Realized Losses shall be allocated to, and shall reduce the Certificate
Principal Amounts of, each Class of Middle-Tier Regular Interests without
distribution on any Distribution Date, to the extent that the Certificate
Principal Amount of such Class exceeds the Certificate Principal Amount of the
corresponding Related Certificates because of Realized Losses allocated to such
Related Certificates.
(b) On each Distribution Date prior to the Cross-over Date, Holders of each
Class of Certificates (other than the Class M, Class Q, Class R, Class MR and
Class LR Certificates) shall receive distributions from amounts on deposit in
the Upper-Tier Distribution Account in respect of interest and principal, to the

Certificates as follows:
Prepayment Premiums received during any Collection Period with respect to

Date (i) to the holders of the Class X-1A Certificates, in an amount equal to
the product of (x) the number of Distribution Dates remaining after such
Distribution Date until and including the Distribution Date occurring in July
2000, (y) the applicable Class X-1A Prepayment Factor, and (z) the amount of
principal prepaid with respect to such Distribution Date, and (ii) to the
holders of the Class X-1B Certificates, the amount of any Prepayment Premiums
received with respect to the AAPT Pool Loan remaining after the distributions
set forth in clause (i) above. As used above, the "Class X-1A Prepayment Factor"
means (i) an amount equal to (x) the excess of 0.8715% over the Initial Class
A-1 Margin, divided by (y) 12, with respect to any prepayment allocated to AAPT
LIBOR A Component, and (ii) an amount equal to (x) the excess of 0.7015% over
the Initial Class A-1 Margin, divided by (y) 12, with respect to any prepayment

holders of the Class A-2A, Class A-2B, Class A-2C, Class A-2D, Class B, Class C,
Class D, Class E, Class F and Class G Certificates, for each such Class an
amount equal to the product of (a) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
amount distributed as principal to such Class on such Distribution Date, and the
denominator of which is the total amount distributed as principal to all Classes
of Sequential Pay Certificates (other than the Class A-1 and Class H
Certificates) on such Distribution Date, (b) the Base Interest Fraction for the
related Principal Prepayment and such Class of Certificates and (c) the
aggregate amount of Prepayment Premiums collected on such Principal Prepayment
during the Collection Period. Any Prepayment Premiums collected during such
Collection Period remaining after such distributions will be distributed to the
holders of the Class X-2 Certificates.
(d) On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall withdraw (i) the amount of
any Net Default Interest received in the related Collection Period from the
Class Q Distribution Account, and (ii) with respect to the initial Distribution
Date, the amount of the AAPT Strip and shall distribute such funds to the
holders of the Class Q Certificates.
(e) On each Distribution Date, any Excess Interest received during the
related Collection Period shall be distributed to holders of Certificates as
follows: (i) any Excess Interest received with respect to the AAPT LIBOR
Components, to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) any Excess
Interest received with respect to the Cadillac Fairview Pool Loan, to the
holders of the Class A-2B and Class A-2C Certificates, pro rata, based on their
initial Certificate Principal Amounts, and (iii) any Excess Interest received
with respect to any other Mortgage Loans (other than the 380 Madison Loan and
Whitehall Pool Loan) and the AAPT Fixed Component, to the holders of the Class
A-2D, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E and Class F Certificates, pro rata, on
their initial Certificate Principal Amounts. Notwithstanding the reduction of
the Certificate Principal Amount of any of the aforementioned Classes of
Certificates to zero, such Class may receive distributions in respect of Excess
Interest in accordance with the allocations set forth herein.
(f) On each Distribution Date with respect to the Class M Certificates, the
Trustee shall withdraw from the Class M Distribution Account (to the extent
funds are available therefor) an amount equal to the Interest Distribution
Amount with respect to the Class M Certificates and any other amounts on deposit
in the Class M Distribution Account allocable to principal and shall distribute
such funds to the holders of the Class M Certificates. On each Distribution
Date, after the distributions in the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall
distribute to each Class M Certificateholder, pro rata, any other collections,
including any prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges, received by the
Master Servicer with respect to the Montehiedra Partner Loans during the related
Collection Period (to the extent not otherwise permitted to be retained by the
Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof). The Certificate Principal Amount
of the Class M Certificates will be reduced by amounts actually distributed
thereon that are attributable to principal and by any Realized Losses with
respect to the Montehiedra Partner Loans.
(g) The Certificate Principal Amount of each Class of Sequential Pay
Certificates entitled to distributions of principal will be reduced without
distribution on any Distribution Date, as a write-off, to the extent of any
Realized Loss allocated to such Class on such Distribution Date. Any such
write-offs will be applied to such Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates in the
following order, until each is reduced to zero; first, to the Class H
Certificates; second, to the Class G Certificates; third, to the Class F
Certificates, fourth, to the Class E Certificates; fifth, to the Class D
Certificates; sixth; to the Class C Certificates; seventh, to the Class B
Certificates; and, finally, pro rata to the Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B,
Class A-2C and Class A-2D 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 described above in the reverse order of allocation of Realized
Losses thereto.
Shortfalls in Available Funds resulting from additional servicing
compensation other than the Servicing Fee, interest on Advances not covered by
Default Interest, Additional Trust Fund Expenses, a reduction of the interest
rate of a Mortgage Loan by a bankruptcy court pursuant to a plan of
reorganization or pursuant to any of its equitable powers or other unanticipated
or default-related expenses will be allocated to each Class of Certificates
(other than the Class M Certificates) in the same manner as Realized Losses.
Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfalls will be allocated to each Class of
Certificates, pro rata, based upon the amount of interest which would have
otherwise been distributed to each Class of Certificates (without giving effect
to any Reduction Interest Distribution Amount).
(h) 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
Trustee 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
Trustee 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.
(i) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01 with respect to an
Anticipated Termination Date, the Trustee shall, no later than the fifteenth day
of the month in the month preceding the month in which the final distribution
with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made, mail to each
Holder of such Class of Certificates, on such date a notice to the effect that:
(A) the Trustee 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 Trustee therein specified, and
(B) if such final distribution is made on such Distribution Date, no
interest shall accrue on such Certificate, or on the Related
Lower-Tier Regular Interests from and after such Distribution
Date;
provided, however, that the Class Q, Class R, Class MR and Class LR Certificates
shall remain outstanding until there is no other Class of Certificates (other
than the Class M 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(i)
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the
time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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 Trustee all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Trustee
shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders until the
earlier of (i) its termination as Trustee hereunder and the transfer of such
amounts to a successor Trustee 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 Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to
surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this
Section 4.01(i). 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.
(j) The Certificate Principal Amounts of the Class H, Class G, Class F,
Class E, Class D, Class C and Class B Certificates will be notionally reduced on
any Distribution Date for purposes of determining the Notional Amount of the
Class X-2 Certificates to the extent of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts
allocated to such Class with respect to such Distribution Date. To the extent
that the aggregate of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts for any Distribution Date
do exceed such Certificate Principal Amount, such excess will be applied,
subject to any reversal described below, to notionally reduce the Certificate
Principal Amounts of the next most subordinate Class of Certificates on the next
Distribution Date. Any such reductions will be applied in the following order of
priority: first, to the Class H Certificates; second, to the Class G
Certificates; third, to the Class F Certificates; fourth, to the Class E
Certificates; fifth, to the Class D Certificates; sixth, to the Class C
Certificates; and finally to the Class B Certificates (provided in each case
that no Certificate Balance in respect of any such Class may be notionally
reduced below zero).

Servicer to disseminate information for such reason shall not be a breach
hereof.
SECTION 4.03. Compliance with Withholding Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Paying Agent
shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments
to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Paying
Agent reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for any such withholding. The Paying
Agent agrees that it will not withhold with respect to payments of interest or
original issue discount in the case of a Certificateholder that is a non-U.S.
Person that has furnished or caused to be furnished (i) an effective Form W-8 or
Form W-9 or an acceptable substitute form or a successor form and who is not a
"10-percent shareholder" within the meaning of Code Section 871(h)(3)(B) or a
"controlled foreign corporation" described in Code Section 881(c)(3)(C) with
respect to the Trust Fund or the Seller, or (ii) an effective Form 4224 or an
acceptable substitute form or a successor form. In the event the Paying Agent or
its agent withholds any amount from interest or original issue discount payments
or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding
requirements, the Paying Agent shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholder. Any amount so withheld shall be treated as having been
distributed to such Certificateholder for all purposes of this Agreement.
SECTION 4.04. REMIC Compliance.
(a) The parties intend that each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier
REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC shall constitute, and that the affairs of each of
the Upper-Tier REMIC, Middle-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier 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 shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of
such intention, the Trustee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
act as agent, and is hereby appointed to act as agent, of each of the Upper-Tier
REMIC, Middle-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC and shall on behalf of each of
the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC: (i)
prepare, sign and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all required Tax
Returns for each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, Middle-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier
REMIC, using a calendar year as the taxable year for each of the Upper-Tier
REMIC, Middle-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier 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 of the Upper-Tier REMIC, Middle-Tier
REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, to be treated as a REMIC on Form 1066 for its
first taxable year, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (iii) prepare and
forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and
the Internal Revenue Service 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 and Section 4.07; (iv) if the filing or
distribution of any documents of an administrative nature not addressed in
clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 4.05(a) is then required by the REMIC
Provisions in order to maintain the status of the Upper-Tier REMIC, Middle-Tier
REMIC or the Lower-Tier 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 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) within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to
be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on 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 Trustee shall act as the representative of each of the Upper-Tier
REMIC, Middle-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC for this purpose), together
with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and shall
update such information at the time or times and in the manner required by the
Code (and the Seller agrees within 10 Business Days of the Closing Date to
provide any information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer or the
Trustee and necessary to make such filing); and (vi) maintain such records
relating to each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, Middle-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier
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, Class MR or Class LR Certificates shall be
the tax matters person of the Upper-Tier REMIC, Middle-Tier REMIC or the
Lower-Tier REMIC, respectively, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section
1.860F-4(d). If more than one Holder should hold an equal Percentage Interest in
the Class R, Class MR or Class LR Certificates larger than that held by any
other Holder, the first such Holder to have acquired such Class R, Class MR or
Class LR Certificates shall be such tax matters person. The Trustee shall act as
attorney-in-fact and agent for the tax matters person of each of the Upper-Tier
REMIC, Middle-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC, and each Holder of a Percentage
Interest in the Class R, Class MR or Class LR Certificates, by acceptance
hereof, is deemed to have consented to the Trustee's appointment in such
capacity and agrees to execute any documents required to give effect thereto,
and any fees and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with any audit
or administrative or judicial proceeding shall be paid by the Trust Fund. The
Trustee shall not intentionally take any action or intentionally omit to take
any action if, in taking or omitting to take such action, the Trustee knows that
such action or omission (as the case may be) would cause the termination of the
REMIC status of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier
REMIC or the imposition of tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC or
the Lower-Tier 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 to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be required
to take any action that the Trustee in good faith believes to be inconsistent
with any other provision of this Agreement, nor shall the Trustee 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 Trustee shall have
no responsibility or liability with respect to any act or omission of the Seller
or the Master Servicer which does not enable the Trustee to comply with any of
clauses (i) through (vi) of the fifth preceding sentence or which results in any
action contemplated by clauses (i) through (iii) of the next succeeding
sentence. In this regard the Trustee shall (i) exercise reasonable care not to
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 Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (at such party's expense) that such occurrence
would not (A) result in a taxable gain, (B) otherwise subject the Upper-Tier
REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC to tax (other than a tax at the
highest marginal corporate tax rate on net income from foreclosure property), or
(C) cause any of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC; and (ii) exercise reasonable care not to allow
any of the Trust REMICs to receive income from the performance of services or
from assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by a 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 Class R Certificates, in the Middle-Tier REMIC other than
the Middle-Tier Regular Interests and the Class MR Certificates, or in the
Lower-Tier REMIC other than the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Class LR
Certificates. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Seller
shall be responsible or liable for any failure by the Trustee to comply with the
provisions of this Section 4.04. The Seller, the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall cooperate in a timely manner with the Trustee in supplying any
information within the Seller's, the Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's
control (other than any confidential information) that is reasonably necessary
to enable the Trustee 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 Seller and the Class LR Certificateholders 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 by the applicable Responsible Party or
the Seller pursuant to Article II hereof.
SECTION 4.05. Imposition of Tax on the Trust Fund.
In the event that any tax, including interest, penalties or assessments,
additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on the Upper-Tier REMIC,
Middle-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts
otherwise distributable to the Holders of the 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 Trustee amounts reasonably determined by the
Trustee to be necessary to pay such taxes, which the Trustee shall maintain in a
separate, non-interest-bearing account, and the Trustee shall deposit in the
Collection Account the excess determined by the Trustee from time to time of the
amount in such account over the amount necessary to pay such taxes) and shall be
paid therefrom; 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(viii) and the next
sentence. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Trustee is hereby
authorized to and shall retain or cause to be retained from the Collection
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
the Upper-Tier REMIC, Middle-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC (but such
authorization shall not prevent the Trustee 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
Trustee 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 the Upper-Tier REMIC, Middle-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier 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 Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Middle-Tier
Distribution Account or the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, as the case may
be). To the extent that any such tax is paid to the Internal Revenue Service,
the Trustee shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise
distributable to the Holders of the Class R, the Class MR or the Class LR
Certificates, as the case may be, and shall distribute such retained amounts to
the Holders of Regular Certificates or to the Trustee in respect of the
Lower-Tier Regular Interests, as applicable, until they are fully reimbursed and
then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates, the Class MR or the Class LR
Certificates, as applicable. Neither the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer
nor the Trustee shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on the Upper-Tier
REMIC, Middle-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC except to the extent such tax is
attributable to a breach of a representation or warranty of the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer or the Trustee or an act or omission of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer 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 Section
4.04 or 8.01, in the case of 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 Trustee's breaches, acts or omissions, and
the Trustee shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.
SECTION 4.06. Remittances; P&I Advances.
(a) "Applicable Monthly Payment" shall mean, for any Mortgage Loan with
respect to any month, (A) if such Mortgage Loan has been extended (other than
pursuant to Section 3.27) in accordance with the terms and conditions otherwise
set forth in this Agreement, the lesser of (1) the Extended Monthly Payment and
(2) the Monthly Payment on the Mortgage Loan prior to such extensions, and (B)
if such Mortgage Loan is not described by the preceding clause (A) (including
any such Mortgage Loan as to which the related Mortgaged Property has become an
REO Property), the Monthly Payment; provided, however, that for purposes of
calculating the amount of any P&I Advance required to be made by the Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, notwithstanding the amount of such
Applicable Monthly Payment, interest shall be calculated at the Net Mortgage
Rate plus the Trustee Fee Rate; and provided further that for purposes of
determining the amount of any P&I Advance, the Monthly Payment shall be as
reduced pursuant to any modification of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section
3.27.
(b) On the Master Servicer Remittance Date immediately preceding each
Distribution Date, the Master Servicer (or the Trustee with respect to item (iv)
below) shall:
(i) remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution
Account an amount equal to the Prepayment Premiums received by
the Master Servicer in the Collection Period preceding such
Distribution Date;
(ii) remit to the Trustee for deposit in (A) the Lower-Tier
Distribution Account an amount equal to the Available Funds
(other than the amounts referred to in clauses (iii) and (iv)
below, and other than the AAPT Strip, the Class X-1A Strip and
the Class X-1B Strip), (B) the Class Q Distribution Account, an
amount equal to the AAPT Strip, (C) the Middle-Tier Distribution
Account, an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for
the Class MX-1B Interest, and (D) the Upper-Tier Distribution
Account, an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount for
the Class X-1A Certificates;
(iii) make a P&I Advance, by deposit into the Lower-Tier Distribution
Account, in an amount equal to the sum of the Applicable Monthly
Payments for each Mortgage Loan to the extent such amounts were
not received on such Mortgage Loan prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York
City time), on the Master Servicer Remittance Date (and
therefore are not included in the remittance described in the
preceding clause (ii));
(iv) if such Master Servicer Remittance Date occurs in March, remit
to the Trustee for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution
Account by withdrawal from the Interest Reserve Account an
amount equal to the amounts described in clause (iii) of the
definition of Available Funds.
(c) The Master Servicer shall not be required or permitted to make an
advance for Excess Interest, Default Interest, Prepayment Premiums or Balloon
Payments. 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.
(d) Any amount advanced by the Master Servicer (or to the extent provided
in Section 4.06(h), the Special Servicer) pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(iii) shall
constitute a P&I Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and the Master
Servicer (or Special Servicer, as applicable) shall be entitled to reimbursement
(with interest at the Advance Rate) thereof to the full extent as otherwise set
forth in this Agreement.
(e) 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(b)(iii),
the Trustee shall immediately notify the Fiscal Agent by telephone promptly
confirmed in writing, 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. If the Trustee fails to make
any P&I Advance required to be made under this Section 4.06, the Fiscal Agent
shall make such P&I Advance not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on
such Business Day and, thereby, the Trustee shall not be in default under this
Agreement.
(f) None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent shall be
obligated to make a P&I Advance as to any Monthly Payment or Extended 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, the Trustee or Fiscal Agent, as
applicable, determines that such advance will be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The
Master Servicer shall be required to provide notice to the Trustee and the
Fiscal Agent on or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date of any such
non-recoverability determination made on or prior to such date. The Trustee and
the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination
by the Master 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 that such
Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Trustee or Fiscal Agent, as
applicable, shall make such advance within the time periods required by Section
4.06(e) unless the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, in good faith, makes a
determination prior to the times specified in Section 4.06(e) that such advance
would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent, in
determining whether or not an Advance previously made is, or a proposed Advance,
if made, would be, a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be subject to the standards
applicable to the Master Servicer hereunder.
(g) The Master Servicer (or to the extent the Special Servicer is required
to make such Advances, the Special Servicer), the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent,
as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of P&I Advances it makes
to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06(ii) of this Agreement together
with any related Advance Interest Amount in respect of such P&I Advances to the
extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06(iii) and the Master Servicer and
Special Servicer hereby covenant and agree to promptly seek and effect the
reimbursement of such Advances from the related Borrowers to the extent
permitted by applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan.
(h) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, in the event that the
Master Servicer or any of its affiliates realizes on any of the collateral for
any of the Affiliate Loans and thereby becomes the direct or indirect owner of
the Borrower under the related Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer with respect
to the related Mortgage Loan (whether or not such Mortgage Loan is a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall thereafter make any required P&I Advances with
respect to the related Mortgage Loan and each provision set forth herein with
respect to such P&I Advances which relates to the Master Servicer shall be
deemed to relate to such Special Servicer, including, without limitation, the
obligations of the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent to make such Advances upon the
failure of the Special Servicer or Trustee, respectively, to make such Advance.
The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any failure of the Special Servicer
to make such Advance.
SECTION 4.07. Grantor Trust Reporting.
The parties intend that the portions of the Trust Fund consisting of (i)
the AAPT Strip, the Default Interest, proceeds therefrom and the Class Q
Distribution Account, (ii) Excess Interest, proceeds therefrom and the Excess
Interest Distribution Account and (iii) the Montehiedra Partner Loans, proceeds
therefrom, and the Class M Distribution Account shall constitute, and that the
affairs of the Trust Fund (exclusive of the Trust REMICs) shall be conducted so
as to qualify such portion as, a "grantor trust" under the Code, and the
provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In
furtherance of such intention, the Trustee shall furnish or cause to be
furnished to Certificateholders and shall file or cause to be filed with the
Internal Revenue Service together with Form 1041 or such other form as may be
applicable, (i) to the Holders of the Class Q Certificates, income with respect
to their allocable share of Default Interest and the amount of any interest paid
on unreimbursed Advances to the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal
Agent, as applicable, therefrom pursuant to Section 3.06(iii) and the AAPT Strip
at the time or times and in the manner required by the Code, (ii) to the Holders
of the Classes of Regular Certificates entitled thereto as set forth in Section
2.06(b), income with respect to their allocable share of Excess Interest at the
time or times and in the manner required by the Code, and (iii) to the Holders
of the Class M Certificates, income with respect to their allocable share of the
interest portion of any payments received on or with respect to the Montehiedra
Partner Loans and any other income with respect to the Montehiedra Partner
Loans, and the Servicing Fee or other expenses incurred by the Trust Fund with
respect to the Class M Certificates, at the time or times and in the manner
required by the Code.

