Report of Independent Accountants on Management's Assertion on Compliance with
the Minimum Servicing Standards Set Forth in the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers
The Audit Committee
PNC Bank Corp.
We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying report
titled Report of Management on Compliance with the Minimum Servicing Standards
Set Forth in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, that
except for noncompliance with the minimum servicing standard for custodial bank
accounts, Midland Loan Services, Inc. (MLS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PNC
Bank Corp., complied with the minimum servicing standards set forth in the
Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers (USAP) except for commercial loan and multifamily loan
servicing, minimum servicing standards V.4 and VI1., which the Mortgage Bankers
Association of America has interpreted as inapplicable to such servicing during
the year ended December 31, 1998. Management is responsible for MLS' compliance
with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
management's assertions about MLS' compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about MLS' compliance with those
requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in
the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on MLS'
compliance with specified requirements.
In our opinion, management's assertion that except for noncompliance with the
minimum servicing standard for custodial account reconciliations, MLS complied
with the aforementioned requirements during the year ended December 31, 1998, is
fairly stated, in all material respects.
As discussed in management's assertion, the following material noncompliance
occurred at MLS during the year ended December 31, 1998. With regard to standard
1.4, reconciling items exist which have not been resolved within 90 calendar
days of their original identification.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors of Lennar Partners, Inc.:
We have examined management's assertion about Lennar Partners, Inc.'s (the
"Company") compliance with the minimum servicing standards identified in the
Mortgage Banker's Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program
for Mortgage Bankers (USAP) as applicable to the special servicing of commercial
and multifamily mortgage loans as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998
included in the accompanying management assertion. Management is responsible for
the Company's compliance with those applicable minimum servicing standards. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the
entity's compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with the
applicable minimum servicing standards and performing such other procedures as
we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a
legal determination on the Company's compliance with the applicable minimum
servicing standards.
In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with the
aforementioned applicable minimum servicing standards as of and for the year
ended December 31, 1998 is fairly stated, in all material respects.

the minimum servicing standards as set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association

minimum servicing standards as set forth in the USAP as of December 31, 1998 and
for the year then ended. Based on this evaluation, we assert that during the
year ended December 31, 1998, MLS complied, in all material respects, with the
minimum servicing standards set forth in the USAP except as described below.
With regard to standard 1.4, reconciling items exist which have not been
resolved within ninety calendar days of their original identification.
As of and for this same period, PNCBC had in effect a fidelity bond in the