The Global Certificates shall be issued as one or more certificates
registered in the name of a nominee designated by the Depository, and Beneficial
Owners shall hold interests in the Global Certificates through the book-entry
facilities of the Depository in the minimum Denominations and aggregate
Denominations and Classes as set forth above. The Global Certificates shall in
all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as Individual
Certificates authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Except insofar as pertains to any Individual Certificate, the Trust Fund,
the Paying Agent and the Trustee may for all purposes (including the making of
payments due on the Global Certificates and the giving of notice to Holders
thereof) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the
Beneficial Owners with respect to the Global Certificates for the purposes of
exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder; provided, however, that,
for purposes of providing information pursuant to Section 3.20 or transmitting
communications pursuant to Section 5.05(a), to the extent that the Seller has
provided the Trustee with the names of Beneficial Owners, the Trustee shall
provide such information to such Beneficial Owners directly. The rights of
Beneficial Owners with respect to Global Certificates shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the
Depository and Depository Participants. Except in the limited circumstances
described below, Beneficial Owners of Public Global Certificates shall not be
entitled to physical certificates for the Public Global Certificates as to which
they are the Beneficial Owners. Requests and directions from, and votes of, the
Depository as Holder of the Global Certificates shall not be deemed inconsistent
if they are made with respect to different Beneficial Owners. Subject to the
restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 5.02 and Applicable Procedures, a
Beneficial Owner of a Private Global Certificate may request that the Seller, or
an agent thereof, cause the Depository (or any Agent Member) to notify the
Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Custodian in writing of a request for
transfer or exchange of such beneficial interest for an Individual Certificate
or Certificates. Upon receipt of such a request and payment by the related
Beneficial Owner of any attendant expenses, the Seller shall cause the issuance
and delivery of such Individual Certificates. The Certificate Registrar may
establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents
from or voting by Certificateholders and give notice to the Depository of such
record date. Without the written consent of the Seller and the Certificate
Registrar, no Global Certificate may be transferred by the Depository except to
a successor Depository that agrees to hold the Global Certificates for the
account of the Beneficial Owners.
Any of the Certificates may be issued with appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and variations, and may have imprinted or otherwise
reproduced thereon such legend or legends, not inconsistent with the provisions
of this Agreement, as may be required to comply with any law or with rules or
regulations pursuant thereto, or with the rules of any securities market in
which the Certificates are admitted to trading, or to conform to general usage.
The Global Certificates (i) shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar to
the Depository or, pursuant to the Depository's instructions on behalf of the
Depository to, and deposited with, the Certificate Custodian, and in either case
shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. and (ii) shall bear a legend
substantially to the following effect:
"Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of
The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to the Certificate
Registrar for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate
issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is
requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to
Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein."
The Global Certificates may be deposited with such other Depository as the
Certificate Registrar may from time to time designate, and shall bear such
legend as may be appropriate.
If (i) the Depository advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is
no longer willing, qualified or able properly to discharge its responsibilities
as Depository, and the Seller is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii)
the Seller or the Trustee, at its sole option, elects to terminate the
book-entry system through the Depository with respect to all or any portion of
any Class of Certificates or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Beneficial Owners owning not less than a majority in Certificate Principal
Amount or Notional Amount, as applicable, of the Global Certificate for any
Class then outstanding advise the Depository through Depository Participants in
writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is
no longer in the best interest of the Beneficial Owner or Owners of such Global
Certificate, the Trustee shall notify the affected Beneficial Owners through the
Depository of the occurrence of such event and the availability of Individual
Certificates to such Beneficial Owner or Owners requesting them. Upon surrender
to the Trustee of Global Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by
registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the
Trustee shall issue the Individual Certificates. Neither the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer nor
the Seller shall be liable for any actions taken by the Depository or its
nominee, including, without limitation, any delay in delivery of such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Individual Certificates, the Trustee, the
Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, and the Seller shall recognize the Holders of Individual Certificates
as Certificateholders hereunder.
If the Trustee, its agents or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer has
instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding in a court
to enforce the rights of the Certificateholders under the Certificates, and the
Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has been advised by counsel
that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the
Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to obtain possession of the
Certificates, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may in
its sole discretion determine that the Certificates represented by the Global
Certificates shall no longer be represented by such Global Certificates. In such
event, the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent will execute and authenticate and
the Certificate Registrar will deliver, in exchange for such Global
Certificates, Individual Certificates (and if the Trustee or the Certificate
Custodian has in its possession Individual Certificates previously executed, the
Authenticating Agent will authenticate and the Certificate Registrar will
deliver such Certificates) in a Denomination equal to the aggregate Denomination
of such Global Certificates.
If the Trust Fund ceases to be subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, the Trustee shall make available to each Holder of a Class H,
Class M, Class X-1B, Class Q, Class R, Class MR or Class LR Certificate, upon
request of such a Holder, information substantially equivalent in scope to the
information currently filed by the Master Servicer and/or the Trustee with the
Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, plus such additional information
required to be provided for securities qualifying for resales under Rule 144A
under the Act which information shall be provided on a timely basis to the
Trustee by the Master Servicer.
Each Certificate may be printed or in typewritten or similar form, and each
Certificate shall, upon original issue, be executed and authenticated by the
Trustee or the Authenticating Agent and delivered to the Seller. All
Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the
Trustee or Authenticating Agent by an authorized officer or signatory.
Certificates bearing the signature of an individual who was at any time the
proper officer or signatory of the Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall bind
the Trustee or Authenticating Agent, notwithstanding that such individual has
ceased to hold such office or position prior to the delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such office or position at the date of such
Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate
a certificate of authentication in the form set forth in Exhibits A-1 through
A-20 executed by the Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such
certificate of authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their
authentication.
SECTION 5.02. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust
Office books (the "Certificate Register") for the registration, transfer and
exchange of Certificates (the Trustee, in such capacity, being the "Certificate
Registrar"). The names and addresses of all Certificateholders and the names and
addresses of the transferees of any Certificates shall be registered in the
Certificate Register; provided, however, in no event shall the Certificate
Registrar be required to maintain in the Certificate Register the names of the
individual participants holding beneficial interests in the Trust Fund through
the Depository. The Person in whose name any Certificate is so registered shall
be deemed and treated as the sole owner and Holder thereof for all purposes of
this Agreement and the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer, the Trustee,
any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them shall not be affected by any
notice or knowledge to the contrary. An Individual Certificate is transferable
or exchangeable only upon the surrender of such Certificate to the Certificate
Registrar at the Corporate Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer
(executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney), subject to the
applicable requirements of this Section 5.02. Upon request of the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar shall provide the Trustee with the names, addresses and
Percentage Interests of the Holders.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Individual
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of this Section 5.02, the
Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly authenticate in
the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination as the Individual
Certificate being surrendered. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the
Certificate Registrar in accordance with Section 5.02(e). Each Certificate
surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled and subsequently
destroyed by the Certificate Registrar. Each new Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section 5.02 shall be registered in the name of any Person as the
transferring Holder may request, subject to the applicable provisions of this
Section 5.02.
(c) In addition to the applicable provisions of this Section 5.02 and the
rules of the Depository, the exchange, transfer and registration of transfer of
Individual Certificates or beneficial interests in the Private Global
Certificates shall be subject to the following restrictions.
(i) Transfers between Holders of Individual Certificates. With
respect to the transfer and registration of transfer of an
Individual Certificate representing an interest in the Class H,
Class Q, Class M, Class R, Class MR or Class LR Certificates to
a transferee that takes delivery in the form of an Individual
Certificate:
(A) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of
an Individual Certificate if the requested transfer is
being made by a transferee who has provided the
Certificate Registrar with an Investment Representation
Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto
(an "Investment Representation Letter"), to the effect
that the transfer is being made to a Qualified
Institutional Buyer in accordance with Rule 144A; and
(B) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of
an Individual Certificate (other than a Residual
Certificate) if prior to the transfer (1) two years have
expired since the Closing Date, or (2) such transferee
furnishes to the Certificate Registrar (a) an Investment
Representation Letter to the effect that the traosfer is
being made to an Institutional Accredited Investor in
accordance with an applicable exemption under the Act,
(b) an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Certificate
Registrar that such transfer is in compliance with the
Act and (c) the Certificate Registrar shall register the
transfer of an Individual Certificate only if prior to
the transfer the transferee furnishes to the Certificate
Registrar a written undertaking by the transferor to
reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in
connection with the proposed transfer.;
(ii) [RESERVED]
(iii) Transfers from the Private Global Certificates to Individual
Certificates. Any and all transfers from a Private Global
Certificate to a transferee wishing to take delivery in the form
of an Individual Certificate will require the transferee to take
delivery subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such
Individual Certificate described on the face of such
Certificate, and such transferee agrees that it will transfer
such Individual Certificate only as provided therein and herein.
No such transfer shall be made and the Certificate Registrar
shall not register any such transfer unless such transfer is
made in accordance with this Section 5.02(c)(iii).
(A) Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Private Global
Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor will
require delivery in the form of an Individual
Certificate and the Certificate Registrar shall register
such transfer only upon compliance with the provisions
of Section 5.02(c)(i)(B).
(B) Transfers of a beneficial interest in a Private Global
Certificate to a Qualified Institutional Buyer wishing
to take delivery in the form of an Individual
Certificate will be registered by the Certificate
Registrar only upon compliance with the provisions of
Sections 5.02(c)(i)(A).
(C) Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial
interest in a Private Global Certificate for an
Individual Certificate, as provided herein, the
Certificate Registrar shall endorse on the schedule
affixed to the related Private Global Certificate (or on
a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Private
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 Private Global Certificate equal to the
Denomination of such Individual Certificate issued in
exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof. Unless
determined otherwise by the Certificate Registrar in
accordance with applicable law, an Individual
Certificate issued upon transfer of or exchange for a
beneficial interest in the Private Global Certificate
shall bear the Securities Legend.
(iv) Transfers of Individual Certificates to the Private Global
Certificates. If a Holder of an Individual Certificate wishes at
any time to transfer such Certificate to a Person who wishes to
take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in
the related Private Global Certificate, such transfer may be
effected only in accordance with all applicable rules and
procedures of the Depository applicable to transfers by their
respective participants (the "Applicable Procedures"), and this
Section 5.02(c)(iv). Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar
at the Corporate Trust Office of (1) the Individual Certificate
to be transferred with an assignment and transfer pursuant to
Section 5.02(a), (2) written instructions given in accordance
with the Applicable Procedures from an Agent Member directing
the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to
another specified Agent Member's account a beneficial interest
in such Private Global Certificate, as the case may be, in an
amount equal to the Denomination of the Individual Certificate
to be so transferred, (3) a written order given in accordance
with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding
the account of the Agent Member to be credited with such
beneficial interest, and (4) an Investment Representation Letter
from the transferee to the effect that such transferee is a
Qualified Institutional Buyer, the Certificate Registrar shall
cancel such Individual Certificate, execute and deliver a new
Individual Certificate for the Denomination of the Individual
Certificate not so transferred, registered in the name of the
Holder, and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the
Depository or the Certificate Custodian, as applicable, to
increase the Denomination of the Private Global Certificate, as
the case may be, by the Denomination of the Individual
Certificate to be so transferred, and to credit or cause to be
credited to the account of the Person specified in such
instructions a corresponding Denomination of the Private Global
Certificate.
It is the intent of the foregoing that under no circumstances
may an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified
Institutional Buyer take delivery in the form of a beneficial
interest in a Private Global Certificate.
(v) All Transfers. An exchange of a beneficial interest in a Private
Global Certificate for an Individual Certificate or
Certificates, an exchange of an Individual Certificate or
Certificates for a beneficial interest in the Private Global
Certificate and an exchange of an Individual Certificate or
Certificates for another Individual Certificate or Certificates
(in each case, whether or not such exchange is made in
anticipation of subsequent transfer, and in the case of the
Private Global Certificates, so long as the Private Global
Certificates remain outstanding and are held by or on behalf of
the Depository), may be made only in accordance with this
Section 5.02 and in accordance with the rules of the Depository
and Applicable Procedures.
(d) If Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement
of Certificates not bearing the Securities Legend, the Certificates so issued
shall not bear the Securities Legend. If Certificates are issued upon the
transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates bearing the Securities Legend,
or if a request is made to remove the Securities Legend on a Certificate, the
Certificates so issued shall bear the Securities Legend, or the Securities
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 (at the expense of the party requesting the removal of such
legend) familiar with United States securities laws, as may be reasonably
required by the Certificate Registrar, that neither the Securities Legend nor
the restrictions on transfers set forth therein are required to ensure that
transfers of any Certificate comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Rule 144
under the Act or that such Certificate is not a "restricted security" within the
meaning of Rule 144 under the Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence,
the Certificate Registrar shall execute and deliver a Certificate that does not
bear the Securities Legend.
(e) Subject to the restrictions on transfer and exchange set forth in this
Section 5.02, the Holder of any Individual Certificate may transfer or exchange
the same in whole or in part (with a Denomination equal to any authorized
Denomination) by surrendering such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or
at the office of any transfer agent appointed as provided under this Agreement,
together with an instrument of assignment or transfer (executed by the Holder or
its duly authorized attorney), in the case of transfer, and a written request
for exchange in the case of exchange. Following a proper request for transfer or
exchange, the Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days of such
request if made at such Corporate Trust Office, or within ten Business Days if
made at the office of a transfer agent (other than the Certificate Registrar),
execute and deliver at the Corporate Trust Office or at the office of such
transfer agent, as the case may be, to the transferee (in the case of transfer)
or Holder (in the case of exchange) or send by first class mail (at the risk of
the transferee in the case of transfer or Holder in the case of exchange) to
such address as the transferee or Holder, as applicable, may request, an
Individual Certificate or Certificates, as the case may require, for a like
aggregate Denomination and in such Denomination or Denominations as may be
requested. The presentation for transfer or exchange of any Individual
Certificate shall not be valid unless made at the Corporate Trust Office or at
the office of a transfer agent by the registered Holder in person, or by a duly
authorized attorney-in-fact. The Certificate Registrar may decline to accept any
request for an exchange or registration of transfer of any Certificate during
the period of fifteen days preceding any Distribution Date.
(f) An Individual Certificate (other than an Individual Certificate issued
in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Public Global Certificate pursuant
Section 5.01) or a beneficial interest in a Private Global Certificate may only
be transferred to Eligible Investors in accordance with the provisions set forth
herein. In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar
becomes aware that such an Individual Certificate or beneficial interest in a
Private Global Certificate is being held by or for the benefit of a Person who
is not an Eligible Investor, or that such holding is unlawful under the laws of
a relevant jurisdiction, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right to
void such transfer, if permitted under applicable law, or to require the
investor to sell such Individual Certificate or beneficial interest in a Private
Global Certificate to an Eligible Investor within fourteen days after notice of
such determination and each Certificateholder by its acceptance of a Certificate
authorizes the Certificate Registrar to take such action.
(g) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.02 regarding transfer and
exchange, transfers of the Global Certificates shall be limited to transfers of
such Global Certificates in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the
Depository or to a successor of the Depository or such successor's nominee.
(h) No fee or service charge shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar
for its services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred
to in this Section 5.02 other than for transfers to Institutional Accredited
Investors, as provided herein. In connection with any transfer to an
Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the Trust Fund
for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's counsel's
review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the transferor or
transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein) incurred by the
Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The Certificate
Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection with any
such transfer.
(i) The Certificate Registrar may as a condition of the registration of any
transfer of the Class H, Class Q, Class M, Class R, Class MR and Class LR
Certificates require the transferor to furnish other certifications, legal
opinions or other information (at the transferor's expense) as it may reasonably
require to confirm that the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an
exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration
requirements of the Act and other applicable laws.
(j) Neither the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor the
Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify the Class H, Class Q,
Class M, Class R, Class MR or Class LR Certificates under the Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement
to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. Any such Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer
shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar against any loss, liability or expense
that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.
(k) No transfer of any Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class
G, Class H, Class Q, Class M, Class R, Class MR or Class LR Certificate (each, a
"Restricted Certificate") shall be made to (i) an employee benefit plan or other
retirement arrangement, including an individual retirement account or a Keogh
plan, which is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a
governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) that is subject to any
federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") which is, to a material extent,
similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a "Plan") or
(ii) a collective investment fund in which such Plans are invested, an insurance
company that is using assets of separate accounts or general accounts which
include assets of Plans (or which are deemed pursuant to ERISA or Similar Law to
include assets of Plans) or other Person acting on behalf of any such Plan or
using the assets of any such Plan to acquire any such Restricted Certificate,
other than (with respect to any transfer of a Restricted Certificate that is a
Subordinated Certificate) an insurance company investing the assets of its
general account under circumstances whereby the purchase and holding of such
Restricted Certificate by such insurance company would be exempt from the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code under
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60. Each prospective transferee of a
Restricted Certificate that takes the form of an Individual Certificate shall
either (1) deliver to the Seller, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee a
representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto, stating
that the prospective transferee is not a Person referred to in (i) or (ii) above
or (2) in the event the transferee is such a Person, except in the case of a
Residual Certificate, which may not be transferred unless the transferee
represents it is not such a Person, the prospective transferee shall provide to
the Seller, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar an opinion of counsel
which establishes to the satisfaction of the Seller, the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar that the purchase or holding of the Restricted
Certificates by or on behalf of a Plan will not result in the assets of the
Trust Fund being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to Title I of ERISA,
Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law, will not constitute or result in a
prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code,
or a materially similar characterization under any Similar Law, and will not
subject the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar to any obligation or liability (including obligations
or liabilities under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law) in
addition to those set forth in this Agreement, which opinion of counsel shall
not be an expense of the Trustee, the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Certificate Registrar or the Seller. The Certificate
Registrar shall not register the transfer of an Individual Certificate that is a
Restricted Certificate unless the transferee has provided the representation
letter or opinion of counsel referred to in the preceding sentence. The
transferee of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate that is a Restricted
Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not a Person or entity
referred to in (i) or (ii) above. Any transfer of a Restricted Certificate that
would result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code, or a materially similar characterization under any Similar Law, shall be
deemed absolutely null and void ab initio.
(l) Each Person who has or acquires any Ownership Interest shall be deemed
by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be
bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring any
Ownership Interest are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person acquiring or holding any Ownership Interest shall be
a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such
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 Ownership
Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition described
in the first sentence of this Section 5.02(l) 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 and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who
was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and
beneficial ownership of the Ownership Interest as fully as
possible.
(ii) No Ownership Interest may be Transferred, and no such Transfer
shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the
express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the
Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the Transfer, and such
proposed Transfer shall not be effective, without such consent
with respect thereto. In connection with any proposed Transfer
of any Ownership Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a
condition to such consent, (x) require delivery to it in form
and substance satisfactory to it, and the proposed transferee
shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed
transferor an affidavit in substantially the form attached as
Exhibit C-1 (a "Transferee Affidavit") of the proposed
transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted
Transferee and (B) stating that (i) the proposed transferee
historically has paid its debts as they have come due and
intends to do so in the future, (ii) the proposed transferee
understands that, as the holder of an Ownership Interest, it may
incur liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the
residual interest, (iii) the proposed transferee intends to pay
taxes associated with holding the Ownership Interest as they
become due, (iv) the proposed transferee will not transfer the
Ownership Interest to any Person that does not provide a
Transferee Affidavit or as to which the proposed transferee has
actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee
or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other
middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, and
(v) the proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and
to abide by the provisions of this Section 5.02(e) and (y) other
than in connection with the initial issuance of the Class R,
Class MR and Class LR Certificates, require a statement from the
proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit C-2 (the "Transferor Letter"), that the proposed
transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee
is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or
reason to know that the proposed transferee's statements in the
preceding clauses (x)(B)(i) or (iii) are false.
(iii) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a
proposed transferee under clause (ii) above, if a Responsible
Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that
the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no
Transfer to such proposed transferee shall be effected and such
proposed Transfer shall not be registered on the Certificate
Register; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar
shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation
to determine whether a proposed transferee is a Permitted
Transferee. Upon notice to the Certificate Registrar that there
has occurred a Transfer to any Person that is a Disqualified
Organization or an agent thereof (including a broker, nominee,
or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions,
and in any event not later than 60 days after a request for
information from the transferor of such Ownership Interest, or
such agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee agree to
furnish to the IRS and the transferor of such Ownership Interest
or such agent such information necessary to the application of
Section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required by the Code,
including, but not limited to, the present value of the total
anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class R,
Class MR or Class LR Certificate (or portion thereof) for
periods after such Transfer. At the election of the Certificate
Registrar and the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and the
Trustee may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing
such information to the transferor or to such agent referred to
above; provided, however, that such Persons shall in no event be
excused from furnishing such information.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered
to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it
to save it, the Trustee and the Master Servicer harmless, then, in the absence
of actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar that
such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent shall execute and authenticate and the Certificate
Registrar shall deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and
of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate
under this Section 5.03, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership of the corresponding interest in the Trust Fund, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.04. Appointment of Paying Agent.
The Trustee may appoint a paying agent for the purpose of making
distributions to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01. The Trustee shall
cause such Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee or the Master Servicer, to
execute and deliver to the Master Servicer and the Trustee an instrument in
which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Master Servicer and the Trustee
that such Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to
Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled
thereto until such sums have been paid to the Certificateholders or disposed of
as otherwise provided herein. The initial Paying Agent shall be the Trustee.
Except for LaSalle National Bank, as the initial Paying Agent, the Paying Agent
shall at all times be an entity having a long-term unsecured debt rating of at
least "A" by Fitch and DCR and "AA2" by Moody's, or shall be otherwise
acceptable to each Rating Agency.
SECTION 5.05. Access to Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.
(a) If any Certificateholder (for purposes of this Section 5.05, an
"Applicant") applies in writing to the Certificate Registrar, and such
application states that the Applicant desires to communicate with other
Certificateholders, the Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be
furnished to such Applicant a list of the names and addresses of the
Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date, at the expense of the
Applicant.
(b) Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding its Certificate,
agrees with the Trustee that the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall not
be held accountable in any way by reason of the disclosure of any information as
to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of
the source from which such information was derived.
SECTION 5.06. Actions of Certificateholders.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by
Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments
of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person or by
agent duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments
are delivered to the Trustee and, when required, to the Seller or the Master
Servicer. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing
any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and
conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Seller and the Master Servicer, if made
in the manner provided in this Section.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Certificateholder of any such
instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the Trustee
deems sufficient.
(c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other act by a Certificateholder shall bind every Holder of every Certificate
issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in
lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, or omitted to be done, by the
Trustee, the Seller or the Master Servicer in reliance thereon, whether or not
notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.
(d) The Trustee or Certificate Registrar may require such additional proof
of any matter referred to in this Section 5.06 as it shall deem necessary.
SECTION 5.07. Authenticating Agent.
The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent to execute and to
authenticate Certificates. The Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the
Seller and must be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of
the United States of America or any state, having a principal office and place
of business in a state and city acceptable to the Seller, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a
trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authorities. The Trustee shall serve as the initial Authenticating Agent and the
Trustee hereby accepts such appointment.
Any corporation into which the Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Authenticating Agent
shall be party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business
of the Authenticating Agent, shall be the Authenticating Agent without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee
or the Authenticating Agent.
The Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days'
advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Seller. The Trustee
may at any time terminate the agency of the Authenticating Agent by giving
written notice of termination to the Authenticating Agent and the Seller. Upon
receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any
time the Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 5.07, the Trustee promptly shall appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent, which shall be acceptable to the Seller, and shall mail
notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. Any successor
Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating
Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless
eligible under the provisions of this Section 5.07.
The Authenticating Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any
action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Any compensation
paid to the Authenticating Agent shall be an unreimbursable expense of the
Trustee.
SECTION 5.08. Appointment of Custodians.
The Trustee may appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of
the Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial
Agreement. The Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial
Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian
for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each Custodian shall be a depository
institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000, shall have a long-term
debt rating of at least "BBB" from Fitch and DCR and "Baa2" from Moody's, unless
the Trustee shall have received prior written confirmation from each Rating
Agency that the appointment of such Custodian would not cause such Rating Agency
to withdraw, qualify or downgrade any of its then-current ratings on the
Certificates, and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which
it holds any Mortgage File. Each Custodial Agreement may be amended only as
provided in Section 10.07. Any compensation paid to the Custodian shall be an
unreimbursable expense of the Trustee. The Trustee shall serve as the initial
Custodian. The Custodian, if the Custodian is not the Trustee, shall maintain a
fidelity bond in the form and amount that are customary for securitizations
similar to the securitization evidenced by this Agreement, with the Trustee
named as loss payee. The Custodian 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 Custodian. In addition, the Custodian shall 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 hereunder in the form and amount that are
customary for securitizations similar to the securitization evidenced by this
Agreement, with the Trustee named as loss payee. All fidelity bonds and policies
of errors and omissions insurance obtained under this Section 5.08 shall be
issued by a Qualified Insurer, or by any other insurer, that, as confirmed by
each Rating Agency in writing to the Trustee, would not in and of itself result
in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of any of the ratings assigned to
any Class of Certificates.

THE SELLER, THE MASTER SERVICER AND THE SPECIAL SERVICER
SECTION 6.01. Liability of the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer.
The Seller, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall be
liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically
imposed by this Agreement. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
shall indemnify the Seller, and any employee, director or officer of the Seller,
and the Trust Fund and hold the Seller and any employee, director or officer of
the Seller, and the Trust Fund harmless against any loss, liability or expense
incurred by such parties (i) in connection with any willful misconduct, bad
faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of duties of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or by reason of negligent disregard
of the Master Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as the case may be, obligations
or duties hereunder, or (ii) as a result of the breach by the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be, of any of its representations or
warranties contained herein.
SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Master Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Master Servicer will keep in full
effect its existence, rights and good standing as a corporation under the laws
of the State of California and will not jeopardize its ability to do business in
each jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Properties are located or to protect
the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of
the Mortgage Loans or the Montehiedra Partner Loans and to perform its
respective duties under this Agreement.
The Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person,
or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in which case
any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which it shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to its business, shall be the successor of the
Master Servicer hereunder, and shall be deemed to have assumed all of the
liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder, if each of the Rating Agencies has
confirmed in writing that such merger or consolidation or transfer of assets and
succession, in and of itself, will not cause a downgrade, qualification or
withdrawal of the then current ratings assigned by such Rating Agency to any
Class of Certificates.
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Seller, the Master Servicer
and Others.
Subject to Section 6.01, neither the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the
Seller or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be under any
liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or
for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Seller or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or
any such Person against liability which would be imposed by reason of (i) any
breach of warranty or representation, or other specific liability provided
herein, with respect to such respective party or (ii) any willful misconduct,
bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of
reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder with respect to such
respective party. The Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Seller, the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima
facie, is properly executed and submitted by any appropriate Person respecting
any matters arising hereunder. The Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Seller or the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless
by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection
with, or relating to, this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss,
liability or expense (including legal fees and expenses) (i) incurred by reason
of willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of
duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties
hereunder, in each case by the Person being indemnified; (ii) imposed by any
taxing authority if such loss, liability or expense is not specifically
reimbursable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (iii) with respect to
any such party, resulting from the breach by such party of any of its
representations or warranties contained herein. Neither the Seller nor the
Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer 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; provided, however, that the Seller or the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer 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. In such event, the legal
expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be
expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Seller, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor
from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06 of this Agreement.
SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer.
(a) Each of the Master Servicer and each Special Servicer may assign its
respective rights and delegate its respective duties and obligations under this
Agreement in connection with the sale or transfer of a substantial portion of
its mortgage servicing or asset management portfolio, provided that: (i) the
purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and delegation (A) shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee and to the Seller, (B) shall be an established
mortgage finance institution, bank or mortgage servicing institution, organized
and doing business under the laws of any state of the United States or the
District of Columbia, 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, and (C) shall execute and
deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, 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 or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be, under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement;
(ii) as confirmed by a letter from each Rating Agency delivered to the Trustee,
each Rating Agency's rating or ratings of the Regular Certificates and the Class
M Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment, sale, transfer or
delegation will not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn as a result of such
assignment, sale, transfer or delegation; (iii) the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer 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; and (iv) the rate at which the Servicing Fee or Special
Servicing Compensation, as applicable (or any component thereof) is calculated
shall not exceed the rate then in effect. Upon acceptance of such assignment and
delegation, the purchaser or transferee shall be the successor Master Servicer
or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder.
(b) Except as provided in this Section 6.04, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer 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. Any such determination permitting
the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable,
shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the resigning Master
Servicer's or Special Servicer's expense) to such effect delivered to the
Trustee.
No resignation or removal of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as
contemplated herein shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor
Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's or
the Special Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations
hereunder. If no successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer can be obtained
to perform such obligations for the same compensation to which the terminated
Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been entitled, additional amounts
payable to such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall be treated
as Realized Losses.
SECTION 6.05. Rights of the Seller and the Trustee in Respect of the Master
Servicer and Special Servicer.
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford the Seller, the
Trustee and the Rating Agencies, 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. Upon request, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall
furnish to the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee
its most recent annual financial statements (or, with respect to AMRESCO
Management Inc., the financial statements of AMRESCO, INC.) and such other
information in its possession regarding its business, affairs, property and
condition, financial or otherwise as the party requesting such information, in
its reasonable judgment, determines to be relevant to the performance of the
obligations hereunder of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. The
Seller 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 Seller or its
designee. In the event the Seller 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(a) hereof to the extent not recoverable from the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. Neither the Seller nor the
Trustee and neither the Master Servicer, with respect to the Special Servicer,
nor 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 be under any
obligation to disclose confidential or proprietary information pursuant to this
Section.
SECTION 6.06. Master Servicer or 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 to such action by
delivering to the Trustee 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 Trustee, 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 Trustee 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) 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 Trustee shall be entitled
to reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, of the reasonable expenses of the Trustee 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer may become a Holder or Beneficial Owner of any Class M Certificate.

the Master Servicer (including a P&I Advance) pursuant to, and
at the time specified by the terms of this Agreement, which
failure is not remedied by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on
the related Distribution Date (provided, however, that the
Master Servicer will pay the Trustee interest on such late
payment at the prime rate until such late payment is received by
the Trustee; or
(ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe
or perform in any material respect any of its other covenants or
agreements, or the material breach of its representations or
warranties on the part of the Master Servicer contained in this
Agreement, which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days
after the date on which written notice of such failure or
breach, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given
to the Master Servicer by the Seller or the Trustee, or to the
Master Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee by the Holders of
Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests of at least 25% of
any Class affected thereby; provided that if such default is not
capable of being cured within such 30 day period and the Master
Servicer is diligently pursuing such cure, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to an additional 30 day period; provided
further that the failure of the Master Servicer to perform any
covenant or agreement contained herein (other than as provided
in clause (i) above) as a result of an inconsistency between
this Agreement and any Loan Document shall not be a Master
Servicer Event of Default hereunder; or
(iii) confirmation in writing by any Rating Agency that not
terminating the Master Servicer would, in and of itself, cause
the then-current rating assigned to any Class of Certificates to
be qualified, withdrawn, or downgraded; or
(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 Master Servicer and such decree or order
shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a
period of 60 days; or
(v) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer, or of
or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(vi) the Master Servicer 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; or
(vii) the Master Servicer shall fail to make any Property Advance
required to be made by the Master Servicer hereunder (whether or
not the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent makes such Property
Advance), which failure continues unremedied for a period of
fifteen (15) days after the date on which such Advance was first
due (or for any shorter period as may be required, if
applicable, to avoid any lapse in insurance coverage required
under any Mortgage or this Agreement with respect to any
Mortgaged Property or to avoid any foreclosure or similar action
with respect to any Mortgaged Property by reason of a failure to
pay real estate taxes and assessments); provided, however, that
in the event the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent makes a required
Property Advance pursuant to Section 3.22(b) due to the Master
Servicer's failure to make a required Property Advance, such
Event of Default shall occur immediately upon the making of such
Property Advance by the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Master Servicer Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written
direction of the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all
Certificates shall, terminate the Master Servicer.
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) "Special Servicer Event of Default", wherever used herein, means any
one of the following events:
(i) any failure by the Special Servicer to remit to the Collection
Account any amount required to be so deposited by the Special
Servicer pursuant to, and at the time specified, and in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement or to make any P&I
Advance pursuant to and at the time specified by the terms of
this Agreement; or
(ii) any failure on the part of the Special Servicer duly to observe
or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or
agreements, or the material breach of any representations or
warranties on the part of the Special Servicer contained in this
Agreement, which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days
after the date on which written notice of such failure or
breach, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given
to the Special Servicer by the Master Servicer, the Seller, the
Trustee or by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage
Interests of at least 25% of any Class affected thereby; or
(iii) confirmation in writing by any Rating Agency that failure to
remove the Special Servicer would, in and of itself, cause a
downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current
ratings assigned to any Class of Certificates; or
(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 Special Servicer and such decree or order
shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a
period of 60 days; or
(v) the Special Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings of or relating to the Special Servicer, or
of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(vi) the Special Servicer 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;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Special Servicer Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written
direction of the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all
Certificates shall, terminate the Special Servicer.
Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, in the event the Special Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan has
acquired a direct or indirect ownership interest in any Affiliate Loan related
to such Mortgage Loan, such Special Servicer shall be terminated in the manner
set forth in this Section 7.01.
(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 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 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 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 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 with all
documents and records requested by the Trustee to enable the Trustee to assume
its functions hereunder, and to cooperate with the Trustee and the successor to
its responsibilities hereunder in effecting the termination 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 REO Account or Lock-Box Account
shall thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage 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 costs and expenses of the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer or
successor Special Servicer incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage
Files to the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer and amending this
Agreement to reflect 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
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.
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
monies 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 and 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 hereunder nor shall the Trustee be required to
purchase any Mortgage 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 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, the Special Servicer and the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent 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 or the Fiscal Agent (and
the accrued and unpaid interest thereon), until such Advances and interest shall
have been repaid in full. Notwithstanding the above, 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 neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal
Agent is rated by each Rating Agency in one of its two highest long-term debt
rating categories or if the Rating Agencies do not provide written confirmation
that the succession of the Trustee, as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as
applicable, will not cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then
current ratings assigned to the Certificates, promptly appoint, or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan
servicing institution the appointment of which will not result in a downgrade,
qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings assigned to
any Class of Certificates as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency, 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 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. The Seller, 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.
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 Trustee shall give
prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall
transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates and to each Rating Agency notice
of such Event of Default, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or
waived.
SECTION 7.04. Other Remedies of Trustee.
During the continuance of any Master Servicer Event of Default or a Special
Servicer Event of Default when the Master Servicer is also serving as Special
Servicer, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default or Special Servicer
Event of Default, if applicable, 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 (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 Trust Fund, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06.
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 Master Servicer Event of Default or
Special Servicer Event of Default, if applicable.
SECTION 7.05. Waiver of Past Events of Default; Termination.
The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the
aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates may, on behalf of all Holders of
Certificates, waive any default by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in
the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a
default in making any required deposits (including P&I Advances) to or payments
from the Collection 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 Event of Default 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 Trustee in connection with such default and prior to such waiver
shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, promptly upon demand therefor and if not reimbursed to the Trustee
within 90 days of such demand, from the Trust Fund; provided, that the Trust
Fund shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable, to the extent such amounts are reimbursed to the Trustee from the
Trust Fund.

ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge and after the curing or
waiver of all Events of Default 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 an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
has actual knowledge, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.02
and 7.04, shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.
(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of any resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee 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, the Trustee shall not 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 any such instrument is found not to conform on its face to the
requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall request a
corrected instrument, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee's
reasonable satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the
Certificateholders.
(c) Neither the Trustee nor any of its 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, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to
relieve the Trustee, 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 an Event of Default of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, and
after the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which
may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee
shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement, the Trustee shall not 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 and, in
the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee
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
that conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement
without responsibility for investigating the contents thereof;
(ii) The Trustee shall not 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
was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) The Trustee shall not 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 exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Trustee, under this Agreement;
(iv) Neither the Trustee nor any of its 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 an Affiliate of the
Trustee and that is selected other than by the Trustee,
performed or omitted in compliance with any custodial or other
agreement, or any act or omission of the Master Servicer,
Special Servicer, the Seller or any other third Person,
including, without limitation, in connection with actions taken
pursuant to this Agreement;
(v) The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to
its respective duties as Trustee in accordance with this
Agreement (and, if it does, all legal expenses and costs of such
action shall be expenses and costs of the Trust Fund), and the
Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the
Collection Account, unless such legal action arises out of the
negligence or bad faith of the Trustee or any breach of an
obligation, representation, warranty or covenant of the Trustee
contained herein; and
(vi) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any act,
failure to act or breach of any Person upon the occurrence of
which the Trustee may be required to act, unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure.
The Trustee shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of the
Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's failure to provide
scheduled reports, certificates and statements when and as
required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement.
None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require either the
Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, or the Fiscal Agent, to expend or risk its
own funds, or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if in
the opinion of the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, respectively, the repayment of
such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement
shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the
manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer under this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the
Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers
and privileges of, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall
be required to post any surety or bond of any kind in connection with its
performance of its obligations under this Agreement and neither the Trustee nor
the Fiscal Agent shall be liable for any loss on any investment of funds
pursuant to this Agreement (other than any funds invested with it in its
commercial capacity).
SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee may request and/or rely upon and shall be protected
in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
Officers' Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, appraisal,
(ii) and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with
such Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) (A) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto
at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to
the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
thereby; (B) the right of the Trustee to perform any
discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for
other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the
performance of any such act; and (C) provided, that subject to
the foregoing clause (A), nothing contained herein shall relieve
the Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default (which has not been cured or waived) of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, to
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs;
(iv) Neither the Trustee nor any of its directors, officers,
employees, Affiliates, agents or "control" persons within the
meaning of the Act shall be personally liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably
believed by the Trustee to be authorized or within the
discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this
Agreement;
(v) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document,
unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% (or such other percentage as is
specified herein) of the Percentage Interests of any affected
Class; provided, however, that if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or
liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably
assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the
terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable
indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to
taking any such action. The reasonable expense of every such
investigation shall be paid by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as applicable, if an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing relating to the Master Servicer,
or the Special Servicer, respectively, and otherwise by the
Certificateholders requesting the investigation; and
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys but shall not be relieved of its obligations
hereunder.
(b) Following the Start-up Day, the Trustee shall not, except as expressly
required by any provision of this Agreement, accept any contribution of assets
to the Trust Fund unless the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel
(the costs of obtaining such opinion to be borne by the Person requesting such
contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund
will not cause any of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC or the
Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding or subject any of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC or
the Lower-Tier REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable
provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(c) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the
Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by it without the
possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or
other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all
the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
The Trustee shall have no duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as
to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan
by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the eligibility of any Mortgage Loan
for purposes of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall not be taken as
the statements of the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Master Servicer, or the
Special Servicer, and the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Master Servicer and
Special Servicer assume no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee,
the Fiscal Agent, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer make no
representations or warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Agreement, of the Certificates or any prospectus used to offer the Certificates
for sale or the validity, enforceability or sufficiency of any Mortgage Loan or
related document. Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall at any time
have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality,
validity and enforceability of any Mortgage, any Mortgage Loan, or the
perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such
perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust
Fund or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to
Certificateholders under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, neither
the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall be liable or responsible for: the
existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence of
any hazard or other insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall assume
the duties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section
7.02) or the enforceability thereof; the existence of any Mortgage Loan or the
contents of the related Mortgage File on any computer or other record thereof
(other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the validity of the assignment of
any Mortgage Loan to the Trust Fund or of any intervening assignment; the
completeness of any Mortgage File (except for its review thereof pursuant to
Section 2.02); the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other than
if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the compliance by the Seller, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer with any warranty or representation made under
this Agreement or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty
or representation prior to the Trustee's receipt of notice or other discovery of
any non-compliance therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by
or at the direction of the Master Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom
(other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02), it being understood that the Trustee
shall remain responsible for any Trust Fund property that it may hold in its
individual capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the Seller, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the
duties of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02) or
any sub-Master Servicer or any Borrower; any action of the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02) or any
sub-Master Servicer taken in the name of the Trustee, except to the extent such
action is taken at the express written direction of the Trustee; the failure of
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or any sub-Master Servicer to act or
perform any duties required of it on behalf of the Trust Fund or the Trustee
hereunder; or any action by or omission of the Trustee taken at the instruction
of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall
assume the duties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.02) unless the taking of such action is not permitted by the express
terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve
the Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties as specifically set forth in
this Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall be accountable
for the use or application by the Seller, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or
for the use or application of any funds paid to the Seller, the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer in respect of the assignment of the Mortgage Loans or
deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account, Lower-Tier Distribution
Account, Middle-Tier Distribution Account, Upper-Tier Distribution Account,
Class Q Distribution Account, Excess Interest Distribution Account, Class M
Distribution Account, Lock Box Account, Reserve Accounts, Interest Reserve
Account or any other account maintained by or on behalf of the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer, other than any funds held by the Trustee or Fiscal
Agent, as applicable. Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall have
responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public
office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any
security interest or lien granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have
become the successor Master Servicer) or to record this Agreement. In making any
calculation hereunder which includes as a component thereof the payment or
distribution of interest for a stated period at a stated rate "to the extent
permitted by applicable law," the Trustee shall assume that such payment is so
permitted unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, or
receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person asserting the
impermissibility) to the effect that such payment is not permitted by applicable
law.
SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee, the Fiscal Agent and any agent of the Trustee or Fiscal Agent
in its individual capacity or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Certificates, and may deal with the Seller and the Master Servicer in banking
transactions, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Fiscal
Agent or such agent; provided, however, that the Trustee may not be a Holder or
Beneficial Owner of the Class M Certificates; and, provided further, that in the
event the Trustee owns any other Certificates and also is the direct or indirect
holder of any Affiliate Loan in its individual capacity, the Certificates held
by the Trustee shall not be considered to be outstanding for purposes of any
vote of Certificateholders required hereunder with respect to the Mortgage Loan
relating to such Affiliate Loan.
SECTION 8.05. Payment of Trustee Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) The Trustee or any successor Trustee shall be entitled, on each
Distribution Date, to the Trustee Fee (which shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust)
for all services rendered by the Trustee in the execution of the trusts hereby
created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties
hereunder of the Trustee, which Trustee Fee shall be paid to the Trustee prior
to the distribution on such Distribution Date of amounts to the
Certificateholders. In the event that the Trustee assumes the servicing
responsibilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder
pursuant to or otherwise arising from the resignation or removal of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to the
compensation to which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, would have been entitled.
(b) The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall each be paid or reimbursed by
the Trust Fund upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent pursuant to and in
accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of
all persons not regularly in its employ) to the extent such payments are
"unanticipated expenses" as described in clause (d) below, except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith;
provided, however, that, subject to the last paragraph of Section 8.01, neither
the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall refuse to perform any of its duties
hereunder solely as a result of the failure to be paid the Trustee Fee and the
Trustee's expenses or any sums due to the Fiscal Agent.
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer covenant and agree to pay or
reimburse the Trustee for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made
by the Trustee in connection with any transfer of the servicing responsibilities
of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively, hereunder,
pursuant to or otherwise arising from the resignation or removal of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, in accordance with any of the provisions of
this Agreement (and including the reasonable fees and expenses and disbursements
of its counsel and all other persons not regularly in its employ), except any
such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the negligence or bad
faith of the Trustee.
(c) Each of the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the Custodian, the
Seller, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (each, an "Indemnifying
Party") shall indemnify the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent and their respective
Affiliates and each of the directors, officers, employees and agents of the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent and their respective Affiliates (each, an "Indemnified
Party"), and hold each of them harmless against any and all claims, losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and
related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the
Indemnified Party may sustain in connection with this Agreement (including,
without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred by the
Indemnified Party in any action or proceeding between the Indemnifying Party and
the Indemnified Party or between the Indemnified Party and any third party or
otherwise) related to each such Indemnifying Party's respective willful
misconduct, bad faith, fraud and/or negligence in the performance of each of its
respective duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of its respective
obligations and duties hereunder (including in the case of the Master Servicer,
any agent of the Master Servicer or sub-Master Servicer).
(d) The Trust Fund shall indemnify each Indemnified Party from, and hold it
harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or
unanticipated expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in any action or
proceeding between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or between
the Indemnified Party and any third party or otherwise) arising in respect of
this Agreement or the Certificates, in each case to the extent and only to the
extent, such payments are expressly reimbursable under this Agreement, or are
unanticipated expenses (as defined below), other than (i) those resulting from
the negligence, fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party
and (ii) those as to which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification
pursuant to Section 8.05(c). The term "unanticipated expenses" shall include any
fees, expenses and disbursement of any separate trustee or co-trustee appointed
hereunder, only to the extent such fees, expenses and disbursements were not
reasonably anticipated as of the Closing Date, and the losses, liabilities,
damages, claims or incremental expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred or advanced by an Indemnified Party in connection with (i) a default
under any Mortgage Loan and (ii) any litigation arising out of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, under Section 2.03, Section 3.10, the third
paragraph of Section 3.11, Section 4.05 and Section 7.01. The right of
reimbursement of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 8.05(d) shall be
senior to the rights of all Certificateholders.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 8.05
shall survive the termination or maturity of this Agreement or the resignation
or removal of the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, as regards
rights accrued prior to such resignation or removal and (with respect to any
acts or omissions during their respective tenures) the resignation, removal or
termination of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Paying Agent, the
Certificate Registrar or the Custodian.
(f) This Section 8.05 shall be expressly construed to include, but not be
limited to, such indemnities, compensation, expenses, disbursements, advances,
losses, liabilities, damages and the like, as may pertain or relate to any
environmental law or environmental matter.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association
organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States of
America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and to
accept the trust conferred under this Agreement, having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000 and a rating on its unsecured long-term debt of
at least "BBB" by Fitch and DCR and "Baa2" by Moody's (or at any time when there
is no Fiscal Agent appointed and acting hereunder or any such Fiscal Agent so
appointed has a rating on its long-term unsecured debt that is lower than "AA"
by Fitch and DCR, "Aa2" by Moody's the rating on the unsecured long term debt of
the Trustee must be at least "AA" by Fitch and DCR, and "Aa2" by Moody's, or
meet different standards provided that each Rating Agency shall have confirmed
in writing that such different standards would not, in and of itself, result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings assigned to
the Certificates) and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority and shall not be an Affiliate of the Master Servicer (except during
any period when the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02); provided that, notwithstanding that the long-term
unsecured debt of LaSalle National Bank and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. are not rated by
Fitch and DCR, LaSalle National Bank shall not fail to qualify as Trustee solely
by virtue of the lack of such ratings until such time as either Fitch or DCR
shall notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in
writing that LaSalle National Bank is no longer exempt from the foregoing rating
requirements imposed by this sentence. If a corporation or association publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for purposes of this
Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to
be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. In the event that the place of business from which the
Trustee administers the Trust Fund is a state or local jurisdiction that imposes
a tax on the Trust Fund or the net income of a REMIC (other than a tax
corresponding to a tax imposed under the REMIC Provisions) the Trustee shall
elect either to (i) resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 8.07, (ii) pay such tax from its own funds and continue as
Trustee or (iii) administer the Trust Fund from a state and local jurisdiction
that does not impose such a tax. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created by giving written notice thereof to the Seller, the Master Servicer and
each Rating Agency. Upon such notice of resignation, the Fiscal Agent shall also
be deemed to have been removed and, accordingly, the Master Servicer shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee, the appointment of which would not, as
evidenced in writing, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, qualification or
withdrawal of the then current ratings assigned to the Certificates, and a
successor Fiscal Agent (if necessary to satisfy the requirements contained in
Section 8.06), the appointment of which, if the successor Trustee is not rated
by each Rating Agency in one of its two highest long-term debt rating
categories, would not, as evidenced in writing, in and of itself, result in a
downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, by written instrument, in triplicate, which instrument shall
be delivered to the resigning Trustee, with a copy to the Fiscal Agent deemed
removed, and the successor Trustee and successor Fiscal Agent. If no successor
Trustee and successor Fiscal Agent shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee and the Fiscal Agent may petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee and
successor Fiscal Agent.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Seller or Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or upon
a confirmation in writing by any Rating Agency that not terminating the Trustee,
or the Fiscal Agent, as applicable, would, in and of itself, cause the
then-current rating assigned to any Class of Certificates to be qualified,
withdrawn or downgraded, then the Seller may remove the Trustee and the Fiscal
Agent and promptly appoint a successor Trustee and successor Fiscal Agent by
written instrument, which shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent
so removed and to the successor Trustee and the successor Fiscal Agent. The
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 50% of the Voting Rights of all of
the Certificates may at any time remove the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent (and
any removal of the Trustee shall be deemed to be a removal also of the Fiscal
Agent) and appoint a successor Trustee and, if necessary, successor Fiscal Agent
by written instrument or instruments, in seven originals, signed by such Holders
or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which
instruments shall be delivered to the Seller, one complete set to the Master
Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed, one complete set to the
Fiscal Agent deemed removed, one complete set to the successor Trustee so
appointed and one complete set to any successor Fiscal Agent so appointed.
In the event of removal of the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent shall be deemed to
have been removed.
In the event that the Trustee or Fiscal Agent is terminated or removed
pursuant to this Section 8.07, all of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans shall be terminated, other than any
rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination or
removal (including the right to receive all fees, expenses and other amounts
accrued or owing to it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Advance Rate
on all 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 or removal).
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and Fiscal Agent and appointment
of a successor Trustee and, if such trustee is not rated by each Rating Agency
in one of its two highest long-term debt rating categories, a successor Fiscal
Agent pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become
effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee and, if
necessary, successor Fiscal Agent as provided in Section 8.08.
SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee and Fiscal Agent.
(a) Any successor Trustee and any successor Fiscal Agent appointed as
provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Seller,
the Master Servicer and to the predecessor Trustee and predecessor Fiscal Agent,
as the case may be, instruments accepting their appointment hereunder, and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee and predecessor
Fiscal Agent shall become effective and such successor Trustee and successor
Fiscal Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee or Fiscal
Agent herein, provided that the appointment of such successor Trustee and
successor Fiscal Agent shall not, as evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency,
result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings
assigned to the Certificates. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver to the
successor Trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held
by it hereunder, and the Seller and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required
for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all
such rights, powers, duties and obligations. No successor Trustee shall accept
appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 8.06.
The Fiscal Agent may not resign except in the event of the resignation or
removal of the Trustee, upon determination that it may no longer perform such
obligations and duties under applicable law, upon written confirmation from the
Rating Agencies that such resignation, without the appointment of a successor
Fiscal Agent, will not in and of itself result in a downgrade qualification or
withdrawal of the then current rating of any Class of Certificates. Any such
determination is required to be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such
effect delivered to the Seller and the Trustee. No resignation or removal of the
Fiscal Agent shall become effective until a successor fiscal agent acceptable to
each Rating Agency, as evidenced in writing (which may be Trustee) shall have
assumed the Fiscal Agent's obligations and duties under this Agreement.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this
Section 8.08, the Seller shall mail notice of the succession of such Trustee
hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the
Certificate Register. If the Seller fails to mail such notice within 10 days
after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee
shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Seller.
(b) Any successor Trustee or Fiscal Agent appointed pursuant to this
Agreement shall satisfy the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 8.06
hereof.
SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided that such corporation 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 Seller
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 Seller and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the
Seller 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 an
Event of Default 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 Seller 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.
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 8.11. Fiscal Agent Appointed; Concerning the Fiscal Agent.
(a) The Trustee hereby appoints ABN AMRO Bank N.V. as the initial Fiscal
Agent hereunder for the purposes of exercising and performing the obligations
and duties imposed upon the Fiscal Agent hereunder. The Fiscal Agent undertakes
to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth
hereunder.
(b) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Fiscal
Agent from liability for its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misfeasance or for a breach of a representation or warranty contained herein;
provided, however, that (i) the duties and obligations of the Fiscal Agent shall
be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Fiscal
Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and
obligations, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Fiscal Agent and, in the absence of bad faith on the part
of the Fiscal Agent, the Fiscal Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth and
correctness of the statements or conclusions expressed therein, upon any
resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or
other instruments furnished to the Fiscal Agent by the Seller, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee and which on their face do not
contradict the requirements of this Agreement, and (ii) the provisions of clause
(ii) of Section 8.01(c) shall apply to the Fiscal Agent.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION; OPTIONAL MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE
SECTION 9.01. Termination; Optional Mortgage Loan Purchase.
(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created
hereby with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to make
certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as
hereinafter set forth) shall terminate immediately following the occurrence of
the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to this Article IX
on the Termination Date; 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 Joseph P. Kennedy, the late
ambassador of the United States to the United Kingdom, living on the date
hereof.
(b) The Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC
shall be terminated and the assets of the Trust Fund with respect to the Trust
REMICs shall be sold or otherwise disposed of in connection therewith, only
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 each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC and the
Lower-Tier REMIC shall be sold for cash and that each such REMIC shall terminate
on a Distribution Date occurring not more than 90 days following the date of
adoption of the plan of complete liquidation. For purposes of this Section
9.01(b), the Notice of Termination given pursuant to Section 9.01(c) shall
constitute the adoption of the plan of complete liquidation as of the date such
notice is given, which date shall be specified by the Master Servicer in the
final federal income tax returns of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC
and the Lower-Tier REMIC. Notwithstanding the termination of the REMICs or the
Trust Fund, the Trustee shall be responsible for filing the final Tax Returns
for the REMICs and applicable income tax or information returns for the Grantor
Trust for the period ending with such termination, and shall maintain books and
records with respect to the REMICs and the Grantor Trust for the period for
which it maintains its own tax returns or other reasonable period.
(c) The Seller may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not
less than 30 days' prior notice given to the Trustee and Master Servicer 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 and the Montehiedra Partner Loans then included in the Trust
Fund, and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to not
less than the greater of:
(i) the sum of
(A) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan and the Montehiedra Partner Loans, included in the
Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date;
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of the
date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the
month preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans as to which title to the
related Mortgaged Property or the Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) or the MPL
Interest Rate, as applicable, to the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period preceding such Distribution
Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted hereby with interest
on all unreimbursed Advances at the Advance Rate; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Trustee shall be
entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Independent
appraiser pursuant to this subsection (c).
Any Mortgage Loan purchased under the circumstances described in this
subsection (c) will be purchased subject to a continuing right of (i) the
holders of the Class Q Certificates to receive from the purchaser(s), from time
to time, payments corresponding to Default Interest with respect to such
Mortgage Loan and (ii) the holders of the Classes of Certificates entitled to
receive the Excess Interest with respect to such Mortgage Loan, as specified in
Section 2.06(b), to receive from the purchaser(s), from time to time, payments
corresponding to Excess Interest with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
(d) If the Trust Fund has not been previously terminated pursuant to
subsection (c) of this Section 9.01, the Trustee shall determine as soon as
practicable the Distribution Date on which the Trustee 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 and the Middle-Tier Regular Interests, notwithstanding that such
distribution may be insufficient to distribute in full an amount equal to the
remaining Certificate Principal Amount of each such Certificate, Lower-Tier
Regular Interest or Middle-Tier Regular Interest, together with amounts required
to be distributed on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01 or (ii) if
no such Regular Certificates are then outstanding, to the Holders of the Class
LR Certificates of any amount remaining in the Collection Account or the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account, to the Holders of the Class MR Certificates of
any amount remaining in the Middle-Tier Distribution Account, and to the Holders
of the Class R Certificates of any amount remaining in the Upper-Tier
Distribution Account, in either 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 3.18 of
the last asset held by the Trust Fund and (iii) to the holders of the Class Q
Certificates, of any amount remaining in the Class Q Distribution Account to the
holders of Certificates entitled to receive Excess Interest, as provided in
Section 2.06(b), of any amount remaining in the Excess Interest Distribution
Account and to the holders of the Class M Certificates, of any amount remaining
in the Class M Distribution Account.
(e) Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section
9.01 shall be mailed by the Trustee to affected Certificateholders with a copy
to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency at their addresses shown in the
Certificate Registrar as soon as practicable after the Trustee 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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.

This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of
counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and

The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder's

proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Fund, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto

SECTION 10.07. Amendment.
This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the
Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure
any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein
that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or
therein, (iii) to amend any provision thereof to the extent necessary or
desirable to maintain the status of each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the
Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a REMIC, or to prevent the imposition
of any material state or local taxes; (iv) to amend or supplement any provisions
herein or therein that shall not adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto, as evidenced in
writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party requesting such
amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each Rating Agency
that such amendment or supplement will not result in a qualification, withdrawal
or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to the Certificates, (v) to
amend or supplement any provisions therein to the extent necessary or desirable
to maintain the ratings assigned to each of the Classes of Certificates by each
Rating Agency or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under this Agreement, which shall not be inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement and will not result in a downgrade, qualification
or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings then assigned to any
outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each Rating Agency in
writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend this Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to
any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain the
qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to
time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and
the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing
not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates
affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under this Agreement, without the consent of the
Holders of all Certificates representing all of the Percentage
Interest of the Class or Classes affected hereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the
Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
or
(iv) amend any section hereof which relates to the amendment of this
Agreement without the consent of all the holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class
or Classes affected thereby.
In the event that neither the Seller nor any successor thereto, if any, is
in existence, any amendment under this Section 10.07 shall be effective with the
consent of the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, and the Master Servicer, in writing,
and to the extent required by this Section, the Certificateholders. Promptly
after the execution of any amendment, the Master Servicer shall forward to the
Trustee and the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of
such amendment to each Certificateholder and each Rating Agency. It shall not be
necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 10.07 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 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.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no amendment
shall be made to this Agreement or any Custodial Agreement unless, if requested
by the Master Servicer and/or the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Trustee
shall have received 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 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 of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC or Lower-Tier REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding,
will not cause a tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund under the REMIC Provisions
(other than a tax at the highest marginal corporate tax rate on net income from
foreclosure property) and will not cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as
a grantor trust. Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement or
any Custodial Agreement, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, 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 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) 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. The Trustee and the
Fiscal Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment
which affects the Trustee's or the Fiscal Agent's own rights, duties or
immunities under this Agreement.
SECTION 10.08. Confirmation of Intent.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the
Trust Fund (including the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans) by
the Seller to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders as contemplated by
this Agreement and the sale by the Seller of the Certificates be, and be treated
for all purposes as, a sale by the Seller of the undivided portion of the
beneficial interest in the Trust Fund represented by the Certificates. It is,
further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a
pledge of the Trust Fund by the Seller to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent
of the parties, the Trust Fund is held to continue to be property of the Seller
then (a) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement under
applicable law; (b) the transfer of the Trust Fund provided for herein shall be
deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Trustee on behalf of
Certificateholders of a first priority security interest in all of the Seller's
right, title and interest in and to the Trust Fund and all amounts payable to
the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including, without limitation,
all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account,
Lower-Tier Distribution Account, Middle-Tier Distribution Account, Upper-Tier
Distribution Account, Class Q Distribution Account, Excess Interest Distribution
Account and Class M Distribution Account, whether in the form of cash,
instruments, securities or other property; (c) the possession by the Trustee (or
the Custodian on its behalf) of Notes and such other items of property as
constitute instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be
deemed to be "possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the
security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the Delaware and Illinois Uniform
Commercial Code; and (d) notifications to Persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any
assignment of the interest of the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof shall
also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created hereby. The
Seller shall, and upon the request of the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall, to
the extent consistent with this Agreement (and at the expense of the Trust
Fund), take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement
were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security
interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority
under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this
Agreement. It is the intent of the parties that such a security interest would
be effective whether any of the Certificates are sold, pledged or assigned.
SECTION 10.09. No Intended Third-Party Beneficiaries.
No Person other than a party to this Agreement and any Certificateholder
shall have any rights with respect to the enforcement of any of the rights or
obligations hereunder.
Without limiting the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement specifically
state that no Borrower, property manager or other party to a Mortgage Loan is an
intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

This certifies that CEDE & CO. 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 properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the
Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be
serviced, pursuant to the Pooling 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 Agreement and is bound thereby. Also
issued under the Pooling Agreement are the Class A-2A, Class A-2B, Class A-2C,
Class A-2D, Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class X-2, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class
E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class Q, Class M, Class R, Class MR and Class LR
Certificates (together with the Class A-1 Certificates, the "Certificates"; the
Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling Agreement 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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
This Certificate represents a pro rata undivided beneficial interest in 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 l986, as amended, and certain other assets.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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, allocable to the Class A-1 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as
more fully described in the Pooling 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 Agreement. The "Interest Accrual Period" with respect to any
Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates is the period
commencing on and including the Distribution Date in the month preceding the
month in which such Distribution Date occurs (or August 14 in the case of the
initial Interest Accrual Period) and ending on and including the day immediately
preceding such Distribution Date.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent to the persons in whose names the Certificates
are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be, with
respect to the Class A-1 Certificates, the close of business on the 10th day of
the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a
Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
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 Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (i) such
Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans as from time to time are
subject to the Pooling Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating
thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect
of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans due after the Cut-Off
Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO
Property; (v) any property acquired on behalf of the Trust Fund through
foreclosure on the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral; (vi) the Master Servicer's
and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with respect to the
Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and
any proceeds thereof; (vii) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any
security agreements; (viii) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional
security for any Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans; (ix) all
assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, Reserve Accounts (to
the extent such assets in such accounts are not assets of the respective
Borrowers), the Collection Account, the Class M Collection Account, the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Middle-Tier Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Interest Reserve Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the Class M
Distribution Account and any REO Account including reinvestment income thereon;
(x) any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties;
(xi) the rights and remedies under the Loan Sale Agreement; (xii) the proceeds
of any of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the
Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such
interest belongs to the related Borrower); (xiii) the Montehiedra Partner
Guarantee; and (xiv) all of the mortgagee's right, title and interest under any
Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling Agreement, and
reference is made to the Pooling Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates; or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all
the Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the
Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling Agreement which relates to the
amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class
or Classes affected thereby.
The Seller may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less
than 30 days' prior notice given to the Trustee and Master Servicer any time on
or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner
Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, at a purchase price, payable
in cash, equal to not less than the greater of:
(i) the sum of
(A) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan and the Montehiedra Partner Loans, included in the
Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date;
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of the
date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the
month preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans as to which title to the
related Mortgaged Property or the Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) or the MPL
Interest Rate, as applicable, to the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period preceding such Distribution
Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted under the Pooling
Agreement with interest on all unreimbursed Advances at
the Advance Rate; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by
an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created by the
Pooling Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set
forth in the Pooling Agreement) shall terminate immediately following the
occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to
Article IX of the Pooling Agreement on the Termination Date; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration
of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United
Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling Agreement.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been
executed by the Trustee or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual
signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Pooling Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

This certifies that CEDE & CO. 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-2A Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully
below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the
Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be
serviced, pursuant to the Pooling 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 Agreement and is bound thereby. Also
issued under the Pooling Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2B, Class A-2C,
Class A-2D, Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class X-2, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class
E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class Q, Class M, Class R, Class MR and Class LR
Certificates (together with the Class A-2A Certificates, the "Certificates"; the
Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling Agreement 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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
This Certificate represents a pro rata undivided beneficial interest in 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 l986, as amended, and certain other assets.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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, allocable to the Class A-2A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as
more fully described in the Pooling Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may
be entitled to Prepayment Premiums, as provided in the Pooling 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 Agreement. The "Interest Accrual Period" with respect to any
Distribution Date and with respect to each Class of Certificates is the calendar
month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest
Accrual Period with respect to each Class of Certificates (other than the Class
A-1 Certificates) is assumed to consist of 30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
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 Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (i) such
Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans as from time to time are
subject to the Pooling Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating
thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect
of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans due after the Cut-Off
Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO
Property; (v) any property acquired on behalf of the Trust Fund through
foreclosure on the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral; (vi) the Master Servicer's
and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with respect to the
Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and
any proceeds thereof; (vii) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any
security agreements; (viii) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional
security for any Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans; (ix) all
assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, Reserve Accounts (to
the extent such assets in such accounts are not assets of the respective
Borrowers), the Collection Account, the Class M Collection Account, the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Middle-Tier Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Interest Reserve Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the Class M
Distribution Account and any REO Account including reinvestment income thereon;
(x) any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties;
(xi) the rights and remedies under the Loan Sale Agreement; (xii) the proceeds
of any of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the
Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such
interest belongs to the related Borrower); (xiii) the Montehiedra Partner
Guarantee; and (xiv) all of the mortgagee's right, title and interest under any
Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling Agreement, and
reference is made to the Pooling Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all
the Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the
Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling Agreement which relates to the
amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class
or Classes affected thereby.
The Seller may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less
than 30 days' prior notice given to the Trustee and Master Servicer any time on
or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner
Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, at a purchase price, payable
in cash, equal to not less than the greater of:
(i)______the sum of
(A) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan and the Montehiedra Partner Loans, included in the
Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date;
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of the
date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the
month preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans as to which title to the
related Mortgaged Property or the Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) or the MPL
Interest Rate, as applicable, to the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period preceding such Distribution
Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted under the Pooling
Agreement with interest on all unreimbursed Advances at
the Advance Rate; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by
an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created by the
Pooling Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set
forth in the Pooling Agreement) shall terminate immediately following the
occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to
Article IX of the Pooling Agreement on the Termination Date; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration
of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United
Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling Agreement.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been

Pooling Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

This certifies that CEDE & CO. 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-2B Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully
below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the
Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be
serviced, pursuant to the Pooling 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 Agreement and is bound thereby. Also

Class A-2D, Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class X-2, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class

Certificates (together with the Class A-2B Certificates, the "Certificates"; the
Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling Agreement 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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
This Certificate represents a pro rata undivided beneficial interest in 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 l986, as amended, and certain other assets.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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, allocable to the Class A-2B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as
more fully described in the Pooling Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may
be entitled to Prepayment Premiums, as provided in the Pooling 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 Agreement. The "Interest Accrual Period" with respect to any
Distribution Date and with respect to each Class of Certificates is the calendar
month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest
Accrual Period with respect to each Class of Certificates (other than the Class
A-1 Certificates) is assumed to consist of 30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
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 Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (i) such
Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans as from time to time are
subject to the Pooling Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating
thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect
of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans due after the Cut-Off
Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO

obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all
the Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the
Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling Agreement which relates to the
amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class
or Classes affected thereby.
The Seller may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less
than 30 days' prior notice given to the Trustee and Master Servicer any time on
or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner
Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, at a purchase price, payable
in cash, equal to not less than the greater of:
(i)______the sum of
(A) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan and the Montehiedra Partner Loans, included in the
Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date;
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of the
date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the
month preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans as to which title to the
related Mortgaged Property or the Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) or the MPL
Interest Rate, as applicable, to the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period preceding such Distribution
Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted under the Pooling
Agreement with interest on all unreimbursed Advances at
the Advance Rate; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by
an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created by the
Pooling Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set
forth in the Pooling Agreement) shall terminate immediately following the
occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to
Article IX of the Pooling Agreement on the Termination Date; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration
of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United
Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling Agreement.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been
executed by the Trustee or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual

This certifies that CEDE & CO. 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-2C Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully
below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the
Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be
serviced, pursuant to the Pooling 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 Agreement and is bound thereby. Also
issued under the Pooling Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B,
Class A-2D, Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class X-2, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class
E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class Q, Class M, Class R, Class MR and Class LR
Certificates (together with the Class A-2C Certificates, the "Certificates"; the
Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling Agreement 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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
This Certificate represents a pro rata undivided beneficial interest in 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 l986, as amended, and certain other assets.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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, allocable to the Class A-2C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as
more fully described in the Pooling Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may
be entitled to Prepayment Premiums, as provided in the Pooling 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 Agreement. The "Interest Accrual Period" with respect to any
Distribution Date and with respect to each Class of Certificates is the calendar
month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest
Accrual Period with respect to each Class of Certificates (other than the Class
A-1 Certificates) is assumed to consist of 30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
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 Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (i) such
Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans as from time to time are
subject to the Pooling Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating
thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect
of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans due after the Cut-Off
Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO
Property; (v) any property acquired on behalf of the Trust Fund through
foreclosure on the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral; (vi) the Master Servicer's
and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with respect to the
Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and
any proceeds thereof; (vii) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any
security agreements; (viii) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional
security for any Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans; (ix) all
assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, Reserve Accounts (to
the extent such assets in such accounts are not assets of the respective
Borrowers), the Collection Account, the Class M Collection Account, the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Middle-Tier Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Interest Reserve Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the Class M
Distribution Account and any REO Account including reinvestment income thereon;
(x) any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties;
(xi) the rights and remedies under the Loan Sale Agreement; (xii) the proceeds
of any of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the
Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such
interest belongs to the related Borrower); (xiii) the Montehiedra Partner
Guarantee; and (xiv) all of the mortgagee's right, title and interest under any
Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling Agreement, and
reference is made to the Pooling Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all
the Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;

Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of

amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class

Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner

This certifies that CEDE & CO. 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-2D Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully
below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the
Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be
serviced, pursuant to the Pooling 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 Agreement and is bound thereby. Also
issued under the Pooling Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B,
Class A-2C, Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class X-2, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class
E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class Q, Class M, Class R, Class MR and Class LR
Certificates (together with the Class A-2D Certificates, the "Certificates"; the
Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling Agreement 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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
This Certificate represents a pro rata undivided beneficial interest in 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 l986, as amended, and certain other assets.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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, allocable to the Class A-2D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as
more fully described in the Pooling Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may
be entitled to Prepayment Premiums, as provided in the Pooling 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 Agreement. The "Interest Accrual Period" with respect to any
Distribution Date and with respect to each Class of Certificates is the calendar
month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest
Accrual Period with respect to each Class of Certificates (other than the Class
A-1 Certificates) is assumed to consist of 30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
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 Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (i) such
Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans as from time to time are
subject to the Pooling Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating
thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect
of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans due after the Cut-Off
Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO
Property; (v) any property acquired on behalf of the Trust Fund through
foreclosure on the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral; (vi) the Master Servicer's
and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with respect to the
Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and
any proceeds thereof; (vii) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any
security agreements; (viii) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional
security for any Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans; (ix) all
assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, Reserve Accounts (to
the extent such assets in such accounts are not assets of the respective
Borrowers), the Collection Account, the Class M Collection Account, the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Middle-Tier Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Interest Reserve Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the Class M
Distribution Account and any REO Account including reinvestment income thereon;
(x) any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties;
(xi) the rights and remedies under the Loan Sale Agreement; (xii) the proceeds
of any of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the
Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such
interest belongs to the related Borrower); (xiii) the Montehiedra Partner
Guarantee; and (xiv) all of the mortgagee's right, title and interest under any
Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling Agreement, and
reference is made to the Pooling Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all
the Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the
Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling Agreement which relates to the
amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class
or Classes affected thereby.
The Seller may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less
than 30 days' prior notice given to the Trustee and Master Servicer any time on
or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner
Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, at a purchase price, payable
in cash, equal to not less than the greater of:

Loan and the Montehiedra Partner Loans, included in the
Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date;
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of the
date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the
month preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans as to which title to the
related Mortgaged Property or the Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) or the MPL
Interest Rate, as applicable, to the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period preceding such Distribution
Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted under the Pooling
Agreement with interest on all unreimbursed Advances at
the Advance Rate; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by
an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created by the
Pooling Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set
forth in the Pooling Agreement) shall terminate immediately following the
occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to
Article IX of the Pooling Agreement on the Termination Date; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration
of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of

ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with
respect to the Class X-1A Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully
below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the
Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be
serviced, pursuant to the Pooling 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 Agreement and is bound thereby. Also
issued under the Pooling Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B,
Class A-2C, Class A-2D, Class X-1B, Class X-2, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class
E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class Q, Class M, Class R, Class MR and Class LR
Certificates (together with the Class X-1A Certificates, the "Certificates"; the
Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling Agreement 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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
This Certificate represents a pro rata undivided beneficial interest in 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 l986, as amended, and certain other assets.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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 interest then distributable, if any,
allocable to the Class X-1A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more
fully described in the Pooling Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be
entitled to Prepayment Premiums, as provided in the Pooling 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 Agreement. The "Interest Accrual Period" with respect to any
Distribution Date and with respect to each Class of Certificates is the calendar
month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest
Accrual Period with respect to each Class of Certificates (other than the Class
A-1 Certificates) is assumed to consist of 30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
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 Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (i) such
Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans as from time to time are
subject to the Pooling Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating
thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect
of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans due after the Cut-Off
Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO
Property; (v) any property acquired on behalf of the Trust Fund through
foreclosure on the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral; (vi) the Master Servicer's
and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with respect to the
Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and
any proceeds thereof; (vii) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any
security agreements; (viii) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional
security for any Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans; (ix) all
assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, Reserve Accounts (to
the extent such assets in such accounts are not assets of the respective
Borrowers), the Collection Account, the Class M Collection Account, the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Middle-Tier Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Interest Reserve Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the Class M
Distribution Account and any REO Account including reinvestment income thereon;
(x) any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties;
(xi) the rights and remedies under the Loan Sale Agreement; (xii) the proceeds
of any of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the
Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such
interest belongs to the related Borrower); (xiii) the Montehiedra Partner
Guarantee; and (xiv) all of the mortgagee's right, title and interest under any
Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling Agreement, and
reference is made to the Pooling Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all
the Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the
Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling Agreement which relates to the
amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class
or Classes affected thereby.
The Seller may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less
than 30 days' prior notice given to the Trustee and Master Servicer any time on
or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner
Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, at a purchase price, payable
in cash, equal to not less than the greater of:
(i)______the sum of
(A) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan and the Montehiedra Partner Loans, included in the
Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date;
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of the
date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the
month preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans as to which title to the
related Mortgaged Property or Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) or the MPL
Interest Rate, as applicable, to the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period preceding such Distribution
Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted under the Pooling
Agreement with interest on all unreimbursed Advances at
the Advance Rate; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by
an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created by the
Pooling Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set
forth in the Pooling Agreement) shall terminate immediately following the
occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to
Article IX of the Pooling Agreement on the Termination Date; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration
of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United
Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling Agreement.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been
executed by the Trustee or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual

Pooling Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee 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

material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in

then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each

the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all
the Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of

or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling Agreement which relates to the
amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class

aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner

(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the

related Mortgaged Property or Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) or the MPL
Interest Rate, as applicable, to the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period preceding such Distribution
Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted under the Pooling

Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by
an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created by the
Pooling Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set
forth in the Pooling Agreement) shall terminate immediately following the
occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to
Article IX of the Pooling Agreement on the Termination Date; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration
of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of

Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling Agreement.

This certifies that CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of a beneficial
ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with
respect to the Class X-2 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully
below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the
Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be
serviced, pursuant to the Pooling 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 Agreement and is bound thereby. Also
issued under the Pooling Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B,
Class A-2C, Class A-2D, Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class
E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class Q, Class M, Class R, Class MR and Class LR
Certificates (together with the Class X-2 Certificates, the "Certificates"; the
Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling Agreement 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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
This Certificate represents a pro rata undivided beneficial interest in 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 l986, as amended, and certain other assets.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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 interest then distributable, if any,
allocable to the Class X-2 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more
fully described in the Pooling Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be
entitled to Prepayment Premiums, as provided in the Pooling 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 Agreement. The "Interest Accrual Period" with respect to any
Distribution Date and with respect to each Class of Certificates is the calendar
month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest
Accrual Period with respect to each Class of Certificates (other than the Class
A-1 Certificates) is assumed to consist of 30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
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 Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (i) such
Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans as from time to time are
subject to the Pooling Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating
thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect
of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans due after the Cut-Off
Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO
Property; (v) any property acquired on behalf of the Trust Fund through
foreclosure on the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral; (vi) the Master Servicer's
and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with respect to the
Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and
any proceeds thereof; (vii) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any
security agreements; (viii) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional
security for any Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans; (ix) all
assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, Reserve Accounts (to
the extent such assets in such accounts are not assets of the respective
Borrowers), the Collection Account, the Class M Collection Account, the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Middle-Tier Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Interest Reserve Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the Class M
Distribution Account and any REO Account including reinvestment income thereon;
(x) any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties;
(xi) the rights and remedies under the Loan Sale Agreement; (xii) the proceeds
of any of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the
Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such
interest belongs to the related Borrower); (xiii) the Montehiedra Partner
Guarantee; and (xiv) all of the mortgagee's right, title and interest under any
Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling Agreement, and
reference is made to the Pooling Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly

more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling

provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;

Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all

Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of

or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling Agreement which relates to the
amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class
or Classes affected thereby.

This certifies that CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of a beneficial
ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with
respect to the Class B Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below,
consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the
Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be
serviced, pursuant to the Pooling 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 Agreement and is bound thereby. Also
issued under the Pooling Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B,
Class A-2C, Class A-2D, Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class X-2, Class C, Class D,
Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class Q, Class M, Class R, Class MR and
Class LR Certificates (together with the Class B Certificates, the
"Certificates"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling Agreement
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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
This Certificate represents a pro rata undivided beneficial interest in 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 l986, as amended, and certain other assets.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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, allocable to the Class B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as
more fully described in the Pooling Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may
be entitled to Prepayment Premiums, as provided in the Pooling 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 Agreement. The "Interest Accrual Period" with respect to any
Distribution Date and with respect to each Class of Certificates is the calendar
month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest
Accrual Period with respect to each Class of Certificates (other than the Class
A-1 Certificates) is assumed to consist of 30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
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 Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (i) such
Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans as from time to time are
subject to the Pooling Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating
thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect
of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans due after the Cut-Off
Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO
Property; (v) any property acquired on behalf of the Trust Fund through
foreclosure on the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral; (vi) the Master Servicer's
and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with respect to the
Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and
any proceeds thereof; (vii) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any
security agreements; (viii) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional
security for any Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans; (ix) all
assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, Reserve Accounts (to
the extent such assets in such accounts are not assets of the respective
Borrowers), the Collection Account, the Class M Collection Account, the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Middle-Tier Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Interest Reserve Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the Class M
Distribution Account and any REO Account including reinvestment income thereon;
(x) any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties;
(xi) the rights and remedies under the Loan Sale Agreement; (xii) the proceeds
of any of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the
Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such
interest belongs to the related Borrower); (xiii) the Montehiedra Partner
Guarantee; and (xiv) all of the mortgagee's right, title and interest under any
Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling Agreement, and
reference is made to the Pooling Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all
the Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the
Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling Agreement which relates to the
amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class
or Classes affected thereby.
The Seller may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less
than 30 days' prior notice given to the Trustee and Master Servicer any time on
or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner
Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, at a purchase price, payable
in cash, equal to not less than the greater of:
(i)______the sum of
(A) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan and the Montehiedra Partner Loans, included in the
Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date;
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of the
date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the
month preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans as to which title to the
related Mortgaged Property or Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) or the MPL
Interest Rate, as applicable, to the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period preceding such Distribution
Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted under the Pooling
Agreement with interest on all unreimbursed Advances at
the Advance Rate; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by
an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created by the
Pooling Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set
forth in the Pooling Agreement) shall terminate immediately following the
occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to
Article IX of the Pooling Agreement on the Termination Date; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration
of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United
Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling Agreement.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been

Pooling Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

This certifies that CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of a beneficial
ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with
respect to the Class C Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below,
consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the
Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be
serviced, pursuant to the Pooling 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 Agreement and is bound thereby. Also
issued under the Pooling Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B,
Class A-2C, Class A-2D, Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class X-2, Class B, Class D,
Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class Q, Class M, Class R, Class MR and
Class LR Certificates (together with the Class C Certificates, the
"Certificates"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling Agreement
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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
This Certificate represents a pro rata undivided beneficial interest in 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 l986, as amended, and certain other assets.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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, allocable to the Class C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as
more fully described in the Pooling Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may
be entitled to Prepayment Premiums, as provided in the Pooling 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 Agreement. The "Interest Accrual Period" with respect to any
Distribution Date and with respect to each Class of Certificates is the calendar
month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest
Accrual Period with respect to each Class of Certificates (other than the Class
A-1 Certificates) is assumed to consist of 30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
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 Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (i) such
Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans as from time to time are
subject to the Pooling Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating
thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect
of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans due after the Cut-Off
Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO
Property; (v) any property acquired on behalf of the Trust Fund through
foreclosure on the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral; (vi) the Master Servicer's
and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with respect to the
Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and
any proceeds thereof; (vii) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any
security agreements; (viii) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional
security for any Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans; (ix) all
assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, Reserve Accounts (to
the extent such assets in such accounts are not assets of the respective
Borrowers), the Collection Account, the Class M Collection Account, the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Middle-Tier Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Interest Reserve Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the Class M
Distribution Account and any REO Account including reinvestment income thereon;
(x) any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties;
(xi) the rights and remedies under the Loan Sale Agreement; (xii) the proceeds
of any of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the
Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such
interest belongs to the related Borrower); (xiii) the Montehiedra Partner
Guarantee; and (xiv) all of the mortgagee's right, title and interest under any
Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling Agreement, and
reference is made to the Pooling Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all
the Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the
Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling Agreement which relates to the
amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class
or Classes affected thereby.
The Seller may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less
than 30 days' prior notice given to the Trustee and Master Servicer any time on
or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner
Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, at a purchase price, payable
in cash, equal to not less than the greater of:
(i)______the sum of
(A) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan and the Montehiedra Partner Loans, included in the
Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date;
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of the
date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the
month preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans as to which title to the
related Mortgaged Property or Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) or the MPL
Interest Rate, as applicable, to the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period preceding such Distribution
Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted under the Pooling
Agreement with interest on all unreimbursed Advances at
the Advance Rate; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by
an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created by the
Pooling Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set
forth in the Pooling Agreement) shall terminate immediately following the
occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to
Article IX of the Pooling Agreement on the Termination Date; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration
of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United
Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling Agreement.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been
executed by the Trustee or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual

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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
This Certificate represents a pro rata undivided beneficial interest in 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 l986, as amended, and certain other assets.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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, allocable to the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as
more fully described in the Pooling Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may
be entitled to Prepayment Premiums, as provided in the Pooling 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 Agreement. The "Interest Accrual Period" with respect to any
Distribution Date and with respect to each Class of Certificates is the calendar
month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest
Accrual Period with respect to each Class of Certificates (other than the Class
A-1 Certificates) is assumed to consist of 30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
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 Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (i) such
Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans as from time to time are
subject to the Pooling Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating
thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect
of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans due after the Cut-Off
Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO
Property; (v) any property acquired on behalf of the Trust Fund through
foreclosure on the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral; (vi) the Master Servicer's
and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with respect to the
Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and
any proceeds thereof; (vii) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any
security agreements; (viii) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional
security for any Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans; (ix) all
assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, Reserve Accounts (to
the extent such assets in such accounts are not assets of the respective
Borrowers), the Collection Account, the Class M Collection Account, the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Middle-Tier Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Interest Reserve Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the Class M
Distribution Account and any REO Account including reinvestment income thereon;
(x) any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties;
(xi) the rights and remedies under the Loan Sale Agreement; (xii) the proceeds
of any of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the
Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such
interest belongs to the related Borrower); (xiii) the Montehiedra Partner
Guarantee; and (xiv) all of the mortgagee's right, title and interest under any
Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling Agreement, and
reference is made to the Pooling Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all
the Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the
Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling Agreement which relates to the
amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class
or Classes affected thereby.
The Seller may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less
than 30 days' prior notice given to the Trustee and Master Servicer any time on
or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner
Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, at a purchase price, payable
in cash, equal to not less than the greater of:
(i)______the sum of
(A) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan and the Montehiedra Partner Loans, included in the
Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date;
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of the
date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the
month preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans as to which title to the
related Mortgaged Property or Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) or the MPL
Interest Rate, as applicable, to the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period preceding such Distribution
Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted under the Pooling
Agreement with interest on all unreimbursed Advances at
the Advance Rate; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by
an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created by the
Pooling Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set
forth in the Pooling Agreement) shall terminate immediately following the
occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to
Article IX of the Pooling Agreement on the Termination Date; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration
of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United
Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling Agreement.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been
executed by the Trustee or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual
signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Pooling Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

This certifies that CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of a beneficial

respect to the Class E Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below,
consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the
Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be
serviced, pursuant to the Pooling 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 Agreement and is bound thereby. Also
issued under the Pooling Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B,
Class A-2C, Class A-2D, Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class X-2, Class B, Class C,

Class LR Certificates (together with the Class E Certificates, the
"Certificates"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling Agreement
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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
This Certificate represents a pro rata undivided beneficial interest in 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 l986, as amended, and certain other assets.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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, allocable to the Class E Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as
more fully described in the Pooling Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may
be entitled to Prepayment Premiums, as provided in the Pooling 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 Agreement. The "Interest Accrual Period" with respect to any
Distribution Date and with respect to each Class of Certificates is the calendar
month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest
Accrual Period with respect to each Class of Certificates (other than the Class
A-1 Certificates) is assumed to consist of 30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
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 Agreement.

Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans as from time to time are

Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and
any proceeds thereof; (vii) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any
security agreements; (viii) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling Agreement, and

obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all
the Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the
Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling Agreement which relates to the
amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class
or Classes affected thereby.
The Seller may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less
than 30 days' prior notice given to the Trustee and Master Servicer any time on
or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner
Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, at a purchase price, payable
in cash, equal to not less than the greater of:
(i)______the sum of
(A) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan and the Montehiedra Partner Loans, included in the
Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date;
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of the
date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the
month preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans as to which title to the
related Mortgaged Property or Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) or the MPL
Interest Rate, as applicable, to the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period preceding such Distribution
Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted under the Pooling
Agreement with interest on all unreimbursed Advances at
the Advance Rate; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by
an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created by the
Pooling Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set
forth in the Pooling Agreement) shall terminate immediately following the
occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to
Article IX of the Pooling Agreement on the Termination Date; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration
of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United
Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling Agreement.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been
executed by the Trustee or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual
signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Pooling Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

This certifies that CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of a beneficial
ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with
respect to the Class F Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below,
consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the
Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be
serviced, pursuant to the Pooling 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 Agreement and is bound thereby. Also
issued under the Pooling Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B,
Class A-2C, Class A-2D, Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class X-2, Class B, Class C,
Class D, Class E, Class G, Class H, Class Q, Class M, Class R, Class MR and
Class LR Certificates (together with the Class F Certificates, the
"Certificates"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling Agreement
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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
This Certificate represents a pro rata undivided beneficial interest in 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 l986, as amended, and certain other assets.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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, allocable to the Class F Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as
more fully described in the Pooling Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may
be entitled to Prepayment Premiums, as provided in the Pooling 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 Agreement. The "Interest Accrual Period" with respect to any
Distribution Date and with respect to each Class of Certificates is the calendar
month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest
Accrual Period with respect to each Class of Certificates (other than the Class
A-1 Certificates) is assumed to consist of 30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
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 Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (i) such
Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans as from time to time are
subject to the Pooling Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating
thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect
of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans due after the Cut-Off
Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO

foreclosure on the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral; (vi) the Master Servicer's
and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with respect to the
Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and
any proceeds thereof; (vii) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any
security agreements; (viii) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional
security for any Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans; (ix) all
assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, Reserve Accounts (to
the extent such assets in such accounts are not assets of the respective
Borrowers), the Collection Account, the Class M Collection Account, the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Middle-Tier Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Interest Reserve Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the Class M
Distribution Account and any REO Account including reinvestment income thereon;
(x) any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties;
(xi) the rights and remedies under the Loan Sale Agreement; (xii) the proceeds
of any of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the
Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such
interest belongs to the related Borrower); (xiii) the Montehiedra Partner
Guarantee; and (xiv) all of the mortgagee's right, title and interest under any
Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling Agreement, and
reference is made to the Pooling Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage

The Seller may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less
than 30 days' prior notice given to the Trustee and Master Servicer any time on
or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner
Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, at a purchase price, payable
in cash, equal to not less than the greater of:

month preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans as to which title to the
related Mortgaged Property or Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) or the MPL
Interest Rate, as applicable, to the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period preceding such Distribution
Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted under the Pooling

the Advance Rate; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by
an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created by the
Pooling Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set
forth in the Pooling Agreement) shall terminate immediately following the
occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to
Article IX of the Pooling Agreement on the Termination Date; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration
of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United
Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling Agreement.

This certifies that CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of a beneficial
ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with
respect to the Class G Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below,
consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the
Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be
serviced, pursuant to the Pooling 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 Agreement and is bound thereby. Also
issued under the Pooling Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B,
Class A-2C, Class A-2D, Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class X-2, Class B, Class C,
Class D, Class E, Class F, Class H, Class Q, Class M, Class R, Class MR and
Class LR Certificates (together with the Class G Certificates, the
"Certificates"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling Agreement
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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
This Certificate represents a pro rata undivided beneficial interest in 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 l986, as amended, and certain other assets.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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, allocable to the Class G Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as
more fully described in the Pooling Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may
be entitled to Prepayment Premiums, as provided in the Pooling 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 Agreement. The "Interest Accrual Period" with respect to any
Distribution Date and with respect to each Class of Certificates is the calendar
month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest
Accrual Period with respect to each Class of Certificates (other than the Class
A-1 Certificates) is assumed to consist of 30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
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 Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (i) such
Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans as from time to time are
subject to the Pooling Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating
thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect
of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans due after the Cut-Off
Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO
Property; (v) any property acquired on behalf of the Trust Fund through
foreclosure on the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral; (vi) the Master Servicer's
and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with respect to the
Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and
any proceeds thereof; (vii) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any
security agreements; (viii) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional
security for any Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans; (ix) all
assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, Reserve Accounts (to
the extent such assets in such accounts are not assets of the respective
Borrowers), the Collection Account, the Class M Collection Account, the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Middle-Tier Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Interest Reserve Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the Class M
Distribution Account and any REO Account including reinvestment income thereon;
(x) any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties;
(xi) the rights and remedies under the Loan Sale Agreement; (xii) the proceeds
of any of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the
Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such
interest belongs to the related Borrower); (xiii) the Montehiedra Partner
Guarantee; and (xiv) all of the mortgagee's right, title and interest under any
Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling Agreement, and
reference is made to the Pooling Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all
the Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the
Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling Agreement which relates to the
amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class
or Classes affected thereby.
The Seller may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less
than 30 days' prior notice given to the Trustee and Master Servicer any time on
or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner
Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, at a purchase price, payable
in cash, equal to not less than the greater of:
(i)______the sum of
(A) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan and the Montehiedra Partner Loans, included in the
Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date;
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of the
date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the
month preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans as to which title to the
related Mortgaged Property has been acquired) at the
Mortgage Rate (plus the Excess Rate, to the extent
applicable) or the MPL Interest Rate, as applicable, to
the last day of the Interest Accrual Period preceding
such Distribution Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted under the Pooling
Agreement with interest on all unreimbursed Advances at
the Advance Rate; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by
an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created by the
Pooling Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set
forth in the Pooling Agreement) shall terminate immediately following the
occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to
Article IX of the Pooling Agreement on the Termination Date; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration
of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United
Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling Agreement.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been
executed by the Trustee or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual
signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Pooling Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

This certifies that CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of a beneficial
ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with
respect to the Class H Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below,
consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the
Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be
serviced, pursuant to the Pooling 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 Agreement and is bound thereby. Also
issued under the Pooling Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B,
Class A-2C, Class A-2D, Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class X-2, Class B, Class C,
Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class Q, Class M, Class R, Class MR and
Class LR Certificates (together with the Class H Certificates, the
"Certificates"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling Agreement
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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
This Certificate represents a pro rata undivided beneficial interest in 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 l986, as amended, and certain other assets.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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, allocable to the Class H Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as
more fully described in the Pooling Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may
be entitled to Prepayment Premiums, as provided in the Pooling 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 Agreement. The "Interest Accrual Period" with respect to any
Distribution Date and with respect to each Class of Certificates is the calendar
month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Each Interest
Accrual Period with respect to each Class of Certificates (other than the Class
A-1 Certificates) is assumed to consist of 30 days.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
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 Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (i) such
Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans as from time to time are
subject to the Pooling Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating
thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect
of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans due after the Cut-Off
Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO
Property; (v) any property acquired on behalf of the Trust Fund through
foreclosure on the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral; (vi) the Master Servicer's
and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with respect to the
Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and
any proceeds thereof; (vii) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any
security agreements; (viii) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional
security for any Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans; (ix) all
assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, Reserve Accounts (to
the extent such assets in such accounts are not assets of the respective
Borrowers), the Collection Account, the Class M Collection Account, the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Middle-Tier Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Interest Reserve Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the Class M
Distribution Account and any REO Account including reinvestment income thereon;
(x) any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties;
(xi) the rights and remedies under the Loan Sale Agreement; (xii) the proceeds
of any of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the
Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such
interest belongs to the related Borrower); (xiii) the Montehiedra Partner
Guarantee; and (xiv) all of the mortgagee's right, title and interest under any
Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling Agreement, and
reference is made to the Pooling Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all
the Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the
Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling Agreement which relates to the
amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class
or Classes affected thereby.
The Seller may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less
than 30 days' prior notice given to the Trustee and Master Servicer any time on
or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner
Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, at a purchase price, payable
in cash, equal to not less than the greater of:
(i)______the sum of
(A) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan and the Montehiedra Partner Loans, included in the
Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date;
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of the
date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the
month preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans as to which title to the
related Mortgaged Property or Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) or the MPL
Interest Rate, as applicable, to the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period preceding such Distribution
Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted under the Pooling
Agreement with interest on all unreimbursed Advances at
the Advance Rate; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by
an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created by the
Pooling Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set
forth in the Pooling Agreement) shall terminate immediately following the
occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to
Article IX of the Pooling Agreement on the Termination Date; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration
of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United
Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling Agreement.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been
executed by the Trustee or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual
signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Pooling Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

This certifies that CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of a beneficial
ownership interest in certain assets of the Trust Fund, including the
distributions to be made with respect to the Class M Certificates. The Class M
Certificateholder's interest in the Trust Fund, described more fully below,
consists primarily of the Montehiedra Partner Loans and the collateral securing
such loans. The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof,
assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling Agreement (as
defined below) and is bound thereby. Also issued under the Pooling Agreement are
the Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B, Class A-2C, Class A-2D, Class X-1A, Class
X-1B, Class X-2, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H,
Class Q, Class R, Class MR and Class LR Certificates (together with the Class M
Certificates, the "Certificates"; the Holders of Certificates issued under the
Pooling Agreement 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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 12th
day of each month (or, if the 12th day is not a Business Day, the third Business
Day immediately following the 12th day of the month), commencing on September
16, 1997 (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, allocable to the Class M Certificates for
such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling Agreement.
Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period will
be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the
Pooling Agreement. The "Interest Accrual Period" with respect to any
Distribution Date and with respect to each Class of Certificates is the calendar
month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement.
This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things,
certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Montehiedra Partner Loans,
as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, the interests of the Class M
Certificateholders in the Trust Fund consists solely of (i) the Montehiedra
Partner Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling Agreement; (ii)
all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the
Montehiedra Partner Loans due after the Cut-Off Date; (iii) any indemnities or
guaranties given as additional security for the Montehiedra Partner Loans; (iv)
all assets deposited in the Class M Collection Account and Class M Distribution
Account including reinvestment income thereon; (v) the proceeds of any of the
foregoing; and (vi) the Montehiedra Partner Guarantee.
Pursuant to the Pooling Agreement, in the event that the Master Servicer or
the Trustee is unsure, in its good faith business judgment, as to whether a
reimbursable expense with respect to the Montehiedra Partner Loans would
ultimately be recoverable from collections on the Montehiedra Partner Loans, the
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, will not be obligated
pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement to expend such funds unless 100%
of the Percentage Interests in the Class M Certificates direct the Master
Servicer or the Trustee to incur such expense. If Holders of 100% of the
Percentage Interests in the Class M Certificates so direct the Master Servicer
or the Trustee, the Class M Certificateholders will be deemed to have agreed to,
and will be required to indemnify the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the
case may be, with respect to the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, in taking
the related actions (including interest thereon at the Advance Rate).
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling Agreement, and
reference is made to the Pooling Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all
the Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the
Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling Agreement which relates to the
amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class
or Classes affected thereby.
The Seller may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less
than 30 days' prior notice given to the Trustee and Master Servicer any time on
or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner
Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, at a purchase price, payable
in cash, equal to not less than the greater of:
(i)______the sum of
(A) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan and the Montehiedra Partner Loans, included in the
Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date;
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of the
date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the
month preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans as to which title to the
related Mortgaged Property or Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) or the MPL
Interest Rate, as applicable, to the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period preceding such Distribution
Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted under the Pooling
Agreement with interest on all unreimbursed Advances at
the Advance Rate; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by
an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created by the
Pooling Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set
forth in the Pooling Agreement) shall terminate immediately following the
occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to
Article IX of the Pooling Agreement on the Termination Date; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration
of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United
Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling Agreement.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been

the Class Q Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists
primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial

The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant

issued under the Pooling Agreement 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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling

Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as

herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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 Net Default Interest then distributable, if

more fully described in the Pooling Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may
be entitled to Prepayment Premiums, as provided in the Pooling Agreement.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee with wiring instructions no less than

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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee may, directly or through an agent,
take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning

As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all
the Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the
Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling Agreement which relates to the
amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class
or Classes affected thereby.
The Seller may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less
than 30 days' prior notice given to the Trustee and Master Servicer any time on
or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner
Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, at a purchase price, payable
in cash, equal to not less than the greater of:

(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of the
date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the
month preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans as to which title to the
related Mortgaged Property or Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) or the MPL
Interest Rate, as applicable, to the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period preceding such Distribution
Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted under the Pooling
Agreement with interest on all unreimbursed Advances at
the Advance Rate; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by
an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created by the
Pooling Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set
forth in the Pooling Agreement) shall terminate immediately following the
occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to
Article IX of the Pooling Agreement on the Termination Date; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration
of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United
Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling Agreement.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been

Percentage Interest: 100%
No.: 1
This certifies that Goldman, Sachs & Co. is owner the registered owner of
an interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect
to the Class R Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below,
consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the
Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be
serviced, pursuant to the Pooling 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 Agreement and is bound thereby. Also
issued under the Pooling Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B,
Class A-2C, Class A-2D, Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class X-2, Class C, Class D,
Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class Q, Class M, Class LR and Class MR
Certificates (together with the Class R Certificates, the "Certificates"; the
Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling Agreement 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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
This Certificate represents a pro rata undivided beneficial interest in a
"residual interest" in a "real estate mortgage investment conduit," as those
terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(2) and 860D of the Internal
Revenue Code of l986, as amended, and certain other assets.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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 the
aggregate amount, if any, allocable to the Class R Certificates for such
Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling Agreement.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
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

interest belongs to the related Borrower); (xiii) the Montehiedra Partner
Guarantee; and (xiv) all of the mortgagee's right, title and interest under any

obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon

more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and

The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a

Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the

Percentage Interest: 100%
No.: 1
This certifies that Goldman, Sachs & Co. is owner the registered owner of
an interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect
to the Class MR Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below,
consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the
Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be
serviced, pursuant to the Pooling 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 Agreement and is bound thereby. Also
issued under the Pooling Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B,
Class A-2C, Class A-2D, Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class X-2, Class C, Class D,
Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class Q, Class M, Class R and Class LR
Certificates (together with the Class MR Certificates, the "Certificates"; the
Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling Agreement 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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
This Certificate represents a pro rata undivided beneficial interest in a
"residual interest" in a "real estate mortgage investment conduit," as those
terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(2) and 860D of the Internal
Revenue Code of l986, as amended, and certain other assets.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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 the
aggregate amount, if any, allocable to the Class MR Certificates for such
Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling Agreement.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
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 Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (i) such
Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans as from time to time are
subject to the Pooling Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating
thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect
of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans due after the Cut-Off
Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO
Property; (v) any property acquired on behalf of the Trust Fund through
foreclosure on the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral; (vi) the Master Servicer's
and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with respect to the
Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and
any proceeds thereof; (vii) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any
security agreements; (viii) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional
security for any Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans; (ix) all
assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, Reserve Accounts (to
the extent such assets in such accounts are not assets of the respective
Borrowers), the Collection Account, the Class M Collection Account, the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Middle-Tier Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Interest Reserve Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the Class M
Distribution Account and any REO Account including reinvestment income thereon;
(x) any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties;
(xi) the rights and remedies under the Loan Sale Agreement; (xii) the proceeds
of any of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the
Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such
interest belongs to the related Borrower); (xiii) the Montehiedra Partner
Guarantee; and (xiv) all of the mortgagee's right, title and interest under any
Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling Agreement, and
reference is made to the Pooling Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all
the Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the
Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling Agreement which relates to the
amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class
or Classes affected thereby.
The Seller may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less
than 30 days' prior notice given to the Trustee and Master Servicer any time on
or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner

month preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans as to which title to the
related Mortgaged Property or Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) or the MPL
Interest Rate, as applicable, to the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period preceding such Distribution
Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted under the Pooling
Agreement with interest on all unreimbursed Advances at
the Advance Rate; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by
an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created by the
Pooling Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set
forth in the Pooling Agreement) shall terminate immediately following the
occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to
Article IX of the Pooling Agreement on the Termination Date; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration
of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United
Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling Agreement.

GS MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORPORATION II
COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATES,
SERIES 1997-GL I, CLASS LR
Percentage Interest: 100%
No.: 1
This certifies that Goldman, Sachs & Co. is owner the registered owner of
an interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect
to the Class LR Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below,
consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on
commercial properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the
Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be
serviced, pursuant to the Pooling 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 Agreement and is bound thereby. Also
issued under the Pooling Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B,
Class A-2C, Class A-2D, Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class X-2, Class C, Class D,
Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class Q, Class M, Class R and Class MR
Certificates (together with the Class LR Certificates, the "Certificates"; the
Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling Agreement 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 August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Pooling Agreement.
This Certificate represents a pro rata undivided beneficial interest in a
"residual interest" in a "real estate mortgage investment conduit," as those
terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(2) and 860D of the Internal
Revenue Code of l986, as amended, and certain other assets.
The Trustee 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
Trustee under the Pooling Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Trustee, or the Paying
Agent on behalf of the Trustee, will distribute (other than the final
distribution on any Certificate), on the second Business Day following the 11th
day of each month, commencing on September 15, 1997 (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 the
aggregate amount, if any, allocable to the Class LR Certificates for such
Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling Agreement.
All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate)
will be made by the Paying Agent 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. 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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
Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee 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 Trustee 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
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 Agreement.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, the Trust Fund includes (i) such
Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans as from time to time are
subject to the Pooling Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating
thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect
of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans due after the Cut-Off
Date; (iii) any REO Property; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO
Property; (v) any property acquired on behalf of the Trust Fund through
foreclosure on the Montehiedra Pledged Collateral; (vi) the Master Servicer's
and the Trustee's rights under the insurance policies with respect to the
Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and
any proceeds thereof; (vii) any Assignments of Leases, Rents and Profits and any
security agreements; (viii) any indemnities or guaranties given as additional
security for any Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner Loans; (ix) all
assets deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, Reserve Accounts (to
the extent such assets in such accounts are not assets of the respective
Borrowers), the Collection Account, the Class M Collection Account, the
Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Middle-Tier Distribution Account, the
Upper-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the
Interest Reserve Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the Class M
Distribution Account and any REO Account including reinvestment income thereon;
(x) any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties;
(xi) the rights and remedies under the Loan Sale Agreement; (xii) the proceeds
of any of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the
Lock-Box Accounts, Escrow Accounts, and any Reserve Accounts, to the extent such
interest belongs to the related Borrower); (xiii) the Montehiedra Partner
Guarantee; and (xiv) all of the mortgagee's right, title and interest under any
Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling Agreement, and
reference is made to the Pooling Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, this Certificate is transferable or exchangeable only upon
surrender of this Certificate to the Certificate Registrar at the Corporate
Trust Office together with an assignment and transfer (executed by the Holder or
his duly authorized attorney), subject to the applicable requirements in Article
V of the Pooling Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of this
Certificate, subject to the applicable requirements of Article V of the Pooling
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall duly
authenticate in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Certificates in Denominations of a like aggregate Denomination of this
Certificate. Such Certificates shall be delivered by the Certificate Registrar
in accordance with Section 5.02(e) of the Pooling Agreement.
Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent of any of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Seller, the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar, any
Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice or
knowledge to the contrary.
No fee or service shall be imposed by the Certificate Registrar for its
services in respect of any registration of transfer or exchange referred to in
Section 5.02 of the Pooling Agreement other than for transfers to Institutional
Accredited Investors, as also provided therein. In connection with any transfer
to an Institutional Accredited Investor, the transferor shall reimburse the
Trust Fund for any costs (including the cost of the Certificate Registrar's
counsel's review of the documents and any legal opinions, submitted by the
transferor or transferee to the Certificate Registrar as provided herein)
incurred by the Certificate Registrar in connection with such transfer. The
Certificate Registrar may require payment by each transferor of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, expense or other governmental charge payable in connection
with any such transfer.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time
to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders; (i)
to cure any ambiguity; (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in the
Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions in such agreement; (iii) to amend any
provision thereof to the extent necessary or desirable to maintain the status of
each of the Upper-Tier REMIC, the Middle-Tier REMIC, and Lower-Tier REMIC as a
REMIC, or to prevent the imposition of any material state or local taxes; (iv)
to amend or supplement any provisions in either of such agreements to the extent
necessary or desirable to maintain the rating or ratings assigned to each of the
Classes of Certificates by each Rating Agency; (v) to amend or supplement any
provisions in either of such agreements that shall not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting thereto,
as evidenced in writing by an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the party
requesting such amendment, or as evidenced by confirmation in writing from each
Rating Agency that such amendment or supplement will not result in a
qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the then-current ratings assigned to
the Certificates, or (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under the Pooling Agreement, which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Pooling Agreement and will not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current rating or ratings
then assigned to any outstanding Class of Certificates, as confirmed by each
Rating Agency in writing.
Further, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee
and the Fiscal Agent, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of
the Certificateholders, may amend the Pooling Agreement to modify, eliminate or
add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Trust REMIC as three separate REMICs or of the Grantor
Trust as a grantor trust, or to prevent the imposition of any additional
material state or local taxes, at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding; provided, however, that such action, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund), is necessary or helpful to
maintain such qualification or to prevent the imposition of any such taxes, and
would not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder.
The Pooling Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from
time to time by the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders;
provided, however, that no such amendment shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of all the
Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(ii) change the percentages of Voting Rights of Holders of
Certificates which are required to consent to any action or
inaction under the Pooling Agreement, without the consent of all
the Holders of all Certificates representing all Percentage
Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
(iii) alter the Servicing Standard or the obligations of the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
to make a P&I Advance or Property Advance without the consent of
the Holders of all Certificates representing all of the
Percentage Interests of the Class or Classes affected thereby;
or
(iv) amend any section of the Pooling Agreement which relates to the
amendment thereof, without the consent of all the Holders of all
Certificates representing all Percentage Interests of the Class
or Classes affected thereby.
The Seller may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less
than 30 days' prior notice given to the Trustee and Master Servicer any time on
or after the Early Termination Notice Date (defined as any date as of which the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 1.0% of
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date) specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date
all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans and the Montehiedra Partner
Loans then included in the Trust Fund, and all property acquired in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans, at a purchase price, payable
in cash, equal to not less than the greater of:
(i)______the sum of
(A) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage
Loan and the Montehiedra Partner Loans, included in the
Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date;
(B) the fair market value of all other property included in
the Trust Fund as of the last day of the month preceding
such Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent
appraiser acceptable to the Master Servicer as of the
date not more than 30 days prior to the last day of the
month preceding such Distribution Date;
(C) all unpaid interest accrued on such principal balance of
each such Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans
(including for this purpose any Mortgage Loan or the
Montehiedra Partner Loans as to which title to the
related Mortgaged Property or Montehiedra Pledged
Collateral has been acquired) at the Mortgage Rate (plus
the Excess Rate, to the extent applicable) or the MPL
Interest Rate, as applicable, to the last day of the
Interest Accrual Period preceding such Distribution
Date;
(D) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Property Advances,
and unpaid Servicing Fees, Special Servicing
Compensation, Trustee Fees and Trust Fund expenses, in
each case to the extent permitted under the Pooling
Agreement with interest on all unreimbursed Advances at
the Advance Rate; and
(ii) the aggregate fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and the
Montehiedra Partner Loans, and all other property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or the Montehiedra Partner Loans in
the Trust Fund, on the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, as determined by an Independent appraiser
acceptable to the Master Servicer as of a date not more than 30
days prior to the last day of the month preceding such
Distribution Date, together with one month's interest thereon at
the related Mortgage Rates or the MPL Interest Rate.
The Master Servicer or, if the Master Servicer does not, any Holder of a
Class LR Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such
Class, may also effect such termination as provided above if it first notifies
the Seller, or the Seller and the Master Servicer, respectively, through the
Trustee of its intention to do so in writing at least 30 days prior to the Early
Termination Notice Date and neither the Seller nor the Master Servicer as the
case may be, terminates the Trust Fund as described above within such 30-day
period. 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 Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling
Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by
an Independent appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling Agreement.
The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent created by the
Pooling Agreement with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation to
make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set
forth in the Pooling Agreement) shall terminate immediately following the
occurrence of the last action required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to
Article IX of the Pooling Agreement on the Termination Date; provided, however,
that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration
of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United
Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling Agreement.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been
executed by the Trustee or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual
signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Pooling Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

Re: Transfer of GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, Commercial
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1997-GL I, Class[ ]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement"), by and among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as Seller, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation., as Master Servicer and Special Servicer,
AMRESCO Management, Inc., as Special Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as
Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent, on behalf of the holders of GS
Mortgage Securities Corporation II, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1997-GL I (the "Certificates") in connection with the
transfer by ________________ (the "Seller") to the undersigned (the "Purchaser")
of $_______________ aggregate Certificate Principal Amount of Class [_]
Certificates, in certificated fully registered form, or, if applicable, a
beneficial interest of such aggregate Certificate Principal Amount in a Private
Global Certificate (either such interest, the "Transferred Interest"). Terms
used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
In connection with such transfer, the undersigned hereby represents and
warrants to you as follows:
[[For Institutional Accredited Investors only.]
1. We are an "institutional accredited investor" (an entity meeting the
requirements of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the
Securities Act (as defined below)) and have such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of our investment in the Transferred Interest, and we and any accounts for
which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its
investment. We are acquiring the Transferred Interest purchased by us for our
own account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an "institutional
accredited investor") as to each of which we exercise sole investment
discretion. The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs
incurred by it in connection with this transfer.]
[[For Qualified Institutional Buyers only.]
1._______The Purchaser is a "qualified institutional buyer" within the
meaning of Rule 144A (as defined below) promulgated under the Securities Act (as
defined below). The Purchaser is aware that the transfer is being made in
reliance on Rule 144A, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to obtain the
information required to be provided pursuant to paragraph (d)(4)(i) of Rule
144A.]
2._______The Purchaser's intention is to acquire the Transferred Interest
(a) for investment for the Purchaser's own account or (b) for resale to (i)
"qualified institutional buyers" in transactions under Rule 144A ("Rule 144A")
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") or (ii) to
"institutional accredited investors" meeting the requirements of Rule 501(a)(1),
(2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, or (iii)
pursuant to any other exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, subject in the case of this clause (ii) to (a) the receipt by
the Certificate Registrar of a letter substantially in the form hereof, (b) the
receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the
Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in
compliance with the Securities Act, (c) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar
of such other evidence acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such
reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and
other applicable laws, and (d) a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust for
any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. It
understands that the Transferred Interest has not been registered under the
Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the registration
provisions of the Securities Act which may depend upon, among other things, the
bona fide nature of the Purchaser's investment intent (or intent to resell to
only certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.
3._______The Purchaser acknowledges that the Transferred Interest has not
been registered or qualified under the Securities Act or the securities laws of
any State or any other jurisdiction, and that the Transferred Interest cannot be
resold unless it is registered or qualified thereunder or unless an exemption
from such registration or qualification is available.
4._______The Purchaser hereby undertakes to be bound by the terms and
conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in its capacity as an owner of
the Transferred Interest in all respects as if it were a signatory thereto. This
undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Certificate Registrar and
all Certificateholders present and future.
5._______The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any portion of
the Transferred Interest, except in compliance with Section 5.02 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.
6._______Check one of the following:*
_______ The Purchaser is a "U.S. Person" and it has attached hereto an
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form W-9 (or successor form).
_______ The Purchaser is not a "U.S. Person" and under applicable law in
effect on the date hereof, no Taxes will be required to be withheld by the
Certificate Registrar (or its agent) with respect to Distributions to be made on
the Transferred Interest. The Purchaser has attached hereto either (i) a duly
executed IRS Form W-8 (or successor form), which identifies such Purchaser as
the beneficial owner of the Transferred Interest and states that such Purchaser
is not a U.S. Person or (ii) two duly executed copies of IRS Form 4224 (or
successor form), which identify such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the
Transferred Interest and state that interest and original issue discount on the
Transferred Interest is, or is expected to be, effectively connected with a U.S.
trade or business. The Purchaser agrees to provide to the Certificate Registrar
updated IRS Forms W-8 or IRS Forms 4224, as the case may be, any applicable
successor IRS forms, or such other certifications as the Certificate Registrar
may reasonably request, on or before the date that any such IRS form or
certification expires or becomes obsolete, or promptly after the occurrence of
any event requiring a change in the most recent IRS form of certification
furnished by it to the Certificate Registrar.
For this purpose, "U.S. Person" means a citizen or resident of the United
States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation, partnership or other
entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any of
its political subdivisions, or an estate or trust the income of which is subject

Loans") described in, and set forth in, the mortgage loan schedule attached as
Exhibit A to this Agreement (the "Mortgage Loan Schedule"), and (ii) those
certain loans (collectively, the "Montehiedra Partner Loans", and collectively
with the Mortgage Loans, the "Mortgage Assets") made by the Mortgage Loan Seller
to each of Montehiedra Holding, L.P. and Montehiedra Holding II L.P.
(collectively, the "Montehiedra Partner Borrowers"). Certain of the Mortgage
Loans (the "GS Mortgage Loans") were originated by or on behalf of the Mortgage
Loan Seller, and the Mortgage Loan Seller acquired a 100% participation interest
in each of the remaining Mortgage Loans (the "GMACCM Loans") immediately upon
origination of such Mortgage Loans by GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation
("GMACCM", and each of the Mortgage Loan Seller and GMACCM, an "Originator").
Pursuant to that certain Responsible Party Agreement, dated as of August 11,
1997 (the "Responsible Party Agreement"), by and between the Mortgage Loan
Seller and GMAC, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D, such
participation interest in the GMACCM Loans shall be converted to an interest in
whole loans and GMACCM shall make certain representations and warranties
regarding the GMACCM Loans. The Company intends to deposit the Mortgage Assets
and other assets into a trust (the "Trust") and cause the creation of a series
of certificates to be known as GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, Commercial
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1997-GL I (the "Certificates"),
evidencing beneficial ownership interests in the Mortgage Assets and the other
assets, under a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to be dated as of August 11,
1997 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among the Company, as seller,
GMACCM, as master servicer and initial special servicer with respect to certain
of the Mortgage Loans (the "Servicer"), AMRESCO Management, as initial special
servicer with respect to certain of the Mortgage Loans (the "Special Servicer"),
ABN AMRO Bank, N.V., as fiscal agent (the "Fiscal Agent"), and LaSalle National
Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
1. Purchase Price; Purchase and Sale. The purchase price (the "Purchase
Price") for the Mortgage Loans shall be an amount equal to 105.316257%,
multiplied by the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of August
11, 1997 (the "Cut-Off Date"), after application of scheduled payments of
principal due on or before the Cut-Off Date whether or not collected. In
addition to the Purchase Price as described above, the Company shall pay to the
Mortgage Loan Seller, at closing, accrued interest on the initial principal
amount of the related Mortgage Loans at the weighted average Mortgage Rate of
those Mortgage Loans, net of interest at the related Servicing Fee Rate. The
Purchase Price for the Montehiedra Partner Loans shall be $11,084,021. The
Purchase Price amounts shall be payable by the Company to the Mortgage Loan
Seller on August 14, 1997 (the "Closing Date") in immediately available federal
funds. The closing for the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Assets shall take
place at the offices of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, New York, New York, at
10:00 a.m. (New York time), on the Closing Date.
On the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall and does hereby sell,
transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Company, and the Company shall and
does hereby purchase, (i) all the right, title and interest of the Mortgage Loan
Seller in and to the Mortgage Assets, including all interest and principal due
on or with respect to the Mortgage Assets after the Cut-Off Date, together with
all of the Mortgage Loan Seller's right, title and interest in and to the
proceeds of any related title, hazard, primary mortgage or other insurance
policies and any related interest rate cap agreement, and (ii) all the right,
title and interest of the Mortgage Loan Seller under the Responsible Party
Agreement, other than the representations and warranties set forth in Section
2(a) of the Responsible Party Agreement, including the remedies set forth
therein for any breach thereof, with respect to the GMACCM Loans. The Company
hereby directs the Mortgage Loan Seller, and the Mortgage Loan Seller hereby
agrees, to deliver to the Trustee all documents, instruments and agreements
required to be delivered by the Company to the Trustee under Section 2.01 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and meeting all the requirements of such
Section 2.01, and such other documents, instruments and agreements as the
Company or the Trustee shall reasonably request; provided, however, that the
Mortgage Loan Seller shall only be obligated to deliver such documents in
accordance with this Section 1 with respect to the GMACCM Loans to the extent
such documents were delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to the
Responsible Party Agreement.

the date specified below or, if no such date is specified, as of the Closing

(i) With respect to the GS Mortgage Loans and the GMACCM Loans, the
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule as to each Mortgage
Loan is true and correct in all material respects;

and interest, taxes, insurance premiums and required reserves;
(iv) The applicable Originator has not advanced funds, or (with
respect to the GS Mortgage Loans and the GMACCM Loans) knowingly received

required by the Mortgage Loan;
(v) (A) The Mortgage Loan documents have been duly and properly
executed, and (B) the Mortgage Loan documents are legal, valid and binding

insurance policy or its equivalent as adopted in the applicable
jurisdiction issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company,
insuring the applicable Originator, its successors and assigns, as to the

of current real property taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents
and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record,
none of which, individually or in the aggregate, in the reasonable judgment

the related Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by
such Mortgage or with the mortgagor's ability to pay its obligations when
they become due or the value of the related Mortgaged Property, (c) the
exceptions (general and specific) set forth in such policy, none of which,
individually or in the aggregate, in the reasonable judgment of the
Mortgage Loan Seller, materially interferes with the security intended to
be provided by such Mortgage or with the mortgagor's ability to pay its

yet been issued in respect of the Mortgage Loan, a policy meeting the
foregoing description is evidenced by a commitment for title insurance
"marked-up" at the closing of the Mortgage Loan), and (d) with respect to
the 380 Madison Loan, the master lease. To the Mortgage Loan Seller's
actual knowledge, no material claims have been made under such title policy

best of the Mortgage Loan Seller's knowledge, there are no mechanics',
materialman's or other similar liens or claims which have been filed for

be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the Mortgage,
unless such lien is insured against under the related title insurance
policy;
(viii) Except as permitted under the loan agreement: (A) as of the
date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, each building or other

insurer meeting the requirements of the Mortgage Loan documents, in an
amount not less than the replacement cost of the Mortgaged Property; each
Mortgaged Property was also covered by business interruption insurance and
comprehensive general liability insurance in amounts generally required by
institutional lenders for similar properties (or with respect to the
Mortgaged Property relating to the Ritz Plaza Loan, amounts generally
required by the applicable Originator), all premiums on such insurance
policies required to be paid as of the date hereof have been paid; such
insurance policies require prior notice to the insured of termination or
cancellation, and no such notice has been received; and (B) the Mortgage
Loan documents obligate the mortgagor to maintain all such insurance
(provided, however, that in the case of the 380 Madison Loan, the master
lessee may maintain such insurance in lieu of the 380 Madison borrower)
and, at the mortgagor's failure to do so (or, with respect to the 380
Madison Loan, at the master lessee's failure to do so), authorize the
mortgagee to maintain such insurance at the mortgagor's cost and expense
and to seek reimbursement therefor from such mortgagor;
(ix) Except as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, as of the most recent
date of inspection of each Mortgaged Property by the Mortgage Loan Seller,
based solely on the Mortgage Loan Seller's review of the property condition
reports and the Mortgage Loan Seller's most recent visual inspection of the
Mortgaged Property, no building or other improvement on any Mortgaged
Property has been affected in any material manner or suffered any material
loss as a result of any fire, wind, explosion, accident, riot, war, or act
of God or the public enemy, and each Mortgaged Property is free of any
material damage that would affect materially and adversely the value of the
Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan and is in good repair.
Except as may be shown on the title policies, the Mortgage Loan Seller has
neither received notice, nor is otherwise aware of, any proceedings pending
for the total condemnation of any Mortgaged Property or a partial
condemnation of any portion material to the borrower's ability to perform
its obligations under its related Mortgaged Loan;
(x) To the best of the Mortgage Loan Seller's knowledge, after review
of compliance confirmations from applicable municipalities, survey and/or
title insurance endorsements, none of the improvements (except, in the case
of the 380 Madison Loan, as disclosed in the survey therefor) included for
the purpose of determining the appraised value of each Mortgaged Property
at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan lies outside of the
boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no
improvements on adjoining properties materially encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property except those which are insured against by the title insurance

the applicable zoning laws and/or set-back ordinances in force when

(xii) Except as set forth in Schedule 1 hereto, since the date of
origination of the Mortgage Loan by the applicable Originator, the terms of

canceled, subordinated or modified in any respect (except with respect to
modifications the economic terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage

delivered to the Trustee) and no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been
released from the lien of the Mortgage in any manner;
(xiii) All applicable mortgage recording taxes and other filing fees
have been paid in full or deposited with the issuer of the title insurance
policy issued in connection with the Mortgage Loan for payment upon
recordation of the relevant documents;

valid assignment of, or a valid security interest in, certain rights under
the related leases, subject only to a license granted to the relevant
mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of
the lessor under such leases, including the right to operate the related
Mortgaged Property, subject only to those exceptions described in clause
(vi) above. To the best of the Mortgage Loan Seller's knowledge and without
affirmative investigation, no person other than the relevant mortgagor owns
any interest in any payments due under such leases that is superior to or
of equal priority with the mortgagee's interest therein, subject only to
those exceptions described in clause (vi) above;
(xv) Each Mortgage, upon due recordation, is a valid and enforceable
first lien on the related Mortgaged Property, subject only to those
exceptions described in clause (vi) above;

knowledge that the mortgagor has taken any action, that would cause the
representations and warranties made by the mortgagor in the Mortgage Loan
documents not to be true;

there is no requirement for future advances thereunder and the Mortgage
Loan Seller covenants that it will not make any future advances under the

inspected each Mortgaged Property within the past twelve months preceding
the date hereof;
(xix) The Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation feature,
other contingent interest feature or negative amortization;
(xx) The Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and contains no equity
participation by the lender;
(xxi) No fraudulent acts were committed by the Mortgage Loan Seller in
connection with the origination process of the Mortgage Loan;
(xxii) All taxes and governmental assessments that, prior to the
origination of the Mortgage Loan, became due and owing in respect of the

origination of the Mortgage Loan;
(xxiii) To the extent required under applicable law, the Mortgage Loan
Seller was authorized to transact and do business in each jurisdiction in
which a Mortgaged Property is located at all times when it held the
Mortgage Loan;
(xxiv) To the best of the Mortgage Loan Seller's knowledge and except
as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, there is no material default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration existing under any of the Mortgage Loan
documents and the Mortgage Loan Seller has not received actual notice of
any event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the
passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure
period, would and does constitute a default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration; no waiver of the foregoing exists and no person other than
the holder of the note may declare any of the foregoing;
(xxv) Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such
as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the
realization against each related Mortgaged Property of the material
benefits of the security, including realization by judicial or, if
applicable, non-judicial foreclosure, and there is no exemption available
to the mortgagor which would materially interfere with such right to
foreclosure;
(xxvi) (A) With respect to each Mortgaged Property, a Phase I
environmental report and, in certain cases, a Phase II environmental report
or an update to such Phase I report was conducted by a licensed qualified
engineer, and the Mortgage Loan Seller has reviewed each such report and
update; (B) the Mortgage Loan Seller, having made no independent inquiry
other than reviewing the environmental reports and updates referenced
herein and without other investigation or inquiry, has no knowledge of any
material and adverse environmental condition or circumstance affecting any
Mortgaged Property that was not disclosed in the related report and/or
update. The Mortgage Loan Seller has not received any actual notice of a
material violation of CERCLA or any applicable federal, state or local
environmental law with respect to any Mortgaged Property that was not
disclosed in the related report and/or update; and (C) the Mortgage Loan
Seller has not taken any actions which would cause any Mortgaged Property
not to be in compliance with all federal, state and local laws pertaining
to environmental hazards;
(xxvii) The Mortgage Loan agreement contains provisions for the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan if (A) the mortgagor voluntarily transfers or encumbers all or any
portion of the related Mortgaged Property, or (B) any direct or indirect
interest in the mortgagor is voluntarily transferred or assigned, other
than, in each case as permitted under the terms and conditions of the
Mortgage Loan documents;
(xxviii) In connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, the
applicable Originator has received an opinion of counsel (with customary
exceptions, qualifications and assumptions) to the effect that: (A) when
each Mortgage and Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, if any, are duly
recorded and indexed in the appropriate state and local offices for such
recording and indexing, and when the related UCC financing statements are
filed and indexed in the appropriate state and local offices for such
filing and indexing, such recording and filings shall be sufficient to
perfect the lien on the Mortgaged Property described therein; (B) no
re-recording or re-filing of any said instruments will be necessary to
continue the perfection and priority of the lien against the related
Mortgaged Property, other than filing UCC continuation statements with the
appropriate state and local offices as required under the law of the
applicable state to continue the perfection of the liens perfected by the
UCC financing statements; and (C) when recorded and filed as provided
above, each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits,
if any, shall constitute a valid, enforceable and perfected lien on, and
security interest in, the related Mortgaged Property;
(xxix) To the best of the Mortgage Loan Seller's knowledge and without
affirmative investigation or inquiry, there is no pending action, suit or
proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against the mortgagor
or any Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which could materially
affect the mortgagor's performance of its obligations under the Mortgage
Loan documents;
(xxx) The Mortgage Loan was originated by, or on behalf of, the
Mortgage Loan Seller and complies in all material respects with the
Mortgage Loan Seller's underwriting policies in effect as of the
origination date of the Mortgage Loan, except as described on any
exceptions report delivered to the lender prior to the Closing Date and
except to the extent that such policies are modified and/or superseded;
(xxxi) The origination, servicing and collection practices used by the
Mortgage Loan Seller have been in all respects legal, proper and prudent
and have met customary industry standards except to the extent that, in
connection with its origination, such standards were modified by the
Mortgage Loan Seller in its reasonable discretion;
(xxxii) Except as set forth in the loan agreement for the Cadillac
Fairview Pool Loan in connection with the assignment, transfer or
conveyance of a Related Individual Loan, the Note and Mortgage contain no
provision limiting the right or ability of the applicable Originator to
assign, transfer and convey the Mortgage to any other person or entity;
(xxxiii) If any Mortgaged Property is subject to any leases, to the
best of the Mortgage Loan Seller's knowledge, the mortgagor is the owner
and holder of the landlord's interest under any leases and the related
Mortgage and Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, if any, provides for
the appointment of a receiver for rents or allows the mortgagee to enter
into possession to collect rent or provide for rents to be paid directly to
mortgagee in the event of a default, subject to the exceptions described in
clause (vi) hereof;
(xxxiv) If a Mortgage is a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and
currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust, and no fees or
expenses are or will become payable to the trustee under the deed of trust,
except in connection with the sale or release of the Mortgaged Property
following default or payment of the loan;
(xxxv) Any insurance proceeds in respect of a casualty loss or taking,
will be applied either to the repair or restoration of all or part of the
related Mortgaged Property, with the mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it
having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or
restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon
except to the extent of any excess proceeds after restoration and, with
respect to the 380 Madison Loan, subject to the terms of the master lease;
(xxxvi) Based on the Mortgage Loan Seller's review of the 100-year
flood plain map provided by FEMA, except for the Mortgaged Properties set
forth on Schedule 1, no Mortgaged Property is (and with respect to each
GMACCM Loan, since the date of origination, such GMACCM Loan has not
become) located in a special flood hazard area (Zone A) as defined by the
Federal Insurance Administration, and with respect to the Mortgaged
Properties set forth on Schedule 1, flood insurance coverage has been
obtained;
(xxxvii) With respect to any Mortgage which is secured in whole or in
part by the interest of a borrower as a lessee under a ground lease and
based upon the terms of the ground lease or an estoppel letter from the
ground lessor (and, with respect to the Maschellmac ground leases, such
other sources as the Mortgage Loan Seller deemed appropriate), the
following apply to such ground lease:
(A) The ground lease or a memorandum thereof has been duly
recorded, the ground lease permits the interest of the lessee
thereunder to be encumbered by the related Mortgage, does not restrict
the use of the Mortgaged Property, lessee, its successors and assigns
in a manner that would adversely affect the security provided by the
related Mortgage, and there has not been a material change in the
terms of the ground lease since its recordation, with the exception of
written instruments which are part of the related Mortgage Loan
documents delivered to the Trustee.
(B) The ground lease is not subject to any liens or encumbrances
superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Mortgage, other
than the related ground lessor's related fee interest.
(C) The borrower's interest in the ground lease is assignable to
the holder of the Mortgage upon notice to, but without the consent of,
the lessor thereunder and, in the event that it is so assigned, it is
further assignable by the trustee and its successors and assigns upon
notice to, but without a need to obtain the consent of, such lessor.
(D) To the best of the Mortgage Loan Seller's knowledge, as of
the origination date, the ground lease was in full force and effect
and no material default had occurred under the ground lease and there
was no existing condition which, but for the passage of time or the
giving of notice, would result in a default under the terms of the
ground lease. Since the origination date of the Mortgage Loan, no
notice of default under the ground lease has been received by the
holder of the Mortgage.
(E) The ground lease requires the lessor thereunder to give
notice of any default by the lessee to the mortgagee; and the ground
lease, or an estoppel letter received by the mortgagee from the
lessor, further provides that notice of termination given under the
ground lease is not effective against the mortgagee unless a copy of
the notice has been delivered to the mortgagee in the manner described
in such ground lease or estoppel letter.
(F) The mortgagee is permitted a reasonable opportunity
(including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the
interest of the lessee under the ground lease) to cure any default
under the ground lease, which is curable after the receipt of notice
of any default before the lessor thereunder may terminate the ground
lease.
(G) The ground lease has a term which extends not less than 10
years beyond the maturity date of the related Mortgage Loan.
(H) The ground lease requires the lessor to enter into a new
lease with the mortgagee upon termination of the ground lease for any
reason, including rejection of the ground lease in a bankruptcy
proceeding, provided the Mortgagee cures the lessee's defaults.
(I) Under the terms of the ground lease and the related Mortgage,
taken together, any related insurance proceeds will be applied either
to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged
Property, with the mortgagee or a trustee appointed by it having the
right to hold and disburse the proceeds as the repair or restoration
progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of
the Mortgage Loan together with any accrued interest thereon.
(J) Such ground lease does not impose restrictions on subletting.
(K) Either the ground lease or the related Mortgage contains the
borrower's covenant that such ground lease shall not be amended,
canceled, or terminated without the prior written consent of the
mortgagee.
(L) Except as set forth on Schedule 1, either the ground lease or
an estoppel letter contains a covenant that the lessor thereunder is
not permitted, in the absence of an uncured default under the ground
lease, to disturb the possession, interest or quiet enjoyment of any
lessee in the relevant portion of the Mortgaged Property subject to
such ground lease for any reason, or in any manner, which would
materially adversely affect the security provided by the related
Mortgage.
(xxxviii) (A) The Mortgage Loan is directly secured by a Mortgage on
one or more commercial properties, and (B) the value assigned by the
Mortgage Loan Seller, based on appraised values and subject to such
adjustments as the Mortgage Loan Seller deemed necessary pursuant to its
underwriting standards as modified in connection with its origination of
the Mortgage Loan (the "Mortgagee's Appraised Value") with respect to such
Mortgaged Properties was, in the aggregate, at least equal to 125% of the
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan at origination; provided that the
Mortgagee's Appraised Value of each Mortgaged Property must first be
reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the Mortgaged Property that is
senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien that
is in parity with the Mortgage Loan;
(xxxix) With respect to each Mortgaged Property, a Property Condition
Report was prepared by a licensed engineer, and the Mortgage Loan Seller
has reviewed such Property Condition Report. Except as provided in the
Property Condition Reports, to the best of the Mortgage Loan Seller's
knowledge, based solely on its review of such Property Condition Report,
certificates of occupancy and building permits have been issued with
respect to the Mortgaged Property (except, with respect to 380 Madison
Loan, as indicated on Schedule 1);
(xl) Any escrow accounts for taxes or other reserves required to be
funded on the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the
Mortgage Loan documents have been funded and to the actual knowledge of the
Mortgage Loan Seller, with respect to the Cadillac Fairview Pool Loan and
Whitehall Pool Loan, all such escrow accounts required to have been funded
as of the Cut-Off Date (taking into account any applicable notice and grace
period) have been funded;
(xli) The related Assignment of Mortgage constitutes a legal, valid
and binding assignment of such Mortgage to the Company, and the related
Reassignment of Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits, if any,
constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment thereof to the Company;
(xlii) With respect to each GS Mortgage Loan and with respect to each
GMACCM Loan (but only to the extent that a breach of this representation
and warranty would not result in a repurchase obligation by GMACCM under
the Responsible Party Agreement), the related Note is not, and has not been
since the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, secured by any
collateral except the lien of the related Mortgage, any related Assignment
of Leases, Rents and Profits and any related security agreement and escrow
agreement; the security for the Mortgage Loan consists only of the related
Mortgaged Property or Properties, any leases (including without limitation
any credit leases) thereof, and any appurtenances, fixtures and other
property located thereon; and such Mortgaged Property or Properties do not
secure any Mortgage Loan other than the Mortgage Loan being transferred and
assigned to the Company hereunder, except for Mortgage Loans, if any, which
are cross-collateralized with other Mortgage Loans being conveyed to the
Company or subsequent transferee hereunder and identified on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule; and
(xliii) In addition, the Mortgage Loan Seller makes each of the
following representations and warranties with respect to each GMACCM Loan;
provided, however, that the Mortgage Loan Seller shall only be liable
hereunder with respect to a breach of such representations and warranties
to the extent that such breach is caused by the Mortgage Loan Seller's
actions during the period of time subsequent to the date of origination of
the GMACCM Loan and prior to the Closing Date:
(A) Except as set forth in Schedule 1 hereto, since the date of

Addressees Listed on Schedule A
Re: GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, Commercial Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1997-GL I
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are rendering this opinion in connection with the issuance on the date
hereof of the GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, Commercial Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1997-GL I, Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B,
Class A-2C, Class A-2D, Class X-1A, Class X-1B, Class X-2, Class B, Class C,
Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class M, Class Q, Class R, Class MR
and Class LR (the "Certificates"), pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of August 11, 1997 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"),
among GS Mortgage Securities Corporation II, as seller (the "Seller"), GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as master servicer and special servicer,
AMRESCO Management Inc., as special servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as trustee,
and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as fiscal agent. We have acted as the Seller's special
tax counsel in connection with the aforementioned transaction. Capitalized terms
used herein but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to them in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have examined and relied upon
the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction,
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Loan Sale Agreement, dated as of
August 11, 1997, between Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company and the Seller, the
Underwriting Agreement, dated August 7, 1997, between the Seller and Goldman,
Sachs & Co. ("GS&Co."), the Purchase Agreements, dated August 7, 1997 and August
13, 1997, respectively, between the Seller and GS&Co., the Prospectus, dated
June 9, 1997, and the Prospectus Supplement, dated August 7, 1997, relating to
the offering of the Class A-1, Class A-2A, Class A-2B, Class A-2C, Class A-2D,
Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class X-1A and Class X-2
Certificates, the Private Placement Memorandum, dated August 7, 1997, relating
to the offering of the Class H, Class R, Class MR and Class LR Certificates, the
Private Placement Memorandum, dated August 13, 1997, relating to the offering of
the Class M Certificates, specimens of the Certificates, the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Seller, and such certificates, corporate records and other
documents, agreements and instruments, including, among other things, the
documents delivered on the Closing Date, and we have made such examination of
matters of fact and law, as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinion
hereinafter expressed. In connection with such examination, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents, agreements and
instruments submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents,
agreements and instruments of all documents, agreements and instruments
submitted to us as copies or specimens and the authenticity of the originals of
such documents, agreements and instruments submitted to us as copies or
specimens. We have also assumed that all documents, agreements and instruments
have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto,
enforceable against such parties in accordance with their respective terms. As
to any facts material to such opinion that were not known to us, we have relied
upon written certificates and representations of officers and other
representatives of the Seller.
In rendering the opinion set forth below we do not express any opinion
concerning the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Federal income tax laws
of the United States of America.
Based upon the foregoing, assuming that the elections required by Section
860D(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), are
properly made, and assuming that the Trust Fund is administered in compliance
with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date, and
with any subsequent changes in the law, including any amendments to the Code or
applicable Treasury regulations thereunder, it is our opinion on the Closing
Date and thereafter that (a) the Trust Fund, exclusive of the Reserve Accounts,
Lock Box Accounts, the Excess Interest, the Default Interest, the Excess
Interest Distribution Account, the Class Q Distribution Account, the Montehiedra
Partner Loans and the Class M Distribution Account, will qualify for treatment
for Federal income tax purposes as three separate real estate mortgage
investment conduits, as defined in Section 860D of the Code (the "Upper-Tier
REMIC," the "Middle-Tier REMIC" and the "Lower-Tier REMIC"); (b) the Class A-1
Certificates, Class A-2A Certificates, Class A-2B Certificates, Class A-2C
Certificates, Class A-2D Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class C
Certificates, Class D Certificates, Class E Certificates, Class F Certificates,
Class G Certificates, Class H Certificates, Class X-1A Certificates, Class X-1B
Certificates and Class X-2 Certificates will represent "regular interests" in
the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Class R Certificates will constitute the sole class
of "residual interests" in the Upper-Tier REMIC within the meaning of the Code;
(c) the Middle-Tier Regular Interests will constitute "regular interests" in the
Middle-Tier REMIC and the Class MR Certificates will constitute the sole class
of "residual interests" in the Middle-Tier REMIC within the meaning of the Code;
(d) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests will constitute "regular interests" in the
Lower-Tier REMIC and the Class LR Certificates will constitute the sole class of
"residual interests" in the Lower-Tier REMIC within the meaning of the Code; and
(e) the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Excess Interest, the Default
Interest, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Class Q Distribution
Account, the Montehiedra Partner Loans and the Class M Distribution Account will
be classified as a grantor trust under Subpart E, Part I, of Subchapter J of the
Code.
This opinion is given to the addressees hereof for their sole benefit, and
no other person is entitled to rely hereon.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft
